Chapter 136 The Thief
When Wu Song sent the medicine to Li Yanchuan's room, he saw Zhuo Ran lying on the couch, and Li Yanchuan was sitting on the rattan chair and looking down at something. His actions made Li Yanchuan pause for a moment, and he put his finger on his lips to signal him not to come out. Voice.

Li Xunchuan didn't move his left hand, but turned over the letter that had just been sent back with his right hand.Wu Song put the medicine on the table and said softly, "Master, the medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot."

"Why are there two bowls?" Li Xunchuan frowned, seeing Wu Song looking at Zhuo Ran, he knew that she was looking for a doctor.He smiled helplessly in his heart, he didn't want Zhuo Ran to find a doctor, he didn't want to resist, Luo Cheng hadn't fully recovered, he couldn't be the first to show weakness.The situation in Gaodu is unknown, he needs to think of a way to go back earlier, and also has to think about how to protect Zhuo Ran.

The letter just now was handed over by Yi Dong. These days, the letter could not be sent back to Los Angeles, and finally reached Li Yuchuan's hands. This news is basically out of date.

Wen Rongxi didn't know how much trouble Yan Chengxuan had made, but only said that Jin Peng and Huo Jie had a rift.Jinpeng suspected Huo Jie because there was no evidence, but the things that happened in Yidong were basically under Huo Jie's jurisdiction. Shao Hui and Tong Rong stood by Jinpeng's side, and Huo Jie is now clamoring to submit his resignation to Gaodu. It's been a rough few days.

Wang Cheng was also restless, his words were full of provocations, and he was the kind who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and was locked in the room by Xi Yu and Gu Zhao to prevent people from going out.As for the problem of Yan's business line, Wen Rongxi and Zisha still had no clues, as if this problem never existed at all, but it just happened to be a problem.

Li Xunchuan sighed, just mentioning Zisha, inexplicably he thought of the Zisha Hall where Wei Xun was.These two people have nothing to do with each other, maybe they really have the same name.

He thought so, but he still had doubts.

"Master," Wu Song saw the change in Li Yuchuan's expression, so he had to push the medicine bowl closer and said, "This is yours."

Li Xunchuan rubbed his thumb on the edge of the bowl, gave a soft "hmm", and said softly, "Where's Wei Xun?"

"He Xiong Zhenghao just came back from outside," Wu Song said, "helped a lot, he doesn't look like a bad guy."

The corners of Li Xunchuan's lips raised a slight arc, holding the bottom of the bowl filled with medicine, Wu Song was a little scared by his expression, Li Xunchuan turned his head to look at him, and said, "Go and help these few days, Let's go back to Gaodu when I feel better."

Wu Song nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, feeling that he felt safe by being with Li Xunchuan.But before he could express this expression, he saw Li Xunchuan frowning slightly while covering his wound.

"Master..." Wu Song immediately jumped up, Li Yuchuan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly lowered his voice.

"It's all right." Li Yanchuan said softly, "You go out first, and call them all over later, I have something to say."

Wu Song nodded and tiptoed out of the door.

Li Xunchuan's clothes hung loosely on his shoulders. He tilted his head and tore off the clothes on his left shoulder. The white gauze went around his armpit to wrap the wound tightly. No wonder he felt uncomfortable, so he stretched out his fingers to loosen it some.

"Chi Yue..."

Hearing Zhuo Ran's voice, Li Yunchuan grabbed the medicine bowl and walked to the side of the couch.Zhuo Ran didn't wake up, just snorted softly in her sleep, reaching out to find something, Li Xunchuan stuffed his fingers into her palm.

Zhuo Ran has a habit of sleeping while clutching something, such as Li Xunchuan's fingers.She felt safe after grabbing something, and buried her head in the bed. Li Yanchuan tore off the quilt a little, not wanting her to sleep any more, but felt that she might be a little tired, and stopped when the words that wanted to wake her up came to her lips. went back.

"That's all..." Li Yanchuan leaned down, rubbing the tip of his nose against Zhuo Ran's ear, Zhuo Ran flinched twice and immediately woke up, and was startled by Li Yanchuan before he could react.

Zhuo Ran blinked her eyes, supported the mattress and got up, as if she was still remembering where she should be just now.Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "You kicked me off the couch and scared yourself, Zhuo Xiaqiu, you don't take care of me at all..."

