It's only been seven years, but for Kong Yin, it seems like 70 years have passed.Chu Quan looked at the haggard old man on the bed for a while, "Master, after so long, you have changed a lot."

It was the first time Kong Yin heard this voice after lying on the bed for so long.He slowly opened his eyes, the eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were filled with chaos.Kong Yin looked at Chu Quan and struggled to speak: "Who are you..."

Chu Quan sat down by the bed, "Master, you don't know me anymore, it's really sad. But you don't remember me, you should remember the soul-fixing order?"

Kong Yin's eyes widened suddenly, "You are... Chu Quan?"

Chu Quan smiled, "Master still remembers my name, I'm really flattered."

Kong Yin asked hoarsely, "What are you doing here?"

"Master, don't worry, I'm definitely not here to return your soul-fixing order. To be honest, I don't have any special purpose. It's just that I'm your successor after all, and I still want to come and see you before you die."

"You..." Kong Yin suddenly grabbed Chu Quan's hand, as if exerting all his strength, and then Kong Yin laughed loudly, "It's just you? Want to be the national teacher of Dayan Kingdom? Is the emperor blind? I can't see it."

Chu Quan nodded in agreement, "I agree with your point of view, but it's a pity that the emperor wants me, and I can't help it. Kong Yin, I didn't expect you to be so sick, but my heart is like a mirror."

Kong Yin coughed violently a few times before he said slowly: "So what if you can become a national teacher? With your body, I'm afraid you will spend more time sleeping than awake? It won't be long before you will Never wake up."

"So what?" Chu Quan said calmly, "Before that day comes, I must..." Chu Quan felt that the power in his hand gradually became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely.He looked down at the old man on the bed, his pupils were dilated, and there was no light in his eyes.

Chu Quan walked out of the room, and announced to the imperial physician who was still waiting in the hall with a blank face: "National teacher, go."

The emperor had always had a bad impression of Kong Yin, and he didn't express anything when he heard the news of his death. He just asked the people below to prepare for his funeral as usual.After Kong Yin's death, the emperor could not directly let Chu Quan succeed him as the national teacher, and ordered Chu Quan and a student of Kong Yin to jointly handle all matters of the Sanskrit Hall temporarily.Chu Quan also understood that, after all, he was an outsider, and his promotion was too fast and too eye-catching.Not only the emperor, but also the ministers obviously couldn't get used to this male and female national teacher.But because of their feelings, they still came to the Sanskrit Hall to mourn.As Kong Yin's student, Chu Quan dressed in white and knelt in front of Kong Yin's spirit, entertaining ministers who came to mourn him from time to time.

Yan Xichao had never seen Kong Yin before, even if he could be revived, the soul-sustaining order on Kong Yin's body had helped a lot, and it was Chu Quan who had prepared everything for him.

The first time Yan Xichao entered the Sanskrit Hall, he saw Chu Quan among a dozen people dressed in the same clothes almost instantly.I haven't seen him for a few days, Chu Quan seems to have lost weight again, his face has a faint, indifferent expression, but when he occasionally smiles, he still has a bit of cynical feeling from before.

Zhuang Sui and Yin Yunzhou, who followed Yan Xichao, were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped when they saw Chu Quan.Yin Yunzhou pointed at Chu Quan, and couldn't even finish his sentence for a moment. "General, look, he, Chu Quan, he..."

Zhuang Sui was straightforward, "He is still alive!"

Yan Xichao looked at Chu Quan and said calmly, "He won't die, and I won't allow him to die either."

Chu Quan knelt for a long time, Feichen was really distressed, and walked up to Chu Quan, "Chu Quan, are you tired? Do you want to eat something? You hardly eat much these days."

Chu Quan held Fei Chen's hand, "My master is dead, how can I have a big fish and meat? Although I don't have a good impression of Kong Yin, I still have to look good."

"But..." Feichen bit his lip, "Do you have to do it yourself? Can I replace you?"

