I pretend to be affectionate in front of my foe

"Didn't he have injuries?" Yan Yun spoke faster than he wanted, and almost blurted out: "He took the injuries to lead the army?"

By the time Yan Yun realized it, the question had already been asked.He was a little annoyed that he shouldn't be so concerned about Xiao Yiran.

Thinking about it, Yan Yun turned his head away uncomfortably, he didn't want Ma Hua to see his awkward expression.

Ma Hua didn't feel that there was anything wrong and continued: "Then there is no way, the sword has no eyes on the scene, and injuries are naturally unavoidable. How dare the prince violate the emperor's order when he has a heavy responsibility."

Yan Yun was silent for a while, and then said lightly, "Yes."

Seeing that Yan Yun's expression was not very good, Ma Hua didn't dare to continue, but just stood beside Yan Yun quietly.

"How many soldiers did Qiang send this time?"

"30." Ma Hua answered crisply, but Yan Yun was startled.

30 troops is not a small number for a small country like Qiang.

Yan Yun originally thought that the reason for the riots in the Qiang Kingdom was to seek some benefits from the Jiang Kingdom, but they never expected that they would send so many troops to attack the Jiang Kingdom.

This is a tricky question, and it doesn't seem that simple.

Perhaps because of overthinking, Yan Yun's complexion was very ugly at this time.

"Young Master?" Ma Hua looked at Yan Yun worriedly, and before she could say anything, she was called out by Yan Yun.

In the royal city of Jiang Kingdom, Xiao Yiyang sat alone in the imperial study room. The candlelight in the room was deliberately dimmed, and the dim light left a shadow on his young face.

There was a large pile of unfinished memorials on the table, but Xiao Yiyang had no intention of reviewing them.He propped his head with one hand, playing with a jade pendant in his hand.

At first glance, the jade pendant is white jade, but if you look closely, you can clearly see that there are many impurities in it.

This jade is not even comparable to the ones sold at street stalls, the quality is so poor that it is not worth much money.But Xiao Yiyang, who is a prince, wears it with him, and has been wearing it for more than ten years.

This jade pendant was given to Xiao Yiyang by Yan Yun when he was six years old.

At that time, the two of them were young, and it was the time when they wanted to play, Yan Yun took the second prince Xiao Yiyang to sneak out of the palace with his family's carriage.

As soon as he left the palace, Yan Yun found his friends who usually play together, and everyone got together to play role-playing games.

Xiao Yiyang, who was still the second prince at that time, was not so relaxed.

The first time he slipped out of the palace, he was extremely nervous. Looking at the dirty children on the street, he subconsciously kept a distance from them.

Seeing Xiao Yiyang standing by himself, Yan Yun was afraid that he would not be able to blend in with everyone, so he directly pulled him to his side, gave him a jade pendant, and proudly said to him: "Now you are my Mrs. Yazhai, and this jade pendant is mine. A token for you."

"What?" Xiao Yiyang didn't react, he was at a loss while holding the jade pendant.

"Oh, you can just let it go. Apart from the Zhaizhu, Mrs. Yazhai has the highest status here. I am the Zhaizhu and you are Mrs. Yazhai, so it's settled!"

After Yan Yun finished speaking, he approached Xiao Yiyang and added quietly: "Next time I will let you be the owner of the village, and I will be the wife of the village. Don't say I won't let you." Although Xiao Yiyang didn't fully understand it, he still subconsciously agreed.

For so long in the past, Xiao Yiyang has long forgotten how to play that role-playing game back then. He only remembered that under the booing of a group of children, Yan Yun ran round and round with him on his back.

That day, he no longer had the scruples of being in the palace, just like Yan Yun and the others, chasing in the streets and alleys, running in the mud.

Eat food on the street when you are hungry, and go to the mountain spring to drink water when you are thirsty.

There are no complicated rules in the palace, no need to face the preaching of the mother and concubine, and no need to deliberately guard against the peers around her.

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Xiao Yiyang's calm face.

