C40

Chen Yao looked at him ruefully, and said softly, "Can't I listen?"

Yulixiao stared at her, she did not dare say more, and got the guard to stop the carriage and get off.

There were only two people left in the carriage, Yu Yan turned to look at him and asked softly: "What does Your Highness want to ask? I really don't know him and I don't know who pushed me. "

"Come here." His eyes flashed.

Yu Yan slowly walked over, then patted on the ground beside her again. She could only continue moving, until she was beside him and sat down.

Yulixiao took the hairpin from her hand, looked at it for a while, then raised it to her eyes and lightly patted her face, then slowly said: "I still have the bracelet that I owe you, what do you want?"

"The Prince wants me to go to that stall and redeem my bracelet." Yu Yan's eyes lit up, and immediately begged him.

"Just a silver one." he said carelessly, pushing a strand of wet hair off her forehead with his hairpin.

"I like it." She sighed lightly and turned her face away, avoiding the cold feeling of the hairpin.

"I don't like it." He said lightly.

"But, it's me who is wearing it." Yu Yan panicked.

"This King wants to see. Whatever you're wearing and what you're wearing are all for This King to see." His deep eyes were fixed on her face, and the hairpin lifted her chin slightly.

Controlling his own mouth — — Yu Yan ruthlessly pinched his own mouth shut in her heart, gave a shallow smile, and turned her head away.

Yulixiao moved his fingers from her wet hair to look at her hair. Yu Yan realised that he liked to play with her hair and his fingers circled around her hair for a long time before throwing it towards her chest.

She lifted a hand to cover the top of her head and turned to look at him. With a wave of his hand, an ice-cold thing was thrown onto her leg. She looked up and saw that it was her bracelet!

"Bracelet!" She picked it up in surprise and turned to look at him.

He had actually quietly and quickly redeemed her!

The light in Yulixiao's eyes dimmed as he silently looked at her.

Yu Yan felt a little embarrassed looking at him, she put the bracelet on her hand and said softly: "Thank you, Prince."

"I don't owe anyone anything." He spoke lightly and closed his eyes to rest.

However, Yu Yan owed him a few favors, so she was a little depressed. She raised her wrist and looked at the bracelet. It would be nice, she thought, to be like the orchids, to have the fragrance of the lost world, to be open to the elements in a quiet valley.

"You've really never seen King Chi before?" He spoke suddenly, and asked the man again, to show that he didn't believe her in some way.

Yu Yan turned her head to look at him. Every word that Lady Chen Yao said before was directed at her, it sounded like she was concerned about her, but in reality, there was killing intent hidden, provoking Yulixiao's anger towards her.

However, she couldn't tell whether Yulixiao was angry or not. His eyes, on the other hand, betrayed very little of his emotions, and with this extremely ugly hood on, no one wanted to look at him any longer. Why would they want to stare at him and guess his feelings?

"I've really never seen him before, but today I heard that he was a man of character in the palace. Today, I saw him with a generous hand and gave Rong Xin and Tong Lian priceless jewel flowers. Chen Yao, Mingyue and the others have seen it too, and everyone says that they are even more generous than Your Highness. " She pulled down her sleeve and covered the bracelet as she spoke softly.

Her words were very fitting, not only did she explain how King Qi was so passionate about women, but she also pushed all of Chen Yao's accusations to the point that she even surrounded Chen Yao, just like a woman who loved to complain. Oh, she did not specify which prince this was from, nor did she mention which prince was this prince …

If she wanted to swear at someone, she could do so with a single curse. She would be able to ask eight generations of their ancestors and eight generations of their descendants before she could ask them, causing you to die from anger.

"Do you want a pearl flower?" Yulixiao looked at her tame, cat-like look, squinted eyes and asked in a low voice.

"May I ask Your Highness, which woman doesn't like these?" Yu Yan laughed, and used her finger to hook the jade hairpin that he threw to the side.

She was a common person. A common person loved gold and silver! With such a gift, she wouldn't fake it and say no. Why not? If you are willing to give it to her, she will take it, if you want it, then give it to her, it's your own, it's none of her business, if you want her to do it, then do it, if it's a good thing, if you don't accept it, then come and take it back, if you have the face, then she's willing to return it.

Yulixiao looked at her limpid eyes and blinked. He suddenly smiled, twirled his fingers around her long hair and lightly tugged, and said in a deep voice: "Today, when I was speaking so honestly, did you do something for fear of letting me know?"

"What do you dare to do that is dishonest? Her Majesty wanted me to take the records of the prince's illness and whether his legs were healed or not. Even if I didn't say anything, the king would still know that the prince had seen through the palace better than me. Why don't you give me a copy of the records of the prince's illness earlier and have me report back to the palace? "

Yu Yan straightforwardly raised her head to look at him, two ripples in her pupils.

"Yu Yan, you sure know how to please both sides." He sneered.

"Since it's for the sake of living, why not help the prince?" Yu Yan smiled, becoming even more gentle and respectful.

"The way you're talking is disgusting." Suddenly angry, he flung her hair on top of her and growled.

Damn that stinking man, Yu Yan grabbed the jade hairpin, and resisted the urge to stab it with all her might.

