The patrolling guards all turned their heads, stealthily looking at Yulixiao who was standing alone under the moonlight, laughing. Their faces were filled with disbelief, was this their king who did not smile at all?
Yu Yan had nowhere to sleep, she was not willing to go Yulixiao's tent, and also did not go to Chen Yao's place. After thinking for a bit, Ah Lang built a small tent that he would often set up for her, allowing her to sleep there for the night.
When she woke up, there were sounds of galloping horses all around her. She came out and saw that the army was already gathering.
Yulixiao mounted the horse with a blade on his shoulder, his movements was nimble and relaxed, the silver light armour on his body made him look even more mighty. Just as she was about to step forward, he saw Chen Yao holding Sai Mi's hand and running over quickly, to in front of him, and putting a sachet in his hand, quietly saying a few words, Yulixiao nodded his head and raised his arm.
The generals surrounding him immediately dispersed, each leading their men to rush out of the camp.
Seeing that he was about to go out, Yu Yan could not help but run out and shout at him: "Take care."
Surprised, he turned his head and saw her with her long hair hanging down. He smiled, nodded to her, and spurred his horse forward.
Yu Yan's hands hung down. Although they had been bickering everyday and she liked to get angry, once he left, her heart was suddenly empty and she could not help but worry for his safety. The river was dangerous, and the city was difficult to break through. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to personally go up to fight.
Chen Yao coughed for a long time as she covered her lips. She turned her head to look deeply at her, then held Sai Mi's hand and walked away.
Yu Yan didn't know if Yulixiao was with her last night … If … She felt as if a little insect had drilled into her veins. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to ruthlessly scratch it a few times.
He went to the well to wash his face, pulled up his hair and packed himself up. Chen Yao and Sai Mi had already started to boil ginger soup for the guards. It was cold at night, and many of the guards had caught a chill.
Yu Yan wanted to help but she was afraid that he would interfere with her business so she went to find a little mule.
When the little mule saw her coming from afar, he was actually frightened to the point of trembling. He hugged the big basket tightly, as if his feet were covered in oil, and ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Yu Yan was stunned and looked left and right. Everyone looked at her carefully, not daring to get close.
"Empress …" Your birthmark … " When the Ah Lang arrived and saw the birthmark on her forehead, he was stunned.
Yu Yan quickly raised her hand to cover herself as she threw away the small mirror. She could only return to the well and look, the water in the bucket had calmed down, she looked down and saw the fingernail-sized red mark already spreading towards the center.
"How could this be?" She covered her forehead, her heart pounding.
"Did you get bitten by bugs in the forest last night?" Ah Lang warned her in a low voice.
Yu Yan thought deeply for a moment, then shook her head, she did not remember, and even if she had bitten into it, she would not have realized that situation.
"Why don't we let Madam Chen Yao come over to take a look?" The Ah Lang hesitated before saying.
Yu Yan's head was in an even more anxious state, but after she was done, she thought that after Yulixiao saw the birthmark, he would definitely let her see it. After all, in terms of medical skills, there were not many people who could compare to the people in the Valley of the Gods.
He sat in his tent for a while, trying various methods to wipe the red marks on his forehead, but other than the burning sensation, he didn't feel anything else. Instead, he started to feel drowsy.
She was getting more and more worried that the birthmark wasn't natural, but a disease … Of course it wasn't poison. She had this on her forehead whenever she had memories. Who would be so full of food to poison her? But if it was an illness? Could it be a poison sore or something?
After sitting for a while, unable to hold on any longer, he lied down on the table and fell asleep again.
Someone came in groggily, as if pushing her, and she forced her eyes open and closed again. A hand fell on her forehead and caressed it for a moment. It was very cold, as if ice had fallen on her forehead, making her feel much more comfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, a sharp voice could be heard from the side of the tent.
"Where is she?"
"Madam Mingyue, the wangfei is resting inside." Ah Lang's voice.
"Princess?" Ye Mingyue's voice suddenly became stunned.
Yu Yan rubbed her sore eyes and sat up, looking at the lifted tent curtain, only to see Ye Mingyue wearing a cape, walking in, and seeing her sitting by the side of the table, her face sank.
"The wangfei is so lucky."
"Madam Mingyue." Yu Yan took a light breath and nodded.
"Now that the princess has achieved her goal, does she have to fulfill her promise?" Ye Mingyue stared at her and asked angrily.
Yu Yan pursed her lips. Ye Mingyue was not Chen Yao, Chen Yao would pretend, but Ye Mingyue had a strong temper. If she could not handle it well, then they would both die together.
Why did she come to the camp?
"Your highness is going to war. Please sit down, Madam Mingyue." Yu Yan smiled, turned her head, and said crisply: "Hurry and serve tea to Madam Mingyue."
Her order startled Ye Mingyue for a moment. Although Yu Yan was gentle, this gesture had already revealed the character of the wangfei, and it actually made Ye Juanyue not dare to offend her easily. She hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "Elder sister, you have returned to the position of wangfei, why is it that no one informed of us? so that we can prepare a wedding gift. "
"Who knows what the Prince is thinking? Madam Mingyue, you must be tired from the journey. Yu Yan looked up and smiled faintly.
No matter how angry Ye Mingyue was, she knew that there was a difference in status. Yu Yan was a princess and she was only a side wife. Yu Yan invited her again, and only then did she slowly sit down, her hand holding onto the embroidered handkerchief as she rubbed it vigorously, her head lowered. She did not know what she was thinking, but after the Ah Lang personally served her tea, she raised her eyes and looked at Yu Yan, and said softly:
"Esteemed wangfei, I hope you won't forget what I've been thinking …" The moon does not ask for much, and to be able to serve her two or three times a month is already very satisfying.
