    Chapter 109 Playing with Iron Chains. The iron chains emitted violent clanging sounds…

    “Prime Minister, your health hasn’t recovered yet. The poison hasn’t been completely cleared. You can’t get up!”

    Chen Li’s expression changed when he entered and saw Wei Yan putting on his outer robe with a gloomy face while a group of military doctors stood by, anxiously trying to stop him.

    He hurried forward to block Wei Yan: “What are you doing? I heard from His Majesty that you still have poison in your body. The military doctors went to great lengths to suppress the toxicity for a short time. But this poison, once you move, it will worsen and your internal organs will burn. Are you trying to kill yourself?!”

    Wei Yan glanced at him faintly, unmoved: “I’m going to find Yu Shuli.”

    “Hey! What are you looking for!” Chen Li sighed: “I found him! He’s in the Xizhao Imperial Palace! Being served with good food and drink, he’s fine!”

    Wei Yan’s face turned pale, and his eyes trembled: “What…do you mean?”

    “It means…the Xizhao Emperor is treating him like a Bodhisattva, so don’t worry about it.” Chen Li helped him back to the bed: “It’s good that you’re back. Yu Shuli was originally going to ask me to find you. I took great pains to find you earlier, and then spent half a day to find the Imperial Palace. Yu Shuli is fine, and he asked me to come back to find you.”

    Wei Yan’s eyelashes drooped slightly: “He asked you to find me?”

    “That’s right, he was worried about you!” Chen Li persuaded: “So don’t torture yourself or the military doctors. If something happens to your body now, wouldn’t the Old General tear me apart?”

    “If that’s the case, then call him back.”

    “This…” Chen Li’s expression was a little embarrassed: “He may not be coming back for the time being?”

    Wei Yan’s gaze suddenly swept over sharply.

    Chen Li’s legs trembled from the look: “Don’t glare at me… Aren’t you poisoned? The Old General will definitely want to find a way to get back the antidote for you…”

    “Get back?” Wei Yan stood up, walked towards him, and stared into his eyes: “How to get it back?”

    Chen Li pursed his lips and said, “Then…then roughly you have to first flatter and please the Xizhao Emperor or something…”

    Wei Yan chuckled: “How to please? Marry him?”

    Chen Li’s body shook, and he looked over in alarm: “What did you hear?!”

    “I’m not dead.” Wei Yan pushed open the window, looking at the sunlight outside: “His Majesty issued an order that no one should mention the Old General entering the Xizhao Imperial Palace, and he should have reminded you in front of you not to allow you to mention it in front of me. But in the past two days, in order to treat me, not only soldiers have come and gone in the military camp, but also local wandering doctors from Xizhao, so it’s not difficult to know.”

    Chen Li bit his teeth, knowing that it was too difficult to hide this kind of thing from Wei Yan. He stole a glance at Wei Yan’s face, unable to distinguish his emotions, and could only persuade: “The Old General said, he will try for two more days, and if it doesn’t work, I will bring him back safely, nothing will happen.”

    Wei Yan was silent, just closing his eyes, placing half of his face in the sunlight.

    “Look, the sun is so good today. I used to be used to being illuminated by the sunlight. Today, if the light cannot completely illuminate me for a day, I will feel as uncomfortable as if my bones are being gnawed.” Wei Yan turned his head, his voice very soft: “Junior General Chen, when is the wedding?”

    “What…what wedding?” Chen Li laughed dryly: “I don’t know, I haven’t heard of it…haha.”

    “Chen Li, you can’t fool people.”

    Wei Yan tapped his finger on the window sill: “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go to the Xizhao Imperial Palace and ask myself.”

    “Oh! Prime Minister Wei… Ancestor Wei… I’m really afraid of you.” Chen Li said anxiously: “If you go in person, not only will His Majesty chop off my head, but the Old General won’t let me go either!”

    “So, isn’t it better to tell the truth?” Wei Yan’s voice didn’t have much emotion, but his eyes were really scary.

