She picked up the branch and threw it at the tree.
Unexpectedly, the tree shadow shook for a moment. Yulixiao's figure appeared from behind the tree, scaring him out of his wits, he quickly turned around and looked at the house. Was this man a ghost? How did he get out? When did he get out?
"Husband and husband above and bird below, both of you still have this sort of bad temper. If it wasn't for the empress dowager bestowing the marriage upon you, you probably wouldn't have been able to get married."
He coldly swept a glance at her, then blew on the fire piston and lifted his eyes to look at the large tree.
"Who said so? Do I have a husband that can be betrothed to my husband? It was your imperial family that broke up …"
She stopped and sat back down, frowning slightly. In front of him, she could not control her temper.
Yulixiao walked over slowly and waved his hand. After the fire piston was extinguished, he kept the fire piston carefully before using the longsword in his hand to raise her lower jaw and force her to look at him.
"Yu Yan, you have been infatuated for so long, shouldn't this king write a book to pass on your legacy?"
Yu Yan's breathing became lighter, and meeting his gaze, she whispered: "I don't dare, it's just that Prince has mentioned it, and casually mentioned it."
"You've mentioned a lot of things in passing this day."
He smiled coldly, his eyes slightly cold as he slowly withdrew his sword from her throat.
An ice-cold killing intent seeped into Yu Yan's skin. She shrank her neck and softly said, "Yu Yan understands her wrongs."
This was true. If she spoke carelessly again, she would beat her own mouth! She was an ant. Her sky was dark, but she really wanted to live until the day she saw the sun.
Even though it was hard to wait on Yulixiao, it wasn't completely unreasonable. He wanted to conquer her, and from her person to her heart, she still had time. He had to have the chance to escape from his prison, walk to the edge of the world, and freedom.
She longed for freedom, she longed to suffocate, she thought of the wives in his house, she thought of the dark city, she felt sick.
She withdrew her gaze and went back to her disguise. She sat there with her brows lowered, waiting for his anger to subside.
"Yu Yan, seeing how you are, I really want to strangle you."
He sheathed the sword back onto his waist and slid his long fingers across her cheeks. They landed on her red lips and he gently kneaded them.
Yu Yan did not move, letting his fingers recklessly rub over.
"Did he say anything to you before he was caught?" He looked away.
"What does Your Highness want to ask? "I don't mind making it clear." Yu Yan asked softly, muttering in her heart, what exactly does he want to do?
"Who is Yu Xiang and for whom?" Yulixiao coldly stared at her as he questioned.
Yu Yan could endure all kinds of hardships in the world, but she could not tolerate all the disrespect that others had shown his father. Furthermore, his father was still his father-in-law, how could she be so rude and call him by name?
She raised her chin slightly and bluntly retorted, "My father was honest all his life and was excluded by the ministers and officials. He did his best to solve the problem for the king, to be able to say a few words of truth and to be able to do some real things. At the fishermen's houses, the prince could not find valuable antiques, snowflakes, silver, gold altars, or evidence of his affiliation with the royal family. "
"Oh? Honest? "Heh …" Yulixiao sneered, his tone full of ridicule.
Yu Yan's anger rushed up and she took a step forward.
"It is because he is honest that he was wrongly accused." If I think about how my father beat him up like that, he would only be punished for a mere inkstone, and they can't even fool themselves with the crime of Luo Jian. After beating my father up, he ended the case hastily, so I'm afraid that you will be disappointed, your highness, I think it would be better for you to go back early and sleep gently in your hometown. "
Under the faint glow of the moonlight, she stood in front of him with her slim and slim body, weak to the point that it seemed as if a gust of wind could topple her. He swung his palm at her, allowing her to go to the underworld.
Suddenly, he leaned over her and kissed her, lips to lips.
Yu Yan was startled, and her entire being froze in place.
Then the tip of his tongue went in and swirled around her mouth, his palm clamped against the back of her head, and he kissed her harder and harder, as if he were trying to draw all the air out of her, to make her stumble and back.
And so he led her back, until they were pressed against the tall ginkgo tree, the leaves shaking, the leaves flapping, the owls flapping away, leaving a series of strange noises.
Yu Yan's face grew redder and redder as her hands stretched out stiffly on both sides of her body. She clenched his fingers and opened them again, taut and straight.
"What's so interesting about being gentle? This King would like to taste your prickly spring again."
For a long time he let go of her lips, lifted her chin with his long fingers, and said slowly, looking into her eyes.
Yu Yan snorted depressingly, turned her face away, and said softly: "Here it comes …"
"Could it be that he wiped off the blood of the pigs to escape?" he mocked.
"Prince, you have to first clean up such a dirty thing." Yu Yan fumed and pushed away the hand under his chin, then said softly: "Prince, if you want to find something, find it quickly. We cannot find people here for a long time, the yin energy is too dense, do not harm the Prince's body, you must be unlucky."
"Hearing your words of feigned concern, This King actually enjoys it. Normally, when This King is happy, This King will reward you with some gold and silver. Anyway, you're greedy for those things." He turned and walked away.
Yu Yan looked at his back, and in the end, couldn't help but ask loudly: "I love gold and silver, love red dust. Then, what exactly is your highness looking for by coming here late at night? If a lord becomes a dragon, then he will definitely rule over the world. Why would he need to find such mundane and mundane things? "
Yulixiao suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Yu Yan was not afraid. After coming to the courtyard she had lived in for fourteen years, it was as if she saw her father pacing under the moon, grieving for the country and toiling for the common people. He stood under the ginkgo tree, her thick eyebrows knitted together with the hardships of her life.
