Ah Lang lowered his eyes and entered, clasping his fists at her, he asked: "What orders does young miss have?"

Yu Yan held the servant girl's hand and wrote a few words on her palm. However, the servant girl looked at her with a puzzled expression, then retracted her hand and wiped it on her clothes.

"So itchy …" Was the girl writing? I can't read! "

Yu Yan was dumbstruck.

The servant girl hesitated, then pointed at her mouth and said, "Can't you speak?"

Yu Yan quickly nodded.

The Ah Lang looked up in shock. Yu Yan hooked her fingers at him and the Ah Lang quickly walked over and gave her her palm.

Yu Yan earnestly wrote two words on his palm: Pressure Point.

Ah Lang took a deep breath, touched the back of her head and said: "So it was because of the Mute Acupoint being pressed, but every person's acupuncture point's method is different, I do not dare to easily remove it for you, afraid that he had pointed out some other acupuncture points, Miss will wait for the acupuncture point to be opened, I will go and tell the Prince."

Yu Yan pursed her lips into a smile, and wrote on the ground while pulling on his hand: "Thank you."

"Yu Yan, be careful, it might cause the death of Ah Lang." Ye Sujian's gloomy voice came from the door.

Yesterday, she did not see anything lively. She was lying on the bed, half-dead, and was not scolded at all.

Yu Yan swept her with her gaze, unwilling to pay any attention.

"Ah Lang, Madam Chen Yao wants to see you." Ye Sujian glared at her fiercely and turned to look at Ah Lang.

However, Ah Lang only glanced at her, and said in a low voice: "Since Your Highness has given the order, I have only heard Miss Yu Yan's orders."

"Alright, I told you to go and get the medicine for Lady Yu Yan, so you don't need to worry about others going? Aren't you afraid that someone might change the medicine on the way and poison her to death? " Ye Sujian curled her lips and waved the embroidered handkerchief in her hand a few times.

Ah Lang cupped his fists towards Yu Yan and quickly went out. This medicine should have been caught last night, but it has been delayed up to now. These women's hearts were very venomous, and since Ah Lang was still worried about leaving when Yu Yan was in a coma, he had yet to let her drink a bowl of medicine.

After watching him walk far away, Ye Sujian finally changed her face into a smiling one, walked over, and sized Yu Yan up from head to toe. The handkerchief was to her lips, as she softly said: "Yu Yan, do you know? Your highness called upon Lady Mingyue last night, but before that, your highness hasn't touched her yet! "

Yu Yan pursed her lips, laid down again, and turned her back to her.

"Stop pretending to be dead. You're just a servant girl now. If you don't bow to me, I won't hold it against you, but you have to get up and work."

Ye Sujian said as she reached out and pinched her arm, using all her strength.

Yu Yan felt pain from being pinched, she frowned, and forced her hand away, then sat up and glared at her. Ye Sujian was really a despicable person, he was really making use of this opportunity to not let her go!

"How dare you glare at me!" Ye Sujian's face turned long, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to pounce over again.

"Elder sister, what are you doing!" Qiu Xuanling ran over quickly and forcefully opened Ye Sujian's hand.

"Stupid girl, get out of the way. I'm going to teach this stinking woman a lesson." Ye Sujian's face twisted, wanting to continue hitting Yu Yan.

She was sick and did not have much strength left. If she did not let out her anger now, Ye Sujian felt that she would definitely regret it in the future.

"Elder sister, look at how neither of the two madams are moving, I'm here to catch you. When the time comes, the prince will be angry, and you will be the only one to suffer the consequences!" Qiu Xuanling stopped her and advised her in a small voice.

Ye Sujian hesitated for a moment and slowly retracted her hand. However, she still stared fiercely at Yu Yan.

"If I were the older sister, I would hurry up and think of a way to go visit the prince." Qiu Xuanling pulled Ye Sujian and walked out.

Ye Sujian unwillingly turned her head to look, and pointed at Yu Yan. Her expression, was as if he wanted to pounce over and eat her.

