Qiu Xuanling fell to the ground and looked at Ye Sujian in shock. Her face slowly turned red, and after sitting for a while, she crawled up and left.
"Where are you going?" Ye Sujian asked from the direction of her back.
"Let's go back." Qiu Xuanling stomped her feet and walked away even faster.
"Damned girl, you're still angry at me?" Ye Sujian held onto a chess piece, tightly frowned, and muttered to herself, "I never thought that the two of us grew up together, and you actually say that woman is good!"
Ye Mingyue was starting to get impatient. She hated being so noisy by nature, and if she wasn't really bored today, she wouldn't have sat together with the two of them playing such a crappy chess piece.
She stood up and left without a word.
"Madam Mingyue also left …" Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. "
Ye Sujian threw the chess piece on the chess board, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. She turned her head and looked at the courtyard Yu Yan was staying in, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowing, revealing a trace of hatred. After rolling for a bit, she brought the two girls over to Yu Yan's courtyard.
How could Nian En have a letter from his family? Initially, she had wanted to bribe them and keep them for herself. However, when she later found out that these two girls were too loyal, she couldn't shake them at all.
These two girls were sold as slaves at the age of six or seven. Their families had all died in the wilderness. How could they still have letters from their families? The three of them hid in the forest outside the small courtyard. From afar, they watched as Ah Lang sat on a bamboo chair and polished his arrows, not daring to get any closer.
"Madam, what are we looking at?" Little Dan'Er whispered to her.
"How could Nian En have a letter? She must see what this vixen is up to and pull out her tail." Ye Sujian clenched the handkerchief tightly and gritted her teeth as she said bitterly.
When Yu Yan entered the small courtyard, she immediately opened and read the letter. The letter was actually given to her by Princess Jing Ge.
Didn't Jing Ge return to Miluo City? Why did she quietly return to the capital? Could it be that something had happened to Yun Qin?
Yu Yan memorized the time and place, and hid the letter in a hidden place, not destroying it immediately. Even if it was a trap, there would be one more piece of evidence in the future.
Do you want to see Jing Ge? She sat in her chair and thought it over. Finally she decided to go.
She was afraid that something would happen to Yun Qin, that there would be a border war, and that Yun Qin's arm would be destroyed. But if this was the case, there was no need for Princess Jing Ge to ask her out in private … Could it be that something had happened to Yun Qin?
Seemingly everyone's heart, would quietly hide a figure that they couldn't erase, and the person that Yu Yan couldn't erase was precisely Yun Qin.
These feelings were very complicated. Having grown up together since childhood, those feelings of habit, longing, dependence, and integration into one's bones and blood could not be wiped away. They could be reunited with one another, but they would never be forgotten. Yu Yan hoped more than anyone that Yun Qin could lead a good life. If Yun Qin was in trouble, she would definitely help.
Yulixiao did not restrict her freedom, he had also said before that she would go and seek justice, he would do whatever he wanted, as long as she did not run away or betray him, he would do whatever he wanted, so he could leave the palace anytime.
She just wanted to meet Princess Jing Ge and be on her way back.
She hurriedly changed into the man's clothes, saying that she was bored, and went to see if there were any scrolls of paper to be connected, so Nian En could keep it, and only bring Nian An and Ah Lang out. Ah Lang's martial arts were strong, so she had to bring him along. She still had this little bit of vigilance Yu Yan had, she would not silently jump into the trap.
After leaving the palace, she didn't go straight to the teahouse she had agreed upon. Instead, she took a detour around the street for a while, randomly choosing a few acupuncture points and then went to the Peace Restaurant to chat with the owner. Yu Yan told her that he had gone for a tour, and asked him about some matters regarding the streets. After sitting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she finally brought the two of them out of the restaurant, and slowly walked towards the promised teahouse.
Two tea flowers bloomed in front of the teahouse. A flower the size of a small teacup was tender and alluring.
Yu Yan slowly walked into the teahouse. The waiter immediately welcomed them warmly, looked at the three of them and laughed: "Esteemed guest, do you want to sit in the hall or the private room?"
"A private room." Yu Yan looked around the teahouse. Business was not good today, so there were not many people.
The waiter hurriedly and solicitously led the three up the stairs. He opened a door, pointed inside and smiled. "This is the best place to view the scenery."
"What scenery is there to see?" Nian An walked in with large strides, and first ran to the window to take a look. Then, she turned her head with a smile as she waved towards Yu Yan, "Mother … Young master, come quickly … "She really is beautiful."
Fortunately, he sounded like Young Master Liang. The waiter didn't suspect anything and happily asked for tea and refreshments before closing the door.
Yu Yan walked over to the window and looked at the long moat embankment. From afar, she could see many kites floating in the blue sky.
March was a good time to tread on spring.
There were also women that came out as men! However, most of them were dressed shyly and were allowed to come out casually every year. They would take a stroll in the spring, have a hearty meal, and run into a good marriage.
When Yu Yan thought about the scene at the Moon Island with Yulixiao that night, the corner of her mouth unconsciously raised into a smile. Although Yulixiao had not come to her room for the past two days, she had secretly let Nian An know.
"Esteemed Empress's smile is really beautiful …" Nian An turned his head to look at her and praised sincerely.
Before Yu Yan could be happy, Nian An looked at her forehead and frowned: "If you don't have this birthmark, then it will be even better. Why don't you let Your Highness call a good doctor with great medical skills to dig out this birthmark?"
"I'll dig you up too." Yu Yan glared at her and said angrily.
A birthmark, always mentioning this!
