Under Tong Mingyu's intimidation and coaxing, Xiao Yao began to revise her painting. Since it was impossible to show Yun Yichen's face to the public, she decided to draw his profile instead! After revising it for a whole day, she took her work and showed it to everyone again.
"Not bad, you can tell it's Yun at a glance." The old man was reluctant to torment his granddaughter anymore. He didn't know whether others were satisfied or not, but he thought it was already good enough.
It turns out it's Yun Yichen! Although the figure is a little sloppily drawn, the sword and purse are very recognizable. Coupled with this profile, everyone can tell it's Yun Yichen this time.
"Can you change it again?" Qin hoped that her granddaughter would pay attention to Yun Yichen instead of being perfunctory like she is now. The marriage between the Xiao family and the Prince Jing's Mansion was already a pleasant surprise, so how could she treat the prince poorly?
"I really can't." Xiao Yao gave Qin a straightforward and affirmative answer. There were less than ten days left until Princess Jing's birthday. If she repainted it, she wouldn't have to do anything. Being able to paint Yun Yichen like this was already beyond her imagination.
Luo Yan also had his sights set on Princess Jing's birthday. The things he had painstakingly bought were now in front of him. Although he felt a little uneasy, Luo Yan knew that if he wanted to take Xiao Yao away, he could only rely on it.
"Junior brother, this poisonous insect was cultivated by our master with great effort. You must cherish it!" An ordinary-looking man sitting on the chair opposite Luo Yan, dressed like a Tianyu person, explained in detail.
"You're so nagging. Just tell me how to use it." Luo Yan was a little impatient. In order to let the Xiao family relax their vigilance, he could only stay in the princess's mansion recently. Not only could he not see the stunning beauties, he almost forgot what a woman looked like.
"This is a mother-child Gu. The mother Gu will be placed on you, and the child Gu will be placed on the person you want. But first, you need to find an item that person often uses and a few drops of blood."
"The things are easy to find, but the blood..." That's not easy. If you're not careful, you might alert the enemy.
"You can't be reluctant!"
"Tsk! It's just a few drops of blood. What's there to be reluctant about? It's just a bit troublesome. Let me think of a way!" Luo Yan was thinking of putting a curse on Xiao Yao on Princess Jing's birthday, so that no one would suspect him. If he did it cleverly, the two families might become enemies in the future. It was really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
The two of them discussed for a while before concluding the meeting. After Luo Yan had someone arrange accommodations for his senior brother, he called in his men and assigned tasks. He had finally found an excuse to come out once, and he had to eat something before he could go back.
An accident happened to the Han family, and the Queen Mother's summer vacation trip was postponed. Yun Yichen was now numb to the Queen Mother's favoritism. No one knew whether the Queen Mother suspected her grandson, but the Emperor and Prince Jing were certain that Yun Yichen was the one who did it.
"You were a bit cruel!" Killing someone directly would be one thing, but torturing him to death is what? The Han family has been avenged by you. Can your uncle and father really pretend not to see it?
In the past few days, the imperial doctors and precious medicinal materials in the palace have been sent to the Han family like water. How can the emperor not feel distressed? He was embarrassed to blame his mother, so he could only vent his anger on his nephew.
"If you give the order, I can do it more decisively." Yun Yichen had no intention of denying it, and he didn't want to hide anything in front of these two people.
"Now that you've vented your anger, just be more obedient from now on!" The emperor was afraid that his nephew would take action again, otherwise the palace warehouse would be emptied.
Yun Yichen turned his head away without responding. Is that enough? He felt it was far from enough. In his plan, this was just the beginning. Putting aside the others, Han Yueting had repeatedly troubled the little girl. How could he let her go so easily?
Yun Yichen really wanted to push Han Yueting to Luo Yan, but he felt that Luo Yan would not be easily fooled. It was impossible for him to let Han Yueting go easily. He had to make her pay the price to vent his anger.
This long silence was enough to show Yun Yichen's attitude. The emperor knew that there was no need to waste words on this matter and could move on to the next topic.
"Where are the treasures and calligraphy and paintings in my villa?" The chief steward of the villa came into the palace crying that day. He had put this matter aside because he was too busy in the past few days, but it did not mean that he had forgotten it.
"Your villa needs to be rectified. The Han family enters the villa as if it were their own backyard, shouting and yelling, and they don't even take me, the prince, and Ruonan, the princess, seriously. The guards are lax and the protection is not good. You can use this incident to discipline them."
"I'm asking, where did those things go?" This kid didn't reflect on his own mistakes first, but pushed all the blame onto the guards of the villa. His ability to turn the tables is getting better and better.
"I'll keep those things for decorating the new house. Since the Empress Dowager is taking the Han family away for summer vacation, let Fengxiang Palace and the Han family take out some things to redecorate the villa. Otherwise, she will dislike those things because we have used them and feel embarrassed to let people throw them away."
King Jing couldn't stand it anymore and coughed a few times. His son was really too arrogant, even more so than when he was young. Although his reasons were sufficient, it was not appropriate to say it so bluntly!
