Ye Zi's face was blushing.

"Wang, lord..." Ye Zi was so nervous that his tongue was tied up, he subconsciously wanted to get up, but was hugged even tighter by Gu Yan.

Gu Yan buried him in his neck and whispered: "Don't move, I just want to hug you."

For the upcoming parting, not only Ye Zi felt uncomfortable, but Gu Yan even more.It took him so much effort to get along with his little concubine for such a short time, and for him to leave now, he felt no less reluctance than Ye Zi.

Ye Zi realized this, and stopped struggling.

But Gu Yan really didn't do anything to him, and continued to read the file on the desk with full concentration.After more than half a year of disaster treatment, Gu Yan had to read all the county and county materials, disaster and treatment process, and the situation of local disasters in the past, all within these two days.

Prince Rui had been idle for many years, this was the first time he was so busy with affairs.

Ye Zi blushed and obediently was hugged in his arms, not daring to move.

The kiss just now made him a little emotional, but seeing Gu Yan's appearance, he didn't dare to disturb him anymore.

Gu Yan stood still on the surface, meticulously annotating on the file, but only Ye Zi knew that the heat he felt under his body never disappeared.The two stalemate for quite a while, and when Gu Yan finished annotating the third dossier, Ye Zi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Ye Zi moved her waist lightly, and was immediately glared at by Gu Yan: "Don't move around."

There was a layer of steam in Ye Zi's eyes, and he felt that he was going to be cooked by the heat.At this point, Ye Zi couldn't see that this person was just bullying him.

Ye Zi was silent for a while, then said softly, "Zi Cheng, does our agreement in today's martial arts competition still count?"

They had an agreement before today's competition, if anyone wins, he can make a request to the other side, and the other side has to agree.

Gu Yan looked down at him and said with a smile, "Of course it counts. Why, have you decided what you want?"

Ye Zi lowered her head in embarrassment.

He thought about what he had seen in the storybook, and then he stretched out his hand and pressed directly on the place that made him feel uneasy.

Gu Yan's breath stagnates.

Gu Yan only wanted to tease Ye Zi, but he didn't expect him to be able to do this.That's not all, Ye Zi observed his reaction, seeing that he didn't show any anger, she moved her trembling fingers a few times.

Gu Yan couldn't bear it anymore, he took Ye Zi's hand and looked at him warningly: "A Zi, don't mess around."

Ye Zi was waiting for this moment.Taking advantage of Gu Yan's slack timing, Ye Zi slid out of his arms.But Ye Zi didn't take the opportunity to escape, but lowered his head and lifted the silk cloth on the table, bent down and hid inside.

Ye Zi knelt down in front of Gu Yan, lifted the silk cloth and looked up at him, his fingers trembling with nervousness: "Then you promise me, no matter what I do for a while, you are not allowed to move."

Gu Yan's expression changed completely.

It was dark, and the candles in the study gradually dimmed.The maidservant who guarded the courtyard fetched lamp oil and knocked on the door of the study.Explaining her purpose, she waited for a while before hearing Gu Yan's lowered voice: "...Come in."

His lord's voice was a little hoarse, and the maid turned her head in doubt, and pushed the door open.

Gu Yan was the only one in the room.The maid walked to the desk to add oil, observed the man's expression through the dim light, and asked, "Is the prince not feeling well, do you need a servant to call for a doctor?"

Gu Yan closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "...No need, let's go down."

The maidservant responded without further words, turned her head and closed the door and went out.When she stepped out of the room, she suddenly remembered, didn't Princess Rui enter the study earlier, when did she leave, why didn't she see it?

The study returned to silence, and Gu Yan suddenly said: "Everyone is gone, come out soon."

The silk cloth under the table moved, and Ye Zi crawled out with a red face.The moisture in his eyes has not yet dissipated, his lips are a little unnaturally red, and the corners of his lips seem to be worn out.

Ye Zi slowly crawled into Gu Yan's arms, put her head on Gu Yan's chest, and after a while, said aggrievedly: "You are too much."

His voice was too hoarse, and his breath was like a gossamer.

Gu Yan took a deep breath impatiently, stretched out his hand to stroke his lips, and said in a deep voice, "Who was the one who went too far?"

