Man Yanbing

I promised to see you tomorrow, but I couldn't see you after all.

Dou Yan looked at the empty seats and sat quietly about his own business.

It wasn't until after school that he went to look for Dr. Zhang and asked Liu Chiyan if he had asked for leave.

Now that there is a lot of turmoil in the court, Dr. Zhang and the noble officials who work in the Imperial Academy are also worried.

Seeing Dou Yan coming over to ask about Liu Chiyan's situation, Dr. Zhang paused for a moment before saying, "I asked for leave."

It's just that people from Youwang's mansion came to invite him, saying that Liu Chiyan was sick and couldn't come.

This is not the first time that King You sent someone over. The person who came had no intention of concealing his identity, and even told everyone that Liu Chiyan had a close relationship with King You.

They still like the student Liu Chiyan very much, but they still feel a little uncomfortable when they think of King You's temperament and reputation.

Now that the crown prince's status is dangerous, the next few princes may be caught in a struggle. It is not a good thing for Liu Chiyan to have close contacts with King You.

Dou Yan is also a beloved student of the doctors. Seeing his worried face, Dr. Zhang said: "Don't worry, it's not a serious illness, just rest for two days and you'll be fine."

Dou Yan nodded, went home to have dinner with his family, looked at the smiling faces of his mother and younger sisters, and looked at the gradually darkening night outside, but finally did not leave the house.He knew where Liu Chiyan was, and knew that Liu Chiyan might be suffering, but he still had family members who needed him to take care of him, so he had to go to Prince You's Mansion to find someone desperately.

"Son, do you have something on your mind?" Dou's mother couldn't help but stepped forward to care when she saw Dou Yan kept looking out.

"No." Dou Yan quickly denied.

"You still said no, look at your frown." Mother Dou said, "I don't blame your father for something wrong, because he is an indomitable hero. If you encounter any embarrassing things, don't worry about my relationship with you." My little sister, if I raise you up, I will naturally raise them up too, mother hopes that you will never regret anything and be an upright person all your life."

Listening to his mother's gentle consolation, Dou Yan thought of the Youwang Mansion, which was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.Even if he hesitated like this, others would dare not care about Liu Chiyan's life or death.

Dou Yan stood up.

"Mom, I'm going out for a while."

Mother Dou nodded and leaned on the door to watch him walk into the night.

Dou Yan came to Youwang's mansion, saw that the gate of the mansion was heavily guarded, and went forward to report that he wanted to visit Liu Chiyan.

He was still holding the candied fruit he bought on the road, and he looked like he was visiting someone sick.

The guards guarding the gate of the mansion looked at each other and said, "Wait a moment."

Dou Yan stood where he was, waiting for the guards to pass the message.

King You was just finishing feeding Liu Chiyan the medicine with a sullen face, when he heard that Dou Yan came to visit the sick, he sat on the edge and pinched Liu Chiyan's slender wrist for a while, saying in his mouth: "Look at you! You are so sick that all your classmates hurried over. Listen, it's that Dou Yan again. You two have such a good relationship. Do you want to go see him?

Liu Chiyan had been in a daze all day, and only now did he become more conscious.When he heard that King You said that Dou Yan was coming, he was startled, and then said: "I want to meet him so that he can prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

King You looked gloomy.

If he had followed his heart, he would have peeled off Dou Yan's skin and brought it up for Liu Chiyan to meet.

But today he tied up the great monk who taught Liu Chengzhou to suppress Shaqu, and asked the great monk why his own illness did not recur on time.

The great monk looked at him for a long time, but he didn't know what he saw, so he said to him in a vague way, "some people are not afraid of losing their souls, but they are afraid of hurting their loved ones" and other sour words.

After speaking, he ran away.

You Wang thought about it, and somehow felt that the "some people" that the great monk was talking about must be the evil spirit.

As for the sweetheart, let alone Liu Chiyan.

