Chapter 37: 37

Chapter 37 Entering the court as a Prime Minister

Taking advantage of Yan Tenghua’s inattention, Liu Yuzhen pulled his hand back and sat far away.

Yan Tenghua glanced at him blankly, lowered his hand, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breath.

When Yuzhen saw that he really didn’t mind, he felt a little uncomfortable. As the Falcon decided to not be naughty and not cause trouble, it was definitely a wonder to the world. Zipei was injured, Yuelan ran away again, and the days after returning to Great Yan were expected to be boring to death.

He looked out the window silently. The number of attendants and maids accompanying them were few, and none of them looked more interesting.

Damn, why did he agree to Emperor Yan’s proposal? This man’s words are not reliable at all.

About a day’s worth of traveling, they finally arrived at Great Yan’s border town at night.

Yuzhen was so awake that he couldn’t be anymore awake, the turbulence was enough to deprive him of all drowsiness but fortunately he survived until they reached the city gate. He saw soldiers strictly standing on guard, all standing upright, and when they saw their carriages approaching from a distance, a soldier immediately sent out a message.

It was the closing time of the day. Naturally, the soldiers had to check every layer if one wanted to enter the city, but because it was the Emperor’s carriage, the soldiers who came out were not there to do a check, but to warmly welcome them.

Yuzhen was picked up by the attendants, and a burly general looked up at him with a puzzled look, thinking, since when did a person brought by the Emperor be able to get this kind treatment.

Dressed in a glorious attire, although he had been exposed to some hardships on the way, Liu Yuzhen was still in high spirits.  After getting out of the carriage, he slowly followed behind Emperor Yan, looking around as he walked, habitually familiarizing himself with the surrounding guards and the environment. This was his with occupational disease. The first reaction was to see where the best way to escape was and where the guards were the most lax. He never needed others to make him feel safe.

“Open the city gate. Go and report the news of the return of this King and the Prime Minister.” Emperor Yan stood up with his hands clasped behind his back and then strode ahead.

The garrison heeded the order and waved his hands to his subordinates.

Knowing that he was the Prime Minister, the general’s defenses relaxed. The idea that a literati was not his opponent stripped him of his vigilance, but he unexpectedly met Yuzhen’s dissatisfied eyes.

Liu Yuzhen was very stunned. Why did Emperor Yan announce him as the Prime Minister? Did he not want to hide his identity anymore?

 “Hey, aren’t you afraid of Liu Ling coming to me again if you revealed that I’m here?”

Emperor Yan looked back, and the color in his eyes was that of indifference. 

“The Prime Minister does not need to guess what this King wanted to do. You just need to remember our agreement.”

“You!” Just amazing! Saying and changing whatever he wants to. Yuzhen bit his lip and said nothing, staring at him with annoyance and not knowing where to go. His clenched fists wanted to punch him so badly.

Okay, just go and follow, but that’s the Prime MInister Liu’s patent. Liu Yuzhen doesn’t want to be your Prime Minister.

In fact, he knew that he would definitely be laughed at to death if he spread his big nonsense ability out. He didn’t know anything about ancient times, therefore it was no joke to let him be the Prime Minister.

After entering the capital, Emperor Yan did not go back to the palace with him, but ordered Prime Minister Liu to be sent back to the Prime Minister’s residence in the palace first. The Prime Minister’s residence was built within half a month while being in a coma. In fact, it was correct to say that while other palaces would naturally be rebuilt, it had never been set as a precedent for the Prime Minister’s residence to be located near the Emperor’s Palace, which increased many people’s imagination. But Yan Tenghua’s appearance showed that he doesn’t care about others’ eyes at all.

Yuzhen didn’t ask him where he was going or what he was doing. It didn’t matter where Yan Tenghua liked to place him, he didn’t have any special requirements anyway, as long as he could eat well and sleep well.

In this way, neither of them looked at the other, and each went their own way.

When Yuzhen heard that he was going to follow the attendant back to the palace first, he immediately turned around and wanted to get inside the carriage. He had no opinion at all. He was a very compliant person, moreover, he doesn’t like seeing Yan Tenghua very much now.