She took a few steps forward, looked up at him, and whispered:
"Your heart of an emperor was known to the entire world four years ago. Didn't you act weak when you came back to make everyone believe that you weren't here to seize the throne? If you are the emperor, then please clear my father's name and wash away his grievances! "
"Are you begging This King?" His pupils contracted as he stared at her flushed face.
Since Yu Yan had already said it out loud, she might as well say it quickly.
"You asked me why I haven't left for more than three years. You asked me why my father impeached you and I still dared to marry you. That's exactly what I wish for. I am a woman, I cannot ascend the throne, I cannot rule the court, I cannot rule the world, I could not wish for you to come back, I could do my best to serve you, to honor you as my god, please help me with my injustice … But if you don't return after three years, I will have no one to rely on. Now that you have returned, but you dislike me, so why must you make me your slave? King Xiao, your military career, your killing skills are unparalleled, and you are a peerless hero. Why must you make things difficult for a woman like me? "
This was the first time Yulixiao had heard a woman call him this — If a ruler was to become a dragon, he would definitely rule over the world.
His eyes gradually lit up as she lifted his hand to pat her face. Before Yu Yan could react, his hand had already grabbed her face, and her fingers were tightly pinching her flesh.
Yu Yan was shocked, but then afraid. Soon after, she clenched her hands even tighter, using so much strength that she cried out in pain. His voice was so deep that it was like a thick cloud that covered the entire sky, penetrating straight into her heart.
"Yu Yan, you are too smart. To be so weak, you truly make my heart soften. But, what kind of woman are you? I also do not intend to make things difficult for you. As long as you settle down, if this mouth of yours is a bit more gentle, I will naturally give you everything that you want. "
"Yes, Yu Yan understands. Prince, please calm your anger."
She quickly lowered her eyes, her heart was beating rapidly again, knocking against her chest with all the strength she could muster. Her words caused danger to the mountain peaks. If his heart was dark, then she wouldn't be able to return today. She would be able to sleep in this courtyard forever, and with this gingko as her companion, she would turn into a pile of white dust.
Yu Yan said these words completely because he despised her father and was enraged. She did not want others to destroy her father, her father, was a man who could support the heavens and earth.
Yulixiao's title of War God was indeed not empty. He should be even more careful when fighting with him, not touching his bottom line. From now on, she would have to control his own mouth with all his might.
Yu Yan let him pinch her for a while, then heard his question: "Have you thought it through? Do you still want to get the position of wangfei?"
Yu Yan lowered her head and remained silent.
"It's better to remember him and not appreciate his kindness." His eyes darkened, and he pushed her away.
"Qing Mei has only lived for more than ten years, but it is not the love of a man and a woman." Yu Yan explained in a low voice. She did not want to drag this relationship back, making life difficult for her.
His long eyebrows scrunched together and he stared into her eyes. When she was sick, she repeatedly called out to Yun Qin. If it wasn't the love of a man and a woman, then what was it? From this, it could be seen that her words were true and false, and could not be true. This woman was intelligent, and if only her heart was with him, it would be a blessing for him. However, if they stayed by his side and plotted for someone else, that would be a disaster!
Yulixiao knew that he would need some other methods to subdue her.
"After a few days, your body will be completely clean. Come and serve me yourself. Who else do you want to stand guard for?" He spoke coldly and began to walk forward.
Yu Yan lowered her head and followed behind him, out of the small courtyard, then turned to look. The bright moon hung in the sky, and the small courtyard looked like a lonely, broken old man, mottled by the passage of time, bent from the night wind.
Father, Father, if I can restore your name in this lifetime, I would have no regrets in my death.
The two of them stuck close to the wall, avoiding people who wanted to beat them up.
He turned a corner and arrived at a place where he could not sleep at night.
A few hawkers were holding stalls, selling noodles and porridge.
Occasionally, a few fast horses would gallop towards the direction of the palace in high spirits. That was Yu Tianqi's team of guards.
Yu Yan felt that the cruelty of the royal family wasn't only towards the people, her loved ones, or even her parents. In order to gain power, he could also kill her father and kill her mother, not to mention that she had brothers and sisters, everything could be used as well, and everyone could be sacrificed. Born in the royal family, it was such a great tragedy.
Yu Yan missed Yun Qin again. Although he had lost his hand, he was still able to live a peaceful life.
"You want to go visit here?" Seeing him stop, she raised her head and looked at the small building with a beautiful lantern hanging in front of her, as she asked softly.
He glanced at her and sat down at the roadside stall.
Yu Yan hesitated for a moment before she sat down opposite of him.
"Steward, what do you want to eat?" The stall owner welcomed him with a wide smile.
"Two bowls of noodles." He picked up his chopsticks and paused on the table as he spoke in a low voice.
Does he eat this kind of thing? Yu Yan did eat a lot, but she did not expect the noble prince to eat such common things. However, he had been on the battlefield for many years, so it wasn't necessarily true that he had eaten.
She also picked up a pair of chopsticks and looked around. He was too bold, sitting on this street. Wasn't he afraid of being seen by others?
