Yulixiao sat in the wheelchair, Yu Tianqi personally pushing him, the two brothers stood between the two fake mountains, staring at her, the servants followed behind, separated by a few steps with their waists and backs bent, they did not dare to breathe too loudly. Nian En knelt at their feet, trembling in fear, one day, they would be scared silly by Master, it was even scarier than death!
Yu Yan's words were really something these two men, no, no one had ever heard before.
Yu Tianqi's expression relaxed a bit as he stared intently at her.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Yu Yan hurried over to pay her respects, went down, and rubbed his forehead as she lightly gasped for air, before asking Nian En to come over and help her.
The word flashed through the two men's minds at the same time. Their expressions changed, and they stared at her.
"Why did you run out when you were dizzy?" Yulixiao stared at her and asked.
"Go to the front to receive your rewards." Yu Yan held Nian En's hand, and said while lowering her head.
"Oh, you even got a reward?" Yulixiao stared at her, his gaze gloomy.
"My prince, the empress dowager gave Fourth Concubine and Miss Yu Yan a reward. It was this servant who had just invited Miss to the front courtyard to receive his reward." Steward Fu hurried over to report.
"Still not going?" he said coldly.
"Yes." Yu Yan bowed and quickly left as she held Nian En's hand.
After being ill for so many days, her waist had become more and more thin, and she had become more and more cold. Yu Tianqi's breathing became heavy as she stared at her back, and asked softly: "This illness of Yu Yan, has been awhile, and has become much thinner."
"Sick or not, if you're thin or not, you won't lose much strength to scold others." Yulixiao swept a glance at him and said indifferently.
The Steward Fu laughed and said, "Haha, your highness, as the saying goes, fight is marriage, scolding is love, and playing around is also the joy of a woman."
The two men turned and looked at him with different expressions. Steward Fu hurriedly slapped his mouth, repeatedly claiming his guilt, then buried his head deep within the ground. Both of his legs shattered and retreated a few steps, retreating to the middle of the group of servants, not daring to say another word.
Only then did the two of them retract their gazes and continued forward.
None of the servants followed, allowing the two brothers to walk deeper into the Pear Blossom. Trees, pear flowers, blooming first, branches filled with the beautiful snow-white scenery.
"Brother Emperor, is there a matter that brings you here today?"
Yulixiao pressed on the mechanism on the wheelchair, causing the wheelchair to stop, pressing down a patch of grass.
"In the past few days, Tianmo Kingdom have captured a city of my Houqing Kingdom, so all the ministers have proposed that royal brother should be the commander. I am only here to ask royal brother if you are alright, and if you can come?" Yu Tianqi asked him in a low voice with his hands behind his back.
"The old ailment recurs, the pain is hard for me to sleep, the emperor has chosen another valiant general, please forgive me for being unable to serve him." Yulixiao laughed and turned to look at him, "In my opinion, of the six generals, General Chu Zunan is the best. The Emperor can accept him as his general, and the Yun Family has a few brave generals who can be the vanguards."
"Tomorrow in the imperial court, I will bring it up again." Yu Tianqi muttered to himself for a while before nodding his head and replying.
As his man, Chu Yannan naturally followed his wishes. The members of the Yun Family were still one of his most important people. However, Yulixiao was surprised when he brought up this matter. Even now, he still could not figure out Yulixiao's thoughts, and had not found out whether his legs were truly paralyzed. As for the imperial physicians, he still found it hard to believe, especially the First Imperial Physician Bai Chengan, who to his knowledge was the most beloved of Yulixiao's mother.
"Heh, does the emperor know about the testamentary edict?" Yulixiao stopped and turned to look at Yu Tianqi.
Yu Tianqi's face darkened, and asked in a low voice: "What testamentary edict?"
"Last night, someone delivered a secret letter to me, saying that the late emperor had left a testamentary edict in Yu Yan's hands, I have yet to ask her, I wonder if there is such a thing." Yulixiao laughed and continued forward.
"Ridiculous. Even if there is a testamentary edict, why is it in her hands? Nonsense, who made up the rumors? " Yu Tianqi immediately said.
"That's right, she's just a small girl. Before he married me, he was only the daughter of a small sinner, and his life and death are unpredictable. How could he have the ability to grasp the testamentary edict?" Yulixiao laughed and continued, "However, she is still somewhat interesting. No wonder Your Majesty was so meticulous, you should thank the empress dowager for sending such a woman over to this king."
Yulixiao laughed, the scars on his face knitting together. Yu Tianqi frowned and turned his face away, but his eyes could not help but reveal a look of disgust and disgust.
Suddenly, Yulixiao waved his sleeves, picked up the bow and arrows on the side of the wheelchair, nocked onto the bow and arrows, released the bow and arrows from the sheath, and shot an arrow quickly. Yu Tianqi was startled, following the arrow's direction, he saw a black pigeon falling from the sky, pouncing towards the grass.
The guards rushed to pick up the pigeons, and after a while, brought out the secret letter and presented it to him.
"There's actually such a thing in this prince's mansion." He laughed, and without even looking at the letter, he threw it to Yu Tianqi.
Yu Tianqi opened it to see a love poem.
"Whose literary talent is this outstanding?" Yu Tianqi praised, raising his eyes to look at Yulixiao.
