Chapter 83 Graffiti Painting Skills
Yan Shixu looked at Zhang Sicheng.
"How do you know I'm in danger?"
Zhang Sicheng explained, "I destroyed a stronghold of Xiyu spies and learned they had sent assassins to kill Your Highness, so I immediately brought people here."
Yan Shixu used the sword in his hand to lift the black scarves off the faces of several men in black.
Indeed, these people's facial features do not indicate they are from Dayan.
Yan Shixu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed across his eyes.
Xiyu and Dayan were equal states and had kept to themselves for many years.
Xiyu is now taking the initiative to provoke Dayan, probably because he has learned that the emperor of Dayan is ill and the prince is acting as the governor of the country.
If the Western Yu Kingdom kills him, the court of Dayan will surely be in turmoil.
He took the opportunity to launch a war, attack Dayan and seize the city.
It’s beautiful to think about the truth.
In this case, he should also give Xiyu a big gift.
Yan Shixu looked at Luo Yunzhen and Su Muyang.
The two men immediately understood, led their horses over, and wanted to go back to the East Palace with him.
As for Yan Shicheng, when he saw that the men in black had been captured, his legs went weak and he almost fell off his horse.
Yan Shixu quickly supported him and asked with concern, "Third brother, are you injured?"
Yan Shicheng shook his head, a lingering fear in his heart: "I... I'm fine, just a little scared."
This is understandable. After all, it is the first time you encounter such a thing, so it is normal to be afraid.
Yan Shixu patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "If they dare to come to my Great Yan to kill people, we can just kill them back. What's there to be afraid of?"
Luo Yunzhen and Su Muyang also looked at Yan Shicheng at the same time, with teasing smiles on their faces.
That look seemed to be saying: Who was the person who swore before that he didn't need their care?
Yan Shicheng blushed and couldn't help but puff out his chest, pretending that he was not afraid at all.
After the two returned to the palace, Yan Shicheng said goodbye to Yan Shixu and hurried back to his own palace.
Yan Shixu took Luo Yunzhen and Su Muyang back to the East Palace.
Half an hour later, both of them looked at Yan Shixu in shock.
"Your Highness, are we really going to do this?"
Yan Shixu nodded: "It is impolite not to return the favor."
Luo Yunzhen nodded. "Your Highness is right. Xiyu has come to our doorstep. Since they dared to assassinate you, they must pay the price. If we don't act to intimidate them, the Xiyu royal family will think they are afraid of us!"
Su Muyang: "Well, I think what Lao Zhen said is right. Then we will lead our men westward today."
Yan Shixu nodded and gave a few more instructions, asking them to be careful in their actions.
"I understand. Your Highness, don't worry."
The two said goodbye to him and left in a hurry.
Zhang Sicheng looked at the two people's backs as they left, then turned and asked Yan Shixu.
"Your Highness, should this matter be reported to the Emperor?"
Yan Shixu said "hmm" and naturally reported it.
Even if he didn't say it, his father would find out from Yang Guifei.
Arrived at the Yangxin Palace.
Yan Shixu discovered that his father's complexion had indeed improved a lot.
Even the originally cloudy and dim eyes had a layer of light.
But for some reason, he always felt that the recovery from this illness was not normal.
He wanted to give some advice.
"Father, your health has been being treated by Court Judge He. It's a little slow, but it's the gentlest method and won't hurt your body as much. You..."
"alright."
The emperor interrupted him, his face displeased.
Thinking of something, his eyes fell on Yan Shixu's face.
He wondered in his heart whether the prince hoped that he would recover slowly so that he could continue to run the government.
Yan Shixu knew his father, the emperor, not completely, but at least he knew about 80% of him.
Meeting his scrutinizing gaze, Yan Shixu's face darkened slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"Father, today I went hunting with my third brother outside the capital and encountered an assassination attempt by people from the Western Yu Kingdom."
The emperor was surprised.
"Xiyu and my Great Yan haven't been at war for many years. Why would they send someone to assassinate you today?"
Yan Shixu shook his head. Naturally, he did not tell his father about his conjectures and inferences. He just said that he didn't know.
He also did not mention the fact that he sent Luo Yunzhen and Su Muyang to lead people to assassinate the crown prince of Xiyu Kingdom.
Mainly, he was worried that once his father found out, the matter would become more complicated.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow morning at court, you will discuss with the civil and military ministers how to deal with this matter. I am tired."
Yan Shixu was not surprised at this reply.
He bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, please rest early. I will take my leave."
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Yan Shixu went to the Cining Palace again.
When he returned to Yuqing Palace, Yongtai presented a letter to him.
"Your Highness, Wen Fengyi has written to you again."
Yan Shixu reached out to take it, and felt that the thickness of the letter was thicker than any previous time.
A smile appeared in his eyes and he took the letter into the bedroom.
Inside the envelope were three folded sheets of rice paper.
One is a painting by Wen Lier.
A piece of paper with densely written words.
There is another one with the content of the letter.
The letter said that she had dreamed of a warm scene of them holding their child a few days ago.
As soon as she woke up, she drew the scene and sent it to him for him to take a look.
Then, there's another thing.
When she had nothing to do these days, she thought of dozens of names for her child and asked if she could choose the child's nickname on this piece of rice paper.
Yan Shixu curiously unfolded the painting she mentioned.
When he saw her childlike graffiti skills, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
In the painting, we can see there are three people, two adults and one child.
The child's facial features are relatively clear.
If you ignore the fact that one eye is bigger than the other and the nose is bigger than the mouth, you can call it funny and cute.
The other two adults, one tall and one short, can be seen to be a man and a woman.
The man was wearing a black cloak, a sword at his waist, and a pear-shaped jade pendant.
The woman was wearing a green skirt and had a pear blossom in her hair.
It’s just that the facial features and bodies of these two people are a bit abstract.
It is so abstract that the eyes, nose and mouth seem to be flying into the sky.
The woman held the child and handed it to the man. The man lowered his eyes to look at the child and reached out to take it.
Judging from the man's impatient twisted posture, he must be very fond of children.
The woman stood in front of the man with her bloody mouth wide open.
The eyes disappeared from his smile, leaving only a mouth and the only neatly painted tooth inside.
Yan Shixu fell into deep thought for a moment.
He couldn't understand how this little Fengyi dared to put such a painting in front of him.
Yongtai was puzzled, wondering why his master suddenly became dazed.
He poured a pot of tea and handed it over, and couldn't help but glance at the letter in the prince's hand.
When he saw this, his hand trembled and some tea spilled to the side.
The teacup almost slipped from his hand, but he forcefully pulled it back.
The bottom of the cup collided with the desk, making a slight impact sound.
Yan Shixu glanced at him sideways.
Yongtai hurriedly wiped the water stains on the desk with his sleeves and apologized repeatedly.
