The last time it was a spider, this time it was a bee, and there was even a love seeking pigeon. Was it all a coincidence? She was the one who declared war on him!
It was all his fault. He wanted to be happy for a moment and act impulsively!
She picked another peony and held it in her hand, looking around her, puzzled.
"Empress." Nian An came over and anxiously pulled her hand to look, "I heard that there's a hiver in the garden, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, is Nian En back yet?" She shook her head and followed Nian An out.
"He's not back yet, he must be having fun!" Next time, let this servant go out to do some work as well. This servant here runs even faster than that glutton Nian En, I will definitely be back early. " Nian An begged her softly.
"Alright." Yu Yan replied as she saw a group of people in front of him rushing towards Ye Mingyue's courtyard. If this matter destroyed the hands of that lute, then it would be too much of a pity, it would be her fault! She sighed to herself, blaming herself for being so vicious.
Nian En came back very late, she placed the chicken leg and lotus root knot on a plate and brought it to the table, then whispered, "Since Old Man Wu is too old to teach, I might as well write it all down on a piece of paper for him to read. However, I'm afraid we will still lose this case. "
"So what if I lose? There are so many matters of injustice in the world, can the Empress even interfere in all of it? " Nian An glared at Nian En, blaming her for being nosy.
"It would be great if I could attend the hall myself, but unfortunately, I can't." Yu Yan sat in front of the mirror and took down the hairpin. With her long hair scattered, she sighed to the mirror and said softly, "There's a lawsuit in front of the court that makes the other party speechless. That feeling is simply beautiful beyond words! I'm so itchy and I can't stop it. It's so annoying. "
"Empress, what is your hobby?" "The girls all love flowers and powders, if not, they all love embroidery shoes, and you love quarrelling with others." Nian An opened the jar of Peach Blossom Wine on the table and smiled at Yu Yan.
"Mm, this lady loves to quarrel with others." Yu Yan said lazily as she stood up from in front of her dressing mirror and slowly walked towards the table.
"Empress, show me your finger." Nian En pulled her finger, held up the candle and looked at it carefully, then said softly: "This red packet, looks like it was bitten by a spider on the Empress's arm."
"Is that so?" Yu Yan pulled down her sleeves and let her hold the candle closer to him.
"It's true!" Nian An also came over and exclaimed in a small voice, "Look, it's all red like blood."
Almost a month had passed since the spider's bite, but the color was still bright red. It was indeed strange. As for where the bee stung, logically speaking, it should have swelled up, but it quickly shrunk into a small red dot.
I wonder if those two ladies are like this?
"Come, let's eat. It's rare for us to be in peace and quiet tonight. No one comes to bother us. It's so delicious, so delicious." Yu Yan let go of this matter and sat on the side of the table.
"Empress, are you saying that the Prince is annoying you?" Nian An sat down and picked up a chicken leg to bite on.
"Yes, that's him." Yu Yan smiled and nodded.
"Aiya, the two of you should keep your voices down. I heard that the prince's mansion is heavily guarded and they're keeping a close watch. Who knows, there might be people squatting on our rooftops, eavesdropping on our conversation …" Nian En pointed to the roof, and then brought his hands to his mouth, his voice was soft and mysterious.
Yu Yan held the wine cup and finished it in one gulp. Coward, not a crow, why squat on a roof? What's more, you're saying it like that, don't tell me they're watching us sleep at night? "Bullsh * t, you heard him snoring too?"
"Empress, can you be more gentle?" Nian An frowned, shaking the chicken leg in her hand: "What is fart, that is turbid air."
"Sven, show you?" Yu Yan picked up her wine jug and walked out quickly, smiling as she said: "Come here, I'll call Crow to come down and show you."
"What?" Both of them followed her out, looking at her curiously.
The moonlight fell onto her body, and just now, she had only torn off half of her clothes to see the bite marks on her arm, and had not yet completely pulled them up. Thus, half of her shoulder was exposed, and a pair of beautiful legs could vaguely be seen under her thin skirt.
"Hey, on the roof, come down." She raised her head and the wine entered her throat. She smacked her lips and let out a loud and clear cry.
Nian En and Nian An couldn't help but laugh. When Yu Yan got drunk, he became especially bold.
The three of them were having fun when two shadows jumped down from the rooftop and knelt before them.
"What orders does Miss Yu Yan have?"
Yu Yan was drinking her wine, with a mouthful of spicy liquid in her throat, she immediately coughed to the point that her lungs were about to jump out.
Nian En and Nian An screamed out in fear and hugged each other tightly.
"You … What are you doing on the roof? " Yu Yan finally caught her breath, pointed at the two and asked angrily.
"In reply to the lady's request, I will be on patrol every night." The two of them raised their heads. When they saw that her clothes were half-naked, they quickly lowered their heads again.
Yu Yan was completely dumbstruck, she covered her mouth and said softly: "Did you all hear what we said in the house?"
"Yes."
"Do you even know how to tell the truth to the prince?"
"Yes."
"Can you not tell me?"
"By the orders of the king, all matters within the palace, regardless of whether they are huge or small, must be revealed to the king."
When Yu Yan heard here, her face darkened and she coldly asked: "Is it in the Palace or here?"
