Chapter 196 Still Not Tired Enough
When Zhao Xi came in and lit the lamp, Lu Chenyang realized that it was already dark outside. He had been dealing with official business all day.
Zhao Xi said in a gentle voice: "My lord, please rest early. You can't work yourself to death anymore."
Ever since Lu Chenyang fainted that day, Zhao Xi has been keeping a close eye on Lu Chenyang's daily routine, refusing to let him get tired in the slightest. She is simply like a housekeeper.
Lu Chenyang couldn't do anything with her and had to let her go.
Lu Chenyang smiled and said, "I know. I received good news today, and I'm not tired at all. I still need to ask Mr. Gao to come over to discuss matters."
Zhao Xi couldn't help but say, "Why can't we talk about it tomorrow? It's getting late, and Mr. Gao needs to rest too."
Lu Chenyang said, "He's even more diligent than me. How could he go to bed so early? How could he be so happy? I'll just talk to him for a while and then go to bed right away, okay? This is really important."
He looked at her with a flattering expression, and Zhao Xi had no choice but to agree.
Gao Ming arrived soon, and when Lu Chenyang told him about the horse dealer, Gao Ming was very happy.
"This is great news. I'll also write home and ask them to help find some horse dealers." Gao Ming said happily.
Lu Chenyang smiled and nodded, then said nonchalantly: "This is a good thing. When you see the prince later, tell him about it and make him happy."
Gao Ming was quite helpless: "Your Excellency is still hiding from the Prince?" He said bluntly: "Excuse me, but running away is not a solution. Can your Excellency keep hiding forever?"
He had said that he should have come to Yan Xing regarding the warhorse issue, but Lu Chenyang had called him instead. It turned out that Lu Chenyang had asked him to deliver the message in order to avoid Yan Xing.
Gao Ming found it a little funny. He didn't expect that his mature and steady father had such a side to him.
Lu Chenyang replied nonchalantly, "It's okay. I'll let him replace Ji Ping after the New Year." He wanted to get him away.
Several days had passed since Yan Xing broke into Lu Chenyang's study. Although no one knew what the two had said, everyone was smart enough to make inferences.
It was said that the two women in Yan Xing's room were immediately sent away by Yan Xing after he went to Lu Chenyang's study. They were sent away overnight and did not even wait until dawn the next day.
Gao Ming and Chen Songyuan had previously speculated that Lu Chenyang's homosexuality was probably a way to reject a marriage, but after what happened with Yan Xing, he became unsure again.
The relationship between Lu Chenyang and Yan Xing can be said to directly affect the stability of their team.
Lu Chenyang maintained internal stability, while Yan Xing pacified external affairs. Their cooperation had always been excellent. If a rift arose between the two, the team would be unbalanced. They couldn't afford such a disturbance now.
Lu Chenyang now seemed to hold great power, but it was still very dangerous. The situation was unclear, with Emperor Qianyuan watching closely, the Fourth Prince waiting to seize power, and the Yilin Army taking advantage of the situation. Now every step Lu Chenyang took was dangerous.
Gao Ming frowned. "Sir, hiding like this is not a good idea. The Crown Prince is so intelligent, he will definitely be able to see through your thoughts. If there is any misunderstanding between the two of you, it is better to meet and explain it clearly." He couldn't help but say, "It is also to stabilize the morale of the troops. Your affairs are now being discussed in the army."
Lu Chenyang frowned: "The military also knows about it?"
Gao Ming nodded solemnly: "The soldiers in the army love the prince very much."
Lu Chenyang rubbed his forehead. There was no way to explain this matter. It would only make things worse.
Lu Chenyang sighed softly and said, "It seems they are still not tired enough. Let's double their training."
Gao Ming: “…”
Gao Ming felt inexplicably guilty.
He didn't dare to persuade him anymore. Lu Chenyang was always smart and he would definitely be able to think it through. If he said too much, it might affect his judgment.
Lu Chenyang and Yan Xing maintained this delicate relationship. Yan Xing acted as if nothing had happened, while Lu Chenyang simply avoided the issue. However, given their identities, it was impossible for them to avoid seeing each other forever.
So, New Year’s Eve came again.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was still only eaten by our family, and Yan Xing, Tan Feng, Zhao Xi, Lu Ning and others were all there.
Lu Chenyang was very happy. The kitchen felt sorry for him today and cooked a lot of meat for him. He was very happy.
Yan Xing, on the other hand, sat there alone without saying a word, just drinking vigorously, as if he had been forgotten.
Even Tan Feng and others felt that Yan Xing was a little pitiful. They looked at Lu Chenyang with a bit of condemnation in their eyes, as if they were looking at a heartless man.
Lu Chenyang: “???”
No, what did they mean? What had he done to deserve such a look?
Lu Chenyang looked at Lu Ning. He was the better one. He kept eating and almost buried his face in the bowl.
Lu Chenyang said with concern: "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for it. Are you hungry in the army?"
Recently, Lu Ning was training in the army. Because of the study, Lu Chenyang was angry. He no longer trusted the guards and wanted to re-select them and let his people lead them. Lu Ning took on this important task.
In order to become a qualified guard commander, he has recently been undergoing rigorous training in the army.
Lu Ning's eyes were red. "I don't know what happened recently. All the training has doubled. I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately and didn't even have the energy to eat. This guard commander is too difficult. Otherwise, I should join the army as a scout. There should be a future for me there."
Lu Chenyang's eyes flashed, and he touched his nose guiltily, "Then eat more, you're welcome."
Seeing that Lu Chenyang was concerned about Lu Ning and didn't even ask Yan Xing a question, Tan Feng felt sorry for him and said, "Young Master, eat more vegetables and don't just drink. It's bad for your health."
Yan Xing glanced at Lu Chenyang, who was sitting across from him to avoid him. He heard what Tan Feng said, but still kept his eyes down, looking unconcerned.
A faint bitterness emerged in his mouth and spread until his heart tightened.
Seeing his lost look, Lu Chenyang couldn't bear it and sighed softly: "Prince, I respect you."
Why are you still urging me to drink?
