bamboo horse prince

Spring comes late in the north.

Li Sheng was wearing thick winter clothes, carrying a brazier, said hello to the guard standing at the door, opened the tent, and walked in.He didn't even look at Yang Nian who was curled up on the bed, but kept stirring the charcoal fire to make it burn hotter.

Yang Nian only leaked a head from the quilt, his eyes were half-closed, and he couldn't tell if he was asleep or awake. He has been half dead for more than a month. Ever since he learned of Yang Shao's death, he has been so awake. Cry after crying, sleep after crying tired.

Li Sheng pushed the brazier to the side of Yang Nian's bed, then stretched out a hand into Yang Nian's bed, groping for the hand warmer in Yang Nian's hand.As soon as he touched it, he felt Yang Nian's hand firmly grasping his own, "My sister, are you writing a letter?"

Li Sheng squatted down holding his hand, and said seriously, "I came this morning, but I will hand it over to you after you have eaten."

"I don't want to eat," Yang Nian said in a weak voice, "Give me the letter."

"How can you humiliate yourself!" Seeing him like this, Li Sheng felt distressed and angry, but he didn't dare to irritate Yang Nian again by saying harsh words.

Yang Nian had long been used to Li Sheng's innocuous words, so he still closed his eyes and said indifferently, "Give me the letter."

"Yang Nian!" Li Sheng was in a hurry, and pulled off the quilt wrapped around Yang Nian, "You can't continue to give up on yourself like this, master is under the underworld, under the underworld..."

Yang Nian was wearing unlined clothes, his whole body curled up into a ball, his face was buried in his knees, he was shivering from the cold but he didn't resist, and tears flowed down his face disobediently.

He calculated Li Sheng's unbearable heart.

Sure enough, Li Sheng rolled the quilt around Yang Nian's body again, and hugged Yang Nian through the quilt, "Nian'er, I beg you, don't torture yourself, and don't torture me either." Li Sheng knew clearly in his heart, Yang Nian hated him.I noticed Yang Shao's thoughts of committing suicide early on, but I didn't tell Yang Nian because of Yang Shao's painstaking efforts...

Yang Nian just looked numbly at the increasingly haggard Li Sheng, "Give me the letter."

Li Sheng had no choice but to take out the letter from his pocket and hand it to Yang Nian.

As soon as Yang Nian saw the letter, he finally felt refreshed. He quickly opened the envelope and read it at a very fast speed. As if he couldn't believe it, he went back to the beginning and read it again.

Li Sheng noticed something strange in him, so he asked, "What did the letter say?"

Yang Nian put Xinping on his chest and said nothing.

Li Sheng knew that this was an order to evict guests, so he didn't ask any more, took the hand warmer, and was about to leave. At the end, he said, "I'll bring you some food later, at least you can eat."

Li Sheng was opening the tent door, when he suddenly heard Yang Nian say something, he didn't listen carefully, and put down the curtain, "What did you just say?"

"Are you trying to usurp the throne?" Yang Nian repeated.

"Are you confused? How can you say such things casually?"

"I know that there are your spies in the palace, and there are forces you have planted in the court. I know all about it." Yang Nian sat up from the couch, "The concubine Zhen gave birth to a dragon son, and someone wants to assassinate the little prince and frame him again." My sister, it was your people who helped her, right?"

"I just don't want to make sister Feng'er's life too difficult. Many people will arrange people in the palace just to make things easier."

"You are not, your people are to find out the truth about the death of the former empress back then. You also checked the old eunuch. You want to know whether he went to my father because of the matter of establishing the crown prince."

"Nian'er," Li Sheng knelt in front of Yang Nian, "If it's because I checked that person, I, I don't have any excuse."

"I don't hate you," Yang Nian couldn't help wiping the tears on Li Sheng's face, "I always knew that you had that kind of thought. If it were me, I would also want to get back my own things. Neither would my father. There are too many suspicious points in the case, someone deliberately wanted to kill him, but the real culprit..."

"What did Sister Feng'er say in her letter?"

Yang Nian pressed the letter to his chest, "She can't say too clearly, after all, our communication may be monitored by the queen mother and the emperor, but I can already guess about this matter in my heart, I need you Secret agent of the palace, give her my letter in secret."

Li Sheng lowered his eyes and thought.

"I'm only investigating why my father died, and it won't involve you. Besides, I have seen through the emperor's brother-in-law, and I don't have any gratitude. If you really want something, I will only support you."

"It's not that I don't believe you. I'm just worried that you will get involved in my affairs. If something goes wrong, I don't want to involve you."

Yang Nian looked at Li Sheng quietly, as if there were endless words in his eyes, he knew what Li Sheng meant, but he also wanted Li Sheng to understand what he meant.

And Li Sheng understood, "Just write the letter and give it to me, and I'll send it to the palace for you."

"Then help me bring in the food, I'm a little hungry." Yang Nian rubbed his stomach.

"it is good!"

Li Sheng asked someone to make a single serving of porridge, served it with some pickles, and brought it into Yang Nian's tent. Seeing that Yang Nian had dressed and sat down at the table and began to spread paper, he put down the food, "You finish eating first and then eat." Let's write."

"Okay, I'll write while eating."

Li Sheng smiled, and when Yang Nian picked up his pen, he was ready to go out.

"Don't go," Yang Nian pressed Li Sheng's hand and let him sit opposite him, "Stay with me."

Li Sheng's heart softened immediately, "Okay, I'll grind the ink for you, you eat first."

Yang Nian scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it into his mouth. He raised his eyes and took a peek at Li Sheng, only to find that the other party was staring at him, and he choked when he was startled.

Li Sheng complained about his carelessness, and walked to him to pat him on the back, "No matter how hungry you are, eat slowly. When you are depressed, you have a cold face. Why do you turn back to a child when you feel better?"

Yang Nian wanted to scold him, but coughed non-stop.

Li Sheng helped Yang Nian seal the envelope, "The fastest horse can reach the capital in just six days."

"No hurry, I can't go back now, many things can just be discussed in the long run."

Li Sheng took the letter, walked to the door, turned his back to Yang Nian, and said, "Nian'er, I know how you feel now, I used to be like this too, don't give up your hatred, sometimes he can make you persevere Only courage."

"Is hatred the only thing keeping you going?"

Li Sheng didn't speak anymore, turned around and looked into Yang Nian's eyes, "Go to sleep."
