"An old friend who is not very important."

"I forgot the name, too."

Yang Li didn't want to say more, he just wanted to take Lin Qingyan in to rest.

Seeing him evading the question, Lin Qingyan could imagine that this was an answer he didn't want to give.

So she didn't make things difficult for him and followed him into the house.

On the desk, there were still some papers from Lin Qingyan and Wang Lian's previous conversation. She hadn't had time to throw them into the trash can. When she was about to throw them away, Yang Li got the papers before her.

However, Yang Li did not say anything when he saw the words above. Instead, he said with concern: "I will help you clean up, you sit down first."

Lin Qingyan watched him sort out the papers and throw the ones with words on them into the trash can, and gestured: [Don’t you have anything to ask me? ]

"What are you asking?" Yang Li didn't understand.

[You...can't see the words above? ]

"...How could that be? I can see clearly."

Yang Li said this and threw away the last piece of paper with words on it.

[Can you please stop hiding things from me? Yang Li, can you be more honest? ]

Lin Qingyan no longer believed him, but thinking about what he had said before, she could only assume that his eyesight was getting worse and worse.

Looking at his dull grey eyes, Lin Qingyan walked over and hugged him, but Yang Li hugged her back.

"Don't think too much. Go lie down on the bed for a while. You've been exhausted from the journey. You should have a good rest."

He bent down, picked the person up, and walked towards the bed.

"Now that you're back, you should take good care of your baby in the eunuch's uterus."

"Don't run around with your belly bulging all the time. It's very chaotic outside now. Just stay in the castration palace, okay?"

Hearing this, Lin Qingyan nodded.

It's really chaotic outside now.

According to the time in the previous life, now should be the beginning of the open opposition between Prince Liang and Yang Li. Prince Liang, who has been secretly deploying his chess pieces, has already won over most of the people in the court.

Yang Li is only one step away from downfall... the right opportunity.

In the previous life, this opportunity was that Yang Li was exposed by his close confidants for plotting to usurp the throne. King Liang led people to search the eunuch palace and found irrefutable evidence...

Lin Qingyan didn't know who the confidant who exposed Yang Li was. She only knew that the news came from the palace, and it seemed that someone was deliberately concealing the identity of this confidant.

However, Lin Qingyan knew that after King Liang ascended the throne, a man from the common people rose rapidly to prominence and eventually became a high-ranking official on par with Yang Lineng.

This man had a simple origin and few people knew about his past, but he was indeed very capable. He had resolved many difficult state affairs several times through his memorials to the emperor, and was also very popular among the people. He and Yang Li were known as "Qingfeng Mingyue".

The former means "fresh breeze" and the latter means "bright moon", which means people with noble character.

Lin Qingyan knew the name of this "Qingfeng", which was Li Tong.

Someone once asked him how he would evaluate Yang Li after he was drunk, and he answered like this...

【Yang Li, who followed his own way, ended up being a dirty, rotten piece of wood. Is he a black crane? He has black feathers, so he is also a gray crane.】

This is one of the few evaluations of Yang Li in later generations that can be called "kind".

The general meaning is that he scolded Yang Li for being stubborn and eventually turned into a piece of dirty wood. He also said that Yang Li only had black feathers and could not be called a black crane. He was so arrogant that he dared to call himself a gray crane.

Although he was scolding Yang Li, he was more dissatisfied with his stubborn temper.

Thinking about it now, Lin Qingyan actually particularly agrees with his words "do your own thing", just do what is right for you without considering other people's opinions.

Yang Li is indeed a very stubborn person and is difficult to persuade.

She thought that Li Tong must be someone who was familiar with Yang Li, otherwise he wouldn't have made such an apt evaluation, instead of just following everyone else in heaping all kinds of insults on Yang Li.

Maybe this person is the man imprisoned in that room...

But soon Lin Qingyan shook her head again. The man inside was a mute, but Li Tong was not a mute, but an eloquent civil official.

"Yan'er, I know you have a lot of things you want to know, but can you please not be impatient? I will tell you everything you want to know after you give birth to the baby."

Yang Li couldn't help but sigh when he saw Lin Qingyan lying on the bed, still lost in thought.

He brought people back to the eunuch palace just to let her rest assured and wait for the birth, instead of worrying about anything else.

Lin Qingyan was called back to her senses by him, and after hearing his words, she used sign language to say:

[Okay, you can't lie to me. After I give birth to the child, you must answer my questions honestly.]

Now it was Yang Li's turn to nod obediently.

He thought that if he could still see at that time, he would.

Yang Li looked at the plum blossom hairpin on Lin Qingyan's head, but the plum blossom on it was so blurry that it could not be seen clearly.

"Take a good rest, I'm leaving first."

"I'll come and keep you company tonight."

After covering Lin Qingyan with the quilt, he left.

Lin Qingyan half leaned on the bed, looking at the door closed, feeling a little lost.

Although Yang Li just said that she would confess after she gave birth, time was running out. By the time she gave birth, it would be almost winter...

In his previous life, Yang Li died in this winter.

According to historical records, the reign title of Yong'an only existed for one year. After the death of the eunuch Yang Li, the King of Liang established another reign title the following year, changing it to Yongning.

So she really didn't have time, no time to wait for Yang Li to answer honestly.

Lin Qingyan knew very well that she had already wasted a lot of time in Yezhou. With Yang Li around, she couldn't help him clear his reputation even if she wanted to. This man didn't care about his reputation at all.

Now, she could only think of two people who could save Yang Li, one was Yang Li, and the other was King Liang Song Yunyan.

Yang Li is the most famous civil official of this generation in the Yang family. He has a close personal relationship with King Liang. If he still considers their blood relationship and is willing to create an opportunity for her to meet King Liang, she will be able to persuade King Liang not to kill Yang Li.

Previously in Yezhou, Lin Qingyan had collected enough evidence to prove Yang Li's innocence, and now all she needed was an opportunity to make it public.

However, Yang Li is still in Yezhou to deal with the aftermath and will not be back soon, so I have to wait here for a while.

And it was during this period of time.

Yang Li would only come to accompany Lin Qingyan at night and would not show up at other times. It was not that he did not want to take care of Lin Qingyan, but that he was no longer able to do so.

Lin Qingyan discovered that his eyesight was getting worse at an increasingly faster rate. After just one day of not seeing him, she could clearly feel that his vision had become blurrier.

If things continue at this increasingly fast pace, Lin Qingyan is not sure if Yang Li's gray eyes can last until the day the child is born and see the child he has been waiting for for so long.

In the ninth month of Lin Qingyan's pregnancy, Yang Li could no longer see Lin Qingyan's sign language and had no idea what she was signing.

As a result, the two were unable to communicate with each other and could only communicate normally with Wang Lian by their side to pass messages.

That night.

Lin Qingyan nestled in Yang Li's arms, listening to his calm voice, her tears wetting his gray undershirt bit by bit.

"It's okay, Yan'er."

"I can still feel the light and see where you are, so it's not too bad."

Yang Li touched her black hair and comforted her softly.

Under the light, his features seemed more gentle, but his grey eyes were still dull and lifeless.