"Have you taken medicine?" Zhuo Ran approached him and smelled it, and said, "Why is it so bitter?"

Li Xunchuan turned around and brought the medicine over, shook it in front of Zhuo Ran, and said, "I've already drank mine, it's your turn."

Zhuo Ran was very obedient this time, and finished drinking with the bowl in both hands.Li Xunchuan rubbed her temples with his fingertips, took the bowl and put it down.Zhuo Ran licked the corner of her lips, Li Yanchuan stretched out his hand, and the tiger's mouth caught her chin to make her look up, Zhuo Ran frowned at him, Li Yanchuan turned his head and kissed him.

This seems to have become a hobby.Li Xunchuan always felt that after seeing Zhuo Ran, he couldn't control himself. He just wanted to kiss her a few times before bullying her. Although it was a bit difficult to explain, he just couldn't control it.

He likes to bite Zhuo Ran so that he can dominate, it feels subtle.Zhuo Ran put her arms around his neck, supported her body and raised her head, Li Xunchuan held her waist and leaned forward.

"..." Li Yuchuan suddenly widened his eyes, and someone's hands were really restless.Zhuo Ran was proud of being favored, without fear at all, Li Yanchuan stretched out his fingers to clasp Zhuo Ran's wrist.

Zhuo Ran suppressed a smile, and Li Yanchuan looked at her meaningfully: "Do you think it's still early?"

"I don't." Zhuo Ran leaned back slightly, but Li Yanchuan didn't support her, so she simply lay on her back on the couch, Li Yanchuan smiled coldly, rolled over and pressed on her.

Zhuo Ran looked at Li Yanchuan and laughed, and Li Yanchuan frowned slightly: "Are you stupid?"

"I'm not stupid." Zhuo Ran touched his shoulder and said softly, "Does it hurt here? The doctor sucked out a lot of poisonous blood with a bamboo tube, but you still haven't woken up. I thought you fainted from the pain."

Li Xunchuan shook his head and said: "It doesn't hurt. I was weak just now. You don't have to worry about me. But you, why didn't you listen to me if I didn't let you use force easily? If Wei Xun hadn't come out to help, if you were injured at that time, I would What should I do, do you want me to hold you and cry?"

Zhuo Ran pinched his face and said, "It won't happen next time."

Li Xunchuan bent down, Zhuo Ran hugged him like this, Li Xunchuan's whole body weight was on her body, Zhuo Ran poked his head out and panted, Li Xunchuan bit her neck.

"I'm running out of strength, so please feel sorry for me..." Li Yanchuan supported Zhuo Ran's waist and changed positions. Zhuo Ran looked at Li Yanchuan incomprehensibly, and kissed the back of his neck thoroughly.

The later things didn't come to fruition, so they dragged on until the next morning. Both of them looked like they hadn't woken up. Zhuo Ran could fall asleep with his head supported. Li Xunchuan didn't say anything, but just mentioned a few words Prepare to return to Gaodu.

Xiong Zheng was not worried about Li Xunchuan's injury, but seeing that he looked better, he didn't ask further questions.If it is impossible for Li Yuchuan not to worry about the forbidden army, he wants to return to Gaodu as soon as possible, not only for the forbidden army.If Chu Shiyu was really trapped in the imperial city, he had no reason not to rescue him, but in this way, it was a matter of time, and the balance and tranquility that could have been maintained but now had to be broken.

Furthermore, there is no conclusion about the matter of Beili now. Luocheng is only so far away from Beili. He definitely wants to go back, but now is not the time.

Li Xunchuan sighed slightly, and glanced at Zhuo Ran.He felt that all that should be said was finished, so he told everyone to go down and rest.Li Xunchuan got up and closed the door and window, carefully picked up Zhuo Ran's legs, picked him up, put him on the couch and fell asleep.

***
Fog locks the towers, mist and rain cover the imperial city.

Yan Chengxuan opened the door and entered the palace, seeing the food on the table without taking a bite, sighed helplessly, sat down on his own, and said, "Sister, do you really want to fight against me?"

Yan Qingyao didn't answer, she sat on the side of the couch and looked at the burning candle, not wanting to look at him.

