Prison Dragon

Chapter 125

Early the next morning, Yang You woke up with a painful headache.

Fortunately, he didn't have to go to court on the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he could sleep until noon.

As soon as Yang You opened his eyes, he saw Ao Chen's unparalleled handsome face right in front of him. He rubbed his eyes and shouted: "Ao..."

Ao Chen put his index finger on his lips, and pointed his other finger outside the bed.

Yang You turned his head, the door was open, Ruifang and Yang Yuchun were walking in with food, Yang You smelled the aroma of lean meat porridge.

Ruifang put all the dishes on the table, "My lord, are you awake?"

Yang Yuchun was holding an earthen pot with hot porridge in his hands. He put down his things and came to check on Yang You's situation.

He touched Yang You's forehead, and said reassuringly, "Fortunately, you don't have a fever, my lord, your injury hasn't healed yet, what wine do you drink? Are you not afraid of accidents?"

"Yes," Ruifang echoed, "Now nothing is as important as our lord's body."

Yang You sighed, he didn't know it, but he couldn't shirk it, many people still took the opportunity of toasting to greet him, if he wanted to win over the courtiers, these entertainments were unavoidable.

"I'll pay attention next time," Yang You covered his forehead and squeezed Ao Chen's hand, then got up to dress and eat.

Ruifang and Yang Yuchun stood around him and stared at him, and there was Ao Chen behind him.

Yang You was stunned by the sight, he waved and said, "Don't look at me, sit down and eat together."

"Who can wait for you, we have already eaten." Ruifang sat down and said.

Yang Yuchun was also sitting next to him, and Yang You knew that he ate a lot, so he asked one more question, "If you're not full, why don't you eat with me?"

Yang Yuchun was already very full after eating, but seeing Yang You's question, he hesitated for a moment and then nodded, Ruifang got up to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Ao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at the two of them.

Yang You felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of food, but didn't talk to Yang Yuchun much.

The atmosphere was unusually silent.

From the corner of his eyes, Yang You saw Yang Yuchun hesitated to speak, swallowed his porridge and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

Yang Yuchun pinched his fingers, and the joints made a clicking sound, "My lord, you don't have a hidden guard, right?"

"Never." Yang You replied.

The cultivation of dark guards is very cruel. Usually, orphans from all over the country are collected to practice martial arts together, and they are instilled with the idea of ​​being loyal to their masters. During this period, they have to go through many cruel eliminations. Become a knife of the master.

Yang You couldn't bear it, since the southwest has never had a dark guard.

Yang Yuchun asked suspiciously: "But I clearly felt that someone was watching us. I also feel the same way now, my lord, is there anyone hiding in your room?"

Yang You squirted out the porridge with a puff, Yang Yuchun immediately took a handkerchief to help him wipe his face, Yang You squinted at Ao Chen who was lying on the bed.

Ao Chen should not be human, right?

Yang You shook his head, "Of course not, it may be your illusion."

Yang Yuchun firmly believed in his intuition, "If it's not a human, it's a ghost. I'd better ask Master Lu to come and see it."

He said he was about to get up.

Yang You: ...

"Okay, okay," Yang You pulled him back, "Who the hell is there, there is nothing, don't think too much, you understand?"

With slender white fingers on Yang Yuchun's sleeve, he sighed and sat back, "I'm really worried..."

Yang You put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating, "Lu Shanjian stays in the house every day, do you think he doesn't do anything? He will definitely know if there is any problem."

Yang Yuchun couldn't hold him back, so he had no choice but to promise not to dwell on this issue.

After dinner, Ruifang asked: "My lord, Mr. Yang Xin's family has arrived in Huangzhou. The messenger said that the old man of the Yang family is seriously ill and needs to be recuperated in Huangzhou. I am afraid that we will not be able to enter Beijing until winter. At that time we will How to arrange them?"

Yang You didn't tell Ruifang about Yang Xin's identity, but only said that he would take good care of Yang Xin. Even if it was a casual remark at that time, Ruifang could guess a little bit.

Yang You thought for a while, "You don't need to rush them to hurry. Taking them to Beijing is to live a good life. You don't have to ruin your body just to hurry, but the loss outweighs the gain. You take Yang Xin to buy an ordinary house and put his name on it. Don't reveal the identity of the palace. Once Yang Xin's family arrives, let them move in. Before they arrive, we have to let him live in our mansion, it's not safe outside."

Ruifang nodded and stepped back.

Only Yang You and Ao Chen were left in the room.

Ao Chen finally spoke, "You bastard, does he like you?"

Yang You was drinking tea when he heard that he sprayed the tea all over his body again.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang You blushed.

Ao Chen walked over and sat next to him, "I seem to be familiar with the way he looks at you."

"He likes you," he said affirmatively.

"I don't know," Yang You said frankly, "He never said it directly, and it is impossible for me to ask."

Yang You could vaguely feel that Yang Yuchun had some strange feelings for him, and it couldn't be completely attributed to the monarchs and ministers, masters and servants, and even friends couldn't describe it accurately.

If Yang Yuchun didn't know his feelings at all, and Yang You asked, it would intensify the emotions in his heart. What if he really thought about that?

If Yang Yuchun really knew that he liked Yang You, and Yang You asked, it wouldn't be true if he agreed, or if he didn't agree.

Firstly, Yang You was thinking about Ao Chen, and secondly, he didn't want to leave a romantic story with Yang Yuchun about the male favorite and the king.

He hoped that Yang Yuchun could lie quietly in the history books and be famous through the ages with his achievements.

Ao Chen smiled and said, "Then will you like him in the future?"

Yang You looked at Ao Chen, shook his head, "This is no longer possible."

