In the Crane Zither Department.
Nian An happily spread out the Lotus Root Starlight Palace attire that she had obtained from Yu Yan and also placed two Pearl Flowers on top of it as she praised Yu Yan profusely.
"It's really beautiful. The Empress will definitely be crowned with beauty tomorrow."
"Just a single skirt is enough to make a group of people happy? I'll give it to you as a gift. You can go first and take in a good son-in-law. My ears will then be clean. " Yu Yan leaned against the window with the Military Strategy in her hand, lazily cursing at her.
"Empress, you're just a pile of mud that you can't support." Nian An glared at her and stuck her hands on his waist to teach her a lesson.
"I say, Nian An, you're my master?" Yu Yan put down the military manual and looked at her in shock.
Nian An flinched, but then she stuck out her chest and took two steps forward, saying loudly, "Nian An has thought it through. Nian An is a person of the Empress, and death is the devil of the Empress, and she is a grasshopper on the same boat as the Empress. From today onwards, Nian An will definitely help the Empress take back her favor.
Yu Yan supported herself on the windowsill with one hand, nodded lightly, and smiled: "Good will."
"Then I'll go get some rouge and cosmetic powder, and the Empress will enter the palace in a beautiful outfit tomorrow." Seeing that she did not scold him, Nian An became even happier, and started to hum a small tune as she ran out.
"Empress, don't listen to her nonsense and go to sleep early. Stop looking, your eyes can't take it." Nian En brought the lotus seed soup over and took the book from her hands.
"Let me watch for a while, it's quite interesting." Yu Yan shook her head and took the book.
At that moment, a black pigeon flapped its wings and descended. It tilted its head and cawed at her a few times.
"Pigeons." Yu Yan was overjoyed. She extended her finger over, wanting to touch its feathers.
The pigeon pecked at her fingers, then took a few steps across the windowsill, growled, and flew off again into the moonlight.
"To think that there would be a pigeon searching for love, a pair of pigeons for life. Pigeons know the word 'love' more than humans do, and if there is a next life, I would rather be a pigeon spreading my wings and flying away." Yu Yan stood up and leaned on the window, curiously watching it fly away as she spoke softly.
"You know about courtship pigeons?" Yulixiao's voice came from the front. She raised his head and saw that Yulixiao was slowly entering the small courtyard.
'This is bad, she must be here to cause trouble for me. If I were to talk too much during the day and offend her, who knows what she would think of to torture me with! '
She quickly got up, bowed, and whispered, "This servant understands."
"Today, the King of Japan shot and killed a courtship pigeon. This pigeon is here to find its mate." Yulixiao said as he got closer and stared into her eyes.
Yu Yan breathed lightly as she silently cursed in her heart. How cruel!
The guards walked up and carried the wheelchair into her hall. Nian En hurriedly made tea and gave her a meaningful glance. She had only barely pounced on her and called her Little Ancestor, telling her to take the initiative.
Yu Yan let out a light sigh, covered the window with her hand, and came to serve him. She softly said: "Your highness has summoned this servant to serve you.
"How many hours do you plan to take to summon you over?" He looked up coldly and met her eyes.
If you can, it will drag on until the morning assembly tomorrow... Yu Yan squeezed out a smile and said softly: "Your highness, do you want to rest here? It's really unfortunate that this servant managed to get here. "
"You can be considered to have walked around the brothel. Why, do women serve men only in one place? Didn't you draw those tricks as well? "
His sharp eyes swept over, leaving Yu Yan speechless, following that, her beautiful face slowly flushed red, her hands at the corner of her sleeves started to frown, she stared at him in a daze.
If you let her like that... She was going to die!
Nian An ran in from outside while holding the rouge, gasping for breath, "Esteemed Empress, look at the rouge, the newest peach blossom color, if you put it on tomorrow, it will definitely be the most beautiful, and will also make those people have long eyes. No one can compare to you, your highness will definitely love you the most."
"You want This King to love you?" Yulixiao stared at Yu Yan and asked.
"Uh, ah, uh... Get out of here. If you dare yell again, I'll break your legs. " Yu Yan glared at Nian An, and Nian An immediately drooped her small face, said "I deserve to die," and walked out timidly.
"Quite impressive." Yulixiao could not help but sneer.
Yu Yan pursed her lips, stood in place for a while, then asked softly: "What does the Duke want to do?"
"Blow the candle and get on the bed." Yulixiao turned his wheelchair and said softly.
Yu Yan's breathing tightened, and the corner of her clothes twisted even more.
"You want This King to pull you?" With a low growl and a wave of his sleeve, the candlestick shook and the light in the lampshade went out.
The hall was suddenly pitch black. The doors and windows had long been closed by the servants, so not even a single ray of moonlight could leak in.
"Prince, your servant hasn't recovered yet." She was scared and kept backing up.
But she couldn't stop him, and his breath came fast, and he put his arms around her and strode over to the couch and pressed her down on it.
"Ah …" She cried out in alarm, only to feel her body falling nonstop.
The wind screamed around her. There was actually a mechanism beneath her bed!
