Qiu Xuanling waved her hands at her, then led her servant forward.

"Esteemed Empress, why don't you stop? Your highness already knew that you were doing this on purpose. If you get angry and punish you …" Nian En pulled her sleeves and advised her softly.

"No, I must see for myself that this matter is fishy." Yu Yan shook her head, gently pulling her sleeves back as her footsteps became faster.

Seeing that she was the one who had arrived, the servant of the Cui Lang courtyard hurriedly went in to report. Not long later, he came out to lead the two of them in.

Yulixiao and Chen Yao were both here, the room was filled with the smell of medicine, the servants were all holding their breaths, not daring to breathe too loudly. Seeing her enter, Yulixiao only coldly swept her a glance, then looked towards the glass couch with golden threads flowing through it.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Yao."

Yu Yan bowed and went straight to the side of the bed. She gently lifted the embroidered cloth, and when she saw Ye Mingyue's arm, she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed.

She had applied the dark green herb all over her arms, which faintly revealed the black and red colour. Her eyes had already cried until there was only a slit left, and she was still choking.

But yesterday, she clearly had silk sleeves covering her face. No matter how many bees there were, the most she had was the back of her hand and her wrist.

"Prince, may I speak with you for a moment?" She turned around and whispered to Yulixiao.

Yulixiao did not make a sound, but lightly waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "All of you leave."

The servants quickly retreated, there were only the four of them in the room, Ye Mingyue occasionally cried out softly. Chen Yao went over to look at Ye Mingyue, turned her head, and said to Yu Yan:

"Yu Yan, you misunderstood me yesterday. This Snow Gel is indeed fragrant enough to attract a Bee Butterfly, but I do not have any intention to harm you. Since the Prince has let you know the truth, then you are the closest person to us, someone who can live and die with us. The three of us should work together to serve the Prince, and not let anything happen to the Prince's backyard that would ruin his plans. Mingyue's family was in charge of the nine great banks and two shipping lines. If Mingyue has something to do, and if outsiders find an opportunity to take advantage of it, then make your highness spend too much effort in doing so. "

Yu Yan lowered her eyes and listened. After she finished speaking, she laughed and said softly: "Mrs. Yao misunderstood me. It's a pity you fell in the back garden. If you fell in my yard, you wouldn't be affected by it. "

"You …" Chen Yao's face paled again.

In terms of eloquence, Chen Yao was truly unable to obtain any benefits from Yu Yan. Yu Yan had not said anything previously, but since yesterday's matter had already been done, she would definitely not carry it on her shoulders alone. Only she knew what Chen Yao's intentions were.

"Also, Your Highness, no matter how many things Madam Mingyue's family does for you, it is still your responsibility." Yu Yan laughed and said softly.

Chen Yao's expression darkened, he pulled her finger and softly said: "Then how are your injuries? No one was sent to take a look yesterday either. "

"Great luck, great luck. I'm really fine, maybe I washed them well with wine." Yu Yan raised her finger for the two to see, her bright eyes swept across Chen Yao, and met eyes with Yulixiao, then asked: "Your Highness, may I have a word with you?"

Only then did Yulixiao push the wheels of the wheelchair, turned around, and said indifferently: "Chen Yao, you stay here and take good care of Mingyue."

"Yes." Chen Yao immediately bowed, her face was filled with rage, but it was already too late, as her hands had been twisted to the point of turning white.

Yu Yan swept a glance at her, and went over to push his wheelchair to the door, allowing the guards to enter. Carry him out, then push him alone to an empty place.

The more spacious and empty it was, the less likely it was for people to eavesdrop on it.

Only when they were under a clump of bamboo did Yu Yan open his finger again, allowing him to look at the blood droplets on the tip of his finger, and said softly: "My prince, this prince's mansion has a lot of poisonous creatures, spiders, bees, and bugs. There are experts controlling these poisonous bugs here, if you don't find him, I'm afraid there will be something else that will cause trouble."

Yulixiao stared at her face for a long time before finally replying, "A sharp tongue."

Yu Yan was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Women fight in the backyard, the Prince came to watch the show, and did not lose anything, maybe the Prince will not be afraid that the Mingyue family will not take care of things for the Prince anymore."

"Bullshit." He lightly rebuked and his tone was very calm.

Yu Yan looked up at him, and knew that he knew what she had said last night.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Why are you saying all this to This King?"

"Yu Yan is willing to work for Your Highness and find out the truth in this matter." Yu Yan muttered to herself for a moment.

"Tell me the truth." He just sneered and stared at her.

Yu Yan coughed dryly, raising a finger, and said softly: "Of the three of them, I was clearly stung by a bee, Mrs. Yao had to deal with it since I was young, and was protected by the medicine, of the three of us, I was the only one who was fine, I was afraid that I would die an even worse death … "If I hadn't mentioned it, perhaps the prince wouldn't have investigated …"

"Just because you're afraid of death, you can just grow a pair of wings and fly away. But remember, if you dare to spread your wings, This King will shoot you down with one arrow." Yulixiao scoffed once again, turned his wheelchair, and was about to leave.

"Your Highness …" "I was just drunk …" Yu Yan chased after him and whispered: "What if all of these were used to harm your highness?"

"This King is immune to poisons." he said flatly.

