Liu Yan asked for water to wash his hands, and took out a silver skewer.

"This, I'll go back and apply it again......"

Liu Yan had already uncorked the bottle and picked out the ointment with a silver skewer.

Lu Yi could only honestly stretch out his hand.

Liu Yan hasn't done much of this kind of work, but this job is not too difficult.

Liu Yan's movements were very light - I was afraid that if the movements were heavy, he would be injured even more. Even if it doesn't hurt, the wound will definitely hurt if you touch it a few more times.

Seriously, Lu Yi didn't feel any pain.

Liu Yan's movements were light enough, the kind of gentle touch was like someone gently scratching the skin with a feather, but it didn't hurt, but he felt itchy.

Liu Yan raised his head and glanced at him warningly: "Don't move." ”

Lu Yi nodded hurriedly, with a serious expression, indicating that he would never move.

It is...... The princess has applied a little too much ointment.

Probably because he was afraid that the medicine would be ineffective, Liu Yan picked up a large piece of ointment with a silver skewer, and then wiped it off with the blunt end of the skewer.

This ointment is covered with a thick layer, how thick is it?

Lu Yi felt that he had caught up with the copper coin, and he was still confident in his eyesight.

Well, although there is no need for the ointment to be so thick, and it will be wasted if there is more, Lu Yi doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, this medicine is too much, and it is thick, which means that the princess cares about him as much.

However, the Changxuan is full of medicinal smells, which is very striking.

Lu Yi proposed: "Do you want to go to Meilin to have a look?" ”

Liu Yan nodded, and Lu Yi diligently picked up the cloak for her and put it on her.

If Liu Yan hadn't said that he could, Lu Yi would probably have wanted to take care of the buckles and straps for her.

Outside, the snow began to fall again, and the snow flakes were like catkins, flying one after another, covering the sky and the earth.

Walking into the plum forest, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, Liu Yan turned his head and found that Lu Yi had covered her head with an umbrella, half of his own body was exposed, and snow had fallen on his hair and shoulders.

Liu Yan raised his hand to brush away the snowflakes for him.

Lu Yi is tall, and in order to follow Liu Yan's movements, he deliberately lowered his head.

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and dusted the snow for him.

The snow kept falling, and after the dusting, new ones fell.

"Don't come to cover me in the snow."

"I'm not afraid of the cold." Lu Yi held Liu Yan's hand to dust off the snow for her.

He wasn't mistaken, his hands were hot.

Liu Yan even felt that the palm of his hand was a little hot, and her fingertips even had the illusion of being burned.

Lu Yi didn't let go of his hand, naturally held Liu Yan's hand, and continued to move towards the depths of Merlin.

"Something happened a while ago." Lu Yi said softly: "I hesitated before, thinking that saying this might make the princess feel dirty, but I am afraid that if I don't say it, there may be a misunderstanding in the future." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yan turned his head to look at him: "Say it." ”

"It's a long story."

Liu Yan was curious: "How long?" ”

"It all started when my mother died."

That's pretty long.

"I'm ......" Lu Yi opened his mouth, as if what he was about to say was difficult to say. Liu Yan has known him for so long, and it is the first time he has seen him feel so embarrassed.

What is it that even Lu Yi will be stumped?

"My brother and I are not brothers."

"Huh?" This topic really surprised Liu Yan.

I've never heard of it! When others mentioned it, they all said that General Lu had two sons, the eldest son was highly regarded and was also very prestigious in the Southern Army, and he had already married a wife and had children, and he had already added two grandsons to General Lu.

Liu Yan has never heard of these brothers in these years, and they are not brothers?

"My brother and I have the same father, my mother only gave birth to me, and my brother's biological mother is someone else."

"How do you ...... that?"

Will the eldest son of the Lu family always be Mrs. Lu's son by default?

"I didn't find out about this until after my mother died, and it was told to me by someone who had served with her. My mother had given birth to a child before me, but that child did not survive. Now my brother was brought back from outside by my father. Because of my mother's early death and my brother's background, my father and I have never been on good terms. After the eldest sister-in-law got married, the gap between our fathers, sons, and brothers became deeper and deeper, and then I ran away from home and never returned to Lufu. ”

Liu Yan is very keen to capture the important information in it.

"Yes...... For the title of the Lu family? ”

Lu Yi nodded: "There is a reason for this. ”

It's no wonder that Liu Yan thinks of the title, but I've heard and seen too much over the years. There are not a few people who turn against each other for the sake of titles and family property.

The Lu family has four brothers, well, two of them, the other two are from General Lu's concubine, and there are two sisters, who have already been married.

If Lu Yi and his brother were born to the same mother and are both descendants, then there is no doubt that this title belongs to his brother, and there is no Lu Yi's share.

In this way, their brothers actually have nothing to quarrel about, and Lu Yi is not a person who values the power of the title.

But the brother was not born to Mrs. Lu, so the problem came.

Even if there is an eldest son, the title should still be inherited by the descendants of the descendants, which is written into the law.

Even if Lu Yi doesn't want to fight, will his brother and sister-in-law be at ease with his younger brother?

Surely not.

Lu Yan asked sharply: "Then what does General Lu mean?" ”

Lu Yi smiled, this smile was particularly ironic: "In my father's opinion, the eldest and youngest are not important, anyway, they are all his species, the eldest son is stable, ten times stronger than me, a rebel who is not angry." ”

"How can you ......" Liu Yan suddenly understood many things that he didn't understand before.

There are many nobles in the capital, who doesn't have a few children and grandchildren? Why is Lu Yi's "notoriety" so loud that everyone knows it?

Lu Yi didn't kill anyone, he didn't set fire, he didn't eat, drink, prostitute or gamble, and he didn't help anything hurtful. On the contrary, since Liu Yan met him, he has always felt that he has a good conversation demeanor and a lot of character and knowledge.

Why does such a person have such a bad reputation?

There are many people who are worse than him, but who knows those people?

Someone must be promoting his reputation for disobedience, and he has to make up ugly things to put on his head.

Before knowing Lu Yi's life experience, Liu Yan had never thought about it deeply.

But now she understood.

Who else can spread rumors and smear Lu Yi? Who wants to drive him out of the Lu family, who wants to ruin his reputation, and who has such a conflict of interest with him?

"Before I left home, I almost tore my face with my brother. My sister-in-law was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she secretly discredited me and kept women's personal belongings in my room. The matter of my marriage to the emperor was not publicized, and she did not know about it, and she always wanted to arrange a family affair for me that suited the hearts of their husband and wife. ”
