Yi Lie was temporarily placed in Yeyouting, but he was sent to the West Hall in the early morning of this day. He came with more than twenty guards, guarding the West Hall layer by layer.
Everyone knows that although Emperor Mingde's move is intended to appease people's hearts, after all, Yan Lie is a criminal minister and a foreigner. It is unavoidable to cause trouble. Be on your guard.
There are crowds of people outside, but the West Hall is deserted. Because of being tired by Li Yuanmin, Qiuchan and Dongyue were also dragged to beat ten sticks each, and now they are resting in the backyard of the West Hall to recuperate from their injuries, and they eat food boxes delivered by the attendant in the dining room.
Before he was injured, Li Yuanmin was not a prince who could not do without others. Only his hip injury was not healed. It has been quite hard these days.
There are no other palace servants in the palace, except for Li Yuanmin who is lying on the bed, there is only one person who can come and go freely. He had already circled the prince's residence for a week, and found that it was not as magnificent as the nearby palaces. , the paint on the beams and buildings has peeled off, revealing the mottled brown inside, and the sight is desolate.
Yi Lie didn't enter Yeyou Court early when he was young, but he could tell that this was not the treatment of a favored prince.
Remembering the situation on the day of the autumn election, Yan Lie couldn't help but look at the pale and thin man on the bed who was resting with his eyes closed.
Since he came to the west hall, the man has been in a coma, as if he was very tired, and he didn't wake up for a long time, but he seemed to be in a relaxed mood, and he seldom spoke. He looked at him occasionally, and occasionally laugh.
Yi Lie has never learned palace rules. Although he was given the title of "Tai Xue Servant", he is actually just a wild and unruly person.
Li Yuanmin originally wanted him to pack up a side room in the side hall and come out to rest temporarily, but Yan Lie took it upon himself to move a long couch to the side hall to lie in front of Li Yuanmin's bed, and found another one from somewhere The mattress is just fine.
Li Yuanmin sighed, knowing that the child would not be able to set the rules for a while, so he could only follow him.
In the middle of the night, Li Yuanmin was awakened by the urge to urinate. He struggled to support his upper body, trying to move to the side of the clean room to relieve his hand as before.
The curtain was lifted with a swipe.
It is fierce.
He didn't speak. Li Yuanmin glanced at him, and after a while, he waved to him, motioning for him to help him.
"... I want to urinate."
Yi Lie didn't stretch out his hand, but looked around, took out his own chamber pot and handed it to him. Li Yuanmin was stunned for a while, blushed, and continued to reach out to him.
"You help me to clean the room."
Yi Lie frowned. I don't know why he didn't use the chamber pot, but he struggled bitterly to clean the room, but he didn't say much, and helped him up according to his words. Seeing his pale face, his legs Trembling, she leaned over to avoid his wound, and easily hugged him horizontally.
Although Li Yuanmin is small in stature, he is three years older than him, and Yan Lie is only a ten-year-old boy at this time. He can hug him so easily. This reminds him of the man with extraordinary physical strength. A once-in-a-lifetime titan who can lift mountains and carry a tripod.
Now, he is just a taciturn son of a criminal who has just been rescued.
Li Yuan felt all kinds of feelings in his heart, and it was difficult to understand for a while. He grabbed his neck and only coughed lightly:
"You don't have to."
"This way, easy."
Maybe he hasn't spoken to anyone for a long time, the boy's voice is hoarse and clumsy.
Yi Lie carried him to the clean room to stabilize, and was about to help him untie his trousers, but Li Yuanmin hurriedly stopped him, his ears were slightly red.
"Just wait outside."
Seeing that Yan Lie still didn't leave, he just raised his eyes slightly, blushed and said, "Go."
Yi Lie glanced at him with his dark eyes, put down the curtain, and retreated out. After a long time, the drizzling sound came from inside.
Yi Lie didn't know that Xiaojie was going to sit squatting. He was puzzled for a while, thinking it was the rules of the nobles in the palace.
When there was a soft "Okay." Yan Lie opened the curtain and went in. The face of the other party looked redder than before, and there was some sweat from tiredness or pain.
"you should not… "
Yi Lie originally wanted to say that when he was seriously injured and incontinent, he was the one who helped clean up the filth. What he did was naturally nothing compared to him, but he was a taciturn person, looking at the tip of the other's ear With a red face, he stopped.
After a while, Li Yuanmin put his arm on his shoulder, "Just take me back."
Yi Lie picked him up by the waist, walked a few steps, and suddenly heard Li Yuanmin's slight voice,
"I am..."
Yi Lie lowered his head to look at him, and saw that his eyes were fluttering, and under the moonlight, he trembled a little fragile. He pursed his bloodless lips, and said softly, "I am bisexual."
Yi Lie froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered his reddish face, and that drizzling voice just now, and an inexplicable emotion filled his heart. It couldn't be said to be uncomfortable, but it was swollen and sour. People are at a loss.
