Since Cheng Yu left, Du Yan said that he has been ill for several months.

Although Du Yan succeeded in making Yuan Wang think that Cheng Guo's proton escaped, it was all due to Mrs. Hui and Yuan Jue's reckless actions.However, the original king did not demote them to ordinary people in the end, but only imprisoned them in the palace. It can be seen that the original king still has some sincerity towards Mrs. Hui.

Now he is holding back, but the alliance between Jiang and Cheng is quite threatening, and the general guarding the frontier is an indispensable person.When the frontier is stabilized, Du Yan, who is involved in this matter, may be pulled out as a scapegoat.

Of course Du Yan would not give the original king this chance, now that the situation is stable, he should go out of the palace for a stroll.Otherwise, when Cheng Yu's secret envoy arrives in the capital, it will be difficult to contact him.

So, he chose a good day to go out for a stroll, just to see if he could catch a big fish.The only variable is that Yuan Ning also followed. She was worried about her elder sister's body that had just recovered, so she volunteered to follow.

Du Yan, who brought the maid with him, didn't think that this delicate little sister could take care of him, but it was nice to have someone to chat with when going out to relieve boredom.

Du Yan and Yuan Ning were sitting on top of the restaurant, seeing the scene of singing and dancing below, it had been a long time since they saw this bustling crowd, it was a bit of a novelty after a long absence.

Yuan Ning saw that Du Yan was watching intently, and said, "Sister, you haven't come out for a while. Not long ago, the streets were sparsely populated, and the doors and windows of every house were closed. I'm afraid that Jiang Cheng and the two kingdoms will come to the capital in the blink of an eye."

Du Yan said: "Some time ago, it happened to be the time when my grandfather returned to the capital from the frontier, right?"

"Yes." Yuan Ning nodded, "Gong Ziyu, no, now he should be honored as King Cheng. King Cheng is too unkind. After ascending the throne, he announced to the world that he was bullied in the Yuan country, and sister treated him so well." .”

Du Yan glanced at her in disbelief: "How did you know that I treat him well?"

"Sister, you just like duplicity."

Yuan Ning looked over unconvinced, and then counted each piece with his fingers: "Don't allow Yuan Jue to bully Cheng Wang, take Cheng Wang to the palace, take him to practice martial arts, and take him to eat, drink and have fun in the capital..."

After talking about a few things, Yuan Ning almost felt that his fingers were not enough: "I sometimes feel jealous, my sister cares more about him than me."

"..." Du Yan didn't know how to refute for a while.The scheming tricks and the shocking secrets hidden here can't be told to the simple Yuan Ning now.

He was silent for a moment, and choked out a sentence: "I just use Cheng Yu as a servant. He does things according to my wishes, so I'm used to bringing him with me."

Du Yan saw that Yuan Ning was still not convinced, so he decided to give her some advice. After all, Yuan Cheng and the two countries were going to fight.

Cheng Yu is an enemy to the Yuan people.

"When he was in the original country, he did not have to worry about food and clothing, but there is a saying that a scholar can be killed but not humiliated." Du Yan said, "After Cheng Yu ascended the throne, recalling what happened back then, the king of a country did everything he could to serve as a servant. , I feel that I have been humiliated."

"Combining all kinds of considerations, it is not unreasonable for him to tear up the covenant and form an alliance with Jiang after returning home."

Yuan Ning nodded at first, but then felt that something was wrong: "But, I think King Cheng did those things to my sister willingly. When I heard that Gong Ziyu became king, I always thought he would prepare a dowry to ask for it." Marry my sister!"

If it wasn't for this dream world with an ancient background, Du Yan really wanted to throw a black question mark emoji pack at Yuan Ning.

He suddenly understood that in the original plot of the movie, why Yuan Ning was put into such a miserable situation by Cheng Yu, it was really too simple.It's as simple as going to the wrong set, and the heroine of a romantic drama running into a historical conspiracy movie is simply seeking her own death.

Seeing Du Yan looking over with an indescribable expression, Yuan Ning felt something was wrong: "I, did I say something wrong?"

Du Yan squeezed his brows: "Not to mention that the king will never agree to the marriage proposal, even Cheng Yu, if he married back a person who had humiliated him for ten years, would he be able to get along with him or was he going to use this kind of low-class person to marry him back?" How about revenge?"

"..." Yuan Ning fell silent. Although she knew that what Ajie said was very reasonable, she also felt that her feelings were not wrong.

Yuan Ning looked at her sister's nostalgic eyes when she mentioned becoming a king, and became more and more sure of a fact.Although my elder sister is extremely intelligent, she seems to be very slow when it comes to emotional matters.

Seeing Yuan Ning's expression of thinking, Du Yan felt that the purpose of these words had been achieved, so he didn't say any more.

He beckoned and asked Xiao Man to order Xiao Er to bring more tea.

After a while, Xiao Er came upstairs with tea, and when he got to the window, he accidentally slipped his foot.

The tray was overturned on the ground, but fortunately there were still a few steps away from Du Yan and Yuan Ning, and the splashed tea did not affect them.

"My lord, please forgive me, the little one will be cleaned up right away." Xiao Er repeatedly bowed and saluted.

Although Du Yan was unruly and domineering in the palace, he actually bullied the children of nobles. When he went out, he rarely made things difficult for these ordinary people.

Seeing this, Du Yan just waved his hand slightly, signaling him to clean up quickly.

Not long after Xiao Er finished packing and left, the shopkeeper of the restaurant was about to come up again.

