Hearing this, Ji Lengxue tightened her eyes, looked at the person in front of her, and suddenly asked: "What about you?"
Yun Yan was stunned and looked into those deep eyes. For some reason, there was a trace of complicated emotions in them. She raised her eyebrows and asked probingly: "What did you say?"
"No, I'm just curious about who you're going to meet!" Ji Lengxue turned away and said indifferently.
Is this it? Nodding, Yun Yan suddenly smiled and said, "I'll talk to you about this in detail later. I'll take the first step." As she said that, her figure flew away into the distance.
I don't know how long it took, but Ji Lengxue turned around and looked at the end of the night. Her figure had already disappeared. He raised his head slightly, and for a long time, he jumped down from the eaves.
royal palace, royal study
A black shadow suddenly appeared inside without knowing when, standing in the center of the room, not afraid of the person sitting above.
"It seems that you have come to settle some matters with me." There was no trace of surprise on Mu Yangtian's face. He sat on the dragon chair, supporting his head with one hand and leaning on the armrest with the other.
He glanced at the people below and said.
He casually pulled off the scarf covering his face, and his unparalleled handsome face was instantly revealed. Looking at Mu Yangtian, Yun Yan did not deny it. She said calmly: "I don't know what Princess Zhaoyang said to you.
, Although I have explained clearly the matter with Princess Zhaoyang, she seems to have been hit in her heart. If the emperor wants to put forward any conditions for this, I will not refuse!"
"Zhaoyang hasn't said a word since she came back. She has indeed suffered a bit of a blow, but it turns out that it is the Seventh Young Master who has brought all the business experience to me, it seems, more than once. Aren't you afraid that I will embarrass you?
"A smile appeared on Mu Yangtian's handsome face, without the slightest hint of displeasure. He sat upright, looked at Yun Yan and said. Where did he get the confidence that he would not accuse him?!
So, Princess Zhaoyang has not revealed her identity to Mu Yangtian? With a chuckle, Yunyan put his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows and said: "It's difficult for me? I don't think so. The emperor is a holy king, how can he be with me?"
What common sense do you have for a commoner like this? But I feel very guilty about Princess Zhaoyang, and I hope I can express my feelings."
"Oh, is this how heroes have been born since ancient times? When I was as old as you, I could only follow behind the late emperor, accompany him and listen to him. I didn't dare to say a word, because the more I said, the more mistakes he made."
Mu Yangtian suddenly raised his head and looked up, letting out a long sigh. His handsome face became more and more weathered, and he looked like he was filled with infinite emotion.
Yun Yan nodded slightly, tugged the corner of his mouth, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's respectful words are a sign of respect for the late Emperor, and a sign of diligent study of the art of governing the country. I am different. I come from the countryside, and people in the mountains are used to being free and easy.
Only in front of the emperor will you act arbitrarily. The emperor will not be surprised. It is because the emperor is magnanimous.
After hearing this, Mu Yangtian sighed, shook his head slightly, looked at the people below, and said with a smile: "I am getting older, and my ears are getting softer. I can't compare to you who are young and energetic, and do what you want.
Although I always hoped that you could become an official in the court, now I feel that this is quite good."
Raising his head, Yun Yan looked at Mu Yangtian in surprise. What did he mean by this? But he was right. He was really old. I don't know when the white hair on his cheeks started.
It has changed a lot, and looking at the color of his face, it is yellow with wax, this... She frowned, he was sick!
Thinking of this, Yun Yan raised his head and looked directly at Mu Yangtian and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I dare to take your pulse!"
Did he see it? Mu Yangtian smiled slightly and said, "I know my body well, so I won't bother the Seventh Young Master."
"Can the Emperor not trust me?" Yun Yan frowned deeply and said in a deep voice.
Shaking his head, Mu Yangtian leaned back on the chair, as if speaking to Yunyan, or muttering to himself, "The two things that a person must face in life are life and death, and death is the most important thing in this world."
Common sense cannot be changed." As he said that, he looked at her and said solemnly, "Seventh Young Master, you have superb medical skills, how many days do you think I can live?"
How many days can you live? Hearing this, Yun Yan was shocked and looked at Mu Yangtian in astonishment. She didn't expect that he would ask her this question. Isn't the matter of life and death the most taboo thing for the emperor? She couldn't see it.
I just hope I can check his pulse for further confirmation of his illness.
"The Emperor is naturally blessed with great blessings and a long life." Yun Yan lowered her head and said. She still couldn't see Mu Yangtian's intention, so she could only choose to act stupid.
Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Mu Yangtian's face. He sighed and said, "It seems that even you are not willing to tell me the truth."