Ye Zi turned her head to hide for a while, pursed her frayed lips, and was so wronged that she couldn't speak.

It's really embarrassing to do this kind of thing in the study.

But how did he know in advance that someone would come in suddenly, and when he heard the knock on the door, he was so frightened that his heart stopped suddenly.What he didn't expect was that Gu Yan actually let the maid into the door.

What if someone finds out——

Ye Zi's face became even hotter, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore, and buried herself in Gu Yan's arms and said in a low voice: "...the throat hurts."

Hearing what he said, the evil fire in Gu Yan's heart became even worse.But thinking about how badly he treated him just now, he didn't dare to do anything more to this person, so he poured him a cup of tea patiently: "Drink some tea, soothe your throat."

Ye Zi responded lightly, and took a sip from Gu Yan's hand.

The temperature of the tea is suitable, but Ye Zi's throat hurts badly, and the hot tea feels like it's burning in his throat, so he refuses to drink any more after taking a sip.

Gu Yan hugged the man in his arms and noticed that the breath of the man in his arms gradually calmed down, so he asked, "Where did you learn these crooked things?"

As soon as he said that, he immediately remembered that Ye Zi was caught peeking at the script in the study not long ago.

At that time, he still thought that Ye Zi wanted to do that kind of thing, but he was too embarrassed to ask him, so he went to peek at the script.

These days, Gu Yan deliberately left him alone, just to force him to be impatient and come to him on his own initiative.

But who knows, this person is actually for...

"Don't ask..." Ye Zi's eyes were full of water vapor, as if he was extremely tired, he complained weakly, "If I had known that this matter is so tiring, I would not have done it with you. Obviously it said it was very comfortable... "

Gu Yan deliberately asked: "Where did you say that?"

Ye Zi didn't speak again.

Gu Yan was too lazy to pretend to be with him anymore, and said directly: "Tomorrow I will throw away all those scripts, and you are not allowed to read them again."

Ye Zi was startled: "How do you know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Gu Yan looked down at him, with a smile that was not a smile: "Stop calling yourself?"

Ye Zi didn't dare to say anything more, hugged Gu Yan tightly, and rubbed against his neck flatteringly.

Gu Yan gently stroked his back and asked, "Tell me, why do you want to do this?"

Ye Zi hesitated for a long time before saying truthfully: "If a couple from an ordinary family can't have intercourse for a long time, their relationship will inevitably be bad. I'm just afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yan asked in a low voice: "Afraid that my feelings for you are not as good as before? So you just found a story book and learned these messy things to please me?"

Ye Zi pressed her head to Gu Yan's chest embarrassingly, and nodded slightly after a while.

"You are really..." Gu Yan felt distressed and funny at the same time, lifted him out of his arms, and kissed him involuntarily.

Gu Yan trapped Ye Zi in his arms, and kissed tenderly and delicately.Ye Zi was so full of kisses that her throat didn't even hurt so much anymore.

After a while, Gu Yan let him go.

The distance between the two is still very close, so close that they can touch each other with just one mouth.Gu Yan pecked Ye Zi's lips lightly, and said, "A Zi, when I said I would punish you, most of it was just to scare you, and I never really did anything to you."

Ye Zi felt a bit of danger from his tone, and subconsciously wanted to hide, but was forcefully pulled back.

Gu Yan bit his lips lightly to vent his anger, and continued: "If you do this again, I will really punish you, severely punish you."

Ye Zi trembled all over.

Gu Yan stepped back a few minutes, looked at him helplessly, and sighed: "Do you want me to punish you severely once, until you cry, so that you can believe my love for you?"

Ye Zi was so forced to speak that he couldn't speak.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Gu Yan's intentions, it's just that he likes this person so much, he likes him cautiously and cares about gains and losses.It is precisely because of this that he is worried that one day Gu Yan will not like him that much, and even if that feeling is lost, he will not be able to bear it.

After all, he felt that the contribution between himself and Gu Yan was unequal.

Gu Yan really paid too much for him.

To live a new life, how much strength does Gu Yan have to use to support himself until now, and fall in love with him again.

And what about him?

He completely forgot about the past between them, lived heartlessly until now, and is still accepting this person's kindness to him without guilt.

