The page didn't dare to ask any further. He put down the teapot, lowered his hands, and quickly retreated.

Sulanqi finished writing and blew lightly on the ink, staring at the two words — Yu Yan!

He asked the servant woman who worked for the fisherman. The fisherman was sick all year round, and his body was extremely weak, especially when women were constantly sick, and the next month, his blood almost never stopped. That kind of body must have been through a difficult period of childbirth, protecting the adults and the children.

It seemed that Yu Zhaoge loved his wife so much that she had never continued her life, not even after the fact. As for Yu Yan, he was probably raised up in a small place with a baby girl, and kept her as if she was her son.

The people of this world became greedy and took the children of others as sacrifices. They were not surprised, and no one knew which family took the child from, since it was already taken away at such a young age. It was impossible for large families to do so. These people would only bully the commoners.

Yu Yan's fortune was also great, to think that she had lived eighteen more years, and thus the ceremony should not have been completed. Only the pitiful Yu Yan was about to turn eighteen years old.

A trace of pity gradually appeared in the depths of his eyes. She was indeed a rare and wonderful woman that appeared only once in a hundred years.

The blood in the hearts of those who love her, the flesh and blood in the hearts of those who love her, and, in fact, the tears in the hearts of those who love her …

It was easy to obtain flesh and blood, but hot tears were hard to ask. It was unknown if she had the luck to ask a man to shed tears for her.

"Your Highness, something small happened." The boy called to him softly from outside.

"What is it?" Sulanqi looked up.

"Someone from the palace said that the fishes from the King Xiao Residence ran away." the boy said quickly.

The fish ran away? Yu Yan ran away? With whom? Yun Qin? Sulanqi stood up and walked out of the study, looking at the boy and asked: "When did this happen?"

"It's just a matter of the day." The boy's hands dropped more and more respectfully.

"He ran away …" Sulanqi placed both of his hands behind his back, and smiled, "Perfect …"

"Hmm?" The young boy blinked his eyes as if he had understood something. He pursed his lips into a smile and stepped aside.

The thick dark clouds dissipated, revealing half of the bright moon. A few stars hung in the sky; the night was beautiful.

The parrot at the window flapped its wings, opened its little red mouth, and began to sing, "I'm going to make a fool of myself. I'm still tasteless with the wine, and my beauty is growing haggard …"

Sulanqi turned her head to look at the parrot. With a flick of her finger, a bright light flew towards it and struck the parrot in the mouth.

"Your Highness, the wangfei has sent word for Your Highness to return home as soon as possible." Another boy hurried in with a brocade handkerchief.

"Let Tong Lian serve This King." Sulanqi only glanced at the embroidered handkerchief once, before turning and entering the study room.

The page hurried over to call for the girl from the empress dowager, who arrived soon after. The dress was thin, and when the wind blew, it would stick to her delicate body, revealing her exquisite body. The golden hairpin hung down to her shoulder. Every step she took was full of light and swaying.

There wouldn't be much love between him and Sulanqi's woman, but this Ling Luo's gold and silver was enough to make a woman's neck bend.

Sulanqi looked at the beautiful Tong Lian, and felt that it was a bit of a pity. It was repulsive.

Tong Lian carefully looked at his expression, put down the zither in her hands, and bowed to him. She then asked gently:

"What song does Your Highness want to hear?"

"Sing …" "Just feel it." Sulanqi laughed, and then played a tune that was commonly heard in brothels.

Tong Lian's face turned red and her head fell down as she shyly said, "I don't know how to do this."

"Hmm? No? "Then learn." Sulanqi was still smiling, she slowly walked over and lightly hooked her finger on the zither once, then raised her eyebrows and gently said: "There's a kabuki called Mo Wen in the Floating Flower Pavilion, it's good at playing this kind of tune, you should learn it after me for a few days."

Tong Lian's legs went soft and she immediately knelt beside his legs. She said tearfully, "My prince, what did I do wrong to send me to that place? "I know I have sinned, I beg of you, your highness, please forgive me."

"You only went to study for a few days, what are you crying for?"

Sulanqi was slightly unhappy. Why did these people feel that she was even more noble than the people in the Floating Flower Pavilion? He often went to those places, not for the sake of having fun with women, but to listen to music that suited his heart. If it really suited his heart, then there were some brothels that were far more heroic and free than these young mistresses.

For example, she would often go to Yu Yan …

Sulanqi knew that she was being unreasonable and even helped the ladies of the brothels ask for the money to take off their brothels.

It was said that Yu Chuan had hired two bodyguards and stopped a man in the middle of the market. He waved his fan and said, "I am Yu An, the number one judge in the Western City. Lady Qingyan used to think it was love, so she didn't charge you a few taels of silver to make you happy a few times. "However, since you are unfaithful, then let's settle the score. Lady Qingyan only earns hard-earned money, and if you split your legs to match your incompetence, you will have to spend half a stick of incense each time. You can't refuse this money."

The name of the man's incompetence spread through the streets. He paid the money and left the capital in a dejected manner. No one knew where he went.

As such, she was very popular in the brothels. When the girls met her, they would offer her a drink or two.

For such a Yu Yan, if her Aromatic Soul finally turned eighteen, it would be such a pity!