The Emperor leaned back in his chair, breathing heavily. Chen He hurried over to fill the Emperor's teacup, then gently massaged the Emperor's temples. While feeling sorry for the Emperor, he couldn't help but admire Yun Yichen's courage. Of the Emperor's dozen sons, only Prince Qi dared to make a few harmless jokes. None of the other princes dared to say what Yun Yichen said today.
"I originally had some news to tell you, but now it seems I can forget about it. The young lady of the Xiao family is prone to getting into trouble, so it's not a bad thing for her to be taken back to Northern Jin by Luo Yan."
When Yun Yichen heard that what the emperor was going to say was related to Xiao Yao, the arrogant expression on his face immediately subsided. He pulled a chair and sat next to the emperor, pretending to listen attentively.
"Hmm!" The emperor tapped the cup on the table with his chin. If you don't show some attitude, you'll never hear any top-secret information.
Yun Yichen lost his temper and stopped talking about big principles. Without saying a word, he obediently followed the emperor's instructions and poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
The emperor drank the tea poured by his nephew slowly and leisurely. It usually took him half an incense stick to finish the tea, but today it took him almost an incense stick to finish it.
Since my uncle was able to remain calm, it proved that the situation was not as exaggerated or serious as he said. Yun Yichen poured tea for Prince Jing and himself, and sipped it slowly with the emperor.
"It is said that the reason why Concubine Jia of Northern Jin was able to enjoy the favor in the palace for many years was that someone planted a love Gu in her and the Emperor of Northern Jin, a magical thing that can make people fall deeply in love with each other." The emperor stared at Yun Yichen's face, which was calm at first but then changed color, and spoke slowly.
"Gu, isn't this thing only found in Miaojiang?" King Jing put down the cup in his hand and asked solemnly.
"It is said that Concubine Jia has a close connection with Miaojiang."
"What would happen if you were hit by this thing?" Yun Yichen asked with concern.
The emperor shook his head. These things had never appeared in Tianyu and the common people had never heard of them. The nobles and the royal family had only heard of them. No one knew what they would look like.
"I'll go to the Xiao family right now and ask the old man to agree to my junior sister and I getting married right away." Yun Yichen's heart was shrouded in a shadow. He was afraid that if the Xiao family failed to take proper precautions, Luo Yan would get the opportunity to take action. He was even more afraid that Luo Yan had the thing that his uncle mentioned.
When Yun Yichen thought about Xiao Yao and Luo Yan hugging each other and showing their love in front of him one day, he wanted to kill someone. He would never allow such a thing to happen. He would rather die with Xiao Yao than accept such an ending.
"Don't be nervous yet. Things may not come to this point! It is said that the insect is extremely rare and many conditions must be met at the same time to work. Just tell the Xiao family to be more careful and arrange more experts around Ping An, and everything should be fine." King Jing remembered hearing Lin You mention the love insect. Lin You even made a special trip to Miaojiang for this purpose. Perhaps he should find him to ask.
"I'll go and dispatch some people. Father, can you send someone to look for Uncle Lin? I remember he seemed to have been to Miaojiang." Yun Yichen stood up and walked out. He now only wanted to go to the Xiao family to see if his little girl was safe.
"There are two women in the Shenlong Guard. Let them go to the Xiao family!" How could the emperor not see his nephew's thoughts? Besides, the Jingwang Mansion and the Xiao family had already been engaged. If the niece's wife was snatched away by someone under such circumstances, it would not only bring shame to the Jingwang family.
"I'll send someone to find Lin You right away." King Jing prayed to himself as he went to find someone, hoping nothing would happen, otherwise peace would be ruined, his son would go crazy, and his family and the Xiao family would never have a good life again.
It's not impossible to let my son get married now, but the time is too short. The new house is not decorated yet, and the family is completely unprepared! I can only send someone to protect my daughter-in-law first.
Yun Yichen rushed to the Xiao family as quickly as possible. Fortunately, Xiao Jingkang was at home. Yun Yichen no longer had the heart to be polite with his father-in-law and went straight to the study.
Whose house is this? Xiao Jingkang looked around and saw that it was indeed his own home. This kid had entered the house as soon as he arrived, and he really didn't treat himself as an outsider. After Xiao Jingkang heard this, he no longer cared about complaining and was only shocked.
"What should I do?" Xiao Jingkang murmured, completely at a loss.
"There are two options. First, my junior sister and I should get married as soon as possible."
Xiao Jingkang looked at Yun Yichen in astonishment. This couldn't be his real purpose for coming today!
Yun Yichen sighed. The Xiao family really didn't trust him! Initially, he had planned to do so, but later he thought it was a little inappropriate. Regardless of whether this would happen, his new house was not yet completed, and the arrangements for the wedding were not made properly. He hoped to give Xiao Yao a grand wedding, rather than a hastily prepared imperfect one.
"What about the second one?" Xiao Jingkang smiled apologetically. The Xiao family was not ready to marry off their daughter right now. Although his daughter could only live at home for half a year at most, he didn't want to lose the last half year.
"Secondly, I will send more people to ensure that Junior Sister does not leave Yaoyuan Building and that her belongings are kept under close watch. Please do not allow any mistakes to occur here."
The implication is that if the Xiao family can't do it, then the Jingwang Mansion will do it, right? Xiao Jingkang will not give him this opportunity!