So, does he know his condition clearly? Yunyan raised her head and looked at Mu Yangtian. He was calmer than expected. She lowered her voice and said: "The emperor already has concerns in his heart, so why bother asking me?
I heard that the emperor has been staying in the royal study these days to deal with political affairs. I would like to advise the emperor to take more rest, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, will you die?" Mu Yangtian said with a chuckle, but his tone was quite casual.
Hearing this, Yun Yan frowned and remained silent. He was right, he would die! The last time he came to see her, she didn't notice anything strange about him, or maybe he was hiding it.
, but this time, she felt that he was ten years older than before, and just from his appearance, the disease might have entered his liver and lungs.
"Actually, I have figured it out. Life and death are fateful. I am not afraid of this. But what I am afraid of is that if I die like this and leave behind this huge country, then the princes will fight and there will be another bloody storm. There are powerful forces outside.
The enemy is watching, there are constant disputes within, and I will not rest in peace even if I die. But, do I really have time? Do I have time to arrange everything properly?" Mu Yangtian raised his head, with an expression of infinite confusion.
color.
This is the first time she has seen Mu Yangtian showing such an expression. Is this the sadness of an emperor? He has spent his whole life worrying about this country and the people, but he cannot resist the cycle of life and death? But probably only a holy king would lament like this.
Bar.
"What do you mean when Your Majesty and I say this to you? Although I cannot change the current political situation, I can promise that if another country invades in the future, I will definitely help you with food, grass and money. This can be regarded as a sign of gratitude to Princess Zhaoyang.
Compensation for what happened." Yun Yan said with calm eyes.
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Yangtian whispered: "I don't blame you for what happened in Zhaoyang, and that's not what I want to tell you. I want to ask you, among my sons, which one do you think is worthy of the responsibility?"
Important responsibility!" After saying this, his eyes instantly became sharp, staring at the black figure below.
Yun Yan's heart sank. What did Mu Yangtian mean by this? Asking for her opinion? Or was he guarding her? Her thoughts were changing, but after a moment, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. She had never held an official position in this court.
She was working half-time and had never had any personal relationships with any officials, so it was unnecessary for him to guard her.
"How can such important national affairs be discussed by ordinary people here? I hope the emperor will not embarrass me." Yun Yan said calmly.
After staring at Yun Yan for a long time, Mu Yangtian finally withdrew his gaze, smiled, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
Looking up at the man on the seat, Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was fearless, she didn't feel that she was very powerful in front of Mu Yangtian. This was probably the so-called power of an emperor.
Bar.
"Did you remember what I told you when you first came to see me?" After who knows how long, Mu Yangtian suddenly said to Yun Yan.
Yun Yan came back to her senses and looked at Mu Yangtian in surprise. It seemed that when he came last time, he also asked her this question, about that thing? The last time he asked her, she did not remember it.
But now, I don’t know why, but I have some impression.
"The emperor said at that time that as long as I achieve that thing, you will make a promise to me as before. As long as I ask for anything in the future, you will definitely agree." Yun Yan recounted, but his eyebrows were slightly stained.
With a solemn expression, she could not see through this person more and more. His likes and dislikes were indeed different from what ordinary people thought.
Nodding, Mu Yangtian suddenly took out an imperial edict from somewhere, put it on the table, looked at Yun Yan and said: "This is the edict I gave you, it can be said to be the same as a gold medal for immunity from death. Take it.
Bar!"
"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to use this holy edict." Yun Yan immediately refused and said.
After hearing this, Mu Yangtian's eyes darkened and he said, "So, you are not willing to agree to me?"
Shaking his head slightly, Yun Yan's eyes gleamed slightly and he said: "No, I can promise you, but I don't want this imperial edict."
"Why?" Mu Yangtian looked at Yun Yan with a little surprise. Did he really not be tempted by this imperial edict? Many people couldn't get it even if they wanted it.
With a chuckle, Yun Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "First, I have always been curious about some unknown things. I want to read more to see where the source of this story is. Second, even if you don't tell me, I will do the same. This
It’s something I’m willing to do!”
"So, our transaction this time has failed?" Mu Yangtian seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile.
Yunyan nodded. She always paid attention to transactions, because if it was a transaction, she would not have to show her sincerity. But if it was something she really wanted to do, if it had anything to do with the transaction, she would lose her sincerity.
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will retire." Yun Yan suddenly saluted Mu Yangtian and said.
Mu Yangtian nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go."
Turning around, Yun Yan walked directly towards the door. However, from behind, a deep voice sounded, "You know? Your eyes are very similar to hers!"
After hearing this, Yun Yan's expression froze, she stopped, and looked at the person behind her in surprise. He was also looking at her, with a smile on his face, as gentle as the spring breeze in March.
