The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Bai Yu stood up all of a sudden, and asked, "What happened next?"

Yuchi Yuanhe sighed, and said dejectedly: "Your Highness must be uncomfortable hearing about this—he's mentally abnormal. For some reason, he regards himself as His Highness, and he refuses to take off that human leather mask after he puts it on. When the last general arrived in Liangzhou, he was assigned to build the city wall. One day he suddenly appeared and came to visit. At that time, the last general was frightened and thought he was really His Highness. It was only later when we chatted that I discovered...how did he become like this. "

"Where is he now?"

Yuchi Yuanhe shook his head, "The general doesn't know. The general had no personal freedom at that time. Every time he came, the general could see him and asked him where he was staying. He said that of course he lived in the palace. The general returned to Beijing. After that, I never saw him again."

"Then he must be near Liangzhou!" Bai Yu murmured excitedly, pacing on the same spot, "Going there to visit the troops will cost a lot of money for a single check. In his situation, the money must not be earned by himself." Yes. He should live in Liangzhou, Liangzhou..."

Bai Yu calmed down and thought carefully.Liangzhou is close to Weiyan. Could it be that Ye Zhiyan got help from his grandfather's family or his father's family?Although Ye Zhiyan has been away from home for many years, has sold art and been a male favorite, most of the family will think he is ashamed.But no matter what, they are still relatives. Ye Zhiyan has reached this point, and they should not be cruel enough to let him fend for himself.

"I have to find him, I must find him!"

Yuchi Yuanhe said: "Your Highness, when the General went to Liangzhou to quell the chaos, he visited the last general. He may have heard that 'His Royal Highness' had visited many times there, so he misunderstood. This cannot be blamed on the General. , no one will feel uncomfortable after hearing this. Otherwise, the general will go and tell the general what happened, so that His Royal Highness and the general can settle their suspicions."

Bai Yu just gave a faint "Oh" and said, "No need, what he thinks has nothing to do with me."

Yuchi Yuanhe raised his eyes to look at Bai Yu, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Bai Yu quickly dispatched people to Liangzhou to look for Ye Zhiyan, and on the way, he had to go to Weiyan to ask about his maternal ancestor's house and Ye Zhiyan's father's house.

During such an anxious wait, an unexpected guest arrived at the palace.

That day was the same as usual, Baiyu went back to the mansion after the court, and the days of two o'clock and one line were repeated, but he didn't find it boring.Occasionally, when I had free time, I would look at the bamboo in front of the court and the strange flowers outside the curtain, and recite poems on them with King Dingshun, exhibit the smoke scene in the south of the Yangtze River, and burn incense and sandalwood.Every day's life is peaceful and comfortable, better than all the exciting bloody storms in the past.

"I heard that the general has not been in court for several times?" King Dingshun said suddenly.

"Well, they said they were sick." Bai Yu said, "Everyone gets sick."

"I hope the general gets better soon."

"Yes."

This is the end of the topic about Yan Xun.

After a while, Qiu Ye came over with a strange expression on his face.

"What?" Bai Yu asked him.

"Your Highness, um...a guest is here to visit."

"Who is it? Why this expression? Could it be a matchmaker?" Bai Yu joked casually.

Qiu Ye stammered, "It's... Wu, King Wu'an."

Bai Yu and King Dingshun were taken aback at the same time, and their expressions became strange.It is indeed rarer than a matchmaker for Yan Jun to visit Liang Wangfu.

"Can he say something?"

Qiu Ye shook his head, "No, he just said he wanted to see His Highness."

King Dingshun said, "Then I'll go back first."

Bai Yu sent him to the door, just in time to welcome Yan Jun in.

"What wind brought you here, my lord?" Bai Yu said with a smile, "Please come in quickly."

Yan Jun did not enter the door, compared to the indifference and even disgust he had shown towards Bai Yu from the front, his current appearance seemed a bit submissive.

"I don't know if Your Highness is free now? If so, I would like to ask Your Highness to follow me to a place."

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord may not know yet, but General Yan and I have already..."

"I know, of course I know." Yan Jun nodded again and again, "Your Highness, for the sake of those old friendships, agree to my ruthless invitation."

Bai Yu, however, was not only affectionate, but also really curious, so after thinking about it, he decided to go with him.

Yan Jun took him to the Yan family's ancestral grave.

Bai Yu got out of the carriage in a daze, walked up to Yan Jun, "My lord, this is..."

Yan Jun brought paper money as an offering, and he said, "Can your Highness wait a moment?"

Bai Yu nodded, watching silently as he knelt there and burned incense to worship his ancestors.

Yan Jun burned the last stack of paper money, and stretched out his hand to gently wipe the tombstone in front of him.

A few days ago, he also went to another person's tomb, which was the tomb built for Tang Jinzhi after Yan Zun regained his sanity.He still remembered that night the moonlight poured down like blue smoke, onto the white tombstones, and onto the trees stretched out like ghostly arms, everything seemed to be alive, and the surrounding atmosphere was extremely dark, Extra thick, extraordinarily.gloomy.

"Did the people who built the tomb come?" he asked.