Even Yu Yan couldn't understand, why did Ye Sujian have such a huge enmity towards her, just to fight for her favor? Wasn't Yulixiao just spoiling others and ignoring her? Looking at the place she was at, Yulixiao must have misunderstood her and did not want to forgive her.

She rolled up her sleeves and took a look. Several bruises had been dug out of her arms.

Ye Sujian's mind was simple, but she was still alright. She was afraid that Chen Yao and Ye Mingyue would take advantage of the Duke and her battle qi to cause trouble. No, she had to take the initiative. She couldn't let this situation happen!

Ah Lang left for more than two hours.

The Steward Fu came over to take a look, but Yu Yan asked for a pen and paper. The Steward Fu only said that he wanted someone to send it over, and there was no further news. For these people, it was only natural that they would stand above others. It was already pretty good for him to only be able to take a glance at them. Yu Yan didn't have much hope, she could only wait for Ah Lang to return. Right now, what she was most afraid of was that the Ah Lang would also be forced away by Chen Yao, leaving no one by her side!

This worry became a reality after four hours.

The servant girl who had taken care of her had also been taken away! She was taken to an even worse room. Apart from a rotten bed, there was nothing else. The bed was filled with a strong smell of mold, making her feel nauseous.

Yu Yan's heart sank and sank, did Yulixiao not care? Did she deliberately watch others bully her?

She looked at the guards outside the courtyard. They had clearly come to watch over her and not let her leave! Yulixiao, you aren't even listening to my explanation?

Three days passed in a flash.

She was locked in a small courtyard, and no one came in. The guards also did not allow her to go out and see anyone, and her mute acupoint had never been opened.

Yulixiao raised his right eye and looked forward. Boom!

Yu Tianqi's army had already gathered. A huge black pressure was pressing down on them and waving the flag at the end of their line of sight.

This was the fourth city he was going to snatch, it was eight hours away from Chi Cheng, a critical choke point that led to the north and south. If Yu Tianqi took the Shuttle City, it would be countless of times more dangerous for Chi Cheng.

He had rushed over the day before yesterday, and this battle was rather difficult.

Looks like Yu Tianqi has indeed been working hard these past few years. He was completely different from his younger brother who always had a refined demeanor, who did not fight over it nor snatch it, and he had a whole new level of respect for him.

The topography of the city was very special. It was shaped like a spout, with two sides being mountains and one side being water. Whether it be from the front or the east, they all swore to meet a strong resistance.

"My lord, the spies in the city have spread the news, and the people are talking about it." Nie Shuangcheng spurred his horse over and whispered a few words into his ear.

Yulixiao nodded his head, and handed over the faraway tube in his hand to Nie Shuangcheng, and said: "Let the spies continue to spread the news in the city, and let Fan Yi send three thousand elite soldiers to provoke them, do not cross the river, and do not attack. Every four hours, release an arrow, if anyone attacks, do not leave a single person alive."

"Yes." Nie Shuangcheng went down to pass down the orders.

Yulixiao changed the direction he was moving in and returned to Chi Cheng.

Chen Yao was waiting for him in front. Chen Yao was an expert in the art of medicine, and was rarely seen by anyone in the world. She would come to the army camp every few days to help the military doctors heal the injured soldiers.

"Your Highness, are you going back now?" Chen Yao was only wearing plain green clothes and a simple hairstyle. She wasn't wearing any jewelry at all, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at Yue Yang with a smile.

"Are you going to stay here or come back with me?" Yulixiao asked indifferently.

"Let's go back together, we're pretty busy here, I need to go back and prepare some prescriptions, it's too hot. Many soldiers have red rash on their bodies, and the army doesn't have enough herbs." Chen Yao said as she squatted down to wash her hands in a water basin.

"Yes." Yulixiao waited for her to finish washing her hands before gently waving his whip and rushing forward.