Ye Zi paused for a long time, then suddenly said: "Zi Cheng, you misunderstood me."

"...I don't believe you, not at all." Ye Zi hugged Gu Yan, and said slowly, "I'm afraid you won't feel my liking for you. I can't do anything for you, but you do it for I have done too many things, I... just think about how to compensate you. You said earlier that you want to treat me better, and I do the same. "

Ye Zi closed his eyes, and said softly: "You said earlier that I have selfishness, and I really do. Moreover, I am not only selfish, but also extremely greedy. I want you to miss me forever, and never forget my love. Well, I want you to always have only me in your heart, and nothing else can get in."

Gu Yan's heart skipped a beat twice, he closed his eyes impatiently, and restrained himself: "Okay, don't talk any more."

Ye Zi looked up at him: "What?"

Gu Yan's hand slowly rubbed Ye Zi's waist, and said, "If you go on, I really..."

He paused for a while, and said with a smile: "If I do something to you tonight, can you still bear it?"

Ye Zi understood what he meant, her face became hot, and she said awkwardly: "I, how can I be so weak."

Gu Yan sighed helplessly: "Even if you can bear it, I can't bear it either."

"Azi, I'm leaving, why do you want to recruit me at this time?" Gu Yan kissed him lightly on the forehead, and said very sadly, "If I really do something with you, how can I be willing to do it?" Leaving you."

How could he, who had tasted the most delicious taste in the world, leave this person with peace of mind and go to such a far place.

Ye Zi blushed, and stammered, "Then...then I'll wait for you to come back, and we'll..."

Gu Yan's eyes lit up: "Is this what you said?"

Ye Zi nodded: "Mmm..."

Gu Yan stroked his hair in satisfaction, and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Ye Zi refused to leave and insisted, "I'll stay here with you."

Gu Yan also wanted to stay with him for a while, but he didn't refuse.

The two stopped talking, and there was only the sound of pages turning in the room.

Ye Zi leaned on Gu Yan's shoulder and accompanied him to organize the files.There is no longer any charming atmosphere between the two, they just stay together quietly and enjoy this last time together.

Two days later, Gu Yan left Chang'an and headed for the south of the Yangtze River along with Jing and the disaster relief censor sent by Dixin.

Although Ye Zi was reluctant to give up in every possible way, he could only stay in Chang'an, diverting his attention by teaching Gu Xu martial arts every day.In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, Ye Zi finally received a message from Gu Yan.

Gu Yan and his party traveled by water, and it took ten days on the road to reach Jiangnan.

The letter sent by Gu Yan changed from his usual neat temperament, he babbled about a lot of things he had seen and heard along the way, and asked about Ye Zi's recent situation in detail.

Ye Zi carefully read the letter several times, the more he read it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

This feeling was more difficult than he had expected in the past.

But what was even more difficult was that after that, he never received a letter from Gu Yan again.

"Sister-in-law, why are you distracted again?" A childish voice sounded beside Ye Zi.

Ye Zi came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's okay."

Originally, Gu Xu wanted to call Master Ye Zi, although it was a bit impolite, but Ye Zi didn't think there was much inappropriate.But ever since Gu Yan made such a fuss, Ye Zi felt uncomfortable hearing these two words, and ordered Gu Xu not to call him that from the next day.

Ye Zi sat at the stone table in the courtyard, raised his head, and Gu Xu ran towards him with a wooden sword in his hand.

In the past half a month or so, Gu Xu has made rapid progress. He has learned all the basic skills that Ye Zi taught him, and he has also learned a set of basic sword moves.Gu Xu pestered him to learn new ones, but Ye Zi was afraid that he would rush forward, and after teaching the most basic set of sword moves, he didn't continue to teach them.

In order to appease Gu Xu, Ye Zi had no choice but to help him sharpen a wooden sword so that he could swing it normally.

Gu Xu squatted beside Ye Zi, looked up at him: "Is my sister-in-law missing my cousin?"

Ye Zi poked his forehead: "You're a big kid, what do you know?"

Gu Xu rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "I understand. In the past, when the concubine mother was alone in the palace, she missed the emperor like this. A Xu has observed that every time the concubine mother misses the emperor, she always sighs. With the effort of a cup of tea, I can sigh seven or eight times. The sister-in-law has more, more than ten times."

