The shadow of the country

Wen Cheng was currently pruning flower branches in the courtyard outside his residence, when he suddenly saw two eunuchs hurrying over, dragging Mu Yan, who was seriously injured and fainted.Wen Cheng was startled, and quickly asked why.The two eunuchs clearly explained what had happened, sighed lightly, and then retreated.

Wen Cheng took Mu Yan, walked quickly back into the room, and gently laid him on the bed.Taking his wrist to check his pulse, his brows immediately frowned.When she saw the wound, she was really taken aback for a moment, she never thought that Su Yilan would let someone beat him so cruelly.But he had to treat his wound carefully.

Mu Yan woke up from a coma.He was drowsy and unconscious at first, but the medicinal wine stung his wound with needle-like pain, and he woke up from the pain again, subconsciously wanting to cower and dodge.

"Mu Yan, bear with it. If you're so injured, you have to take medicine..." Wen Cheng said softly, his movements even more gentle.

I don't know how long it took, and finally finished applying the medicine to Mu Yan with difficulty.After tossing and tossing for a long time and now it's noon, Mu Yan is still falling asleep like that.It was just because of the injury that he had a fever, his whole body was scorching hot, and his mind was also in a daze.

At this time, it was already three o'clock in the night.In Lan Ling Hall, Yi Lan stood silently in front of the bedroom window by herself, without lighting the lamp.Looking at the vast starry night outside the window, my heart is also full of apprehension.Mu Yan suffered such a serious injury, so he doesn't know what's going on now.

This morning, he deliberately arranged for Eunuch An to leave the arsenic-stained paper in the kitchen, and he had expected Mu Yan's reaction in this way, so that he could have an excuse to let him go out of the palace in a legitimate way.Even though he knew how difficult it is to withstand the imperial staff in the palace, twenty strokes would bruise the flesh, and fifty strokes would be enough to kill a person, but he had no choice but to go along with the guard and ordered the rod to punish him cruelly.Otherwise, how could Mu Yan be safe and sound outside the palace in the future?

Yi Lanfu stood silently in the darkness for a moment.In the end, the heartache and worry were higher than reason, and finally decided to take a look at Mu Yan.

At this time, a black shadow quickly flashed across the opposite eaves and moved towards Kunhe Palace (Queen's bedroom). The man was so agile that it was almost impossible to see clearly, so the guards on both sides didn't notice this. people.

However, Yi Lan could still feel the faint sound of the wind behind the man, but his expression was still as calm as water, not too surprised.The person who flew over the eaves is now his personal bodyguard.As expected, that person was indeed the eyeliner arranged by the queen to monitor him.Two months ago, Yilan found out that the guard would go to the queen to report the situation every other day at midnight.Thinking of this, Yi Lan couldn't help smiling slightly, the queen really couldn't hold back, the person who had just been bribed for a few days dared to be appointed like this.

Yi Lan still stood quietly in front of the window, she didn't chase the man, she just felt that he might have gone far away, and then flew out of the window, her movements were quick and her body was as light as a shadow.With just a few taps of the toes, he arrived at Wen Cheng's residence.Yi Lan knew that Mu Yan was living here during this period of time, so she gently pushed the door open and walked in, making a "squeak" sound.

"Who?" Wen Cheng was still changing the ice veil on Mu Yan's forehead repeatedly, and when he heard someone coming in, he immediately became alert.He turned his head and saw that it was Yi Lan, but he didn't kneel down to pay his respects, but continued to busy himself with the matter in hand, and said coldly to him: "What are you doing here?"

Yi Lan ignored Wen Cheng's disrespect, and said in a low voice, "I just came to see him."

"Since you hate him, why bother to see him now? What did he do wrong, and you beat him to death?" Wen Cheng raised his head and looked into Yi Lan's eyes coldly, regardless of anything The master and servant are humbled, which means chasing guests away.

Yi Lan closed her eyes and said softly: "He didn't do anything wrong, but I also have difficulties. Let me see him, I'm afraid it will be the last time."

Wen Cheng was a little startled, hearing Yilan's words didn't seem like an excuse to lie, and he couldn't ignore the distress and worry in his eyes.So he dropped the veil and walked out the door without saying a word.

At this moment, only Yi Lan and Mu Yan are left in the room.Mu Yan lay on the bed, still asleep.The silver-white moonlight shone on that thin and pale face, making it seem transparent.As soon as Yi Lan's fingertips touched his cheek, she felt the scorching heat on his skin.Yi Lan was startled, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, sighing secretly that he was injured so badly.

At this moment, Mu Yan trembled slightly, but before opening his eyes, he said softly, "Yilan?..."

Yi Lan was startled, he... how did he know he was here?After suffering such a severe beating, how dare you call him that...?Yi Lan then softly said: "It's me, I'm here to take a look at you."

Mu Yan didn't answer, but kept his eyes tightly closed.It was only then that Yi Lan realized that his sanity was not yet clear.He changed a cold handkerchief for Mu Yan and put it on his forehead, stood up again and took a last look at the man who was lying on the bed under the faint moonlight, and then walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.

"Let's go after reading it." Wen Cheng, who was sitting on the stone bench, said calmly to Yi Lan.

"Tomorrow, you and Mu Yan will go out of the palace, there will be a carriage at the gate of the palace to take you off. From now on, it's better not to come back..."

Seeing that Wen Cheng didn't say much, Yi Lan took out another bottle of good sore medicine and put it gently on the stone table, "From now on, please take good care of Mu Yan, thank you."

Wen Cheng nodded after listening.Only then did Yi Lan feel relieved, and flew towards the roof.But in a moment, it disappeared without a trace.

The next day, Mu Yan didn't wake up in a daze until the morning, his mind was still confused.He opened his eyes, only to find that Wen Cheng was not there.There was only breakfast and a note on the table, and a small bottle of gold sore medicine.Mu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately recognized that it was from Yi Lan.

Mu Yan walked over with difficulty and picked up the note.The delicate handwriting on the note read: "Mu Yan, leave the palace this afternoon, remember to have breakfast. Wen Cheng."

Mu Yan put down the note, feeling a little bitter in his heart, Yi Lan wanted to drive him away, there was really nothing he could do.He had heard Yilan's words yesterday, "I still have to drive him out of the palace after the fight", but he didn't expect to be in such a hurry.Putting down the note, he looked at the table full of food, but found that he didn't have any appetite.So with a sigh, he went to pack his luggage from the palace.

"Why did you pack up when you were still injured?" Wen Cheng just came back at this time, holding a bowl of freshly fried medicine in his hand.Seeing the table full of food, Mu Yan didn't move at all, and frowned, "What? Didn't you even eat breakfast?"

Mu Yan hesitated and said, "It's okay, I'm not hungry yet. By the way, was anyone here last night?..."

Wen Cheng was taken aback when he heard this, but soon returned to normal, and said calmly, "The fifth prince came here last night."

Mu Yan lowered his head and asked tentatively, "What did he... say?"

Wen Cheng shook his head, "I didn't say anything special. I just told me to take good care of you, and he also said that he also had difficulties. In my opinion, it's just an excuse, and the master's punishment is just a matter of one sentence. What's the point? Reasons why?"

After hearing this, Mu Yan was silent for a while, and only quietly lowered his head in thought.Seeing this, Wen Cheng comforted him and said, "Let's eat, don't worry too much, anyway, you can leave the palace today. After you recover from your injury, how about I take you around the capital?"

Mu Yan quickly covered it up, forced a smile, said "yes", then took the bowl and chopsticks from Wen Cheng, and silently ate.