But there was only a moment of stagnation, Yan Lie tightened his arms, hummed softly, and strode towards the bedroom.
***
It is said that if Li Yuanmin was awarded the title of King Guang'an, each palace must prepare rich gifts, and he would come to the West Hall to congratulate him and see him off.
But all the halls in the harem seemed to be silent in unison.
The West Hall is as depressed and quiet as ever.
Li Yuanmin would rather be in this situation. In the past few days, his injuries have gradually improved. After two days, he can go to the ground, but walking is more difficult. It takes a whole day to get from the bedroom to the palace gate. The time of burning incense. But his mood became clearer day by day, the day of escaping from the capital was imminent, and there were no other annoying people to disturb him. Enough to make him thank God.
But to his surprise, Empress Sima came.
However, the purpose of the other party's trip was obviously not elsewhere. He just walked in, asked him a few words, and then hurried to the apse—the place where the ladies of the West Palace lived.
When Empress Sima came out from the apse, the rich gifts brought by the big maid beside her disappeared.
Li Yuanmin stood respectfully at the gate of the palace, watching Empress Sima leave. When all the palace people hugged the Phoenix and disappeared into the distance, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the apse thoughtfully.
After dinner, Li Yuanmin called Qiu Chan and Dong Yue to him.
The injuries of the two people have recovered, and they just lay still for a few days, and their complexions inevitably faded a little.
Dongyue still has the dull appearance, but it is Qiu Chan. In her hair is a hairpin that has never been seen before and is quite precious. The emerald hairpin with pearls in the bird's mouth is inserted, and her face has changed from the past. With a bit of joy, Jiaojiaorourou stood there, very beautiful. Li Yuanmin looked at her, and probably knew what was going on in his mind.
He put his fist against his lips and coughed lightly.
"I'm the one who hurt you this time."
The two have different thoughts, but they are all panic-stricken.
Li Yuanmin smiled faintly, "I think you all know the news that His Majesty granted me the title of King of Guang'an and the fiefdom of Lingnan. Now that I'm in good health, I'm going to leave in the next day, so I've called you here tonight to hear from you. mean."
He looked at Dongyue first, "You don't have to say, you can go where you came from, is it possible?"
Dongyue's dull expression finally showed some movement. She naturally understood Li Yuanmin's meaning. Since the other party knew that she was the eyeliner planted in the palace by the Marquis of Zhenbei, if she was willing to connect with the high branch of the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion, she would naturally bring She left, but now, he obviously meant something else.
After thinking about it for two or three times, she bowed her head, "Your servant obeys."
After speaking, he retreated without waiting for Li Yuanmin to retreat. It is time to find a way to report.
Qiu Chan listened to the conversation between the two, and felt a little bit of confusion in her heart, so she didn't know the meaning of the conversation between the two, but now she didn't care, she was more concerned about the other pile.
Since she tried several times and found out that Doctor He had no intention of treating her, she was depressed all day long. She was exhausted by this ominous person a few days ago, but she didn't want fate to favor her once, thinking about yesterday Empress Sima expected her words, and her heart burst into joy.
Li Yuanmin interrupted her reverie:
"Qiu Chan, would you like to go to Lingnan with me?"
Qiu Chan suddenly raised her head, her eyes were troubled, she lowered her face again, finally made up her mind, and knelt down with a plop.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanmin nodded, as if he had already predicted her answer, and said lightly: "Lingnan is too far away, you don't want to go, I understand, I just ask you the last question, have you made a decision?"
Qiu Chan felt that there was something in his words, but she didn't think about it, she just gritted her teeth and said, "I have made up my mind, and I would like to stay in the palace to serve Your Majesty."
She paused, afraid that Li Yuanmin would take advantage of this to make trouble, and said: "It's the empress's intention."
Li Yuanmin smiled lightly, withdrew his hand, and shook his hem.
"I see, you go."
Qiu Chan didn't dare to delay, kowtowed her head and left in a hurry, as if she was afraid that others would cut her off.
Li Yuanmin heaved a long sigh.
I see.
Qiu Chan is beautiful and beautiful, and she must have fallen into the eyes of Empress Sima on the day when she was dragged to the imperial academy. Qiu Chan, after all, is still the same Qiu Chan in her previous life, she hasn't changed at all.
He planned to leave the capital with Qiu Chan, after all, he couldn't leave her to plot against He Yunyi, but now, she has chosen what she wanted, and became the concubine in the queen's palace. In this life, she will also There is no fate with He Yunyi.
Let her strike.
Leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the desolate courtyard, Li Yuanmin sighed softly again.
Zhihe, it has been a long time since I came.
He wants to meet this only true friend in his previous life before leaving. He has a long way to go, and he doesn't know the date of return, and he doesn't know when and where he can meet again.
It is inevitable that I feel a little bit disappointed.
Just before he thought of a way to avoid the eyes and ears, and sent the jade pendant to the pharmacy, He Yunyi came.
