Yu Yan had only read about chivalrous figures in miscellaneous books, and had even gone to listen to plays when she was disguised as Yu An. It was as easy as searching for something in one's bag, taking the head of an evil person.
However, in reality, those thugs she had fought against were all scum. Let alone their high level of martial arts, even a strong constable would be able to beat them to death.
So at this time, when Yu Yan was carried on his back, when she was on the tall roof and passing by large trees, looking at the moon which was just inches away from him, she actually gave birth to a trace of a dream.
Yun Qin also knew how to use the lightness skill, but it was a pity that she and Yun Qin had always been strict with etiquette and had never been so intimate. If he were to carry her and fly through the treetops, he would definitely be very happy!
She lowered her head to look. The world was bustling, but it couldn't warm her heart. Instead, it was this person's broad back that gave her a strange feeling of satisfaction.
"What is this?" She suddenly saw a brown mark the size of a fingernail under his neck and reached out to touch it. Just as the tips of his fingers were about to touch her, he suddenly shrugged and dropped her from his back. He quickly grabbed her hand and swung it in the air — and with the agility of a man holding a straw, he took her in his arms.
Yu Yan's soul was about to fly out of her body. She held onto her chest and stared at him, her soul still in danger.
"Little Cousin, please don't be too curious."
His cold words were like a bone-piercing, cold wind that caused her to fall straight from the illusion into the cold abyss.
Yu Yan's mouth twitched, and she turned her face away.
The two of them landed on the high wall at the east side of the palace. The most lively hall was the princess' sleeping quarters, which were newly built and seemed to be a mini version of the palace.
He placed Yu Yan on the roof and gently lifted the tiles. Her movements were agile and light. Even though he was carrying her, he did not make a single sound. She was like a black cat walking in the darkness.
Yu Yan looked at him coldly. His level of professional wall climbing was indeed admirable! She kept the details of his landing in her heart, lest she make the same mistake again and fall into the pit dug by the wicked.
"Say, do you think Big Brother Yun will like me?" A sound came from inside the house, Yu Yan lowered her eyes quickly and looked inside the tiles.
Jing Ge was wearing a thin, crimson gauze dress. Underneath the skirt, the young girl's green scenery was faintly discernible, and on the hem of her skirt were embroidered many peach blossoms.
She felt bitter in her heart. This is the clothes that will be prepared for tomorrow's wedding night, right? She had it, too, given to her by the palace, but she became a widow without wearing it once.
"Much more beautiful than you." He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
Yu Yan did not make a sound. He once again laughed softly next to her ear, and said in a low voice: "Watch carefully here, I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
"What?"
She was stunned. She turned her head and saw that he had already returned to being a night owl and had flown far away.
"Come back here!"
Yu Yan was panicking, her mouth opened widely, but her voice was extremely light, it disappeared with a gust of wind! She didn't dare to yell here! This person was also vicious. If one were to stay on this rooftop, not to mention the cool night air which could freeze one's bones, if even the slightest sound was produced, the result would be even worse! How could she explain why she was lying on the Princess's roof without her shoes and socks?
However, that person was not heading towards the outside, but towards the depths of the Princess' Residence!
The wind picked up, and an owl flitted over the branches, leaves flapping down from the branches. The moonlight was shattered by the branches, falling into the nine huge red lanterns in the yard, being swallowed by the red light.
Yu Yan lay on the ground with her eyes closed for a while, a cold breeze blew into her collar, not only were her four limbs numb, her waist and back were sore, she felt that her chest, which was missing the protection of her undergarment, had been frozen into a hard bun!
She grinned, moving her legs carefully, adjusting her posture. She couldn't help but look down at the hall.
Jing Ge was pacing back and forth in the hall, her entire body covered with jade pendants. There was a mama kneeling down to salute her, holding a painting scroll in her hands.
The mama whispered a few words into Jing Ge's ear. Jing Ge covered his face with her hands and her small waist started to move. She had a bashful look on his face.
Needless to say, that was a map of the spring.
Yu Yan knew that this was the matter of the palace raising mama in the nuptial chambers. Tomorrow night, Yun Qin and the princess will achieve great things! She winced and forced herself not to feel bad. She had to go forward and look forward...
Jing Ge asked in a shy and curious voice, "Hey, will Big Brother Yun like it?"
"Princess looks like an immortal, and she's also gentle and lively. Prince Consort will definitely not let go of her." The mama quickly flattered him.
Jing Ge laughed, with a wave of her hand, a palace maid immediately brought out a gold ingot.
The fact that she could reward a mama so generously showed how rich Jing Ge was. That night, Yu Yan did not have much silver to give to the servants. Thus, she starved for the whole night and did not even drink a bowl of hot tea.
Yu Yan actually liked the princess quite a bit. Her pair of black eyes were clear and transparent, a person without any ulterior motives within the palace.
After getting the silver, the rearing mama became even more happy and her voice became louder.
