The Blood Crown

As soon as Chen Kui left, Yuan Nanyu came in with a serious expression on his face: "This little prince looks very innocent, and I'm afraid he's not easy to control."

"He is indeed different from before." Yan Sikong frowned, "He has grown up..."

"Are we thinking things too simply? Did you mention Fengye just now?"

"I mentioned it, he said he doesn't trust Fengye." Yan Sikong's eyes rolled back and forth, "When he was in the capital, he thought that Fengye and I were at odds, and he had a prejudice against Fengye. Now..."

Yuan Nanyu scrambled: "Now he thinks you and Feng Ye are in collusion, how do you react?"

Yan Sikong glanced at Yuan Nanyu: "I can't say, maybe he even doubts me." He paused, and continued, "He is very smart and knows his situation. If there is no Fengye soldiers and horses, he will He can't even touch the gate of the capital, but he also knows that even if he becomes the emperor, he can't help but decide for himself, so he wants to test my attitude."

"How are you going to deal with it?"

"Naturally, I want him to think that I am loyal to him." Yan Sikong pondered, "In any case, he is still easy to control now, don't worry, I can convince him."

"I always feel that he..." Yuan Nanyu hesitated to speak.

"What do you think?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Nanyu thought to himself, probably because he was overthinking.

"Yu... Que Wang, you have worked so hard to take care of me all this way, and you are tired, go and have a rest." Yuan Nanyu was the one who took care of him during the rough and tiring journey. Without Yuan Nanyu, they might not be able to do anything. Safe to Yunnan.Although Yuan Nanyu doesn't remember the past, his gentle nature has never changed, and every time he thinks about it, it makes him very heartwarming.

Yuan Nanyu smiled: "This is the task given to me by the wolf king. Besides, we are brothers, as it should be."

Yan Sikong also smiled: "You know, I have experienced so many things in these years, and being able to meet you again is the best thing."

Yuan Nanyu was startled, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "If you are sincere, then I am also very happy."

"I mean it." Yan Sikong stared at him, "As you said, we are brothers."

Yuan Nanyu showed a nice smile.

-

Yan Sikong couldn't bear the tiredness, so he took a nap for a while, when he woke up it was dusk, and the servants of the palace took him to see Chen Kui.

Yan Sikong thought that what Chen Kui said to reward him would at least find a few confidantes to take care of him, but he didn't expect that there was only Chen Kui at the banquet.

Yan Sikong arched his hands: "Your Highness."

Chen Kui looked calm: "Sir, you don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

Yan Sikong sat down, looked at the dishes and said with a smile: "Many of these vegetable ministers have never seen before."

"I asked the cook to fry some famous local dishes, so that you can taste different flavors."

"Thank you Your Highness, I am really hungry."

"Then eat quickly." Chen Kui took the initiative to pour wine and pick up vegetables for Yan Sikong, but Yan Sikong couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it gladly.

During the dinner, Chen Kui never mentioned the purpose of Feng Ye and Yan Sikong's trip, but asked Yan Sikong's hardships along the way with concern, Yan Sikong also answered truthfully, expressing that he did not care about his own safety , Yin Yin is looking forward to reuniting with Chen Yu's loyalty.

From time to time, Chen Kui looked at Yan Sikong with a very deep gaze, and smiled faintly, making it impossible for Yan Sikong to figure out what that smile meant.

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Yu was slightly drunk, took Yan Sikong's hand and talked about his injustice and unwillingness over the years, as well as his longing and expectation for him, Yan Sikong did not forget to express his suffering, and when it came to emotion, Both of them were a little choked up, which was really touching.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and the servant's voice came eagerly: "Madam Qi, the lord does not allow outsiders to enter."

"I'm not an outsider." A delicate female voice pushed back.

Then, the door was gently pushed open with a creak, and a graceful figure stepped into the room. The woman was wearing a vermilion peony and cloud embroidered white flower padded jacket, a crimson jacket and skirt, and a slender white neck. Surrounded by a circle of snow fox fur, even wearing such thick clothes, she can still see her graceful posture. She bowed her head and bowed her body, and said softly: "I have seen the prince and... the distinguished guest."

That voice is soft and sweet, and it can crisp a person's bones.

The servant stood behind her and looked at Chen Kui nervously.

Chen Kui waved his hand and signaled him to go down. He looked at the woman with a displeased tone: "Manbi, didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

Qi Manbi said coquettishly: "I have never seen the prince receive guests like this before, but I have a banquet in my bedroom. I think it must be a distinguished guest. The prince does not have a regular wife, and the concubine is the mistress of the house. How can I not entertain the guests?"

