Yu Yan stirred, and then she suddenly sat up, looking at the curtain embroidered with the green lotus beads in front of him, she was a little confused. Wiping away the cold sweat on her face, she uncovered the quilt. When she saw it, she could not help but tremble in fear!

A small piece of silk was placed beside the pillow, on which dried blood and turbid fluid had congealed into a dark peony flower. A brocade handkerchief was tied around her right ankle, and when she unfolded it, it was a picture. Looking carefully at the woman's clothes, if it wasn't her face, who else could it be?

A thick fragrance assaulted his nostrils. Only when he looked at the screen embroidered with the Palace of Spring did he realize that this was definitely Gou Lan Yuan's residence!

She hurriedly put on her clothes and went downstairs. Fortunately, no one met her. It was a good time for the girls to rest after a long night of hard work so early in the morning.

Nian En was anxiously waiting for sher at the back door. When he saw her return, he immediately went forward to welcome her.

"Why haven't you come back tonight?" Your servant is dying of anxiety, what's going on with your neck? " As she spoke, she lifted her hand to touch the bruise on her neck.

"Don't touch me." Yu Yan reprimanded her softly.

Nian En rarely saw her angry so she quickly retracted his hand.

Just as she reached the courtyard, she saw Nian An running towards her from the front door like a little magpie.

"Princess, the good news is that General Yun is back!" Everyone is waiting to see the General's heroic appearance at the city gate. "

Yu Yan's heartbeat suddenly sped up, and she fiercely turned her head to look in the direction of the Duke's Palace's main entrance.

After she married into the Duke Palace, Yun Qin hurried back after seven days and seven nights to see her. That night, it was also raining heavily. She sat blankly in his room with the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand. The ink had become extremely blurry due to his tears. Yun Qin bellowed from the outside, but was stopped by the guards and kicked out of the city. He could not go out to see Yun Qin. His father had committed the crime of deceiving the monarch, and she was lucky to be alive. How could he dare to drag Yun Qin into this?

They couldn't see him back then, but now, why would they dare to see him?

She slowly turned around and entered the room, walking straight in front of the bronze mirror.

Her skin was white and jade-like. Her long eyebrows were slightly bent. Her almond eyes were filled with tears. Her gentle lips were like the petals of a peony, lightly trembling. This person was clearly as beautiful as the spring sun. Unfortunately, there was a fingernail-sized dark colored butterfly birthmark on her forehead. This birthmark allowed others to see her as an ugly and despicable woman. Only Yun Qin had held her face and said: "Little Cyan Fish, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!

Small Blue Fish... Would anyone ever call her that?

"Empress, please change into a fresh set of clothes." Nian An obviously did not see through her mood and happily went to open the wardrobe. Then, she dressed in a goose yellow long skirt and appeared in front of Yu Yan.

"General Yun hasn't come back in three years. He might still be thinking about Princess Hua-Yang."

Yu Yan frowned, pushed away her dress and softly said: "Nian En, put away my brush and paper, we will go out and hide. "Order it, if anyone asks, just say that we will go to the temple to cultivate yesterday, in any case, I still have to go to the hall tomorrow."

She was long past the age of sentimentality. She had not yet achieved her goal, so she had to persevere. He took off his clothes, changed into a man's attire, and directly sneaked out the back door with Nian En.

If she stayed at home, the palace would definitely order her to enter the palace for the banquet. The empress dowager didn't like taking care of an illness, so it would be better to hide far away.

The streets were crowded, the master and servant trio arrived at the side of the road, from afar, they saw Yun Qin with his big head and horses, looking extremely heroic. She couldn't help but stop and blankly stare at the familiar yet unfamiliar face pet.

Yun Qin's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on the direction where she was standing. She quickly lowered her head and reached out his hand to touch the perfume bag that was being sold at the roadside stall.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise. She turned around and saw a man in yellow silk clothing riding over!

Yun Qin retreated back and became a strong enemy. With a great merit, Emperor Yu Tianqi came out to welcome him!

The soldiers and officials were shocked, and quickly tried to fend off the civilians on both sides. They ordered everyone to kneel down and not raise their heads.

Nian En and Nian An were all pushed to their sides. Yu Yan knelt in the crowd and lowered her head as much as possible. She had only seen Yu Tianqi four times and had only spoken to his once. She didn't know if the other party remembered her as his sister-in-law or not. However, if he could avoid trouble, he would try his best to avoid it.

"Yun Qin, we haven't seen each other for a few years.

Yu Tianqi's gentle laughter came from the horse's back and actually stopped right beside her. The horse raised its front hooves and nearly kicked her on the head.

She moved, suddenly startled. She saw the wolf pen her father had left her at the foot of the horse! She usually carried it in a brocade bag, tied to her belt, ready to use it, just as her father had instructed her.

But now, the pen was in the mud, under the hooves of the horses!

His father had a clean and honest life, and he would only be willing to spend some money to buy pen and ink. It was these things that ended his father's life. He spent two years' worth of savings to buy a piece of scintilla, but it was not his father who asked for it. There were also people who falsely accused his father of using his power to profit by his own, and the seller of the scintillating stone directly accused his father of taking it.

On the day of the search, she knelt in the rain, clutching the pen her father had left her, crying her heart out. Fortunately, Yu Shi Shi Shi once made a promise to the late emperor that if he committed a great sin, it wouldn't harm his family, so he left her at the age of fourteen.

Seeing that her horse's hooves were about to step on the brush, she steeled her heart and bent down to pick up the brush.

"How dare you!"

"How dare you!"

Two whips landed on her back at almost the same time, causing her to almost faint from the pain. She was knocked to the ground, but she still held on to the pen stubbornly.

When he looked up, he saw that Yun Qin's face was filled with shock, and Jun Tianqi's was filled with suspicion.

"This commoner deserves to die."

She grabbed her pen and quickly retreated behind the soldiers.

"Look up." Yu Tianqi bent down and used a horse whip to raise her chin, his long eyebrows slightly knitted, and lightly nodded, "So it's you."

Yu Yan bent her head down again, her heart pounding.

Yun Qin stared at her with a complicated look on his face.

Yu Tianqi glanced at Yun Qin, and smiled, "Alright, I won't bring you back today, let's go to a quiet place."

He shook the reins, and suddenly bent down and grabbed Yu Yan's shoulders, and carried her onto the horse, pulling her up with one arm.

Yun Qin followed closely behind, the soldiers sealed off the road at the back, and watched the two of them run out of the city gate, then allowed the citizens to pass.

"Who is she trying to hide from?" Yu Tianqi embraced Yu Yan's waist and asked gently.

"If you reply to the emperor, then you're bored. Come out and take a walk." Yu Yan braced herself and increased the distance between them.

"Sister Huang, you have worked hard for three years. I should set up a memorial archway for you." Yu Tianqi said again.

"Your majesty doesn't need to put in the effort. This is my duty." Yu Yan could only say.

"This part …" Yu Tianqi's fingers pinched her waist, and laughed: "Sister-in-law's waist, is very soft."
