Rebirth of Tao Yao

Chapter 128

After all, Baimuxiang is just a kind of spice, and people who don't know its medicinal properties usually use it as a common spice.In addition, there is no other kind of spice in Wen Ziran's camp, and the hunting ground is not the home of the Yan family's father and daughter. It is difficult to investigate this matter.

In other words, this sullen banquet can be regarded as eaten.

The effect of the medicine took full effect, the little general hugged himself in the corner of the camp for more than an hour, and then he survived profusely sweating.When her body finally regained her composure, her whole body became wilted, and she no longer looked as energetic as before.

After suffering this dark loss, Li didn't even mention going for a walk in the next two days.She nestled in the tent to recuperate, and the news from the outside came one after another.For example, the prince of Chu's arm was saved, but he needed to cultivate for half a year.Another example is that the wolves in the hunting ground were finally besieged and killed by General Xuanwei. He was a member of the King of Chu, and he saved the situation for the King of Chu.Another example is that Prince Yan performed very well in this winter hunting. He brought a few guards to hunt a deer and carried a litter of wild boars...

There are a lot of bits and pieces of news, so let Yan Li hear it, and don't take it too seriously—the situation is just like what his father said, and it will develop towards a balanced direction, unless the old emperor has a physical problem, Otherwise, this balance will not be broken for a while.And when the situation was broken, the father and daughter had already returned to the border town, and it was difficult for them to be implicated in the Beijing-China incident.

For this kind of court battle, Yan Li felt very bored after watching it a few times, and only wanted to go back to the border town after the winter hunting.

However, the development of things is always unexpected. Yan Li's side is still guarding against someone who will continue to attack her or Wen Ziran, but the old emperor who she thought would be safe over there suddenly fell ill.

I heard that it was just a cold, but when one gets older, a cold can be fatal, so when the old emperor was too sick to get out of bed, the original balance fell apart instantly!

Even if Yan Li and Wen Ziran didn't leave the tent, they quickly felt the oppressive atmosphere in the entire camp.

The father and daughter took the time to sit together around the charcoal basin again. When Yan Li fiddled with the charcoal fire with iron tongs, the flickering light of the fire made her face seem cloudy and uncertain.

Yan Qing stretched out his hands to warm the fire, turned his palms over to warm the backs of his hands after being burned, and looked a little careless: "Some people are getting impatient, remember that no matter what happens outside, we don't care about it."

Yan Li responded in a low voice, and fiddled with the iron tongs in the charcoal fire again, at which point sparks flew up.

Xu is rare to see Yan Li's listless appearance, Yan Qing couldn't help but look at her more, thought for a while and asked: "Why, it's been a few days and you haven't recovered yet?"

Yan Li looked at him sadly when he heard this, but his head was still drooping and he didn't want to speak.

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, Yan Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his slightly sharp eyes fell on Yan Li, and he asked in a deep voice: "A Li, are you the one who doesn't fight back even after you suffer a lot?"

Yan Li's hands that were fiddling with the charcoal fire finally paused slightly, and then continued to poke at the charcoal fire for a while as if nothing had happened, and actually pulled out two sweet potatoes that were thrown into the charcoal fire at some point.She pulled the sweet potatoes out of the ashes in the lower layer, and let them cool on the ground for a while, then picked up one and handed it to Yan Qing: "What do you think, father?"

Yan Qing was not polite, and after taking it, he stretched out his hand and broke it open. Although the outer layer had been roasted black, the orange-red sweet potato meat inside was steaming and exuding an attractive sweet aroma.He lowered his head and took a bite, then looked up at Yan Li: "It's troublesome, you should be careful."

Yan Li nodded, and replied softly: "Understood."

Regarding Yan Li, Yan Qing can basically rest assured, perhaps because of the prudence and forbearance she cultivated in her childhood, she is more able to calm down when encountering major events.After suffering such a dark loss like before, Yan Qing said that if she endured it, she would really endure it, tolerance in various senses.Up to now, the two of them have expressed their composure, but in fact, they probably have some idea of ​​who did it.

Revenge is for revenge, and the Yan family has not had the habit of suffering losses for a hundred years, let alone such an unappealing method.But the time for revenge is far from here, and the muddy water in Beijing is not easy to navigate. Yan Qing reminded her because she was afraid that she would be young and energetic.

But Yan Li obviously still had his sense of proportion, so Yan Qing felt relieved and ate the sweet potatoes baked by his daughter himself.He raised his head after eating half of it, but found that Yan Li was wrapping another sweet potato in a handkerchief, and he didn't intend to eat it, so he asked casually, "You don't want to eat it?"

Yan Li had already stood up with the roasted sweet potato, and said, "I'll take it back and share it with Zi Ran while it's still hot."

General Yan looked at the half-eaten sweet potato in his hand when he heard the words, feeling inexplicably stuffy.

****************************************************************************

Yan Li really took the roasted sweet potatoes back to share with Wen Ziran, not because she deliberately showed her affection in front of her old father, but because what happened that day was so embarrassing that the two of them always felt awkward getting along these days.

