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

The emperor also turned his head and waved at him, "What are you doing standing there?"

Bai Yu reluctantly walked over and stood beside the emperor, quietly lowering her eyes.

"You should tell me about this early in the morning, so that I can let you rest more." The emperor then said to Yan Xun.

"I don't want the emperor to worry. It's not a rare thing. It happened to the ancestors of the Yan family many times." Yan Xun's voice was a little hoarse.

"That can't be hidden from me!" The emperor patted his hand, "There is also King Liang."

Bai Yu said from the side: "The general has no obligation to tell his younger brother."

The emperor choked for a moment, and turned his head to look at him helplessly.

"Thank you Your Highness for coming to visit." Yan Xun said.

Bai Yu's smile was impeccable, "Brother Huang is here, I will naturally come. General must take good care of your body, Brother Huang is still waiting for you to return to the court."

Yan Xun also maintained a faint smile, calm and unfamiliar.

The emperor said: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace first, you should rest well."

His original intention was to leave these two alone, but as soon as he got up together, Bai Yu immediately followed.

"Aren't you going to stay longer?" the emperor asked him in a low voice as he walked.

Bai Yu only had four words, "My brother is sleepy."

The emperor sighed, "If..."

He didn't say any more.

When going out, Yan Jun, Princess Chunyi and Yan Zun all knelt and waited outside, the emperor said a few words to them and then went out and got into the sedan chair.Bai Yu and Yan Jun and Yan Zun didn't have much to say, but facing Princess Chunyi, he rarely showed a sad expression.

He had no mother since he was a child, and Princess Chunyi made him understand what maternal love is, and let him experience this maternal love.He could even accept being separated from Yan Xun, but he was really reluctant to part with Princess Chunyi.She might not like herself anymore, this possibility made Bai Yu a little sad.

However, what he couldn't ignore was that Princess Chunyi treated him well precisely because of Yan Xun.

Princess Chunyi seemed to know what he was thinking, and said softly to him: "Your Highness, don't worry."

These simple six words kept Bai Yu awake all night.

That time, the discussion between him and Yan Xun about "death in battle" ended hastily with his "sacrifice for love". Yan Xun never mentioned this matter again.

Yan Xun is ten years older than him, and he is a general, so it would be a lie to say that he has no worries about this at all.Bai Yu's "sacrifice for love" was not a joke. Later, he specially prepared a dagger and put it on the bookshelf.Then it was taken into the warehouse.

If Yan Xun is really...

Bai Yu touched the lock on the warehouse door, but in the end he didn't let the servants get the key.

In the next few days, the emperor left the imperial court, anxiously waiting for the daily report of Imperial Physician Lin.When Bai Yu entered the palace, he found that the emperor's face was pale. Zhang Lan also said that the emperor couldn't eat and sleep all day, so he asked Liang Wang to persuade him.

Bai Yu looked at himself in the mirror, but didn't see any changes.

"You are really ungrateful." He said softly.

"Go and see for me, Li Guang." The emperor said, "Physician Lin said that his condition is not very good."

Bai Yu was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

The emperor frowned, and his voice sank, "What if I order you to go?"

Bai Yu turned around and knelt down, "That minister can only risk his life to resist the order."

The emperor took a deep breath, a little angry and a little disappointed, "Yan Xun is like this, even if it's just a relationship between fellow ministers, you should go and see."

Bai Yu lowered his head and said: "If the general is well, the younger brother will naturally go to congratulate him. But it's useless for the younger brother to go now, it's better to let the general rest in peace."

"Excuse!" the emperor reprimanded, "It's a hundred times better for you to know that you are by his side than resting in peace."

Bai Yu stopped talking, like a little hedgehog balled up, standing up all the thorns all over his body to resist.

The emperor closed his eyes and pinched his brows, waved his hands and said, "Go back."

When he went out, Imperial Physician Lin just came, Bai Yu stood at the door for a while, and heard Imperial Physician Lin say inside: "The general can only drink rice soup now, he can eat chyme in twenty days, and he can eat normally in a hundred days... ..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu left quietly.

These days, it seems that all government affairs in the whole country have been sidelined, only Yan Xun's daily physical condition is left to worry about, and Bai Yu is the only one who is still living his life behind closed doors.Even Yuchi Yuanhe was a little strange. When he came to visit the palace today, when talking about Yan Xun, Bai Yu just said, "He will be fine."

He seemed to have the confidence of a prophet about Yan Xun's illness, Yuchi Yuanhe didn't say any more, but instead said: "The last general still wants to ask, His Highness sent someone to look for Zhiyan for so long, is there any news?"

Bai Yudao: "The news from Liangzhou is that they are still looking for it. I also ordered people to go to Weiyan to inquire about my maternal ancestor's house and Zhiyan's father's house. They told me that they did have people and money to take care of them. I passed him, but since you returned to Beijing after serving your sentence, Zhiyan suddenly disappeared. They thought that Zhiyan followed you to Shangjing, so they didn't care about it anymore."

