Luo Yueli looked at the young emperor, obviously he was not too old to be weak, but Li Yan's body revealed a sense of dead silence, without any anger, all his emotions were suppressed in his heart, tired, gloomy, as if only a body was left, becoming a cold and fleshless emperor.

His heart was suddenly stabbed, and Li Yan in front of him made him no longer able to connect with the bright young man in the past, how did he force Li Yan to be like this?

Luo Yueli closed his eyes for a moment, he suddenly felt that all his struggles and persistence might be meaningless, if his persistence really turned Li Yan into an emperor who had no one to talk to and no one to rely on, then was this really right?

Li Yan was afraid that he would regret it after another moment, so he immediately spoke:

"Teacher, I'll have you sent home."

Just when Li Yan was about to open his mouth to order the people below, Luo Yueli opened his eyes and grabbed Li Yan's arm, he could only accept his fate after all:

"Yan'er."

Li Yan's wrist felt the man's clammy palm, he paused, but he didn't say a word, Luo Yueli closed his eyes:

"Yan'er, it was me who was wrong"

Li Yan's body froze for a moment, his wrist felt the man's wet palm, Luo Yueli exerted his strength slightly, and Li Yan also sat down according to his strength, and his whole body was a little stiff:

"Yan'er is me looking ahead, I am fame-seeking, I am cautious, it is the teacher's mistake, let's talk to the teacher."

A hope rose in Li Yan's heart, but he couldn't believe the thought he was expecting, Luo Yueli's hand was slightly forced, Li Yan sat beside him, Luo Yueli leaned on the back of the chair behind him, and seemed to let go of all insistence. Li Yan said slightly:

"Teacher?"

Luo Yueli finally looked at Li Yan with a straight face, and there was pride and relief in the eyes of the fox:

"It's not easy for you to come this way, you have the heart to become the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, I can't bear to trap you in the private affairs of your children with selfishness, but I don't want to, but I hurt you the most, it's the teacher's mistake, the teacher is trapped in prison, living in a square inch, even I don't know when I started to have that different mind about you."

Li Yan's eyes gradually burst into a bright light, he didn't even dare to ask, for fear that after asking, he would wake up this hard-won dream, but he still couldn't control his mouth:

"Teacher?"

Luo Yueli finally accepted her fate:

"Yes, I don't know when my mind is no longer pure, I thought that you were a young man, cool and cold, cold and cold, you will naturally find other ways out for yourself, but I don't want to be stubborn, Yan'er, I and you are not a simple master-apprentice relationship."

Li Yan even felt that he was dreaming at this moment:

"Teacher, you mean, you treat me...?"

Luo Yueli's expression finally relaxed, as if she had finally figured out something, and only answered Li Yan with one word:

"Yes."

Li Yan didn't care about anything else, he directly hugged the thin body in front of him, and there was even a moment of trembling when his arms were tightened, he understood, he understood the teacher's worries and worries, Luo Yueli's waist was held in his arms, and he kissed the man's neck and cheek:

"Teacher, needless to say, I understand."

Soon after the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Luo Yueli, the head of the household department, was unable to go to Liangzhou due to illness, and His Majesty sent three imperial doctors to wait for treatment in Luofu.

At the end of November, the first snow was ushered in in Beijing, and the snow was huge, only half a day, and the entire capital was covered in silver.

Luo Yueli has not been to the court for more than half a month, and the busiest person during this time is Ning Yao, how to build it before the snow and frozen soil fall.

Ning Ji would find time to check on the progress almost every day, and finally finished the construction before the snow fell.

When the outside was completed, Ning Ning was to blame for the courtyard, and the whole piece of glass was embedded in the roof of the shed, which could achieve light transmission and sterilization, and he looked inside and out, and made sure that there was nothing to improve before returning to the palace.

Yan Yunzhou arrived at the military department on time during this time, and he still needed to check the military reform matters, and Xue Daning was worried that he would be uncomfortable and waited at the entrance of the military department early, and the people in the military department were not surprised that Marquis Ning came to pick up Prince Yan every day.

As soon as the snow Yan Yunzhou's knees were uncomfortable, it was fine when he sitted, as long as he walked more, his two knees immediately began to protest, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people at the door of the military department, he would definitely not be willing to let Yan Yunzhou go.

