Du Yan's hand rested on the door of the hall, and when he was about to push it open, he stopped.
Cheng Yu seemed to know what he was thinking right away, and said, "Don't worry, I didn't move anyone in the palace."
Du Yan glanced at Cheng Yu: "I know you're not a person who kills indiscriminately."
The Empress Dowager and Yuan Ning had already left the capital under Du Yan's arrangement and lived in seclusion in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Cheng Yu is not a tyrant who kills indiscriminately. As long as Du Yan does not flee, Cheng Yu will not go after them. In the future, the life of the two of them may be much more comfortable than in the palace.
Du Yan pushed open the door, and his eyes slowly widened. He thought that he might see a mess, or that there would be countless soldiers of the state holding halberds, but everything in front of him was different from what he expected.
Inside the palace, it was still orderly, except for the guards who were replaced by soldiers in national armor, there seemed to be no difference from the past.
Cheng Yu is maintaining the last bit of dignity for him as the king of a subjugated country. I have to say that this kind of thoughtfulness makes Du Yan feel a little bit in his heart. Although he had anticipated everything today, and he took the initiative to go to this ending, it was always good to be able to exit the stage without being too embarrassed at the end.
When Du Yan stepped out of the hall, the soldiers of the Chengguo didn't even move their eyes, as if their duty was to guard the palace.
"Let's go, I will send someone to prepare the things you are used to." Cheng Yu said, "Do you have a maid you are used to and want to take away?"
Du Yan asked, "Where are you taking me to?"
"I'll take you to Yicheng." Cheng Yu said.
Du Yan was a little surprised: "Yicheng?"
Yicheng is the new capital of Chengguo, within the territory of the original Jiangguo. It is inevitable that the capital of Chengguo will be moved. The original capital of Chengguo is too close to the southern end. After Chengyu dominates the world, it will no longer be suitable as the capital of the country.
Cheng Yu said: "Yicheng is a little warmer than here, but it still snows in winter. You should like it."
Du Yan said, "Whether I like it or not, I will spend the rest of my life there. Can I ask you one thing?"
Cheng Yu didn't know why, but seemed to be pleased by Du Yan's words just now, with a smile in his eyes: "But it doesn't matter."
"If there is nothing wrong with the people in the palace, let them stay in their homeland."
Cheng Yu nodded: "As you wish, come with me."
Du Yan followed behind Cheng Yu and walked out of the palace all the way. Outside the palace gate, he felt some sense of the end of the monarch.
Outside the palace gate, Cheng Yu's army was everywhere, with a chilling air blowing towards him. Directly opposite the palace gate, a carriage was parked.
Du Yan originally thought that it was Cheng Yu's carriage. Because the carriage was much larger than the ordinary carriage, and there were four horses pulling the carriage in front, which seemed to be the way the emperor traveled at that time.
Cheng Yu led him to the side of the carriage and signaled, "Take this carriage to Yicheng."
Du Yan raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise: "I thought there was a prison car waiting for me at that time."
Cheng Yu said, "How could you have such a ridiculous idea."
"That is in line with my current identity." Du Yan said, "Prisoner under the order."
Cheng Yu came over and said in a low voice beside Du Yan's ear, "You are indeed a prisoner at this moment, but not a prisoner under the order, but mine alone..."
Du Yan only felt itchy ears, and before Cheng Yu finished speaking, he gently pushed him away and took the initiative to board the carriage.
Cheng Yu was not annoyed, and followed Du Yan into the carriage.
The interior of the carriage was luxurious, with soft fur on the wide seat. Cheng Yu stepped forward and opened the hidden compartment under the car seat. There were neatly stacked pastries, books, and even a chessboard.
Du Yan's eyes stayed on the chessboard for a while, and then he heard Cheng Yu saying: "When you feel bored, call me, and I will come in and play chess with you."
Du Yan asked, "How about you?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I'll be riding a horse to protect you."
Du Yan also knew that in this situation, Cheng Yu was indeed not suitable for sharing a car with him.
***
Du Yan sat in the carriage and listened to the sound of the ruts rolling. The carriage is very stable, and there is almost no feeling of shaking. If the space is not narrow, it will almost make him think that he is still in the palace.
There is a reason why the carriage is so stable, Du Yan knew it a few days ago.
When he opened the side window of the carriage that day, he discovered the difference in the carriage. After the side window was opened, the outside was actually a fence made of pig iron.
Du Yan studied carefully along the fence and found that the skeleton of the entire carriage was probably made of pig iron, and then he used wooden boards to create the appearance of the carriage.
This is still a cage, no wonder four horses are needed to pull the cart.
Perhaps it was because Du Yan's side window had been open for too long, and Cheng Yu, who was in front of him, soon noticed his movement.
Cheng Yu reined in the reins, and let the horses under him advance in unison with the carriage: "Are you unhappy?"
