C41

After a series of cheers, Yulixiao received the bow, and ordered his men to hang another silver pot.

Some people started to worry for Yulixiao. After all, he was a prince, if he lost, how would he have face? As a result, he blamed the Ah Lang in a low voice and did not hold back.

The Ah Lang felt uneasy and retreated a few steps, looking at Yulixiao worriedly. Unsatisfied, he pulled the bowstring to its full length and nocked an arrow.

Yu Yan had seen him shoot arrows once, and knew how powerful he was, but the two arrows of Ah Lang were already too powerful, how could he break them?

Just as he was thinking, he saw the guard at the side take a step forward and toss a handful of coins into the air. There were more than ten of them. When the copper coin quickly fell, his fingers loosened and an arrow whizzed out. In the blink of an eye, everyone saw him rapidly shoot another arrow.

The two arrows each pierced through a copper coin, one after the other, and nailed the silver flagon to the wall. The two arrows, however, passed through each other and nailed the flagon to the wall.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then they started cheering.

Yu Yan was also shocked, this man was talented, able to arrange troops and arrange formations, and had extraordinary martial arts. If he had ascended to the throne four years ago, then there would not have been a day when Xuan Mo had dared to offend him.

"Your highness's archery skills are excellent, your subordinate admires you." Ah Lang strode forward, knelt down on one leg, and admitted defeat to him.

"You can get up. Everyone can go to the restaurant across the way and get drunk. This king will treat you. It's a pity this king is still taking the medicine and can't get drunk with you."

"Thank you, Prince." Everyone clasped their fists and thanked him in unison.

At this moment, Yulixiao turned his face slightly, looked at Ah Lang and said, "Ah Lang, are you willing to return with this king?"

"Your subordinate is willing." Ah Lang quickly said.

Yulixiao nodded and had his men carry him back into the carriage.

Yu Yan started to admire this man more and more, and felt that he was very shrewd. As a result, she dispelled the fear of the soldiers towards his crippled body and was willing to follow him.

Don't underestimate the soldiers below. They are too important to the entire army. If they respect you, then they will charge in for you. If they are unwilling, then they will choose someone stronger.

He sat back down beside her and said in a low voice, "This person will follow you from now on."

Yu Yan was startled for a moment, then realised that she had found a strong bodyguard for her, or was this someone who was watching over her, someone who could kill her with a single arrow at any time?

"If it's my duty, he'll protect you. If it's not my duty, he'll kill you." he said flatly, seeing right through her again.

"My prince, can you stop trying to guess my thoughts in the future? It's scary. " Yu Yan was a little angry as she whispered.

"Did you not guess what was on my mind? If you can do it properly and sit straight, what do you have to be afraid of others guessing at? " He glanced at her, stabbed her a few times, then said to the guards outside, "Let's go."

The carriage left slowly.

The two of them were quiet for a moment, then Yu Yan said in a low voice: "He is a man, put him by my side, if there is someone stirring up trouble, how will you treat me?"

"I don't believe in your loyalty. I believe in him." He didn't even raise his head as he spoke in a deep voice.

Well, luckily she didn't say that she didn't believe in her debauchery... Yu Yan did not make a sound, and looked out the curtain to see the scenery. With such a good spring day, it would be great if she could lie down by the river and bask in the sun.

"You've finished writing the bill?" he asked suddenly.

"I haven't written it yet …" After Yu Yan finished speaking, she choked and glared at him. He was staring at her hard enough!

"What are you afraid of? I already said that you can do whatever you want as long as you don't go with a man." He glanced at her and closed his eyes.

Yu Yan suddenly felt that this person had been holding back for too long, wanting to cause a ruckus, so he allowed her to cause a ruckus in the capital.

But if she could avenge the people and avenge her father, why wouldn't she do it?

The Duke Palace's security was tight, and in less than half a month, all of the mansion's people had been replaced by Yulixiao's own, even the servants. Yu Yan had a hard time of it and was caught by him to serve him. She poured some tea and cut candles to wipe her sweat, waiting for him to study at night.

She had been reading books every day like this, and her eyes weren't blind as well … When Yu Yan thought of this, she couldn't help but find it funny. Did she count as a malicious concubine?

The candlelight lightly swayed, and he sat beside the desk for a while. Then, he tossed a medicinal book to Yu Yan and said in a low voice: "Go and report this."

Yu Yan flipped it over and hesitated: "What if she doesn't believe it?"

"That's her business." Without raising his head, he continued to flip through the book.

However, after entering the Palace for so long, he was completely different from those ordinary people. Although he was also a girl, most of the time he spent them reading his books, which made it easy to read them for several hours.

She cut the candle and curiously looked at the military manual in his hands. After taking a few glances, she realized that something was not right. This was not a military manual, but a paper that she had written in the past! He collected them and had them copied into books.

"Not bad." He looked up at her.

"Why are you looking at this?" Yu Yan was a little uncomfortable.

"Let's see what kind of girl you are." He threw away the sheet of paper and pulled out a few more pages to read.

Yu Yan took a few glances and felt even more uncomfortable. This was a story that Nightmare did not choose to enter, they had written more than ten at the beginning and only ordered nine books to read. Amongst the ones that did not, there were two that she wrote, the story of Tree Demons and Flower Spirit.

"Why are they tree demons and flower spirits?" He looked at it for a while before asking in a low voice.

"I just casually wrote it." Yu Yan braced herself and replied.

"Rising Musical Brilliance." He read a page and looked up at her.

