The Imperial Palace, Dew Palace.
As everyone ate, the topic gradually started.
During the process, what made Yang Yu feel strange was that Empress Xiao always looked at him strangely.
That gaze was unforgettable.
It was not love, hatred, or admiration.
He actually couldn't figure out the specific meaning.
On the contrary, Princess Ruyi looked at him from time to time with a gaze that was filled with intoxicating love. If not for the Sui Emperor Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, she would have already run to Yang Yu.
Cough cough, although he was sitting beside her.
……
After the meal, Empress Xiao left with the reluctant Princess Ruyi, leaving Yang Guang and Yang Yu alone in the Dew Palace.
"Minister Yang, if you are going to Qi County and pass by Dengzhou, you can pay a visit to King Reliance.”
In front of the imperial table, Sui Emperor Yang Guang seemed to have thought of something and said to Yang Yu.
"King Reliance?"
Yang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard that.
King Reliance Yang Lin, the eighth hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the uncle of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. He was one of the Nine Elders of the State. He had made great contributions to the establishment and unification of the Sui Dynasty, so he was conferred the title of King Reliance.
It was even said that on the day Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he was willing to share half of the Great Sui Dynasty with his brother King Reliance, Yang Lin. King Reliance, Yang Lin, did not like power, so he was only given the title of King Reliance.
Similarly, Yang Lin was also one of Yang Guang's biggest supporters and one of his most trusted people.
Yang Lin's face is like powder, two yellow eyebrows, nine feet tall, waist ten circumference, good at using two water and fire prison dragon sticks, each weighing 150 jin, has the courage of ten thousand men.
It was said that Luo Cheng's father, the Marquis of Jingbian, Luo Yi, had once been defeated by him. That was why he submitted to Great Sui and guarded Yan and You for Great Sui to prevent the foreign races from invading the border of Great Sui!
"Although Imperial Uncle is old, he is still the King of Great Sui. With him supporting Minister Yang, no one in Great Sui would dare to attack Minister Yang.”
"Moreover, Qi County has many bandits. The Reliance Guards in Imperial Uncle's hands are elites that are not inferior to my Imperial Guards.”
"Other than that, he also has the 13 Guardians under him. All of them are first-class experts. With their help, I can rest assured.”
Yang Guang, the Sui Emperor, had clearly given everything to Yang Yu to consider. Then, he handed Yang Yu a token arrow with the word Sui on one side and the word Yang on the other.
"With this token arrow, you can mobilize a thousand Imperial Army soldiers from the Ba Shang Imperial Guards.”
When Yang Yu saw this, he took the token arrow from Yang Guang and bowed slightly towards Yang Guang.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Yu could feel Yang Guang's unhesitating good impression of him. Obviously, he did not have any bad thoughts about him.
Therefore, when he saw Yang Guang's sincere eyes, he took Yang Guang's token arrow and bowed sincerely!
This bow was different from the usual casual bow. It was to thank Yang Guang for his trust in him.
What do you want from this king?
When Sui Emperor Yang Guang saw Yang Yu put away the token arrow, he smiled and said to Yang Yu.
"Minister Yang, accompany zhen to walk around the harem.”
After saying that, he did not care if Yang Yu agreed or not. He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and stepped out of the Dew Palace.
When Yang Yu saw this, he smiled helplessly. He felt that Yang Guang at this moment gave him an indescribable feeling.
However, he shook his head slightly and immediately chased after her.
……
In the back garden of the Imperial Palace.
Yang Yu followed behind Yang Guang, who had his hands behind his back, and quietly followed him.
However, for some reason, a strange atmosphere suddenly appeared.
It was as if they could understand each other's thoughts even if they did not say anything.
At the same time, Empress Xiao, who had sent Princess Ruyi back to Fengyang Pavilion, was alone in the back garden, looking at the galaxy because of something.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps in the quiet back garden.
He looked up and saw Yang Guang and Yang Yu.
Under the night light, the two figures seemed to overlap, giving Empress Xiao a vague feeling.
It was as if Yang Yu was Yang Guang when he was young. They looked so harmonious.
They were like father and son!
However, that feeling disappeared in an instant. Emperor Yang Guang also discovered Empress Xiao's figure.
Hence, she quickened her pace and arrived beside Empress Xiao not long after. She looked at the beautiful Empress Xiao and smiled.
"Empress, it's already late. What are you still doing here?”
At the same time, Yang Yu also came to Emperor Yang Guang's side and bowed slightly to Empress Xiao.
"Yang Yu greets the Empress."
"Marquis Yu, there's no need to be so polite."
Empress Xiao looked at Yang Yu with a complicated expression and slowly said.
She felt as if she had discovered something, but she felt that it was impossible.
Therefore, she did not show any discomfort on the surface.
A moment later, the three of them sat under the jade pavilion in the back garden, admiring the moonlight. A palace maid brought pastries and moonlight wine. The three of them drank the wine in the moonlight cup and ate the sweet pastries.
Under the moonlight, they looked like a harmonious family.
Time passed quickly in this harmonious atmosphere.
When it was midnight, Yang Yu looked at the sky and immediately said goodbye to Emperor Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, who seemed to be unaware of the passage of time.
After all, he had to leave for Qi County tomorrow, and it was already very late.
It was time to go back.
The two people who were awakened by Yang Yu revealed an uncomfortable expression, but they immediately reacted.
"Minister Yang, why don't you stay in the palace today?”
For some reason, Sui Emperor Yang Guang suddenly had an impulse to not want Yang Yu to leave, so he took the initiative to mention it.
Even Empress Xiao, who rarely spoke, had uncharacteristically suggested that Yang Yu stay.
Yang Yu smiled bitterly when he saw this.
"Your Majesty, Empress, Yang Yu is an outsider. It would be uncomfortable for him to stay in the palace.”
When Sui Emperor Yang Guang heard this, he frowned. However, he did not continue to persuade Yang Yu to stay. Instead, he opened his mouth and said,
"Then when we set off tomorrow, let me send you off.”
"Your Majesty, you can't do that."
Yang Yu was shocked when he heard Yang Guang's words.
"Why can't Zhen send Marquis Yu off?”
"It's settled then."
When Sui Emperor Yang Guang saw Yang Yu's shocked expression, he suddenly revealed a smile. w
Seeing this, Yang Yu had no choice but to agree.
After that, Yang Yu left. Empress Xiao looked at Yang Yu's departing back with a strange light in her eyes.
"Empress, go back to bed."
"Yes."
