After waiting for another half an hour, Li Yu finally appeared at the gate of the palace. Wu Yan rushed to meet him, but found that Li Yu was limping and couldn't even stand firmly. Wu Yan and Wu Ming helped Li Yu back to the bedroom.Except for Wu Yan, Li Yu told everyone to go back and rest.

"I thought you really couldn't come back." Wu Yan took a glass of water and handed it to Li Yu.

"Not only am I back this time, I won't have to go out for the next three months." Li Yu took the water and said with a smile.

I said with a puzzled expression.

"Father punished me for three months. I can finally rest." Li Yu felt that this punishment was simply a reward.

"So happy to be fined. Your leg?"

"It's just a little longer to kneel."

"Then it's not like you can't even walk."

"You try to kneel for two hours. Father asked me to kneel outside the hall to be called, but I have no choice but to call me in."

"Two hours? Why do you have to kneel for so long?."

"That's not bad. You should know that there are piles of impeachment papers from my father. Some say that I am arrogant, rude, and arbitrary, some say that I confuse the people and have ulterior motives, and some say that I accept bribes and commit crimes." , Abuse of power, self-importance, etc., anyway, you can say anything. I heard that Concubine Xian is very dissatisfied with me because of Deng Jiang's matter, and my father thinks that my merits and demerits are at most equal. In short, this trip I let my father down very much, so I fined my salary for half a year and confinement for three months to reflect on my mistakes in the mansion. All other follow-up matters have been handed over to King Anyang for handling."

"Forget it, anyway, you've expected this, it's not bad to take a break."

Li Yu was really tired after tossing around all day. He still hadn't taken off his regular clothes. He looked at Wu Yan, "I just want to sleep well now. But... maybe you need to change my clothes for me."

Hearing this "excessive" request, Wu Yan immediately stood up and refused, "I am your companion, not a servant. Let the maids do these things."

"But it's so late, why bother them."

"Then...you can do it yourself, why do you have to ask me to change your clothes?"

"My legs are inconvenient. I'm a man. Why bother? Besides, if you change my clothes, you have to take advantage of me." Li Yu showed an innocent expression towards Wu Yan.

Wu Yan glared at Li Yu, thinking that for the sake of his bad knees, I would just wait on him for a while.

Wu Yan stepped forward to undress Li Yu, and Li Yu felt Wu Yan groping back and forth around him.When the two were closest, Li Yu found that whenever Wu Yan was close to him, his heart would beat very irregularly. The dim candlelight enhanced the atmosphere, and an impulse arose in his heart. , but he had to use reason to suppress it.Wu Yan looped around Li Yu's waist and untied the leather belt, and got up again to untie the round collar robe. Li Yu didn't dare to look at Wu Yan again. He wanted to tell Wu Yan to stop because he was afraid he would lose control, But he didn't want him to stop, because to a certain extent...I really enjoyed it, and the contradictory emotions made him clenched his fists unconsciously.

Wu Yan didn't notice Li Yu's abnormality, but thought he was too tired.After working for a long time, I finally managed to take off the clothes.He wanted to put Li Yu on the bed, but when he turned around, Li Yu was already lying down and wrapped his whole body in the quilt.

"So, I'm going back to my room." Wu Yan greeted, and when Li Yu under the quilt hummed, Wu Yan blew out the candle.just went out.

Hearing that the door was closed, Li Yu lifted the quilt and gasped for breath.What's wrong with me?How could you feel this way about him?Usually, I don't feel anything when the maids change my clothes.It must be because he undressed me for the first time and I wasn't used to it.Or because the two of them were together almost every day during the time they went to the south, they had an illusion.No, no, I can't let this feeling go on, I always regard him as my younger brother, not to mention I'm already engaged.No, no, from now on, you can't look into his eyes, and you can't get too close to him, you must keep your distance, you must keep your distance.

The charcoal fire in the room was hissing, and Li Yu was tossing and turning on the bed.

When Wu Yan was still in Li Yu's room, Ling Lan came to Wu Yan's room to look for him, but Wu Yan was not there, Ling Lan had no choice but to return.When she first came to Xinyang Prince's Mansion, Ling Lan didn't know anyone except Wuyan, she felt helpless, and she was not sure what status she would be able to stay in the Prince's Mansion.

The next morning, Linglan came to Wuyan early again and told Wuyan that she still wanted to be his maid.I understand Ling Lan's situation and it is not good to refuse again, so I promised to report this matter to His Highness and let her wait for my news.