"Sister..." Yan Chengxuan frowned slightly, and said: "When is it, don't think that I can turn back. I am here, and I am the one who intends to seek power and usurp the throne. There is no way to change these things. .”

Yan Qingyao turned her head to the side. She didn't want to hear what he said. Seriously, she didn't want to accept this reality.She didn't know that his own brother would walk on this path one day, and she couldn't stop it in time.Now he is still imprisoned in the palace, what exactly is Yan Chengxuan doing for?
Yan Chengxuan walked up to Yan Qingyao, bent down and took her hand, and said softly, "Sister...it doesn't matter if you don't understand many things. If you want to ask me anything, just ask."

"You..." Yan Qingyao finally raised her head and said, "The business lines of Yan's family, those managed by Wang Cheng, were all your actions?"

Yan Chengxuan frowned slightly: "Sister..."

"Didn't you want me to ask?" Yan Qingyao looked at him and said, "You just need to tell me?"

"Yes..." Yan Chengxuan straightened up and said, "It's me."

Yan Qingyao withdrew her hand abruptly, raised her head and slapped him: "You bastard! The business line of Yan's family is so important, how dare you tamper with it? Thanks to your father trusting you so much, he entrusted you with all the account books , is that what you did?"

Yan Chengxuan turned his head to look at her: "Sister..."

"Don't call me!" Yan Qingyao shook her head and said, "Why? You are from the Yan family, so you just repay your father like this? Now you are still doing such a rebellious thing, what's wrong with you!"

Yan Chengxuan frowned and said, "Sister, does that mean me? It doesn't matter if I ruined Yan's business line, we will have more, Sister, as long as you stand by my side, we will take good care of my father. Can it all be the same as before?"

Yan Qingyao sneered and said, "What about Wen Rongxi? He will definitely be extremely disappointed in you when he comes back. Don't try to accomplish anything, I promise!"

"He won't come back in a short time!" Yan Chengxuan took two steps back and said, "When I finish these things, he will have to accept the reality when he comes back!"

Yan Qingyao shook her head: "You must be crazy..."

"That's not really..." Yan Chengxuan looked at Yan Qingyao and said, "Sister, things are not as simple as you think. Maybe in a few days, you will figure everything out."

"What about Your Majesty and Concubine Lan?"

Yan Chengxuan snorted softly, and said, "You care about the two of them so much? Sister, you were not like this before..."

Yan Qingyao didn't speak.Yan Chengxuan sighed, and said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't do anything to them. Xiqi needs a few more people, so it will be more fun."

"I advise you, enough is enough."

Yan Chengxuan turned around and said, "It's too late, the arrow is on the string."

"Wait!" Yan Qingyao said, "Let me go out, I want to see Concubine Lan and Your Majesty."

"Are you stupid?" Yan Chengxuan turned his head back: "I'm a traitor now, you are my elder sister, do you think he won't take the opportunity to kill you to vent his anger when you go to see Chu Shiyu?"

"Then you obviously don't have to do that!"

Yan Chengxuan laughed out loud, after all, she was still for Chu Shiyu.But he didn't understand, what's so good about Chu Shiyu, it was a fluffy promise when he was young, giving his sister the best years.Now she really has nothing but the title of imperial concubine, even if Yan Yingzhen is still the prime minister, even if the Yan family still has a somewhat daunting status for the royal family.

Now, Chu Shiyu can be regarded as a tiger in Pingyang, why Yan Qingyao just doesn't understand.

Yan Chengxuan sighed deeply, and said: "Forget it, just go and see how embarrassed he is, and see if he is still the young man you like?"

Yan Qingyao rushed out the door.

It is no longer possible to go inside the pilgrimage hall. Chu Shiyu and Ye Lanyi were imprisoned in Chu Yun's bedroom. She ran all the way to the hall, and only after entering the hall did she find that Yan Chengxuan had arranged many people outside the hall, more than those who looked at her. Several times more.

What is the trouble?
Yan Qingyao pushed open the palace door, and the guards outside saw her go in and closed it again. Yan Qingyao didn't need to look for it, but saw Ye Lanyi looking at her with a pale and weak smile.

"Concubine Lan." Yan Qingyao knelt beside her, Chu Yun fell asleep in her arms, but Yan Chengxuan didn't mistreat them, it seemed as simple as keeping them here, nothing left behind.

