"The Emperor is blessed." Yu Yan turned around, holding an umbrella in one hand and holding the other to her waist.
Yu Tianqi's breathing became heavy, he stared at her and asked softly: Why are you getting thinner and thinner?
Yu Yan turned her face to the side, and the umbrella tilted down slightly to block half of her body. She whispered, "The rain is heavy, your majesty, please enter.
Sulanqi also walked over slowly, smiling slightly, her gaze sweeping between the two of them, and said softly: So it turns out that Miss Yu Yan likes to see the lotus in the rain?
Yu Tianqi turned his head to look at Sulanqi, a glint flashed across his eyes, and he asked softly: "You two know each other?"
"Oh, I saw you on my way back to the manor." Sulanqi laughed.
Yu Tianqi retracted his gaze, and turned to walk forward.
The eunuchs hurried forward and held up their umbrellas, shielding him from the wind and rain.
Yu Yan let out a sigh of relief and was about to leave when Qiu Xuan Ling pulled her back. She smiled and said, "Go, big sister. What a great opportunity. Let's make up with the prince." Big Sister Yao and Big Sister Mingyue went to the other side of the building to recuperate from their injuries yesterday. This is such a good opportunity, if they were to be here, they wouldn't call me, and they wouldn't see big sister.
Her crisp voice made Yu Tianqi halt in his tracks, and he turned to look over.
"Let's go, the emperor and his highness are here as well. They just came over after chatting and laughing." Qiu Xuanling passionately grabbed her arm.
Yu Yan suddenly became impatient, and quickly said: "Madam, please go. The Prince did not inform me, and I am afraid that I will be displeased. Thank you Madam for your kind intentions."
Qiu Xuanling screamed. If not for Ah Lang pulling him in time, he would have fallen into the pool.
"I'm sorry." Yu Yan only glanced at her, held up the umbrella, and quickly walked to the other side of the bridge.
The torrential rain struck down, striking against the umbrella. Crackling and crackling, it stirred up the hearts of the people. She just wanted to see Xinhe in the rain, but she met someone who was annoying.
Yu Tianqi stared at her back until he was completely drowned by the rain, then said softly: "This personality, is getting more stubborn."
Sulanqi turned her head and glanced at him, and then laughed, walking slowly towards him, and said with a voice that only two people could hear: "Your majesty, cover it up."
The corner of Yu Tianqi's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and said in a low voice: "I asked him for it several times, but pretended to be stupid, and actually fed her to such a skinny body, truly detestable."
A flash of astonishment appeared in Sulanqi's eyes, before he could even ask a question, Yu Tianqi had already walked forward with large strides. As the rain fell, Sulanqi's blue robe became wet. He looked in the direction Yu Yan was heading towards and with a slight sound of his long eyebrows, his lips curled up into a smile as he slowly followed Yu Tianqi and his group's footsteps.
Qiu Xuanling let the girls wipe off the dirt on her skirt, and then followed the rest of the people, looking at the front, and then turning her head to look at the direction Yu Yan had gone. She had a worried expression on her face, and asked the servant girl beside her: "Sister Yu, are you angry with me?"
The maid curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Madam, you are Madam. She has long been crippled, and Prince has ignored her for such a long time. In terms of appearance, she has such a terrifying thing on her forehead. If the Prince was so fond of her, how could he have ignored her for so long? "
"But Prince has also ignored me for a long time. Hurry up and leave. If you're late, Prince will get angry." Qiu Xuanling frowned, she held onto the servant's hand and quickly walked forward.
The maids hurriedly held up their umbrellas and ran forward to protect her.
In the Chong Huan Hall, Yulixiao was already waiting. Seeing Yu Tianqi come in, he also clasped his hands together and made a gesture of invitation, but he was still slanted on his chair, listening to the grandpa play the zither and beat the drums. However, this time, he did not sit on the seat of honor. Instead, he sat on the right side of the table.
