Leng Qiyue circled the palanquin before being sent back to the cold palace. She could clearly hear everything from the palanquin, and she also knew that there was no hope of leaving the palace soon. She could not help but be negative.
Today, the sun was warm, so Leng Qiyue moved the door board outside to lie down on it for a nap. When she woke up, she was surprised to find someone standing beside her. She rubbed her eyes to see who was standing in front of her.
"Why is Guard Yan here?"
A strange blush appeared on Yan Su's face. He put down the banana leaf in his hand in slight panic and said, "This servant was ordered by Mu Fei to protect the Empress."
Leng Qiyue unceremoniously stretched her back and yawned. "How long have I been sleeping for? "You're not using banana leaves to block the sun for me, are you?"
Yan Su lowered his head and said, "Your Highness slept for four hours."
Leng Qiyue didn't think that she would actually sleep for eight hours. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, but you helped me block the sun for four hours. You must be very tired. Thank you."
"No …." No... No need to thank me … Which... "Your servant is terrified." When Yan Su saw Leng Qiyue thanking him, he was at a loss for words for a moment.
"Hehe …" Guard Yan, you're blushing. So cute. " When Leng Qiyue realized that Yan Su could also blush, she couldn't help but start to make fun of him.
Yan Su blushed even more when he heard this. He lowered his head and stood aside solemnly.
Leng Qiyue looked at the color of the sky; it was probably the end of the war, and she was a bit hungry. Therefore, he said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll go cook. You accompany me to eat." After saying that, she ran into the house to get some rice and vegetables and started cooking.
Yan Su stood to the side and watched in a daze, quietly doing the hard work of fetching water and firewood. Moments later, two delicious and delicious dishes were placed on the table.
Leng Qiyue washed her hands and face. After sitting down, she saw that Yan Su was still standing. She called out to him, "Come and eat with me."
Yan Su hesitated and said, "This servant doesn't dare."
Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes and pretended to be angry, "Quickly sit down. This is an order."
Seeing that Leng Qiyue was angry, Yan Su quickly sat down obediently, picked up his rice bowl and started to eat. It was as if he wanted nothing more than to finish all the rice in the bowl in one gulp and then get up.
Leng Qiyue frowned. She picked up a chopstick of food and put it into his bowl. "This is the Cold Palace. No one will see it. You eat more slowly. If you eat less, I will think that my food is not good."
Yan Su slowed down as he heard this. He did not expect these unremarkable wild vegetables to be so delicious. Unknowingly, he ate four bowls.
When Leng Qiyue saw that Yan Su was no longer so reserved, she happily started to eat as well, but … The way she ate and ate gave Yan Su a fright. Some concubine would eat with her mouth full, her cheeks puffed up, her mouth full of oil.
After Leng Qiyue finished eating a bowl of rice, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said with a smile, "I'm full now. You take your time and help me wash the dishes. I'll go to the back and make some more wild vegetables."
Yan Su nodded dumbly. He was truly frightened by Leng Qiyue's way of eating. This woman ate in a rude and unrefined manner, and her sleeping posture was even more difficult to look at. Why did the emperor want to bring her into the palace? Could it be for the little prince? Speaking of sleeping, Yan Su recalled the time when he shielded Leng Qiyue from the sun. At that time, Leng Qiyue's clothes were in disarray, her collar was wide open, and half of her shoulders were exposed, allowing people to indulge in fanciful thoughts. As he was thinking, he felt an itch under his nose and touched it with his hand … His nose was bleeding.
Yan Su wiped the blood from his nose randomly and cleaned up the rest of the food. After that, he washed the bowl with extreme speed and disappeared into the shadows with a 'shua' sound … Flee.
When Leng Qiyue returned from picking some wild vegetables, she did not see Yan Su, nor did she care about him. She just sat there blankly in the yard. She couldn't sleep after dark, so she lit a bonfire and began to roast sweet potatoes.
Just as Leng Qiyue was counting her stars, a black shadow leapt over the wall, accompanied by a fluttering sound … Immediately afterwards, a cold light flashed …
An indistinct mass of flesh and blood fell into Leng Qiyue's arms. She was so frightened that she jumped up and retreated, only to crash into someone else's arms. Turning around, he saw that it was Yan Su.
Leng Qiyue patted her chest. "It's you! You scared me to death!" What was that just now? "Uh, why are you here?"
Yan Su shook the steel saber in his hand to rid it of the bloodstain. "This servant is under the order of mufei to protect the Empress."
"Oh?" Leng Qiyue thought for a moment. Yan Su did mention it during the day, but she had forgotten about it.
Yan Su came to the ball of stuff, picked it up and said, "Empress, this is a wild chicken, your servant will throw it away."
When Leng Qiyue heard that it was a wild chicken, she hurriedly stopped him. "Wait, give it to me."
Yan Su was stunned. He didn't know why Leng Qiyue wanted a wild chicken. She wouldn't be thinking of roasting it, right?