A knock on the door interrupted Xiao Yiyang's thoughts, Xiao Yiyang raised his head and glanced in the direction of the door, and caught a glimpse of a black figure unexpectedly, he quickly put away the jade pendant.

"Emperor Jiang, please stay safe." A dark figure slowly came out from the corner of the Imperial Study Room.

Seeing that Xiao Yiyang didn't answer, the man in black added: "I've done everything you told me."

Xiao Yiyang sat upright, opened a memorial, and said slowly: "I haven't seen the effect yet, so you came to claim credit?"

"Don't dare, I'm just here to remind you in case you forget our deal." The man in black's voice was sticky, giving off an uncomfortable feeling.

Hearing this, Xiao Yiyang frowned even deeper, and his tone was a bit unfriendly: "The eldest prince has done everything that should be done, there is no need to say anything else, I will never break my promise to you, you can rest assured."

"That's the best." The eldest prince of the Qiang Kingdom hid half of his body in the shadows, only showing an evil face: "The army is already waiting outside Pingcheng, Xiao Yiran is also dispatched, next..."

"Okay, you go first, I understand." Xiao Yiyang's tone has gradually become impatient.

The eldest prince of the Qiang Kingdom didn't say much anymore, he gave a sinister laugh, and then retreated into the darkness again.

The imperial study room fell into peace again, Xiao Yiyang got up angrily, overturned the memorial in front of him, and took out the jade pendant again.He looked at Yupei carefully, with obvious nostalgia in his eyes.

The jade pendant was originally a pair of two pieces. When playing games, Xiao Yiyang got half, and the other half went to Yanyun.

Xiao Yiyang didn't know whether Yan Yun's half was still there, but he kept his own half with great care. Even though the jade pendant was not worth much, he still kept it with him.

Xu Shi was dropped many times, and there were several cracks on the jade pendant, which made the jade pendant, which was worthless and of poor quality, even more difficult to catch the eye.

Looking at it, Xiao Yiyang couldn't help clenching the jade pendant tightly, the veins in his hand suddenly exposed, and the jade pendant was almost deformed by his pinching.

The cracked place was a broken place before, it was repaired by Xiao Yiran before, but now it has been cracked again.

The shattered slag pierced the skin of Xiao Yiyang's palm, blood flowed drop by drop on the bright yellow carpet, and also splashed on Xiao Yiyang's bright yellow dragon robe.

The tingling pain in the palm brought Xiao Yiyang back to his senses.A trace of remorse flashed in his eyes, and he carefully wiped off the blood on the jade pendant, and put the fragmented jade pendant into his arms cherishingly.

Xiao Yiyang stood still for a while, and called Cheng Gonggong: "Call Xiao Guifei to attend the bed."

Hearing that the emperor summoned her, Concubine Xiao Gui was very pleasantly surprised. She rewarded Eunuch Cheng with an ingot of gold with her own hands, and happily called a maid to dress herself up.

"Feixu, remember to take that lake-blue gauze."

"Yes." Seeing that her concubine was happy, the maid Feixu couldn't help but speak a lot more lightly: "Your Majesty, what kind of pearl hairpin do you want to wear?"

Concubine Xiao Gui sat shyly in front of the bronze mirror, gathered her long hair by herself, and tied it loosely with a plain ribbon, then said to Fei Xu: "No need, the emperor doesn't like that kind of complicated hair." Let's keep it simple."

The eunuchs carried the soft sedan chair and sent Concubine Xiao to the emperor's bedroom.

When Xiao Yiyang saw the person coming, he was momentarily stunned.He walked over slowly, held Concubine Xiao Gui in his arms, and murmured: "You are indeed the most suitable for Lake Blue."

Hearing the emperor praised herself, Concubine Xiao Gui immediately blushed. She was about to speak when Xiao Yiyang said again: "Your favorite lake blue color looks good only if you wear it."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xiao froze, the smile on her face gradually became bitter, she stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Yiyang away, and said softly: "Your Majesty, your memory is wrong, my favorite color is rose red."
