ugly queen

Back in the mansion, Murong Yan looked at the small porcelain vase on the table, his eyes were dazed, and he asked Xiong Xin, "Xiong Xin, how long have you been with Second Uncle?"

"Young master, it has been ten years since I was ten years old." Xiong Xin had met Murong Yifan before, and in his memory, Murong Yifan always refused people thousands of miles away and didn't like to get close to others.

The number of times Xiong Xin met him was about the same as the number of times Murong Yan saw him. Murong Yifan was not close to the son since he was a child, and everyone in the palace knew it. Even people who entered the mansion later thought that Murong Yan was Murong Xing's son.

"My lord, the master must have his own reasons, I don't think he did this to you on purpose." Xiong Xin saw that Murong Yan was in a daze, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"For so many years, why doesn't daddy know me about me?" Murong Yan showed a sneering smile, he didn't know whether he was mocking himself or someone else, "I'm used to it already." He said in an extremely low voice.

......

On the other side, Zhang Yan found the sullen Huo Quan. Huo Quan glanced at him, picked up a wine jar from a pile of wine jars nearby, and threw it at him without looking back.

Zhang Yan received it accurately, opened the wine jar and drank it with his head up. He wiped the liquid overflowing from his mouth with his long sleeves.

"You've got it." Huo Quan took a sip and looked at him blankly.

Zhang Yan unceremoniously sat down beside him, touched his shoulder, and said, "Brother."

Huo Quan didn't say a word.

"The Yan army marches northward, and Cheng Lun is inevitable. I don't want you to make it difficult." Zhang Yan turned his head and looked at him.

Huo Quan's shoulders drooped, his hands rested on his knees, and he looked ahead for a long time before he said leisurely, "Zhang Yan, don't make enemies with Cheng Lun, just for my sake, can't you?"

After speaking, he turned his head, looked at Zhang Yan's face, looked into his eyes, and waited for his affirmative answer.

Looking at him for a while, Zhang Yan turned his eyes away and said, "I will never promise anything I can't do." Then, he suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't this not enough? What if I lose? If I lose, will your brother let me go?"

This time it was Huo Quan's turn to be speechless, he looked away and said, "Xing Lun is safe and sound, why do you insist on breaking this tranquility?"

"The Central Plains is already in flames of war, there are constant chaos everywhere, and the people are displaced. Zhang Yan, have you ever thought that if you take the initiative to launch a war against foreigners, there will be no peaceful land in the world. You will become the chief culprit, that hateful Intruder."

Huo Quan spoke impassionedly, one was his righteous brother, the other was his own brother, and Cheng Lun was his homeland, and he didn't want to see his homeland raging with flames of war during his lifetime.

"Is the foreign clan calm?" Zhang Yan looked at him. "Three years ago, Pingxi marched into Tongjing. If the king of Tongjing didn't surrender, the king of Pingxi slaughtered the city. The city of Tongjing king is still full of resentment. Occupation, nine cities in the north, two cities have been invaded; two years ago, the Fu family of Tong'an raised troops to occupy Mamou, and Tongjing and Tong'an confronted each other. It is agreed that there will be no troops within five years."

"However, you Cheng Lun took this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Tong'an. Thanks to the bravery of King Yiyang, Tong'an City was saved, but your Cheng Lun troops were exhausted and could not retreat. Huo Quan, foreigners have always Haven't been safe."

With a serious face, Zhang Yan spoke seriously to him, but Huo Quan was speechless, and he murmured, "I only ask you, no matter who wins between you and my brother, don't do it too badly."

"I won't." Zhang Yan promised.

Huo Quan can still trust Zhang Yan's guarantee, among other things, it is Zhang Yan's characteristic to keep his promises, and he will never break his word no matter what he promises.

"Spend more time with Yanyan during this time, he is about to give birth."

Huo Quan's eyes widened, but he still couldn't believe it. He said that there was something wrong with such a big belly. However, his sister-in-law was about to give birth to a baby. Thinking about it, he felt very nervous.

"Then what should I do? Do I need to prepare anything? It's the first time I've encountered such a thing. I don't know." Huo Quan looked at him nervously and asked.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Yan felt something wrong no matter what he thought, so he slapped him and shouted, "It's none of your business, that's my daughter-in-law and my son, I want you to understand?"

