I pretend to be affectionate in front of my foe

Yan Yun approached Xiao Yiyang, saw him anxiously groping, and stooped down to pour him a glass of water expressionlessly.

As soon as he handed the teacup to Xiao Yiyang's mouth, Xiao Yiyang rushed over impatiently, without looking at who the other party was, he drank the water in the cup in one gulp with Yan Yun's hand.

Xiao Yiyang was in a particularly embarrassing situation at this time, his face was soaked in cold sweat from the pain, his lips were dry and cracked, and his hands were shaking constantly.

He raised his head after drinking, and the moment he saw that it was Yan Yun, an almost invisible joy flashed in Xiao Yiyang's eyes.

Yan Yun wanted to put down the teacup, but was stopped by Xiao Yiyang, who stared at Yan Yun and begged, but couldn't make a complete sound from his mouth.

Yan Yun shook the cup in his hand and said, "More?"

Xiao Yiyang seemed unable to react, he was stunned for a moment, and when Yan Yun was about to take back the water glass, Xiao Yiyang suddenly began to nod frantically.

Yan Yun poured another glass of water for Xiao Yiyang, he frowned and watched Xiao Yiyang gobble up the water, with only indifference on his face: "Xiao Yue led the soldiers away."

Hearing this, Xiao Yiyang's movement of drinking water suddenly stopped, he slapped the teacup off with the remaining strength, and stared at Yan Yun with wide eyes, with a ferocious expression on his face.

Broken porcelain rolled down on the bright yellow carpet, and the splash of brown tea stains stained the carpet with a dull luster.

Yan Yun turned a blind eye to Xiao Yiyang's furious expression, he sat down beside the dragon bed, tucked the quilt for Xiao Yiyang, and added: "At this moment, the whole palace belongs to us."

"The day you fear the most seems to have finally come."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yiyang seemed to be even more excited. He glared at Yan Yun angrily, and was about to get up with his hands on the edge of the bed, but was pushed back to lie down by Yan Yun.

There was a faint smile on Yan Yun's face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Your Majesty, you need to take good care of yourself. You don't have to worry about other things. Everything is arranged by the Sixth Prince and his ministers."

The huge sleeping hall was empty, only Yan Yun and Xiao Yiyang.

Xiao Yiyang struggled to turn his head to the door, and after seeing the dense army brought by Yan Yun outside the door, he suddenly sighed dejectedly.He seemed to have given up resistance, lying on the bed expressionlessly without saying a word.

The emperor who used to be above ten thousand people can only be manipulated by others now.

Thinking that Xiao Yiran's life and death were still uncertain, Yan Yun took one last look at Xiao Yiyang and got up to leave. Xiao Yiyang, who had been unable to speak until now, was suddenly able to speak.

"I have a question to ask you." He turned his back and did not look at Yan Yun, Yan Yun could not see his expression, and could only hear intermittent coughing.

Yan Yun, who had already opened his legs and was about to leave, turned back again. He stood by the bed and looked down at Xiao Yiyang and said, "Say it."

Yan Yun cared about the injured Xiao Yiran wholeheartedly, and his tone was unknowingly anxious.

"If I wasn't the emperor, would you always be by my side?"

Yan Yun didn't know how to answer this sentence, he couldn't figure out Xiao Yiyang's thoughts.

It was Xiao Yiyang who obviously wanted to kill first, and it was Xiao Yiyang who didn't cherish this brotherhood.Now that he was asking this question, he acted like Yan Yun had broken his promise first.

This made Yan Yun's mood very complicated. Everything that should have happened has happened, so what's the use of talking about it now.

"It is impossible for you to choose not to be the emperor, this cannot be changed."

"The moment you didn't trust me and planned to kill me, the friendship between us no longer existed."

After hearing these words, Yan Yun and Xiao Yiyang's back trembled a few times, and then he heard a long sigh.

Only then did Xiao Yiyang turn his head, he tried his best to put on a look of indifference, but the wry smile in his eyes revealed his helplessness.He looked at Yan Yun, and slowly took out half of the fragmented jade pendant from his bosom.

If Xiao Yiyang hadn't kept this jade pendant, Yan Yun would have almost forgotten its existence.

Yan Yun didn't expect that after so many years, Xiao Yiyang still kept it.

"A childhood plaything, what do you still keep?"

In fact, Yan Yun didn't want to have too much communication with Xiao Yiyang, but when he saw the jade pendant, an indescribable emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.

In the past, he and Xiao Yiyang talked about everything and were innocent.

Perhaps Xiao Yiyang at that time still had true feelings for people, and he was not as hypocritical as he is now, with only power and the throne in his eyes.

Seeing Yan Yun's reaction, Xiao Yiyang laughed at himself: "This is the first time you have given me something."

Hearing what Xiao Yiyang said, Yan Yun was obviously stunned. He gave away too many things, let alone such worthless gadgets.

Yan Yun suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. Seeing Xiao Yiyang's expression was no longer so indifferent: "The past is in the past, so I can take care of myself in the future. After the friendship between you and me is exhausted, there will be nothing more to do with it."

Yan Yun's decisive words made Xiao Yiyang feel annoyed, and made him feel that his hidden sincerity was being treated as a joke.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yiyang smashed the jade pendant to the ground in a fit of anger. The jade pendant that was already broken could not be repaired anymore.

"Why him? How is he better than me? That lunatic." Xiao Yiyang's emotions had gradually collapsed, and he grabbed Yan Yun's clothes with all his strength, as if to tear him apart.

Yan Yun turned around and glanced at him indifferently, but didn't answer, he didn't want to answer such meaningless questions.