"The operating room has been built, I went to see it today, there is no problem with the outside structure, the inside is ventilated and disinfected, and I still need to check it myself, but I don't think it's a big problem, you take care of your body, and I will operate on you after the spring is warm."

Yan Yunzhou could see how much Ning Zhi cared about this "operating room", and leaned on the people around him:

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Ning Ji smiled and nodded:

"I know, don't worry."

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Li Yan issued an order to summon the clans from all over the country to return to Beijing, and it snowed heavily for three days in Beijing, and Yan Yunzhou's joints became more and more unbearable at such a time.

Under Ning's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Yan Yunzhou finally took leave from the military department and stayed in the mansion to recuperate for the past few days.

But Ning Ji still went to Guozijian to teach, these three months of time still have some effect, not to mention, coal dry distillation can be produced in the internal process of the "class", Ning Qi's purpose is to build a professional production line, I have to say that it is still effective.

When he went back that day, he saw Yan Yunzhou's legs covered with a thick fox fur lying in the study reading a book, he hurriedly walked from the courtyard and took off the snow-stained coat on his body:

"I heard that the royal family members of the fiefdom will be entering Beijing one after another in the next few days."

Yan Yunzhou put down the military book in his hand and nodded:

"Well, it looks like it's a small year, and there should be a palace banquet in the palace, I'm afraid it's going to be lively this year."

Since Luo Yueli said that he was sick and did not go to Liangzhou three months ago, all kinds of rumors in Beijing have continued, and after Li Yan once again rejected the draft in the second half of the year, speculation in the court has been rampant.

Ning Yi came to his side:

"I heard that Prince Shun's third son just had a full moon a month ago? Do you think Your Majesty is it possible? ”

He gossiped and spoke, Yan Yunzhou knew what he was thinking, put down the military book and paused before speaking:

"I entered the palace two days ago, listening to His Majesty's meaning, he really wants to enter the palace with a young clan, if so, then Prince Shun's third son is probably indeed the most suitable candidate."

The younger the adopted child, the less influenced by the family, and it is up to His Majesty to teach what to do, which is better than passing on a child who is already sensible, after all, it is related to the change of the throne, and you have to be cautious.

Ning Qi's arm wrapped around Yan Yunzhou's waist:

"If Your Majesty really succeeds the heir this time, it will be a certainty, and I will thank me more if he and Luo Yueli can finally become married."

Yan Yunzhou couldn't help laughing:

"Yes, yes, our Marquis Ning has made great contributions, and we deserve to enjoy the Taimiao."

Chapter 142: Why Are You So Coaxed?

As the first barracks to be reorganized according to the military reform, the six barracks in the northern suburbs will have a big competition on the eve of the New Year's Festival, when His Majesty and hundreds of civil and military officials will be present, although the military reform project according to the functional division is led by the Ministry of War, but Yan Yunzhou has been in the army for many years, and many projects have passed through his hands.

This time, the big competition is tantamount to a test, so during this time, the military department is busy, the northern suburbs camp is busy, and Yan Yunzhou is even busier, almost getting up in the morning and arriving at the northern suburbs before dawn, and then coming back in the evening.

Ning Ji went to Guozijian every day as usual, and the Ministry of Engineering did a lot of the equipment he needed and sent it to Guozijian, who specially set up a courtyard for him to teach, and purifying benzene is a troublesome and dangerous process.

He knows that in this era, it is difficult to achieve large-scale production of sulfonamides and aspirin, because the purification process may not be able to guarantee success every time even in a modern laboratory, so his "experimental class" does not seek speed, and it is good to be able to stumble and make it.

Antibiotics are not likely to be widely used in this era, but they can become the last life-saving medicine, and if you make up your mind, you will not be in a hurry, and you will come step by step.

The two of them were busy in the dark, and Yan Yunzhou sometimes even missed the time for dinner, so that Ning Qi and he could only see him in bed at night, and the next morning, they went their separate ways.

The past two days have been good, because of the snow for several days, the snow on the road to the northern suburbs of the camp is too deep, and Yan Yunzhou's joints are always uncomfortable in this kind of weather.

It's a pity that when the messenger arrived at the Guozijian, Ning Ji had already returned to the house, and Ning Ji was about to enter the palace when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him:

"Master Hou."

