One side of the room was facing the stage downstairs. There was a railing blocking the way, so he covered it with a curtain. When he wanted to watch a show, he would pull the curtain open. When he didn't want to watch a show, he would close the curtain. The actor was playing the scene of his wife sending her husband out to battle.
"Wow, there's a war, there's so many people watching."
Nian An stuck out her tongue, used a handkerchief to wipe the chair, and sat Yu Yan down.
"Even war has to live. Can't we just watch the show?" Yu Yan laughed and called the waiter over for tea.
"Princess Hua-Yang is kind and kind. She can live a long life with a generous heart and a fat body." Nian An giggled, shook her head, and whispered: "However, wangfei, can I also sit and watch? I ran all day today, I'm so tired."
"Sit down." Yu Yan nodded, pulled Nian En and said gently: "You sit too, when you come out don't put on a straight face."
Nian En nodded slightly and sat down beside her.
"Tsk, look at them, they're almost drooling," Nian An's eyes swiveled, stopping on the guards who were staring at the stage, complaining unhappily, "If each one of them is not as honest as Ah Lang, then he shouldn't be allowed to go."
"Thinking of the Ah Lang?" Yu Yan teased in a small voice.
"Yes." Nian An pursed her lips in embarrassment and nodded her head. She stayed silent for a while and sighed: "However, he is a general, and I am just a girl. He never looks at me."
"Silly girl."
Yu Yan caressed Nian An's little face and laughed. She looked at Nian En in the blink of an eye, and saw her two hands holding an empty teacup, as she looked at the stage in a slight disappointment.
"Nian En, I have something to ask you. "Let me see if you puke, are you …" Nian An looked at the door, pointed at her and lowered her voice, saying, "Did you do an ugly thing?"
Nian En's face turned white, she hurriedly turned her face away, and said softly: "Don't speak nonsense."
"Guests and waiters, here are some snacks and wine."
The servant brought in a large plate and set down the tea. He then ordered a small stove and placed a jug of clear spring water beside it so that the three of them could drink from it.
"This is the newly opened pot of fifteen years old yellow rice wine, it's especially suitable for young miss to drink." The servant laughed as he tore open the seal of the wine jar. Instantly, the fragrance of the wine filled the air.
"It smells so good." Nian An stood up with a smile, picked up the wine jar and poured into the small copper pot.
Nian En frowned and took out a small embroidered box. She took out a few silver needles and tested them one by one before pouring Yu Yan a small cup of wine.
"The Empress has just been sick, don't drink too much."
"I know you feel sorry for me." Yu Yan pursed her lips and laughed, she picked up her wine cup and looked down at the stage below.
Nian En hurriedly swept a glance at her, then lowered her head, and focused on warming her wine.
"Stupid Nian En, you must have done something that let the Empress down!" Nian An stared at her and slammed her hands on the table fiercely.
"I didn't." Nian En immediately put down the wine jug and anxiously refuted.
"I saw you …"
Nian An squinted her eyes, but halfway through her words, she was stopped by Yu Yan.
"Alright, come out and relax. Don't speak nonsense."
"The Empress has always protected Nian En, so I am the most loyal." Nian An was not convinced. She twisted her waist and twisted the handkerchief in her hands to vent her anger.
Nian En's face became paler and paler. She covered her lips with her hands for a while, obviously trying to hold back from vomiting.
"Go." Yu Yan turned her head and said softly.
Nian En acted as if she was relieved of an amnesty, she quickly got up and covered her mouth as she rushed out of the room.
"What's wrong with this girl?" I'm going to see her. Don't let her tell anyone else, this bad girl! I must beat her! " Nian An panicked, stood up and followed her out.
Yu Yan did not stop her, she only held onto her wine cup and drank slowly. Half of her sleeves hung by the railings, while one of her hand was holding onto her wine bowl.
He suddenly shook his head and slowly got up while holding onto the table. Then, he slid down the table twice before he staggered out slowly.
As she descended the stairs, she suddenly touched her forehead with her hand and softly slid down.
A hand grabbed her, and the two men looked around, dragging her toward the next room.
"Hurry up, hurry up, they'll find out very soon."
As they spoke, they began to draw their swords and cut towards her throat.
Yu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, and forcefully pushed one of the people away, she sat up and stared at the two of them, and said coldly: "You two, have you two gotten tired of living? How much does your master hate the two of you to push you to your deaths? "
"You're not unconscious?"
The two of them were shocked, they looked at each other, then looked at Yu Yan in shock.
"Your medicine doesn't work. It is less effective. People like me will only be able to use it if they put down at least one jin." The corner of Yu Yan's mouth curved slightly, he stood up with a smile, dusted his sleeves, and tilted his head to look, "Look at my clothes, their material is expensive, but they were touched by your two dirty hands, I don't want it anymore. Tell me, who is your master, I'll go get clothes from her."
The two people were stunned for a moment when she said this in a tone that was neither salty nor indifferent. The three of them were silent, and the sounds of singing downstairs became even more melodious.
One of them gathered up his courage, gritted his teeth, and pounced towards him. "Cut the crap, die."
Yu Yan quickly fell back. She heard a loud noise from the window as a white lion pounced in through the window. It's sharp claws swiped forward and crashed into the wall with a loud crack.
The remaining one was scared out of his wits and was pinned to the ground by the claws. Tears and snot flowed down his face and a large puddle of urine flowed out from under his thighs.
The door opened and the guard strode in. He looked at the man with the broken neck and then at the man who had been scared out of his wits.
Yu Yan pinched her nose and stared at him in disgust.