Leng Qiyue weighed the pheasant in her hand and said, "It's quite fat. How can you not eat meat that has been delivered to your doorstep?"
The corner of Yan Su's mouth twitched. He had guessed it right. However, there weren't many ingredients in the Cold Palace. If one only smeared salt on the wild chicken, it wouldn't taste very good even if it was cooked.
Leng Qiyue first dug out the wild chicken's internal organs, and then stuffed some things inside, wrapping them in mud without even pulling out its feathers. After he was done, he got Yan Su to dig a hole and bury it. Finally, he moved the fire to where the wild chickens were buried.
Yan Su looked at Leng Qiyue's busy body in a daze. He was thinking how the wild chicken looked like, it must be so smelly that it couldn't be eaten. But when he saw how busy Leng Qiyue was, he didn't make a sound.
Leng Qiyue sat by the fire and tossed the roasted sweet potato to Yan Su. "Sit down. Why did Mu Fei send you to protect me?" Who in the cold palace can be against me? "
Yan Su sat down and said, "Niang Niang may not know that she has violated her oath. "She is not sincerely sending the Empress out of the palace, but rather wants to kill her."
Leng Qiyue was shocked, and the sweet potato in her hand fell to the ground. Yan Su's words were exactly what she had guessed the past few days, she just did not expect that Die Fei would actually go back on her word.
Yan Su placed the steel blade on the ground and began his first long speech, "That day, I did not jump down myself. Afterwards, she flew to the Imperial Gardens with a wish light, purposely landing in the Emperor's arms. Esteemed Empress Dowager Mu spoke a lot of good words on the side. The emperor was delighted, so he released her from the palace.
Empress Dowager Butterfly didn't fulfill her promise to help the esteemed Empress out of the palace after exiting the palace, but took the chance to confuse the emperor and suppress Imperial Concubine Rong. It was only when she saw the Jade Concubine mistreat the little prince that she thought of you and asked the emperor for the exit token. "You want to take the Empress out of the palace and cut the grass at its roots …"
Leng Qiyue interrupted Yan Su. "How do you know she took me out of the palace to get rid of the roots?"
A blush appeared on Yan Su's face as he lowered his head and said, "Actually, after this servant recovered from his injury, he was in the dark protecting the Empress. When I heard that Empress Butterfly wanted to take you out of the palace, I sneaked into the Hundred Flowers Palace. I heard that she was discussing with an eunuch about how to take the Empress out of the palace and then find a remote area to kill you."
Leng Qiyue's eyes turned cold. Indeed, there were no good people within the red wall. She had been too foolish and easily believed in her oath.
Yan Su saw that Leng Qiyue didn't say a word and continued, "This servant knew that when Empress Butterfly wanted to harm esteemed wangfei, I had secretly changed my medallion so that you couldn't leave the palace. Because the servants in the palace can protect the Empress. Even after leaving the palace, the servants are powerless to do anything. "
"Wait a minute, you said that Yu Fei mistreated the little prince just now?"
"This …" Yan Su hesitated for a moment before saying, "When Empress Butterfly went to demonstrate her power in the Jade Concubine's palace, to show off her status, Empress Jade took off the little prince's clothes and placed them on the ground, and … and make him bark like a dog with his bones. "
Upon hearing that her son had been abused by Dongfang Yu, Leng Qiyue could no longer hold herself back. She stood up and punched the tree trunk behind her. The rough skin of the tree trunk pierced her delicate skin, and a few streaks of dark red snaked down.
Yan Su stood up in panic. He reached out his hand to pull Leng Qiyue away, but stopped midway. He said in a low voice, "Empress, don't hurt yourself."
Leng Qiyue shook her head, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "You don't understand. I was born in October, so my heart is connected …"
Yan Su hesitated for a moment before walking over. He gently grabbed Leng Qiyue's wrist and took out a white porcelain bottle. Then, he opened it and carefully sprinkled the powder onto it. Those who practiced martial arts all had Gold Sore Medicine on them, and he was no exception. It was just that he did not expect to use it on Leng Qiyue. After applying the medicine, he took out the silk handkerchief on Leng Qiyue's waist and carefully wrapped it around her wound.
Leng Qiyue sighed and said, "Thank you."
Yan Su blushed. He quickly let go and stood to the side.
Leng Qiyue was silent for a moment before she asked, "Since Princess Butterfly is unable to leave the palace and cannot deal with me, she will definitely make her move against the young prince. Yan Su, I beg you, can you protect Niu Jun?"
Yan Su said awkwardly, "Empress, you yourself are in danger."
Leng Qiyue shook her head. "Right now, I'm very safe in the Cold Palace. Die Fei doesn't know that I know the truth, so she won't come and do anything to me. That's why I'm still safe here. I'm afraid that the butterfly concubine will use Nian Jun to frame Yu Fei. " This was just a guess. It was just that Leng Qiyue did not expect her guess to hit the mark so quickly …