Sulanqi didn't look at Tong Lian anymore. After drinking a cup of tea out of boredom, she continued to look for Forgotten Butterfly s in the books.

In the King Xiao Mansion.

Yulixiao was currently being serviced by Chen Yao as he took off her hood and wig, causing the water in the bath to be completely filled, with some medicinal ingredients amongst them. Although his wound had been completely healed, it was, after all, a wound to his bones. To him, spring was an extremely difficult time.

Now, it wasn't just his bones that were suffering, but his heart as well.

After a full day of boiling blood, he was unable to return to his blood vessels. He was so irritable that he was unable to vent the uneasiness in his heart.

Seeing his cold face, Chen Yao asked the servants to take off his clothes, personally undressing him, taking off her robes and taking off her undergarments. When she looked at his chest, her cheeks were slightly red. She softly said, "Today, I will personally serve Your Highness."

Yulixiao lowered his eyes and looked at her. He lightly pulled her hand and said lightly, "Go back and rest. This king wants some peace and quiet."

"After Prince has finished soaking in the water, I'll leave …" I want to accompany you, your highness. " Chen Yao's voice became even softer as she scooped up a bowl of medicinal soup and continued, "Drink and soak this up, then I'll massage the acupoints again to let the effects of the medicine seep in."

"I really hate these things. Take them out." Yulixiao frowned, and his tone became even more unfriendly.

Chen Yao's long eyelashes trembled, and she softly said: "Your highness is not feeling good, if you are angry, then no matter what, it is good, you cannot go against your own body. I have followed Your highness for so many years, could it be that I have not served you enough with all my effort? A Yu Yan, no matter how nice, your heart is not with your highness, but your concubine … "

"Chen Yao!"

Yulixiao interrupted her words, his eyes revealing traces of anger.

"I'm just worried about Prince, I'll soak in it for a while. If I don't drink it, I won't drink it."

Chen Yao let go of the medicine bowl. She stood with her back facing him for a while, then turned around and tiptoed as she tried her best to reach for the golden crown on his head.

Yulixiao pulled her hand, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Yao, you saved this duke before, but you never brought up any requests when this duke was in danger. This king will remember all of it, but don't keep this matter in mind.

Chen Yao's face was pale and white. She looked at him aggrieved for a while and said softly:

"Why does Your Highness have to step on my heart like this?"

Yulixiao turned around and slowly walked into the bathing pool.

"Your highness likes whoever you like. Do you think that if you get angry at me, she can come back?" Did she not like others in her heart? Your Highness's heart is in pain, but mine is even more so! In this world, no one loves His Highness more than me! No one will be like me, for the sake of your highness, you can disregard everything else. Since your highness has stepped on my heart, why not just directly stab me with your sword? "

Chen Yao's lips were trembling. After speaking quickly, she turned around and left, and the sound of the door slamming was loud and heavy, scaring all the servants in the courtyard.

Yulixiao sunk his shoulder into the water, he clenched his teeth and clenched his teeth, then suddenly punched out, heavily smashing the water surface, causing light green water to splatter around.

"Yu Yan, who can you go with? Who do you dare to go with! "When I catch you, if you can't give me an explanation, see how I'll …"

In his rage, a short arrow whizzed through the window and struck him in the face. He tilted his head back and gripped the arrow firmly in his hand.

He turned around, draped his robe over his body, and quickly walked to the window to take a look. The servants in the courtyard had already been startled by the assassin shooting the short arrow, and were shouting loudly, while the assassin's black shadow was hurriedly fleeing into the darkness …

Yulixiao lowered his eyes, the short arrow had a note on it, which said: Yu Tianqi will kill you in seven days.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for allowing the assassin to intrude."

The head guard hurried over with his men and kneeled outside the hall with a look of shame on his face.

"Get up, then go get your own ten stick."

Yulixiao stood in the hall, looking at the crowd outside the window as he said these words in a low voice. He folded the paper and held it in his hand, then placed it above the candle flame.

The last time Yu Tianqi forced him to give an order in the name of the commoners, allowing him to bring out his brave army, it meant that his brave army would be trapped by the enemy and would not be able to listen to his commands at all times.

After not seeing him for a few years, Yu Tianqi's shrewdness was even deeper than usual.

In the past, the two brothers also treated wine as a song. Under the moon, they compared their swords, but now, they could only face each other. They raised their sharp swords, ready to stab into each other's chests at any time.

What if Yu Yan was in his hands? Where was she hiding now?

With his hands clasped behind his back, he paced a few steps back and forth in the hall. He turned his head to the outside and said in a deep voice:

"Someone come, pass this king's order. This king has been injured by assassins. Search the entire city for assassins. Do not let them escape from every corner."

"Yes." "Yes sir!" the guard replied and left in a hurry.

Yulixiao returned to the side of the bed and laid down. Not long later, footsteps came from outside again, Chen Yao and Ye Mingyue had rushed over.

"Your Highness, how could there be an assassin? "Where is the injury?" After entering the hall, Chen Yao went straight to his side and sat on the side of the bed. She gently held his arm and looked him up and down with an anxious expression.

"I'm fine." Yulixiao didn't even raise his eyes as he lightly said this.

"Your Highness, don't scare us sisters." Ye Mingyue also knelt down, her hands lightly supporting his legs. Her beautiful eyes lit up with the light of tears.