After breakfast, Wu Yan went to the study to look for Li Yu, but Li Yu wasn't there.I said that according to my understanding of Li Yu's habits since I came to the palace, I usually have nothing to do in my free time. Li Yu will be in the study in the morning. I don't know if something happened today.Since Li Yu is not here, let's go see Taier first.I met Wu Feng on the road, Wu Feng said that Li Yu was still in the bedroom, Wu Feng had already visited twice, but Li Yu didn't wake up.

Wu Yan felt a little strange, and worried whether Li Yu's knees would get worse or suffer from other diseases, so he decided to go and see for himself.

Wu Yan called His Highness three times at the door, but there was no response from the room. When Wu Yan said that he was going in, Li Yu finally stopped him.Wu Yan knew that Li Yu did not respond to me on purpose, and it was even more strange that Li Yu would not do this in the past.

"How's your knee?" Wu Yan asked through the door.

"It hurts, you go to Wu Feng and ask him to find a doctor. After that, you can go to study with Tai'er, you don't need to come over." Li Yu's voice came from the room, much colder than usual.

"Yes, I'll tell Wufeng right now." Wuyan felt inexplicable, maybe he didn't rest well last night, so he stopped thinking about it.

Watching the figure outside the door leave, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.Li Yu tossed and turned for a long time the night before, and he didn't know when he fell asleep, but the habit of getting up early made him wake up very early, and then remembered what happened before going to bed last night, and his thoughts fell into entanglement again.Wu Feng came twice with the maid who served the wash and he ignored it.When I said that he was going to come in, he sat up instinctively, a little flustered, because he still didn't know how to face it.After sitting up, I realized that my knees were swollen and painful, and I just used this reason to dismiss my words.

As a result, Wu Yan came back suddenly, startling Li Yu, but Wu Yan wisely didn't enter the room, and just talked outside the door.

"That... Ling Lan wants to continue to be my maid. Although I told her that I am not qualified to be served by a maid, she still insisted. See?" Because of Li Yu's indifference, my tone was a bit cautious .

"You figure it out." Li Yu blurted out without thinking, he just wants Wu Yan to leave quickly.

I said that when Li Yu agreed, I thanked him and left.

For the next few days, Li Yu rested in the bedroom on the grounds that his knee was injured.At first, Wu Yan often went to see Li Yu, but Li Yu wouldn't let him in.Later, Wu Yan found out that he was the only one who was forbidden to go in and see him, and everyone else could come in and out.

The winter solstice is approaching, and the Spring Festival will soon be ushered in. The whole capital is shrouded in a joyous atmosphere, and Xinyang Palace is no exception.Holidays always make children very excited. Wu Tai thinks about a lot of things he wants to eat, and of course there are sugar people, waiting to see Brother Yu so that he can buy them for himself.

But I haven't seen Brother Yu for many days. Wu Tai was very anxious, so he came here specially to ask Wu Yan to take him to Li Yu. Wu Yan found many excuses to fool him but failed.Wu Tai was clamoring to see Li Yu, but Wu Tai had no choice but to make an agreement with Wu Tai that he could only talk to Li Yu outside the door, and Wu Tai agreed.

The two brothers came to Li Yu's room, Wu Yan just wanted to explain to Li Yu that Tai'er missed him, so he brought Tai'er here, but saw Tai'er stepped forward, pushed the door open and rushed in. Leaving my words in a daze, this little brat didn't keep his word!

"Brother Yu~~" Wu Yan started looking for Li Yu as soon as he entered the room.

Standing by the window and distracted, Li Yu hurried back to the bed and sat down when he heard the door opening. It turned out that it was Taier, and he was relieved.

"Brother Yu, why don't you come to see Tai'er recently, Tai'er misses you so much." Tai'er said seriously with a small face raised.

"Tai'er is good, hey, don't move here!" Li Yu grabbed the little hand that was pressing on his knee, dragged Tai'er aside and hugged him to sit on the edge of the bed. "Brother Yu's knee is injured and he can't touch it. Has Tai'er studied hard recently?"

"Yes." Tai'er replied with a guilty conscience, rolling her small eyes, and quickly changed the subject, "Brother Yu, will the holiday be in two days?"

Li Yu knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard it, and replied with a smile, "Yes, what does Taier want?"

Tai'er thought for a while, pulled Li Yu down a little, and leaned into his ear and said, "I want a sugar man. But my second brother won't let me have it, so you have to keep it a secret."