The shopkeeper held a stack of pastries in his hand, with an apologetic face on his face: "My lord, I'm really sorry about what happened just now. Today this table is mine. This pastry is our newly developed signature, as an apology."

Du Yan looked at the plate of pastries, and his brows twitched almost invisibly: "It's okay, let's put the pastries down."

The shopkeeper put down the pastry, saluted and then stepped back.

Seeing that the pastry was exquisitely made, Yuan Ning was delighted to see Lie Xin, so he reached out to grab the one with the most unique shape on the top.She didn't want to be robbed halfway when her fingers touched the pastry.

Du Yan held the cake and smiled at her: "I really like this one, Ning'er, try the others."

Yuan Ning didn't care, wrinkled his nose, and went to get another piece.

Du Yan put the pastry into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and found a foreign object. He picked up the teacup and covered his mouth with his sleeve as if drinking tea, but secretly spit the foreign object into his palm.

Just now when the shopkeeper put down the pastry, Du Yan noticed something different, because he had eaten the unique pastry above.It was made for Cheng Yu when he was still in the palace.The molds for making pastries are also made by Cheng Yu himself, which is unique.

After returning to the palace, Du Yan took out what had been hidden in his palm.It was a slender jade bottle as thick as a little finger, just the right size to be hidden in a pastry.

Du Yan took out the note from the jade bottle, and the content on it was exactly the same as he had guessed.

"Tomorrow at noon, Jucai Building Tianyi Pavilion."

The next day, Du Yan arrived as scheduled.

In fact, Jucai Building is already Cheng Yu's property, he didn't even try to hide it from Du Yan, he told all about it from the very beginning.Du Yan only thought that he was seeking his own asylum to avoid the troubles caused by the leak.

Tianyi Pavilion is Du Yan's exclusive room every time he comes to Jucai Building, and the interior settings are all arranged according to Du Yan's preferences.

"You go out, I want to wait by myself." Du Yan asked the people behind him to wait at the door.

After a while, seeing that the situation was the same, Du Yan got up and walked to the decorative shelf in the room.He stretched out his hand to break it lightly, and a secret door appeared behind it, revealing the secret room behind the shelf.

Du Yan had already expected that there were people in the secret room.What he never expected was the identity of the person inside.

"Cheng Yu? How could it be you?"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, stepped forward and closed the door of the secret room: "Why can't it be me?"

"As the king of a country, you have sneaked into the capital of an enemy country. I don't know whether to praise you for being brave or call you reckless."

"Sit." Cheng Yu led Du Yan aside to sit down, then raised his hand to make tea for Du Yan.

Du Yan looked down at the tea in front of him: "You are a king, so you don't have to do things like serve me tea and water."

But Cheng Yu said: "Princess, you can still call me Cheng Yu. In front of you, I will always be Cheng Yu."

Du Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, Cheng Yu didn't call himself "Gu" in front of him, but called himself "I".It seems that he can be an emperor, he is really broad-minded, and he doesn't care about the past.

Du Yan didn't bother him either, and said, "Cheng Yu, why are you here?"

"Naturally, to show sincerity, the princess is waiting for me, right?"

Du Yan always felt that what he said was strange: "That's right, but you can send secret envoys here, why take such a risk yourself."

"You and I are going to plan a big event together, and the time is tight, just a mere secret envoy, not enough to show my sincerity."

"Big event?" Du Yan said, "Let's hear it, your guess about what's in my heart."

Cheng Yu knew that Du Yan never liked to beat around the bush, so he said bluntly: "Although the crisis of the Wu family is temporarily relieved, the original king is a narrow-minded person, and one day he will attack the Wu family. If the Wu family wants to protect itself, there are only two things. There is a way to go."

"One is to support the queen's son from the Wu family to become king." Cheng Yu paused, "It's a pity that the queen only gave birth to two daughters, so this way will not work. Princess, am I right?"

Du Yan was noncommittal: "Continue."

Cheng Yu said: "Then there is only another way to replace it. However, it is not easy to change the kingship. Although the Wu family holds half of the military power in the Yuan country, it has no name. Unfamiliar with the words. At this time, some external forces are needed to intervene."

Du Yan's heart moved, and what Cheng Yu thought was exactly the same as what he predicted.Without knowing that he is a man, it is reasonable for Cheng Yu to make such a guess.

It would be the best policy for the two parties to form an alliance without revealing their identities for the time being.After all, restoring one's identity is of great importance, and the best time is after the general situation of the original country is settled, not now.

Du Yan said: "Then why should I trust you? Even if the Wu family can change the country's surname to Wu, after all, the dynasty will change and there will be turmoil. Then it's time for you to take advantage of the situation."

Cheng Yu was not annoyed by Du Yan's suspicion, "I have a way to prove my sincerity."

"How?"

"As I said just now, I came here with sincerity."

Cheng Yu took out a piece of pendant jade from the lapel of his shirt, it was exactly the piece of jade that Du Yan used as a token back then.

He put Peiyu on the table and pushed it towards Du Yan: "Throw me a papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. The bandit repays it, and it will always be good. As a promise of marriage, I would like to marry the princess of the original country. Yu is in power." During this period, there will never be any war with Yuan Country.”

"Marriage? Do you want to marry Yuan Ning?" Du Yan's voice raised slightly, struggling to his death.

Cheng Yu was slightly taken aback, couldn't help laughing, covered his face and smiled for a while before raising his head: "Princess, why do you think so, from the beginning to the end, you are the only one I want to marry."

"..."

As soon as the words were uttered, Du Yan's ears were as shocked as stone.
