They say it's sick

Chapter 74

While listening to Xiao Duo's words, Li Yan filled up his own teacup, then put down the teapot, looked up at Xiao Duo: "My lord really knows everything."

"It's tacit understanding that the Yun family has planted some "nails" in the capital. Apart from passing on news over the years, they haven't done anything out of bounds, so let them do it. "Speaking of this, Xiao Duo smiled softly, "It's a bit of a skill, not many people have been able to inquire about the news of the palace in the past few years.It's a pity, Ah Luo quite likes the dishes of Chunfenglou. "

Li Yan was silent for a moment.

He knew that the Yun family had a "nail" in the capital, and neither Yun Zhi nor Chen Jin passed the news back and forth to Pingzhou to avoid him.

On the contrary, he himself knew very well that his status was special, and because of his connection with the Huai'an Palace, he never asked too many questions.Therefore, the source of the news and the identity of the "nail" can be regarded as ignorant.

But I don't know whether Xiao Duo knew about it a long time ago, or because Yun Zhi's people found out about the Wangfu this time, the traces were exposed, but no matter what it is, it is irrelevant to the moment.

After a little hesitation, Li Yan opened his mouth: "You also said that the members of the Yun family are only passing on news and have not crossed the line, otherwise..."

"What do you think I'm going to do to them?" Xiao Duo glanced at his mouth, "The members of the Yun family have always been cautious. This time they found me and they expected the risk of exposure. None of them are open anymore.

Otherwise, go and talk to Mr. Yun, I don't care about this matter, how about letting Chunfeng Building open as usual?Or if you are really worried, you can send the previous cook to the palace, anyway, you have to eat every day. "

Li Yan paused, and finally shook his head with a smile: "If it was before, anyone who sensed the prince's intentions would have taken the initiative to send him here before opening his mouth. As for now...even when I learned that the prince was there Yunji has staff around him and reports his itinerary regularly, so it is inevitable to have a moment of suspicion, I don't know what Xiaohuai thinks."

"Just a moment of doubt? This son is really not in vain..." Xiao Duo smiled, "Now that the story is over... that guard is indeed my man, but he didn't put him beside Yunji on purpose. When the first emperor passed away, the princes had a lot of quarrels. Everyone in the court was in danger, and I was very busy. I was also afraid that sister Yu would be left unattended, so I picked a few trustworthy guards to go to Prince Rui's mansion. As soon as he ascended the throne, he took advantage of the opportunity to become his bodyguard, but he did not expect to be picked to escort Yunji back this time."

Li Yan bit his lips: "It just so happens that the lord is already jealous of the Yun family, so he took this opportunity to let the guards monitor Yunji, and send regular letters back to report?"

"That's not true. I will be afraid of the Yun family, but Yunji... I have dealt with him in the court for the past three years, and I can feel at ease about him. It's just that after he left the capital, I've heard some news..."

Having said that, Xiao Duo didn't know what to think, suddenly sneered, and changed his tone directly, "Are you worried, if Yunji's death is really related to me, according to the relationship between their brothers, Young Master Yun Will it bother you?"

"Maybe the prince doesn't understand You Huai..." Li Yan said, "It's just that I'm worried that I won't face him."

"Then what's so shameless..." Xiao Duo said, "If it's really what I did, you'll leave the palace and join the family in Yunfu."

Li Yan squeezed the teacup in his hand: "Then will I have the face to face the prince and the steward?"

Xiao Duo stared at him for a while, then smiled softly: "Xuanzhi, I remember I told you earlier that there is no way to have the best of both worlds."

"Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? It only depends on the prince's words..." Li Yan bit his lower lip, "Is the death of Prince Yun related to the prince?"

"It's not that important whether I tell you it's related or not..." Xiao Duo said, "Isn't the most important thing what Yunzhi thinks?"

Li Yan stared at Xiao Duo for a while, then nodded lightly: "I see."

"It's good to know..." Xiao Duo stared at Li Yan for a while, then touched the report from the table, "Have you found out about your mother?"

Li Yan didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn here, so he was stunned for a moment before replying: "It's Li Xuan. He happened to pass by that day, and happened to meet my mother who was worshiping my father, so he hit my father's head in anger. The spiritual position, and then drew a sword and killed my mother during the dispute. But because it was bestowed by the late emperor after all, we covered it up."

Xiao Duo lowered his eyes and looked at the report in his hand. Hearing this, he let out a chuckle and sighed a little: "It's almost as expected... Although it can't change anything, it can be regarded as an explanation."

"Won't your lord ask about the cause of Li Xuan's death?" Li Yan squinted his eyes slightly, "Or even this lord already knows."

"I'm not as omniscient as you expected, but you can guess about this kind of thing. When you arrived in Pingzhou, Li Xuan suddenly fell ill..." Xiao Duo chuckled, "As for How did he die, I am too lazy to ask."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the sky outside, and then turned his gaze back to Li Yan's face: "Okay, I have said everything that should be said, and I have said a lot of things that should not be said. Finally, I feel better. , hurry back and rest."

