Xiao Yu stepped on the wooden stairs to the second floor of Wangyou Pavilion. He saw Xiao Yuwan, the eldest princess of Yongning, standing in front of the window looking out at the lake.
He couldn't help but stopped and stood there blankly. The beautiful woman in front of him and the beautiful scenery seemed to form a beautiful painting.
At this moment, Xiao Yuwan turned around and nodded at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu felt that she had a kind face, but there was an indescribable tiredness all over her body. Her temperament is not that of a young woman in her early twenties, but that of a weathered mother.
"Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for a month, and you look much better than before." Xiao Yuwan said politely.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a long time before he remembered to salute the imperial sister.
"Come and sit!" Xiao Yuwan pointed to the couch and table that had been prepared in advance, while she made tea in front of the small stove nearby.
Xiao Yu sat down and looked at Xiao Yuwan, who specialized in tea ceremony, but felt a little unsure.
The water was just at the end of the first boil and the beginning of the second boil. The aroma of tea overflowed. Xiao Yuwan made a pot of tea and handed over the teacup. Then she raised her head and started chatting with Xiao Yu.
"I wonder how well Yudi lives in this courtyard. Are the servants serving him well?"
Xiao Yu knelt down straight on the low couch and said only two words: "Very good."
Xiao Yuwan smiled calmly: "The servants didn't neglect you, did they?"
"No." Xiao Yu's answer was still simple.
Xiao Yuwan glanced at Xiao Yu again. She didn't see any trace of the young prince's deliberate disguise that day in Jiankang Palace, but she saw in his eyes a kind of indifference that could repel people thousands of miles away. and a calmness that transcends age.
The emperor's intuition was right... Xiao Yuwan thought.
Seeing that her cousin, who was very lively and active when he was young, was now so silent and reserved, she couldn't help but feel that the person in front of her was extremely strange.
She seemed to be downplaying it, but in fact she asked without hesitation: "When will Yu Di's madness be cured?"
She noticed that Xiao Yu's body trembled slightly, and there was an imperceptible change on his calm face.
The corner of Xiao Yuwan's mouth curled up slightly, and the young prince's secret was revealed. She stood up slightly and added some tea to the other person's tea cup, while her eyes were paying attention to every subtle expression of her cousin.
She thought about many possible behaviors of Xiao Yu, including the possibility that her cousin would be violent and hurt herself.
But none of this happened. What surprised her was that the elegant young man in front of her drank tea like a cow. He raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, but the expression on his face seemed very relaxed.
She didn't like his lack of grace at this time, but at the same time, she also felt the wariness and alienation in the other person's eyes towards her.
"Sister Huang, what are you going to do to me? Kill me?"
Xiao Yuwan frowned. She was originally planning to give Xiao Yu a slap in the face, but now, all his previous plans seemed to be in vain.
The opponent is not an idiot or a fool, but a smart person. At least from the beginning, it seems that she did not take any advantage.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath. Instead of talking in circles through a layer of window paper, it would be more meaningful to speak openly and clearly.
"Brother Yu, you are overthinking. I am only concerned about your body. We are the only siblings here. No one wants to kill anyone."
"The man from Jinluan Palace might not think so!" Xiao Yu looked at the tea cup in his hand, "Sister Huang should know him better than me."
Xiao Yuwan smiled: "The Emperor did not mean this. It was Yu Di who overthought it. You know... His Majesty told me that Yu Di has recovered from his illness and is now in full swing!"
Although Xiao Yu remained calm on the surface, he was already complaining in his heart.
Or he was careless. His high-profile and excessive ostentation these days had attracted the attention of the supreme authority, and he underestimated his dangerous situation.
Come to think of it, in this big prison, how could every move he made hide from Xiao Yuheng's eyes and ears?
If someone understands, just say something understandable. To be honest, there are not many things in this world that he can really care about. For him who has had a time-travel experience, the worst he can do is to travel through the soul again. There is nothing to be afraid of. Thinking of it, Xiao Yu felt much calmer here, and felt that it didn't matter much.
"Sister Huang really compliments me, I'm not pretending, it's just..."
Before Xiao Yu could think of a way to respond, he felt an orchid-like fragrance coming to his nostrils, and an indescribable throbbing began to disturb his mind.
"Yu Di, do you need to explain anything else?" Xiao Yuwan was already leaning against him like a ghost, her charming red lips almost touching the tips of his ears, "Relax and just be your little prince. No one in my Daqi Dynasty would dare to touch a hair on your head."
Xiao Yu gasped violently, and the dangerous fragrance released when the flower of evil bloomed spread around Xiao Yu, giving him an unreal feeling like a dream.
His brain began to become confused. For some reason, Liu Boxuan and Liu Shishu's voice and appearance flashed in his mind at this moment. The warning he gave himself that night seemed to become the only straw that kept him awake at this moment.
This dangerous woman seems to have witchcraft on her body, which can confuse a person's mind...
In confusion, Xiao Yu seemed to see the clouds clearing before his eyes, and the charming aura suddenly disappeared.
When he looked at the magnificent Princess of Qi again, she was already two feet away from him.
She had transformed back into the most noble eldest princess in the empire, noble and elegant, and could not tolerate any blasphemy.
This woman is really scary...
Xiao Yu felt a little panicked. He absently held the tea cup again. The new tea was boiling hot, but he seemed completely unaware.
He raised the glass and drank it all just to calm himself down, completely forgetting the impact of the boiling water on his mouth.
