So today was the day he was saved! Yu Yan turned her head to look, only to see Ye Mingzhu and Chen Yao sitting beside his legs. One of them was peeling a lychee while the other was holding a pot of tea.

However, with him being so gentle and soft, why did he need to drag her in so much that she couldn't see? Yu Yan suddenly became angry, patted her skirt, and quickened her pace. Behind him, his voice slowly rang out again.

"Weak without wind, who can you feed?"

I'm not going to feed you anyways, I'm not going to feed you! Yu Yan's footsteps became heavier, and she quickly arrived at the back of the house. The lute sounded, the strings like flowing water, jingling and moaning.

This was a melody that was determined by Yu Shuang Shi. He would rather Yu Yan read books and write essays than let her learn these songs. Yu Yan felt even more tired after listening to it for a while.

She stopped in front of a small well at the back of the house. A camellias were planted on the edge of the well, and petals were drifting down into the well with the wind. She shook the bucket, scooped up a ladle of water, and sat on the edge of the well to rest.

She had no choice but to listen to the empress dowager's orders, but how could she steal the orders? If they were to be discovered by the King Xiao, only death awaited them! Even if the final offering was a success, the empress dowager wouldn't spare her. If it was a marriage alliance or something like that, she'd probably be killed halfway through her journey.

Yu Yan had a headache, her chess piece was in a dilemma on whether to advance or to retreat. Grabbing the flower petals that fell on the well, she rubbed her palms together and fell onto the well, falling to the ground as she closed her eyes to rest.

She was about to be played crazily by all these powerful people, Yu Tianqi could only keep quiet, Yulixiao was mysterious, the masked man was overbearing, and Yun Qin … He was still frowning when he saw him today. Living in the capital was far inferior to being happy and free at the border.

She rubbed a few petals, her heart filled with bitterness. One hand pressed against her forehead, her eyes moist. She had been forced into this state, but there was no one she could rely on … So tired...

When he woke up, it was already dark. The next moon was shining in the sky.

Her stomach rumbled as she got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. There was still a string singing in the front yard, Yulixiao should still be celebrating right?

There was a small pot in the kitchen, and it was being boiled. Two girls were guarding it from the side.

"Looking for food?" Didn't you eat? Which lady's maid are you? " The little girl curiously looked at her and brought a cold steamed bun over.

"Your highness." She took a bite of the steamed bun and mumbled.

"Oh, that's great. Hurry up and eat it. Bring the medicine there." The little girl nodded and placed the medicine pot and the small bowl on the black lacquer tray.

Yu Yan didn't want to go, but the little girl placed the tray in her hands, and then thought that it would be better to steal some medicinal dregs and go back to report.

Outside his door, Ye Ming Zhu's laughter could be heard, "Prince, who is this drawing of?"

"Beautiful." Yulixiao's hoarse voice came out.

The corner of Yu Yan's mouth twitched, and she whispered: "Prince, the medicine is here."

The laughter inside died down as he said, "Bring it in."

Yu Yan pushed the door and entered, only to see Ye Ming Zhu wearing an extremely gorgeous dress. The upper half of her body was white, while the lower half was covered by the golden peacock feathers.

Yu Yan put down the medicine and turned around to leave, but the Night Pearl stood up and said softly, "Yu Yan, turn around."

Yu Yan could only turn around and look into her eyes. Ye Ming Zhu sized her up, her delicate eyebrows knitted together. She quickly walked to Yulixiao's side and wrapped her arms around his neck as she whispered, "Your Highness, you drew her! Ming Zhu is going to get angry, why are you drawing her to Ming Zhu? "

Yulixiao raised the painting in his hand and without even looking at Yu Yan, he said indifferently: "Is it her? Why can't This King tell? "

"It's her!" Ming Zhu pointed at the girl's face and looked at Yu Yan in displeasure.

"Ming Zhu's eyes aren't good, get down." Yulixiao pushed her hand away and his tone became cold.

Ye Ming Zhu's expression slightly changed, not daring to say another word. Holding the lute, she quickly retreated.

"Come here, let's take a look at This King's painting. How about competing with you?" He raised his eyes to look at Yu Yan, his tone calm.

"This servant doesn't know how to draw." Yu Yan poured the medicine out and pushed it in front of him. Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at his painting of a woman standing on the horse carriage, pulling on the reins, wearing a white dress and with her long hair fluttering in the wind. She was barefooted and had a red rope tied around her ankles, along with a gold bell.

It was done very well, and it was very close to her style. It seemed like it was done on purpose!

Yu Yan was unable to figure out what he was thinking, and carefully dealt with him with a soft voice: "Prince's Divine Brush."

He sneered, lifted her chin with his pen, looked into her eyes, and said hoarsely, "You're a good liar."

The corner of Yu Yan's mouth twitched, and she said softly, "I wouldn't dare."

His gaze suddenly darkened. With a stroke of his brush across her lips, he coldly said, "This king sees that there's nothing you don't dare to do!"

The brush had ink on it, so he drew a side of her beard. Yu Yan took two steps back, and looked at him in shock. She raised her hand to wipe it, but the more she wiped, the darker her face became.