She covered the corner of her forehead and sat down on the edge of the table, staring at Nian An in frustration.
Nian An forced a smile and said carefully: "Even if there is a birthmark, it is still the most beautiful, extremely beautiful. Furthermore, Prince likes the Empress alone, don't you think so, Ah Lang?"
Ah Lang turned to look at the two of them, still looking out of the window.
"Idiot, fool, no wonder you couldn't get a wife!" Nian An made a face at Ah Lang.
"You haven't married either." Yu Yan immediately taunted.
Nian An's face fell as she looked at Yu Yan pitifully and said, "Empress, don't chase me away. I don't want to get married.
Indeed, to stay with her, Zhang Xuan did not need to care about the etiquette. He could eat well and dress well every day, and he could speak whatever he wanted to.
Yu Yan stood up and pinched her face, spitefully saying: "I'll sell you first, I'm even more straightforward. Since you're so fat, you can definitely sell me for a lot of silver."
Nian An was not afraid, and began to giggle. She let her pinch her face, and then went behind her back to massage his shoulders, and said in a clear voice: "The Empress must work harder, and give birth to a young duke, give birth to a young princess, the Prince rewarded the Empress with a lot of gold and silver, and let Nian An enjoy the bliss with her."
"You really know how to enjoy life!" Yu Yan scolded her snappily.
Nian An giggled again as she helped her sit down.
The conversation between the master and servant made Ah Lang unable to take it anymore. Furthermore, he had already observed everything around him, so there was no danger.
"Idiots!" Nian An made a face at the Ah Lang.
Be careful that he likes Nian En, or that he doesn't like you. "" No. Yu Yan threatened Nian An.
"Will it?" Nian An immediately became nervous. She took out the small bronze mirror to look at it, and then said softly, "Empress, tell me, which one is prettier between us?"
"I'm even more beautiful." Yu Yan glanced at her.
At this time, the door opened, and a waiter came in carrying tea and refreshments, which he placed on the table to introduce to Yu Yan the benefits of the tea and refreshments.
"Understood. If the items are good, you will be rewarded. You can go now." Nian An put on airs, looking full of might as she let the waiter out.
The waiter happily went out. Nian An immediately poured a bowl of tea for Yu Yan, and the fragrance of the tea filled up the entire room.
Yu Yan thought that this tea was good, so she picked it up and took a whiff, thinking to herself, how to let the Ah Lang go, and let the princess appear? But if it wasn't a princess, wouldn't it be dangerous if the Ah Lang left? Just as she was thinking of a plan for both of them, she suddenly felt dizzy and her vision blurred.
She thought to herself, it's not good, just as she was about to get up, Nian An had already fallen down, smashing the chair with a thud. Ah Lang immediately opened the door and entered, only to see Yu Yan standing there with the tea bowl in her hand, while Nian An had already poured it all down.
At this moment, a voice came from the side, "Little Qing Yu, come quickly. I've already dealt with it. I'll take you with me."
Yu Yan's vision became blurry, and she could vaguely see the Ah Lang on the ground. The person who slowly walked in was tall and big, but his face could not be clearly seen no matter how hard he tried.
That person arrived in front of her and firmly embraced her with both arms. He embraced her and allowed her to lean on him as he led her outside.
Stepping over Ah Lang's body, Ah Lang forced his eyes open and closed.
The windows were wide open, and the aroma of tea was thick.
Yu Yan was being embraced by the man. She got onto a horse carriage and headed out of the city.
On the other side of the street, Ye Sujian's Dan'er quickly walked out with her hands over her lips. She watched in shock as the carriage went further and further up the stairs, and then she looked around the rooms, and discovered the fallen Ah Lang and Nian An.
Yu Yan had already fainted, her breathing was light and hurried, as she leaned weakly into the man's embrace. In his embrace was a familiar smell, but it was a pity that she could no longer open her eyes, and was unable to think. The light completely disappeared from her world, and entered into the darkness.
The man who was embracing her lowered his eyes and gently caressed her face with his long fingers. A hint of happiness appeared on his brows as he lightly patted her shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Little Cyan Fish, you're mine now."
In the middle of the carriage, Yu Tianqi's lips slowly rose as the curtain of the carriage's window was slightly raised, illuminating his face.
To coax her to come out alone, it was absolutely impossible to do so with Yun Qin's help. She could only do it in the name of Jing Ge, who seemed to have a shallow debt to him but was actually extremely loyal to him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten so sick just for Yun Qin.
If it wasn't for the empress dowager stopping him, he would have long brought Yu Yan into the palace. Now that Yulixiao had occupied this place for so many days, it was truly hateful.
From the position of emperor to a woman, Yulixiao fought over everything with him, suppressing him with everything he had and piling everything up in his heart. Once Yulixiao came back, he forcefully restrained Yu Yan. Now that he heard that Yulixiao had overestimated himself with everything, he really wanted to see just how high Yulixiao had overestimated himself and how far he had actually gone!
He lifted the curtain with his long fingers and quickly retreated. The continuous mountain range gradually approached. He alighted from the carriage by the side of the road, and since the guard was already waiting for him, he rode his horse back to the palace. Then, he got the guard to escort Yu Yan to the place where they hid her.
Yulixiao and Chen Yao sat at the small table behind them. On the table, there were fine wine and delicious dishes.
The empress dowager sat on the phoenix chair with a smile. She wore a set of pigmented teeth clothing, and her hands were wrapped around Buddhist beads. In front of her was also a vegan wine and vegetable dish.