Ye Lanyi said hoarsely, "Why are you here? He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Yan Qingyao shook her head and said, "I'm his own sister anyway, and he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous with me. Why are you sitting here, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty suffered from a cold attack earlier, and I was afraid that the child would disturb him, so I came out first." Ye Lanyi looked towards the inner hall and said, "Your Majesty is still sleeping, it seems that the situation is not good."

Yan Qingyao took Chu Yun into her arms, helped Ye Lanyi up, and said softly, "I have something to say to you, go in and wake up Your Majesty."

Ye Lanyi nodded, and walked towards the inner hall with Yan Qingyao's arm on her arm.

Chu Shiyu was seriously ill, and the cold disease was easy to attack at this time, not to mention being trapped here now.He was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, his thin outline was extremely obvious, but Yan Qingyao had an illusion that he was not breathing.

Yan Qingyao placed Chuyun on the couch, took a closer look, and found that Chu Shiyu was only breathing weakly, so she felt relieved.Chu Shiyu fell into a deep sleep, and it took her a long time to wake him up.

Ye Lanyi took the cushion and placed it beside the bed, Yan Qingyao supported Chu Shiyu to sit up, the sudden silence was a little awkward, the three of them wanted to speak to break the deadlock, but none of them spoke.

Chu Shiyu looked sideways at the sleeping Chu Yun, stretched out his fingers and gently pulled his sleeve, wrapped his hand clenched into a small fist, patted it a few times for comfort, and then looked up at Yan Qingyao.

"Your Majesty..." Yan Qingyao said in a shy voice, and Chu Shiyu responded softly, making Yan Qingyao a little dazed, as if they were still there before, as if none of this had happened.

Chu Shiyu smiled, and said softly: "If it's really difficult, you don't need to come here. The most important thing now is to protect yourself."

Yan Qingyao lowered her head, looked into Chu Shiyu's eyes, and said, "Does Your Majesty suspect that I have colluded with him..."

"I never doubted you."

Chu Shiyu shook his head and said, "I don't blame you for this matter. In fact, I also thought that one day it would become like this, but I never thought it would be so soon."

He wanted to destroy Dayu before.Because of Chulian, the throne has become extremely dark and shameful, even if he does something to make up for it, it will not help because it is useless.How could one person stop the crowd, let alone such righteous words, which made it difficult for him to speak directly.

This is not something worthy of sympathy, at least in his opinion, it is called deserve it.

Later, with Ye Lanyi and Yan Qingyao, and then Chuyun, and because he had seen too many ways of the world, he suddenly understood something.It's just that he understood a little late, or it can be said, too late.

At the end of the day, these people gradually started to rebel, but he was powerless to resist.This could be considered a kind of regret, and it was this kind of regret that made him feel a little guilty. He didn't fully implement what he said he wanted to do in his position.

That's what it means to wait for no one.

But he was relieved.At least the people he liked when he was young are still by his side now, whether they are voluntary or not, but for him, this is very good.

"His purpose is not limited to this position." Chu Shiyu sighed and said, "Forget it, if I guess anything, it won't help, so you go back first."

Ye Lanyi stepped forward and squatted beside Chu Shiyu, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not easy for the imperial concubine to come out. If you have anything to do, please talk to the imperial concubine. We are trapped here now, and..."

Yan Qingyao frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty is worried about Xiqi and Beili."

Chu Shiyu raised the corners of his lips and said, "You know everything."

"I'm his older sister, so I can guess what's going on in his mind." Yan Qingyao said, "But it's too outrageous. I didn't expect his goals to be in Xiqi and Beili."

Chu Shiyu leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess his purpose. He's waiting for Ye Ji and Chi Yue to come back. I don't care whether he is doing it for his own selfish desires or for something else. If these people are endangered, I will definitely kill them."

"Your Majesty..." Ye Lanyi grabbed his hand.

Yan Qingyao bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty does not need to do it yourself, the concubine will give you an explanation, it's just... can your Majesty..."

"Of course I won't implicate Prime Minister Zuo," Chu Shiyu said softly, "I promise you."

Yan Qingyao nodded: "The concubine thanked Your Majesty."

Ye Lanyi helped Yan Qingyao up, suddenly thought of something, and said, "I don't know where Xia Qiong is locked up, can you help me find her?"

Yan Qingyao nodded.
