As the saying goes, ginger is still spicier when old.
Yan Yuhuan once disliked this sentence very much, just like she didn't like the elders saying that the younger ones: have no hair on their lips and can't do things well.
A person's unreliability cannot be determined by age.
But now, Yan Yuhuan feels that there are some old sayings that make some sense.
On the third day of Lu Yong's imprisonment, some people were already unable to sit still. The rouge shop in the north of the city did not open its doors to entertain customers for two consecutive days. The reason reported was that the shopkeeper was in poor health. Naturally, Yan Yuhuan would not miss this good opportunity.
"Chun Tao, set up the car." Yan Yu said with a smile, "Let's go to Rouge Shop in the north of the city."
Chuntao asked in confusion: "But the door of the rouge shop is closed, and there is no one inside."
Yan Yu laughed happily and said, "It's just that no one will go."
The rouge shop always smelled of powdered rouge. Before Yan Yuhuan entered, he covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief to avoid rhinitis.
She pushed the door gently, and the wooden door creaked, swayed, and opened a crack.
Yan Yuhuan opened the door directly and walked into the shop. She saw that the shop was empty from top to bottom, and there was no rouge or gouache anywhere.
"As expected, he ran away."
Yan Yuhuan walked to the counter and wiped a handful of dust on the counter with her fingertips. It was a thin layer. She must have left it yesterday.
"You ran away so quickly, you really thought I could ask anything..."
Yan Yuhuan didn't know whether to praise his prudence or his stupidity. He was really a pig-like opponent. If he didn't trust his own people, he would naturally fall apart.
Chuntao turned around and asked for instructions: "Princess Princess, what should we do next?"
Yan Yuhuan walked out of the rouge shop with her hands behind her hands, stretched her limbs greatly, moved her stiff waist, and said, "Go back and find Lao Lu."
Lu Yong was imprisoned for three days, and he was already in a daze. He couldn't tell the difference between day and night and time. He simply closed his eyes to rest and stopped struggling needlessly.
Crunch——
The two doors were slowly opened from the outside, and light poured into the room bit by bit, reflecting on Lu Yong's face. The latter opened his eyes that had not seen light for a long time, and vaguely saw a figure walking in. Lu Yong Yong's eyes were so stimulated by the sunlight that he closed them again.
"Uncle Lu, have you eaten?"
Lu Yong paused when he heard the sound and opened his eyes again. Yan Yuhuan was sitting in front of Lu Yong, with a smile on his lips and twirling his hair with his fingers.
Yan Yuhuan smiled sweetly: "I brought you delicious food today."
Seeing this smile, Lu Yong felt like he was falling into a cold pool, and there was a chill in the seams of his bones, just because he saw those eyes, which were smiling but without any warmth.
Lu Yong's tortured heart could no longer bear the temptation, and now his liver and gallbladder were even split.
"Princess...what do you want...? Please give me a pleasure..."
Yan Yuhuan curled her lips, as if she was not very satisfied with Lu Yong's reply, so she raised her hand with a helpless expression.
Zhou Xingyu handed the dagger to Yan Yuhuan's hand. The latter caressed the scabbard inlaid with gems and tourmalines, curled his lips and said: "Uncle Lu, I acted arrogantly, extravagantly and lustfully, and never took human life seriously. Ever since I was injured, After I woke up, I made up my mind to change my past, and I changed all my bad habits. Now, I am afraid I will go back to my old behavior again..."
Lu Yong raised his head in panic and stared at Yan Yuhuan, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"There are rumors that Princess Jingzhao likes to use human skin to make kites and green silk to make jade ears..."
Yan Yuhuan slowly pulled out the dagger and tapped her nails on the blade: "If I cut you a few times, the skin will inevitably have flaws and be incomplete. If I directly make a hole in the top of your head and pour mercury water into it, even though it will It can separate the skin and flesh neatly, but in the end it’s less fun~”
The cold light of the blade flashed, dazzling Lu Yong's eyes. He stretched his head forward as much as possible, as if to see the movement at the door, but the person he was waiting for never came. The open door filled with a bit of cool breeze. Breathed into his heart.
Lu Yong laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, so what if there are decades of loyalty? The human heart in this world..."
Yan Yuhuan leaned forward to close the distance between him and Lu Yong, put the dagger on Lu Yong's forehead, and asked with a smile: "Did you arrange for the shopkeeper of Rouge Shop?"
The blade of the dagger lingered at Lu Yong's hairline, making him tense up. He didn't dare to make the slightest move. Lu Yong gritted his teeth and looked at Yan Yuhuan with red eyes: "The slave is the wife's dowry servant, and only the wife has it." The right to deal with slaves!"
Yan Yuhuan sighed with regret and said, "You are really my mother's loyal servant..."
Hearing this, Lu Yong straightened his back even more, glanced sideways at Chuntao, and said loudly: "I want to see Madam!"
Yan Yuhuan sighed again, the regret in his tone was even worse than in the previous sentence.
"I'm afraid mother can't come to see you. I reported your death to her yesterday, and she was so sad that she was in bed."
When Lu Yong heard this, he struggled with emotion and said with splitting eyes, "You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! Madam will definitely ask for proof! I'm not dead!"
Zhou Xingyu said coldly: "Whether you are dead or alive is up to you."
Yan Yuhuan smiled while supporting her chin with her left hand. The dagger in her right hand gently scratched a shallow blood mark on Lu Yong's face, causing Lu Yong to faint and fall to the ground.
Yan Yuhuan lowered his eyes and looked at the man on the ground, and sneered: "It's really vulnerable. It seems that we haven't cracked the hard nut yet."
"Princess!" The servant Yingyue reported at the door: "The Holy Master of the Tian Family is here. Madam blocked the door and refused to let in. Commander Yan asked the servants to come and ask for the Princess's wishes."
Yan Yuhuan turned the dagger a few times between his fingers, put it into the sheath, and then stood up and said: "Send people to guard this place strictly. Within a radius of 100 meters, the whole government is not allowed to come near without the permission of the princess. Anyone who violates will be punished." Leave Yan Mansion and never use it again."
Chuntao nodded in agreement and followed Yan Yuhuan to the gate.
Yan Yuhuan just arrived and saw Yan Yunyi stabbing the emperor with a Zhangba spear.
"Mother!" Yan Yuhuan was almost frightened. If he hadn't arrived in time and injured the emperor, the entire Yan family would have been executed.
Yan Yunyi turned around and saw Yan Yuhuan, and exclaimed: "My son came just in time, bring me a handy weapon, and we two will kill this unfaithful man together!"
Li Zheng's eyes were still red. When he saw Yan Yuhuan approaching, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Yan Yuhuan, however, was a little unfamiliar and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yan Yuhuan, is here to see you. Your Majesty is well."
Yan Yunyi said angrily: "Why are you being polite to him?!"
Yan Yuhuan turned around and signaled Yan Yunyi to calm down with her eyes, then turned back to Li Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, please don't blame me. My mother's rude behavior today is really because of your Majesty's unlucky visit. Please forgive me and send you off." Return to the palace."