    Chen Li scratched his head, facing the overwhelmingly oppressive Wei Yan, he dared not speak, but had to: “Two…two days later…”

    Wei Yan’s slightly cold gaze swept across Chen Li’s face: “Take me to find him.”

    Chen Li was so frightened that he knelt down with a “plop” and cried out: “Please, you two, don’t torture me…”

    Wei Yan coughed heavily a few times, his thin body tottering in the sunlight, looking even more fragile. “Okay, if you don’t take me, I’ll go myself.”

    He turned around and was about to go out, and Chen Li hurriedly chased after him with a group of military doctors. “Prime Minister Wei! If you keep torturing yourself like this, you will die!”

    Wei Yan was forcibly supported by several military doctors, his face was already bloodless, and the broken hair on his forehead was already soaked with cold sweat, sticking to his face in a mess, but he was still struggling.

    Chen Li looked at his disheveled appearance and felt a little unbearable, persuading: “Prime Minister Wei, there is no difference between you going now and me going… I’ll go faster… I’ll leave now, okay? I’ll bring back the Old General right away!”

    Wei Yan’s eyes seemed to hide countless abysses: “Chen Li, I’m dying.”

    Chen Li gasped sharply and helped him up: “Quickly ‘Pooh’, don’t talk nonsense! Prime Minister Wei will live a long life!”

    “You don’t understand, I’m dying.” He opened his hand, spread his hand in the sunlight, and looked up slightly: “When I think that someone is trying to take away the only sunlight that warms me, I can’t live anymore.”

    Chen Li was speechless.

    Of course he knew that Wei Yan loved Yu Shuli. He had the good fortune to witness his possessiveness when he was in prison before, but… but who would have thought that he could love someone to the point where he couldn’t live without him.

    He sighed, as if wanting to say something, but it was stuck in his throat: “Wei…Prime Minister Wei…”

    Wei Yan smiled abruptly: “Two days later, they will get married, and I will have a grand funeral. Both must be done in style, so that we can’t let Wanyan Jun steal the limelight.”

    Chen Li was startled by Wei Yan’s crazy words, and he finally gritted his teeth: “Don’t scare me… I… I’ll take you there.”

    The night in the Imperial Capital was thick.

    Chen Li was holding a candle in the secret passage, leading the way while nagging: “Prime Minister Wei, when the Old General and His Majesty settle accounts, you must not expose me…”

    Wei Yan followed behind him with heavy and staggering steps: “Don’t worry.”

    Chen Li sighed and opened the door to the secret passage: “That’s good.” After passing through the door, he pointed to the top of his head: “The Old General’s room is right above here…”

    Wei Yan glanced at him: “Okay, I’ll go up myself.”

    Chen Li was given a strange look by Wei Yan. Suddenly, he thought that although Wanyan Jun was not in the same room as Yu Shuli when he came last time, now that the two were about to get married, Wanyan Jun might stay in Yu Shuli’s room.

    He suddenly hissed and thought of the scene of the two meeting, he felt that disaster was imminent.

    Even if he was not discovered by Wanyan Jun, just seeing those two people lying in the same bed by Wei Yan would definitely be a very bloody scene.

    Thinking of this, Chen Li hurriedly grabbed Wei Yan: “That…the situation above is not clear, in case someone is ambushing, it’s not safe. How about I go up and scout first?”

    Wei Yan’s face under the firelight was gloomy and terrifying: “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will go out and see Yu Shuli and Wanyan Jun together, and then vent my anger on you and Yu Shuli?”

    His voice was clear and cold: “I won’t be so useless. This is not Yu Shuli’s fault, nor is it your fault.”

    The appearance of this Prime Minister Wei protecting his shortcomings is really like those corrupt women who go to pleasure houses to catch their useless husbands. Anyway, all the mistakes are the fault of the wild flowers outside.

    Chen Li complained in his heart, seeing that Wei Yan’s face was pale from the pain, his movements were sluggish, but he was still climbing up with both hands and feet, he couldn’t help but feel sad for him.

    Wei Yan’s affection for the Old General is truly…deep.