She retorted. This person threatened to kill her. She lowered her voice. This person said that she was disgusted! He didn't know why he left her alone in the carriage. Was it to make him feel nauseous? If you eat too much, you'll be asking for a beating! Hate it, temperamental tyrant, bastard! With such heavy injuries, how come his throat wasn't blocked? It was best if he didn't know how to speak!

She pursed her lips, her breathing became hurried. She turned her face away and hurriedly tied up her hair with a jade hairpin to prevent it from being pulled out by him.

"You're cursing me in your heart?" He pushed off with his toe and gently lifted her calf, lifting up her skirt.

"I don't dare." Yu Yan said softly as she pulled his leg in and moved it to the side.

"Yu Yan, you're cursing — why isn't this king a mute?" His pupils constricted as he slapped her lips with her finger.

"Ah, how do you know?" Yu Yan quickly raised her head and met the slightly angry look in his eyes, along with her sinister face.

Sigh, I've been tricked by him again!

Yu Yan frowned, could this man even read minds?

The carriage stopped.

Yu Yan was anxious to get rid of this awkward and depressing atmosphere, she hurriedly said. "My prince, we're here, I'll go down first."

Yulixiao did not stop her. He saw her anxiously jumping down the carriage, and before he could even stand steadily, he climbed back up and looked at him with a flushed face.

It was a large bathhouse specially used by the soldiers in the capital. The backyard was completely open and only surrounded by a bamboo fence. Large trees stood outside the fence. There were many big barrels of water in the open air in the courtyard, and someone was drawing water from the well.

Right now, the carriage was parked outside the courtyard, and the courtyard was filled with bare-chested, burly men with a white cloth wrapped around their waists. All of them were tall and strong, full of vigor.

"How can the prince not make a sound?" Her face was red with embarrassment.

"Didn't you want This King to be a mute? Are you afraid of watching this scene? " He sneered.

"You …" She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

"Your Highness." The guard called to him in a low voice.

Then came the sound of hurried footsteps. The soldiers all gathered around and looked at King Xiao who was falling from the sky in surprise.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you. This King wants to see you." He gently lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Everyone quickly kneeled down and clasped their fists in greeting.

"Thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old."

The man was thick and fierce, her voice loud and deafening. Yu Yan covered her ears with her eyes and hid at the side as she panted.

"Someone, carry This King down." The King Xiao said in a hoarse voice.

The guard pushed open the door of the carriage and carefully carried him down. Someone else brought him a chair to sit on. Everyone gathered around him and looked at him excitedly.

These were all middle ranking officers, and had great influence in the army. Amongst them, many were once Yulixiao's subordinates.

"Today is the Frigid Food Festival, and I used to spend it together with you guys in the military. I can't help but sigh and think that you guys would come take a bath, so I came to take a look." Yulixiao took a cup of tea from a man, opened the lid and took a whiff, then spoke out.

"Your highness was injured in such a manner because I was unable to protect you." The man who served the tea knelt before him with a ashamed look on his face and clasped his fists.

"It has nothing to do with you. This King was careless. Get up." Yulixiao reached out to support him, chuckled, then turned to look at a big man on the right and said: "It's actually nothing much, just skin and bones are still tough, Ah Lang, have you taken a step back with your archery?"

Hearing that Yulixiao still remembered his name, the man called Ah Lang was startled, then excitedly walked out. He cupped his fists and said loudly: "Reporting to Your Highness, practice everyday, do not dare to be lazy.

"Someone, bring the bow over. This king will compete with the Ah Lang." Yulixiao nodded, with a light brush of his hand, he looked at the people around him and said: "Put on your clothes, this king's beloved concubine is still in the carriage."

Everyone thought of the beauty who had just got out of the car and quickly apologized. They hurried to put on their clothes and would be back in a short while. Their clothes were all neatly put on and they once again had a dignified appearance.

This was the fastest group of people Yu Yan had ever seen. It could be seen that they were normally well-trained, but also showed how strict the person who governed the army was.

Ah Lang wore a brown robe with his sleeves tied tightly. He had a big square face and eyes, and was very spirited. He held a black wooden bow in his hands, walked over and bowed towards Yulixiao, and asked: "Prince, how many arrows are there?"

"You decide." Yulixiao raised his hand.

"Then... Two arrows? " Ah Lang hesitated for a moment, looked at his leg, and said softly.

It was obvious that the Ah Lang was a little perturbed. Yulixiao was crippled, and compared to him, he was afraid that it was too difficult. But if the comparison was too simple, then he would look down on Yulixiao too much.

"Sure, you go first. I'll drink some tea." Yulixiao nodded lightly.

"Your subordinate has offended you." Ah Lang saluted again and extended his hand to receive the two arrows from the side.

Someone had already suspended a silver wine jug the size of a palm onto a tall tree in the courtyard. With the wind blowing, the jug continuously swayed back and forth.

Ah Lang nocked an arrow, aimed at the silver pot, and slowly drew back the bowstring.

Everyone held their breath and looked at him.

Before they could even react, he nocked another arrow and swiftly shot out. One after the other, the second arrow shot through the center of the shaking silver pot, and before it could enter the wall behind it, the other accurately pierced through the same arrow and ruthlessly pierced the tail feather of the first arrow …

Too exciting! Yu Yan couldn't help but exclaim softly.
