Concubine, don't flirt: His Royal Highness is hiding something

"Young Master Xue, you!" Zhaoniang looked at Xue Ying who suddenly appeared domineeringly, "This is the Crown Princess!"

She yelled anxiously, and hurriedly wiped the tea off Yu Qiqi's face with a silk handkerchief.

"I know that you are brother Yan's concubine, but if you make Madam Wan sad, I won't make it easier for you!" Xue Ying pouted, her red face full of anger.

"So you are Xue Ying, but I have never offended Wanniang." Yu Qiqi took Zhaoniang's hand, sat up, and looked at him.

"It's because Brother Yan spent the night with you last night that Madam Wan is sad, and you are bullying her."

Just now on the way to the teacher's place, he heard two maids discussing this matter with his own ears, remembering the sense of loss that Luyin felt before he went out, he ran here in a fit of anger.

Yu Qiqi put her feet on the clogs, Zhaoniang knelt down and put the clogs on for her, she took a few steps forward, and got closer to him, "If you say it like that, if you Yan My brother is spending the night with Wanniang, shouldn't I also go over and pour her a cup of tea?"

She spoke softly, but with a sense of majesty.

"I...Brother Yan can spend the night with her, but not with you!" Xue Ying was so choked by her that she couldn't find a word, she hurriedly dropped this sentence mixed with threats, and ran out of her Yaoguang Palace .

Yu Qiqi looked at the back of him running out, and raised her hand to wipe the tea on her forehead.

"Crown Princess, you..." Zhao Niang stood aside, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, wondering if she should raise her hand to help her wipe it.

"I'm fine." Yu Qiqi answered her directly, then turned and walked to the vanity mirror.

When Yan Shiqing opened his eyes, he felt dizzy in his head. Seeing that he was awake, Qing Yu hurried forward with the towel in his hand, "Master, you are awake."

"Did Seventh Sister come here last night?" He rubbed his temples and asked him in a low voice.

"The Seventh Princess came here and left after staying for a while." Qing Yu's expression was evasive.

Yan Shiqing took the towel he handed over.After wiping her face, she became sober, "I didn't make things difficult for her, did I?"

He probably remembered what happened last night, but he was afraid that after the two of them quarreled, he would do something he shouldn't have done.

"No, Shizi didn't make things difficult for her." Qing Yu hastily denied.

He nodded slightly, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

When Qing Yu finished washing and washing for him and brought breakfast into his room, there was no sign of Yan Shiqing.After leaving the Proton Mansion, Yan Shiqing went straight to Gu Xia's place.

"Yo, why is Yan Shizi here?"

Gu Xia's hands had just concluded the infiltration of the Western Chu forces into Yanjing City, and now he saw people from Nanzhao, and his expression was not very good.

"My son heard that Commander Gu has made great achievements recently, so he came here specially to congratulate him." He held a sword in his hand as a congratulatory gift from him.

"I haven't had much contact with Yan Shizi, so I can't accept this congratulatory gift. Besides, the credit for clearing the Western Chu forces last time can't be counted as mine. It was all ordered by His Highness."

He turned his head and did not accept the long sword he handed over.

"Commander Gu will have a look first, and then it's not too late to make a decision." Yan Shiqing knew that his favorite weapon was a long sword.People who practice martial arts have no other hobbies, except for weapons.

Gu Xia glanced at it. There was an agate stone inlaid on the hilt of the sword, which was shining with green light. He hesitated for a moment, then took the sword from him. As soon as the scabbard came out, a cold light hit his face. With one blow, all the branches ten meters ahead fell down.

"I asked a famous swordsmith in the Nanzhao Imperial City to forge this. After a whole month of hard work, the iron was cut like mud. Only you can afford it."

When Yan Shiqing first came to Nanzhao, he made a lot of preparations. He kept this sword in his house all the time, hoping to find a suitable time to give it to him.

"looking for me?"

Although he is a rough man, he is still smart in this regard, knowing that he will not be rewarded for his merits.

