Yue Yan rode to the hot spring Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital early in the morning, and he ...... I haven't seen my father in years.

It seems that his father still has the impression that when his mother was still there, the man who always smiled.

But with the death of his mother, his father's expression became more and more serious, and his temper became more and more explosive, until his father became ill and moved to the hot spring courtyard with Aunt Chen, and then he was also sent to Donghuang Mountain at a young age...... And then...... I never saw my father's face again.

When the porter saw Yueyan, he opened the door and welcomed him in.

"There has been a letter from the house, knowing that the second young master is coming, and everything has been packed up here." Steward Xiao Li bowed down and replied, this Steward Li is the youngest son of Steward Li in the General Zhenguo Mansion.

Yueyan nodded, jumped off the horse, and touched Ben Lei's neck, "Obedient." ”

Immediately, he threw the reins to the little guy on the side, "Prepare some grass for my Ben Lei." ”

"Yes." The little guy quickly took Ben Lei away.

Ben Lei obviously didn't come for the first time, it was familiar with his legs, obediently led by the little guy.

"The master told you to go to his room." Steward Xiao Li said respectfully.

The corners of Yueyan's lips pursed slightly, "Father......"

"The next person can't see the face of the master, but according to the imperial doctor, the master's body doesn't seem to have deteriorated." Steward Xiao Li asked the string song and knew the meaning of the elegant one, and immediately answered softly.

"Or Dr. Xu?" Yue Yan walked lightly in the courtyard with Steward Xiao Li.

He remembers that when he was a child, it was beautiful and big...... Mother would take her eldest brother to play hide and seek with him here, but now...... The grass and trees are still the same, but they are no longer human.

The trees are taller, the potted plants are more delicate, the pavilions and pavilions are repaired every year, and the colors can even be seen to be new.

But I don't know why, there is a kind of moon inflammation...... A feeling of withering.

Over here...... Dying.

"Yes, it's still Dr. Xu."

Yueyan didn't make a sound, he silently walked through the corridor and came to the courtyard by the hot spring, the housekeeper didn't follow, he gently pushed open the door and walked in.

Over here...... Quiet as usual.

Walking through the small garden, my aunt is maid Qingshuang was greeting her at the door, "I've seen the second young master." ”

Yueyan was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that Qingshuang's temples had already grown Huafa.

He walked over, and Qingshuang had already pushed open the door and lifted the curtain.

Really......

What catches your eye is a huge screen.

Every time......

Every time he returned, he didn't see his father's face.

I heard from the eldest brother that my father's temper became more and more strange because he couldn't get up alone now.

"You're back." A calm voice sounded, and it seemed to be no different than before, except for a slight hoarseness.

"Yes. Is my father in good health? Is eating and sleeping as usual? Yue Yan lowered his eyes and asked softly.

A soft female voice came from behind the screen, "The master is in good health, since he came to the hot spring Zhuangzi, he has a hot spring nourishment, and his diet and sleep have improved a lot." ”

Yueyan's ears moved slightly, and for the first time, he scattered his internal force on his facial features to observe behind the screen.

His eyes seemed to have penetrated the screen and seen through the curtain of the bed to see behind the curtain.

Described as a little haggard father lying in the bed with two families sunken, the aunt sat beside him, gently helping his father with a grate to arrange his hair......

The sound of a thick, thin, slow breath came to his ears, and he knelt on the futon, his hands clenched into fists.

In the past, he had never had such a rebellious idea, but ...... After experiencing gunpowder wounds, he couldn't help but doubt...... The father behind is really still sober......

He thought......

I saw that the green tendons on the back of the hand covered by Yue Yanyue's white robe jumped slightly.

"It's good to be back." A somewhat old voice sounded in the hoarseness, "Cooperate well with your eldest brother." ”

"Yes."

The sound of vague footsteps outside the door came, and Yueyan looked sideways, it was the little guy delivering medicine.

Qingshuang took the medicine, bypassed the screen and handed it to her aunt.

Yueyan sniffed the smell of medicine that filled the room, and seemed to ...... It's all a medicine that solidifies Peiyuan, and it ...... to my father's body But there are benefits.

However, he remembered very well that Dr. Xu said that medicine can cure diseases, but it cannot cure the heart or save lives.

In the whole room, except for the sound of spoons colliding with medicine bowls from time to time, there was only the sound of breathing.

When Yueyan heard a slight snoring, he saw a slender figure reflected on the screen, "After the old man takes the medicine, he will sleep for an hour." If the second young master is ...... You can also see the master. A soft female voice came from behind the screen.

Yueyan's hand tightened and relaxed.

He said lightly: "Still, don't go against your father's will." When my father wants to appear in front of us, he will let him know. ”

Yue Yan lifted the hem of his clothes and stood up from the futon.

