When Ding Longyan returned to Cangbai City, he had already heard that Princess Ruilin of Gong State was stationed at the school grounds in the north of the city with 10,000 soldiers. Although he, as Prince Yan of Yang State, was supposed to go and visit, he refused because he was injured.
Yu made excuses to reject the eunuch's suggestion and returned directly to the palace.
According to tradition, a prince who is granted the title of prince will generally live in his own territory, but at least he should live in his own palace. However, because Ding Longyan was deeply loved by Emperor Wen, even if he was granted the title of prince, he still lived in his own palace.
Live in the palace.
But in fact, one of the biggest reasons why Ding Longyan likes to go out for sightseeing instead of in the palace is because he really dislikes Emperor Wen's husband, Yuwen Lixun, the national master of the Yang Kingdom.
It's just...Yuwen Lixun seems to "like" Ding Longyan very much.
Although it has fallen into the night, the palace lanterns are hung high in the palace, swaying with the cold wind of winter night, making people's shadows suddenly lengthen and sometimes shorten, blurring people's sight.
At the corner of the corridor, Yuwen Lizun, who was dressed in black and had never bothered to tie up his long hair, stopped Ding Longyan, who was being supported by Chi Zifan to go to Prince Yan's Linglong Palace.
Those evil eyes could not reflect the brilliance of the palace lanterns. Yuwen Lixun looked at the pale Ding Longyan with a half-smile, and said: "Prince Yan unexpectedly encountered pirates on his way back to the palace, and he was tortured."
"I'm injured, no matter how you look at this...it's all very strange."
Glancing at Yuwen Lixun lightly, Ding Longyan tried his best to endure the pain of the wound on his chest and stood up straight: "What's so strange about this? The sea area of Yang Kingdom is vast, and pirates often rob merchant ships. This time
It's just that I was unfortunate enough to encounter a very vicious pirate."
"Oh? A vicious pirate?" Yuwen Lixun's eyes moved from Ding Longyan to Chi Zifan, "General Chi... ah, no, it's Guard Chi. Your martial arts are so good."
It's amazing that he was able to escape unscathed, but he couldn't protect his master, Prince Yan... and I heard that the guards who came back didn't suffer any damage at all. These pirates... are really vicious."
What Yu Wen Lizun said was extremely sinister, but the meaning of what he said was extremely obvious. Chi Zifan's expression did not change much. He had always had a serious face, so he turned to Yu Wen Lizun.
He bowed his head slightly and said word by word: "This subordinate failed to protect him well and should be punished. However, Your Majesty, please let your subordinates take Prince Yan back to Linglong Palace first. Prince Yan is still injured and is weak, so he should not stand for a long time."
"
Yuwen Lixun ignored Chi Zifan, and his eyes returned to Ding Longyan again, but to be precise, it was on Ding Longyan's chest: "Is Prince Yan's injury on the left chest? Then the pirate started.
Is there any sense of proportion? If there is no sense of proportion...Prince Yan should not just have a few stab wounds, but should be missing some...organs?"
Yu Wen Lixun's words were extremely ambiguous, but they made everyone know what he was talking about. Ding Longyan's originally pale face also had a blush of embarrassment, and he glared at Yu Wen Li
Xun.
"Your Highness, isn't it too rude to speak to Prince Yan like this?" Chi Zifan naturally understood that Yuwen Lizun's words were completely teasing Ding Longyan. Naturally, he couldn't bear to swallow such a thing, so he ignored it.
After all, Prince Yan is still the emperor's biological brother."