"I know that Mr. Gu is loyal to Emperor Yan Jing. In the future, when His Royal Highness the crown prince ascends to the throne, you will definitely fulfill your duties and will not do anything that is detrimental to the entire Yanjing. So I am here today to let you pay attention to one person , Only by keeping an eye on this person, can we not give Xichu the opportunity to take advantage of it." Yan Shiqing said in a low voice.

Gu Xia squinted her eyes, and asked harshly, "Who is it?"

"Concubine Yi in the palace." She is from Western Chu, and all the courtiers in Yanjing know it.

"You're not from Yanjing, why should I believe what you say?" No matter if you're from Western Chu or Nanzhao, Gu Xia will never trust you.

"I have always been on good terms with your nephew, so naturally I will not harm his uncle. Besides, if Yanjing restrains Xichu, it will also benefit Nanzhao."

His eyes sank, causing Gu Xia to slightly clenched the long sword in his hand.

Compared with Yanjing's safety, what he had to pay close attention to at the moment was the power of Xichu. With the lessons learned from the past, he didn't want such a thing to happen again.

This time, there was Nangong Yan blocking the sword for him, and Emperor Yan Jing might not let him go so easily next time.

"Okay then, I'll trust you once more."

The scrutiny in Gu Xia's eyes slowly faded away, and her expression became a little more dignified.

When he came out from Gu Xia's place, Yan Shiqing's eyes were stained with deep meaning.He didn't act until the king of Xichu came to the door again. It would be too late. Only by protecting himself and Concubine Yi first could they have a way out.

Just as Lin Chaoge was grabbing some medicine from the pharmacy, a familiar figure passed by outside the door, "Brother Qing!" It's been a long time since I've seen him, and the name she calls him has become much more intimate.

Hearing the cry, Yan Shiqing turned his head and saw her and Su Xin standing outside the door of the pharmacy. He looked up at the plaque of the pharmacy, and then asked, "Miss Lin, are you here to get the medicine for Lord Hou?"

Lin Chaoge looked at the medicine in his hand, nodded his head, with a helpless expression on his face, "Since we arrived in Huizhou with my grandfather, his condition has become more and more serious. The doctor said that the medicine primer is only from Yixin in Yanjing City." It's only available at the pharmacy, and this is the third time I've come to get the medicine."

"Why didn't the little marquis come here to get the medicine?" After all, she is a boudoir girl, and it is not safe to go out to get the medicine.

"Grandfather often loses his temper. He always said that it was because of himself that the Lin family lost the title of Zhongliang for generations. I can't look after him alone, so I can only let my brother stay in the house to take care of him, and I will go out to get medicine."

She lowered her head and tapped her toes lightly.

Yan Shiqing clenched his hands, he couldn't completely ignore this matter, it was his fault, and after a while, he said: "If you need to catch medicine in the future, you can pass the letter to me a few days in advance, and I will catch it." Once you get the medicine, someone will send it to Huizhou for you, and it will save you from running over every time."

"No, no brother Qing, it's not easy for you to be alone in Yanjing City, how can Geer bother you?" Lin Chaoge waved his hands hastily.

Su Xin pursed her lips, and couldn't help but say a few words, "Miss, Yan Shizi is willing to do this for us, why don't you allow it? You forgot, when we came last time, we all encountered bandits on the road, If you were not rescued by a passing knight, you would have died..."

"Don't talk too much!"

Lin Chaoge turned his head and scolded her.

Su Xin gritted her teeth unconvinced, and turned her face away.

Yan Shiqing looked at her.A trace of distress flashed in his eyes, "Young Lord Hou helped me a lot when I was in Yanjing City, and you helped me a lot too. Ms. Lin should stop refusing, otherwise I will feel very sorry."

Lin Chaoge just lowered his head and didn't agree to her, Su Xin hastily tugged at her sleeve, she hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Brother Qing, take care of yourself." She raised her head, smiled at him, and then left from the door of the pharmacy.