"Let go."

"It's also a man, why can you accept him but not me?" Xiao Yiyang felt unwilling, and his tone became irritable: "Why does he want to rob me of everything I want? Why?"

"He is more magnanimous than you." Yan Yun said as he pulled Xiao Yiyang's hand away and pushed him back, covered him with a quilt, stared into his eyes and said: "You are too greedy, you want everything, so you can't get anything .”

"Also, he is braver than you, at least he won't give in because of power and worldliness."

Speaking of Xiao Yiran, Yan Yun's originally calm eyes instantly filled with tenderness: "He has not married a wife for more than ten years because of me."

These words pierced Xiao Yiyang's heart like a knife blade, he was in a hurry, he wanted to say something but before he had time to say it, he couldn't help but spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah Yun, I really like you." Xiao Yiyang wiped off the blood around his mouth, and once again grabbed Yan Yun's clothes corner and did not let go

"I don't like men, nor are the concubines in your palace who look forward to your favor every day. Whether you are the emperor or Xiao Yiyang, you have no place in my heart."

As Yan Yun said, he cut off the corner of his clothes that was being held by Xiao Yiyang and said decisively: "Your Majesty, let's rest first, the minister has stepped back."

Watching Yan Yun's back gradually going away, Xiao Yiyang got up dejectedly and wanted to chase after him, but before he reached the door, the door of the bedroom was closed.

"The emperor is recuperating here, and idlers are not allowed to disturb him without permission." Yan Yun left without looking back after leaving these words, and Xiao Yiyang was accompanied by one guard after another to prevent him from escaping.

Looking at the closed door, Xiao Yiyang seemed to have been hit by something suddenly, grabbed the door and began to shout loudly.

The soldiers guarding the door seemed to have never heard of it, and no one cared about it.

I don't know if he was tired from shouting, but Xiao Yiyang suddenly became quiet without any warning. He looked at the fragments of the jade pendant, dragged his broken leg and crawled back, picking up the fragments one by one.

Some of the fragments were so broken that they could not be seen, Xiao Yiyang crawled over and was pierced to the knee by those fragments.

Even though the knee was already bloody, Xiao Yiyang stubbornly picked up the fragments as if unconscious, his eyes were red and his eyes were loose, and his cautious state had gradually become abnormal.

When Yan Yun went to visit Xiao Yiran, he had slowly started to recover, and was temporarily placed in the palace where the sixth prince once lived.

For the sake of safety, Yan Yun sent many guards to guard outside the gate of the palace.

Seeing Xiao Yiran again, Yan Yun found that although his injuries had improved, his complexion was still the same sick, even worse than when he was injured.

In order to facilitate the observation of Xiao Yiran's injuries at any time, Li Qiwu stayed close to him almost all day long.

Yan Yun didn't understand medical skills, so he turned to Li Qiwu and asked, "Why doesn't his complexion look very good, hasn't he been recuperating for several days?"

"External injuries are easy to heal, but internal injuries are hard to heal." Li Qiwu was a little tired after watching the whole night, he slumped on the chair beside him and said weakly: "It stands to reason that Xiao Yiran's poison shouldn't have spread so quickly in a short period of time."

Hearing this, Yan Yun hurried forward and held Xiao Yiran's hand.

Sure enough, as he expected, Xiao Yiran's hands were icy cold, even the crevices of his fingers were cold, it felt like ice cubes in the cold winter.

"Unless someone does it on purpose." After speaking, Li Qi sighed helplessly: "If this is the case, then I'm afraid..."

Yan Yun understood, what Li Qiwu meant was that someone had tampered with Xiao Yiran's current state to speed up the onset of toxicity.

"How?" Yan Yun interjected unconsciously, "What's the worst case?"

Li Qi couldn't stop talking. He looked at Xiao Yiran who was motionless on the bed with a frowning expression, and sighed a few more times.

Seeing this, Yan Yun didn't dare to ask again, he subconsciously felt that if he asked again, he would get an unacceptable result.

Yan Yun immediately found a stool, dragged it to the bed and sat down to guard it.

"Go and rest, I'll watch over him." Seeing Li Qiwu's tired face, Yan Yun took the initiative to say: "Brother Li has been exhausted these days."

During this period of time, in order to deal with the affairs in the palace, Yan Yun also did not dare to relax for a moment. Although Xiao Yiyang had been controlled, the world was still uncertain, and there were still many unpredictable dangers.

"My lord, you should take a rest too." Li Qiwu studied medicine all the year round, and he knew Yan Yun's condition was not good just by looking at him.

"He'll be fine." Seeing that Yan Yun didn't speak, Li Qiwu added another sentence, not sure if he was comforting him or himself.

"Well, he'll be fine." Yan Yun turned around and squeezed Xiao Yiran's still cold hand and said, "He still has a lot of mess to deal with, he hasn't eaten my cooking, he hasn't gone to enjoy flowers with me..."

At first Li Qiwu echoed Yan Yun's words, but the more he listened to it, the more something went wrong. He glanced at Yan Yun in surprise, and couldn't help but joked: "My lord, the iron tree has blossomed. Xiao Yiran, he has waited?"

Li Qiwu thought that with Xiao Yiran's cowardice, he would never be able to catch up with Yan Yun for the rest of his life. Hearing what Yan Yun said, Li Qiwu immediately started to gossip. He immediately approached Yan Yun, ready to ask for details.

Before he could speak, Liu Ruyu who didn't know when came grabbed him by the collar from behind.

"You should go to rest too." After Liu Ruyu finished speaking, she carried Li Qiwu away like a chicken.
