When Sili and other places fell into large-scale drought and famine, Yizhou was not affected in the slightest. Although it is not smooth, it is also harmonious and peaceful. And all this was attributed to Liu Yan by the people of Yizhou. However, Liu Yan is indeed worthy of this credit, because it was after Liu Yan entered Yizhou that he exterminated the rebels, eradicated the thieves, subdued Zhang Lu, resisted strong enemies outside, implemented good governance internally, and protected the safety of Yizhou.

It's just that now, this person who kept the Yizhou side safe, but fell ill.

Chengdu City, in the mansion prepared by Liu Yan for Lu Yuxi. A strong smell of medicine filled the air, Liu Yan was lying weakly on the bed at this time, he looked at the door with his head slightly sideways, his face was pale and his eyes were cloudy. From time to time, the body trembled uncontrollably, which made Liu Yan frown, and his hands were even more clutched at the edge of the bed.

Suddenly, the door was slowly opened, and a shadow immediately appeared in Liu Yan's eyes, it was Lu Yuxi. I saw her walk to the bed with a bowl of steaming medicinal soup and whispered, "Lord, it's time to take medicine." With that, he sat on the edge of the bed and fed Liu Yan little by little with a silver spoon.

While drinking the medicine, Liu Yan looked at Lu Yuxi, but saw that the beautiful face in the past was now covered with tiredness, and there was unsolvable sorrow in his smart eyes. The corners of the eyes and forehead appeared, wrinkles began to show, and the originally beautiful black hair gave birth to several white strands.

You must know that in the past, because of Liu Yan's favor and his own good maintenance, although he was already forty-six years old, Lu Yuxi looked like a person in his early thirties.

"Keren, I've suffered you this time......" Liu Yan looked at the lovely person in front of him and said with emotion. At the same time, I wanted to reach out and caress her cheeks, which were no longer smooth and delicate.

"Don't move around, drink medicine and rest, and when you get better, the concubine can serve the lord every day~" Lu Yuxi looked at Liu Yan and persuaded softly.

"Hmm." Liu Yan nodded when he heard this, and obediently let Lu Yuxi feed himself the medicinal soup, his docile appearance was completely different from ordinary in front of outsiders.

It wasn't until after drinking it that Liu Yanba pursed his mouth twice and asked with a hint of curiosity, "It doesn't seem to be the same today?" ”

"Yes, this is the elixir that Gongqi specially refined for the Lord after learning about the Lord's illness." Lu Yuxi replied while gently massaging Liu Yan's limbs with his plain hands.

"Well, it's worrying you." Liu Yan sighed when he heard this, and let out a comfortable moan from time to time.

Hearing Liu Yan's words, Lu Yuxi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Lord, in fact, compared to the concubine, it is the lady, the third son and the fourth prince who are more worried about the lord. During this time, the lady and the fourth prince have always wanted to ask to see the lord, especially the fourth son, who washed his face with tears every day...... and the third prince also sent a letter back, hoping that the lord could transfer him back to fulfill his filial piety......"

Hearing Lu Yuxi's words, Liu Yan suddenly snorted coldly, and said angrily, "But don't mention these annoying things again, didn't the doctor say it?" I couldn't move my breath during this time. ”

"But ......" Lu Yuxi wanted to say something more when she heard this, she was kind by nature, and she really couldn't bear to see the disappointed and desolate appearance of Fei Lan, Liu Zhang and others when they left every day.

Seeing this, Liu Yan suddenly had an idea, and then looked at Lu Yuxi and smiled, "Actually, I don't want to see them, it's all because of you~" said, without waiting for Lu Yuxi to ask, he sighed again, "But you have been following me without a name or a point, and Hui'er can't even recognize me as a father!" Although you did this because you didn't want me to be infamous, how could these officials and even their wives in Yizhou not know? ”

"Lord......" Lu Yuxi vaguely guessed what Liu Yan wanted to say, but he didn't know how to refute it. Because she also understands that she is just hiding her ears and stealing the bell.

Seeing Lu Yu like this, Liu Yan immediately persuaded again, "But people, it seems that now it seems that my time is probably running out...... Hmmm......"

Before Liu Yan's words were finished, Lu Yuxi anxiously covered his mouth with his hand, "The lord has a long life, and I believe it won't take long to heal such a minor illness." So the lord ...... The lord ...... "In the end, he couldn't cry anymore."