Chu Quan smiled and scratched Feichen's nose, "Then I will feel bad too. Well, you don't have to worry about me, go play by yourself. Of course, this is the palace after all, so it's better not to run around."

Fei Chen shook his head, "I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay here with you."

But Yan Xichao, who was at the side, took everything into his eyes one by one, and there was a strange pain in his chest.Zhuang Suixin noticed that Yan Xichao's expression was not right, and asked, "General, what's wrong?"

Yin Yunzhou was still as heartless as before, "I still remember that his soul was shattered into pieces at that time. I thought it would take seven or eight years for Chu Quan to wake up even if he was a god-level spirit master. Let alone fully recovered. But looking at Chu Quan now, he seems to be no different from before. General, can I ask Chu Quan how he recovered?"

"No need." Yan Xichao said, "I will ask him personally. I want to know everything about what happened to him in the past few years."

A pair of black gold-embellished boots appeared in front of Chu Quan. When Chu Quan raised his head, he saw Yan Xichao's handsome and cold face.Chu Quan was not used to looking up at Yan Xichao like this. He just wanted to stand up, but his legs were numb from kneeling for too long. His legs softened and he almost fell down.

Fei Chen, who was guarding Chu Quan, hurried up to help him, but was stopped by Yan Xichao.Feichen looked at this man whom he met for the first time in surprise, and two pairs of very similar eyes looked at each other.Yan Xichao embraced Chu Quan's waist, and unexpectedly found that Chu Quan was thinner than he looked.He suddenly didn't want to ask anything, just said: "You've lost weight."

Chu Quan pushed Yan Xichao away, "Thank you, General. The General also came to worship the teacher?"

"No." Yan Xichao said regardless of the people beside him, "I'm here to see you."

Chu Quan chuckled lightly, "The general really knows how to pick time, and he only came to see me at this time. But I can understand that, after all, as a general with a large army in his hands, the general must be very busy."

Yan Xichao was silent for a moment, then said, "No, I'm not busy."

Chu Quan raised his eyebrows.

"It's not that I don't want to see you, it's that I'm afraid to see you. I don't know what to say when I see you." Yan Xichao smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe it's because of being close to home."

"The general was joking. What do I have to do with the general's hometown?"

Yan Xichao ignored Chu Quan's irony and continued, "As for those seven years..."

Chu Quan withdrew his casual gaze, and looked at Yan Xichao seriously, as if he had been waiting for his answer.

"You don't know how determined I was to leave you. I'm worried that once I go back and see you lying lifeless on the bed, I won't have the strength to leave you again."

Fei Chen looked at Yan Xichao and then at Chu Quan, feeling embarrassed and didn't know what to say.Chu Quan was not absorbed in Yan Xichao's confession to him. He noticed Feichen's embarrassment, and thoughtfully said: "Hey, go down and rest for a while. By the way, help me prepare something to eat, I'm hungry."

Fei Chen was not at ease, he gave Yan Xichao a timid look, and then retreated hesitantly.

Chu Quan sighed, "To be honest, Yan Xichao, you owe me a big favor. I don't want to talk about the past, so you just think about how to repay me."

"I'll give you whatever you want." Yan Xichao looked deeply at the face he had been thinking about for seven years.In the past seven years, as soon as my thoughts stop, I start to miss him,

I miss it so much that I feel scared. "Chu Quan, even if you hate me, I never regret the decision I made. You helped me resurrect to fulfill my wish. And my wish is to get back everything that originally belonged to me. No matter how big or small Yan's country, or you, I want."

Chu Quan smiled, "General, you really misunderstood me. I don't hate you. When I was young, who didn't love... how many unsuitable people did you love? Do you remember what your predecessors said? No matter what choice you make, as long as you don't regret it. You don't regret your choice, but I regret..."

Yan Xichao felt a sharp pain in his heart, "Do you regret it?"

