Yu Yan looked at his white hair from the side and was secretly annoyed. Why didn't she recognize him before? There was a flaw in her aura and his hand, but she had been too nervous and too scared. She had completely forgotten about the stimulation of that incident.

He shot out yet another arrow, breaking a flower branch. The flower leaves danced chaotically as they scattered in the air.

"Pick it up." He put down his bow and turned to look at her.

Yu Yan went over to pick up the flower bud, and handed it over to him. He touched the flower branch with her fingers, and suddenly grabbed onto her wrist, and pulled her into her lap.

Yu Yan slumped into his embrace, his hot breath brushing past her ears.

"What, you want to ask him about it?"

Yu Yan patiently waited here for a long time. Wasn't this what she wanted to ask? She turned her head and met his gaze. She whispered, "The princess has come. Have you seen her?"

The corner of Yulixiao's lips curled up as a cold glint flashed past his eyes.

Yu Yan didn't wait for his reply and could only say in a low voice, "The princess and the duke of Tong City have just gotten married. You are an imperial uncle, so you should just treat it as giving the princess a favor."

"Is This King giving this favor to the princess, or to you?" He squeezed her jaw and stared at her.

The Yun Family had a hundred thousand soldiers at the border, if it was used by Yu Tianqi, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Today, even Yu Tianqi had come to ask for someone, and the empress dowager and Zhao Taizhu were unable to stop Yu Tianqi.

Yulixiao's eyes darkened, his fingers tightened, urging her to reply.

"Give it to me." He squeezed her a little tighter, forcing her body to lean against him. Both of her hands rested on his shoulders. Her watery eyes blinked as she softly replied.

Only then did he let go and said in a deep voice, "Let it go."

Yu Yan let out a light breath, as both her hands slipped off his shoulders and she softly said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"That's it?" The light in his eyes flickered as he asked in a low voice.

"Ah?" "Which one?" Yu Yan was startled, she could not guess what he meant.

He lifted her from his lap, sneered, and let himself be pushed into the room.

The palace maids neatly put away the tables and chairs, and the courtyard immediately became empty. The few camellias stood in the moonlight, their leaves swaying, casting shadows on the ground, filling the yard with the fragrance of the camellias.

Yu Yan originally wanted to return to the room, but when she looked up, he saw her looking back at him.

Yu Yan still hurt a little, so she rubbed her forehead, pretending not to see anything as she walked towards her room with her stiff legs.

Seeing her pretending to be deaf, in Yulixiao's eyes, there was no need to talk about how angry she was. When she was pleading for someone, she would sit on their leg, and when that happened, look at her expression!

"Yu Yan, if you still want to keep that room, then act smarter." he snapped coldly.

Yu Yan's footsteps stopped in midair and only after a long while did she turn around and slowly enter the room. The maids had already changed out of their brocade robes, washed their feet, and leaned on the couch to read the military script.

Yu Yan stood far away, not showing any intention of moving closer at all. Still, it was tiring to stand. He had been standing there for more than two hours now, from eating to practicing archery. The drumbeats grew louder as she turned to look out the window at the crescent moon, beginning to wonder what she had to say about Lady Xu.

If it was Chen Yao, or even Ye Mingyue, she would have immediately opened her mouth, right?

After hesitating for a long time, he only heard him say: "Yu Yan, at that time, how much money did you write about your father?"

"His eyes aren't very good. Ever since I was twelve, he's been reading. I wrote, I wrote, I wrote for two and a half years. The paper I impeached you with was also written by me." Yu Yan hesitated and whispered.

"Which are your father's words and which are yours?" He put down the book and looked up at her.

"The ones behind." In fact, she said vaguely, her father had only begun, and she had written it all at the end.

Yulixiao went silent. Everyone said that a woman without talent was a virtue, this Yu Yan was proficient in codes of Houqing Kingdom and sizes, he had seen her writing, and every word she wrote cut straight to the point. Her arguments were majestic and imposing, she was truly a phoenix among women, a talent rarely seen.

Was it a blessing or a curse for such a girl to be placed by his side?

"Prince, I have a share in that book as well. Can you help with Lady Xu's matters as well?" Yu Yan finally opened her mouth and carefully worded her words.

He stared at her for a while, then said in a deep voice, "It's already been set up. Go, wash up and come back."

So he was released as well! Yu Yan's breathing became lighter, and she whispered, "I'm still in pain."

He immediately looked up at her and said unhappily, "Why are there so many names? After getting you washed, you still want to bargain? "Do you want me to bring Lady Xu back for you so you can see what kind of punishment she has been subjected to?"

Yu Yan could only go over to wash and change her clothes. After dawdling for around an hour, she dressed up well, and when she entered the door, she saw that he was still sitting there in the same posture, reading a book. The candlelight was weak, she was not afraid of going blind.

She arrived at the edge of the bed and reached out to grab the embroidered tent. She whispered, "Prince, let me add another candle for you."

"It's rare for her to be so considerate. There's no need for that." He put down the book, put one hand on her waist, and pulled her down, and she was in his arms, breathing hard, struggling to free herself, and so she let him hold her like this.

