Chapter 125
Yan Chengyuan's face was calm, this was similar to what he guessed.
That's great, tomorrow he will get to know these idiots firsthand.
Thinking of this, he reached out and took out the tiger talisman he brought with him on this trip, which was exactly what he expected to use to deal with Jiangnan. The secret guard knelt forward and hurriedly took it with both hands.
"Take twenty secret guards with you, take the tiger talisman and dispatch the troops guarding Jiangnan as soon as possible. Stay outside the city and don't let anyone notice."
He ordered the next action calmly, and the secret guards knelt on the ground and listened carefully.
Then Yan Chengyuan took another look at the sky outside. Yue'er should have woken up by now.
After giving a few more orders, he waved his hand to let the secret guards retreat.
He walked towards Yun Chuyue's room, and finally came back before Yun Chuyue had breakfast.
The two of them were so close last night. Although they didn't do it to the end, they did what they should and shouldn't do.
It was ridiculous.
At this time, Yun Chuyue was sitting there and was about to have a meal when she saw him stride in.
The two looked at each other, both of them dodged their eyes, shyly hiding. She avoided his gaze.
Her ears were red as if dyed red by the morning sunrise.
It was Yan Chengyuan who turned around first, pretending not to be so embarrassed and walked in, sitting next to her.
After looking at her for a while, she was a little overwhelmed by being stared at. In fact, when she looked at him now, she would inexplicably think of last night.
Especially when she saw his mouth.
She didn't know where to put her hands.
He was naturally the same. He cleared his throat and spoke to ease the atmosphere at the moment, talking about the results of the secret guards' investigation of the disaster victims. As expected, her attention was attracted and she no longer avoided his eyes because of what happened last night.
Yun Chuyue frowned slightly,"Buried alive and burned alive?"
She didn't expect that they would think of burying and burning alive for so many disaster victims. If they were burned alive, she even suspected that there were some officials in Jiangnan who were excited by abusing others.
It was really sick.
Yan Chengyuan saw that her little frown was so cute, so he reached out and started to help her get a bowl of glutinous rice and pumpkin porridge. He scooped it up little by little with a spoon and put it in the bowl, answering her questions while helping her blow it cool
"Yes, that's right. I have sent secret guards to dispatch troops. The 200,000 troops stationed in Jiangnan should be enough to deal with this matter. There may be a battle tomorrow night. After all, Jiangnan has been independent for so many years, and there are many things we don't know that well."
"You must be careful then. I know your skills are better than mine. Maybe no one can do anything to you, but I'm still a little worried."
He put the porridge in front of her. She had been accustomed to his way of serving her these days. She picked up the porridge and started to eat.
He helped her set the dishes. The dishes on the table were all her favorite flavors, which he had ordered in advance.
Yun Chuyue tilted her head in confusion when she heard his words,"Don't worry, no one can do anything to me, and tomorrow may be a tough battle. Although the soldiers and horses in Jiangnan are not that strong, there are still quite a few. Besides, I can help you with my skills. Don't worry about me. I will always be by your side."
He originally wanted to refute, not wanting her to take risks.
Especially after she was with him, he loved her even more.
He had told himself in his heart a long time ago that he would not let her live the kind of life she had before, where she was displaced and on the run.
But she said that it seemed like a good idea to stay with him all the time, otherwise he would be worried about her if she was not around.
All these officials in Jiangnan saw her following him, and they might turn their target to her.
In the eyes of the world, women are usually seen as vulnerable, and they automatically classify women as a group that can be manipulated.
So when he is not around, those people will definitely think that they can catch her to threaten him.
He finally nodded in agreement,"Then stay with me all the time, don't leave my sight, and after we finish dealing with things here, we will get married when we return to Beijing. What do you think?""
She was almost choked by her sudden words, her fox eyes slightly widened, is this the ancient version of a proposal?
But the proposal is at the dinner table?
Yan Chengyuan put on a lost look and started to tease her again, especially like a lost puppy drenched in the rain:"We were like that yesterday, aren't you going to take responsibility for me?"
He became more and more shocked as he spoke, his eyes began to moisten:"Are you going to be a heartless woman? You...……"
She couldn't let him go on, he was getting more and more outrageous:"Stop, stop, stop, don't accuse me of something I don't have. When did I say I was irresponsible? And how could I be called an unfaithful woman?"
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he no longer looked like he was about to cry:"Yue'er, I understand. You agree. After we return to Beijing, we will get married. Don't worry, I only have you in my life, and you must only have me."
Yun Chuyue pretended not to hear his little tricks and nodded indulgently,"Okay, I'll do as you say."
He immediately helped her pick up the dishes on the table more diligently, his mouth almost grinning to his ears. He smiled like a fool, and she was also a little happy, with a slight curl at the corners of her mouth.
The sweet atmosphere between the two of them was to the point where sparks would fly just by looking at each other.
But someone who ruined the mood came
""Your Majesty, Wu Jingshi requests an audience." An Twenty-Five reported respectfully outside the door.
Yan Chengyuan's face changed immediately, his eyes were fierce as if he was going to kill someone in the next second.
He really wanted to kill this man directly, but he knew that Yue'er wanted to keep this man alive for the time being, so he could only suppress his killing intent.
He said,"Let her go chop wood."
Wu Jingshi, who was outside the door, naturally heard these nonchalant words, and could even hear a hint of disgust in them.
She suddenly became a little anxious. She only had two chances to see His Majesty, today and tomorrow morning, because Zhou Lang would take action tomorrow night.
His Majesty would die here by then, and she would have no chance then.
She thought about His Majesty's strong body, and she felt a little weak in her legs. She mustered up the courage and said loudly to the room,"Your Majesty, your servant Wu Jingshi requests an audience."
An Twenty-Five had already walked up to her, but she had not heard the person in the room who made her miss him say a word to her.
An Twenty-Five reached out to the backyard where he was chopping wood:"Please come in, Miss Wu. His Majesty does this because he sees that you are too weak. This is for your own good. You must be grateful for the emperor's grace!"
Wu Jingshi was a little indignant. Who was she and who was this secret guard? How dare he talk to her like that?
An Twenty-Five ignored her eyes and pretended not to see or hear. Anyway, this Wu Jingshi would die tomorrow night.
Wu Jingshi failed to see his majesty again and felt aggrieved.
She thought that she must see his majesty today. As long as his majesty saw her or touched her, he would definitely fall at her feet.
