Yu Yan held his hand and jumped down from the horse. She smiled and said: "I understand, Teacher Xiao Bu Dian."
Everyone looked at her. Her highness was deeply in love with her, especially Yu Yan. Aside from finding it unbelievable, everyone still found it unbelievable.
"Did you deal with the corpse?" Yu Yan turned her head and looked at the two people from the Ye Family.
"It's been cremated." The two of them were startled, not knowing why Yu Yan asked him.
"All along the way here, did any of you feel that he was suspicious?" Yu Yan asked again.
The two men's faces changed. If they were suspected of something, they would be blamed.
"I'll go see Madam Mingyue." Yu Yan gave the horsewhip to the guard and turned to leave.
"Yu Yan." Yulixiao called out to her.
"Hmm?" Yu Yan turned her head and looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces. She understood that she shouldn't have shown her sharpness in front of everyone, and had interfered with his business. With a smile, she took out a silver hairpin from her bosom and waved it, "I've found Madam Mingyue's hairpin. Furthermore, she definitely isn't used to being kept by herself.
Yulixiao nodded, with a light wave of his hand, he ordered his men to bring her there.
Ye Mingyue was isolated in a small tent, crying until her eyes were red and swollen. The moment he saw her enter, she immediately turned cold and turned her back.
"Brightmoon." Yu Yan put down the teapot in his hand and called her softly.
"Yu Yan, I don't want to interact with such a malicious person like you." Ye Mingyue sneered, and said rudely.
"But think about it, if I did not come out last night, and both sides were in a deadlock, if I was not careful, someone would have taken Chen Yao's life …" Yu Yan wanted to explain, but seeing her cold expression, she decided not to. She took out the hairpin and asked softly: "Is it yours?"
"No." Ye Mingyue glanced at it, and ridiculed, "Why would I use such a cheap hairpin?"
It was just a silver hairpin, and was indeed not worth much in Ye Mingyue's eyes. Her pearl hairpins were all top-grade coral beads and jadestone agate, Yu Yan had never worn such a good thing before.
Seeing that she had said it like that, Yu Yan kept it and turned to leave. From the looks of it, she probably didn't know about the incident either.
"Yu Yan, I truly regret helping you!" Ye Mingyue suddenly stood up, and her tears once again flowed out, "Otherwise, why would the Prince be so heartless to lock me up here?"
"Mingyue, he sealed you not because of me, but because you came to a place that you shouldn't have come to."
Yu Yan turned her head around and saw her crying face. No matter how angry Ye Mingyue was, she would endure it, because she could understand Ye Mingyue's current uncomfortable state of mind. The man she liked was deeply infatuated with another woman, just like when she first saw Princess Jing Ge.
"And this." Ye Yuming quickly wiped away his tears and took out a letter from his bosom, throwing it heavily on her, "Even though you are a vile character, you will definitely do what I've promised others."
The letter hit her and bounced off the ground. Yu Yan was startled, she bent down and picked it up.
"Princess Jing Ge sent this to you, I entered the army camp to deliver this letter to you, I believe that you have allied with me, yet you dare to stab me in the back. "Yesterday, I was too angry, so I didn't give it to you. Now, take it. In the future, you and I will return to the bridge, and we will return to the road. Life and death will depend on us." Ye Mingyue clenched her teeth and turned silent.
Yu Yan immediately opened the envelope and read it hastily, her heart sinking. Yun Qin had been ordered to bring the soldiers to Chi Cheng, and since Princess Jing Ge could not persuade him, he could only go along with her, and secretly gave her the letter. He hoped that Yu Yan would think of a way to persuade her to go back.
Yu Yan thought for a moment, then understood that Yun Qin had come in anger for her. Qingmei did not forget her emotions, but her heart had already flown ahead, out of that feeling back then, and into Yulixiao's world.
She held onto the letter, looked up at Ye Mingyue, and laughed bitterly: "Mingyue, thank you."
Ye Mingyue turned her head and gritted her teeth.
Yulixiao was currently burning the rations, if Yun Qin's Yun Family troops were to surround them from the back, their situation would become very dangerous.
What Yu Yan was most afraid of was that Yu Tianqi would summon Yun Qin over and fight against him. Wasn't this like tearing her heart in half?
Walking out of the tent, she found a place to burn the letter and sat down on the limestone, lightly stroking the silver hairpin as she lost herself in thought. Should she reply to this letter? How would she reply?
A carriage was parked in front of Ye Mingyue's tent. Ye Mingyue was just being escorted onto the carriage, when the petite figure went up, she turned and looked at Yu Yan. When their gazes met, Ye Mingyue turned her head angrily and slipped in.
Yu Yan was a little depressed. Men fighting for power, women fighting for favors, she was walking the path she disdained before. She couldn't even turn back.
When the carriage was far away, she lowered her head. From time to time, soldiers would pass by, riding on their horses' hooves as they flew in the sunlight.
"Yan'er, why are you sitting here?" Yulixiao's voice came from behind.
"To bask in the sun." Yu Yan turned her head, her eyebrows arched slightly, and asked with a smile: "Why are you calling me so gentle?"
"Then what's your name?" He sat down, picked up a branch from the ground, and drew the two words Yu Yan.
Yu Yan held the silver hairpin in his hand, turned it around a few times, and lightly poked the back of his hand, "I'm asking you …"
"Mm …" He turned around, his eyelids twitching.
"Ye Mingyue, what do you want to do?" Yu Yan asked softly. Regarding the matter of Ye Mingyue sending a letter for her, she could not say. This was a big taboo, as it would add another crime to Ye Mingyue's crime.
