When Du Yan and the others stepped into the gate, they saw Yuan Ning coming out of the room.

Seeing Du Yan coming back, she stepped forward to meet her, and said with a smile, "Sister, you're finally back."

Now Yuan Ning and Du Yan are standing together, they don't look like twin sisters anymore.

Yuan Ning has a graceful figure and a beautiful face, and she already looks like a girl; while Du Yan is half a head taller than Yuan Ning, and her face is a bit more heroic than Yuan Ning's. Although her figure is tall, she doesn't have any curves. .

After putting on men's clothing, in the eyes of others, Du Yan is not so much Yuan Ning's twin sister, but her elder 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 sister, you beat Yuan Jue?"

Yuan Ning nodded, not shying away from Cheng Yu who was following Du Yan.Over the years, she has gotten used to this Chengguo proton following behind her sister like a shadow.

Although her elder sister often bosses Cheng Yu around, from Yuan Ning's point of view, Cheng Yu is mostly happy with it.After discovering this fact, she never asked her sister to stop bullying Cheng Yu again.

Du Yan didn't find it strange at all. As the queen is the master of the first palace, it's not surprising that the news spread to the palace quickly after he made such a big fuss.

The three of them walked to the sleeping hall together, and when they reached the door, Du Yan sent Cheng Yu to make tea, then they went in with Yuan Ning and sat down on the couch outside.

After Du Yan took his seat, he asked, "What does mother say about Yuan Jue?"

Yuan Ning blinked and showed 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 curled up his lips triumphantly.

Du Yan knows Yuan Ning very well, and she likes to collect all kinds of novelties in folk markets.

However, the queen felt that Yuan Ning was already 16 years old, and it was inappropriate to still look childish like this when she was about to marry.With the Queen's order, all the gadgets in the original Ning Palace were completely cleaned up.Even when she occasionally goes out, the things she buys are not allowed to be brought back to the palace.

Therefore, Yuan Ning secretly wanted to get some small toys to hide and play with, and the only source was Du Yan.

"I saw something here again, let's talk."

Yuan Ning pointed to the miscellaneous accessories on Du Yan's waist: "Sister, the miscellaneous accessories on your waist are really pretty."

Du Yan untied the jade from his waist, played with it for a while, saw Yuan Ning's eager eyes, and said with a smile: "Your eyes are quite sharp, but it's just that you are focusing on my new accessories right now."

Yuan Ning was a little shy: "I don't know why, but when I saw this string of miscellaneous pendants, I felt very satisfied."

"want to?"

As soon as Du Yan finished speaking, he saw a tray dropped on the table in front of him.

Cheng Yu, who was ordered by him to make tea just now, put down the tray at this moment.Maybe Du Yan was too sensitive, he always felt that the force of the tray falling was a bit stronger than usual.

Du Yan originally thought that if Yuan Ning really liked it, it wouldn't hurt to give it to her.Anyway, I am also a vicious character, and I snatched Cheng Yu's things and gave them to others, which fits the character very well.

However, Cheng Yu's appearance reminded him of one thing.

The relationship between Cheng Yu and Yuan Ning is the hero and heroine in the original plot of the movie who are stronger than Jin.Even if Cheng Yu scums Yuan Ning in the end, Yuan Ning's feelings for Cheng Yu were extremely complicated before his death, and he did not completely forget it.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 if he is always vigilant.In this era, miscellaneous pendants are often used between men and women to confirm love, so it is even more impossible to let this thing fall into Yuan Ning's hands.

"I can't give it to you if I want it." Du Yan turned his hand and tied the miscellaneous pendant back to his waist.

"Sister, why?" Yuan Ning pouted and asked unwillingly.

She is not unreasonable, but she just finds it strange that just now, my elder sister clearly intended to give a gift, but she suddenly changed her mind.

"This pendant is very important to me." Du Yan explained casually.

Of course, the speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart, not to mention that Cheng Yu has a temperament that is more than thoughtful.I saw him froze slightly, and exited the door as if nothing had happened.

Du Yan's mind was on Yuan Ning, and he didn't notice Cheng Yu's abnormality. He just looked at Yuan Ning: "I'm sorry, what did mother say?"

Yuan Ning no longer entangled in this matter, and said bluntly: "Mother thinks you are too harsh, and is worried that the king will punish you for this."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Ning curled her lips in disdain: "I think my mother is overthinking. Sister, you beat Yuan Jue, it must be Yuan Jue's fault, and the king will definitely not blame him."

Du Yan glanced at Yuan Ning. Under the protection of the queen and her, Yuan Ning did not know the turbulent undercurrent hidden on the calm surface.

Although she knew that the original king didn't love the queen, and that he didn't really love herself and elder sister, she didn't know anything 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 she knew the inside story, she was afraid that it would be leaked unintentionally. It would be a fatal disaster for the queen, Du Yan, and even the Wu family.

He patted Yuan Ning reassuringly: "That's right, Ning'er is right, the empress thinks too much."

Yuan Ning, who received her sister's guarantee, returned to her palace with peace of mind.Unexpectedly, the next day, Yuan Wang was furious because of Yuan Jue's matter.

