"You're hurting me." Yu Yan pushed his hand away, and looked at him angrily: "You guys are fighting, why are you dragging me? How could I know if he was dead or alive? If I knew he was still alive, I would … "

How could she dare to look for the man who raised the white lion? However, looking at King Xiao's snow-white hair today, it really did look a little like that lazy white lion with a murderous aura. It made people feel fear, and they couldn't help but want to explore his secret more.

"So what?" Yu Tianqi stared at her and asked.

"I will... "It would have been better to be martyred." Annoyed, she twisted around and sat down.

Although no one doted on her, they all bullied her!

Yu Tianqi stared at her for a long time, then said softly: "You cannot provoke that person."

"What do you mean?" She tilted her face slightly as she asked unhappily.

"Li Rui is arrogant by nature, she is a cruel and merciless person. Anyone who blocks her way will only have death waiting for them."

"So you killed him …" Yu Yan bit her tongue in an instant. She covered her mouth and quickly raised her eyes to look at him.

As expected, killing intent faintly surfaced in Yu Tianqi's eyes. He restrained it for a while, then said in a low voice: "You are living in the temple.

"I'll come pick you up after a while. Don't even think about escaping, I've already ordered them to serve you well and tell them what to eat."

Yu Yan pursed her lips and did not say a word, as she watched him open the door and leave. It was raining heavily outside, and the sound of the pounding tiles could be heard.

"Empress, what do we do now?" Nian En worriedly asked her.

"I'll deal with it when it's time. Don't worry, they won't let me die." Yu Yan said softly.

"But how did the Empress know …" Nian An's flat mouth, was obviously frightened. Her small face was swollen and bruised.

Yu Yan once again turned to look at Ye Yu and thought to herself, Because she is Yu Yan! From now on, every word and every step she took would be a carefully planned plan that would allow her to escape the cage.

Yu Tianqi and Yulixiao were not her good men in her heart at the moment. Yun Qin had the princess' protection, and the princess' kind heart, so he would protect the entire Yun Family.

With the sound of the wooden fish and the buddhist bell, Yu Yan fell asleep with her pillow against the drum.

Why don't you sleep? Only when he was full would he have the strength to eat, drink, and scrape around before looking for a chance to escape.

Right, I wonder how her books are sold. Has Lady Xu been doing her business properly? It was a pity that he had lost a lot of money in the absence of a bill. There was also that White Lion. It was unknown where she had found it, but it would have been great if she had one!

Nian En watched on from the side, completely unaware that she was not worrying about her life and death, but was instead missing her money.

He stayed in the Buddhist Hall for five days, isolated from the world.

However, this was good as well. Yu Yan would copy the Sanskrit Scripture every day and secretly draw the lower part of her and Lady Xu's painting. Nian En was so frightened that she couldn't help but peek at the place where she was hiding every now and then. She rolled it up and stuffed it into the base of the lantern hanging in the room!

"Empress, let's just copy the scriptures." She leaned over with a bitter look on her face.

"Yeah, copying." She smiled and put down her pen.

"But you're drawing!" Nian En looked at the man and woman she wrote, and his face was burning again.

"I finished the painting." She smiled again and showed the drawing to Nian En.

"Empress, this isn't good." Nian An rushed in.

"What are you yelling about in this important Buddhist land." Yu Yan scolded softly and gave the painting to Nian En to hide.

"You're still painting a naked person!" Nian An muttered softly. Seeing that she was staring at him, she quickly added: "King Xiao had created four secondary wives yesterday, led by Chen Yao. As her respected Mrs. Yao, all the authority in the residence is now in her hands."

"Whatever." Yu Yan said indifferently as she held Nian En's hand and slowly walked out. "Let's go, the mountain apricots are blooming outside."

"Esteemed wangfei, why aren't you in a hurry? Could it be that you really want to enter the palace to be the Empress? " Nian An began to chatter again.

Yu Yan was currently in a good mood because of King Xiao's consort. If a man had something to do, he might forget about her. Therefore, she replied with a spasm in her brain, "Of course, you're going to be blessed. Let the Emperor take you in as well!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that a group of people outside the arched door had stopped in their tracks and were all staring at the three of them.

The one in the middle was King Xiao, with the new Fourth Concubine behind him, led by Chen Yao.

Yu Yan suddenly remembered that Wang Li's new wife must come to the ancestral temple to promote her cultivation, only then could she be considered to have entered the royal family's door. She complained in her heart, but she couldn't be blamed for everything. How could she have had the chance to experience such a thing in the past few years?

"Greetings to Your Majesty, the Prince, and the Imperial Concubine." She stepped forward, her little face twisted into a bitter melon.

It was indeed true that disaster would arise from the mouth. After standing there for a while, that group of people directly walked past her and ignored her. She was half-squatting, her legs were cramped, and as Nian En and her wife were kneeling, they didn't dare to breathe too loudly. Yulixiao's aura was extremely strong and oppressive, just a cold glance from him had caused the two of them to feel like they were dead.

"Esteemed wangfei, I'm so scared …" Nian An whimpered in a low voice.

"Then don't talk too much in the future!" Yu Yan scolded her in a small voice.

"But …" "You also said …" Nian An retorted.