Li Yu nodded after listening, "Don't worry, I won't tell your second brother."

"My second brother is right outside the door." Wu Tai whispered.

Li Yu didn't know that Wu Yan had also come, and it was just outside the door.After thinking about it, he shouted out the door, "Why don't you come in?"

After Wu Yan outside the door heard it, he replied cautiously, "I didn't come here to disturb His Highness on purpose, it was Tai'er who said he missed His Highness, and insisted that I bring him here."

Your Highness?He has never respected himself like others, is he sad?The cautiousness and honorific title of Wuyan both hurt Li Yu, whether he has gone too much recently.He is a reserved person, so his indifference will make him sad.What's more, it's not his fault, it's his own fault. "Come in, it's cold outside, don't freeze."

Wu Yan came in cautiously, carefully closed the door, but only stood near the door, and did not randomly find a place to sit down as usual.Wu Yan, who has repeatedly confirmed that he should have nothing to offend Li Yu, is not sure why Li Yu treats him so abnormally recently, but Li Yu's indifferent attitude has gradually begun to disintegrate the sense of security he once gained from Li Yu , He realized that the Xinyang Palace was still not his home, and he was still dependent on others. In his relationship with Li Yu, it was always Li Yu who had the upper hand.

Li Yu looked at Wu Yan so far away from him, with his head slightly lowered, and couldn't bear it.In the past few days, Li Yu has thought about the past with Wu Yan from the beginning to the end. He imprisoned himself and cut off contact with Wu Yan to test whether his inner feelings are impulsive or real, but the harder he thinks about , To seek proof, the more there is no answer, the more struggling it seems to be, the deeper it sinks.In the past few days when he isolated himself, he wanted to see Wuyan countless times, and suppressed his thoughts countless times, feeling that he was about to tear himself apart.Now, seeing Wu Yan standing in front of me, my heart is already boiling, but the surface is still calm.

"Is your Highness's knee better?" Wu Yan asked first.

"It's much better." Li Yu said lightly.

Wu Yan nodded, "That's good. If it's okay, I won't bother His Highness." Then he went to greet Tai'er to go.

"Let Taylor go first, you stay."

Li Yu's words made Wu Yan a little surprised, why did he stay behind, didn't Li Yu not want to see himself recently.

After sending Tai'er back to the room, Wu Yan returned to Li Yu's room, still standing far away, still lowering his head slightly.Is he going to explain to himself why he doesn't want to see me during this time?Or did something happen that I didn't understand?If he finds a reason to explain, should he believe him?

"Don't stand so far away, come closer." Li Yu felt very sad seeing Wu Yan standing so far away.

Wu Yan lowered his head and took a few steps forward, but it was still not the same distance as before. Li Yu was helpless, what could he do if he hurt someone.

"You...do you have someone you like?"

Li Yu asked suddenly, and Wu Yan was unprepared. "No."

"Do you understand what liking is? Have you ever been tempted by anyone?" Li Yu continued to ask.

"I don't know, and I have never been tempted by anyone." Wu Yan was inexplicably asked.

Hearing the answer to this question, Li Yu laughed at himself, knowing that it was his own wishful thinking.But now that he got such an answer, Li Yu had nothing to say. He was the only one who had the problem. How could he expect the other party to be as inexplicable as he was when he was in love with a man.Although there are occasional crazy thoughts, thinking that Ruo Wuyan also likes me, I don't care about it at all.But nowadays, this idea has been proved to be stupid, and I don't like myself.

"It will be New Year's Day in two days, and you and I will be one year older. When I was 13 years old, my father made a marriage agreement for me and Princess Qianyang of Qi Kingdom. At that time, Princess Qianyang was ten years old, and my father The emperor and the king of the Qi Kingdom agreed that when Princess Qianyang came of age, I would marry her. The national law of Qi State stipulates that women should perform the ceremony of becoming an adult at fifteen, which means that Princess Qianyang will become an adult this year, and I will marry her. But I... Li Yu paused, "But I found that I seem to like another person."

I don't know why Li Yu said this to himself. Is it because of this that he is so abnormal recently?He doesn't want to marry the princess, so it's hard?

"Your Highness can marry the person you like as a side concubine." Wu Yan calmly thought of a way for Li Yu. From Wu Yan's point of view, Li Yu's entanglement was nothing more than a molehill, and it was obviously easy to solve.

Li Yu was choked by my words, and sighed deeply, "Forget it, you never liked anyone, you don't understand at all."

I am speechless and silent, he really still doesn't understand.
