There was a sound of footsteps outside the palace, and Ye Jiuer came, followed by palace maids and eunuchs.
"Brother, I have come to discuss this with you..."
She was halfway through her words when she saw Yan An sitting opposite the prince and froze in place.
The prince stood up and introduced Ye Jiuer, "Royal sister, let me introduce you, this is the eldest young master of the Lu family and his wife Yan An."
Lu Jingzhi stood up and clasped his fists, "Hello, Princess Jiuer."
Seeing that they had a good chat with the prince, Ye Jiuer secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that this woman in the Sky-Stepping Realm would cause trouble for her, or even endanger the safety of everyone in the palace. After all, this woman was in the Sky-Stepping Realm like her father.
"Well, please sit down."
"Royal sister, they want to help us deal with Akabane Peak. It just so happens that you, the little military advisor, are here. Let's discuss it together."
Ye Jiuer sat next to the prince, her whole body filled with questions.
[Why did they come to see the emperor?]
[And why do you know them?]
[Why did two people with such a huge difference in strength become husband and wife?]
[More importantly, why cooperate with the royal family to deal with Akabane Peak?]
During this half hour, she was absent-mindedly thinking about things, and she wanted to express her doubts on the spot.
But when he saw that his royal brother was chatting happily with them, he held back.
Lu Jingzhi stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Okay, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will keep his word."
He also stood up and said, "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Don't worry."
After the discussion was complete, the master and disciple bowed and said goodbye.
Just as the two of them reached the door, Ye Jiuer came forward with her skirt lifted up, "Let me escort you two out of the palace."
Lu Jingzhi was not surprised. During the discussion, she often looked at Yan An, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Okay, please, Princess."
The prince stood there, gazing deeply at Yan An's graceful back, sighed softly, and walked to the large bookcase.
He took out a scroll and slowly opened it. The woman inside was sitting gracefully among a field of daisies with a smile on her lips. She looked 70% similar to Yan An.
"Your Highness, they just look alike." Seeing that he was depressed, Mr. Tan stepped forward to comfort him.
"Yeah, I know, but I miss her so much."
Mr. Tan said nothing more and shook his head helplessly.
Ever since the Crown Princess passed away for some reason, he has not been able to eat or sleep well. Although he is still alive, he looks lifeless.
The prince looked at the painting for a long time before rolling it up and putting it back.
"Your Highness, there is something I don't understand."
"Well, Mr. Tan, please go ahead."
"Your Highness, you said that girl is so strong, why don't you personally avenge her husband's disgrace? Based on her strength, Akabane Peak should not be her opponent."
He sat on the chair in front of the desk and said, "You don't understand this. The shame must be redeemed personally. This is what a man should do." After saying this, he continued to look at the memorial.
On the other side…
Ye Jiuer, who followed them, walked beside them and wanted to ask something, but the question was stuck in her throat.
"Princess, if you have any questions, please ask."
"Why do you want to cooperate with us? There is no Sky-stepping Realm in Akabane Peak."
"Or do you want to seize power?"
Lu Jingzhi couldn't help laughing out loud.
"why are you laughing?"
He stopped smiling and said, "First, I have no interest in power. Second, I must redeem myself for the humiliation I suffered. Third, I heard that you wanted to kill my wife before."
Ye Jiuer stepped back suddenly, a look of vigilance on her face, while the eunuchs and palace maids behind her looked at each other in confusion.
"Don't panic, we are friends now. We need to do things one by one and settle accounts one by one." He looked at Yan An and said, "My lady, let's go."
"Um."
Ye Jiuer glanced at their departing backs and bit her red lips with her pearly teeth.
How will they settle this account?
[Destroy the royal family to vent your anger? Or something else?]
[Ah... the Sky Realm is truly too far away.]
After leaving the palace, the two walked in the bustling city of Kyoto, which was different from the prosperity of Xuanhai City.
The folk customs here are mellow, the scenery is ancient, and the rows of buildings are well preserved.
A small river spreads out like a snake, with countless small wooden boats docked on the river, and willow branches hanging down to the riverside, which has a strong Jiangnan flavor.
Lu Jingzhi walked along the river bank and reached out to hold the soft, boneless little hand in his palm.
"How about we go back tomorrow? How about we just date in the capital today?"
"What does it mean to be in love?"
"Uh...it's just a date, something for couples to do to strengthen their relationship."
Hearing this, Yan An nodded slightly and looked at him tenderly, "Well, I'll do as you say."
The two of them strolled along the quaint streets, and Yan An's appearance attracted the attention of everyone passing by.
Lu Jingzhi saw that the front was full of people, occasionally exclaiming and applauding enthusiastically. Out of curiosity, he walked over, but the front was already blocked by people.
He stood on tiptoe to look inside and realized that there were people performing acrobatics here.
One of the men was covered in high-concentration alcohol, set on fire, and then thrown into the air by another partner.
His body stood straight and began to spin in the air like Hot Wheels.
Yan An's 1.68-meter-tall figure was completely blocked by people from behind, and only the backs of heads in rows could be seen.
"I'll stand in the air and watch."
Seeing Yan An was about to stand in the air, Lu Jingzhi took her arm and said, "I want to watch from the air, too. Madam, hold me with you."