Ye Zi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with a stern face, "I told you to practice your sword hard, but you are here counting how many times I sighed. Ah Xu, do you want to be punished to stand on your head again?"

Gu Xu shrank his neck and said, "I don't want to, please don't punish me, sister-in-law."

Gu Xu said again: "But I have already learned everything my sister-in-law taught me. Can my sister-in-law really teach me something new?"

Ye Zi shook his head: "Learning martial arts is one of the worst things to be eager for quick success, especially since you are currently learning the most basic martial art of movement, so you can't slack off at all. That's what martial arts is like, you have to practice it day after day, year after year, and it's boring. Very good. Why, do you regret it now?"

Gu Xu said: "How can you regret it? Just practice and I will definitely do well."

The two were talking, and the servant led them into the yard.

It was Gu Xing and the little gray bird.

Ye Zi was startled, sent the servant away, and said, "Queer, long time no see."

The little gray bird walked up to Ye Zi, and sat down beside him unceremoniously: "Yes, yes. It's all my fault for not letting me out of the palace for so long. Today, I was angry with him, and he was willing to take me away." from."

Gu Xing glanced at him helplessly, and said hello to Ye Zi: "Sister-in-law, how are you doing recently?"

Ye Zi nodded, and heard the little gray sparrow say again: "Hey, is this Ah Xun's younger brother? He doesn't look like Ah Xun at all."

Gu Xu timidly hid behind Ye Zi, first obediently called "Brother Three Emperors", and then asked ignorantly, "Is this the emperor's wife?"

Ye Zi was at a loss for words, but the little gray sparrow said solemnly: "I'm not the emperor's wife, I'm Ah Xun's husband. Hey, but if that's the case, what should you call me..."

Ye Zi: "..."

Gu Xun: "..."

Gu Xing supported his forehead: "Queer, don't talk nonsense."

The little gray bird looked at him in disbelief, and said in disbelief: "Just now in the palace, you clearly promised me to be your husband-in-law, and you called me several times, how can you play tricks!"

Gu Xun's face suddenly became very exciting.

Ye Zi hurriedly cleared his throat, and interrupted: "Okay, Que'er, it's rare for you to come to see me, so don't talk about it. Third Highness, please sit down."

The little gray bird stared at Gu Xing, and said angrily: "I'll deal with you when I go back."

Gu Xun glanced at him calmly, and said calmly: "Okay, let's talk when we go back."

Ye Zi saw the interaction between the two of them in his heart, and couldn't help but sweat for the little gray bird.

Poor little silly bird, who doesn't know that he is about to face a catastrophe.

Several people sat in the courtyard drinking tea.

After a long while, Gu Xun suddenly asked: "Cousin sister-in-law, is there any news about my cousin these few days?"

Ye Zi shook his head, and said truthfully, "I received a letter from him some time ago, but it has disappeared in the past few days. Maybe it's because there are too many affairs there. What's the matter?"

Gu Xing lowered his eyes, with a look of sadness on his brows: "In the past two days, news has come from Jiangnan that some counties and counties have set off some kind of incurable disease. Does my sister-in-law know about this?"

Ever since Gu Yan left, Ye Zi has been honestly staying in the palace every day, not asking for news from outside.

However, there will be a plague spreading in the south of the Yangtze River. Gu Yan mentioned it to Ye Zi before, so he was not too surprised, but said: "I don't know."

Gu Xun said again: "I heard that a certain city where the plague was spreading happened to be not far from the place where the disaster relief envoy and his party stayed. My cousin brought people in to try to save the people there."

Ye Zi's heart skipped a beat, with a vague premonition.

Ye Zi asked hoarsely, "And then?"

Gu Xun sighed softly, shook his head and said, "I don't know if the source of the news is accurate. I heard from them that my cousin... seems to have been infected with the plague as well."

Ye Zi shook his hand, and the hot tea in the cup spilled out and splashed on the back of his hand.

"Little Ye Zi! Be careful." Little Grayfinch hastily snatched the teacup in his hand, and wiped the tea on his hand with his sleeve.

