"Your Highness, please enjoy." Yu Yan walked in front of Yulixiao and said softly, while holding onto the wood lacquer red drawing tray.
"Elder sister is done." Chen Yao laughed and accepted the tray. In front of Yulixiao, she lightly held a jade silver spoon and scooped up a spoonful of porridge, then handed it over to Yulixiao's lips.
His eyes were downcast as he opened his mouth to eat. His long eyebrows were gently pinched as he whispered: "It's gone."
Chen Yao laughed again as she caressed his face and whispered, "You still need to take the medicine, calm down."
Everyone looked at Yu Yan. Her dress was torn, dirty, and she had not washed or dressed up yet. Her hairpin had scattered and her face was covered in a rash. She stood in front of the pair of people with her head lowered.
Having lost his family and lost his people, and had even bitterly guarded it for three and a half years, the days that Yu Yan guarded for him, were actually filled with ridicule. Yun Qin's eyes revealed a look of pain, she gritted her teeth and let out a gurgling sound.
However, Yulixiao raised his head, and his gaze pierced straight at Yun Qin, as he asked hoarsely: "Prince Consort Yun, you have toothache?"
Jing Ge looked around, grabbed Yun Qin's arm, and rested her head on's arm. She looked at Yu Yan and said crisply: "His teeth are not painful, her eyes are painful! Royal Uncle, who is this beautiful big sister? Where have you been all these years? How can you let the princess dress like this? She's had a hard time for a few years. "
Yulixiao continued to stare at Yun Qin, his eyes serene and smooth as he pursed his lips, a murderous aura silently gathering around his.
If it was any other day, everyone sitting inside would definitely feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles as they tried to think of ways to escape. However, today, they had all heard of this grand news the moment they woke up. They immediately rushed over, wanting to know what had happened that day, how he had managed to escape, and who this peerless beauty before them was.
Chen Yao turned her head, gently parted her red lips, and said in a voice as sweet as a oriole coming out of a valley, "In order to catch the Golden Ape Bird, my Royal Highness fell into a trap and was hit by nine poison arrows. My grandfather and I were in the mountains picking herbs, and we just happened to save the prince. Grandfather, Hao Zhanshan. "
The moment this name came out, everyone softly called it out. It was said that Hao Zhenshan could treat bones and save people. His medical skills were unimaginably high, just that eighteen years ago, he was already addicted to it, and no one had ever seen him again. Who would have thought that Yulixiao would meet him!
"Royal Uncle is truly blessed with great fortune." Jing Ge stood up, gently lifted her skirt and ran in front of him, extending her hand to hammer his leg. The soft, noodle like feeling made Jing Ge's eyes redden as she whispered: "Who harmed royal uncle? We must catch him and dismember his body into ten thousand pieces. "
Yulixiao laughed hoarsely, his deep eyes swept across the people in front of him and he said in a deep voice, "The tea and porridge are too light and tasteless. Today, we should celebrate our farewell to all of the royal brothers and serve some wine. "
Chen Yao did not move, she was startled for a moment before reacting, there were no maids here, she had gone again!
She gathered her hair and walked out of the hall with lowered eyes. If one was able to work, he would be able to live for one more day. If one wasn't able to escape his fate, then he would accept it, change it, and win.
"Sister Wangfei, please change your clothes before coming back." Jing Ge ran over and said.
Yu Yan tilted her face slightly to look at her eyes. She knew that she was in a sorry state, and … Jing Ge could tell that they were not wearing undergarments, and so could everyone else.
But where would she find clothes to wear? So embarrassing! With a slightly feverish face, he crossed his arms and walked away. Before he had taken a few steps, he had already dived into a thick embrace.
Powerful arms embraced her, and the ambergris rushed into her nose. Her back felt warm, and a bright yellow cloak fell over her, wrapping her in it.
He hastily raised his head and saw Yu Tianqi's dark eyes staring straight at her. Behind him, there were a long line of servants carrying large chests, a large plate and a large curtain. There were at least a hundred people.
"Your majesty." She broke away from his arms and bowed.
"The Emperor has arrived." Only then did the eunuch's shrill voice sound out, startling everyone in the hall.
Yu Tianqi pursed his lips, glanced at her from head to toe, then walked towards the palace with large strides. After entering the door, he turned his head to look at her again, a dim light flashing across his eyes.
Yu Yan quickly lowered her head, held onto her cape tightly and ran forward.
"Your majesty." Other than Yulixiao and Chen Yao, everyone else in the hall had knelt down towards Yu Tianqi.
"Get up." Yu Tianqi nodded, his gaze stopped on Chen Yao's face, his eyes flashed with surprise, but the time was short. He quickly turned his head and looked at Yulixiao, and said in a clear voice: "Royal brother came back suddenly, and everything in the palace has to be rescheduled. We allow the Steward Fu to stay at the Palace, to take care of everything for our royal brother. "If royal brother wishes to find my former concubine, I will immediately issue a decree. If he is unwilling, the seventh month of next month will be the first day of the general election. Royal brother, you can choose the person you like at that time." Today, we have brought twenty beautiful ladies here to accompany our royal brother. If there are any dissatisfied people, the Steward Fu can exchange them for a better one at any time. "
"Emperor Uncle, you should bring all the famous doctors in the world to the palace as soon as possible, so that they can treat Uncle King Xiao's illness first!" Jing Ge ran over and grabbed his hand, shaking it non-stop.
