Chapter 45
After seeing Zhuo Ran back to the mansion that day, Li Yunchuan had a constant low fever, and even a few bowls of medicine didn't help. He even wondered if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

Xi Yu handed over a towel that had been soaked in cold water, and said, "Master, wipe it off."

Li Xunchuan put the handkerchief on his forehead and even covered his eyes. It was very cool and comfortable. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a hoarse voice: "If the matter in Liuzhou is not resolved, His Majesty will not easily send someone to help Peng Ge." , at most let him keep an eye on the person, and then do the investigation."

"Master, it's better not to worry about these things." Xi Yu brought the medicine bowl again, leaned in front of Li Yuchuan, and said, "Drinking the medicine is the real business."

Li Xunchuan waved his hand, the medicine was not very bitter, but he couldn't drink it when it reached his throat, and he refused to drink any more.Li Xunchuan sighed, sat up, and said, "Where are the pine nuts?"

Xi Yu looked out and said, "Master asked him to keep an eye on Si Ye, and he hasn't come back yet."

Li Xunchuan wrapped his robes and went out, turned his head and said: "The repair site on the school ground has been fixed, and you can report the records to the Ministry of Industry when you have time."

Seyu answered yes.

Zhuo Ran ran for a few blocks on the street, and Wu Song followed him all the time. He could remember exactly where Zhuo Ran went and bought what, but he just couldn't find a shortcut. No one was seen.

Today's rest, Zhuo Ran was supposed to go back to the Zuixue Court, but Chang Yike's matter has not been settled, and she almost forgot about it as soon as she walked around.When I remembered, I realized that someone was following behind.

Zhuo Ran sighed, it wasn't a day or two since this man followed him, she got used to it after a long time.Zhuo Ran saw the stall selling candied haws, she smiled, bought two, and turned her head to meet Wu Song's expectant expression.

Zhuo Ran tilted her head and said softly, "You've been with me for so long, let's eat something."

Wu Song stood on the spot and shook his head vigorously. He felt kind when he saw Zhuo Ran's smile, but it was very scary. Zhuo Ran didn't have such an expression, at least when he saw her recently.

Zhuo Ran walked over slowly, she stuffed a candied haws in Wu Song's hand, and said, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

"No, I'm not..." Wu Song pinched the thin wooden stick and said, "That's not what I meant."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Eat."

Wu Song swallowed, bit off one at a time, smiled at Zhuo Ran, and said, "Thank you...thank you, Sir Si Ye!"

Zhuo Ran turned around, Wu Song began to follow her, Zhuo Ran was also eating candied haws, she said, "Where is your master?"

Wu Song said: "Master is sick, he wants me to follow Mr. Si Ye, saying that he is afraid that Mr. Si Ye will be in danger."

"Sick?" Zhuo Ran sneered, she didn't believe that Li Yanchuan would be sick, Zhuo Ran smiled and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, he committed too many crimes on weekdays."

Wu Song didn't hear it, and just focused on eating.

"Xiaqiu!"

Zhuo Ran raised his head, and immediately changed his expression.She hurriedly put down her hand, stuffed the candied haws in her hand to Wu Song, and said in a low voice, "Go quickly, don't follow!"

Before Wu Song could react, Tanghulu looked up at Zhuo Ran, only to find that he had long since disappeared.

He finished chewing immediately and ran over quickly.

Yan Chengxuan led Zhuo Ran into the Wuhua Building, Qingxiang had made arrangements inside, and she greeted the two of them to the wing on the second floor.

Yan Chengxuan was sitting on the rattan chair, and several pretty girls rushed up, pinching legs, beating backs, feeding wine, Zhuo Ran stood there, a little embarrassed.

Yan Chengxuan narrowed his eyes, and he called out, "Ah Haruka!"

Qingxiang responded, pushed the door open and came in. Yan Chengxuan smiled and said, "Find some handsome men for Mr. Si Ye, wash them up and send them over. You can't neglect Mr. Si Ye, can you?"

Zhuo Ran smiled immediately, and said calmly: "Lord Yan is kind, Xiaqiu appreciates it, but..."

"Eh?" Yan Chengxuan patted his shoulder, indicating that this place has not been taken into account. He looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "This is wrong. Although you are a talented girl from Yongzhou, you still have to understand some of these romances. , I don’t lack anything in this charming building, you can enjoy yourself.”

Zhuo Ran didn't speak.

Yan Chengxuan waved his hands and said, "Haruka, let's go."

Haruka agreed, and immediately sent someone to make arrangements.

Zhuo Ran lowered her head, and she sat opposite Yan Chengxuan, slowly rubbing her fingers on the wine glass, her fingertips hurt slightly.

Yan Chengxuan said: "Wang Jitong went to look for you, right?"

Zhuo Ran raised her hand to salute, and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Second Young Master, for saving the siege. If it wasn't for Second Young Master, I'm afraid I'd have to go to the Ministry of Punishment."

Yan Chengxuan signaled that she didn't need to salute, and said, "In any case, you solved him, and I can't let anything happen to you."

The girls changed positions, Yan Chengxuan lay on the couch and closed his eyes comfortably, Zhuo Ran didn't move, just stared at Huaniang feeding Yan Chengxuan.

Yan Chengxuan smiled, stretched out his hand to raise the wine cup, and said, "Liao Ze is dead, Li Chengru is next."

Zhuo Ran came back to her senses, blinked her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master should know that Liao Ze and Li Chengru are nothing at all, and it doesn't matter to us what kind of status these two people can achieve. Now the Right Prime Minister and Your Majesty Sincerely, because of the incident in the school grounds, His Majesty is now extremely biased toward the Right Prime Minister, Second Young Master, the Left Prime Minister's House is going to be hard."

