What was he doing? What did he want? Teach her swordsmanship? Yu Yan finally understood and turned to look at him in shock. Bringing her out so late to teach her swordsmanship?
"Practice point, I haven't taught anyone else martial arts." He ignored her look of astonishment as he lightly spoke. His hand tightened as he brought her up with his sword.
"But …" "Why?" Yu Yan asked, puzzled.
"If you want to climb the mountain of blades and descend the sea of fire for me, how can you not learn some skills? You want to use your weak body to block the arrows for me? " He was still calm as he held her waist with his other hand and turned her around before stabbing down on her. "Teach you the simplest of chants. Remember, I will only say it once."
Yu Yan's mind was in a mess, she could only follow his movements mechanically, she could not understand what was going on at all.
He treated her this gently, embraced her this way, taught her every move and style seriously … He was not Yun Qin, why did he suddenly become like Yun Qin and teach her how to practice the sword?
"Do you remember?" Seeing that she was distracted, he stopped and slapped her on the butt.
Yu Yan cried out lightly in pain, she struggled out of his embrace and held onto the place where he was hurting, and anxiously said: "Prince, there is no need to teach, I do not have the qualifications, and cannot learn, to prevent Prince from getting angry from teaching, I better go back and rest."
Yulixiao's gaze gradually turned cold. He picked up the wooden branch she threw on the ground, lightly whipped her shoulder a few times, and said in a deep voice, "I can't learn it, you're not allowed to eat tomorrow. When have you learned it, and when are you going to eat?"
"You … "I …" Yu Yan wanted to retort a little, but swallowed his words back, and gently nodded, "Then let's not eat it."
"You … "How dare you!" He flew into a rage and slapped her hard on the shoulder with the branch in his hand.
To him, just half of his strength was enough for her to feel as if her bones were about to split open! The pain made him crouch to the ground. He held his hand tightly, not daring to let go. His entire right arm could no longer move.
Seeing that he had hurt her, he felt a tinge of regret. He threw away the branch and said depressingly, "If you don't want to learn, then don't."
Yu Yan did not make a sound.
"Let me see." He came over and bent down to take her hand.
Yu Yan covered her even more tightly, unwilling to let him pull off her clothes. He was temperamental and extremely difficult to serve. Who knew if he would beat her or not?
"Let's take a look!"
Furious, he pulled her hand away and pushed her to the ground. Kneeling beside her, he pulled off her brocade robe, revealing a red, swollen shoulder.
He breathed heavily and turned to look at her.
She gently closed her eyes. Her breathing was shallow and rapid. One could clearly see that she was enduring her emotions.
"Tender and tender." He muttered to himself and took out the medicine he brought with him. He rubbed it on his palm where it was reddened before gently rubbing it to let the medicine enter his skin.
Yu Yan didn't move and let him do whatever she wanted.
"It wasn't intentional." He frowned and explained in a low voice.
The corner of Yu Yan's mouth curved, and she spoke in a low voice: "Your highness wants to hit me, so what's the relationship between us not doing this on purpose? For people like me, just bear with it. "
"You …"
Yulixiao slightly exerted strength into her palm, causing her to softly cry out in pain once more as he finally opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Get up and go back."
He suddenly felt a little depressed. This woman, no matter how tough or gentle he was, had always kept her heart tightly shut, unwilling to open it up to him. Even if she laid under him and screamed and endured, she would not be seeing him, or perhaps, only Yun Qin, could make her smile, a smile that came from the depths of her eyes, he had not experienced before.
Yu Yan straightened her clothes, crawled up from the grass, and patted off the leaves on the sleeves of the skirt. She picked up the branch and said softly, "I'll learn."
Yulixiao quickly turned his head and looked at her in surprise. He didn't know why she had suddenly changed her mind.
Yu Yan really wished that she could immediately train to a peerless master, possess a hundred years of power, and smash him into meat paste with a palm! She lightly lowered her long eyelashes and softly said, "Prince is right. We should at least learn some skills."
Yulixiao frowned, and asked solemnly: "What, you want to learn to kill me?"
"I don't dare." Yu Yan shook the tree branch in her hand, and said softly: "At least it's not that easy to be killed."
"Yu Yan..." Yulixiao walked back and stared at her for a good while with furrowed brows. Then he said in a deep voice, "I really want to get along with you, nod your head, and the position of wangfei is yours. If you nod your head, I can pamper you too.
Yu Yan stood there with her head lowered, she slowly turned and looked at her swollen shoulder, and said softly: "Is the Prince's pain like this? "If you don't accept it, then just fight …"
"Yu Yan!" Yulixiao's face sank, and berated in a low voice, "Must you misunderstand what I mean? "I clearly didn't mean to hurt you just now …"
"The two of them have served the Prince for so long, why hasn't the Prince taken pity on them? When the day comes that Yu Yan is old and decrepit, will she also be forgotten and left in that small courtyard? " Yu Yan laughed and asked him softly.
Moonlight seeped through the thick foliage and enveloped the two of them. She raised her eyes, looking as calm as the cold moonlight.
Yulixiao's eyes gradually became cold. He coldly looked at the low brow girl in front of him, and after a long while, he finally said lightly: "Since that's the case, then forget it."
Yu Yan rejected her modesty with all her might, causing him to lose more or less of her pride. He looked away from her, then turned and walked back.