Su Xin followed in her footsteps.He murmured, "Miss, what the servant said was right. If Shizi Yan hadn't insisted on calling the master back, Lord Hou's mansion wouldn't be what it is today..."

"Stop talking!"

In the crowd, she scolded again.

Su Xin immediately fell silent, and the master and servant got into the carriage parked not far away.After glancing at Yan Shiqing in the car, Lin Chaoge put down the curtain.

Yan Shiqing stood there with a heavy expression on his face. He didn't expect that Lin Chaoge knew everything, but he never revealed it to him.

He narrowed his eyes, and continued walking towards the Proton Mansion after the carriage had traveled far.

Nangong Yan did not know from whom she learned that Xue Ying had poured tea on Yu Qiqi. When he hurried to the Yaoguang Palace, she was drinking plum soup.

"Qiqi, are you okay? Did you get burned?" In an instant, he was beside Yu Qiqi, grabbed her hand, and stared at her face carefully.

"Puff--" She thought it was funny, and burst out laughing, her clear eyes also turned around him, "Nervous about me?"

His cold expression was immediately covered with shame, "Who is nervous about you?" He let go of his hand, turned his face away, and sat beside her.

Yu Qiqi smiled.Putting down the soup bowl in his hand, he took his hand, "Okay, stop pretending, I know you're nervous about me, don't worry, the tea is for Zhaoniang to wash me up, it's not hot."

"Why are you so careless? I'll call a few more guards over and watch outside your door later." Nangong Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said distressedly.

"No, it's fine if you have Ah Jian. It was an accident this morning, so I'll just pay more attention in the future." She fiddled with his slender and smooth fingers lightly, and stuck out her tongue.

Nangong Yan stretched out his other hand and pinched the tip of her nose, "Listen to you." Then his expression became a little more serious, "I don't know why Ying'er became so impolite, but he was A well-behaved child, I originally thought about raising him by your side." Now, he really couldn't figure it out.

Yu Qiqi lowered her eyes, and did not tell him the words Xue Ying threatened her, but said lightly, "Your Highness should teach him a few words, so that he can remember it long. After all, this is not a big deal. If the punishment is severe Not good."

"Don't worry about this, I will take care of myself." He also replied softly.

"By the way, there is something I want to ask you." Thinking of what Yan Shiqing said last night, she hesitated for a long time before asking him.

"Huh?" He lowered his head slightly.

"When Concubine Yi sent Yan Shiqing out of the palace, was the fire set off by Concubine Xuanyu?" She asked cautiously.

Nangong Yan frowned, "Did he tell you?"

Yu Qiqi nodded slightly, "Yes, but I want to ask clearly, I don't want to cause any misunderstanding between you two."

"It wasn't my concubine who sent someone to release her." The next moment, Nangong Yan answered her.

"It seems that Brother Qing is still very dangerous in Yanjing City." She blinked.There was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Hmph! Even his grandfather, the King of Xichu County, wanted to kill him, what do you think?" Seeing her worrying about Yan Shiqing, he felt a little upset.

"I know this, I just feel sorry for Brother Qing, even the closest person to me treats me like this..."

Yu Qiqi gripped his hand a little tighter, and there was an explanation in her words, but also a sense of regret.

Nangong Yan was stunned, his eyes were full of inquisitiveness, the corners of his lips twitched, and his throat was astringent, "Qiqi, what if I do this to you in the future? What will you do? Sample?"

Yu Qiqi raised her head, her clear eyes met his unclear eyes.Pulling out her hand, she moved it up to his chest little by little, and finally stopped at the position of the heart, she bent down in front of him, and got very close to him, "If that day really comes, I will definitely kill you. "

Her cool breath brushed against his cold cheeks.

"Puff--"

As soon as she finished speaking, she herself laughed out loud and asked him, "How is it? I act like it?"

Nangong Yan also raised the corners of his lips, with a smile on his face, he nodded, "Like, like." But the place she touched felt a throbbing pain.