The gravekeeper next to him nodded, "I've been here four times."

Yan Jun asked again: "How did he feel when he came?"

The gravekeeper replied: "I have been sitting here for several hours, crying very sadly."

Yan Jun stared blankly at the tombstone with empty eyes.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Why did your lord bring me here?" Bai Yu asked.

Yan Jun stood up, turned to Bai Yu and said, "I once told His Highness that most of the people buried in the Yan family's ancestral grave did not live past the age of 40."

"En." Bai Yu nodded.

"Some of them died in battle, and some died of illness."

Bai Yu nodded again.

"This disease is terrible. It can make people tremble in pain, vomit in pain, and die in pain."

"What exactly does the lord want to say?"

Yan Jun rubbed his face, finally showing a little pain and exhaustion.He said, "Xun'er is sick."

To Yan Jun's surprise, Bai Yu didn't react too much, he just shook slightly, and then said: "No wonder he hasn't gone to court for several days."

Yan Jun tentatively put forward his own request, "Today, Imperial Physician Lin is going to cut Xun'er's abdomen to get rid of the carbuncle. Can Your Highness accompany...to see him?"

Bai Yu didn't answer directly, but asked him, "My lord has always disliked me, and I wish I could stay as far away from General Yan as possible. Why did you take the initiative to come to me today?"

"Because I'm selfish." Yan Jun said, "In the past, I didn't like Your Highness because I didn't want Xun'er to die. Now I come to beg Your Highness because I don't want Xun'er to die with regret. I already have a son who has missed his life."

Bai Yu was silent for a long time, so long that the legs of both of them were numb.Finally he shook his head and said, "It is enough for the general to have relatives by his side, I... will not go. I hope the general will recover soon."

After he finished speaking, he quickly got into the carriage and decided to leave.

Sitting in the carriage, he heard Yan Jun's voice coming from behind him.

"This may be the last time. Is Your Highness really unwilling to go?"

After preparing all the equipment and medicines, Imperial Physician Lin checked Yan Xun's body for the last time, and said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous, General, you won't know anything after drinking Mafeisan, and you will still be a healthy general after waking up." .”

Yan Xun smiled silently, and said: "Doctor Lin doesn't need to coax me, I'm not Yan Yue."

"It's not to coax the general, you must relax, so that it will help your body."

"I know." Yan Xun looked at the ceiling of the curtain, his eyes were as calm as deep water, "I'm not afraid of death. What I have had in this life is enough."

Princess Chunyi and Yan Zun stayed outside.Doctor Lin must be absolutely quiet so that he can concentrate.When Yan Jun came back, the two of them looked behind him at the same time, but they didn't see the person they were looking forward to.

"Father, King Liang...isn't he here?" Yan Zun asked.

Yan Jun shook his head feebly.

The operation is not the most dangerous step. According to Dr. Lin, success is guaranteed.What matters is the very likely infection that will follow, and that's the real worry.For nearly 200 years, the ancestors of the Lin family have studied it to overcome this problem.

After Imperial Physician Lin left the General's Mansion, he went straight to the palace to face the saint, and told the truth about everything that happened.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair for a long time, Fang frowned and said, "So Yan Xun treats Li Guang like that these days because of this?"

"Yes."

"Then..." The emperor opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"I'm going to see him." After a while, the emperor got up and called Zhang Lan, "Go to Liang Wang's mansion and call Shang Liang Wang, and go with me."

When Bai Yu got off the carriage, Qiu Ye was waiting at the gate. He didn't take anyone else with him, but followed Yan Jun.He thought he looked calm, but when Qiu Ye saw him, he asked in surprise, "Why does Your Highness look so bad?"

Bai Yu touched his face, but felt nothing.He walked in without saying a word, and Qiu Ye followed him, frowning deeper and deeper.

Bai Yu was going around in circles in the palace, but he didn't seem to notice it himself.

After walking for a long time, Bai Yu finally stopped, turned around and asked him in a daze, "I want to go back to the house, how do I get there?"

Qiu Ye didn't ask a word, and took Bai Yu back to his room.He just pushed open the door when Bai Yu suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Your Highness—!"

It was already dark when Zhang Lan came to look for Baiyu. Not long after Baiyu woke up, she was still sitting on the bed in her pajamas and eating porridge.

Zhang Lanchuan's words are imperial decrees, and Bai Yu must go.He got out of bed and changed his clothes in silence, went out and got into the carriage, and drove towards the general's mansion.

The emperor arrived sooner than he did.Sheng Jia was here, and the Imperial Forest Army was under martial law everywhere. Except for Yan Xun, everyone in the general's mansion knelt on the spot and there was no sound.

"... I will find you the best medicine in the world, even if I have to pour out the entire treasury, I will not frown. You can't let me down."

He heard the emperor say this when he went in.

Yan Xun had already woken up, his face was a little pale, but he didn't look as fragile and pitiful as Bai Yu imagined.It seemed that he just had an ordinary cold, and he would be fine after taking the medicine and sleeping.

When Yan Xun heard the movement, his eyes fell on Bai Yu.
