Yan Yu watched the door of the warehouse being opened. Xiao Jue stood in the warehouse and personally counted the rare treasures collected by the East Palace over the years.
This is Xiao Jue's private treasury, and all his savings are here.
Yan Yu has been in the East Palace for so many years and has given birth to a child for the prince. This is the first time he has come to the warehouse.
Xiao Jue picked up an jade bracelet, turned around and asked Yan Yu who was standing at the door: "Look at this, does she like it?"
The smile on Yan Yu's face was stiff, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times before she said, "I'm afraid there are no women who wouldn't like it."
Xiao Jue was silent for a moment, and then looked at her with some boredom: "Zhen Zhen is different from ordinary women like you!"
He lowered his head again and began to count other things, asking Yan Yu from time to time if Qin Zhen would like this thing. After asking, it seemed that he didn't need Yan Yu's answer, so he just took care of himself.
Continue to clean up.
Seeing that he had sorted out all the things he liked and stored them separately, Yan Yu couldn't hold it back and asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing? Is it a wedding gift... selected for the princess?"
Xiao Jue looked over fiercely, his eyes were extremely cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Who told you this is a wedding gift?"
Yan Yu shivered: "Then, what is this?"
Xiao Jue was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Of course this is the betrothal gift for Zhen Zhen."
Yan Yu was shocked and almost incoherent: "Yes, but the princess has already made a marriage contract with the prince, and the wedding date is at the end of the month. She is already the princess, how can she accept the bride price from his highness?"
Xiao Jue sneered: "As long as she remains unmarried, she will no longer be Lou Yan's princess."
"This betrothal gift," Xiao Jue lowered his head and said slowly, "She has to accept it or not. She can only be my woman in this life."
Yan Yu took a breath of cold air.
She staggered and asked: "Your Highness...are you going to steal the bride?"
Xiao Jue remained silent and said nothing.
"Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed!" Yan Yu knelt down to Xiao Jue with a plop and said, "The marriage between the princess and the prince is a gift from your majesty. If you force the marriage, you are disobeying and disrespecting the emperor.
That's a serious crime. What's more, this move will offend the Qin family and Lou Yan at the same time, and I'm afraid it will be of no benefit to you."
After listening to Yan Yu's words, Xiao Jue felt even more bored.
"Ignorant stupid woman," Xiao Jue said coldly, "I don't need you to teach me what to do."
Yan Yu: "But Lou Yan has millions of soldiers, how could he let His Highness snatch his princess and do nothing? Your Highness, for your great cause, you should win over Lou Yan and use his millions of soldiers
If you take it for your own use, how can you offend him because of your children's affair..."
"Who is he?" Xiao Jue raised his hand and swept down the candlestick next to him, and said sternly, "It's just a dog I once fed. I have never taken him seriously."
"So what if he holds millions of soldiers?" Xiao Jue said word by word, "I am the prince, his king, and his heaven. The soldiers under his command must also regard me as their master. How can I
Are you afraid of him?"
Yan Yu: "But..."
"Get out!" Xiao Jue said sternly, "This useless thing will only make me angry if it stays here."
Yan Yu: "..."
Yan Yu's eyes were full of humiliation and unwillingness,
She originally thought that by watching Xiao Jue wake up, Xiao Jue would understand her feelings and give her some tenderness from now on.
But now it seems that everything is just my own delusion.
In Xiao Jue's eyes, he will never be as good as Qin Zhen, and will always be Qin Zhen's concubine. Everything he kindly gives to him is because of Qin Zhen's existence.
She was born a slave, so she was destined to be a slave for the rest of her life, unable to turn over.
Yan Yu slowly stood up and left the warehouse.
Before leaving, he looked back and saw that Xiao Jue had taken out the most valuable things from the warehouse and was preparing to give them to Qin Zhen.
And I, having served him for many years, have never seen anything like this.
Yan Yu withdrew his gaze, left here, and returned to his yard.
When her son saw her, he staggered towards her and hugged her, shouting in a sweet voice: "Mother Concubine."
Yan Yu: "..."
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Only when no one is around, her son can call her "Mother and Concubine", and usually he would not dare to do so in front of outsiders.
Why?
Because she is just a nameless concubine, to put it bluntly, she is still a slave. And her son is the little grandson of the emperor and the master. As a slave, she is not qualified to be the mother of the master.
Therefore, she, Yan Yu, was not even qualified to hear her son call her mother in an upright manner.
Why?
Yan Yu hugged her son tightly and murmured: "Concubine Mother will not let all this be ruined. Concubine Mother will not let them take away everything that originally belonged to you."
She finally got to this point, and she must not lose her success because Xiao Jue acted stupidly for Qin Zhen.
If Xiao Jue really kidnapped his bride, his position as prince would be over.
If Xiao Jue is not a prince, then her mother's dream of honoring the world will be shattered, and her son will have nothing.
Only if Xiao Jue successfully ascends to the throne of God will her son be the prince.
Yan Yu gritted his teeth, stood up and walked out, heading straight to the Qin Mansion.
The concierge knew Yan Yu, after all, he left his own house.
Yan Yu said: "I want to see the princess."
The person guarding the door did not open the door, but said: "The princess said that she will never see you again."
"I really have something very important to see the princess," Yan Yu said anxiously, "Can you please go in and let me know, I really have something very important to see."
But the man remained unmoved: "The princess said she won't see you."
Seeing that the entanglement was useless, Yan Yu had no choice but to wait at the door, praying that Qin Zhen could go out and he could go up and say a few words.
When it got dark, Qin Zhen didn't go out. Instead, she saw a familiar figure entering the alley next to her.
Yan Yu was silent for a moment, then boldly followed.
Entering the alley, I followed a few steps forward and saw the familiar figure again.
Before he had time to think about what to do, the person in front suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared directly at Yan Yu.
In an instant, Yan Yu felt his scalp numb, and the hairs all over his body stood up instantly.
Although Lou Yan across from him didn't say a word, Yan Yu seemed to be able to read what he wanted to say from those cold eyes: kill you.
Yan Yu's legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
"My lord, your lord." Yan Yu moved his mouth, trying to maintain the surface calmness, but even his voice was trembling, "Slave, I have something to tell you. Please forgive me, lord."
Lou Yan looked at Yan Yu silently for a moment, then coldly uttered one word: "Say."