After Xue Ying went back, Lu Yin realized that he had caused trouble, and immediately took him to the outside of Nangong Yan's Hall of Chenghe, and made him kneel on the ground, waiting for Nangong Yan to come back to plead guilty.

Therefore, before Nangong Yan returned to the Chenghe Palace, he saw Xue Ying kneeling on the ground and Lu Yin standing aside from afar.

He stepped up and walked towards the two of them.

"Your Highness, you are back." Lu Yin slightly nodded at him.

"You don't need to kneel here, you go back and reflect on yourself, is that right?" He looked at Xue Ying with a serious expression on his face.

"No." Xue Ying immediately shook her head, and then continued: "Princess Concubine is the main concubine in the Eastern Palace, Ying'er should respect her, follow her teachings, and should not pour tea at her."

There was already a vibrato in the words, and I thought I had been kneeling for a long time.

"Then why did you throw tea at her?" Logically speaking, Yu Qiqi had just returned to the East Palace for a few days, and they hadn't even met face to face, so there shouldn't be any friction.

"I, I..." Xue Ying scratched her fingers, too nervous to speak.

Hearing this, Lu Yin took a step forward, "Your Highness, it was because of my concubine that Ying'er ran to the Crown Princess and poured tea on her..."

"because of you?"

Nangong Yan didn't know, so he looked at her with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

"En." She nodded, "You have been away from the Eastern Palace for so long this time, and you finally came back, but you stayed at the Crown Princess's place for the night first. Ying'er learned about it from some maid, and ran to the Crown Princess on a whim. Absurd things were done there."

She didn't hide anything, she told everything.

Nangong Yan raised her eyebrows and was at a loss for words.After a while, I squatted down and said to him: "In the future, you should not meddle in the affairs of adults. It is right to study with your husband, understand?"

Xue Ying raised her head, with tears in her eyes, she nodded, "Ying'er knows."

"Get up." Nangong Yan stretched out his hand and helped him up from the ground.

Lu Yin took Xue Ying's hand and nodded at him, "Then Your Highness, I will take Ying back first."

Nangong Yan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded, Lu Yin was taken aback, and took Xue Ying to leave outside his palace gate.

Ever since he was punished and returned from the palace, the Duke of Xichu has been staying behind closed doors. The last time he lost a fight with Nangong Yan in the palace of the Duke of the Prince, the resentment in his heart has been accumulated all the time.

Wu Lian waited several times outside his hall with ginseng soup, but failed to get his summons.

This day, as soon as the sound of her footsteps appeared outside, the door of the palace was opened by his palm force, and Wu Lian, who was holding the ginseng soup, was stunned and walked in slowly.

She put the soup pot on the mahogany round table, opened it and served him a bowl, and the hall immediately gave off a burst of fragrance.

"Jun Wang, you still need something to eat." She put the ginseng soup in front of him.

I haven't seen him for a few days, his spirit is not very good, and he has become a little sluggish, but the light in his eyes is still there, and it is a little stronger.

The king of Xichu County didn't say anything, picked up her ginseng soup, opened his mouth and drank it, and he drank all the ginseng soup with just one sip.

"Is there any news from Yi'er?" This was the first time he asked Yanjing's movements since he had been silent for so many days.

"After what happened last time, Emperor Yan Jing went to find Empress Yi, and they had already made it clear that if she sent another message to the county king, her life would be in danger. Moreover, Emperor Yan Jing I won't give her this chance again." Wu Lian sighed with regret in her voice.

The King of Xichu County narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and said slowly: "I remember that there is a woman in Yi'er's hand, who was placed in Nangongyan's East Palace by her, so go find her and find a way to get her to us. Send a message."

Wu Lian thought for a while, then thought of Lu Yin, "That woman seems to like Nangong Yan very much. Ever since she broke up with Empress Yi, she hasn't looked for Empress Yi, and she probably changed her mind."

His long and narrow eyes fell on her, and he hooked his lips, "You have to think about it."

"Yes." Wu Lian lowered her head and agreed.

Before the night darkened, she quietly rushed to Yanjing.