Du Yan glanced at him: "This is a prison car, why did you make it so comfortable and luxurious
Cheng Yu said frankly: "This carriage is indeed a skeleton made of pig iron, but it is not a prison carriage. I am just worried that you will leave."
"I'm in such a situation now, how can I leave." Du Yan frowned slightly.
"In my heart, you will always be omnipotent. As long as you are willing, you can turn the clouds over the rain, and destroy a huge dynasty in a moment." Cheng Yu said somewhat vaguely.
"The lessons from the past are still vivid in my eyes. When I meet you, I dare not take it lightly."
Du Yan understood that his previous actions probably caused a lot of shadows on Cheng Yu's heart, which made him extremely cautious even if he had the upper hand.
He doesn't care whether the carriage is a cage or not, anyway, Cheng Yu is the leader of everything now, and Du Yan is completely at ease when he comes.
Referring to the fate of the fallen king in history, in order to appease the people, Cheng Yu would probably imprison himself. He is not a narrow-minded person, and he will not do anything to abuse the abolished king.
The carriage finally stopped, and the door that had been closed for a long time opened. Du Yan got off the carriage, got on the carriage again, and entered the palace with Chengyu all the way.
After a while, the two finally reached their destination. Du Yan looked at the palace in front of him, feeling a little confused.
The palace in front of him is judged by the standard and the same location. It should be the place where the monarch lives. What did Cheng Yu mean by bringing himself here.
Cheng Yu didn't seem to notice what Du Yan was thinking, and led Du Yan inside, somewhat like offering a treasure: "Do you think this place is still with you?"
Du Yan looked around and found that the decorations were very familiar, and they were all decorations of the original country. Staying in it now gives Du Yan the illusion that he has never been far from his original country.
"This is your residence, why did you arrange it like the original king's palace?"
Cheng Yu explained: "I have stayed in the original country for ten years, and now it is far longer than the time I stayed in the Cheng country. Now, the decoration of the original country has always made me more comfortable."
Du Yan didn't bother him either, and said bluntly, "Where should I live?"
"Here it is, I'll take you there."
Du Yan didn't move, frowning slightly: "This is the place where the king lives. My identity, living in the same hall with you, is too absurd."
Cheng Yu said, "It wasn't long before Cheng Guo moved the capital here, and the palace was not completely completed. Apart from this, there is no other place to place it."
Du Yan asked, "Then where does your wife and concubine live?"
Du Yan knew that Cheng Yu had not yet stood up. But for a monarch of his age, even if he has not established himself as an empress, the harem will have his wife and concubines.
Since there are female dependents, it is too absurd for him to say that there is only one place in the palace where people can live.
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "To tell you the truth, I'm in the same situation as you. I'm not married and I don't have a wife."
Seeing the displeased expression on Du Yan's face, Cheng Yu explained, "I won't ask you to stay here for a long time, but the residence prepared for you has not yet been completed, so I'll make you live here for a while, okay?"
Since the master didn't mind, Du Yan didn't bother anymore, and stayed in the side hall for the time being. It was only after nightfall that Du Yan was lying on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Since the reunion, Cheng Yu's attitude made him feel very strange. With the arrow in the original capital, Du Yan thought that the relationship between Tong Chengyu could be regarded as a renunciation.
However, after the capital of the original country was captured, Cheng Yu treated him so well that it was not like he was treating the emperor of a subjugated country. At that time, although Du Yan felt that something was wrong, he also convinced himself that Cheng Yu was broad-minded and would not care about his defeated generals.
After entering this Yicheng, Cheng Yu's behavior became more and more strange, what was the matter of bringing the captive king of the subjugated country to his own dormitory to settle down.
No matter how sluggish he is in emotional matters, Du Yan remembered that many years ago, when Cheng Yu regarded him as a daughter, he had expressed his heart to himself.
After Du Yan's recovery as a man, this matter was almost completely forgotten. He has always looked at the problem with the idea of a historical plot.
Now that he has taken off the burden, Du Yan feels that his thinking should be in a blind spot. If he looks at Cheng Yu's actions like Yuan Ning does, everything seems to be explainable.
Could it be that Cheng Yu wants to keep himself in captivity as a forbidden one? Historically, it has happened before that the princess of a subjugated country became the concubine of the king's harem.
Du Yan frowned, feeling that if Chengyu really planned like this, it would be absurd.
In any case, he couldn't accept that he was treated as a ban. Now that it is impossible to forcibly escape, the only way out is to kill the master of the dream, forcibly causing the dream to collapse.
The worst plan is to be forcibly taken away from this plane by Xiao Ba after making up for the damage suffered by the Dream Lord, and accept the punishment of imprisonment.
However, Du Yan thought about it in his heart, but felt that if he really wanted to kill Cheng Yu, it seemed that he would be a little unbearable.
The tangled Du Yan couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning all night.
