She was injured, and these two maidservants were waiting on her. These two maidservants were injured, who could rely on them? Therefore, she could not be weak in front of the two of them!
"But …" "Call the doctor to have a look, I don't know if he has broken a bone or not." Nian An looked at her wound worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'm not that delicate. Go ahead, I'm just going to wash up and go to sleep." She forced a smile and waved at the two of them.
Nian An still wanted to say something, but Nian En grabbed her finger and pulled her out.
"Why are you holding me? Don't you see how injured the Empress is?" Nian An's dissatisfied voice came from outside the closed door.
"Let the Empress rest quietly by herself. Stop bothering her. Can't you see that she doesn't even want to cry in front of us?" Nian En's voice was even softer.
But this courtyard was very quiet, and her hearing was far too good. Once Nian En's words were heard, her tears fell. She sniffed, wiped her face, rubbed her feet against each other in the water, picked up the ointment, dug into a large lump, and rubbed it on her elbow.
Pain, injury, tiredness, you can take it yourself, what else can you do?
Originally, her husband was heaven, earth, and so on. However, to her, he was something she could not shake off her fear.
She was very afraid of Yulixiao. This person's power was too great, and she was very clear that 90% of the world belonged to Yulixiao. When the time came, there would be three thousand harem, countless beauties, and there would be no place for her.
Yu Yan was worried about her fate, and desperately tried to escape, but everything in front of him was pitch black. She couldn't see the moonlight, and she couldn't even see the sunlight!
Tears came to her eyes again. She was just a small girl, a girl who was as young as she could be, who was trying her best to walk in the mortal world. She didn't want to live in fear.
Who, to protect her, to love her?
The door suddenly opened slowly, and she looked up in panic to see Yulixiao standing at the door, her face filled with tears.
After a moment of silence, she hurriedly raised her hand and used the back of her hand to wipe her tears away. There was medicine in her hand, and when it entered her eyes, she let out a muffled groan.
Look, it's the medicine, not the tears she wants to cry!
Also, because the moon was full tonight, it could affect her mood, which was why she was so weak. She actually cried after falling down!
He looked down at her for a moment, then squatted down, dipped his hands in the water, and poured water over her calves. Then he wiped it with a cloth and took out a green bamboo tube and poured some cold, dark green liquid into his palm. He covered it, then covered it over her legs and slowly rubbed it down her knees.
"Pain." Her foot stomped on the water, causing the water to splash about. Many crystals flew onto his face.
His long rough fingers gripped her ankles, and his breathing suddenly became heavy. When he raised his head to look at her, the ferocious scars on his face caused her to forcefully close her eyes.
"Your highness wants to see the real Yu Yan, and I invite your highness to be the real you here with Yu Yan."
His eyes darkened.
Yu Yan was one of the bravest people in the world.
Yu Yan was one of the most cowardly people in the world.
He looked at Yu Yan and raised his hand to gently pull the exquisite knot on his hood. He slowly pulled it off, revealing his original face.
This request, only Yu Yan dared to make it in front of him.
But what he did not know was that, not only was Yu Yan not able to look at his face because she was as ugly as a ghost, more importantly, it always made her think of the moment her father was caned to death. The moment his face was smashed...
Their cruel actions did not allow their father to die with even a little bit of dignity.
Her tears began to flow again, and the ointment she accidentally rubbed into her eyes hurt so much that her eyes went blind.
He stood up, went to the table and brought her tea, soaking the handkerchief, and dabbed at her eyes.
"There is no need for Your Highness to worry. I will do it myself." Yu Yan reached out to snatch the silk handkerchief.
Yulixiao grabbed her wrist, and said in a low voice: "Other girls, you are the only one who doesn't wish to court death. You are truly not afraid of death."
"Then Prince can just kill me." Yu Yan pursed her lips and said softly.
The room was quiet enough to hear each other's heartbeats. He lifted her chin again and continued to wipe her eyes with the brocade handkerchief. He said slowly, "How could I have killed you?"
There was no ridicule in these words.
Yu Yan opened her painful and hazy eyes, staring at him angrily.
Suddenly, he bent down and kissed her lips softly. Yu Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide and kicked with her feet, causing the water basin to overturn. He pressed her down, locked her firmly in her arms, and collapsed into the pile of soft quilts.
Yu Yan had only had such a comfortable quilt since she had entered the small courtyard. Such silk, such cotton, such a bed, such a bed, were all given to him by him, and were not the least bit inferior to the Fourth Madam.
It was all arranged by Chen Yao, and also paid for by him. She was desperately trying to write a sheet of paper and draw a draft of a book. One copy was worth no more than fifty taels of silver, and she was overjoyed at the fact that she was so rich. This pillow was worth over a hundred taels of silver, and this tent was worth over a thousand taels of silver …
Yu Yan opened her eyes wide, looking at the embroidered tent above him, she did not stop him from invading.
He was so tired, so exhausted that he fainted …
On his tongue, the faint smell of herbs was pressed into the taste buds on the tip of her tongue. It quickly spread to her heart, making her feel bitter.
"Sorry, I was going to let you fall on my body …" He jerked his head to one side and whispered into her ear.
Yu Yan almost thought she heard wrongly, her breath tightened as he kissed her again. This time, the kiss was completely different from the previous gentle caress, it was very fierce, very fierce! Fierce to the point that she couldn't breathe! Like a flood dragon, he had to entangle her until her bones were shattered before she was willing to give up.
