When Du Yan and the two stepped into the door, they saw Yuan Ning come out of the room.
When she saw Du Yan coming back, she walked up to her and said with a smile, "Sister, you are finally back."
Today, Yuan Ning and Du Yan are standing together, and they don't look like twin sisters.
Yuan Ning's figure is graceful and her face is beautiful, and she has the appearance of a complete girl; on the other hand, Du Yan is more than half a head taller than Yuan Ning, and her face is a bit more heroic than Yuan Ning. Although she is tall, she has no curves. .
After wearing men's clothes, in the eyes of others, Du Yan is not so much Yuan Ning's twin sister, but her eldest brother.
Du Yan lowered his hand, Ren Yuanning hugged his arm: "Are you waiting for me here?"
"I just came back from my mother. I heard that you beat up Yuan Jue, sister?"
Yuan Ning nodded, not shy about Cheng Yu, who was following behind Du Yan. Over the years, she has become accustomed to this proton of Chengguo following behind her sister like a shadow.
Although her sister is often bossy towards Cheng Yu, in Yuan Ning's view, Cheng Yu is mostly happy. After discovering this fact, she never asked her sister to stop bullying Cheng Yu.
Du Yan didn't find it strange at all. As the lord of the first palace, the queen made such a big fuss. It was not surprising that the news quickly spread to the palace.
The three walked to the bedroom together, and when they reached the door, Du Yan sent Cheng Yu to make tea, and then went in with Yuan Ning and sat down on the couch in the outer room.
After Du Yan took his seat, he asked, "What did your mother say about Yuan Jue?"
Yuan Ning blinked and revealed a playful smile: "Sister, are you afraid that your mother will teach you?"
"What if?"
The plan went well, and Du Yan was in a good mood, so he followed Yuan Ning's words and teased his sister.
"Then you have to bribe me well before I can tell you." Yuan Ning held his chin and raised his lips proudly.
Du Yan knows Yuan Ning very well, and she likes to collect all kinds of novelties in the folk market.
However, the queen felt that Yuan Ning was already sixteen years old, and it was inappropriate to look like a child when she was about to marry. With the Queen's order, all the gadgets in the original Ning Palace were cleaned up. Even when she occasionally went out, she was not allowed to bring back the things she bought to the palace.
Therefore, Yuan Ning wanted to get some small toys to hide and play in private, and the only source was Du Yan.
"I saw something here again, let's talk."
Yuan Ning pointed to the accessories around Du Yan's waist: "Sister, this string of accessories on your waist is really beautiful."
Du Yan took off the jade from his waist, put it on his hand for a moment, saw Yuan Ning's eyes, and smiled: "Your eyes are quite sharp, but you are focusing on my new accessories for a while."
Yuan Ning was a little shy: "I don't know why, but when I saw this string of accessories, I liked it very much."
"want to?"
As soon as Du Yan finished speaking, he saw a tray drop on the case in front of him.
Cheng Yu, who had just been instructed by him to make tea, put the tray down just at this moment. Maybe Du Yan was too sensitive, he always felt that the force of the tray falling was a little bit stronger than usual.
Du Yan originally thought that if Yuanning really liked it, it wouldn't hurt to give her this accessory. Anyway, he is also a vicious character. He robbed Cheng Yu and gave it to others, which fits the character very well.
However, the appearance of Cheng Yu reminded him of one thing.
The relationship between Cheng Yu and Yuan Ning is the hero and heroine of Jin Jian in the original plot of the movie. Even if Cheng Yu slag Yuan Ning in the end, Yuan Ning's feelings for Cheng Yu before his death were extremely complicated, and he was not completely forgotten. As a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor, Cheng Yu finally left a soft corner for Yuan Ning in his heart.
With such a moving emotional line, Du Yan can only prevent the tragedy from happening only by being vigilant at all times. In this era, the miscellaneous pendant is often used for love between men and women, so it is even more difficult to let this thing fall into Yuan Ning's hands.
"I can't give it to you if I want." Du Yan turned his hand and tied the miscellaneous pendant back to his waist.
"Sister, why?" Yuan Ning pursed his lips and asked unwillingly.
She is not an unreasonable person, but she just finds it strange that sister Fang Cai already had the intention of giving it, but suddenly changed her mind.
"This accessory is very important to me." Du Yan explained casually.
Of course, the speaker has no intention of listening, not to mention that Cheng Yu has a temperament that is more than thoughtful. I saw him froze slightly, and then walked out of the door as if nothing had happened.
Du Yan's thoughts were on Yuan Ning, but he didn't notice Cheng Yu's abnormality. He just looked at Yuan Ning: "You're not joking, what exactly did your mother say?"
Yuan Ning no longer bothered about this matter, and said bluntly: "Mother thinks that you have done too much, and worried that the king will punish you for it."
After speaking, Yuan Ning pouted again disdainfully: "I think my mother thinks too much. Sister, if you hit Yuan Jue, it must be Yuan Jue's fault, and the king will definitely not blame it."
Du Yan glanced at Yuan Ning. Under the protection of the queen and her, Yuan Ning didn't know the dark tide hidden on the calm surface.
Although she knew that the original king did not like the queen, and also knew that he did not really dote on her and her sister, but she knew nothing about the current crisis of the Wu family and the queen.
Du Yan didn't intend to let Yuan Ning know about this. She was too naive. After knowing the inside story, she was afraid that she would leak it out unintentionally, which would be fatal to the queen, Du Yan and even the Wu family.
He patted Yuan Ning soothingly: "Yes, Ning'er is right, the mother thinks too much."