Yu Tianqi stared at him, and then sat down. The servants immediately came forward to pour him some tea, pour him wine, and serve him courteously.
Sulanqi stood there for a while, shaking her head as she listened to the kabuki's string, then stroked her palm and said something wonderful. She then sat down and pointed to the kabuki: "King Xiao, this girl is not bad, where did you find her?"
"Oh, this is a gift from Zhao Taizhu." Yulixiao laughed and whispered.
"This old man from the Zhao Taizhu doesn't have any other skills, but she is quite skilled in collecting beauties. This won't do, I will also ask for a few from him." Sulanqi had a look of exclamation as she held onto the servant girl's slender waist. She looked up at her and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"
"Su Lan." The servant blushed, but didn't dare to struggle, only obediently staying by his side.
They were still teasing each other when Yu Tianqi put down his wine cup and said in a low voice, "All of you, step down."
As soon as the Kabuki string music stopped, everyone hurriedly left the main hall.
"The emperor is so angry?" Yulixiao swept a glance at him, took a sip of his wine, and asked lazily.
Yu Tianqi raised his eyebrows, and asked unhappily: "How long more do you want to hide in the palace, royal brother? In this half a month, Tian Mo has taken down another city! "
"Oh, let the Emperor send out more troops. He can definitely repel the evil scum, Xiao Xiao." Yulixiao was still indifferent.
Yu Tianqi's face became ugly, if Yulixiao did not return, he could still fight, but when Yulixiao did, his Armoured Cavalry soldiers would immediately return to his side, and would not let him order them to stay away. He consecutively issued four orders, but the 100,000 people at the border still did not move. Those people only thought that they were deaf and blind, and did not even look at the imperial edict.
The Tianmo Kingdom Cavalry soldiers were truly brave and ferocious, the one leading them was the Ninth Prince Tian Mo, his tactics were cunning and his character was ruthless. He said that if anyone dared to retreat, they would be killed immediately. More than half of the Yun Family's troops had been killed, but they were still unable to stop the Ninth Prince. Especially the Ninth Prince, who had said that he wanted to be on equal footing with Yulixiao. The rest of the Houqing Kingdom were all useless trash in his eyes!
"My royal brother, please give your old clan the order to mount the cavalry and meet the enemy head-on." Yu Tianqi could not help but stand up and shout.
Yulixiao looked up and said with a calm face, "Your majesty must have forgotten this. When this subject was injured, the soldier token had already been retrieved by your majesty.
Yu Tianqi was furious, he waved his hand, pointed at Yulixiao and bellowed: "Yulixiao, why are you acting like a fool, we have already said, what happened then has nothing to do with us, if you really want this throne, we will give it to you, Tian Mo will beat up the people who were left behind by our ancestors, and kill the people of our Houqing Kingdom!"
"Oh …" Yulixiao was neither pleased nor angry, and only replied with a single word.
Yu Tianqi's anger grew even stronger, and he was just about to get angry, but was stopped by Sulanqi.
"Why should we be angry? We said that we're here to drink today, let's talk nicely."
Yu Tianqi stared at Yulixiao, his face ashen. Yulixiao did not need any Soldier Symbols, they could make the Steel Cavalry only listen to him, and the King's Soldier Symbols could order all the warriors at the border, if they were to land in Yulixiao's hands, the consequences would be unthinkable. Now that Yulixiao forced him to hand over the weapon token, how could he not be angry?
What was even more hateful was that even though he was a dignified young man, he could not find a single person among all the officials of the civil and military forces who could retreat from the enemy. These few years, the Zhao Taizhu had formed a private camp, rejecting those who were different. Many of the upright officials either left out in anger or were harmed.
Yu Tianqi had been working hard for more than three years, and after great difficulty, he finally managed to nurture his own people. Seeing that he could take control of the situation, and that his Tianmo Kingdom had recovered after more than three years, he suddenly went on a rampage.
The internal and external troubles caused his head to ache so much that it felt like it was about to split. It was difficult for him to sleep at night.