"Where's the pain?" he asked in a low voice, running his hand through her hair.

"It hurts." Yu Yan hurriedly said.

He was silent for a moment, then he pressed her face against his, making her look at him, "If I pity you, then I would care whether you're in pain or not. Tell me, do I have to pity you?"

"Yes." Yu Yan hated herself for not having the courage, she nodded again and again, frowning.

"Go to sleep." He lay down and put her in his arms.

Yu Yan laid against his firm chest for a while, how could she possibly sleep? After a moment of stiffness, she whispered, "Prince, take off your mask. It seems like your heart is panicking."

"Yu Yan, why are you so famous? "You still dare to say that?" Angry, he pushed her out of his arms.

Yu Yan pursed her lips, buried his face in the pillow and said softly: "You're the person next to me, so there's nothing wrong with me wanting to see your pretty face. Your face is really scary."

The candlelight was covered by the thick brocade curtain, and only a sliver of light could be seen. After a long time, the people around her only felt something smash into her, gently turning their faces to the side, only to see him sitting there with his silky black hair fluttering around her as he turned his face.

This face was the most perfect and prettiest face that Yu Yan had ever seen amongst all the men.

Not only was she domineering, but she was also arrogant and cold. You could imagine all the beautiful words put on her face, her nose was straight, her lips were lightly pursed, and a trace of dignity came out from her lips. No wonder those two arrogant women were humble for him, it was no wonder that even the Emperor doted on him back then, so his mother had to reach the pinnacle of beauty in order to give birth to such a perfect son.

"How is it?" He spoke coldly.

"Look good, could it be that the two of them are crazy about you …" "That's right, it's too white …" Yu Yan whispered.

She had been wearing a mask every day, not letting him see the light of day. It had already been painful for him, but now it had become her reason for ridiculing him! Yulixiao's eyes darkened. He flipped over and pushed up her skirt without a trace of politeness, and coldly said: "You sure are bold!"

Yu Yan hurriedly struggled as she pleaded for mercy, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely serve Your Highness. Your Highness dotes on me, allowing me to rest is really painful, there's a burning pain in my heart. If you bring it in again today, I'll die."

She spoke pitifully, as if she was really going to die. He pressed down against her body, breathing heavily, his fingers grabbing at her chest, unceremoniously he said: "What are you pretending for, last night you were my pet once, didn't you scream twice before? And today you are in so much pain? "

"You weren't as rude as last night …" Yu Yan panicked and quickly explained, "Furthermore, twice before, you were separated for a few days, how do you know if it was painful for me or not?"

Yulixiao released his fingers, and began to discuss with the woman whether this matter had caused her pain. This was the first time, that he had been forced to defeat by her once again.

"And, and that place of yours is too big... "It hurts so much …" she added, her face swollen like a pig's liver, trying to persuade him to let her go tonight.

Yulixiao frowned, his hands supporting himself as he stared at her for a while, before heavily lying back down.

Yu Yan carefully turned her body over and covered her chest with her hands. Listening to her heartbeat, Yu Yan's breathing became deep and long, as if she had fallen asleep.

She let out a sigh of relief as she stared at the candle for a while. Then she gently closed her eyes.

Hiding from today, what about tomorrow? She couldn't figure out if the one she didn't want to give in to was him, or if it was a hateful fate that she had to lower herself to others.

His arms suddenly wrapped around her, pressing her tightly into his embrace. Her breath was burning hot, and she actually didn't fall asleep … After hugging for a while, Yu Yan gently closed her eyes.

The next day, he still went to the study room. Yu Yan now knew that someone was staring at her, and was too lazy to write or draw anymore.

In these days, apart from passing through, he really couldn't think of anything else to do. If Nian En and Nian An were smart and hid the money she had left in the courtyard and in the bank, she would be the Amitabha.

After a day of peace and quiet, when the time came for Young, a maidservant suddenly walked over quickly with a small bundle in her hands. She placed it in front of her and said in a soft voice:

"Miss Yu Yan, the princess has sent someone over to bid her farewell."

"Farewell?"

It was a letter from the princess, and a hairpin. It was written with the tone of a princess, but one could tell that the hairpin was personally made by Yun Qin. He had done it for her before. A phoenix tail fish, holding a jade bead, the color is exquisite.

In the letter, it said that they would set off on their journey today. They would head north on the boat, returning to Miluo City. Yun Qin was not worried about his life, but his right hand was crippled.

If not, the Empress Dowager might not have let them go, right?

Could Yun Qin, who was riding his horse and waving his sword in the wind, really be cured?

Yu Yan read the letter over a few times, folded it, and placed it inside the box.

This was written by the princess, but Yun Qin definitely told her to write this. He must have wanted Yu Yan to send him off, or even drag her along with him.

Yu Yan could no longer marry him, so why drag him down? She had a good woman like Jing Ge by his side, she would definitely be happy in the future.

She picked up the jade hairpin and looked at it for a while before putting it into the box. Then, she took the box to the cabinet and stuffed it into the corner of the cabinet.