"You think This King is ugly, so This King will make you ugly too." With a sneer, he took out a book on military affairs.

Damn it, Yu Yan really wanted to throw ink onto his face! The room had a sweet fragrance. She looked over and saw that there were several plates of delicate pastries on the small table. She had only eaten half of a cold and hard steamed bun. Her stomach rumbled again.

"Those are the pastries for Qiushu. Eat them." He suddenly opened his mouth and spoke in a light tone.

"Your servant is not hungry!" Your Highness, please drink some medicine. It's not good if you get cold. " Yu Yan retracted her gaze and urged her on softly.

He raised his eyes to look at her, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp. Yu Yan looked at his hand again. She had never had the chance to look at the masked guy's hand carefully because she could remember that there was a shallow scar on his thumb that she had touched before. However, Yulixiao was wearing the black jade ring so he couldn't see the wound.

"Bring the pastries." he said hoarsely, not looking up.

Yu Yan picked out a plate that looked the worst and placed it in front of him, "Your Highness, please enjoy your meal."

"Do you only know how to do rough work with your hands? You haven't learned anything about the ability of serving men? " he asked hoarsely, looking up at her.

Yu Yan immediately stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, stopping him from talking. She hated it, with so many beauties, staring at her without letting go.

His wrist tightened, and his hand grasped her small hand precisely. He pulled her forward, his hands under her armpits, pulling her forward.

Yu Yan was standing on the other side of the table, forcefully being dragged by her from the table and put into her arms. She looked at Yulixiao in shock. Fortunately she had paralyzed her legs, if she was good, she had no idea how powerful she would be.

"Little Yan'er really doesn't know how to please men. She only knows how to talk about military matters on paper. This King is happy today and will teach you." He smiled, and the evil light in his eyes poured out.

"If you want to have a good mood, first, have some wine to cheer you up." He stretched out his hand and picked up the bottle of wine on the table. He raised his head and took a sip, then cupped her face and fed it to her.

"Eh …" Yu Yan was unable to dodge, and she forced her to drink. The alcohol was too strong, it stung her throat.

"Did you see that? If you want a man to love you, he has to do something about it. " he said hoarsely, licking her lips.

Yu Yan's face was flushed red. Logically speaking, this was her husband, even if he was crippled, he would not rest! One day, she was his concubine. There was no need for a reason to obey him. But she just didn't like it. She hated the way he looked at her, the way he talked so arrogantly, the way he flocked to beauties around him. She hated everything.

He had clearly 'died' for a few years, so he simply didn't want to come back. Those free days she loved the most, those days when she didn't have to bow her head and kowtow to him.

"You're blushing? Drink some more and you get a little drunk. This King will properly love you and will teach you some other methods to properly scream out loud. " He raised the jug to her lips again, coaxing her.

Yu Yan was forced to drink a few mouthfuls again, shshechoked on her tears, the grievance in her heart was that she could not stop, he flapped her hands in his lap, and scolded: "Yulixiao, why are you doing this to me?"

"How does This King treat you?" Your father participated in the plan to kill this king. If you were a man, this king would have killed you long ago! You are still alive, you have to thank This King, and you even attacked This King! "

His face darkened as he grabbed her flailing hands and pressed her against the desk.

"My father was upright and never got along with others. Even if he truly participated in that matter, it was because you were usually too arrogant and did not put others in your eyes."

Yu Yan was not convinced. Her father was clean and honest his entire life, and all his actions were done out of justice. Although Yulixiao had dignity, but there were a lot of people who hated him.

"Your temper is too wild! This King will definitely tame you. "

His eyes turned cold. With a wave of his large hand, he tore open her clothes, revealing her green-colored undergarment.

Yu Yan's tears started to roll down her face. She closed her eyes tightly, not looking at his ferocious face.

To a man, a woman was a happy thing. She had always wanted to get rid of this kind of fate, but from beginning to end, her fate had tightly restrained her, making her unable to escape.

"Stubborn. Did you act like this when you were below him?" Does it make people want to tear your bones apart and eat you to their hearts' content? " He pointed at her jaw, the anger in his eyes thick.

Yu Yan did not make a sound.

"Yu Yan, you are a smart person. Think about it carefully, why would I look at you differently?"

"You're him …" Yu Yan suddenly grabbed onto the finger that was still in front of his chest, and stared wide-eyed, he was him! It must be him!

"Who?" His eyes darkened as he stared at her.

Yu Yan's breathing became tight, she did not continue, the two of them were in a deadlock for a moment, he took off her robe and covered her body, and coldly said: "Go down, I want to read, do not disturb them."

Yu Yan wrapped herself up, jumped down from the desk, and said hastily: "I'm not smart, and I'm not stubborn. I just want to live on in peace. Since you have already made me a slave, why don't you let me be a slave? You don't have to suspect that I've harmed you, nor do I have to be afraid that you'll kill me.

When he looked up again, his eyes were angry and he said coldly, "Get out."

Yu Yan took her leave.