Chen Yao looked at his departing figure in a slightly disappointed manner. She took the reins handed to her by the guard and put on her black cloak embroidered with peonies.

Although it was one in front of the other, she was the only one by his side at the moment, causing her heart to feel extremely comfortable. At Yu Yan's place, as long as Yulixiao believes in Yu Yan's betrayal, there would never be any waves in the future.

Yulixiao sped along as he returned to the yamen during the twilight period.

Throwing away the horsewhip, he could not help but turn his head towards the side yard. Was that woman still sick? These past few days, he had been heartily refusing to listen to even half a word of her news. Was she feeling any better?

Suddenly, his brows furrowed as he saw a slender figure sitting on a large tree in his direction. The figure tilted its head as it looked in his direction.

What was she doing up in the tree?

"Your Highness." Ye Mingyue ran out from inside quickly and hugged his waist, smiling as she raised his hand to wipe the dust off his face.

Yulixiao stared at the figure on the tree over there, and saw her slowly shrink back into the branches, and then disappear …

Bastard! He cursed in a low voice before pushing Ye Mingyue away and striding back into his own courtyard.

Just as he was about to slam the door shut, Ye Mingyue's voice came out from outside.

"Don't you want to see her? I heard she can't talk anymore... "He's been sick for quite a while, and can't even take medicine …"

Chen Yao had just arrived and heard Ye Mingyue's words. Her footsteps stopped outside the courtyard door, and when she saw the bright moon come out, she immediately grabbed Ye Mingyue's sleeves and looked at her in shock.

"Sister, what are you doing!"

Ye Mingyue pulled out her sleeves and inch by inch, as she looked her in the eye coldly, and said with an extremely gentle voice: "Big sister went to the army camp, I don't know, that Steward Fu took the initiative to lock Yu Yan up in the abandoned garden, his lips and teeth were cold, who knows what Steward Fu will do to me in the future?"

"What makes you think that?" Chen Yao's eyes widened even more. She had never thought that Ye Mingyue would go against her! She lowered her voice and panted as she grabbed Ye Mingyue's sleeves and asked hurriedly, "Don't tell me I'm not normally taking care of you enough?"

"When sister went up the mountain alone and went to the barracks alone, why did she do that? You can't possibly make me suffer alone, can you? Does my sister really think I'm too stupid to understand what's going on? " Ye Mingyue opened her hands and turned to leave.

Chen Yao closed her eyes, and turned to look at Yulixiao's room. Although the door was closed, it was not lit, and she was afraid that she was hesitating whether or not she should go and look at Yu Yan.

No, I can't let him go!

Chen Yao's face turned cold, she wished that she could immediately get rid of Yu Yan, but Chen Yao knew, at that moment, she absolutely could not make a move again.

Yu Yan crawled up from the tree, her butt almost splitting apart from the fall.

She rubbed her hands and waved to the servant girl outside the courtyard. The servant girl nodded and then ran to the east side where she hid in a bundle of tear-stained bamboo.

The bamboo branches stuck out from the wall, and the wind made the leaves rustle. It really was like a woman's sad whimpering.

The wall was made of green brick and was mottled in every direction. Although it was completely blocked, half of the bricks were loose and could be removed.

The servant girl that was standing outside the window was Ye Mingyue. She was the one who came to tell Yu Yan that the prince had returned.

During these three days, although Yu Yan did not eat, drink, and sleep well, she had succeeded in getting the servant girl to send him a letter — — Using the blood from her fingertips to write three sentences on the handkerchief, she successfully convinced Ye Mingyue. Not only did Ye Mingyue come to see her at night, she even became allies with her.

Although Ye Mingyue had a weird temper, she was a woman who could not tolerate her friends deceiving and betraying her, a person who was very unyielding. Yu Yan could see that her nature was not bad. Different from Chen Yao, if Yu Yan wanted to get out of this predicament, she would need someone to help her.

Even if this ally was temporary, it was better than being tortured to death for no reason!