Yan Sikong hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Madam." He didn't know that Chen Kui took a concubine, but it was very common.

Chen Kui frowned and said, "Manbi, get up."

Only then did Qi Manbi straighten up and raise her head. When her eyes met Yan Sikong's, both of them were taken aback.

Yan Sikong thought, this girl is really very delicate and beautiful, but this appearance...is it somewhat similar to her own?

Qi Manbi came back to his senses: "I don't know how to address the distinguished guest?"

Yan Sikong took a look at Chen Kui, his identity was kept secret when he came to Yunnan this time, and he just took off his disguise when he arrived at Chen Kui's house, but he didn't know whether Chen Kui trusted the woman.

Chen Kui hesitated for a moment: "He is Yan Sikong."

Qi Manbi was startled: "This... so you are Lord Yan. The prince often mentions you to me, and praises you as a rare talent in a hundred years." She looked at Yan Sikong with a strange look in her eyes, except for Chen Kui. There are many more people who will bring up the name, but there will be no good words.

"I dare not be a minister." Yan Sikong said respectfully.

"Sir, please sit down." Chen Kui said, "Manbi, come and toast your husband with a glass of wine."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, this..."

"Just sit down." Chen Kui took his hand and asked him to sit down.

Qi Manbi poured a glass of wine and respected Yan Sikong: "I have admired Mr.'s name for a long time, and I respect Mr. a glass of wine."

Yan Sikong had no choice but to accept the glass of wine.

After toasting, Qi Manbi retreated tactfully. Seeing her leave, Chen Kui said, "I'm usually too spoiled, too unruly, I made my husband laugh at me."

"The minister was terrified, and actually asked His Highness's concubine to toast the minister. This is really..."

"Sir's status in my heart is both master and father. It is only natural for her to toast you."

"I'm terrified..." Yan Sikong had always been humble, respectful, and courteous in front of Chen Kui. His words of being both a teacher and a father seemed to have some deep meaning, and I hope he was overwhelmed.

Chen Kui served Yan Sikongman another drink, laughed lightly, and said, "Have you noticed, sir, that Manbi looks a bit like you?"

Yan Sikong's heart trembled slightly, so it wasn't because he drank too much.Sometimes people are very vague about their own appearance, so he is not sure whether it is an illusion that he thinks that he looks like Manbi, but now he is sure that it is not an illusion.

Chen Kui What does this mean?

Yan Sikong calmed down his emotions, laughed loudly and said: "Your Highness just laughed, the side lady is in her prime, and she is stunningly beautiful, how can she be compared with a weather-beaten man like me."

"Mr.'s appearance is widely praised. As he gets older, he becomes more and more attractive." Chen Kui looked deeply into Yan Sikong's eyes, and smiled, "Sir...is it true that you can't see it?"

Yan Sikong made a dazed look: "Really?" He touched his face, and lowered his head to look at his reflection in the wine, "I really can't see it, if it's true, it means His Highness is here Praise the minister, the minister is happy."

"When I first met Manbi, I thought she looked like my husband, which made me very fond of her, so I took her as my concubine." Chen Kui shook his head with a smile, "She can serve People, just think a little more."

Yan Sikong praised: "My wife is beautiful and beautiful, with a beautiful heart and a beautiful heart. Your Highness has a good eye for people, and an even better eye for women."

Chen Kui raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Sikong: "Do you really think I have a good eye for women?"

Yan Sikong suddenly noticed that Chen Kui's expression was different, and he didn't dare to answer the question. Chen Kui found a woman who looked similar to himself as a concubine.

Seeing that he was silent, Chen Kui leaned forward and approached Yan Sikong: "You know, sir, the only reason I took her in is because of the face that slightly resembles him."

Sweat broke out on Yan Sikong's forehead, he said hesitantly: "Your Highness has left home and has no relatives or reasons around him, so I can only place my thoughts on this and seek peace of mind. It sounds like I really feel sorry for Your Highness."

Chen Kui laughed softly: "Well, you are right, you are right, Mr. is always so insightful. When I look at her, I can think of Mr., and sometimes I can lie to myself, Mr. is by my side, Urging me to study and teaching me the way of the emperor, so I dote on her especially, which is really an empathy for Mr. "

Yan Sikong is already on pins and needles, he would never have imagined that Chen Kui would pose such a big problem to him, even though Chen Kui hasn't explained it to him, but he is so smart, Chen Kui is probably against him...

Yan Sikong was furious for a moment, cursing inwardly, what a fucking mess!Mess!