"Yes." Chu Quan said without hesitation, "I regret falling in love with you, and I also regret that I have done so much for you. The people and things in this world have nothing to do with me. I'm stupid for bothering you. At the end of the day, everything I do is voluntary, and you never force me. So, I won't hate you, and of course, I won't love you. I'll treat you with respect. As for them..." Chu Quan glanced at Zhuang Sui and Yin Yunzhou, "I have no malice towards them either. If you are willing to come to my villa, I welcome you at any time."

Yan Xichao finally realized that yes, this is Chu Quan's style.If you love, you love, if you don't love, you don't love.He will not bury his emotions in his heart because he was injured. He is never hypocritical, never duplicity, Chu Quan said he doesn't hate, he really doesn't hate.Chu Quan's attitude towards him was very natural, just like treating a dispensable acquaintance.But why did he prefer Chu Quan to hate him?With such a strong feeling, he wished to experience it again.This time, he will not let go of Chu Quan's hand again.

"So, if you are worried that I will find ways to retaliate against you after becoming a national teacher, you don't have to worry. But..." Chu Quan's eyes sharpened, "If you want to hurt the emperor, I will not help you, I will And stop you."

"Because you are a national teacher?"

"No," Chu Quan said calmly, "Because to me now, the emperor is more important than you."

Yan Xichao gritted his teeth and said, "You care about Yan Qingyuan so much?"

"As expected of the emperor's grandfather, you dare to call your majesty by his first name. But don't worry, I will not tell the emperor your real identity." The hope that had just risen in Yan Xichao's heart was extinguished by Chu Quan's next words, "After all, I have helped you so much. Now that I think about it, I have committed a lot of crimes of deceiving the emperor. I just want to enjoy my life. I don't want to lose my life because of you."

"Chu Quan, I..."

"By the way, the general has nothing to do, so let me go first. Fei Chen has prepared food for me, and I'm going to eat it." After speaking, Chu Quan turned around and wanted to leave.

"At that time, you were still conscious, right?" Yan Xichao asked suddenly.

Chu Quan stopped and turned slightly sideways, "Huh?"

"You came back from the Wangchuan River, although you were sleepy, but I think you are still awake deep in your heart." Otherwise, you wouldn't have grabbed my hand tightly and showed such a desperate expression.

"Did the general forget what I said? I don't remember anymore."

In the end, Chu Quan still didn't eat the food that Fei Chen had prepared for him.When it was time for dinner, the emperor called Chu Quan again.Chu Quan didn't even eat any food, so he was taken to the imperial study.

When the emperor saw him, he pointed to the desk, Chu Quan was stunned, and looked at the emperor puzzled.The emperor said impatiently: "Grinding."

"Oh." Chu Quan acted belatedly.

The two were speechless for a while.Not long after, a eunuch came in to treat the emperor to a meal.The emperor didn't raise his head, "I'm too lazy to go. I don't have much appetite."

"But Your Majesty, the dragon's body is important." The eunuch tried hard to persuade, "Your Majesty, let's eat some."

The emperor put down his pen and rubbed the space between his eyebrows, "Alright. You can bring in the food."

"twitter."

The court lady immediately brought up the delicious imperial meal. Chu Quan, who has been eating vegetarian for almost every meal these days, couldn't bear it anymore.But the emperor only moved his chopsticks a few times, then frowned and said, "Why is it so greasy, didn't you say it should be lighter?"

Chu Quan: "..."

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Damn the servant, this is called the imperial dining room to prepare again."

"No need. I really don't have an appetite." The emperor glanced at Chu Quan, who looked like a dead fish, "You can solve this for me."

"Me? My minister, I dare not. I am still keeping my filial piety for the national teacher."

"What dare not. Sit down and eat."

Chu Quan couldn't wait for it, so he sat down and ate it.The emperor looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked: "Do you still like the house I gave you?"

Chu Quan was eager to answer the emperor's question, and swallowed the soup in his mouth suddenly, "I like it very much."

"Since you like it, I will give that villa another name. Let's call it Qingqing Villa, how about it?"
