Feeling the pressure from the top of his head, Wen Yi slightly raised his face that was hit and tilted to one side.

"What's so good about this? My son, don't be fooled by this evil... this kid's appearance..."

"Mother, I just want to know what my brother and I talked about, but why are you so eager to...avoid my questions?"

The cuffs of the dark yellow uniform moved slightly, and a slender hand grabbed Wen Yi's face and looked around.

"My brother, your wound is quite serious. I don't know how it happened. I wonder if there are any other scars on your body."

As he was about to start looking, the woman next to him looked at the two of them with a look of hostility between her brows.

Wen Yi seemed to have seen it, and quickly stepped back, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am fine, I will take my leave..."

As she spoke, her slightly arched body slowly bent, and her lowered head slowly raised. Her pale face was full of sorrow, but she couldn't show it here, so she could only force a smile. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the man in front of her say

"Ayi, you stay in Yunyang Palace for the next few days. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has reported early this morning that the middle of this month is a rare good day, suitable for going to war. I am worried about you going out now, and you are injured, which makes me have to watch you. If something happens to you, the general will be useless. What should I do, right, mother?"

After the man finished speaking, he turned his head slightly and looked at the gloomy face behind him.

"My son, what you said is true. Then... you will stay in the Emperor's Yunyang Palace for the next few days and make preparations with peace of mind. You know..."

The last sound was like a threat, but she forced a smile and looked at him, waving her hand.

"I will take my leave..."

Wen Yi looked at the man in front of him and the woman who looked like she wanted him to die immediately. He really couldn't understand why he was in such a place...

Wen Yi walked out in a daze, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a worried face.

"Ayu"

The moment he saw her, all the strength in Wen Yi's body seemed to be drained away. His knees softened as if he was in another world, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Ayi"

Luan Yu suddenly broke free from the support of the people following her, and fell in front of him, holding Wen Yi's arms with both hands. The two looked at each other in silence.

"My Lord, Miss Luanyu, please don't do this... After all, the Queen Mother doesn't like it very much..."

Eunuch Jiang, who was standing one step away from the two of them, spoke carefully.

Wen Yi had just recovered his strength and stood up with the help of Luan Yu. He bowed to Eunuch Jiang and smiled bleakly at Luan Yu who was supporting him. Then he walked out.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Eunuch Jiang couldn't help but sigh, then he bent down and looked inside...

"Ayi, Auntie, are you...?"

Wen Yi didn't know whether he heard it or not, he just walked slowly, like a walking corpse.

Looking at his expression without hearing his answer, the little girl on the side puffed up her cheeks and said, "Aunt is really something. He is obviously her son, why...why does she treat him like this? This is not partiality..."

The girl stopped talking, not because she knew she couldn't say that, but because the people around her suddenly stopped.

"Ayi...why don't you leave?"

The girl murmured to herself as she looked at him

"Since I was little, she never seemed to smile at me like she did to my brother, as if I was not her son but her enemy. But even so, I always wondered if I had not done something good enough and had not met her requirements. Maybe... maybe one day I... would do as well as my brother... and she might be able to show me what I want... but... that day will never come."

After Wen Yi finished speaking, he slowly turned his head towards the girl. His handsome face was now covered with tears.

"Ayi... don't be like this... Ayi"

The girl hugged him and patted his back gently.

"I know she has never liked me...but I didn't expect that she actually wanted me to die...Am I not the child of my father and mother? Why doesn't she like me, Ayu..."

A warm tear ran down his cheek and fell into the girl's neck. It felt hot and moist.

"Ayi, even though I don't know either... I will always be by your side, and I will always, always protect you..."

The girl's voice floated softly into Wen Yi's ears. Although it was not loud, it was very heartwarming.

After a while, Luan Yu let go of Wen Yi's hand and looked at him with burning eyes.

"Ayi, I want to marry you"

Wen Yi paused, looking at her with an indescribable emotion in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly said, "Are you serious?"

Although Luan Yu didn't expect him to ask this question, he still nodded seriously.

Wen Yi pointed at himself and said, "I am not a good destination. It is possible that at any time..."

Luan Yu covered his mouth all of a sudden, looking at him steadily, "I don't care what you look like, I only care whether you are Wen Yi. I only like the person who fanned me on summer nights and the Wen Yi who covered my hands on winter days. If the person I want to marry is not you, I would rather bind my hair and become a nun than marry anyone else..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Yi, who was standing in the same place, hugged the girl, looked at her with a firm gaze, and swore, "I, Wen Yi, swear here that if I ever let Luan Yu down in this life, I will be struck by lightning and die without a burial place."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a small hand covering his mouth, and his little face was raised in reproach. At this moment, the sunlight just passed through the gap in the corridor, covering the two of them, shining with golden light. If someone passed by, they would praise them: What a golden boy and jade girl...

As time passed, the sun slowly set in the west, and the hall that had been bright for a moment was now dark again. However, in an instant, light and shadow appeared above the hall again.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has returned safely to Yunyang Palace."

The eunuch who came into the palace from outside in the snow and wind answered carefully.

"That evil creature is also here?"

"This... should be here... but I didn't see it..."

The eunuch answered tremblingly.

"That's right. After all, he was left behind by our Majesty himself. You said that it was because His Majesty thought I would hurt him that..."

The woman was halfway through her speech when she looked askance at the young eunuch below her.

"My queen... this"

The young eunuch fell to his knees in fear, his body trembling.

"Why are you so nervous? I won't do anything to you..."

Before he finished speaking, a black mist suddenly appeared where the young eunuch was kneeling, covering him. Not long after, a scream was heard from the spot. After a moment, a slender figure in a black cloak stood where the black mist dissipated.

"Too vulgar, it has been like this for many years, it is really impossible to teach it"

Before the woman finished speaking, she saw her slender figure slowly turning around and leaving.

"Did I let you go?"

An invisible shadow flew towards "her", and the originally upright figure was instantly split into two halves.

One of the remaining servants in the hall couldn't help but scream, and the next second, blood splattered on the spot.

"It's so boring. It's always like this. You're going to dirty my place. Remember, I didn't raise you for nothing. If you can't do what I say or ask you to do, you know the consequences..."

The woman stretched out her armor-free hand, which was slender without any trace of erosion by time, and shone brightly under the flickering candlelight.
