In front of the royal study, the Emperor pushed open the door. Ling Yuyao and Ling Yuxuan were already sitting in the study, and the two of them were arguing. The Emperor walked up and pointed at Ling Yuxuan's nose.""You brat, how many times do I have to tell you before you learn your lesson? Don't run around when your injuries haven't healed. Also, don't joke around with your life in the future. If this kind of thing happens again, don't blame me for not giving you face.”
"Alright, alright, big brother. I know. My ears are getting calluses.”Ling Yuxuan exaggeratedly pulled his ear to the Emperor for him to see. That action was funny and childish.
"Didn't you say that you have something to tell me and Big Brother? What is it?" Ling Yu said expressionlessly as he took a sip of tea.
"I still want to ask if you're hiding something from me? It's time to tell me now." Ling Yuxuan's expression suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy.
"What can we hide from you?”The two of them said in unison.
"That's right. Big Brother, we haven't had any secrets for so many years.”Ling Yuhan added.
"Didn't father tell you the reason for protecting me? It was Eldest Brother and Second Brother who felt that I was too young to remember such small things back then. However, it was also true. At that time, I did not understand what Imperial Father meant. Now, I finally understood.”
"Third brother, did you remember something, or did you say?”The Emperor held Ling Yuxuan's shoulder and asked excitedly.
"I did recall some fragmented memories and felt like I had returned to the past. Have you seen the map on my back?”
The Emperor was shocked." You finally remembered. I deliberately hid it from you for so many years and didn't mention it because I was afraid that you would be under too much pressure. With your personality, if you knew, you would definitely have many thoughts. Big Brother only hopes that you will live according to your heart and won't be so tired. No one knows what will happen in the future. I have always hoped that you and your second brother will live well.”
"Big brother, this is the reason why you have been protecting me.”
"When you had a fever, I helped you wipe your body. I don't know what haunted you, but your mind was extremely unstable.”Ling Yuyao gritted his teeth.
Ling Yuxuan jumped up from the stool and shouted,"What?" Second Brother, you, you, you…if you wipe my body, wouldn't you have seen me naked?”After saying that, her face immediately turned red, all the way to her neck.
"Third Brother, why is your face so red? It's not like Second Brother hasn't seen it before. When you had a fever in the past, Second Brother was the one who bathed you.”
"That's different."
"What's different? Why do you look like a girl?”Ling Yuandong looked at him in confusion.
"I'm just…nothing!”He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. How close. He had almost been exposed. He had actually been seen naked. How tragic. My first naked body was gone just like that.
"Big brother, second brother, now that I've already remembered, you don't have to worry about me. I know that we should be careful. After all, this matter can be big or small. I'll pay attention..."
"Oh right, third brother, what's going on with that Ni Shang? The matter had to be resolved. Those old fellows in the imperial court mentioned this matter every day. This was related to the two countries, and the matter was a little tricky. It might cause a dispute between the two countries. If someone with ulterior motives knew about it, they would definitely make use of this to make a fuss.”
"I only know that Nichang came out of the Glazed Tile Valley, but I don't know anything else. Logically speaking, it's impossible for that envoy not to discover that his princess had been swapped. Big brother, go and ask the envoy to come over. I have something to ask him.”
"Men, bring the envoy over. I have something to ask him.”
"Pu Nuo greets the emperor and the two princes.”
"Envoy Pu Nuo, there is no need to be so polite. This king has something to ask this envoy. Did anything happen on the way to Jingdou? Did anything unusual happen to the princess?”
Nuo Pu didn't answer Ling Yuxuan's question directly. Instead, he said," Third Prince, the princess offended you at the banquet. I hope that you can forgive her for her mistakes. Actually, the princess is not in a good situation either. I didn't intend to say it, but Third Prince would rather hurt himself to protect the princess. I think you should know the princess, right?”
"This king does know her, but this king doesn't know anything about her. We've only met once.”
"I can see that the Third Prince is worried about the princess. Actually, the original marriage partner was not her, but the eldest princess Wu Meng. She is the youngest princess in Wu Tuo Country. Because she was weak since she was young, she was sent to the Glazed Tile Valley by the King to be treated by Miracle Doctor Mo Yun. Therefore, she has almost never returned to Wu Tuo Country. The King has never asked about the little princess. However, during this marriage, the King told me that the little princess has returned and that he was going to replace the eldest princess. As officials, we did not dare to ask too much and could only do as he said. So the little princess was sent here. Your highness, I beg you not to blame the little princess. She's actually a pitiful person. No one has loved her since she was young. Sometimes, I would be ordered to deliver things. She often ran over to ask me why I was the only one who came to see her. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She's still so young.”
"Then she is indeed the little princess of your Wu Tuo Country, right? Is her name Ni Shang?”
"Yes, I swear on my head that it's true.”