"With the God of Healing's daughter here, Jing Ge doesn't have to worry." Yu Tianqi patted her head and smiled.
He was the emperor, and Yulixiao was the king. With courtesy, Yulixiao wanted to give up his seat, but right now he was only leaning on the chair, his long finger was fiddling with a gold wine bottle, the corner of his lips was raised into a smile, his face had turned sinister, his fingers had curled up his long snow-white hair, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Sit down, it's not convenient for this king to move his legs, so there's no need to bow."
The guards lifted up chairs and let Yu Tianqi sit at the side. He lightly lifted his robe and sat down straight, raised his head and said: "It's alright, royal brother can sit. Today, I have another matter that I wish to ask you for a person. "
"Yu Yan? "What, Tian Qi, you like it?" Yulixiao laughed hoarsely, he put down the wine bottle and thrusted his eyes straight at Yu Tianqi.
He was not called the Emperor, but simply by his first name, just as he had been when he set off for the war side by side. After all, that was four years ago. He was now crippled and ugly, but he was still very aggressive. Everyone was sweating for him.
Yu Tianqi only laughed and said softly, "It was the empress dowager's decision. When her royal brother returned, naturally, it would be a joyous occasion. The empress dowager had intended to hold a great ceremony, so Yu Yan had been practicing and writing the Sanskrit since she was young. The empress dowager asked her to copy the scriptures in the temple. "
Yulixiao laughed and asked again: "How can unclean people approach the gods? Was this a blessing, or a curse? I'm afraid there are people who do not wish to see This King return. "
"Royal brother, you're overthinking it. The matter of the wangfei has been investigated. It's all a misunderstanding." Yu Tianqi was not angry, and only smiled faintly.
"Oh …" Misunderstanding? Didn't she get beaten up for nothing? " Yulixiao also laughed, and stared at him as he asked.
"Yesterday, no punishment was imposed on the wangfei. The person who instigated the frame-up has already been executed. I shall return today. I shall let royal brother have a good rest. " However, the smile in her eyes was much colder, and her tone was filled with unquestionable resolution. "Princess, please go to the White Dragon Temple and pray for Imperial Brother's blessings. Yuan Jie, you will personally escort Princess Wang Fei out, and don't make any mistakes."
Yu Tianqi left without turning his head back. After a moment of silence, the awkward and depressing atmosphere grew even more obvious, following that, the princes made an excuse to leave and leave, leaving Sixth Prince Yu Yuan Jie, Jing Ge and Yun Qin behind.
"Your imperial concubine will be escorted by your younger brother, your imperial brother can rest assured." Yuejie cupped his fists together with a refined smile on his face.
Yulixiao only glanced at him once, but that cold gaze of his repelled him, causing the imperial court Jie to feel a little awkward.
"Royal Uncle, I'll come see you tomorrow." Jing Ge came over and pulled his hand, and said with red eyes.
Yulixiao's gaze passed over her shoulder and landed on Yun Qin's body. He had just turned his head to look outside the hall.
Yu Yan had already changed into a teeth-colored long skirt, and slowly walked over. She was always this unhurried, neither cold nor hot. At this time, the group was walking in a slow manner, with their heads bent forward and their hands in front of their bodies. They had a look of fear and trepidation on their faces.
Two palace guards stopped her, and pointed to a small carriage in the courtyard. Yu Yan looked in their direction, and then got into the small carriage and was carried out.
Only then did the few people in the hall retract their gazes.
"Royal brother, little brother will take his leave first." He saluted with cupped fists and left in large strides.
"Royal Uncle, then we'll be leaving as well." Jing Ge also turned around and walked away with Yun Qin in tow.
In this world, there was nothing more depressing than a beauty being late in life and a hero being old. Yulixiao dragged his crippled body back. He had already lost all of his power over the military affairs, and was sitting on a large chair carved from golden silk zhennan wood that was empty for three and a half years. His long hair was piled with snow, and his long eyelashes drooped down, covering thousands of things on his mind.
Chen Yao looked up at him, then kneeled up and asked softly, "King Xiao, why did you come back at this time?"
King Xiao raised his hand and caressed her long hair. After a while, he said softly, "Leave me alone for a while."
Chen Yao nodded obediently and walked out slowly and closed the hall door for him.
It was a cloudy day, and the carved windows blocked out the dim light. The palace was filled with the smell of longxiang floating in the air. He sat there until the rain started to pour outside the window.
Yu Yan arrived at the White Dragon Temple that night, but to her surprise, Nian En and Nian An had already arrived.
"Don't cry." Yu Yan held both of their hands tightly and muttered: "How did you come out?"
"It was I who released them." Yu Tianqi's low voice came from behind the screen.
Yu Yan suddenly raised her head, only to see that he had walked around the screen, the dark purple dragon robe on her body, and the sharp dragon claws seemed to immediately reach out and crush those who dared to disobey him.
"Get down." he growled.
Nian En, Nian An, and the others quickly retreated.
The two of them looked at each other, but Yu Yan did not bow, and only stared at him.
"Did you know he was alive?" As he approached, he gripped her chin with two fingers and forced her to look up.