"It is indeed the mansion. Every night, every lady's courtyard will be carefully inspected so as to not let any thieves ambush them."
"Let's go." Yu Yan waved them back.
Those two tall figures flashed and leaped onto the roof, running towards Chen Yao's courtyard.
"Empress …" "Your hobbies are going to be heard by the prince again, and you say you find him annoying …" Nian An said with a sullen face and a sobbing tone.
"Did I?" Yu Yan turned her neck, and swept a glance over her.
"Nope." Nian En immediately shook her head.
"They heard wrong, I mean …" Your highness is really annoying! " Yu Yan said snappily as she turned and entered the hut.
The alcohol was gone!
"What if Prince asks you tomorrow?" Nian En asked worriedly.
"He won't ask. Madam Mingyue is injured, he must be there to pacify her." Most of the prince's salary was provided by the wealthy Jiang-Nan merchants led by the Ye family. The Ye family will also take care of all of the princes' private businesses. "
"How does the Empress know?" Did Your Highness tell you that? " Nian An asked curiously.
Otherwise, how could Ye Mingyue, a merchant's daughter, be one of the four madam? If the King's Armoured Cavalry wants to eat and drink, if he hasn't returned for a few years, where would all this money come from? " Yu Yan laughed and sat down on the side of the table, using her fingers to pick up the Lotus Root Starch, it was very spicy and along with the sweet peach blossom wine, it was simply too delicious.
"The Empress is so intelligent, I'm afraid she has to hide it. Most men don't like her. Even if they know, they would pretend not to know. "Moreover, the Empress has already offended all four of them. If the four of them join hands to deal with you in the future, wouldn't you be favored by the Prince? What will we do then?" Nian En was even more worried, she grabbed her hand and did not let her drink anymore.
Yu Yan's smile became lighter, and she said softly: "Why do you need men to like it? It was good that she liked her. If they want to deal with me, just come at me. If I don't warn them, they will only get worse. If that's not the case, then I just need to grow wings and fly away. Why would I need a man for that? "
After drinking a little too much, Yu Yan laid on the bed in her clothes. She only felt her entire body burning hot and dry as she took off her undergarments, allowing her back to be stuck to the smooth and cold silk. She then took out a handkerchief and lightly slapped her face, then looked at the spot where her fingers were stung, just like a drop of blood.
It was a drowsy night and he didn't know how to sleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already morning.
After stretching her back, Nian En was drying her clothes and cleaning the courtyard. Nian En thought carefully, afraid that someone would plot against her, so she made the clothes and food herself. Even though she lived in a small independent courtyard like the Fourth Madam, she did not have the talent that the Fourth Madam had. Fortunately, Yu Yan still had some money saved up, which could support him for a few days.
Seeing her come out, Nian An ran over and served her. Nian En shook off the clothes in her hands, hung it on the rope, and turned to look at her.
"Empress, Madam Mingyue is severely injured. Everyone has gone to take a look. You should go as well."
"Yes." Yu Yan also wanted to see if the scars on their arms were similar to hers, they were beads of blood.
After leisurely eating, he called Nian En over to take a look at Ye Mingyue's small courtyard.
"This servant will go as well." Nian An chased her to the entrance of the courtyard and pleaded softly.
"Watch the yard, you're not allowed to go anywhere." Yu Yan gave her a sharp glare, and Nian An obediently turned her head back.
"Empress, you didn't bring a gift?" Nian En asked her softly.
"She is so rich, what does she want? We're just going to visit a patient. There's no need to bring anything. " Yu Yan shook her head.
Nian En did not say anymore, the master and servant had already passed through the Pear Blossom Forest, and from afar, they saw Qiu Xuanling covering her cheeks and immediately running in front of her, when she saw her, she immediately pulled down her hand that was covering her cheek, letting Yu Yan look at her own face, and said with a sobbing tone:
"Sister, look at my face! I'm finished! I'm so ugly! Your highness will definitely hate me!"
When Yu Yan saw this, she sucked in a breath of cold air. The girl's right cheek was completely swollen.
"And Sister Mingyue's arm, that would be terrible! The doctor said that if the poison did not return, his arm would be useless, and he would not be able to play the lute anymore. " Qiu Xuanling pointed to Ye Mingyue's courtyard again as tears flowed down her cheeks.
"He's red and swollen like you?" Yu Yan asked softly.
"She's even stronger! Sister Mingyue is in so much pain that she wants to die. The prince has always been by her side." Qiu Xuanling wiped away her tears and replied bitterly.
Yu Yan was a little apologetic, she just wanted to scare those people, she didn't want those bees to be so poisonous! But why was she fine?
She raised her finger and stared at the bead of blood without saying a word.
"Elder sister, why are you alright? What medicine did you use? " Qiu Xuanling asked curiously as she looked at her fingers.
"He picked out the poisonous thorns and washed them with wine." Yu Yan replied as she walked towards Ye Mingyue's small courtyard. She wanted to see with her own eyes the injuries on her arm.
"Your highness is in a bad mood. Elder sister, you have to be careful when you speak." Qiu Xuanling shouted to her.
Yu Yan turned his head, smiled and nodded: "Thank you Madam for your reminder."