"Princess, before you enter the bridal room tomorrow, remember to let the Prince Consort drink a bowl of spring soup. The Prince Consort will become even more valiant, helping the Princess to become a man in one fell swoop and give birth to a young prefecture lord early."
Yu Yan frowned. What did she take Yun Qin to be?
"Do I want to drink it?" Jing Ge asked.
"Princess, please don't drink it. As long as you enjoy it, hehe …" The elderly face of the rearing mama wrinkled into a ball, and the green palace flowers on her head trembled.
Jing Ge smiled, and revealed two cute little canines, "But I want to let Big Brother Yun enjoy it."
The rearing mama's voice was stuck in Jing Ge's throat. Jing Ge waved his hand and chased her out, "You may go."
The mama could only kneel down and rest. Jing Ge then hummed as she went to look at her wedding gown, while Chun Gongzi threw him to the side.
Yu Yan looked at her, her heart filling with comfort. It was good that Yun Qin was sincere! In four more hours, Jing Ge would have to put on some makeup and dress, and would have to wait on the servants to help her sleep.
Yu Yan laid on the princess bed, the cold wind blew, causing her to shiver. At the side of the main hall, the cotton floral fluff danced in the wind. A few flew into her nostrils, and a sneeze gushed out …
What was the point of this fight?
She quickly covered her mouth, holding her breath as her cheeks swelled and her chest swelled with pain. She held on, not letting the sneeze escape. Suddenly, the owl on the branch cooed a few times, flapping its wings and flapping its wings. When the dust settled into her nose, Yu Yan could no longer hold it back.
A sneeze sounded out, and tears and snot flowed down his face, startling the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard. The scene immediately turned chaotic. The crowd rushed over and pointed at the roof while clamoring.
Yu Yan groaned inwardly, sshe did not dare stay any longer, and without caring about keeping quiet, he crawled past Liu Li Wa and directly jumped down from the back of the hall. Her legs hit the ground and she felt an excruciating pain. Gritting her teeth, she crawled to her feet and ran.
There was a small lake in front of her. She had nowhere to run to, so she pinched her nose, wanting to jump. At this moment, the southeastern corner of the city was filled with noises and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard. A tall figure flashed over like an eagle, directly hooking onto her waist and bringing her flying outwards.
His lightness skill was too amazing, one could even describe it as him riding the wind. After a short while, they left the princess' residence and entered a dark alley.
Faintly hearing the sounds of dancing music coming from nearby, Yu Yan recognized that this was the most famous hooded courtyard in the capital — — behind the Escort Hall.
"You got it? Can I go now? " she asked, looking up at him.
The reason he brought her to the princess' mansion was definitely because he had some plan. It was possible that he was stealing things or seeing someone — in short, he had a very certain expression on his face. He must have succeeded!
The masked man turned his head to look at her, and his eyes glinted with a dark light. It was obvious that he was angry at her for uncovering the truth.
"Let's go, we'll never see each other again." Yu Yan said again.
"I advise you not to go back tonight." His voice was low.
"Oh? "Are there any villains in my house?" She turned her head and sneered.
He stopped talking. Yu Yan glared at him, his head twitched, she raised both of her hands above his head and raised them up two fingers, then wrinkled her nose and eyes and made a face at him. Without waiting for his reaction, she quickly ran out of the alley.
He slowly took off his mask and watched her run away. Moonlight shone down, and a mysterious knife art carved a handsome and hard face. Long eyebrows entered the temples, and a scar the size of a grain of rice appeared at the corner of his eyebrows. His pair of black pupils were as bright as the stars, yet as deep as the night. Beneath his high and straight nose, his determined lips were tightly pursed. They were not thick nor were they thin. Instead, they carried a cold and sexy aura.
The majesty of a king could be felt in every direction. The wind blew across his wide sleeves as it whistled through the air.
Yu Yan slipped behind the house and entered through the back door.
Strange, why didn't Nian En come to wait for her today? She would definitely wait for her!
She closed the back door, crossed her arms, and walked quickly to her room.
"Nian En, I'm back."
She pushed open the door and let out a crisp cry, but she was immediately stunned at the door.
Nian En was pressed down on the ground, a pair of black, thick-soled palace boots on his back. Her hands and feet were tied up, her mouth was also blocked, and the clothes on his back had already been whipped off, his back was full of blood.
Seeing her enter, Nian En immediately shouted out, and her tears rolled down her face.
Right in front of them sat one of Empress Dowager Fu's most trusted men, Senior Servant Gui. Her hair was white, neatly combed with osmanthus oil, and the corners of her eyes were carved with fierceness. She was the most ruthless character beside Empress Dowager Fu. Many palace maids had died under her torture.
Yu Yan's mind was blank, but she quickly calmed down. She entered the house and asked softly, "Senior Gui Yun, may I ask what matter the two little girls of mine have committed?"