Zhang Lu's father died of illness when Zhang Lu was thirteen years old, and then the Heavenly Master Dao was controlled by Zhang Xiu. At that time, Lu Yuxi could only take his three sons to succumb to Zhang Xiu, and even had to curry favor with Zhang Xiu in order to let his children live a slightly better life.

This situation didn't get better until Zhang Lu grew up, but he still had to be careful everywhere, so as not to be caught by that Zhang Xiu.

It wasn't until later that he was asked by Zhang Lu to tempt Liu Yan, although he had an unbearable purpose, and Liu Yan also knew this, but he still gave Lu Yu meticulous care and pampering. This made Lu Yuxi already regard Liu Yan as a reliance in her heart, and it was precisely because of this that she cherished this relationship doubly, and she didn't even want a name, just worried that Liu Yan would leave her.

"Okay, good~ I don't say, I don't say it~ but ...... ...... hiss" Liu Yan felt great pity when he saw this, and hurriedly comforted him, but halfway through his words, he gasped because of the pain in his back.

"Don't move around...... Cheap...... The concubine promised the lord that it was ......" Seeing this, Lu Yuxi hurriedly pressed Liu Yan, and at the same time agreed with a flustered expression.

"Ha~haha~ But you finally agreed~" Liu Yan was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, if it weren't for the pain in his back that made him really dare not move anymore, I am afraid that at this time he would directly get up and take Lu Yuxi into his arms and take good care.

"Hmm...... However, I also hope that the lord can meet the lady and the third son, they ......," Lu Yuxi nodded and persuaded softly.

Hearing this, Liu Yan naturally would not disagree, and immediately sent someone to invite Liu Zhang's mother and son. As soon as they saw Liu Yan, Liu Zhang's mother and son immediately leaned on the bed and cried.

"That's it! It's because you only cry and cry that I don't want to see you! lest the disease is not so serious, but you will be angry even more! Liu Yan said angrily, his tone full of impatience.

Hearing Liu Yan's words, Fei Lan suddenly held back her tears and didn't dare to say more, while Liu Zhang on the side also held back her tears and kept choking quietly, as if she was afraid that making a noise would make Liu Yan even more angry.

It's just that seeing their submissive appearance, Liu Yan is even more dissatisfied. Speaking of which, Liu Yan's marriage to Fei Lan in the past was just a family marriage, and he didn't have much affection in himself. But if the two of them just keep going, there will be no problems. After all, in this era, the marriage of the children of the family is like this, and both men and women will not complain about anything.

"I asked you to come over this time, because I have one thing to say, I am ready to take Yuxi as a concubine, and at the same time, let Hui'er change her surname back to Liu." Liu Yan said in a flat tone.

"It's all up to the lord to decide......" Hearing this, Phelan did not have any surprises, and obviously had already guessed it. Over there, Liu Zhang was still choking with his head down.

"Hmm...... Go down, there is rain here to take care of me. When Liu Yan heard this, he nodded and said no more, as if he really had nothing to say to them.

In this regard, Fei Lan just nodded helplessly, got up and prepared to return to the mansion with Liu Zhang. Seeing her like this, Lu Yuxi seemed to see her former self, and hurriedly said softly to Liu Yan, "Lord, Madame has been thinking about the Lord's illness, why don't you let Madame live here, so I can take care of my Lord......"

"That's fine." Liu Yan nodded and did not refuse.

"Madam, take Madame to the residence." Lu Yuxi walked to Fei Lan's side and supported her, and said in a respectful tone.

"Sister doesn't have to be polite, you can take care of the lord here, just let the subordinates take us there......" Fei Lan said politely, how did she not know Lu Yuxi's status in Liu Yan's heart?

"The lord just drank the medicine and needs to rest, and the concubine has a lot of things to say to her wife~" Lu Yuxi looked at Fei Lan and said respectfully, and at the end, he turned his head and looked at Liu Yan with a pleading gaze.

Seeing this, Liu Yan sighed helplessly, "Go ahead, I'm going to rest,"

Hearing Liu Yan say this, Fei Lan nodded, and went out with Lu Yuxi's support. From beginning to end, Liu Zhang just choked up and lowered his head and said nothing.

