In the night, the moonlight is like water, gently shining on the roof tiles, and the breeze blows, as if all the hustle and bustle of the world has been taken away.
As night falls, the lights of the barbarian houses gradually go out, leaving only a few lanterns swaying in the night, like lonely fireflies, looking for a glimmer of light in the darkness.
The streets at this moment were so quiet that only the sound of drums could be heard, each sound melodious and far-reaching, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. The ancient trees in the night look more solemn and solemn, contrasting with the moonlight, as if time has stood still at this moment.
The lake is even more mysterious at night. The moonlight shines on the lake, making it sparkle, as if there are countless silver fish jumping. The wind blows, the lake surface ripples, and the reflected moonlight sways. It's like a splash-ink landscape painting, making people feel like they are in a dream.
The ancient city wall stands like an ancient and firm guardian, silently guarding this land. The bricks and stones on the city wall have witnessed countless years of wind and rain, and each brick and stone seems to tell an ancient story.
In this night, a small boat docked quietly by the lake, with a bright lamp lit on the boat. Under the light, the lake water is like a silver mirror, reflecting the outline of the boat.
People in the boat are either meditating or staring, as if they are looking for their own tranquility and poetry in the night.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and the young emperor on the boat frowned subconsciously, as if he was annoyed by someone disturbing the peaceful night.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister is here."
Ta Yan was slightly stunned, "Let him come up."
Not long after he finished speaking, Ji Yanchen, dressed in black, stepped onto the boat.
He bowed, looked around, and sighed: "They all say that the beauty of the palace is unique, but I never thought that the island in the middle of the lake is even more like a paradise."
Ta Yan came to the table and sat down. He raised his hand and poured a glass of wine. "Xiangbang came here late at night. What's the important thing?"
Ji Yanchen came to the table and sat down. He looked at Ta Yan quietly and whispered: "I have a good friend. She needs food and cloth now. I wonder if the king can generously help?"
Ta Yan's hand stroking the wine glass paused slightly.
"What friend?"
"As far as I know, Xiangbang doesn't have many close friends."
"Of course there is, she is the Marquis of Liangzhou of the Yin Kingdom, the former eldest son of Prince Xiang of Chu, Yin Luzhu."
"Yin Luzhu." Ta Yan murmured the name lightly, "It sounds a little cute."
"But he is Xiangbang's friend, not my king's. Why should I send food and cloth to Xiangbang? What can Xiangbang promise me?"
Ji Yanchen seemed to have expected that he would ask this question, so he just curled his lips and smiled.
Immediately, he put a pill on the table, "This pill was just developed by me. It can relieve the thorn in the king's heart."
Ta Yan stared at the dark pills on the table, her eyes tightened suddenly, and then she slammed her palm on the table, "How dare you let me poison Uncle Wang!"
"Haha." Ji Yanchen laughed lowly, "This medicine took a lot of effort to develop. If you take it, your body will lose weight day by day. If the oil is exhausted, no one can see it. If he was in a state of poisoning, he would just think that the prince himself was indulging in wine and sex and hurting his body."
Hearing this, Ta Yan took a deep look at Ji Yanchen and then laughed.
"Xiangbang's words are serious. There is no need for transactions between you and me. Xiangbang's friends are naturally my friends. It's just food and cloth, so just give them."