"Lan Qi, you go out first. I have something to discuss with my royal brother." Yu Tianqi waved his hand and let Sulanqi go out.
Sulanqi stood up, cupped her fists to the two of them and quickly left the hall.
The torrential rain smashed against the roof of the main hall, and the entire main hall was completely silent. The two brothers, one standing, the other seated, were both silent.
"Can it be that the grudge between us cannot be compared to the difficulty of being born green?" Yu Tianqi took a deep breath, and stared at Yulixiao as he asked coldly.
Yulixiao finally put down the cup, welcomed his gaze, and asked with a deep voice, "In the heart of the emperor, is this subject really that capable?"
Yu Tianqi slowly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your royal brother withdrew from the Tian Mo Army at the age of seventeen. We willingly acknowledge our defeat, and hope that your royal brother does not put the lives of ordinary people above our grudges."
His words were sincere, and there was no hint of falseness in them.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then Yulixiao started chuckling, "If this subject's legs are good, this subject can lead a large army to the north tomorrow to repel the enemy and help the Emperor share his worries."
Yu Tianqi's face was ashen as he stared at his face.
Yulixiao threw away the wine cup in his hand and smashed the white porcelain on the table into pieces.
"The reason the Emperor did not hand over the military talismans that belonged to this official is because he feared that this official would rebel. "However, the Emperor can sit in the mountains and rivers. All he needs to do is to give me an explanation for what happened that year."
"How long are you going to play the fool? Are you sure you can't move your legs?" Yu Tianqi took a step forward and pointed at his leg.
"Try another cut, Your Majesty?" Yulixiao laughed, his voice was hoarse and his face distorted.
Yu Tianqi turned away and said in a low voice: "Since royal brother is not giving in, then we can only let you see something."
"What is it?" Yulixiao looked up at him.
"The late emperor's testamentary edict and the late emperor's secret decree for Yu Chaoge." Yu Tianqi took two items out of his sleeve and handed them over to him.
Yulixiao's eyes turned cold. He unfolded it, first reading the posthumous edict, then reading the secret edict.
The words were the words of the previous emperor, the seal was the old emperor's seal, and the content was something he had never imagined.
"Royal brother, you and I originally didn't want you to see this, but you are too stubborn and too arrogant. I know that that matter three years ago did indeed cause you to suffer, but if you vent your anger on me, it would be too unfair …"
"Yes." Yulixiao held the testamentary edict tightly, laughed, and raised his eyes to look at him, "Where does the emperor come from?"
"When Yu Zhaoge was alive, he put this in... In the Book Collection Vault. " Yu Tianqi frowned as he looked at Yulixiao's face. His face was scarred, and his eyes were cold and unfeeling, making it impossible for others to see his true expression.
"Is the emperor going to bring this back or leave it here?" Yulixiao shook the testamentary edict, and looked at Yu Tianqi and asked.
"If royal brother wants to stay, then stay. If he doesn't, then burn him." Yu Tianqi frowned and said in a low voice: "Regarding the matter of getting Yun Che's brave army to come out and fight, royal brother is still giving the order to help us. We will thank royal brother."
Yulixiao folded the testamentary edict and secret decree, laughed, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Since the emperor values it so much, this subject will write a letter and send someone to deliver it to him."
Yu Tianqi let out a long sigh of relief and quickly let his men in. He took the Four Treasures from the study room and asked Yulixiao to fix the book so that he could give it to the brave general.
After the group left, Qiu Xuanling carefully poked her head in and asked softly, "Your Highness, do you want me to sing another song?"
"Get down." Yulixiao said indifferently without raising his head.
"Then... Just then, she was looking at the lotus leaves. Originally, she came with me, but the emperor didn't know what he said to her, so she ran away. Perhaps she was scared … " Qiu Xuanling blinked her eyes and said.
Crash …
After a series of crisp sounds, the cup and plate fell on the table in front of Yulixiao, falling to the floor with a crisp sound.
