Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Hearing Li You begging to see him, Du Yan was also puzzled.

"Why is this little prince looking for me? Didn't I hear that he was in Hexi a few days ago?"

"Although the old man was angry and said some cruel words before, I didn't do anything!"

After thinking about it for a while, Du Yan finally decided to stay behind closed doors.

Anyway, he was sick at home these days, so he could use this reason to reject Li You.

But he didn't expect that just after the servant said that he was sick, he was told that Li You had come to express his condolences under His Majesty's order.

This time, Du Yan was shocked again.

Although he was seriously ill in the past two days, he has recovered a lot in the past two days.

And the reason why I didn't go to court was because it was too cold.

In fact, not only Du Yan, more than half of the ministers who said they were sick these days were like this.

On a snowy day, what could be more comfortable than a warm quilt.

Du Yan hurriedly asked his servants to take Li You for a long way around the mansion, while he quickly lay down on the bed.

When Li You appeared in front of Du Yan, Du Yan had already put on a haggard look.

"Thank you, Du Yan, for your majesty's concern. I am inconvenient. I ask the King of Chu to forgive me!"

Seeing Li You, Du Yan didn't even think about saluting, instead he just lay down on the bed and couldn't get up after making the preparations.

From Du Yan's point of view, Li You just came here on orders, and the two of them just went through the motions.

However, with just this short sentence, Li You judged that Du Yan might be ill, but it was not serious.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Du Yan's words, but that Li You accidentally saw Du Yan's shoes when he entered the door, and they were scattered in front of the bed.

At first, Li You didn't feel anything.

But when Du Yan said that it was inconvenient for him to move, Li You sneered in his heart.

【Why is the Du family a wealthy family? If you can't get out of bed, your shoes must have been put neatly by the servants. How could you put them in such a mess. 】

【I see that you went to bed in a hurry and didn't forget to put your shoes away. 】

[How can a person who can’t even get out of bed still walk around in shoes! 】

【Who are you fooling? 】

However, Li You didn't expose him immediately.

Li You came here today to take this opportunity to finalize the deal with the Chengnan Practice Workshop.

Seeing that Du Yan was not about to get up, Li You didn't care, instead he moved a chair with a smile and sat on the side of the bed.

"Du Shangshu, I came here to give Du Shangshu a condolence item at the emperor's order. Get up and try on the clothes His Majesty gave you."

As he spoke, Li You took out a cotton coat and put it beside Du Yan's bed.

"Du Shangshu, this is not a place to talk. After Du Shangshu has changed his clothes, let's talk outside. I will go outside and wait for you first."

After finishing speaking, Li You walked out without waiting for Du Yan's reaction.

In fact, it is not impossible to talk about Li You's affairs here.

It's just that he is not used to talking with people in bed, and he is still a man over fifty years old.

In another room, Li You didn't stay idle, and immediately asked his servants to light up the stove.

When the servants of Du's family saw someone lighting a fire in the house, they were about to stop them, but they were abruptly stopped by several magic guards.

"What are you going to do? Even if you are sent by the emperor, you can't directly set fire to our house!"

"Is there any king's law!"

Although the servants were stopped by Shence Guard, they were still chattering endlessly.

"Noisy! Make them quiet!"

Li You became a little impatient, and said.

Hearing these words, several shence guards were ready to attack immediately, and the servants were so frightened that they quickly shut their mouths.

Seeing that the servant stopped talking, Li You continued to smile and said, "That's right."

"This king kindly helped you light a stove to warm up, but you dare to stop it!"

"Now that the weather is so cold, bringing me to this room without a brazier, is this the way the Du family treats guests!"

"Besides, this king is here to express condolences on behalf of his father. If you don't give face to this king, you don't give face to your majesty."

The more Li You spoke, the more serious he was, until the sweat broke out on the faces of several of them.

Immediately, the servants couldn't bear it any longer, and fell to their knees one after another, and then there was another wailing sound.

However, before begging for mercy, Li You's icy eyes made them fall silent again, and they just prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Li You was about to teach him a few more words when he heard a voice outside the door, and then Du Yan walked in with the help of a maid.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Yan's face collapsed when he saw the servant kneeling on the ground.

"Prince Chu, you are really majestic!"

Du Yan said strangely.

However, Li You didn't care at all. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Du Shangshu is wearing the cotton padded coat bestowed by His Majesty? How is it? Is it warm?"

At this time, no matter what Li You asked, Du Yan would definitely not give him a good face, but Du Yan really liked this cotton coat.

The reason is simple, comfortable and warm, but also very light.

This means that Du Yan has never worn a down jacket, and a cotton jacket is already regarded as a treasure.

Du Yan stroked the clothes and said, "Please thank Your Majesty on behalf of the old officials after the King of Chu returns. The clothes are very effective in keeping out the cold and are very light. I really want to thank Your Majesty for your concern."

"Put on this padded coat, the veteran feels that his condition has improved a lot, and he will be able to return to the court in a few days."

As soon as Li You left just now, Du Yan felt bad. In all likelihood, Li You noticed his pretending to be sick.

To put it mildly, this matter is nothing more than laziness, and it is enough to be reprimanded by Li Shimin.

But if Li You talked nonsense with embellishments, he might be charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Hmph, I've already learned this trick at a young age, it's a big deal when I grow up!"

Thinking of this, Du Yan said fiercely.

In his opinion, it was not a good thing that Li You didn't directly expose himself just now.

Li You was going to talk to himself next, and obviously he was not going to let this matter go.

It is natural to imagine what the content of the discussion is.

But this matter was caused by Du Yan pretending to be sick first, so even though he was angry, he could only dress up and come here.

Although he had been advising himself not to be like a child, Du Yan couldn't help but speak out when he saw the servants kneeling all over the room.

Knowing that there was something wrong with that sentence, so when Li You asked about the cotton-padded clothes, Du Yan thanked him very sincerely.

Hearing Du Yan's thanks, Li You smiled slightly and said, "As long as Du Shangshu likes it, His Majesty heard that you were ill, but he was very worried about you."

"After thinking about it, Your Majesty is determined that Du Shangshu's illness must be caused by severe cold."

"So I specially asked this king to present Du Shangshu with a good product to keep out the cold."

"This cotton coat is already worn by Duchamp, and the other one is already installed in this room by me."

"Just now, my king was installing the imperial gift, and your servants wanted to stop it, so I had to let my servants do it."

"Please don't mind Du Shangshu!"

Hearing this, even if Du Yan was very angry, he could only endure it.

When the servants did it just now, it was also despising the imperial power at the most extreme level. Li You took the imperial gift, even if he killed them, Du Yan didn't dare to say anything.

Du Yan forced himself to calm down and asked, "King Chu, where is this other good item to keep out the cold?"