"It's impossible." Yuchi Yuanhe said, "He doesn't know that the end will return to Beijing. The end is not sure what the situation will be when he returns, thinking that if he still has an official position, he will be picked up; if not, The end will return to Liangzhou to live an ordinary life with him. So the end just told him that he was going away for a while and would come back soon, and let him wait there with peace of mind."

Bai Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Has Zhiyan mentioned to you that he knows Gongyangtu, Uncle Weiyan?"

Yuchi Yuanhe shook his head blankly, "No. How could he know someone with that identity?"

"Last time on the birthday of the emperor's sister-in-law, Gong Yangtu was invited here, and he asked me about Zhiyan. Since he asked me, he probably knew about my relationship with Zhiyan, so I was also very surprised."

Yuchi Yuanhe thought for a while, and said: "I heard from Qiu Ye that His Highness found Zhiyan's mother, and she is doing hard labor in the palace now. Why don't you ask her, maybe she will know something?"

"I asked. She and Zhiyan haven't seen each other for many years, so they don't know anything." Bai Yu was a little discouraged, "I hope nothing will happen to him."

Yuchi Yuanhe was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "By the way, Your Highness, when I went to visit the General at the end of yesterday, I saw Jiuhuaqiu in his residence."

Bai Yu stood up suddenly, surprised and said: "Really?!"

"Yes. The last general asked the groom, and he said that the general had found Jiuhuaqiu not long after he came back."

Bai Yu's smile faded when he heard this, "I asked him before that, why did he say he didn't find it?"

Yuchi Yuanhe didn't speak.

"He knows how guilty I am for losing Jiuhuaqiu. He can blame me or hate me, and I should bear it. But since he found it, why did he lie to me?"

Yuchi Yuanhe still didn't speak.

The more Bai Yu thought about it, the angrier she became, and she sat back sullenly.

Yuchi Yuanhe looked at his expression, and spoke again, in a soft and cautious voice, "The last general has one more request."

"what?"

"Can your Highness...don't tell the general that Zhiyan is still alive?"

"Why?"

Yuchi Yuanhe had a hesitant look on his face.

"You said so."

Yuchi Yuanhe said briefly: "On the day they entered Shangjing, Zhu Sha took the general's sister as a hostage, and it was Zhiyan who ordered the attack."

Bai Yu was silent for a moment, then asked him, "Do you think Yan Xun will remember grudges against Zhi Yan?"

"The last general dare not speculate wildly, just for the sake of insurance."

Bai Yu nodded and said nothing.

He didn't take this matter to heart.Although it is reasonable for Yan Xun to remember Ye Zhiyan.But Yan Xun is a gentleman, and he is aboveboard in bearing grudges, and will not take revenge secretly.If he wanted Ye Zhiyan's life, he would have said it outright in advance.

Besides, it was Zhu Sha who killed Yan Fu, and Ye Zhiyan was not behind the scenes when the rebels attacked the capital. It could even be said that Yan Zun had to bear more responsibility for Yan Fu's death.Even if Yan Xun really wanted to take revenge, he would probably give Ye Zhiyan a good time and would not use any torture to torture him.

But what he didn't expect was that so many accidents would happen later, which caught people off guard again and again.

It was an ordinary morning, he snoozes for a while, wakes up and eats a simple breakfast, and is just about to go to the study to deal with government affairs, when Wei Shiba hurried over.

Talking to him has always been easy, there is no need to turn around.Wei Shiba came up and said: "Your Highness, we found out that about a month ago, the General ordered someone to build a small dungeon in the Qiucao Mountain outside the city, and it seems that someone was imprisoned in it. We dare not act rashly. Your Highness, please show us. Are you going to have a look?"

Bai Yu was stunned, and asked him, "Didn't I tell you to find Ye Zhiyan? Why did you think of going to Cha Yanxun?"

Wei Shiba said bluntly: "Didn't you hear from General Yuchi that the general might take revenge on Mr. Ye? He has been missing since General Yuchi left Liangzhou. He is a good person, why did he disappear suddenly when he had nothing to do? Didn’t the general go to see General Yuchi before, maybe he found out that Young Master Ye was there at that time, so he arranged for people, just wait for General Yuchi to go back to Beijing, and then he can start.”

Qiu Ye coughed lightly, and signaled Wei Shiba not to talk nonsense with his eyes.Of course Wei Shiba didn't understand, and asked him back, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Qiu Ye: "..."

Wei Shiba was pure-hearted and never said anything. Bai Yu knew that he meant no harm, but she still felt very uncomfortable.No matter what happened to him and Yan Xun, he just didn't want to hear others say that about him.

But that dungeon...

"You know that Ye Zhiyan is locked up there? What if it's someone else? Yan Xun won't do that."

Wei Shiba let out an "oh" and nodded, "Then let's keep looking."

Bai Yu waved his hand and let him go.

The next day Yuchi Yuanhe rushed over in a hurry, sweating from his brow.Before Bai Yu could speak, he said in a panic: "Your Highness, Zhiyan is locked in a dungeon in Qiucao Mountain! The last general, the last general..."

Bai Yu's heart sank violently, and her expression changed instantly.
