He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

That night, Zhao Yang and Tan Yu disappeared during an attack by an unknown force.

Qu Yi lowered her eyelids slightly. A few days ago, she learned that Tan Yu was the only bloodline of Prince Rui who had been separated from his family.

The current situation in the imperial court is chaotic.

Prince Rui's rebellion was about to succeed, so why would he send someone to look for Tan Yu?

This is quite strange.

Why did they take Zhao Yang with them, even though they only took Tan Yu?

Just as he was pondering this, Wei An's voice rang out beside him.

"There's no need to worry too much, Brother Zhao will be safe and sound."

"No worries."

Zhao Yang was no ordinary farmer; with his abilities, he was more than capable of protecting himself.

Wei An stood there, watching Qu Yi's departing figure with a complicated expression.

A mountain peak on the northwest side of Qingfeng Mountain, halfway up the mountain is shrouded in a layer of clouds and mist, and when the wind blows and the clouds move, the roof covered with blue tiles is revealed.

Zhao Yang was dressed in a black brocade robe. A small white bird flew down to his arm and he took the paper tied to its leg.

Open it and take a look.

His face immediately darkened.

【none】

Just one word.

She was actually not worried about him at all!

"Young Master Zhao, please grant me an audience with my lord."

The servant whispered behind him.

The courtyard is small, but its charm lies in its tranquil environment.

A servant pushed open a door, and Zhao Yang stepped inside.

A large bamboo screen stood in front of the bed, blocking out everything on the other side. Zhao Yang could only see two blurry figures.

One of them was standing, gently moving a fan in his hand.

The other person sat on the edge of the bed, with an upright posture.

No one spoke in the room until the other person finally made a sound.

"Take the screen away, it's not like we haven't seen it before." The man's voice was deep, but somewhat weak.

"Yes."

The servant put down his fan and pulled back the screen.

This wasn't the first time Zhao Yang had met a man. The first time was a few days ago when he went to Manxianglou with some food. He hadn't gone far when he was stopped and told that their master wanted to see him.

He had a premonition that he would meet someone he knew before.

But to his surprise, although he knew this person, he had never met him before.

No, to be precise, I saw him, I saw his body.

After a short while, Zhao Yang emerged from the house, his steps steady.

In his previous life, when he was still on the border, he heard that Prince Rui was suspected of plotting a rebellion. He was summoned to lead his troops back to the palace. On the way, he heard that the emperor had died and Prince Rui had forced the emperor to abdicate. However, before he could ascend the throne, Prince Rui died of poison. Several forces began to search for Tan Yu, and in the end, Tan Yu also died.

He originally thought that Tan Yu was found by the Prime Minister, but it turned out that it was Prince Rui who took the initiative to find him. Moreover, Prince Rui already knew that he had been poisoned and would not live much longer.

Zhao Yang could guess the purpose of his search for Tan Yu.

Prince Rui was the only prince of a different surname, and had no blood relation with the late emperor. The late emperor was incompetent and tyrannical, and Prince Rui's betrothed was directly abducted to the palace by the late emperor.

That woman was also a woman of strong character; she smashed her head against the Mingcui Palace and died.

Prince Rui truly hated the emperor. After taking his head with a single stroke, he slaughtered all his bloodline and confidants.

That day, blood flowed like a river in the palace.

He probably thought that he would not allow the late emperor's bloodline to inherit the throne, so after learning that he was about to die, he began to do everything he could to find Tan Yu.

a few days later.

Night replaced the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sky gradually darkened.

Zhao Yang waited for a while but the messenger bird didn't appear, so he turned around and went inside.

Before falling asleep, he heard a noise outside. He opened the door, and his wary expression froze when he saw the person standing in the yard.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Qu Yi walked over in a few steps: "Are you mute?"

Zhao Yang: "No."

Qu Yi scrutinized his face: "Looks like you're doing quite well."

Zhao Yang quickly explained, "I didn't mean to lie to you, it's just..."

what is it then?

His eyelids were lowered, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be elongated, making his eyes appear even narrower.

I just wanted to see how she would react.

"Zhao Yang, I'm not happy," Qu Yi said.

"...why?"

"What do you say?"

Zhao Yang remained silent for a moment, then pressed his thin lips together: "It was my fault."

"Next time you're going to do something, just let me know in advance. If we hadn't intercepted that bird, I wouldn't have known what you were planning."

Zhao Yang: "The carrier bird is in your hands?"

Qu Yi raised her hand, and Zhao Yang then realized that he had been ignoring what she was holding: a small white bird.

No wonder I didn't see her today; she'd taken her away.