After returning from Chenghe Hall, Xue Ying apologized to Lu Yin, "I'm sorry, Madam Wan, it's all Ying'er's fault, causing you and Ying'er to suffer together."

If she hadn't thought about it, he would have been punished more severely by Nangong Yan.

"It's okay, Ying'er doesn't need to apologize to me, but I have to listen to your brother Yan in the future, don't do such a stupid thing again." She rubbed his head.

"Ying'er knows, but if she dares to bully Madam Wan, Ying'er will not let her go." There was still some anger in his eyes.

"Okay, I know you love Madam Wan." Lu Yin's soft eyes were filled with distress, and he neither agreed nor rejected him.

After settling Xue Ying, Linglong helped her change clothes, waited for her to take a bath, rubbed her head, and said in a strange way: "I don't know what happened this time, Your Highness loves the Crown Princess so much, I have never seen them before." How good is the relationship between the two..."

"Perhaps it's because the two of them have experienced life and death this time, so His Highness cherishes her very much." Lu Yin said softly, but her eyes were full of hatred.

"What is life and death? Your Highness has been with the Empress much longer than her. What qualifications does she have to compare with you?!" Linglong said still unconvinced.

"Be calm, have you forgotten the pain last time?" Seeing that she spoke without restraint, Lu Yin rebuked her.

"I know I was wrong, but I will never forget your mother's kindness to me." She hastily admitted her mistake.

The last time outside Chenghe Hall, because she framed Yu Qiqi for overturning Walnut Crisp, Nan Gongyan almost didn't have someone beat her to death. At that time, half of her life was gone. If it wasn't for Lu Yin who ordered someone to give her Bring medicine, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand here and talk to her right now.

Lu Yin closed her eyes and ignored her.

The strength of Linglong's kneading is very appropriate, she stood outside the Hall of Chenghe for too long today, she accidentally fell asleep.After an unknown amount of time, a gust of cold wind blew across her body, and she slowly opened her eyes. In front of her, stood a woman covered in gauze.

"Who are you?!" She leaned against the edge of the tub, shrinking back a little.

Wu Lian stared at her, her eyes were tepid, but it could be seen that she had a bad temper, she opened her hoarse throat, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." She walked towards her slowly, Standing by the tub, "You stay in the East Palace just to stay with Nangong Yan, don't you? I can fulfill your wish."

"I don't need your help. Your Highness loves me, and he will always let me stay by his side." She frowned, with panic in her eyes.

"It's a mutual love, but there is a princess by his side, right? As long as this princess is alive, you will never be able to stay with him forever. You are not afraid that one day, he will do it for his Crown Princess, will you be kicked out of the East Palace?"

Enduring the pain in her throat, Wu Lian spoke to her in a hoarse voice, her eyes were a little moved.

"No, back then when I left the East Palace in a fit of anger, His Highness sent people out to look for me every day. After I came back, he has always treated me very well. He would never do such a thing!" She said green The panic in Yin's heart made her words a little excited.

Wu Lian slightly raised her eyebrows, shed the emotion in her eyes, and covered her with a bit of ruthlessness, "But, hasn't it changed recently? He is no longer obedient to you, and will only listen to his princess, he My heart is no longer with you."

"It was just for a while, he still likes me and loves me." Lu Yin's hand was tightly grasping the edge of the tub, and his knuckles had already turned white.

"You really know how to deceive yourself, do you want to listen to me tell you a story?" Wu Lian looked at her with pity, and her words were full of sadness.

Lu Yin's body trembled, swallowing the dryness in her throat, "You, you say."

"I had an old friend before, and she was just as stupid as you. She wanted to stay with the person she liked, and she didn't care even if he had a wife. She felt that as long as he didn't love his wife, he only loved her. She was satisfied. But what she didn't expect was that people would be motivated by interests, and they would fall in love with each other for a long time. In the end, she was not only kicked away by her husband, but also scratched her face, making her have to listen to him forever. , torturing her, making her life worse than death!"

After she spoke, her voice became hoarse and terrifying.