"What motive do you have for praising me?" Yu Yan was confused, her attitude was so good today, she did not scold her the whole night, did the sun rise from the west?

"Impudent! Who said that you have an ulterior motive for praising me?" His face darkened and he slapped the book.

"This servant knows her wrongs." Yu Yan quickly looked down.

"Get out." he rebuked angrily.

"Yes, get lost now." Yu Yan really wished that she could go back and sleep.

"Get back here." he snapped again.

Yu Yan could only return and sigh as he looked at him, "My prince, I am so tired now, and really want to sleep."

Yulixiao's pupils contracted slightly as he said with a cold smile, "This king is not sleepy."

"Then continue reading." Yu Yan's chin moved slightly as she looked at the book in his hands.

"This King is going for a walk." He dropped the book and looked at her mockingly.

This was clearly trying to mess with her! He was too idle, he didn't go to court, he didn't care about anything, he focused all his attention on her, how tired she was! Yu Yan did not dare to resist, she could only push the wheelchair out, the guards at the door were helping to bring the wheelchair out to the flat land. Yu Yan wanted to turn on the mechanism on the wheelchair, but she pushed and relaxed her fingers.

Just as he made a few faces behind him, he spoke again. "Come over here and hammer This King's legs …"

Yu Yan went over and squatted down beside his legs, giving him a light beating. When she looked up at the sky, she only saw the moon growing round, and suddenly thought, could it be that it was because the moon was about to round, causing him to be unable to calm down, thus making things difficult for her?

"A little more." he said suddenly.

Yu Yan obediently touched her hands, suddenly she felt that something was wrong and slowly lowered her head. She only saw her hands at his side.

She let out a soft cry and quickly retracted her hand, but was stopped by him. Looking at his eyes, the flames within his eyes were currently dancing and burning …

Yu Yan had guessed it right, he had indeed been holding it in for a long time. When Yu Yan smelled the fragrance off her body, she could only watch, endure …

Suddenly, he frowned and groaned.

So it was Yu Yan, and she pinched him ruthlessly.

"You dare to capture me …"

"It wasn't intentional." Yu Yan's face flushed red, she quickly retreated.

Yulixiao suddenly stood up and grabbed her in large strides. With a bitter face, he retreated a few steps, and in a few steps, he caught in his palm. He pulled his into his embrace.

Yu Yan was being rubbed in his arms, his hands circled behind her back and gently rubbed her back.

When the guards and servants saw this, they hurriedly turned around and held their breath, not daring to cause any trouble for him.

The two of them were entangled with each other, when they suddenly heard Ye Sujian's voice from outside the door: "My prince, I made some soup for you, and wanted to personally bring it to you."

When he looked outside through the flower branches, he saw Ye Jane holding a tray and looking in his direction. He didn't know why she had bypassed the guards and was approaching his small courtyard!

Yu Yan was extremely clear in her heart that there was at least one person, who was also a spy from the palace, who was staring at Yulixiao.

Yulixiao's arms wrapped around her, grabbing onto her shoulders, pressing his entire body against her body, his arms wrapped around her, and he fell down.

But Yu Yan did not expect him to do this, after struggling with all her might, when Yulixiao pulled at her again, she could no longer hold back. With a startled cry, he pushed her down to the ground, crushing his bones and flesh so hard that he was about to shatter.

He's so heavy!

It was too heavy!

Yu Yan screamed and used all her strength to push him up.

"Try it again!" He whispered threats into her ear.

Yu Yan took a deep breath and turned her head with great difficulty.

The guards were running over to lift him up and place him in the wheelchair. Another eunuch said in a soft voice, "Your Highness, how can Miss Yu Yan bear to carry Your Highness?"

"Help her up." Yulixiao stared at her who was still lying on the ground and said softly.

The maidservants hurried over and helped Yu Yan, who was about to faint from the fall, up. The hairpin on her head fell out and broke into several pieces, her black hair fell down all the way to her knees, and when they turned to look at him, their eyes were red. However, she held back her tears and only lightly pursed her lips, allowing the servants to help her back.

She was made of fresh meat. How could he make such use of her?

"Prince?" Ye Sujian called out again from outside, her neck stretched out as she kept looking around.

"No one has ever taught you the rules when you called the Steward Fu over? Who was it that was still wandering around? Confining Ye Sujian for one month, and not coming out. " Yulixiao turned his head and roared in a low voice.

"Yes." The eunuch hurried out.

From outside, the sound of porcelain bowls shattering could be heard. Ye Sujian panicked and begged for mercy, it was as if the strings of a zither were being snapped, it was extremely sharp and ear-piercing.

Yu Yan was sent back to the courtyard by the servants. She sat on the bed and rolled up her sleeves and skirt. Her elbows and knees turned blue as they looked at him.

She put her legs on the bed and wiped away her tears. What was there to cry about? She couldn't escape from these wounds. As long as she stayed here for a day, even worse injuries would fall on her body.

Nian En ran over, and when she saw the condition of her hands and legs, she covered her lips and exclaimed out loud. She quickly ran to get some ointment and melted it with warm water, rubbing it lightly on her knees.

"I'll do it myself." Yu Yan pushed both of their hands away, took the ointment and smeared it on the bruises on her knees.

Nian En and Nian An watched on from the side. They wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how. Nian En brought water over for her to wash her face and feet.

"You guys go rest, there's no need to wait for me." Yu Yan didn't want to show any weakness in front of the two of them, so she lowered her head, put her foot into the bowl and said that in a low voice.