From this point of view, it is true that every time Liu Chiyan hurts his heart, the evil spirit will come out and snatch his body at the risk of losing his soul.

We must know that when Liu Chiyan encountered a fire, the evil spirit forcefully dragged the ignorant Liu Chiyan into this world of books in order to protect Liu Chiyan's soul and give Liu Chiyan a chance of survival.

Now Liu Chiyan's soul is unscathed, but his own vitality is seriously injured.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, a "book man", to see the secret.

King You wanted to use Liu Chiyan to lure the evil spirit out a few more times, and asked Liu Chiyan to let the evil spirit fly away, but he thought of Liu Chiyan lying on the bed in a daze during the day, and let him suppress the last Fits his temper ideas.

Liu Chiyan's physical condition couldn't stand the toss, and after a few more visits, his soul might really return to the west.

The evil spirit could still follow Liu Chiyan after death, but he had no way to heaven or earth.If the evil spirit was not killed, but Liu Chiyan was sent to reunite with him, wouldn't it be the same as sending Liu Chiyan to him for nothing?

Seeing that Liu Chiyan still cared about Dou Yan as a friend, King You laughed.It's good to have someone who cares, the more you care, the easier it is to handle, not afraid that he won't be obedient.

King You hugged Liu Chiyan up, and it was rare to be kind enough to meet Liu Chiyan's request: "Okay, I'll ask someone to take him to wait." As he spoke, he asked someone to bring Liu Chiyan's clothes up, and gave them to him personally. Liu Chiyan put it on and asked again, "Can I walk by myself? How about I carry you there?"

Without even thinking about it, Liu Chiyan replied: "I can walk." He fell into a coma for a day, was forced to drink medicine twice, and his energy was much better.After getting off the ground, he walked a few steps, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he went to talk to Dou Yan.

King You stretched out his hand to take him back into his arms.

Liu Chiyan paused.

King You kissed his lip that was bitten off yesterday.

The wound on Liu Chiyan's mouth was affected by this kiss again, and his body trembled slightly in pain.

"Remember who you are." King You warned, "If there is any transgression between you, don't blame me for being rude-if you like the article he wrote, I will let you know what he wrote. If you like his knowledge and speech, this king will pick out his eyes and give you them."

Liu Chiyan said in a hoarse voice, "We are just classmates and friends."

King You laughed softly: "Since you are innocent, then you don't have to worry about anything."

But who knew that in the eyes of You Wang, the ordinary communication would be an act of transgression?Liu Chiyan wanted to continue distinguishing, but in the end he could only ask: "Can I go out?"

King You let go of him, watching Liu Chiyan walk out with an unpredictable expression.

When Liu Chiyan walked outside the door, his back was as straight as ever.He nodded slightly to the guards and servants of the palace who met him, and he seemed to be a dignified and handsome young master, not a confinement that King You raised in the palace.

Soon, Liu Chiyan walked to the flower hall where the guests were received.

Dou Yan had been waiting for quite a while, seeing Liu Chiyan stepping in, seeing that his expression was normal, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I made you worry." Liu Chiyan apologized, sat down and poured a cup of tea for Dou Yan himself, "I have nothing to do, I can go back to the Imperial College tomorrow."

Dou Yan looked at Liu Chiyan who was sitting closer.

Having been ill for a while, Liu Chiyan looked sickly and haggard.It's just that he seems to fall down when the wind blows, but his heart is extremely firm, so after resting for a whole day, his eyes regained the usual vigor and spirit.

It's just that there are still some bruises on his neck that cannot be concealed, and there seems to be a wound on his lip.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see what King You had done to him.

"These days, the doctors have no intention of giving lectures. They didn't talk about anything important. They just asked us to study quietly." Dou Yan said, "It's okay for you to rest for two more days. Don't rush back to the Imperial College. If there is anything important, I will write it down for you. That's it."