    *

    Yu Shuli heard the movement in the secret passage and hurriedly wanted to get up and go over, but suddenly found that his hands and feet were tied with iron chains and he couldn’t move at all.

    At night, the soldiers were very vigilant and tightened the chains a lot. There were also guards on duty outside at night, and even if he needed to go to the toilet, he needed to report in advance.

    Now that Chen Li was coming, Yu Shuli was worried that his movements would be too loud and the soldiers outside would find out and ruin things, but he didn’t know how to remind him, so he could only shake the iron chains from time to time.

    However, this time Chen Li seemed to be quite careful when he came, not only did he not disturb the soldiers outside, but even the sound of his footsteps was suppressed a lot, becoming much more cautious.

    “Chen Li? You’re finally here?” Yu Shuli turned around, but was suddenly covered by a pair of cold hands.

    This cold temperature could not be Chen Li.

    A murderous intent flashed in Yu Shuli’s eyes, and his arm suddenly turned back and hooked the person’s neck fiercely.

    The person leaned over and pressed himself on top of him.

    Yu Shuli groaned, and the chain on his hand was pulled, raised above his head.

    The bed curtain with gold silk embroidery was suddenly torn down, and a ribbon fell on Yu Shuli’s eyes.

    Yu Shuli opened his eyes wide, but couldn’t see who this presumptuous person was.

    After thinking about it, he could only think that Wanyan Jun had discovered the traces of the secret passage.

    Perhaps he came out of the secret passage and found that he had happened to arrive at Yu Shuli’s bedroom, so he showed his true colors and wanted to take advantage of him while he was asleep and plot against him.

    “Wanyan Jun! Get out of here!” Yu Shuli kicked the person’s calf.

    The person didn’t say anything, just tightened his grip on the iron chain.

    “Has he…been playing these with you these days?” A familiar voice fell on Yu Shuli’s neck, with hurried and fragile breathing: “If you like to play, I can play with you too.”

    “Wei Yan?!” Yu Shuli was shocked, and his voice couldn’t help but rise a little, “Why are you here?! Help me take off the ribbon on my eyes, I can’t see clearly.”

    Wei Yan moved, and a piece of wetness reflected on the corner of Yu Shuli’s eye.

    After a rustling sound, Yu Shuli’s eyes were slightly brighter.

    Borrowing the moonlight, he could see the pale face, with a ribbon in his mouth, extremely charming.

    The soldiers outside moved their feet, scaring Yu Shuli to hurriedly pull the person off his body and hide him in the quilt behind him.

    “What’s wrong? Am I not presentable?” Wei Yan threw away the ribbon, his eyes red: “An old spouse, is no longer important to you, is it?”

    “What are you talking about?!” Yu Shuli pulled his arm, trying to pull him down, but Wei Yan’s grip was so tight this time.

    The iron chain rang, Wei Yan’s fingers hooked on his wrist, and he lowered his eyes to ask him: “You promised Wanyan Jun, so you don’t want me anymore?”

    “What nonsense?” Yu Shuli glared at him: “It’s too dangerous here! Chen Li is really! You still have injuries, how can I let you come! If there’s a letter, he can come and deliver it himself!”

    “I wanted to come myself.” Wei Yan put his lips on his cheek, his breath close at hand: “Yu Shuli, you haven’t answered my question.”

    The breath on his cheek was wet and ambiguous, Yu Shuli was inexplicably a little guilty: “I just…I just wanted to trick him out of the antidote, I wasn’t being sincere.”

    Wei Yan shook his head, as if he didn’t hear his explanation: “You’re going to marry him, you’re going to be the Empress.”

    “I’m not!” Yu Shuli struggled: “Let go of me first.”

    “I won’t let go.” Wei Yan pulled the iron chain, and kissed his face, eyelashes, nose, lips, and chin one after another. “Did he…also kiss you?”

    “Here…here…did he touch it?”

    “No, no, no!” Yu Shuli hadn’t seen him go crazy for a long time, and wanted to hug him and coax him, but his hands were tied, and he was both helpless and distressed.

    “Nothing happened, and I don’t not want you.”