Seeing that he had no intention to teach her anymore, Yu Yan followed behind him slowly. After walking a good distance, she realised that she was still holding onto the tree branch, and dancing with it for a while, causing her shoulder to ache. She threw the tree branch away, and quickened her pace.
People had their own paths and talents. She was not someone who was suited for martial arts, nor was she the kind of woman that Yulixiao's pampered would stay for a long time.
The thorns in the flower made the man's blood boil, and a wild thirst rose in his heart. However, the blood would eventually return to his blood vessels and flow with it, and the flower would slowly wither and finally wither after losing the watering of his blood.
Yu Yan saw it very clearly, sometimes people saw things too clearly, and it was not a good thing, so heartless people would live happily, such as Nian An.
He went back the way he had come and went down the well, ignoring her.
Yu Yan stood at the edge of the well for a while, she didn't have the guts to jump down such a high platform, after hesitating for a while, she tried to sit down, then slide down inside again.
When her legs were hanging in the air, a gust of cold wind drilled its way through her collar. After sitting for a while, she closed her eyes, and with a resolute heart, she jumped down.
This underground well was at least three times her height. As she fell straight down, she closed her eyes tightly and hugged her head, ready to withstand the pain of the fierce fall.
"Mm …"
She crashed into a burning bosom. Before she could even catch her breath, she was thrown to the ground by him.
He was very steady and skillful! Yu Yan hurriedly raised her eyes. Under the dim light, he had already turned around and walked forward with large strides.
They had thought that he had already gone back to the city!
Yu Yan held onto her shoulder that was in pain again just now, and quickly followed behind him. It was not too late yet, they could still go back and sleep …
The door of the dark room slowly opened. The room was dark and the embroidered tent was closed tightly. From the outside, it seemed like the two of them were sleeping peacefully.
Yu Yan blessed him and prepared to leave.
"Did This King let you leave?" He turned around and said indifferently.
Yu Yan was startled for a moment, and then turned to look at him.
"Come wait." He pushed the tent aside and sat down, pausing slightly with his right foot to look up at her.
Yu Yan walked over slowly and squatted down beside his legs to take off his shoes and socks. Then, he brought some water for him to wash her feet. He rolled up the corner of his pants. He saw the arrow scars on his legs. There were three arrow wounds on his right leg. There were two knife wounds on his left leg. It seems that she was severely injured.
He stared down at her, his breath coming in shallow gasps, his finger under her chin, staring at her for a moment, then suddenly gripping her shoulder.
Yu Yan only struggled for a moment before being thrown onto the bed.
His eyes were fierce, his hand on her ankle.
Yulixiao had never let go of his pride at that moment in his life, but he let it go in front of Yu Yan. However, Yu Yan didn't accept his kindness. With a wave of her delicate hand, she knocked his pride down to the ground.
Yulixiao had never used such a heart to a woman before in his life. Yu Yan was a fish, she was neither hard nor soft, and while swimming in her own river, he wouldn't be able to grab hold of her.
He was strong and brave, causing Yu Yan to beg for mercy, "Your Highness, slowly …"
"Who allowed you to call me that?" He sneered and pressed her hunched shoulder.
"Let this servant slowly …" Yu Yan frowned, when she was angry, her anger did not disappear for a long time. She should not have provoked him. Wouldn't it be fine if she just learned that sword technique?
Yulixiao stopped and pinched her little face with two long fingers and said softly, "How many days has this duke made you rest? If you want to let Yun Qin go, if you let Lady Xu go, this king will let you go. If you want to let Nian En go, I will let you go too. If you want to do this, I will allow you to do so. Yu Yan, you don't know what's good for you, so you have to make this king treat you like this.
Hearing this, Yu Yan did not say another word, and closed her eyes again. All she could do was submit, not to her heart. He wanted to find her, so he came. However, if she was allowed to circle around him like Chen Yao and the others, thinking about how to make him happy, it would be better to chase her back to her courtyard.
Besides, he would only do it once. It was good if he hated her from then on.
She didn't like it, but she didn't like it. Why did she have to force her to like it? She could obey it, but she would never like it! She had her own dreams. Why didn't she even have a chance to realize them?
Why did he come back? Why did you come back?
She gritted her teeth and didn't shed a single tear. Both of her hands tightly gripped the corner of the blanket as she let him do whatever he wanted …
But the colder Yu Yan was, the more disappointed she became. It was the first time in her life that she expressed goodwill to an active woman, and even though he was chopped off by her just like that, she still fiercely swung her blade down.
"Last time I asked you …" Do you want to... This King dotes on you? "
He stared into her face, his fingers resting lightly on her neck, waiting for an answer.
If he said no again, then his patience would run out!
The upper half of Yu Yan's body was tightly pressed against the cold silk, it was so heavy that she couldn't breathe. To the current Yu Yan, this kind of situation was no less than a form of humiliation.
She took a breath and shook her head.
No, not even if he died! Once his heart sank, he would be on the road to becoming a favorite. If he wasn't careful enough, his body would be smashed to smithereens and he would be covered with injuries.
Don't live like that even if you die!
"You …" Yulixiao was so angry that he grabbed her by the waist and shook her a little, and asked angrily: "Can't you forget about him just like that?"
Who? Yun Qin? Yu Yan covered her ears. Why did she mention Yun Qin now? Yun Qin was a beautiful memory from her bitter days. He was so clean and pure, why did he mention him when he was doing such a thing?