The three of them left the room and walked slowly towards one of the mansions, but Phelan remained silent, but did not know what to say. She hated Lu Yuxi very much, because in her opinion, it was this woman who scratched her head and snatched Liu Yan, so that Liu Yan not only ignored their mother and son, but also remained indifferent after they came back from Chang'an.

It's just that she didn't dare to resist, and she didn't even want to, but she could only be supported by Lu Yuxi. Because she knows very well how much Lu Yuxi is favored by Liu Yan now, if she says something to Liu Yan, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Yan will not blame her for this.

Beside her, Lu Yuxi had been carefully supporting Fei Lan, she lowered her head, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something. Behind the two women, Liu Zhang kept his head down and followed slowly, without saying a word, as if he was still sad and couldn't extricate himself.

It wasn't until he came to the residence that Lu Yuxi looked at Fei Lan and said respectfully, "Madam, during this time, the lord has not been in a very good mood because of his illness, so he ......"

Hearing this, Fei Lan looked at Lu Yuxi with some doubts, seeing the apologetic look on her face, as well as her respectful attitude, for some reason, the resentment in her heart also decreased. "Ah Mei doesn't have to be so polite, speaking of which, but thanks to Ah Mei's help and persuasion, otherwise I'm afraid that by now, I won't be able to see my lord......" Fei Lan said at the end, and his tone couldn't help choking.

In the past, Liu Yan went south to Yizhou and left their mother and son in Luoyang. At that time, although Phelan had some resentment, he didn't say much. After all, the system is like this, and Liu Fan and the three of them are all adults, and some have even entered the court as officials, which makes her not need to worry about anything at all.

It's just that after Dong Zhuo entered the imperial court, everything changed, and Fei Lan lived a frightened life every day, but he had no choice but to keep writing letters hoping that Liu Yan could find a way to take his mother and son to Yizhou as soon as possible. In this regard, Liu Yan always replied after a long time, and the content of the letter was only very simple to tell Fei Lan to wait......

And now, Fei Lan finally returned to Yizhou with Liu Zhang, but he was faced with the fact that Liu Yan already had another new favorite. Angry? That's natural, but it's not because Liu Yan has a new love, but because Liu Yan is indifferent to their mother and son.

Seeing this, Lu Yuxi hurriedly comforted her, just saying it, but it was just painless words. After all, from her standpoint, it was really difficult to comfort Phelan.

But fortunately, Fei Lan was not sad for too long, and under Lu Yuxi's slightly clumsy comfort, she quickly recovered, and took the initiative to ask her about some things to pay attention to about serving Liu Yan. After all, she is a most traditional woman, and now that she is in the boat, her only choice is to accept it.

Perhaps, the only thing that makes her happy is that Lu Yuxi really doesn't seem to plan to compete with her for the position of the main room, and her attitude is not only very respectful, but also helps her with advice everywhere.

I don't know how long it took, but Liu Zhang, who had been sitting silently, suddenly said, "Mother...... Auntie, the child wants to visit his father again. ”

Hearing this, Fei Lan hesitated, she knew very well that her third son had not been liked by Liu Yan much since he was a child, otherwise he would not only take Liu Mao to Yizhou. You must know that although the imperial court sent officials to the local area, according to the rules, they wanted to keep their wives in Beijing as hostages, but this so-called wife actually only included the main family and the eldest son. Liu Dan stayed because he was already an official in the court, and Liu Zhang ......

Seeing this, Lu Yuxi opened his mouth to tell him some preferences and taboos about Liu Yan, and asked him to help bring a message to Liu Yan, obviously worried that Liu Zhang would be scolded by Liu Yan in the past.

"Thank you, Auntie." Liu Zhang thanked him, then shook the two of them again, and then turned around and left.

Looking at Liu Zhang's departing figure, Fei Lan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Zhang'er is actually good at everything, but his personality is a little too cowardly, so the lord is ......."

"Madame, don't worry, the fourth prince is loyal, but he won't look rusty if he hasn't seen him for too long." Lu Yuxi persuaded softly when she heard this.

Hearing this, Fei Lan looked at Lu Yuxi's face intently, but only saw concern and guilt in her eyes. Thinking of some rumors he had heard before, Fei Lan's resentment towards Lu Yuxi suddenly disappeared mostly, "Alas, during this time, I have suffered you, sister." ”

"This is what a concubine should do." Hearing Fei Lan's slightly concerned words, Lu Yuxi's face suddenly showed a bright smile.