Wen Ziran felt fine, after all, she couldn't see and didn't know Yan Li's embarrassment at that time, and although the other party's actions were a little out of line, when she showed rejection, Yan Li let her go without hesitation.Compared with the anxiety of the wedding night in the previous life, let alone Yan Li didn't do anything to her in the end, even if something happened, she would not blame Yan Li.

So, in the past two days, the only one who really felt awkward and awkward was the little general.

Today, Yan Li came back with roasted sweet potatoes to share, and Wen Ziran readily accepted it.Even because she knew that Yan Li was fond of sweets, she didn't eat much, and most of the roasted sweet potatoes were fed into Yan Li's own mouth in the end.

Sweets may be the best thing to ease the mood. The little general obviously relaxed after being fed, like a wolf cub that has just been groomed, even a little lazy.

The two gossiped one sentence at a time, completely exposing the embarrassing things before, and Wen Ziran asked, "Brother, when can we return to Beijing?"

In fact, counting the time, the seven-day winter hunting has come to an end, and at this time in previous years, everyone in the entourage will also start to pack up and return to Beijing.However, because the old emperor fell ill this year, the atmosphere in the entire camp became depressed, and no one dared to mention the matter of returning to Beijing.

Yan Li's news is obviously better than Wen Ziran's, and Yan Qing always wants to send her a message if there is anything to do.She had nothing to hide from Wen Ziran, so she said, "Your Majesty is ill, and the imperial doctor said that it is not suitable to be exhausted, so we may not be able to leave for the time being."

He does not mean that.

When Wen Ziran heard this, she immediately counted the time in her heart. In her previous life, although she often lived in a boudoir in a border town, it was impossible for her not to know such a major event as the emperor's death and change of Yuan Dynasty.Counting the days, the old emperor's death should be next winter. She had heard from her elder brother and General Yan that the old emperor was in good spirits and had the strength to fight wits and courage with his two sons. For the time being, it should be... all right, right?

Although thinking this way, the gap between the past and the present is still too large, and Wen Ziran is still somewhat worried.There was a bit of worry on her face, and she sighed: "It's delayed again, and I don't know when we can go back to the border town."

Wen Ziran's original intention of returning to the border town was to stay away from the right and wrong place in Beijing, but when Yan Li heard this, he immediately thought of their marriage.She never thought that her fiancée would worry about such a major political situation, so she sat down next to Wen Ziran, took her hand and squeezed it: "Don't worry, we can always go back before the spring, and the wedding date will not be delayed."

Yan Li seemed to speak frankly, but Wen Ziran felt a little shy after hearing this, and her thoughts were immediately taken astray...

Not talking about political affairs, the two lovers quickly bonded again and continued to live their little lives behind closed doors.As for the fluctuations in the hearts of the people in the camp and the tit-for-tat confrontation between factions, they just pulled the curtains to isolate everything.

Such behavior is not entirely due to Yan Li's indifference to the court. In fact, although the influence of the Yan family is great, most of them are on the border troops.They hold the military power in their hands, but now that they are in Beijing, what the father and daughter can do is quite limited.

Since what can be done is limited, it is better to remain unchanged.

This is what Yan Li planned. She locked herself in the tent and was silent as if she was a transparent person.If there were still a lot of people trying to get her idea at the beginning, whether it was a marriage or coercion, there were always a lot of people who set their sights on her.But now it's different, the old emperor's illness intensified the struggle for power between the two factions, everyone is staring at the throne, who can still look up to her, a little heir of the Yan family?

Not only Yan Li, but even Yan Qing is low-key these days, wishing to create the illusion that he is still stationed at the border.

But this low-key attitude was finally broken. On the third day after the old emperor fell ill and disappeared, a group of imperial guards broke into the two camps of the Yan family with knives!At the same time, there was a sudden noise in the originally dull and depressing camp, and occasionally a woman's sharp voice could be heard scolding or reprimanding something.

Wen Ziran was blocked by Yan Li, she couldn't see the tension in front of her eyes, but she could feel the tense atmosphere.She tugged at a corner of Yan Li's clothes, with a rare expression of uneasiness on her face.

Yan Li had already pulled out the saber she carried with her. She protected Wen Ziran with one hand, while confronting the dozen or so imperial guards who suddenly broke into the camp, frowning and asking: "Who are you, why did you trespass?!"

Xu knew that the young general in front of him was very powerful, maybe he still had some concerns, the attitude of the imperial guards on the opposite side was quite polite, and he didn't directly attack: "Young general, don't resist, there are many people surrounding the camp. , you can't get out with your fiancee. So, why not obediently follow us, and we won't hurt you. "

While speaking, Yan Li had already scrutinized the few people who broke in, and finally came to a heart-shattering conclusion: These imperial guards are all real, not fake thieves!

Well, in the current situation, plus the old emperor's serious illness, she can only think of two words - forcing the palace!