Yan Chengxuan was pinched very comfortably, and he was not afraid that these people would hear that Wuhualou originally belonged to his family, and whoever leaked the news would have to die.He seemed a little helpless, and said: "What can I do? You can be regarded as His Majesty's husband after all. He must be dedicated to His Majesty. There is nothing wrong with that."

Zhuo Ran smiled, and she said: "At present, the left minister is in charge of the documents of Gaodu, and it is not so easy to be suppressed by the right minister. The second young master does not have to be so negative. Besides, the six cities outside Gaodu are still there, and the rest of the prefectures in Zhongqu are still there. I will come to Gaodu soon to report on matters, Prime Minister Zuo has to do a good job in reception, there will be opportunities. Above the court is just a dispute between two factions, no matter how you say it, there is a chance of winning."

"Partisanship is the most annoying thing." Yan Chengxuan smacked his lips and said, "But, how can it be as easy as you said?"

Zhuo Ran suppressed the water in his eyes, and said: "The second young master should know that besides the inside of Zhongqu, Beili and Xiqi are also slowly expanding outward. If we really seize Beili and Xiqi, and given time, if Li Xunchuan and Ye Baiqi feel rebellious, then His Majesty will jump into the frying pan by himself."

"None of us can tell about this matter." Yan Chengxuan's expression slowly became serious, he thought for a while, and said: "The situation is changing, the internal affairs of Gaodu cannot be resolved quickly, and the external affairs cannot be dealt with. And , the outside world is in chaos, Gaodu will not be peaceful."

"Isn't your Majesty most afraid of Li Yanchuan?" Zhuo Ran said: "Li Yanchuan was appointed as a Marquis when he was young, and his official position could no longer be higher, but he came to the governor's words, and he was angry everywhere in Gaodu. Can you bear it?"

"By the way, I heard that Wu Xiuting went to make trouble with the Imperial Army that day, and Li Yanchuan was very angry." Yan Chengxuan suddenly remembered this, and he opened his mouth to smile, as if he really saw Li Yanchuan blowing his beard and staring, he said : "Do you know about this?"

Zhuo Ran shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Yan Chengxuan wished he could tell Zhuo Ran all about it. He sat up "badly", startled the girls, raised his hand to comfort them one by one, looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "Wu Xiuting said to check the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Army There was friction between the two commanders, and they started to quarrel. I also heard that at that time, Li Yuchuan ordered the two men to be punished, and sent them away in a good manner. Isn’t this the reason why you asked for leave a few days ago? when?"

Zhuo Ran realized it, no wonder Li Yuchuan was sad that day, it turned out to be because of this incident.However, how did Yan Chengxuan know that he had asked for leave.

Liu Yulin!
Zhuo Ran frowned slightly.

Yan Chengxuan lay back down again, and said: "Li Yanchuan's arrogance should be extinguished. Before, I thought that if he became a Habayashi guard, His Majesty would allow him to let him go. It seems that I really thought too much."

Zhuo Ran also smiled and said, "A bird in a cage can't fly away."

Yan Chengxuan said: "No matter how you say it, Li Yanchuan is also a ruthless character, he is a variable. Xiaqiu, you have to find a way to get him to go back to Beili as soon as possible, otherwise bad things will happen sooner or later."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyebrows and said, "Second Young Master, have you thought of a way?"

Just as Yan Chengxuan was about to say, Haruka had already started spreading the word outside the door.

Qingxiang knocked on the door slowly, and after Yan Chengxuan answered, she walked in with the two boys.

Young, born beautiful.Gaodu is lively, there are all kinds of people, there are men and women with different appearances, high-ranking officials and nobles are the best, Yan Chengxuan, as the representative of rich people in Gaodu, he still has some resources.

Zhuo Ran gasped, she couldn't help but squeeze the wine glass tightly, but her expression didn't change.Yan Chengxuan smiled and said, "Xiaqiu, see which one you like, and I'll send someone to your residence."

Zhuo Ran smiled dryly and said, "Second Young Master, they are too young."

"Small?" Yan Chengxuan frowned, looked at Zhuo Ran with a strange look, and said, "You...have never seen this before, how do you know they are too small?"

Zhuo Ran coughed twice, she tried to hold back the blush on her cheeks, and said, "Second Young Master misunderstood, I just think they are still young."

"Harm." Yan Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "Don't worry, they are all specially trained, don't worry."

Zhuo Ran sighed, not daring to look at those two people.

Yan Chengxuan snapped his fingers and said, "Why are you standing still, give Mr. Si Ye a shoulder squeeze."

"Yes." The two of them bent down and were about to come to Zhuo Ran.

Zhuo Ran dodged subconsciously, she hurriedly stood up, smiled, and said, "Don't...no need, I'm not tired."

Yan Chengxuan sighed, and said: "Xiaqiu, after all, he is a fourth-rank official, don't be shy, there will be more days in the future."

Only then did Zhuo Ran look up at the two people, her eyebrows were beautiful and her face was fair, except for the revealing clothes, everything else was fair.The two of them kept their heads down, and the etiquette was in place, but Zhuo Ran looked so awkward.

Yan Chengxuan pulled Zhuo Ran to sit down, and said, "Enjoy more, I don't want your money here."

The man's hands were fair and slender, with well-defined joints, and there was a smell of rouge and gouache when he approached it. Zhuo Ran coughed softly twice, and immediately offered a cup of tea with long eyes.

Zhuo Ran still didn't let anyone touch her, it was so disgusting.

Yan Chengxuan didn't make things difficult for him, and after sending him off, he said: "You have to get used to it, I will think about what we just said, and I will come to you again when I have a clue."

Zhuo Ran nodded and hurried out of Wuhualou.