Landing on the ground, she was in his arms. Below him was a hidden passageway, and ten meters away, there was a torch nailed to the wall, illuminating the entire road.
"Change your clothes." He let go of her, picked up a bundle from the ground, took out two sets of men's clothes, and tossed one to her.
"Where to?" Yu Yan asked in surprise.
"Fishery." He looked at her and said lightly.
Yu Yan was startled, after she got married, all the servants left, and the fish house's doors were closed. After she quietly went back, the yard was overgrown with weeds, cobwebs were all over the place, and there were still four or five beggars living inside, what was he going to do with her?
"Yes." Seeing that she didn't move, he turned around and spoke in a displeased tone.
Yu Yan had no choice but to turn around and take off her skirt and put on her green male attire.
It was about the same size as her body, except that she had long hair that would be exposed if she wore a hat to cover it. She untied the ribbon from her skirt, tied her hair high and tight, and turned to look at him.
Some of the outsider sons in the martial arts world were just messing with their hair, some of them even stuck a branch in their hair to show off, to show how unrestrained and free they were. In Yu Yan's opinion, all of them were idiots who didn't know how to dress up.
Yulixiao took off the wig and mask on his face. The light from the torch warmed his cold and arrogant face a little, making him look less cold and hard. He wore a long black robe with the sleeves tightly tied. The belt on his back was a soft sword. The sword's head was cleverly buckled into the shape of a pair of fish.
Yu Yan followed behind him, looked at his belt and asked: "Prince, if the sword sheath is inferior, and the sword was pulled out, and cut the waist, what should be done?"
Yulixiao's face darkened as he asked unhappily, "You wish for that to be the case?"
No, I have a friend who is a blacksmith. He said that a gangster went to a blacksmith shop and forged such a weapon, but he thought that the sheath was ugly, so he wrapped himself in cloth and wore it on his waist. As a result, when he walked on the road, the cloth was cut open by the sword.
Yu Yan spoke softly as she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her head knocked against his back, causing her nose to go numb from the pain.
"Yu Yan, if you don't stop this, I will sew your mouth shut."
Yu Yan pursed her lips, stood for a while, and said softly: "I didn't mean to make you hate me, it's just that I felt that it was really stupid."
Yulixiao's face darkened even more. He flung his sleeves and walked forward with large strides.
"To tell the truth, no one likes it." Yu Yan sighed. She really had good intentions.
"Yu Yan!" He turned her head again and snapped at her.
Her voice kept echoing in the tunnel, causing her ears to hurt from the shock. She quickly covered it and whispered, "Yes, I know. Stop speaking nonsense. Prince, please calm your anger."
Yulixiao wanted to strangle her!
Yu Yan hadn't returned for a very, very long time. She couldn't bear to do so and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back crying. Standing on the other side of the wall, she looked down at the wattled wall and stroked it with her hand.
"Let's go in." He wrapped his arm around her waist and leapt over the wall, landing in the courtyard.
Yu Yan landed, her tensed brows loosened, and asked softly: "What are you looking for? I've copied all the things in the house, and there's only a few pieces of furniture left in my room.
"Just follow them." He spoke lightly and strode forward.
Yu Yan unwillingly followed behind him, walking slowly towards the room that Yu Xiang lived in, the smell of damp mold permeating the place, and the sound of water passing through the grass from time to time.
The more she walked, the more her heart ached. The fisherman only had her daughter, a seedling, and if she died, the fisherman would completely disappear from this world. In a few years, who would remember her?
"What is this place?" Yulixiao stopped in his tracks and looked at the small hut in front of him.
Yu Yan looked at it, and said softly: "My father's bedroom."
The door was half open, the windows covered with cobwebs, crows flying from the trees in the yard, and so noisy that it made one's heart tremble.
Yu Yan walked over and gently pushed open the other half of the door. There was a hoarse creak as the door fell down.
Yulixiao took out a fire piston and unplugged the bamboo stopper. With a gentle blow, the fire seedling scuttled in. He raised the fire piston and slowly walked in, waving his sleeve to sweep away the spider webs in front of him. His sharp gaze swept through everything in the room.
The cabinet was wide open. The tables and chairs had long been broken, and only the bed was still intact.
Yu Yan didn't want to go in, so she broke a branch and swept away the dust on the stairs, then sat down and waited for him to come out. The grass rustled a few times, and a wild cat scuttled out, grinned at her, and darted back into the grass.
"What are you looking for?" Seeing that he did not come out for a long time, Yu Yan could not help but ask.
He ignored her.
Yu Yan was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Prince, thank you for helping Lady Xu."
Lady Xu's injuries were severe, if Yulixiao had not asked someone to treat her, the doctor would not have dared to do so, and he would not have been able to do so.
He ignored her.
Yu Yan turned her head to look. The fire in the house had already died down and there was no sound at all.
Her heart tightened as she quickly stood up, carefully went closer, and looked inside.
Whoosh …
A black shadow flew out from inside and pounced on her face, scaring her so much that she let out a low cry and fell back a few steps. She fell heavily onto the ground, her buttocks hurting from the fall, and she gasped.
"You bastard, get lost!"