"Please also ask my aunt to bother more. Dr. Xu...... What can you say? ”

Aunt Chen behind the screen pondered for a moment, her voice slightly deep, "Doctor Xu said that if the master opens his mind, he may have two or three years. ”

Yueyan lowered her head, "I see." I will stay in the capital for a while in the near future, and if my father wishes to see me, he can send me a message. ”

"The second young master is going back to the mountain again, doesn't it mean ......" Aunt Chen seemed to have realized that she shouldn't have asked, she immediately coughed lightly, "Actually, the master still misses the second young master." ”

Yueyan ignored it, just nodded slightly, and then reincarnated across the threshold and walked away without looking back.

The people in the room didn't move, and after Yueyan walked away, Qingshuang slowly raised her head, and her eyes were no longer the kind of respect and promise of her subordinates, but a kind of coldness.

She leaned forward slightly and slowly straightened up, then walked to the screen.

I saw Aunt Chen behind the screen, stretched out her hand slightly, and then shook her head gently.

Qingshuang and Aunt Chen glanced at each other, showed an indescribable look towards the bed, raised a strange arc at the corner of her mouth, and turned around and walked out.

Aunt Chen breathed a sigh of relief, she could feel that Yue Yan was already beginning to doubt.

But...... So what? She staggered to the edge of the bed, pushed the quilt inside, and lay on her side on the bed.

Aunt Chen squinted her eyes slightly, smelling the medicinal fragrance in the room, Xiumei frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little disgusted.

Qingshuang went out, and now she was left alone in this room......

Where is the father of the moon flame!

A pigeon flew out of the hot spring annex shortly after the moon was gone, but instead of flying to the capital, it flew into the mountains.

Yuehong looked at the news handed over by the dark guard, he snorted lightly, it seems that he has to think of a way......

He put the note on the candle on the side and burned it, "Go and ask the county lord of Rong'an to come over." ”

I saw a black shadow flashing, and only Yuehong was left in the study.

Yue Yan came back very late, and when he came back, the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Wei Wu followed him into the courtyard, and when Tong Yueyan went to the study, his hand lightly pointed to the side courtyard, "After the county lord saw the general yesterday, today, he passed again." ”

"I see. You rest early, and wait for the eldest brother to investigate the news, I'll ...... Just get ready to get out of here. Yueyan's gaze faintly looked at the burning candlestick.

"Then I'll go with you." Wei Wu's thick eyebrows furrowed.

"Actually, the eldest brother is not the kind of narrow-minded person, if you can stay, you want to come according to your ability, you will definitely be reused by the eldest brother, I ...... May live in seclusion with small dewdrops. "Yue Yan doesn't have any thoughts about power and wealth, he just wants to live happily with Little Dewdrop.

Wei Wu's hand slapped the table in front of Yue Yan, "Isn't it brother, saying such things?" ”

Yue Yan looked up at Wei Wu, who was unhappy, with a smile in his eyes, "It's brother, so it might be a bit dangerous for you to help me do something." But I'm not in a hurry, you just need to investigate slowly. As he spoke, his expression gradually became serious.

Yue Yan beckoned to Wei Wu, and Wei Wu turned his ear over.

Wei Wu listened to Yue Yan's secret words, his expression was pale for a moment, and then slowly returned to normal, "Don't worry, I'll be careful." ”

"Do you want to arrange for someone to go to the general or ...... Where is the county lord of Rong'an? Wei Wu licked his lips, if there could be problems in the hot spring courtyard, then now, the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion would no longer be safe.

Yue Yan shook her head slightly, "If there is really a problem, you will startle the snake like this." Now I'm here to see what they do. "Yue Yan didn't understand, if something really happened to his father, why did the eldest brother hide it, did the Yue clan have any secrets that he didn't know......

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Wei Wu had already left.

Yue Yan took out a scroll of paintings from his side, which ...... It is a portrait of a small dew drop painted when he was in Xichen.

His hand gently brushed the flowers on the little dewdrop's face.

Yueyan's eyebrows suddenly frowned, why...... This flower, he had never seen before, was it really a unique flower of Xichen? But why didn't he see the dragon vein when he was looking for it?

He put on his robe, walked to the bookcase, and retraced the flower on the painting with his pen, and he wanted to ask about it...... What kind of flower the hell!

Lu Huaqing would really be so kind to help him repair the portrait of Little Dewdrop, that woman......

Yue Yan's hand gently touched Xiao Dewdrop's face, it seemed that the warm touch was still on his fingertips, and he kept thinking, wait...... Wait, he'll be able to go to her soon.

After all, right now...... The matter of the hot spring annex cast a shadow on his heart.

When he was full of trust in his big brother, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong there.

But now...... He felt that there were problems everywhere.

At that moment, he was the truth bypassing the screen...... But what if he's wrong? With the pride of his father's heart, how can his father endure his withered appearance in front of people?

When his father was sick, he only saw his two sons and no outsiders, so he never doubted it again.

When did it start? It seems that from the beginning when he was able to enter and exit Donghuang Mountain, his father ...... I never saw him again.