At that moment, he sprayed tea all over the floor.
That scene was extremely embarrassing. Xiao Yuwan just covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and didn't seem to care at all.
Xiao Yu didn't care about this, he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
"It burned me to death..."
"Haha, Yudi wants to drink the freshly made tea in one gulp. Wouldn't it burn his mouth? I... can see that Yudi's mind is very confused." Xiao Yuwan replied lightly, and at this time she also picked up the cup. He picked up the tea cup in front of him, blew it gently before taking a sip, "Yu Di hasn't answered me yet, when will the illness be cured?"
"Everyone said that I was sick, but I never knew what kind of illness I had. But to be honest, I only had a little memory from the day the emperor summoned me a month ago. What happened before that was I don’t remember at all." Xiao Yu answered truthfully.
Xiao Yuwan glanced at Xiao Yu curiously, her eyes rolled, and she whispered softly: "What a coincidence, the emperor also dreamed about you at that time..."
Xiao Yu didn't hear Xiao Yuwan's murmur clearly.
"Sister Huang, what did you say?"
Xiao Yuwan suddenly said seriously: "Everything you said is true. There is no need to deceive me? Do you dare to swear to heaven?"
"Then why don't you dare?" Xiao Yu curled his lips and was about to raise his right hand.
"Okay, I believe you, so you don't have to swear that poisonous oath, but you have to explain to me the reasons clearly."
Xiao Yu curled his lips again, this ancient man is really troublesome.
How can this be explained so clearly to a soul traveler who told others that he lived in another world for almost thirty years and became the little prince he is today as soon as he opened his eyes due to a car accident?
To tell the truth, who can believe it based on the ancients’ understanding of the world?
Xiao Yu saw Xiao Yuwan's big eyes staring at him, and he had the feeling of being watched in the shower again, which was not a pleasant feeling.
He stretched out his aching tongue and thought: "The memory I had before was when I fell from the tree when I was ten years old. At first I felt dizzy, and then I didn't know what happened."
"Don't you know what you've done in the past eight years?"
"I don't know. They say I have been crazy for eight years, but I really don't know what happened in these eight years. I stayed in that shabby house when I woke up, and I don't know that the dynasties have changed outside."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yuwan still seemed a little doubtful.
"That's true." Xiao Yu paused when he said this, "But I had a very long dream. It seemed to be in a world different from this one."
"Are you saying that the Haotian Golden Tower Jade Emperor summoned your soul to heaven?" Xiao Yuwan's face seemed sarcastic.
Xiao Yu felt a little headache. No matter how smart Xiao Yuwan is, there are some inexplicable things that are beyond the knowledge of the ancients. How can she understand what time travel is.
"Absolutely!" Xiao Yu had no choice but to nod.
"Hehe...is there really something so weird and bizarre?"
"I can't tell clearly." Xiao Yu replied, just think whatever you want! But he suddenly raised his head again and said, "Sister Yuwan, what will happen to me in the future... in the future?"
"Sister Yuwan?" It was the first time Xiao Yuwan heard someone call her that, and she couldn't help but feel strange. She smiled faintly at Xiao Yu, "I just want to be your rich little prince."
"Am I really not going to die?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Death..." Xiao Yuwan sighed, "Your Majesty has no intention of slaughtering the Xiao family's blood anymore. Besides, only me and a few others are left in my generation after the lineage of my great ancestor has been passed down... As long as you can be your little prince with peace of mind, no If you have evil intentions, your Majesty will never think of murder again."
But thinking of Xiao Yuheng's moody, perverse and violent appearance, Xiao Yu still felt uneasy.
"Sister Yuwan, was it arranged by the emperor that you came to see me today?"
Xiao Yuwan frowned slightly: "Are you afraid of the emperor?"
Xiao Yu nodded and said nothing.
Xiao Yuwan said sternly: "Xiao Yu, you take yourself too seriously. His Majesty may think of you occasionally, but most of the time he pays attention to the previous dynasty. Things there have already overwhelmed him. How can he still do it?" Will I think about you fool all day long?"
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just listen to Xiao Yuwan continue to say: "The emperor has a hard time sitting in that position. If he kills you again for no reason, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep at night. He is sick... very sick..."
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes: "What is Sister Huang talking about?"
Xiao Yuwan seemed to be aware of her own gaffe at this time: "No... nothing, hey... what happened to me..."
Xiao Yu seemed to have vaguely felt something strange.
"Sister Huang...Sister Huang, are you trying to help me?"
"I am not helping you, I am here for the emperor, and even more so for my Qianqiu Sheji of Daqi... But if one day, you dare to betray the emperor and my Daqi Sheji, I will definitely not I’ll let you go.”
At this time, Xiao Yuwan's face no longer showed gentleness and intellectuality, but there was a determination to fight with others desperately.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said: "I understand, I promise you will never betray the emperor no matter when and where, let alone my Daqi Sheji."
"Just remember what I said today." After Xiao Yuwan said this, she stood up, "If you can give me this reassurance, my trip will be worthwhile. I wonder if there is anything else Yudi needs me to do. ?”
Xiao Yu bit his lip: "My father...what should I do about my father? Will the emperor let him go?"
"The emperor has restored the title of the three princes. This place will be changed to Jiangxia Prince's Mansion at a later date. However, the three princes will continue to accompany him in the palace to show his favor."
"Then can I go see my father?"
Xiao Yuwan smiled faintly, but she did not answer.