As he spoke, he stood up, patted his buttocks, and said, "Okay, I'll go find Yanyan, and you drink alone?"

Huo Quan hurriedly stood up with him, coughed a few times, his face turned pale slightly, he smiled heartlessly, and said, "I'll go with you to see my sister-in-law."

Zhang Yan grinned, and the two walked side by side. During this period, Huo Quan always coughed uncontrollably. Zhang Yan asked worriedly, "Are you okay? I have never coughed so badly before."

Huo Quan used to cough occasionally, but he didn't cough like he was coughing up his lungs like now.

He waved his hands weakly and said, "It's okay, it's just a little typhoid fever, it's not a big deal."

Zhang Yan was still worried, "I'll ask Yanyan to show you later."

Huo Quan quickly refused, "No, I'm really fine. By the way, brother, you haven't told me why you must fight?"

"This," Zhang Yan sighed, "The Zhang family's loyalty and goodness have ended up in such a field. I don't want the Zhang family to be defeated by me, and I don't want to fight. The situation forces it. If you don't do it, someone will. Me, I just hope I can reduce unnecessary damage."

Huo Quan looked at him, nodded, and said, "I see, brother, I really hope that I will always follow you and do my part for you."

"What nonsense are you kidding?" Zhang Yan pushed him, "Didn't you follow me all the time, get Jiunan, we have our own foundation, you don't know how much work you have done for so many years."

"Huo Quan, do you blame me for weakening your position like this? To be honest." Huo Quan has been with him for so many years, and because of this relationship, Zhang Yan will inevitably feel a little bit sorry that he will have no real power.

Huo Quan shrugged indifferently, "You can't help but say that you want to get rid of me. Of course I feel uncomfortable, but forget it, I understand who calls you my big brother."

There was a rush of heat in Zhang Yan's heart, and he suddenly grabbed his neck and said, "Good brother."

Well, a good brother for life.In the previous life, his good brother died early because of him. In this life, he is still alive and kicking, and he still treats himself so sincerely. Zhang Yan feels that he is really worth it.

He still didn't ask the question buried in his heart in the end, he believed in Huo Quan, this good brother who had been following him all along.

When the two returned to the mansion, someone told Zhang Yan that Murong Yan had returned. Zhang Yanfei also ran to find Murong Yan, excited like a child. Huo Quan looked at his running back and smiled. It's great that Yan can find his beloved.

I don't know if it's because the cold wind is too cold, he smiled and laughed, and suddenly coughed, as if someone was squeezing his chest, he leaned weakly against the big pillar behind him, and took away the palm covering his mouth, his palm was full of fishy smell. red.

Zhang Yan found Murong Yan in the room. Murong Yan was in a daze. He quietly walked over to scare him, but as soon as he came in, Murong Yan looked up at him as if he could sense him, "Are you back?"

Zhang Yan took off his cloak, walked over, looked at his expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Murong Yan was holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Zhang Yan followed his gaze and asked, "What is this?"

"Daddy gave it to me." Murong Yan said lightly.

"Daddy is here?" Zhang Yan said loudly.

Murong Yan glanced at him and said, "He's gone."

Zhang Yan was anxious now, so she sat down quickly, looked at his face, and asked, "Yanyan, does it mean that Daddy doesn't like me?" So he didn't let him see him.

Murong Yan shook his head, he told Zhang Yan's father that he loved him and was a kind person, so he would not tell Zhang Yan that his father didn't really like him, but he didn't like himself.

There was a forced smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's nothing."

"Then what's the matter?" Zhang Yan looked at him nervously, "It was fine when I went out, why is it wrong when I come back?"

Murong Yan put his eyes on his face, stared at him quietly for a long time, and said, "Zhang Yan, I want to go back to Tong'an, you can go with me, okay?"

Zhang Yan stared at him without saying a word, Murong Yan looked straight at him, waiting for his answer.

"Sure, I'll go wherever you go." Zhang Yan said logically, without even asking anything, "When are you leaving?"

"Aren't you going to ask what's the matter?" Murong Yan was speechless.

Zhang Yan said, "Follow Madam, no regrets."

Murong Yan was completely speechless.
