Chapter 99: Black and White
Yan Shixu still had to deal with government affairs in the afternoon, and before he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.
Seeing that he had walked to the door and then turned back, Wen Li'er was puzzled.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Even the little owl in her arms looked at him curiously with its round eyes.
That look seemed to say, "Why don't you leave?"
Yan Shixu ignored his son's disdainful look and looked at Wen Li'er.
"Have you read the letter? What's in the purse your brother gave you?"
This question made Wen Lier stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness, didn't you see it?"
After all, they were letters and items sent to the Eastern Palace, and they passed through the hands of His Highness.
She thought he had already seen it.
Yan Shixu shook his head: "That was given to you by your parents and brother. What do I need to do with it?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't leave, but stood there looking at her.
Those dark, bright eyes said: Let me see...
Seeing that he was simply curious, Wen Li'er quickly took out an exquisite pear-shaped seal from her neck and handed it to him.
"This is it, carved by my brother himself."
Yan Shixu saw the shape of the seal and said teasingly, "It seems that in your brother's eyes, you are nothing but a fat pear."
Wen Li'er blushed a little and said shyly, "That was when I was fat as a child. Now..."
At this point, she suddenly paused.
It seems, as if, probably...she is quite fat now?
Yan Shixu looked at her figure, then looked at the pear-shaped seal in his hand and nodded.
"Your brother's carving is quite similar, but this seal is a little thinner than yours."
Wen Lier: "..."
She decided that after her confinement period, she would become as thin as a bolt of lightning and blind His Highness!
In her resentful gaze, Yan Shixu had already seen the bottom of the seal.
Um?
"Your father's nickname contains the word 'cow'? Old Cow? Little Cow? Big Cow?"
Wen Lier: "..."
She swallowed hard, unable to imagine His Highness suddenly shouting "Niu" when he saw his father one day.
It seems that she has to defend her father's tall and mighty image.
Wen Li'er shook her head decisively: "No, it's just a cow pattern, it has nothing to do with my father's nickname!"
Seeing how she tried so hard to conceal herself, and thinking of Minister Wen's serious and formal face, the smile in Yan Shixu's eyes became even more pronounced.
Wen Li'er urged: "Your Highness, don't you still have to deal with government affairs? If you don't go now, it will be too late!"
Yan Shixu returned the seal to her, put his hands behind his back and left leisurely.
Before leaving, Youyou said, "If you want to write them a reply, let Zhang Sicheng deliver it to you."
Wen Li'er's eyes were filled with intense surprise.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After Yan Shixu walked away, she urged Qingmei Qingzhu beside her: "Hurry up, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me."
Seeing that she was so excited that she wanted to jump up, Nanny Qin smacked her lips.
The master has just started her confinement period and has experienced extreme sorrow and joy. I don’t know if it will have any impact on her body. I should call a royal physician to take a look later.
But she could actually understand her master's feelings.
For anyone who has been out of touch with his family for two years and suddenly can communicate again, it would naturally be a huge surprise.
Soon, the pages of rice paper on the small table in front of Wen Li'er became fewer and fewer.
Two whole years of longing and nostalgia filled twenty sheets of rice paper.
If her wrist hadn't started to hurt, she felt she could have continued writing.
Nanny Qin advised, "Master, since His Highness has asked Zhang Weiwei to deliver the message for you, it means there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You've written enough today. Take a rest and write next time!"
Wen Li'er thought about it and asked someone to prepare ink.
Then he used his seal to stamp the lower right corner of the rice paper, making sure not to miss a single one.
After all the rice paper was dry, she folded it up and put it into three envelopes.
Worried that her parents and brother would read the letters in the wrong order, she thoughtfully marked one, two, and three on the envelopes.
"Alright! Have Wanquan take it to Yuqing Palace and hand it over to His Highness."
"Yes, Master."
…
On the other side, not long after Yan Shixu returned to Yuqing Palace, the eunuch came to report that someone was visiting.
He frowned and glanced at the eunuch.
Yongtai was very panicked.
He walked up to the eunuch and lowered his voice to scold him, "You just passed the message, but why didn't you tell me who the visitor is? I think your head is about to be cooked!"
The eunuch shrank his neck and hurriedly explained, "General Luo and Master Su told me not to tell you..."
Yongtai was stunned and looked at the prince behind the desk.
Yan Shixu was also surprised: "They are back? Please invite them in."
Soon, two tall and straight figures strode into the study.
Yan Shixu looked the two of them up and down, and seeing that they didn't look like they were in trouble, he finally put his mind at ease.
"I sent you letters later, but you didn't reply. I thought something happened to you."
He had even chosen the people to rescue him.
Su Muyang waved his hands, his nose raised in pride.
"It's nothing serious. After we killed the crown prince of Xiyu, we were pursued by a large number of troops. We retreated all the way back to Dayan and were in a hurry to return to the capital, so we didn't have time to reply."
Yan Shixu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really killed? Are you injured?"
Su Muyang and Luo Yunzhen had already walked in front of Yan Shixu at this time, and Yongtai personally carried chairs over to them.
Su Muyang did not sit down, but began to describe the assassination with gestures and excitement.
"Even with the Black and White Devils attacking, what else do you have to worry about? I knocked that Xiyu Crown Prince off his horse with a single strike of my sword. In just a few quick blows, I made him cry out for his parents and kowtow for mercy. Lao Luo then added two more strikes from behind, and he was completely dead!"
Luo Yunzhen's mouth twitched wildly when he heard this, and he looked at him with an indescribable expression.
This guy always confuses right and wrong and reports things the other way around.
He was too lazy to expose him.
In the capital, probably everyone knows the name of the Black and White Devils.
The main reason is that Su Muyang and Luo Yunzhen grew up together.
One only wears black clothes, the other only wears white clothes, and they act cruelly. They are famous devils in the capital.
He was fearless and when he first met the prince, he looked him up and down and said two words lightly:
——Weakling——
As a result, Yan Shixu immediately drew the sword from his waist and hung the two men up and beat them up.
The two men cried for their parents and knelt down to beg for mercy, and only then did Yan Shixu let them go.
Later, the fate of these three people gradually developed in an indescribable direction.
The Black and White Evils, who were feared by the people of the capital, began to pester Yan Shixu, wanting to recognize him as their boss.
Later, when they heard that Yan Shixu was looking for a study partner, the two of them overcame all obstacles and successfully came to Yan Shixu's side.
Yan Shixu saw that apart from being impulsive and prone to causing trouble, the two men were also quite smart, so he kept them by his side.
Over the years, they have grown into his right-hand men.
Except... Su Muyang's character of confusing right and wrong can't be changed no matter what.
Listen to him describe with gestures and excitement how they assassinated the Prince of Xiyu, how they were hunted all the way, and then how they successfully returned to Dayan.
The corners of Yan Shixu's mouth also twitched slightly.
He naturally knew Su Muyang's temperament. This guy would hardly take action unless it was a crisis.
And I really like... to finish off the opponent from behind.
So, just listen to their stories in reverse.