When Du Yan walked to the queen's palace, it was already quiet inside, everyone was silent, only intermittent sobbing could be heard, it sounded very sad and very endearing.

At the top, sitting side by side are the original king and queen.The original king's complexion was dark, and there was anger in his eyes.The queen's eyes were anxious, and she frequently looked outside the hall.

Mrs. Hui, who knelt down at the head, was crying like pear blossoms and rain.Yuan Jue on the side was injured in his arm, and even his kneeling posture was a little distorted.

The eunuch raised his voice and said, "The eldest princess is here."

Mrs. Hui stood up when she heard the words, Jishou said: "My lord, the prince broke 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 saluted: "Your Majesty."

Although Yuan Wang's complexion was dark, he didn't explode on the spot, but asked, "Madam Hui said you beat Yuan Jue in the street, can you admit it?"

Du Yan replied: "This matter is true."

"Is there an argument?"

"none."

Perhaps it was Du Yan's arrogant and domineering attitude that finally touched Yuan Wang's bottom line. He said angrily, "Yuan Yan, as the eldest princess, you disrespect your father and love your younger brother. Today you must be punished according to the law."

But Du Yan was not afraid at all, he knew that the original king was just stern at this time, and now that the general is still at the frontier, the Wu family is still powerful.At this critical moment, he will not offend the queen too much.

Du Yan could guess one or two reasons why the original king acted like this.Recently, the original king made frequent moves, and the Wu family was vigilant. He used this incident to appease the queen, to show his continued favor for the Wu family.

Lifting it up high and putting it down gently is in line with Yuan Wang's unreserved pampering for the eldest princess.

When the queen speaks, the original king will use the slope to get off the donkey to end today's farce.

Du Yan broke Yuan Jue's hand, of course not only to vent his anger, Yuan Wang's reaction was also in his plan.

Even if he broke Yuan Jue's hand, Yuan Wang still favors him, which will definitely make Mrs. Hui and Yuan Jue feel more resentment, and with the slander from his confidantes, he will naturally do something irrational.

Du Yan didn't want to make the original king too angry, he just knelt down and said, "I don't know how the king wants to punish him?"

Seeing that Du Yan was subdued, the original king said, "Fighting in the street caused serious injuries. According to the law, it is thirty sticks. But because you are a daughter, and you have a good attitude of admitting your mistakes, change it to thirty whips. You can take it."

It's only thirty lashes, and when the queen speaks, ten lashes will probably be enough.Furthermore, the executioners are veterans, and they know the severity of the execution, so Du Yan doesn't care about dozens of lashes at all.

The queen was about to dissuade her, but Cheng Yu, who was following Du Yan, said, "Your Majesty, I accidentally interrupted Young Master Jue's hand, and it has nothing to do with the Eldest Princess."

Yuan Wang's eyes froze, and he looked at Cheng Yu: "Gong Ziyu, I know you have a close relationship with Yan'er. Yan'er has always been willful and reckless, and he should have learned some lessons. You don't have to take the blame for him."

Du Yan got up angrily, and shouted: "Cheng Yu, what I did, it's not up to you, a servant, to take the blame for what I did!"

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 secretly writing in his palm under the cover of her sleeve.

Due to Du Yan's special status, when the mother and son discuss important matters, they are worried that there are ears behind the wall, so they often communicate in this way.The two privately had a simplified set of characters for messaging.

Du Yan pretended to be anxious and turned his head away, but he was actually distinguishing the handwriting written by the queen.

"The executioner, Mrs. Hui, is afraid of being exposed."

Du Yan's eyes darkened, and he fell silent.What the queen meant was that the executioner belonged to Mrs. Hui, and if something went wrong, it would be revealed that he was a man.

His identity involved too many people, so he really couldn't make a mistake at this juncture.

Seeing that Du Yan had calmed down, Cheng Yu knelt down and said, "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 to take the blame, which happened to be in line with the original king's intentions, so he stopped pursuing the matter and said, "If this is the case, it is as you said, and you should be punished. You are a man, and you should receive thirty rods. You Is there any objection?"

"No." Cheng Yu replied.

Yuan Jue suddenly said, "Father, Gong Ziyu is from the Cheng Kingdom, so the laws of my original country do not apply. Jue privately thinks that thirty sticks can be avoided, but beating the prince in the street is a felony, and still needs a small punishment and a big commandment." .”

"That makes sense." Yuan Wang nodded, "Let's listen to it."

Yuan Jue stood up, walked around Cheng Yu leisurely, and then said, "How about punishing 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 eunuch who did it was a veteran of execution, and he was quick to do it.

Hearing a click, Cheng Yu turned pale, grunted, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The original king also didn't like Mingli treating the hostage of the allies too harshly, so he waved for the medical officer to come forward to bandage him.

A farce that each had their own thoughts and goals, ended here.

When Du Yan and Cheng Yu left, they turned around and took a look at Yuan Jue, who met his complacent gaze.

He suddenly hooked the corners of his lips lightly, and said three words silently: "You wait."