She whimpered, trying to hide.
At once his hand closed around her shoulder and he kissed her neck, her shoulder.
Yu Yan should have rejected him, but now, her reason and tears were in a mess as they scattered in all directions. Only her body was melted away along with his strong kiss, like a block of ice in the heart of a lake that had quietly melted in spring, pushed and pushed by the tide … Can't find the direction...
He suddenly stopped and looked up at her. You lied to me? "
Yu Yan's face suddenly flushed red. She had come before, but she had already been cleaned the day before yesterday!
He sat up on his knees and watched her frown.
Her delicate lips trembled as she stared at him. She was staring at him with tears in her eyes, as if a blink of an eye could cause a small lake to burst.
The tears of a beauty were extremely powerful.
"Yu Yan..." The more he breathed, the more she wrapped herself in her arms.
Yu Yan closed and then opened her eyes and looked at him. She wanted to say something and let go, but no words came out.
It seemed as if time had stopped after a few decades or hundreds of years. They were clearly two people who mutually rejected each other. Yet in this silent night, under this kind of dim light, they were able to sit so quietly together …
He lowered his head slowly and placed a finger under her chin, his dark eyes fixed on her flushed cheeks. This kind of beauty, this Yu Yan, had silently invaded his heart, he had no choice but to admit it!
"Yu Yan, keep your heart in rest and stay in the Duke Palace."
Yu Yan did not make a sound, and kept the fish she caught into the pond, and since the pond was shallow and had many fishes, it would not be happy for long with the intense competition.
The Duke Palace was covered in moonlight and the Fourth Madam's courtyard was lit up by candles. The sound of lute could be heard from Ye Mingyue's room. She was very talented, and she never forgot about it. She even improved it to become her arpeggios.
Ye Sujian was crying, her grief like a fox that couldn't find food in winter.
Qiu Xuanling was heartlessly singing, her figure swaying back and forth on the paper window.
Chen Yao's yard was the quietest. She sat in her courtyard and looked up at the sky, her hands tightly holding onto her handkerchief. She was looking at the stars and the moon … Suddenly, cold droplets of water dripped from her face. More and more droplets appeared …
It wasn't tears, it was rain! It was raining heavily!
She suddenly laughed, stood up, waved the silk handkerchief in her hand, spun it in the rain, and started dancing along with Ye Mingyue's lute.
One dance could bring about great beauty, two could bring down a nation, and three could bring about four dances. However, it had never been able to bring down that person's heart! He originally thought that the person would be able to hold a woman in his heart in this world, but he didn't know that he would be able to do so.
Chen Yao cried.
The dance became faster and faster, and with the dense rain, the skirt clung to her body, and her soft waist twisted into an incredible curve.
A woman having love was hard to come by. Had she, Chen Yao, lost just like that? She stopped her spinning footsteps and turned her head to look at Yu Yan's courtyard, her eyes filled with killing intent.
She did not know what kind of medicine Yulixiao gave her, but her bruises had recovered by more than half. She twisted her elbow to look for a long time, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right.
"What are you laughing at?" Yu Yan asked, puzzled.
"The prince was here last night." Nian An laughed even more foolishly and stuck her tongue out at her.
Yu Yan suddenly thought, that he was just walking in, could it be that she was being looked at by this foolish girl?
"But how did he get in?" This servant and that stupid girl Nian En are both sitting in the courtyard, and didn't even see how he came in. What's even weirder is that, this servant was actually sitting under a tree and falling asleep, but Nian En that stupid girl actually didn't call for me. "
Nian An walked in, her finger gesturing in the air, her face full of confusion.
"You're the stupid one." Yu Yan was so amused by her that she stood up and pinched her face.
"What else? Empress, you're still crying in the middle of the night. Is Your Highness so brave and fierce?" You made the Empress cry, did it hurt? " Nian An asked again.
"Pah! Shameless! How shameless!" Yu Yan spat at her and threw her out.
"Yi, the Empress wrote and painted it again and again, and even showed us the painting of a man's thing. Now, we're actually blaming ourselves for not feeling ashamed!" Nian An pouted and looked at her in grievance.
"Your mouth is broken, why aren't you going outside to pick up the things?" Nian En walked in quickly, and said hurriedly: "The palace has given you more rewards, hurry up and carry them."
The only servants in the courtyard were Nian En and Nian An. The bodyguard who gave her, Ah Lang, would stay outside the door during the day.
When Yu Yan heard that someone from the Palace came, he got annoyed again. She walked to the door and looked.
"What is it?" Yu Yan asked curiously.
"Look, what treasure!" Nian An ran over, and with a tug on the embroidered cloth with her fingers, a beautiful white feather appeared in front of the three women.
It was the White Peacock!
"A gift from King Qi." The imperial eunuch respectfully bowed.
"Give it to me?" "Take it back, I don't want it." Yu Yan was startled, thinking of King QI's rudeness yesterday, her small face darkened, and she turned to enter the house.
"Young lady, please do not make things difficult for this servant. This servant can only follow the orders of the king and is not responsible to take it back. This servant will take his leave now." After the eunuch finished speaking, he turned around and walked away. His speed was as fast as if the soles of his feet had been smeared with oil.
"Wow! Empress, didn't you say that as long as it is for you, you can take it?" If anyone has the nerve to come and ask for help, let's see if he has the face to enter this door. " Nian An was completely excited when she saw this beautiful bird. After circling around a few times, she turned to look at Yu Yan.