    “You can lie to me.” Wei Yan turned his eyes away, his eyelashes already wet: “It’s good that you still want me.”

    “I’m not lying to you.” Yu Shuli sighed, and could only use his mouth to stick to him and coax him.

    “I promised him to get married just to get his antidote, you have poison in your body, you have to be treated.”

    “I won’t treat it.” Wei Yan’s voice was low and hoarse, with endless grievances: “Come home with me.”

    Yu Shuli muffled his voice: “Okay…I’ll go home with you.” He pulled the person over, hooked Wei Yan’s chin, and kissed him.

    The cold iron chain lay between the two, cold and disgusting, but neither of them let go.

    The two lingered and kissed for a long time, Wei Yan groaned, finally seeming to loosen up, and released the iron chain that he had been holding above Yu Shuli’s head.

    “What’s going on? Not asleep yet?” Perhaps the movement just now was too loud, and the door outside was suddenly knocked.

    Yu Shuli was startled and hurriedly cleared his throat: “I’m going to sleep now.”

    The soldier didn’t care: “Go to sleep early. His Majesty left in a hurry today because of important matters, and may come to favor you again tomorrow.”

    Hearing this, Wei Yan’s eyes turned cold. He leaned over and leaned on Yu Shuli again. “He…favored you?”

    “That’s not what I meant!” Yu Shuli whispered to coax him: “I’ll explain it to you when we get back, okay? Let go of me first.”

    “I won’t let go!” Wei Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes already red: “I won’t let go even if I die.”

    The environment was dangerous now, and Yu Shuli couldn’t let him mess around, so he used his strength to struggle, and the iron chain made a violent clanging sound.

    The soldiers outside were not vegetarians after all, and immediately became alert when they heard the sound: “What are you doing in there?!”

    Seeing that the soldiers were about to come in because they heard the noise, Yu Shuli hurriedly kicked Wei Yan: “Quick, go down and hide!”

    Wei Yan didn’t want to hide, his legs were still tightly attached to Yu Shuli’s body.

    Yu Shuli gritted his teeth, simply turned sideways and hugged him, and buried his head in his chest, hurriedly turned his back to hide the person’s figure.

    The door was suddenly opened, and the soldiers walked in. “What are you doing so late?”

    “The Five-Stone Powder poisoning.” Yu Shuli turned his back, blushing, and gritted his teeth to make up a reason: “I’m masturbating, did I disturb you?”

    The soldiers’ faces stiffened, and their necks turned red.

    This Yu Shuli is His Majesty’s man after all, although they are both men, they dare not go forward to investigate at this time, they can only frown: “Do you want me to call His Majesty to come?”

    “No need. I have my own way to solve it.”

    “Okay.” The Five-Stone Powder poisoning was just like that, and the soldiers had seen the world. They touched their noses: “Then you can solve it yourself.”

    “You guys stand farther away, if you hear me doing this kind of thing, if Wanyan Jun knows about it tomorrow, I’m afraid he will punish you.”

    The soldiers also knew how careful Wanyan Jun was, how strong his possessiveness was, and how much he valued this person.

    They nodded, looking at the vague figure in the bed curtain, “Okay…but don’t have any crooked thoughts, the Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, you can’t run away!”

    “I’m not running. Hiss…Ha…” Yu Shuli suddenly groaned in a low voice, and his tone was a little messy: “You…go away quickly.”

    The soldiers heard his voice, knowing that he had already been poisoned, how dare they open the door and watch again? They hurriedly closed the door and walked away non-stop.

    After the people walked away, Yu Shuli pressed the head that was making trouble on his chest and gritted his teeth: “Wei Yan, are you really crazy?”

    He dared to tease him at this time when he was talking to others!

    Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, his eyes that had been crying were filled with water, lingering and charming: “You’re poisoned, I’ll be your medicine, isn’t that good?” His legs suddenly pressed against Yu Shuli’s knees, raised his feet and hooked, and divided the iron chains on both sides.

    “You…didn’t you help me like this before? This is…reciprocity.”