From the moment it was hatched, one female and one male became a pair. No matter where one was found, they would always find each other, and it was something used between lovers. If one of them died, the other would not eat or drink, until he died.
Yulixiao looked at the black pigeon held by the guard. The pigeon's tail was stained with cinnabar, and its eyes had already closed.
First it was the spider of the side courtyard, then it was the love pigeon. His mansion was truly lively!
"Is there a slave returning to royal brother's residence?" When Yu Tianqi heard the three words "retractor man", his brows knitted tightly as he asked.
"Maybe. There were so many prisoners of war in the past that some of them might have been left behind. Someone, bury this pigeon and let the other one search for it. It could be said that you've given them a lifetime."
After Yulixiao finished speaking indifferently, he pressed the button on the wheelchair again, and slowly walked forward.
Yu Tianqi stared at his back, his face filled with thought.
His royal brother was only a year older than him, and the late emperor doted on him more than once, so he was proud, arrogant, uninhibited, and full of talent. Within the imperial court, there were many people who loved him and hated him. Moreover, he had been on the battlefield since he was seventeen, and his handsome army had been on the battlefield for many years.
As for him, the empress dowager was afraid that he would be injured and not be allowed to lead his troops to war. She only allowed him to practice the art of plotting and plotting in the capital, so although he was not as dignified as Yulixiao in the army, but after many years of planning and planning, he grasped a large number of people in the capital and thus his journey to the throne was smooth sailing.
As the two of them were watching the guards bury the pigeons, a delicate and pretty maid came rushing over. With a sweep of her eyes, she smiled and knelt in front of the two of them and spoke softly.
"Your majesty, your majesty, Mrs. Yao invites your majesty to come over and taste some tea."
So it turned out to be the servant girl by Chen Yao's side, which was why she was slightly more daring than the servant girls of the guest courtyard, and dared to smile so sweetly in front of the two of them.
"Let's go, Chen Yao's tea is not bad." Yulixiao pointed to the front, and asked the guards to come and push him.
Passing the back garden, the few ladies all received their rewards and gathered around a pile of flowers and grass. Yu Yan then brought Nian An and walked towards the side door quickly, as if she had seen two ghosts, she sped up her footsteps and ran away quickly, as if she had trained in lightness skill and could not see the slightest sickness in them.
"I've never been looked down on so much before." Yu Tianqi frowned.
"On the other hand, I'm disliked by her every day. My ugly legs are paralyzed." Yulixiao said lightly.
"Cough …" Yu Tianqi did not know how to respond. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, turning his gaze away.
Steward Fu followed them, he wanted to laugh but did not dare, because these were the two most respected men in Houqing Kingdom. When the women in the garden saw them, their eyes glowed, wished that they could kill them.
"Royal brother, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll head back to the palace first. Royal brother, please rest well." Yu Tianqi retracted his gaze, and lightly patted Yulixiao's shoulder.
"Bye." Yulixiao did not keep him, and only had them send him out.
"Your Highness, where can we go to Mrs. Yao?" Steward Fu came over and asked with a smile.
"Yes." Yulixiao nodded and leaned back. His long snow-white hair almost fell to the ground as a tall guard came over and pushed him forward.
As Yu Tianqi exited the King Xiao Palace, his expression darkened. He turned his head to look at the house beast guarding the gate, and with a light kick on the horse's belly, he galloped forward.
The guards followed closely behind, and the group of people galloped into the palace. Only when they arrived outside his imperial study did he throw away the reins, dismounted from his horse, and walked towards the palace with large strides.
"Send him an inquiry. Let him know what a courtship pigeon is."
"Yes." The guards retreated.
The servants in the palace hurried over to serve him. They changed out of his brocade clothes, wore a snow-white robe, and brought up new tea. They then held onto a paper roll, and left the two of them to wait upon him. Only then did the hall quieten down.
The more he looked at them, the more furious he became. These people would rather worship a paralyzed child than trust the great general that he had painstakingly nurtured, Chu Xinnan! Yulixiao was called sick seven days ago, and had always been in the future, but now that he was in the imperial court, who knew how many times he had to listen to his name, he was extremely annoyed.
He threw the paper away, picked up the bowl of tea, and raised his head to drink. The tea was very hot, and as he spat it out, his face immediately darkened.
The servants were scared half to death. They kneeled down and kowtowed, repeatedly begging for mercy.
"Go down." He held back his anger and threw away the bowl of tea. Then, he took out a book from under the paper slip. On the cover were three small and elegant words — "The Night".
Yu Yan and that Mistress Xu, two women, actually brought out such a book, causing great waves in the capital. Dragging six officials down, what role did Yulixiao play in that? Did Yu Yan have any secret interactions with him during the past two years?
Tomorrow, she would have to wait until Yu Yan entered the palace to participate in the feast before he would have the chance to personally ask her.
His breathing became heavier and heavier as he flipped through the pages and looked at the pictures. In his mind, he could hear the voice of Yu Yan that day when he was reading the book.
He had endured, but he had actually lost her … Regret once again surged forth, causing his emotions to once again sink into a frenzy.
"Your Majesty, the empress dowager has sent someone to ask, has Princess Jing Ge arrived yet?"
the eunuch asked cautiously from outside the door.
He stared at the page and said flatly, "Here we are."
When the eunuch's footsteps left him, he looked up, his eyes filled with a cold light.
