[Chapter 196 Chapter 196 Empress (Extra 1)]
Yan Qing had just returned from the palace when he saw more than a dozen luxurious carriages parked in front of the door.
Servants were constantly coming in and out, carrying various boxes and furniture into the mansion.
From large items like the sandalwood beauty couch and the twelve-panel huanghuali moon-shaped carved screen, to small items like the hollow incense burner stand with a hundred cranes coiled around a pine tree and inlaid with gold.
There is also a warm jade bed.
She paused, and couldn't help but suspect that the man Helian Muye had moved his own palace here.
"Your Highness is back." The one who saluted her was Ah Mei who had "come back from the dead".
In addition to A-Mei, several second-class maids brought from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion are now on duty in the Princess's Mansion.
It is so easy to use that I don’t want to change it.
Ah Mei looked a little strange, and after thinking carefully, she spoke hesitantly: "Prince Helian and the former Prime Minister were confronting each other in the front hall, and the young general was accidentally injured."
Yan Qing's eyebrows twitched slightly, this amount of information seemed a bit too much.
Ah Mei coughed lightly and briefly summarized the cause and effect of the matter.
In short, Helian Muye moved into the mansion openly, accepted the kind reception of Han Sheng, who was in charge of all matters of the princess's mansion, and asked someone to boil a pot of Tianshan Biluochun.
Xu Wenjian rushed back home. He couldn't stand Helian Muye's arrogant face and said bluntly that he was not worthy of the good tea in the mansion.
He poured the tea into his stomach and went to the toilet several times.
"You go and do your work." Yan Qing nodded slightly.
When she arrived at the front hall, Han Sheng and Helian Muye were sitting opposite each other.
A man in a green robe and a jade crown sat upright.
The one with lazy eyes and untidy features.
It seemed as if an invisible aura spread out from the two of them, creating invisible smoke.
I didn't see Xu Wenzhang, so I guess he was still squatting in the toilet.
"Your Highness." Han Sheng stood up, and his cold and elegant face was suddenly covered with a warm light.
A gentleman is modest and gentle like a green mountain.
Yan Qing glanced at him, and they smiled at each other, with a tacit understanding flowing between them.
Helian Muye, who was ignored, put away his crossed legs after she came in. Noticing that he was being ignored, he coughed a few times.
This attracted Yan Qing's attention, and he raised his eyes listlessly: "Sorry, my old illness has come back."
He had dark black hair, so he took a bunch of them on each side of his back and fastened them with silver buckles, and let the rest hang loosely behind his shoulders.
The sparkling peach blossom eyes and pale expression gave off a sense of pity, and the body sitting crookedly against the table also showed a sense of weakness.
Apart from anything else, this beautiful face of a sick beauty is really good for fighting.
"Your Highness, long time no see." There was a hint of emotion in the last syllable of his voice.
Yue Yue looked at her with half-closed eyes, letting his joy run wild on her exquisite and beautiful face.
Create the ambiguity of old lovers reuniting.
Helian Muye supported his head with one hand and tilted his head slightly to look at Yan Qing, showing the best angle of his profile.
It was the first time he saw Yan Qing wearing court robes.
In front of the bright red gold-woven long coat, there is a four-clawed flying python surrounded by brocade with its eyes wide open. The glittering horse-faced skirt looks like a golden phoenix flying as she walks.
The woman's pretty face has a majestic look to it, which makes people feel distracted.
He wanted to reach out and tear off the jade belt around her waist immediately.
Yan Qing's face was calm, and his voice was even without any ups and downs: "The Regent King of You Country has come to visit us. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."
The tone of greeting was neither too warm nor too cold, and the tense expression showed no sign of being relaxed and at ease when facing another man.
His peach blossom eyes darkened, Helian Muye covered his lips with his hand, and coughed twice: "It is a great honor to see the princess again, how can I say 'forgiveness'."
After Yan Qing took the main seat, Han Sheng chuckled, "I'll go see Shao You first."
The identities of Yan Qing and Helian Muye represent the positions of the two countries even if they meet in private.