Li Yan glanced at the messy reports on the table: "The prince doesn't need me here?"

"Not less than one day or two..." Xiao Duo waved his hand, "One sick person in this mansion is enough to make me tired, let's go back."

"Okay..." Li Yan responded, got up and put on the fox fur coat and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Duo, then stretched out his hand, "My lord..."

Xiao Duo looked up at him: "So what?"

Li Yan replied: "Rabbit..."

"Oh, you said this little thing..." Xiao Duo looked suddenly enlightened, and put the little gray rabbit on his lap without any intention of entrusting it, "You have to rest when you go back and you don't have time to take care of it, so just put it here, my lord." Let me take care of it for you, and I will pay you back at dinner."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows lightly: "You Huai gave this to me."

Xiao Duo asked while stroking the little gray rabbit's head: "So?"

"So I'll take care of it myself."

After finishing speaking, Li Yan leaned over, took the little gray rabbit back directly from Xiao Duo's hands, held the little gray rabbit in his arms and smoothed his hair, then nodded slightly: "Then I will take my leave first."

Xiao Duo glanced into his arms, then looked at that calm and breezy face, and finally couldn't help throwing the memorial in his hand: "Hurry up and get out!"

Li Yan tilted his head, avoided it very easily, and couldn't help but smiled softly: "Don't be too tired, my lord, just take a look at the important ones first, and I'll come and help you with the rest tomorrow."

Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked out the door.

Xiao Duo stared at the closed door for a while, shook his head with a smile, then took out a letter from under the stacked reports, lowered his eyes to look at it, and suddenly raised his voice and said to the outside: "Come in , send me a letter."

The door opened and closed with only a soft sound, and then there was only the crackling sound of charcoal burning in the room.

Xiao Duo picked up a memorial again, and continued to look through it.

After entering winter, the days become very short. As soon as the winter rain that has been pattering for most of the day stops here, the sun has already set over there. Before the gloom of the day has dissipated, the darkness of the night has fallen.

Yun Zhi sat crookedly on the soft couch, wearing only a thin tunic, her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, soaking the clothes on her shoulders. Fortunately, Yun Li was afraid that he would not be able to stand the winter in the capital, so he asked people to stay indoors early. A charcoal basin is prepared inside, so as not to feel the coolness.

Although the population of this mansion is simple, it has not had many things to take care of for several months after all, and after chatting with Yun Li for a while, it was finally free to go back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, and then it was this time.

I haven't returned for several months, and because there are clouds standing there, there are no obvious changes in the mansion, even the furnishings in this room.

In particular, those books that Yunzhi had deliberately left unorganized were still in their original state, and no one had touched them, which was surprisingly kind.

Yun Zhi glanced across the room, and was about to get up when someone knocked on the door twice.

Looking out by the dim candlelight, a familiar figure was printed on the door.

Yun Zhi took the clean coat beside the bed and draped it over her shoulders: "Come in..."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the room was pushed open, and Chen Jin walked in.

Yun Zhi looked up at him, a little strange: "Xuanzhi is not here, when did you come to my house and you know knocking on the door?"

"Isn't it a habit I developed along the way..." Chen Jin closed the door casually, walked to the charcoal basin and grilled his hands, "Is everything okay in the house?"

"Brother Li is here, and we have specially reserved manpower, so naturally nothing will happen..." Yun Zhi nodded, "Where is the Spring Wind Tower?"

"You know what Yang Er is capable of. He has cleaned everything up. All his subordinates have already left the city. The remaining cooks and Xiao Er in Chunfeng Building have also been given severance pay..." Chen Jin hesitated after finishing speaking. For a moment, "Are we being overly careful? Yang Er only checked a little earlier, so King Huai'an may not be able to detect it?"

"In this capital city, it's hard to hide anything from him..." Yun Zhi said, "Yang Er is not the only person we can use in the capital city, so there is no need to take such a big risk to continue. Our Yun family has traveled thousands of miles to the capital for so many years, so we should give us a way out."

Chen Jin thought for a while, then nodded his head: "It's a pity that Chunfeng Building, otherwise, I'll ask Yang Er, where is the cook, and how about bringing him here?"

"I remember that cook is especially good at stewing soup?" Yunzhi thought for a while, "You find him and send him directly to Huai'an Palace."

Chen Jin opened his mouth: "Aren't you afraid that King Huai'an will follow suit?"

"If he thinks about it, Yang Er and the others may not be able to get out of the city so easily..." Yun Zhi said lightly, "It's just a tacit understanding, just give each other a step."

"The King of Huai'an is really..." Chen Jin took a deep breath, "Then what shall we do next?"

"Follow-up?" Yun Zhi turned her eyes to the desk next to her, "I want to tidy up this room."

Chen Jin was stunned: "I'm not asking you this, I mean..."

"The one you mentioned..." Yun Zhi said, "We'll talk about it after cleaning up the house."