October didn't seem to like the smell either. With a wave of her claws, the man was lifted into the air, crashed into a corner of a chair, and fell onto the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and repeatedly cried out for mercy.
"You really have no guts. Who is your master? "Why would they send a useless person like you over!"
Yu Yan turned his head, she did not see the man's bloody head, was she not dreaming? The lower part of the claw wasn't too heavy, so she should have let it pat him earlier.
"N … N … N …." "Master …" He still wanted to be stubborn.
"Then let my lion first rip open your stomach, then pull out your lungs, then your heart … When you dug it up, you were still alive... Sigh … How many hours did you struggle before you died? " Yu Yan sat down and spoke slowly.
The man looked at Yu Yan in fear, and screamed in pain.
"Speak, I promise you that you will live well." Yu Yan nodded at him.
"I... Yes... Ye Sujian... It's for us to come! " The man closed her eyes and said loudly.
Yu Yan immediately frowned, she had guessed that it was Ye Sujian, only she would use such a clumsy method! Yu Yan stood up, slowly walked towards him, and deliberately frighteningly said, "How could it be her? Forget it, since you're not telling the truth, just feed it to the lion. "
"Mistress, esteemed … "What happened …"
Nian An pulled Nian En and ran in. Upon seeing this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
When Nian En smelled the blood, she turned her head and started to vomit.
Yu Yan was actually not feeling well, who would like to see a person with blood flowing down his head? Just as she was about to ask the guard to drag him away, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the shadows and struck right between the man's eyebrows. The man immediately died.
"Who?"
Yu Yan ran over to the window, only to see a black shadow speedily running towards the distance.
"October, chase!" Yu Yan shouted.
October flew out like lightning, swiftly and fiercely running on the eaves. The broken tiles under his feet alarmed the people in the room, but no one had the chance to clearly see what it was!
"Esteemed wangfei, there's no hope for these two. Please step aside and allow this subordinate to inspect if there are any marks on them." The guard looked at the center of the person's brows and came over to ask Yu Yan to avoid it.
Yu Yan's expression was calm as she hurried out. She had originally thought that it was Ye Sujian … Only she would disregard the consequences and use such a clumsy method, but how could Ye Sujian have the ability? Now that the person was dead, there was no way to prove it!
The four women in the mansion were not easy to deal with!
When she returned to the previous room, Nian En turned her head to look at her. Her face was deathly pale, and she kept patting her chest lightly.
"Nian En, are you still not saying? Was it Ye Sujian's arrangement for you to leak the information for her? " Yu Yan frowned and asked seriously: "If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to help you? Do you really want me to help you with both of your hearts?"
"Empress …" Nian En kneeled down with all her might and pulled at the corner of her skirt, "My heart is not …"
Yu Yan bent down, pulled her hand and asked softly, "Then what are you afraid of? Do I have to say who I'm afraid of? Let me ask you, are you... Got it? Why did he vomit like that? "Who created this sin?"
Nian En laid on the ground and cried for a while. She raised her head and said while trembling: "It's the Duke …"
"What?" Yu Yan was startled, but managed to react and pulled Nian En up, her eyes wide opened: "Say that again! Nian En, do you dare to look me in the eye and say that again? "
Nian En bit her lips, and her eyes slowly filled with tears. She looked at her for a moment, and trembled as she said: "The last time you left, Your Highness was extremely furious … After forcing the questioning of Nian An and I, Nian An fainted due to fright … I... Prince … "He …"
"Nian En, do you dare to say it again … How could it be him? " Yu Yan pulled even more forcefully on her, pressing her down and sitting on the chair, staring into her eyes.
Nian En cried until she was out of breath, but she shook and shoved him, causing him to be unable to say a single word.
"Then why is Ye Sujian looking for you?" Yu Yan asked her again.
"She found out I had a baby. I was going to take two pills in secret and get rid of him. When I was trying to catch the medicine, I was run into by Ye Sujian. I couldn't pass through, so she used this matter to threaten me, and from time to time, she would grab me and go over, and interrogate Jian Fu, saying that hitting me and humiliating me was equivalent to humiliating the Empress … But what happened tonight, was definitely not Ye Sujian, she had people following us, wanting to take your mistake and report it to the Duke … "
"You …"
Yu Yan's mind was in a mess, her ears were filled with these sharp sounds. She tried her best to calm herself down, to try to stay calm, but how could she possibly suspect Nian En? Nian En was clearly the person she trusted the most … If it was someone that she could talk to, Nian En would have told her already. Only someone that she didn't dare talk to would cause her to be this afraid … Only Yulixiao made her so afraid!
She took a few steps back and fell into the chair.
Many rich families brought their own girl to marry off their wives. They were even very willing to give their girls to their husbands to win their hearts and not let him go to the rooms of other wives.
But Yu Yan couldn't do it, she had an extremely strong feelings for husband and wife, she couldn't tolerate Yulixiao doing this to her own girl. She took a deep breath and supported herself up using the armrest of the chair, staring straight at Nian En, she spoke word by word:
"Nian En, let me ask you again, is what you said true? If you lie to me, I will sever all ties with you and will not show you any mercy. "
"Empress, Master …" Nian En has let you down, and let Nian En die … " Nian En bent over and kept on kowtowing to her.
"Tell me if it's true or false!" Is that true or false! "
Yu Yan strode forward, grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously.
"Truly …"
Nian En squeezed out one word from her throat, like a cat on the verge of death, gasping for air as she bent down to Yu Yan's feet, her body trembling uncontrollably.
