By decree and pro

Chapter 101

Yan didn't try to persuade him to stay, but just nodded.After Usman left, Feralas looked at Yan and said, "Is it true that the queen won't let the king go with her?"

"what happened?"

"The subject has never seen such a lonely look in the eyes of the emperor, like a puppy thrown on the side of the street..."

"He's not a puppy, he's the king of Xiliang, what can I do if I can't stand this little setback."

"That's right." Feralas nodded, and continued to explain some of the checkpoints he would encounter when going to Yancheng.

Yan looked at the map but thought in his heart: "I'll talk to him in the evening...but I might do something shameful."

Yan had a serious expression, and folded his arms and sighed secretly, "Forget it, don't worry about face tonight."

Feralas looked at Yan, thinking what he said was wrong?Why did the queen's expression become more and more solemn, which made him wonder why the priest's tower desperately urged the queen to investigate the seven ancient cities' ultimate purpose. Could it be that the queen noticed it?

No, it's impossible, I just recovered my memory, the queen must be thinking about other things.

Feralas comforted himself: "This is the end of the matter, and this is the only way to go on."

At night, Yan was fascinated by a pile of materials left by Feralas on the ruins of the ancient city. When he came back to his senses, it was already late at night, and there was no sign of Usman.

Yan suddenly remembered that he was the one who drove him away, saying that they would not share the same bed until his body was no longer uncomfortable.

Yan thought for a while, then woke up Ilya, who was sleeping soundly on the couch, and said to him: "Go and ask the king to come up."

"Ah?" Ilya was still waking up, not understanding what Yan said, so he asked, "What did Your Majesty do?"

"He didn't do anything." Yan coughed lightly and smiled, "Go and invite him, just say I'm hungry, let's have supper together."

"I'm hungry too." Ilya said, rubbing her round belly.

"You go to the kitchen to eat by yourself, don't come to serve me after eating, go to sleep by yourself." Yan patted his shoulder and urged, "Okay, go and invite you to come up."

"Okay." Ilya was about to go out, but suddenly remembered something and turned back, seeing Yan thinking about something with a smile on his face.

"Yan, you haven't said yet, what would you like to eat for supper, so I can tell the dining room."

"Whatever you want." Yan suppressed his smile and sat looking at the map.

"Okay." Ilya turned around and said back again, "Yan, would you like some wine to help you sleep? I think you have used your brain too much, and you must have chaotic dreams tonight."

"That's good, let the dining room prepare a bar." Yan nodded, thinking that he would not be so shy if he hypnotized himself with alcohol.

"Then you wait, I'll come as soon as I go." Ilya's legs and feet are very quick, and his mind is also clever. He finds the maid outside the door to pass the supper and wine, and runs to find the emperor himself. This can save time.

Yan continued to check the maps with red arrows and black arrows, and some places were marked with crosses or double crosses, representing uninhabited land, dangerous swamps and other dangerous places.

Yan and Feralas would avoid these points when planning each route, but they had to be careful.The more he discussed the details of the plan with Feralas, the more he understood that not letting Usman go was the right choice.For example, there are very few records about the ruins of the fourth and fifth ancient cities, because they are all located in remote corners, and no one has visited them for a long time. Even the map of Xiliang only marked such a place.The weather in the desert changes a lot. Today it is still a road, and tomorrow it will be a sand dune. No one knows what the situation is now.

"The map of Xiliang needs to be updated." Yan saw this problem, and decided to collect new terrain data for Xiliang while exploring.

Feralas repeatedly praised the queen, saying that he had intended it a long time ago, but he had no time to travel far.

It is said that even sand bandits don't bother to go to such a no-man's land, but Usman is vigorously suppressing bandits in the three caves of the cunning rabbit. Who can guarantee that there are no sand bandits or thugs hiding here?

So Yan repeatedly felt that it was right not to let Usman go.

If Usman was there, he wouldn't be able to rush in without any worries. Although he would still wipe out the bandits, he was always worried about bringing danger to Usman.

This is probably the biggest change in my heart after I have a sweetheart, that is-care for others.

"Shouldn't it be more courageous? Rush into the bandit's den and fight?" Yan tilted his head, suddenly a little confused.

The supper arrived on a solid gold tray.There are wine and meat, vegetables and fish, all of which are delicious in color and fragrance, and the kitchen also makes some sweet porridge, all of which are placed in beautiful bowls and plates.

Yan was not hungry at first, but his index finger twitched a little.

But Usman hasn't arrived yet, so we have to wait until he arrives before using our chopsticks, otherwise tonight's supper will be in vain.

Ilya came back with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Yan looked behind him, "Where are the Usmans?"

"Your Majesty said that there are many official documents to be approved today, let the queen rest first, and don't wait for him."

"what?"

"Yan, my expression at that time was also the same as yours now. Your Majesty, did you make a mistake? You actually turned down your invitation... Normally, you would come here in a hurry, and you can't even drive away."

"Forget it..." Yan finally understood that Usman was losing his temper.

"Then now?"

"Sleep." Yan sighed, "Isn't he busy, he is busy with his work, I will sleep with mine."

"Huh? Yan, aren't you hungry? Then you won't eat this supper? There are so many delicious things." Ilya stared at the dishes with dripping eyes, swallowing mouthful after mouthful of saliva , without rest.

"You eat, I have no appetite." Yan got up and went to the bedroom.