"Entering the camp, releasing the intruders, staff 100, staff 50 for those who do not dissuade you, staff 30 for Ye Mingyue, reduced to..." Yulixiao paused for a moment. Even though he was called king, he had yet to bestow the title of a harem with no rank to descend.
"I'm not trying to do it for you. I'm just asking for her forgiveness. Stop hitting her."
Yu Yan waved her hands, staring at her with her big round eyes. Did he think that she was urging him to punish Ye Mingyue, so he would punish her a little more severely?
"Rules are rules." He frowned, his expression indifferent.
"You even took a beating for me. Why don't you also take her place …" After hesitating for a moment, Yu Yan said softly.
"Then I might as well abandon this place and become your replacement. If you commit any more crimes in the future, don't even think about me protecting you! " His face darkened, he raised the twig in his hand and tapped it against her mouth.
Her captivating red lips touched the dust on the tree branches. Yu Yan lifted her hand to wipe it, and then wiped it across her right cheek. Why don't I do it for her, I owe her a favor... Besides, she truly loves you … "Then you …"
"Yu Yan, why don't you go with the matchmaker?" Yulixiao sneered. He still hadn't settled the bill with his using him as a condition for the transaction with Ye Mingyue, yet she actually dared to raise the matter.
"That business is pretty easy to earn …" Yu Yan said softly, the breathing beside her ears immediately becoming anxious. Raising her bright eyes to meet his sharp and cold gaze, she put the silver hairpin in her hand into her hair and said, "I'll go take a rest. Your Highness, you're busy."
After standing up, he saw Nie Shuangcheng with a head full of sweat, quickly walking over, clasping his fists and bowing, and bowing with a low voice.
"King Xiao, Royal Consort."
"General Nie, please rise." Yu Yan smiled lightly and prepared to leave. She couldn't be bothered with their big matters and didn't want to talk about her being a government official.
"Just as we took a few steps, we heard Nie Shuangcheng's voice. Everyone has arrived at Liu Jingting and is waiting for the prince to pass. "
Liu Jingting was more than two hundred miles away from here. It was a small town where loquats were produced. Right now, the loquats were ripe for use. Unfortunately, the war was raging and the loquats would rot on the trees.
The setting sun shone brightly in the sky, and a few wisps of smoke were rising in spirals.
The food in the camp had been burnt down, and there wasn't enough food to be transported in. Therefore, although it was almost sunset, it was not as lively as the smoke from the smoke. There were only a few wisps of smoke floating in the air.
The sound of the horse's hooves gradually drew closer. It was the soldiers who had gone out to the mountains to gather wild vegetables, hunt wild animals, and find grain in the nearby cities. They were returning one by one.
"Yu Yan, come here." Yulixiao's voice sounded.
Yu Yan turned her head to look and saw that he was receiving the reins of the guards. The group of guards had already jumped onto their horses, but they were all wearing green robes.
"Do you want to take me with you?" Yu Yan pursed her lips and laughed, then quickly ran over.
"Can you spare me? In order to prevent you from causing any trouble in the camp, I still have to act as a beater. " He held out his hand to her, a smile on his lips.
Yu Yan placed her small hands on it, and said while smiling: "Why don't you say it, you just want to be inseparable from me, and you really want to see me at all times? The loquats there are quite tasty, I just want to try them … "
"Yu Yan, your thick skin … Like the city walls! "
Yulixiao could not help but feel intimidated by the scene in front of him. Although this was his own intention, to be placed in front of so many officials, it made him lose some of his dignity.
Nie Shuangcheng and the others pretended not to hear, they twisted their necks and got on their horses, one by one, some distracted guards actually rode their horses away, but were stopped by someone, and quickly returned, the dust on the horses' hooves flying everywhere, causing the scene to become chaotic.
"If you continue to speak nonsense, then watch your mouth." Yulixiao reprimanded her as she shook her reins and flew forward with Yu Yan.
She didn't have any extra horses for Yu Yan. In fact, she really wanted to try and taste the effects of riding on top of October, but she remembered the wild arrogance in October that made her a little scared, so she decided to let it go. Lions like Yulixiao couldn't lose their pride in October, or else the consequences would be dire.
Yu Yan leaned in front of him and chuckled softly as she covered his face with the silver mask. Half her face was like jade and half her face was like silver.
Yu Yan rode shoulder to shoulder, the world was at ease, if not for the background of the flying flames of war, Yu Yan would be happy … However, at this time, she was too preoccupied with Yun Qin's matters, and she couldn't be happy at all.
In front of Liu Jingting Pavilion, there was a Town Security waiting at the door. After letting the Steel Cavalry into the city, the city gates were immediately closed.
At this very moment, this small town was even more heavily guarded than usual.
Entering the house, Yu Yan saw Jin Cheng and An Hong immediately. One was dressed in green and one was dressed in white robes, which made the two of them especially eye-catching, oh, they were both wearing masks, which allowed Yu Yan to recognize the two of them from their mischievous gazes.
Upstairs, the few of them entered a private room, where there were still a few trusted aides that Yulixiao had kept outside all year round.
After seeing Yulixiao, everyone followed him into the room.
Seeing that they did not mention the matter of eating, Yu Yan felt that it was too embarrassed to bring it up herself. Furthermore, it was not convenient to listen to what they had to say, so she could only sit outside and watch the moon. The sound inside was very soft. If one didn't listen carefully, one would think that there was no one inside. During this time, they didn't even allow tea to be brought in.