Yu Yan was also sipping her tea when she heard this. The boiling tea water on her tongue burned once, causing her pretty eyebrows to slightly twitch.
Ye Mingyue was staring at her and seeing her raise her head, her brows slightly furrowed. Her temper rose again, "Princess, are you trying to destroy the bridge after crossing the river? "Esteemed wangfei, don't forget that you promised me."
Yu Yan raised her hand, and caressed her lips for a moment, then said softly: "You know who the Prince is, even if you want to be passionate, you have to let him be happy, do you think I can push him onto you?"
"You …"
Ye Mingyue bit the tip of her tongue, talking about talking about words and skills, she could not speak about Yu Yan, but she was unwilling to endure it any further, suddenly getting up, just as she was about to go berserk, Yu Yan also suddenly stood up, not even looking at her, and slowly walked out.
Once she was outside the tent, Yu Yan looked up at the dark blue sky and said softly, "To become a man's heart, one must first understand this man. Do you understand him?"
Ye Mingyue was startled, did she understand him? He rarely even spoke to her. How many years have we known each other? Six years? Seven years? After all, she had been by his side for so long, and she knew what side dishes he liked to eat, what books she liked to read, what songs she liked to listen to, and what flowers she liked to reward …
Yu Yan turned her head to look at her and saw the confusion on her face. She did not ask anymore and only asked softly: "If he likes anything and wants something, no one can stop him and no one can change him. Mingyue, I can only promise you to create opportunities. I only have this ability, whether it succeeds or not. 'In the sky, in the earth, in him, in you, in fate … "It's not me."
"Wangfei can talk big, but I can't win against her," Ye Mingyue laughed coldly. She sat back on the bench and held the teacup tightly with both hands as she said crisply: "If Wangfei doesn't keep her word, I won't let her off either."
Yu Yan turned his head and slowly said: "Then, do you want to fight with me? Do you want to tear off your hair, scratch your face, bite off a few more bites, and roll around like a shrew in a city to completely remove yourself from the sight of the Prince? "
"You …" Ye Mingyue choked again, lifting up the teacup and putting it back down heavily, but was unable to do it. After panting for a while, she quickly got up, hit her with her shoulder and left in big strides.
"Brightmoon." Yu Yan called her.
Ye Mingyue turned her head, her face filled with anger. "Does the wangfei still have more orders?"
Yu Yan smiled at her and said seriously: "Mingyue, I never harm anyone, I will definitely do what I promise. I swear on my father's name."
Ye Mingyue revealed a strange expression, she frowned, and turned to walk forward.
In the distance, he saw a few men in green waiting for her. When they saw her pass by, they surrounded her and walked towards the infirmary.
"Madam Mingyue brought the Ye Family over." Ah Lang walked over and stared at them as he whispered.
"Aren't they taking care of the matter of the food for the prince?" The rations have arrived? " Yu Yan casually asked.
"I don't know about that, but these matters have always been handled by Madam Chen Yao." The Ah Lang said in a low voice.
"Prince trusts her so much …" Yu Yan's heart felt a little sour again.
"Heh, don't worry about her. It's better not to cause too much trouble. The prince would rather have her in his heart." Ah Lang stuttered as he hesitated.
"Ah …" Ah Lang! " Yu Yan pursed her lips and laughed. She turned around, looked Ah Lang up and down, and said seriously: "I really didn't know that Ah Lang had such meticulous thoughts."
The Ah Lang smiled embarrassedly, then said softly, "Actually, it was Miss Nian An who taught me to say that. Nian An wrote all that I had to say on a piece of paper, letting me see it from time to time.
"This girl …" Yu Yan's heart warmed, her longing for Nian En could not be resisted anymore, she wished to see them right away.
At this moment, a thin man in the group turned his head and glanced at her.
Although they were separated by a long distance, Yu Yan still felt uncomfortable by his gaze. She frowned slightly, turned her head and asked the Ah Lang: "Is the red mark on my forehead better?"
Ah Lang took a glance and grinned, "Perhaps it really was bitten by mosquitoes last night, there's no more."
Yu Yan was very surprised, she lifted her skirt and ran towards the small well, held up the half ladle of water and shined for a long time, and indeed, she discovered that the birthmark had returned to the size of a fingernail. When her fingers touched it, she felt a little hot.
However, she had clearly felt dizzy and her head was swelling, making her feel extremely uncomfortable … She touched her birthmark and whispered, "When I was resting earlier, was there anyone else who had entered the tent?"
"Nope." Ah Lang shook his head, hesitated a bit, then said: "But I went to watch them practice fist arts for a while. Princess, please forgive me... Did the princess feel unwell? "Why don't you hurry and get an imperial physician?"
"I'm fine." Yu Yan shook her head, she simply drank a few mouthfuls of water and rubbed her mouth, then said softly: "It's pretty sweet, it should be good for brewing wine."
"Princess knows how to brew wine." Ah Lang laughed and asked.
"I'm from a small clan. Except for Lil 'Red, I know a little about everything. Brewing wine, forging iron, playing cards …" As Yu Yan said this, she smiled first. Why are all these things that men are interested in?
Ah Lang's face was also filled with astonishment, he stammered as he did not know what to say.