"That's easy, isn't it, big brother and second brother?”Ling Yuxuan smiled evilly and felt his eyebrows twitch.
"Big brother, arrange for her to stay in my residence first. The excuse is to cultivate feelings for her first. As for the future, she will forget about it after a long time. No one in my wangfu will find trouble with me, right?”
"Previously, you said that you wanted to push the princess far away. Now that you know that she's an acquaintance, you can't wait to bring her back to the residence. I say, third brother, your performance is too obvious.”
"Big brother, what are you thinking? I just want to protect her. I swear I treat her like a sister.”Ling Yuxuan raised two fingers and made an oath.
The Emperor and Ling Yuandong exchanged a glance, showing a look that they both understood.
"Then Nichang should return to your Third Prince's mansion first. Cultivate your relationship well and don't disappoint me and your second brother, hahaha.”
After the discussion, they returned to their living quarters. Ni Shang was no longer on the bed. He called Qing Liu to pack up Ni Shang's things and was about to return to the Prince's mansion. Just as he was about to leave, he bumped into Ni Shang at the door. Seeing that Ni Shang was about to fall, he could only help her up. He used too much strength and pulled her into his embrace. He could only reach out to hug her. The fragrance entered Ling Yuxuan's nose. It was still the same smell, it had not changed.
"I was just about to go out and look for you. Where did you go?”Ling Yuxuan asked.
"When I woke up, I saw that the Tianshan Snow Lotus was still there, so I went to brew medicine for you. This medicine will be very beneficial to your injuries.”
Looking at the black medicine in the bowl, Ling Yuxuan did not have any desire to drink it. It must be very bitter.
"Brother Ling, although this medicine is a little bitter, good medicine tastes bitter. Drink it, I have dessert here.”
Ling Yuxuan looked at Ni Shang's actions as if she was coaxing a child. He took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp. The taste was extremely bitter. The moment the medicine entered his mouth, he wanted to spit it out. Then, he stuffed a sweet thing into his mouth.
"Alright, you've drunk the medicine. Let's go back to the prince's mansion. I've told big brother that you should go to my mansion first. You don't have to worry about anything else. I'll help you settle it.”
"Brother Ling, you said you're bringing me back to your house, is that true?”
"Of course it's true. Your current situation is very disadvantageous to you. You can stay in my palace as the princess of the marriage alliance first so that I can protect you.”
"Then Big Brother Ling, are you my marriage partner now?”
"Yes, don't worry. After my big brother's matter is settled, you can go anywhere you want. I won't trap you, so I'll let you suffer for now.”
"Yes, Brother Ling, I'll listen to you.”
"Then let's return to the Imperial Residence first. Qing Liu, pack up and leave.”
"Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu, wangye is back, wangye is back!"
When the servants who were busy heard the news, they all ran out and lined up neatly.”
Uncle Fu walked out and looked at the girl standing beside his highness."Your highness, you're finally back. Let me see where you're injured."”
"Uncle Fu, Nichang is not an outsider. You can call me Xuan 'er. It sounds intimate. She is the princess of Wu Tuo Country and will live in our king's mansion in the future.”
"Alright, I'll send someone to clean it up now.”
"Qing Liu, bring Ni Shang to the Flowing Water Courtyard to see if there is anything that needs to be added. I will talk to the butler.”
"Yes, wangye. Princess, come with me.
"Barkley, let's go to the study room. There's something I need to discuss with you.”
When they arrived at the study, Ling Yuxuan asked directly,"Uncle Fu, call back all the people I've secretly nurtured. I have some instructions."”
When they arrived at the Flowing Water Courtyard, everything was ready. The room was decorated very simply and looked noble and elegant.
"Big Brother Ling, you're here!"
She turned around and saw Ni Shang walking over with a bouquet of flowers. The beam of light shone on her as if she was a fairy walking out of the flowers.
"It's still early. I'll take you to a place.”
He held Ni Shang's hand and walked out. He rode on his horse and walked towards the mountains.
Uncle Fu looked at the two people who had walked far away and sighed,"It seems that the Imperial Residence is going to have a mistress. I've finally waited for this day."”
The two of them galloped on their horses, one in front and one behind, chasing each other. They were having a good time in the mountains.
The road was getting narrower and narrower. I could only dismount and walk slowly with her hand. When we reached a place with dense leaves, Ling Yuxuan tied the horse to the tree and used his hand to pry open the leaves to pull Ni Shang's hand. We entered. The beautiful scenery in front of us deeply shocked Ni Shang and also surprised Ling Yuxuan. The green lake, the crisp grass, the occasional light, and all kinds of nameless flowers were like heaven on earth. I laid leisurely on the grass and watched Ni Shang play with the water. I quietly walked to the water's edge. He grabbed the water and sprinkled it on Ni Shang. The two of them splashed water on each other until they were completely drenched before they went ashore.