"Okay." Ilya was not polite, just sat down and let go of his stomach to eat.

Yan returned to the bedroom, rolled into the bed as if discouraged, and after being bored for a while, looked up at the pillow beside Usman sleeping on it.

"Hmph." Yan frowned, "I was afraid that you would not be angry, and I was the one who was justified, you are making trouble for no reason at all!"

Yan said and knocked on the pillow, and said like a declaration of war, "Usman, I just want to see how long you can see me? Even your little patience is not enough."

Not as strong as Elijah. "

Ever since Usman expressed his love in the fighting beast camp, he has been stalking him, and he has never been able to invite him when he invites him.

Soft, it must be Usman losing.

The next day, Yan got up early in the morning, but Usman still didn't come, but sent a table of breakfast from Yalta.

Yalta stood by the table, respectfully and with a smile on his face, said: "Queen, Your Majesty specially ordered this to be prepared by the dining room. You can eat it slowly. Don't wait for him. He has a court meeting today."

"Well, I see." Yan nodded, and Ilya looked at the breakfast table curiously.

There are mushroom stewed Cordyceps thick soup as white as milk, millet and jujube porridge that smells like dates from afar, steamed yam cake made into blossoming flowers, and some pickles to serve with porridge .

"Here," Ilya said suddenly, "Your Majesty knows that you stay up all night looking at those crazy maps, and the meals I passed on to you are all things that can clear away heat and relieve fire, nourish qi and refresh your mind."

After being reminded by Ilya, Yancai found that today's breakfast was more than usual, and there were no sauces and meat.

"Hmph." Yan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "Since you are worried that I will get angry and hurt you, you still dare not show up until the morning, so if you have the ability, just ignore me completely, and stop doing such cheap and obedient things."

Yalta was about to leave, Yan stopped him and said, "Where did your majesty sleep last night?"

"Queen, Your Majesty didn't go back to the bedroom last night. After approving the official document, he has been teaching Shuang Ya how to stand on his head." Yalta also showed a slightly puzzled expression at this time, "As for why he should let him learn to stand on his head, I don't know."

"Very good, please help me convey a word to your majesty," Yan said with a fake smile, "continue to play with Shuangya tonight, don't come here, I'm busy."

"Yes, Queen." Yalta withdrew.

"So, why did your lord let Shuangya learn to stand on his head?" Ilya asked Yan, scratching his head.

"The fire at the city gate just affected the fish in the pond." Yan muttered, "Shuangya has such a good temper, why didn't he bite him."

"Shuangfang has a bad temper, which can be fierce. But it will never hurt your majesty, nor will it hurt you." Ilya smiled brightly, "It's hard to tell others."

"Let's not talk about this, Ilya, you go and call Shen Fangyu, and just say that I have something important to discuss with him." On the list of arranging the expedition team, Shen Fangyu, the commander, is more experienced than him. Yan plans to start from today Just arrange it, because there are sufficient resources in the palace, maybe he can leave within ten days.

"Okay!" Ilya bounced away, Yan was still thinking about Usman's embarrassment, thinking about the sentence "I hope Shuangya will bite him", and couldn't help but regret what if it came true?Shuangya's teeth are so good, even if you bite off a big leg of lamb, it will be crunchy...

"Bah, bah, bah!" Yan made three vigorous bahs in succession, and then said solemnly, "What I said just now doesn't count, if Shuangfang really wants to bite, just bite me, but don't bite Usman, although his face is bigger than the city wall. It's still thick, but, his meat is tender, so you don't have to chew on it... Bah, bah, bah!"

"What I just said still doesn't count, don't bite or bite, in short, just pretend I didn't say it." Yan looked up at the ceiling, didn't he say that there are gods with their heads up three feet?

Yan seriously repented, and said that he would never say those unlucky words in the future.

When Shen Fangyu came, he saw Yan's expression was extremely serious, and he said that something bad had happened, so he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Your Highness."

"It's okay, I'm here because I'm going to visit the seven ancient cities buried in sand." Yan beckoned Shen Fangyu to sit down, "Let's talk slowly."

"You want to go out to explore?" Although Shen Fangyu has been focusing on the elite soldiers of the mission these days, he is still very concerned about the fact that Usman and the prince are in the same palace. He was very happy when he heard that the prince was leaving the palace, but then Here comes worry.

"Yes, the specific situation is like this." Yan explained to Shen Fangyu one by one the route map he had sorted out and marked. Shen Fangyu nodded frequently, and would bring up points he didn't understand.

After about an hour, Shen Fangyu understood what was going on.

"You are going to go deep into the most desolate place in Xiliang to visit the ruins of the ancient city. This is different from your first single-handed intrusion into Xiliang. The danger is immeasurable. I think I should make this trip."

"If I let you go, I will explain it." Yan looked at Shen Fangyu and said calmly, "I don't want to just get married, so I leave my newlywed husband alone and go to that remote place, so here Don't argue with me about this matter."

Shen Fangyu stood there in a daze, his face was as dark and hard as a stone carving, he seemed to be unable to recover for a while, Yan didn't rush him, just drank tea and sat and waited.

On the contrary, Ilya shook her head again and again, feeling that Yan was more cruel than the emperor, so she directly inserted a knife into Shen Fangyu's heart.

Although Shen Fangyu's people are standing here, the seven souls and six souls have long since dispersed.Ilya suddenly thought, maybe he fainted straight away?