Yu Yan stopped, her eyebrows furrowed as she followed him forward slowly. That damned stingy bun, she was obviously afraid of being ambushed, which was why she got people to pay attention to her courtyard. He was afraid that she would plot against him and even said that she was immune to poisons!

At this moment, he turned her head again, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "There is one more thing that you must remember, Yu Yan. This king never needs women to do anything for me, the reason why I brought Chen Yao and Ye Mingyue with me is because they make this king happy. You too, no matter how smart you are, how much you argue, how much you fight, I'm happy, I'm willing to let you go, so you can do these things. Otherwise, This King will break your wings and cut off your feathers, making it so that you will never be able to fly or be happy. This King does not wish to pursue yesterday's matter because This King is still happy to see you right now. "

Yu Yan no longer said anything. What a heartless man, she had only said that Ye Mingyue was happy when she was injured like that …

"Accompany This King out of the estate." His voice came from the front. Although it was a 'company', it was a command.

Yu Yan walked slowly to catch up. She did not pass through the main entrance, but rather, a very remote corner of the gate. His horse carriage was already waiting for him.

Or perhaps the look she'd just made as she nervously looked around pleased him, and he reached out and gave her a hand.

This time, he did not use his dazzling purple carriage. It was just an ordinary black wooden carriage that the women used. If it was only him, then it could still be considered spacious. There were only two people, yet he was still so tall and took up a lot of space.

Yu Yan sat down and moved her position, she did not want to get too close to him, so she asked softly: "How can you stand up like that?"

He turned his head to look at her and said in a deep voice, "Are you worried about this king?"

"Buzz …" Yu Yan gasped, she was afraid that if anyone saw her, they would use her as an accomplice to punish them! Of course, she didn't dare to say anything. She only smiled and stuck close to the wooden carriage. She used the handkerchief to gently wipe away the droplet of blood.

As the carriage lurched out, he suddenly said, "It won't die."

Well, the sting, or her looking around?

He stopped talking and rested against the cushion.

Yu Yan gently opened the window curtain and looked out. The carriage was heading towards the south. Most of the aristocratic children in the south were there for entertainment. The chess hall, the tavern, and the dog race were all places that required a huge amount of money.

Suddenly, he started to move about beside him, Yu Yan turned and looked at him, he had just taken off his extremely ugly mask, and touched another mask to cover herself with, her black hair draped behind him, she changed into a purple robe, on it did not have any beautiful patterns, and only had a silver cloud embroidered on her sleeves. The mask on his face was a bit dark, making him look like a normal escort in the martial arts world.

The car slowly drove through the southern part of the city, but it did not stop at any of the restaurants or chess halls. Yu Yan was curious, but she didn't know where he was going.

He began to change her shoes again, the kind of shoes with white and black cloth that ordinary people wear. Yu Yan squeezed herself closer to the carriage and continued to stare at the various shops that were slowly retreating. Suddenly, the biggest book market in the capital appeared before her eyes!

Yu Yan's heartbeat sped up, her hand covering her chest, she stuck her head out, her eyes filled with joy.

Every year at the end of spring, there would be examinations for students from all over the world entering the capital. Some of them came early, bringing new books from all over the world, as well as poems and plays written by the scholars themselves.

Ever since Yu Yan was able to walk, she had come here with her father every year. This year, she was still thinking of when she could come over. She had entered this book market, but she was like a fish that had entered the ocean, not wanting to return!

The carriage stopped.

Yulixiao pushed open the carriage door and stepped down, then indifferently said: "Wait for me here."

"Huh?" Yu Yan panicked when she heard it. How could she miss such a good opportunity? She pulled at his sleeve and hurriedly begged him, "Your Highness, please take me with you."

"You want people to recognize you?" He said it coldly.

"Do you have a mask? Give me one." Yu Yan held onto his sleeve without letting go.

"Here." He pointed to the white-haired hood lying at one side.

Yu Yan creased her eyebrows and looked at him in grief.

In truth, Yu Yan was really quite pleased with Yulixiao. From the moment she wanted to speak with him alone, to the moment she looked around nervously when she boarded the horse carriage, Yulixiao was very happy. He felt that a person had to have the intention before being able to express it. Although Yu Yan had a stubborn mouth, during these few times where he had interacted with him, she didn't reject her like before, and there was even a need to pander to her …

's feelings, when placed with Yu Yan, could only be described with one word … Unjustly accused!

She was just afraid of death and didn't want to wrongly lose her life, so she wanted to know the truth. He was also exhausted to the point that he couldn't be bothered to fight back.

The two of them glared at each other for a moment, then he took out a square brocade handkerchief from his bosom, folded it into a triangle, and tied it onto her face.

"My face is small, just nice." His palm landed on her pretty face the size of a palm. He stared at the birthmark on her forehead and frowned. Then, he also scattered her hair, covering half her wings with it.

"His hair is disheveled?" Yu Yan touched his hair and was a little hesitant.

"This King does not mind." Then he gave her his hand and pulled her down.

Yu Yan was a little surprised at this moment. She had just caused him trouble yesterday and injured the Madam Mingyue who made him happy, but he was still able to happily bring her out. Could it really be the old saying — Men only love to laugh at new people, who cares about old people crying every night?