"because I?"

Yang You nodded.

Ao Chen laughed again, "Then he is really miserable, he lost even if he couldn't see his rival in love. Should I say a few words to express my gratitude to the prince for his exclusive favor?"

He stabbed Yang You twice with words from time to time, Yang You has long been used to it, "No, no matter whether it's a promise or a relationship, I gave it voluntarily, why do you want to thank me?"

Ao Chen laughed and looked at him affectionately, the pool of cold water turned into a pool of spring water.

There was an osmanthus flower in the room, and there was a hint of sweet fragrance in the wind, and the golden sunlight fell on Ao Chen's face.

Yang You's lips moved slightly, his breathing became a little messy, and the two faced each other silently.

Yang You couldn't take it anymore, he was defeated and pushed Ao Chen, "What are you doing again?"

"I'll imitate the way that cow looks at you." Ao Chen said with his chin propped up.

Hearing this, Yang You raised his head to carefully identify the look in his eyes, then shook his head and said, "It's not like that, that's not how he looks at me."

Ao Chen lowered his eyelashes and raised them again, his eyes changed from affectionate to sly, and there was a cool smile on the corner of his mouth, "I just exaggerated a little."

Yang You still denied, "You may be imitating him, but that is clearly your eyes."

Ao Chen frowned, as if he was thinking about the meaning of Yang You's words.

Yang You said it very cryptically, he was also a person who was not good at expressing emotions directly, and Ao Chen was much better than him in this regard.Ao Chen has a frankness almost like a beast, whether he likes or dislikes is very obvious, he can say anything, dare to say anything.

Yang You had a headache, and lay on the table looking at Ao Chen's tangled expression.

By the beginning of September, the court had basically stabilized. During this period, Shang Luo reversed the decades-long shrunken image, took advantage of Yang Ting's failure to go to the court, and took over the power of the court in large numbers, constantly promoting him. In the past few years, the young people who have been optimistic have even transferred Cui Yan, who was once the backbone of the second prince's party, to the Ministry of Rites as an official.

Of course Zhongshuling Liu Po ​​couldn't see Shangluo's behavior of planting people everywhere. He wanted to fight for it. After all, only he and Shangluo are worthy of the position under one person.

Later, Liu Po ​​didn't know what he saw, so he stopped moving and watched Shangluo sit up.He only spoke to Yang You one day after he came down from court, and he couldn't just watch Shangluo form a party to eliminate dissidents, otherwise the world in the future will be Shangluo's one word.

Yang You pretended that he didn't understand, and fooled it.

The garrisons from all over the country left Beijing safely and did not cause much disturbance.

Liu Wu still went to Jiannan Jiedushi, Yang You left Jiang Ling in the southwest, and wrote to let Liu Hui go to Beijing.

Originally, according to Liu Wu's intention, Yang You took his eldest son and naturally wanted to keep the younger son by his side, but Liu Heng deliberately ran to say that he no longer wanted to live under the shadow of his father and asked Yang You to transfer him to the go outside.

After Yang Shi's death, there were many gaps in the military officers in the northwest of Longxi, so Yang You appointed Liu Heng to Longxi to become a flying cavalry captain, a junior military officer from the sixth rank, and wanted him to practice while he was young.

There are many opportunities to fight the Turks in Longxi and even in the northwest. Liu Heng is very satisfied with the result.

While Hong Guang took the emperor to practice, he spoke good words to Yang You without any trace, and contacted Lu Shanjian in private, asking Yang You to make up for what the emperor lacked in time.

Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, the eyes he looked at Yang You became more and more eager. Yang You was hardly seen by the emperor since he was a child. Even when he looked at himself, it was eyes with other desires.

Yang You has never enjoyed the treatment like now.

Regarding this, Ao Chen only said that he got the position by flattering.

Yang Ren didn't stop his actions either. He could write good poems originally, and he often had banquets with scholars. Time is famous all over the world.

And Yang You seemed to have suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight. Apart from going to court every day and going to the palace to accompany the emperor to cultivate immortality, he basically did nothing. Instead, he was criticized by many civil officials for supporting the emperor's cultivation of immortality.

Generally speaking, the two princes are fairly evenly matched, and everyone is waiting for the chance of a fatal blow.

On the night of the second day of September, Lu Shanjian asked to see him suddenly.

Yang You fell asleep on Ao Chen's chest, drooling, and was pulled up by Ruifang to meet people.

Lu Shanjian said mysteriously, "My lord, the time has come."

Yang You's eyes were sleepy, but he hadn't reacted yet, "What?"

Lu Shanjian said, "Jingxing will appear during the day of Chongjiu. Your Majesty will lead the ministers to climb high and look far. According to the old practice, they should go to Lishan Mountain in the suburbs. When Jingxing appears, Daoist Hongguang will speak for the prince. At this time, my lords will push the boat with the current, and the prince will be able to visit the East Palace."

"As long as the master speaks kind words? Can it work?" Yang You didn't doubt Hongguang's weight in the emperor's heart, but it's still unknown whether this weight can interfere with the crown prince's position. If it is not handled properly, there is a danger of making Yang Ting suspect him.

Speaking of which, the more he got in touch with Ao Chen, the more he felt that the so-called gods were just that.

Yang You didn't have too much hope for Hongguang and Lu Shanjian at all, he said half-jokingly, "Words are still light, it's better to bury some golden coupons in advance, and ask the master to interpret them, only with divine objects can we convince the public .”

Yang Youben just mentioned it casually, but Lu Shanjian's eyes lit up.

Ao Chen also walked behind him, "Do you want me to pick up a piece of dragon scale and engrave it for you?"

Yang You: ...