Yuan Ning, who was assured by her sister, returned to her palace with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, the next day, King Yuan was furious because of Yuan Jue's incident.
When Du Yan walked to the Queen's Palace, it was already quiet inside, everyone was silent, only the intermittent whimpering could be heard, which sounded very sad and lovable.
At the top, sitting side by side are the original king and the queen. The original king's face was dark and dark, and there was anger in his eyes. The queen looked anxiously outside the palace.
Mrs. Hui, who was sitting on her knees, was crying like a pear blossom with rain. Yuan Jue, who was on the side, was a little distorted in her kneeling posture because of her arm injury.
The temple people raised their voices: "The eldest princess is here."
When Madam Hui heard the words, she stood up and said with her head raised, "Your Majesty, the prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The eldest princess beat my son for no reason. Please avenge my concubine."
Du Yan turned a blind eye, walked up to the original king, and bowed: "Your Majesty."
Although King Yuan's face was dark, he didn't attack on the spot, but asked, "Mrs. Hui said you beat Yuan Jue in the street, do you agree?"
Du Yan responded: "This is true."
"Is there an argument?"
"none."
Perhaps it was Du Yan's arrogant and domineering attitude that finally touched the bottom line of the original king. He slapped the table and said angrily: "Yuan Yan, as the eldest princess, you disrespect your father and love your younger brother. Today, you will be punished according to the law."
Du Yan was not afraid at all, he knew that the original king was just being stern, and now that the general is still in the frontier, the Wu family is still powerful. At this critical moment, he would not offend the queen too much.
Du Yan can guess one or two reasons why the original king did this. Recently, the original king's actions have been frequent, and the Wu family has been alert. He used this to appease the queen to show that he is still in favor of the Wu family.
Lifting it up high and putting it down gently is in line with the original king's bottomless doting on the eldest princess.
When the queen speaks, the original king will borrow the donkey to end today's farce.
Du Yan interrupted Yuan Jue's hand, of course, not only to vent his anger, but Yuan Wang's reaction was also in his plan.
Even if he interrupted Yuan Jue's hand, the original king still favored him, which would definitely make Mrs. Hui feel even more resentment with Yuan Jue, and then she would do something irrational with the slanderous words of her confidant servants.
Du Yan didn't want to be too angry with the original king, so he knelt down and bowed his head, "I don't know how the king wants to punish him?"
Seeing that Du Yan's submission was soft, the original king said, "A fight in the street has caused serious injuries, and you should be 30 sticks according to the law. But I think you are a daughter, and you have a good attitude of admitting mistakes. Change to 30 whips, and you can obey."
It was only thirty lashes, and by the time the queen opened her mouth, ten lashes would probably be enough. Furthermore, the executioners were all veterans, and knowing the severity of the attack, Du Yan didn't take the mere dozens of whips to heart at all.
The queen was about to open her mouth to dissuade her when she heard Cheng Yu, who was following behind Du Yan, say, "Your Majesty, Young Master Jue's hand was accidentally interrupted by me, and it has nothing to do with the eldest princess."
The King Yuan's eyes narrowed and he looked at Chengyu: "Young Ziyu, I know that you have close contacts with Yan'er. Yan'er has always been willful and reckless, and you should be taught a lesson. You don't have to take the blame for him."
Du Yan got up in anger and shouted: "Cheng Yu, what I did, it's not your turn to be a slave to take the blame!"
The queen got up, hurried to Du Yan's side, and grabbed him: "Yan'er, pay attention to your identity."
She seemed to be comforting the other party, but in fact, she was quietly writing on his palm with the cover of her sleeves.
Du Yan has a special status. When the mother and son discuss important matters, they are worried that the walls will have ears, so they often communicate in this way. The two secretly have a simplified set of characters to convey messages.
Du Yan pretended to be impatient and turned his head away, but he was actually identifying the handwriting written by the queen.
"The executioner, Madam Hui, may be exposed."
Du Yan's eyes sank and he fell silent. The queen meant that the person who executed the execution was Mrs. Hui's person, and if something went wrong, it would be revealed that he was a man.
His identity involved too many people, and he really couldn't make mistakes at this juncture.
Seeing Du Yan quiet down, Cheng Yu knelt down and bowed his head: "This is indeed what I did. The eldest princess is worried that I will be punished, so she doesn't want to argue."
Cheng Yu suddenly appeared guilty, just in line with the original king's intention, so he stopped investigating and said: "If this is the case, it is as you said, and the punishment should be taken by you. What's the argument?"
"No." Cheng Yu responded.
Yuan Jue suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Father, Gong Ziyu is a native of the country, and the laws of our country do not apply. Jue thought that the 30-thirty stick can be avoided, but beating the prince in the street is a serious crime, and he still needs a small punishment and a big admonition. ."
"It makes sense." Yuan Wang nodded, "Let's hear it."
Yuan Jue stood up, walked around Cheng Yu unhurriedly, and then said, "Why don't you just punish him for breaking the same hand?"
Du Yan frowned, but was stopped by the queen again. He froze for a moment, but finally did not speak.
The temple man who did it was a veteran of execution, and he started neatly.
Hearing a click, Cheng Yu turned pale, groaned, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The original king is also not good. Mingli treats the protons of the allies too harshly, so he waved his hand and asked the medical officer to come forward and bandage.
A farce with different thoughts and purposes has ended.
When Du Yan and Chengyu left, he turned around and glanced at Yuan Jue, and met the other party's smug look.
He suddenly curled his lips slightly and said three words silently: "You wait."
