Chapter 455 People Under the Eaves

Zhan Ruo wandered around the palace alone. He wanted to go to the Dazheng Palace countless times but couldn't bring himself to do it. So he went to the Imperial Garden instead. Unexpectedly, he soon welcomed another uninvited guest.

The Regent King had given instructions in advance, and Xie Jin had already told the commander of the Imperial Guards, so as long as Zhan Ruo didn't do anything bad, he could go wherever he wanted, so no one cared about him.

But Duanmu Yu had already inquired about his whereabouts. When he came out of the palace, it was already dark. The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and it was even colder than in the palace, making people shiver.

He was wearing a thick black fur cloak, and the whole person was wrapped tightly, but even so, he was still so cold that he couldn't help but tighten his collar. At one point, he almost wanted to give up the plan to go to the Imperial Garden to find Zhan Ruo.

He was afraid of the cold. The weather was too cold for him these two days. He caught a cold a few days ago and lay in bed for two or three days. After the empress learned about it, she felt very sorry and ordered the palace servants to send him charcoal fire. Only then did he feel better these two nights.

After taking a few doses of decoction, his condition improved slightly today, but Duanmu Yu didn't care about his physical discomfort and couldn't wait to know the current situation of various countries.

He had a lot of things to ask Zhan Ruo.

Have the Northern Frontier and South Vietnam really led troops to attack?

Who led the troops in the Northern Frontier? The Sixth Prince?

The Emperor of South Vietnam is going to marry the Queen of Dongling?

And the Regent of Xiqi, Lin Ao.

Duanmu Yu has been living in the palace for a while, and he is isolated from the news. What he cares most about is the political situation in the Northern Frontier. But it is so far away from him that it is not easy for him to know the situation in the Northern Frontier.

He can't ask others these questions, only Zhan Ruo can give him the answers.

Duanmu Yu wanted to know too many things, and he didn't want to wait any longer, so he found an opportunity and came directly.

He arrived at the Imperial Garden in the cold wind, walked along the palace corridor and asked the palace servants all the way, and then found Zhan Ruo in the huge Imperial Garden. The palace lanterns in the plum garden were bright. The young man in the cloud-colored cloak stood in the forest. His figure was slender and light. From a distance, it was unclear whether the plum blossoms blooming on the branches were more holy and flawless, or the cloak on his body was more cool and clean.

Duanmu Yu raised his hand to signal the guards following him to stop, walked towards the plum forest alone, and stood five or six steps behind Zhan Ruo: "Prince Zhan Ruo."

Zhan Ruo, who was thinking about life, frowned, unhappy that someone always disturbed him. He turned around and looked at the uninvited people irritably: "Are you done? You didn't give me a penny, but you always want to ask me questions. Aren't you annoying?"

Duanmu Yu didn't have time to say anything, and was stunned by the gunpowder-like words. After a while, he finally Smiled faintly: "Prince Zhanruo is in a bad mood?"

Zhanruo glanced at him: "Do you have medicine to cure bad mood?"

Duanmu Yu choked: "The little prince doesn't, but-"

"The Emperor of Northern Frontier is considering appointing another prince." Zhanruo restrained his anger and suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Why doesn't Prince Duanmu go back earlier to save the situation?"

Duanmu Yu's face changed: "What did you say?"

"This prince never likes to repeat the same thing twice." Zhanruo snorted coldly and gently stroked He looked at the ferret in his arms, "If you can understand, then understand. If you can't, it's none of my business. Don't bother me."

Duanmu Yu clenched his hands, and a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "The little prince has only been away from the Northern Frontier for more than a month, and he came here by order. There is no reason for the emperor to appoint another crown prince."

"Who said there is no reason?" Zhan Ruo looked at him with pity, "You set off from the Northern Frontier in mid-November, and it has been almost two months today. Don't you know how many things can happen in two months? What's more, your brothers are on par with you, and they are all eyeing the throne. If they find out that you are colluding with others and treason, do you think they will do nothing? I'm afraid they will definitely take the opportunity to pull you down from the crown prince position."

"Colluding with others, treason?" Duanmu Yu's face suddenly changed, "What do you mean by this? Who did the little prince collude with, and who did he collude with?"

Zhan Ruo frowned and looked at him unhappily: "Are you questioning me?"

His tone was really bad.

Yu State is just a small country. Beijiang only needs 50,000 soldiers to swallow up Yu State in an instant. As a prince of Yu State, Zhan Ruo really doesn't know where he got the confidence to talk to the prince of Beijiang like this.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Duanmu Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the intense emotions surging in his heart, and said in a gentle tone: "My prince is too anxious, I hope Prince Zhan Ruo will forgive me."

Forgive?

Zhan Ruo said indifferently: "I have no obligation to forgive you."

Duanmu Yu choked again, "That's not what I meant. My prince just wants to ask Prince Zhan Ruo about treason. Should Prince Zhan Ruo be joking with me?"

"You are so beautiful, is this prince interested in joking with you?" Zhan Ruo frowned more and more, thinking that this person was simply sick, "If there is nothing else, don't block my way."

So annoying.

He couldn't even enjoy the plum blossoms, and there were always annoying flies to disturb him.

Zhan Ruo turned around and was about to leave, but Duanmu Yu didn't want to let him go, so he stretched out his hand to stop him: "Prince Zhan Ruo, I have some questions to ask you. There is a warm pavilion over there. I wonder if we can sit down and talk?"

"No."

"I hope Prince Zhan Ruo can give me some face."

"Not interested."

"Prince Zhan Ruo——"

Zhan Ruo was annoyed and was about to lose his temper, but he suddenly thought of something. He stared at Duanmu Yu in silence for a moment, and said in a light tone: "You can talk if you want."

Duanmuyu felt relieved and raised his hand to signal: "Your Highness, please."

"Prince Duanmu has not seen Her Majesty the Queen for a long time." Zhanruo said, "As a prince of a country, staying in another country for a long time is a risk. The longer you stay, the greater the risk."

Duanmu Yu nodded: "The prince is right."

He had wanted to leave for a long time, but the Queen and the Regent would not let him go. With the few thousand guards he brought with him, it was not easy to leave Dongling.

Even if we can really leave Dongling safely, what will happen after we leave the border?

Duanmuyu was afraid of death, so he had many worries.

But for a person in a high position, living is more important than anything else.

Zhan Ruocai didn't care whether he was afraid of death or not. He just said lightly: "So you should say goodbye to Her Majesty the Queen earlier. It's best to leave Dongling early tomorrow morning."

Duanmu Yu was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "The prince is right, Xiao Wang really wants to leave as soon as possible, but Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent kindly persuaded Xiao Wang to stay, Xiao Wang——"

"They are so kind to ask you to stay, so you can't fight for the chance to leave?" Zhan Ruo frowned, looking at him as if he was looking at an idiot, "If the Queen and the Regent don't take the initiative to say goodbye, you plan to stay here forever. Go down?"

"I--"

"Then you can wait until the end of time." Zhan Ruo sneered, "Now they only care about the love between husband and wife. They have thrown you, an unimportant guest, out of the sky. Do you expect them to take the initiative to let you go? Maybe after the change of dynasty in Northern Xinjiang, Can."

Duanmu Yu was speechless.

Although this prince from Yu Kingdom has a bad temper and his tone of voice is really not pleasant to listen to, what he said is obviously the truth.