“Prime Minister, please get in the carriage.” In front of him, there was a maid who greeted him respectfully, which made Yuzhen stunned for a moment.

“Who are you?” He looked at this strange woman curiously. He felt very strange without Yuelan following along. He hated class and rank the most, and he didn’t like these low-spirited servants, but he couldn’t change them casually.

The woman was dressed in pink as a servant, and there was almost no difference between the other maids. Hearing Yuzhen’s question, she raised her head and looked at him in surprise, looking flustered. “Pei Huan, an accompanying maid.”

“Oh.” Liu Yuzhen scratched his head and looked at Yan Tenghua hesitantly. He had never seen this woman before. Whether the time where he got into a carriage or when he fled from the palace, he had never seen this woman. Should be one that sneaked inside and disguised as a servant, but if something were to really happen, it was estimated that she would die.

 “Let’s go then! Bring the luggage back first to settle down.”

“Yes.” Pei Huan bowed her head again and sent him onto the carriage.

Just after Liu Yuzhen got into the carriage, Yan Tenghua turned around leisurely and wandered around on his horse.

Xiao Zipei’s carriage followed Yuzhen’s carriage and quickly left the city gate and entered the palace.

The new residence was built like a splendid palace, with golden bricks and jade tiles. Beads and jasper, light and elegant gauze curtains could be seen everywhere. There were small bridges and the flowing water was filled with swimming golden scaled fishes. The place was as luxurious as a villa where rich people live. 

What a wealthy tyrant. It would really be a waste not to live a life like the First Emperor of Qin until he dies.

Liu Yuzhen walked around the Prime Minister’s Mansion and sat idly in the outdoor pavilion. In the center of the four cornered pavilion was a soft couch like seat, surrounded by a small pool of flowing water. A green curtain hung down covering the inside of the pavilion. It was very charming.

Of course, Yuzhen didn’t sleep there because it was charming. He just didn’t like closed places. Even when he was in his apartment before, his door and windows were almost open 24 hours a day. He liked spacious and bright places and he liked being casual and free, which was why he had to run away. However, he was badly shaken when he heard a change of environment.

Yan Tenghua didn’t lie to him. The servants quickly served him a table full of delicious food. There were all kinds of snacks and staples, which were no worse than the modern Manchu and Han banquets.

En, it’s delicious, a really preferential treatment for prisoners.

Yuzhen rubbed his stomach with contentment, and when looked up, he saw the pink-clad Pei Huan holding a plate on the other side of the gauze curtain.

He sighed, narrowed his eyes, supported his head with one hand and said, “Pei Huan, you can leave now.”

“Prime Minister, what does this mean? Do you despise Pei Huan?” Peihuan fell to her knees with a “thud”, and couldn’t help crying.

This girl was daring. Although he doesn’t know what she wants to do, with his keen eyes for judgment, all of this just made him want to laugh. He thought it was no big deal, but since the incident with Yuelan, it was obvious that ancient times were no safer than the modern times, so it would be better to warn them in advance.

“I don’t. But don’t hang around and annoy me.”

The Falcon’s were sharp and cold. This chilling gaze was the last warning, and any lies and hidden intentions will be revealed under this pair of eyes.

From Yuzhen’s view, Pei Huan was obviously frightened, she shivered, and shrank her body. Her voice was low, but Yuzhen could still hear it.

 “Yes… this servant knows.” After speaking, she left his sight.

Yuzhen didn’t care where she went, but after withdrawing his gaze, he was even more confused. The pair of eyes he had were both God-given and acquired. He could see everything clearly, but the more clearly he could see, the more fearful he became. Why was the emotion hidden behind Yan Tenghua a love full for him, the kind of love that surpasses any brotherhood.

He didn’t know what kind of mentality Yan Tenghua had to be able to show his love for him, but it did exist.

The more I see it, the more deeply I get caught up in it. I wonder if I can just forget about him.

Thinking of Yan Tenghua’s announcement of his identity as Prime Minister, he always felt that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