A small red mark appeared on his fair skin, but Ye Zi seemed to feel no pain at all, and said in a daze, "No, he brought so many people there, and there is a doctor by his side, so it doesn't make sense Can't prevent the epidemic."

Gu Xun responded, and hurriedly comforted him: "Yes, my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much. The sky is high and the road is far away, maybe it's not necessarily because the news is wrong. I'll ask someone to inquire after I go back. There is new news. I will come and tell my cousin immediately."

Ye Zi lowered her eyes and said, "Okay."

Everyone sat down for a while, but Ye Zi had no intention of entertaining them anymore.Gu Xing saw what was on his mind, and took the lead in pulling the little gray bird to say goodbye to him.

Before leaving, Gu Jun said to Ye Zi: "I understand that my cousin is worried about my cousin's safety, and I also know the deep meaning of my father's keeping my cousin in Chang'an. My cousin has helped me a lot before. If my cousin is in need, as long as my cousin Trust me, I will do my best to help.”

When Gu Xun left, he brought Gu Xu back to the palace.

After sending them away, Ye Zi fidgeted in the palace for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and asked someone to prepare a carriage and go out of the city.

Ye Zi got out of the car and walked for a while, and saw the small courtyard deep in the bamboo forest.Pei Wan'er was drying herbs in the yard.

Seeing Ye Zi approaching, Pei Wan'er hurried up to greet her: "Why is Princess Rui here today? Is she here to see Sister Wen? She is taking a nap, do you want me to call her?"

Ye Zi's face turned pale, and she shook her head: "No need, I'm here to find Miss Wan'er."

Pei Wan'er hurriedly led Ye Zi to sit down in the courtyard, looked at his face, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with the princess, why is her face so bad?"

Ye Zi took a sip of tea before calming down a little: "I'm here to ask Miss Wan'er something."

Pei Wan'er said: "If you ask, my little girl will know everything."

Ye Zi took a deep breath and said, "I heard from the lord that he asked Dr. Pei to develop an antidote to the epidemic in Chang'an City 20 years ago."

Pei Wan'er's complexion changed, and she said distressedly: "Brother won't let me talk about this matter."

Ye Zi said: "My lord has said something to me, it's not Miss Wan'er leaking secrets, but there are some things in it, I want to check with Miss Wan'er."

Ye Zi paused for a moment, then asked again: "Did Doctor Pei finally develop the antidote?"

Pei Wan'er bit her lip, as if a little hesitant.

Ye Zi said anxiously: "This matter is very important to me, I hope Miss Wan'er will tell the truth."

Pei Wan'er was silent for a long time before she said: "Actually, brother did make some progress, but... not."

"Yes and no...what do you mean?"

"Forget it, elder brother didn't let me speak out, but since it's the concubine who wants to ask, it shouldn't be considered an outsider." Pei Wan'er said, "My elder brother and I were rescued by the prince ten years ago and settled in Chang'an City. Since then, The lord asked my brother to investigate the root cause of the disease in the past and how to treat it. My brother has been researching for ten years. Although he has achieved some results, he still hasn't really found a solution.

Until not long ago, the prince brought some dregs of medicine. "

"My elder brother found a strange herb in the dregs of the medicine. He didn't know what it was, but he could tell that it was a herb that could cure all kinds of poisons. My elder brother said...it might be the only way to cure the disease. "

"...But the prince does not agree."

Pei Wan'er flicked the herbs in her hands, wondering: "The lord clearly brought the herbs, but after my brother told him this and wanted him to give us some more of that herbal medicine, he didn't agree. The lord not only I didn't tell my elder brother what the herbal medicine was, and he was not allowed to mention it again."

"My brother and I have been wondering why this is, it's just a blind medicine..."

Brother and sister Pei Ge couldn't figure it out, but Ye Zi understood why.

Because the medicine is nothing but Ye Zi himself.

Ye Zi's lips trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "That is to say, Dr. Pei has not yet developed a cure for the disease, right?"

It was the first time that Pei Wan'er saw Ye Zi's distraught appearance, she was puzzled, but she still said truthfully: "Brother has developed some medicines to alleviate the disease, maybe it can delay the onset of the disease and buy some time."

"How much time can I have?"

Pei Wan'er thought about it and said, "It won't be more than a month."