Liu Chiyan was originally holding on to see Dou Yan, but hearing that Dou Yan obviously wanted to cover up for him, he couldn't hold on anymore.He lowered his eyelashes and asked, "Is it obvious?"

Seeing Liu Chiyan's appearance, Dou Yan suddenly became dumb.

Since ancient times, scholars have disdained to be friends with each other. If the relationship between Liu Chiyan and King You was known by others, King You must not care, but Liu Chiyan is destined to be cast aside by everyone.

Before Dou Yan could figure out how to comfort Liu Chiyan, Liu Chiyan had already smiled at him: "No matter what, it's enough for you to recognize me as a friend."

The reason why he was worried about being discovered by Dou Yan and the others was because he didn't want to lose his friend Dou Yan.

Now seeing Dou Yan racking his brains to comfort him, his heart settled down.

Liu Chiyan said softly, "People like me don't have many friends."

Dou Yan said: "You are very good, everyone likes you very much, don't belittle yourself like this."

Liu Chiyan said: "Then I'll rest for two more days, and you can ask Dr. Zhang for leave." He paused, remembering King You's malicious warning, and urged with a smile, "It's getting late, you're early!" Go back soon, don't let the aunt and the others worry."

Dou Yan saw that Liu Chiyan's expression was relaxed, and he didn't seem to be reluctant, so he got up and said, "Okay, I'll go back first." He pushed the candied fruit he bought on the way in front of Liu Chiyan, "This candied fruit is not famous, but it's very good Eat it, neighbors love to buy it, you can use it to deliver medicine.”

Liu Chiyan sat where he was and waited for Dou Yan to leave before taking a sip of the tea in front of him.

The tea was a little cold, and the taste was very bitter.

He took two more sips.

Bitterness spread in the mouth.

Liu Chiyan opened the candied fruit that Dou Yan brought, took a piece into his mouth, chewed it lightly twice, the sweet fruity aroma drove away the bitterness completely.

so sweet.

There are always more good things than bad things in this world.

King You was dealing with business in the study, and someone came to give a detailed report on the meeting between the two.Knowing that Liu Chiyan liked the preserved fruit sent by Dou Yan, he frowned, and casually ordered: "Ask someone to buy all the preserved fruit from that store. He can eat whatever he wants."

It's just a pack of preserved fruit, what's so rare?

If there wasn't something else to discuss, he would throw that thing away now!

When the work was over, You Wang remembered that someone had said earlier that Liu Chengzhou wanted to see Liu Chiyan and knelt outside for a long time.

King You sent away all his subordinates and asked Liu Chengzhou to be brought over for questioning.

Mainly to ask if the Liu family is too poor to eat.

Liu Chengzhou was slightly stunned, and said: "No, my brother has changed a group of stewards. This year, the mansion has a lot more money. This month, the servants in the mansion have been given a monthly fee."

King You looked gloomy.

Since the Liu family is not short of money, what is Liu Chiyan doing to sell words?Liu Chiyan's appearance of always pretending to be indifferent flashed in King You's mind, and he immediately understood: in the final analysis, it was Liu Chiyan's lofty spirit that caused the trouble. He didn't think he was a member of the Liu family. He didn't want to live on Liu's mother's dowry.

With his temperament, no matter how much money was given to him, he would not spend it.

It's troublesome enough.

Seeing King You's silence for a long time, Liu Chengzhou felt a little uneasy, fearing that he might hurt Liu Chiyan by saying something wrong.He stammered and asked, "Your Highness, can I go and see my brother?"

King You directly vetoed it: "Impossible." He ordered outside, "Come here, send Second Young Master Liu back to the residence."

This boy with one mouthful and one brother is really an eyesore.

Even if this kid knelt and broke his leg outside, he wouldn't say a word to Liu Chiyan, which just increased the weight of this kid in Liu Chiyan's heart!

The two of them were not very close brothers, it was enough for this kid to be a concubine who was hated by Liu Chiyan.