"Nian An, leave quickly." Yu Yan gritted her teeth as she turned around quietly. The group of people entered the house under the lead of Fang Shen.

"Your servant doesn't dare, Wang, Wang …" Nian An raised her head and immediately started crying. Trembling, he crawled behind her and hid behind her slender body. She looked up and saw Yulixiao sitting by the window.

This pair of eyes … Why was it a little familiar?

She stiffened her neck and slowly turned her head, maintaining a half-squat posture.

"Princess, you may leave." Chen Yao came out and said lightly, looking down from above, as if she was waving a little girl away.

Yu Yan would rather be a girl!

She pulled Nian En and Nian An and quickly retreated.

Yulixiao stared at her back, his lips slowly curling into a cold smile.

After walking all the way to the Pine of Life at the White Dragon Temple, Yu Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, she thought of her own painting and immediately asked, "Nian En, you've kept everything safe, right?"

"If the Empress is worried, why should we draw?" Nian En asked in dissatisfaction.

"If you want to escape with me in the future, don't you need to entangle yourself with me? Don't you need the capital to earn a living?" Yu Yan sat on the grass and raised her head to look at the small pond. A cluster of apricot flowers surrounded the small pond, blooming beautifully like the shy face of a beauty.

Nian En gnashed her teeth in anxiety, she did not care about the low status anymore as she squatted down and shook her shoulders, "Empress, this servant has to preserve my life first, so that I can enjoy the life of the Empress."

"Your life will be saved. Go and fold an apricot flower for this concubine." She smiled, laid her head back on the grass, and closed her eyes lazily.

"Empress, you really are …" "Sigh, I am the one who should be worried about the Emperor!" Nian En had no choice but to break the apricot blossom.

Nian An squatted on the ground and looked at Yu Yan, and it was only after a long time that she asked softly, "Empress, why are you not afraid of death?"

"Who said he wasn't afraid?" Yu Yan did not even open her eyes, and continued: "Is it even useful if I'm afraid? "Well, while you're still able to keep your eyes open, look at the flowers and grasses. Eating and drinking will be much more useful than talking about them here."

"The one who loves to eat is the Empress! Empress, how can you eat so much? You ate all the fish Nian En cooked in the morning, and even the bones were not left for Nian An to eat. Fortunately, I was smart enough to hide a fish. " The corner of Nian An's mouth twitched, and she laid down.

Although Yu Yan was angry at Nian An for talking too much, she still chatted with Love. This girl who was heartless and brainless was truly a treasure.

"Would Reverend be very angry if we found out that his fish was eaten by us?" Nian An looked around and asked softly.

"I'm not afraid, I'm the owner. I said it was you who ate it, and it was easily found out after searching." Yu Yan opened her eyes and said seriously. The temple's food was light, Yu Yan could not take it anymore and stealthily caught the fishes raised by Fang Shen and ate them.

Nian An's eyes widened, she immediately sat up, picked up her skirt, and ran back, oh no, she destroyed the corpse.

Yu Yan turned her body over, and the corner of her skirt lifted, revealing a snow-white calf, slender and exquisite, like a jade sculpture. Under the sunlight, it emitted a shiny light, and a few pieces of the apricot petals floated along with the wind and landed on her calves.

"If you don't look at the Empress's face, she really is beautiful." A mocking voice came from the side. Accompanied by this harsh voice was a thick fragrance that made people want to pinch their noses.

Yu Yan sighed, I can't dodge it, it's coming! She rolled over, sat up, and looked towards King Xiao's three secondary wives!

She had seen two of them before. They were precisely the two women that followed Senior Concubine Rong Xin outside the Princess Residence. One was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, Qiu Huan's family's four thousand gold, Qiu Xuanling. She had never seen the other one, but she was born the most beautiful one. Of course, she was still inferior to Yu Yan.

"Why is the Empress lying here alone?" Qiu Xuanling walked up to her and asked with a smile. However, she did not hear the person who just spoke.

"The sunshine is very good. Sisters, why don't you try listening to the Buddhist music in the forest?" Yu Yan pulled up the corner of her skirt and stood up.

"His Royal Highness has asked us to come to pick the apricot flowers. His Royal Highness wants us to dance the apricot flowers." Qiu Xuanling said happily.

Yu Yan nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Someone spoke, it was the Ye Sujian who mocked her earlier.

Yu Yan turned her head to look at her, her red lips slightly raised, as she lazily said. "What else does little sister have to report?"

"The Empress has already lost her chastity, why did she leave without permission? Staying in the Residence, is it to make the world laugh at the prince? " Ye Sujian took a step forward, and looked into her eyes and asked.

"Yes, well asked little sister." Yu Yan replied with a smile, she casually broke off an apricot blossom and said slowly: "But Your Highness likes this kind of ugly face, and does not cripple this concubine. Why would this concubine bother giving up this position to others?"

Ye Sujian could not hold back and pointed to her. "Empress, are you saying that the Prince has no eyes?"

"You said it." Yu Yan couldn't be bothered to care about her. Zhao Rong Xin was really generous to send these two carefully chosen beauties to King Xiao's side to harm her.

"You …" Ye Sujian did not get any benefits. With a flick of her sleeve, she went over to the Collapsing Mountain and picked the most beautiful branch, then hurriedly left with her people.