Ning Qi turned his head, and saw the little guy accompanying Yan Yunzhou jump off the horse and come over, his heart jumped, and he thought that something had happened to that person:

"Why did you come back? What about the prince? ”

"Master Hou, the snow is heavy today, the snow in the suburbs is deeper, the carriage is not easy to walk, the prince has a small message, saying that he will not return to the palace if he stays in the camp today."

Ning Qi frowned slightly, the snow in the past two days is indeed not small, look at the appearance of this day, it will still rain tonight, the northern suburbs camp has not been there since he came back, and I don't know if the environment over there is good:

"How is the prince? Are you uncomfortable? ”

That little guy has always followed Yan Yunzhou:

"Master Hou, the prince's temperament is okay at all times, but when I came back from the shooting range today, I saw that the prince's steps sank a lot."

Knowing that the man was uncomfortable, Ning Ji turned around and did not enter the palace again, but pulled the horse that he had just ridden back, and turned over directly on the horse:

"Go, follow me to the camp."

Although the snow is thick, but the difference between the horse and the carriage can be big, although the car is not easy to walk, but Ning's horse is a good horse in a thousand, two people in front of the other, halfway it snowed, out of the city to the north is facing the wind and snow, unobstructed, even if Ning is clothed in a fox fur, but the hand holding the reins is still frozen and a little numb.

The commander of the camp in the northern suburbs is none other than Yan Hua, the general of Weibei who once escorted Ning Yi for a while, Ning Ji stared at the wind and snow all the way, and happened to meet Yan Hua looking for the camp.

Yan Hua stepped forward quickly, and waved his hand to Ning Qi when he was far away:

"Princess, princess."

Ning Ji looked back at the mountain-like figure in a trance and hurriedly approached, since he inherited the title of this marquis, this princess really hadn't heard it for a long time, Yan Hua came closer and remembered:

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye, I called me wrong, does Hou Ye still recognize me?"

How can Ning blame not recognize it? He smiled and spoke:

"Last time, if it wasn't for General Yan, I might have died in the interception, how dare I forget General Yan? Speaking of which, General Yan was transferred back to Beijing, and I haven't even invited a meal yet. ”

Yan Hua stepped forward with a smile:

"You don't need to invite this meal of wine and food, Master Hou has already helped me win it."

Ning Qi found that many soldiers around this big camp were probing his brains to him, I have to say that this picture is still a little familiar, that time when Yan Yunzhou's letter reached Yan Hua's hands, many of his relatives also looked at him like this.

Yan Hua explained while enthusiastically leading Ning Qi to Yan Yunzhou's residence:

"The prince and the prince have always been anxious and inseparable from Meng, today the prince stayed in the camp, and then he began to bet, betting on whether the prince would come over today, I pressed three taels of silver to bet on you, and this time I can earn back half a month's wine money."

Rather... How boring are the people in this camp to make such bets?

When Ning Ji arrived, Yan Yunzhou hadn't stopped, he didn't even lean on the couch to rest, but sat behind the table, and then the light of a few oil lamps looked at the formation diagram in front of him, and Dark Xuan came in with the medicine to be used at night and spoke:

"Lord Wang, Lord Hou seems to be here."

As soon as Yan Yunzhou put down his pen, Ning Qi had already opened the thick curtain of the wind, wrapped in the wind and snow, and his shoulders were all snow-white, he looked at the person who was still sitting behind the table and snorted:

"The prince really forgot to sleep and eat, what are you busy with so late?"

Yan Yunzhou was afraid that the doctor at home would have a seizure, so he immediately had a smile on his face:

"No, just look at the formation map, there is nothing to do left and right, why did you come here? It's snowing a lot outside, isn't it? Quickly took off the fox fur and came in to warm up. ”

Yan Yunzhou stood up with both hands on the table, the stinging pain in his knees made his movements pause, and Ning Ji raised his hand to stop while untying the fox fur:

"Hurry up and sit down, what are you tossing?"

The environment in this camp is naturally incomparable with the palace, and the charcoal stove in the house is not made of silver filament carbon, the ash is a little large, Ning Yao's hands are frozen and stiff, he went up to warm his hands, Yan Yunzhou counted the time and knew that Ning Qi must have not had dinner at this time:

"Dark Xuan, let people eat something."