He is no longer a court official and has no right to interfere with their conversation.
He was in Kyoto before and did not participate in the affairs of the border areas, but he knew from Shaoyou's boasting that he and Yan Qing had gone to Youguo together to help the ninth prince seize the throne.
Helian Muye is as cunning as a fox, and the look in his eyes when he looks at Aqing is not innocent.
He was willing to give up the throne and travel thousands of miles to live in the princess's mansion under the guise of an alliance between the two countries.
The purpose is obvious.
Being able to recognize a love rival in seconds seems to be a man's innate radar. Han Sheng walked out of the hall slowly, his brows furrowed as if he was faced with a difficult problem.
The maid waiting at the door retreated with him, leaving only Yan Qing and Helian Muye in the hall.
"I wonder why Emperor Xuanyou came to Dayan?" She picked up the tea and blew on it, then casually pinched the lid of the cup to push away the floating tea foam.
Helian Chang, that idiot who was recommended by his mother's family, wanted to seize the throne through a deal with Chen Yanshu.
Instead, they took advantage of the situation and helped Helian Muye ascend to the throne.
She didn't think that a person who had spent years planning and ultimately killed the king to seize the throne would give up the power so easily.
But this man just did such an unreasonable thing.
The intention of this move needs to be carefully considered.
Anyway, no matter what his plan is, the one with the strongest country will have the most say.
At worst, she could lead her troops to Youdu.
She could remember clearly some of the city defense routes of You Kingdom.
Helian Muye skillfully held her heart and said, "The princess's estrangement is really sad and distressing."
Yan Qing's sharp eyes saw through his disguised frivolity and put down the teacup with a little force, causing the porcelain cup to make a dull sound when it hit the table.
She frowned and said, "Why not speak frankly?"
We are old acquaintances who know each other well, so there is no need to pretend.
Helian Muye chuckled: "This king came to Youguo to make peace with the princess and seek prosperity for both countries."
"Heh." Yan Qing sneered, "Since you and I don't agree on anything, there's no need to continue chatting."
Seeing that she was still very cold, the man felt a little choked up.
Putting away his casual attitude, he said seriously: "The high position of imperial power is hard to obtain, and I am unwilling to give it up easily."
"But I'm afraid that I may have the chance to sit on the supreme seat, but not the chance to enjoy it."
He coughed several times in succession, took out a handkerchief from his bosom and covered the corners of his mouth. When he looked up, the handkerchief was stained with blood.
Yan Qing's face was solemn: "The prince's body is poisoned and he is born with deficiencies. If you want to cure the disease, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
He said hurtful words without hesitation, coldly cutting off his hope of recovery.
Helian Muye's face was pale, and a weak smile curved his lips: "If even His Highness who can cure the epidemic can't do it, who in the world can save me?"
Seeing Yan Qing's thoughtful expression, he continued, "Part of the medical fee has been sent to the treasury in the mansion. Your Highness, you can ask someone to count it."
"Deal." Yan Qing raised the teacup to him, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Helian Muye stared at the drop of water that passed across her fair neck, licked his dry lips, then lowered his eyes and poured the tea into his mouth.
Yan Qing put down the teacup: "Your Majesty, please have a good rest in the mansion."
After saying a few polite words, she stood up and was about to leave.
Dayan was in a period of reconstruction and it was natural for her to refuse the man's gifts of money and treasures.
He lived in the mansion, just as if he were a hostage.
What's more, they also have business where payment is made in exchange for goods.
With her combined medical skills from two eras, it is not impossible for her to treat Helian Muye's fetal weakness.
"Since we are partners, Aqing, you might as well call me Muye." Helian Muye smiled as if in the spring breeze and changed the name in a familiar way.
Yan Qing smiled: "Of course, no problem."
Helian Muye stood up with her and made a small request, which was to choose his own residence.
After getting her consent as the homeowner, the man immediately asked people to move all his belongings to the backyard.
He didn't tell Yan Qing.
The remaining part of the medical fee was paid by himself, the most handsome man in You Country.
