    83. My Emperor Satisfies His Subject's Heart

    Hearing His Royal Highness King Yu's words, Li Han was stunned for a moment, then obediently answered yes, and then took off his cloak silently.

    Although Pei Nianyu minded him wearing the clothes Lou Yefeng gave him, after all, he wouldn't let the injured Li Han really freeze.So instead of calling the servant girl, he sent the shadow guard near Calm Heart Lake to fetch a cloak from the warehouse.

    The shadow guard came and went lightly, and the shadow guard was always very efficient in handling things, so he took it in just a moment.Pei Nianyu handed him:

    "This one is made of river otter fur, and it has never been worn by anyone. It is warmer than the one Ye Feng gave you. After all, he has been wearing the one Ye Feng gave you for many years, so he is reluctant to throw it away. It has lost a lot of hair..”

    Li Han should be, and tied the cloak casually.The cloak was a deep indigo color, and after he put it on, he gave off a cold and serious chill for no reason, which matched Li Han's temperament quite well.

    Seeing that he looked good in this dress, Pei Nianyu said again:

    "This cloak... will be given to you after you wear it."

    ——Actually, the main purpose was that he didn't want Ye Feng to wear the cloak that Lin Han wore, and he didn't lack this kind of clothing in his house.

    But he also knew that for Li Han, the shadow guards without special care from their masters, there would be no shortage of standard uniforms distributed on weekdays, but such clothes with a more personal style... I am afraid that Li Han has no time to make people alone.Do.

    Li Han was stunned for a moment. Since Pei Nianyu personally gave the cloak, it was considered a gift from the prince.So he quickly knelt down and said:

    "My subordinate thank His Royal Highness King Yu for giving me the cloak."

    Pei Nianyu watched him finish the full set of thanksgiving etiquette belonging to the shadow guard with meticulous movements, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.After all, it's not his own loyal dog...

    However, after Li Han got up, he smiled wryly in his heart.

    When he was meditating by the lake earlier, he was planning what he should do in the ten days in the palace. He didn't expect that he had just made up his mind, but Pei Nianyu disrupted the plan.

    To be honest, he didn't want His Royal Highness King Yu to show... too much care for him.

    Of course he still remembered the three days when he was recuperating in the palace, his master took the imperial doctor to visit him, but he accidentally discovered the medicinal food given to him by His Royal Highness King Yu in return...

    How ugly that face is.

    Judging from Li Han's experience of serving his master for many years, it is a kind of annoyance directly floating on the surface and... a kind of... awkwardness that he can't understand?

    It's not going to be a good mood anyway.

    So Li Han drew a conclusion from his master's expression many times—his master doesn't like to see His Royal Highness King Yu taking care of him.

    It is not difficult to guess, he Li Han is the confidant of His Majesty's confidant.He has held so many master's secrets in his hands for many years but still lived well until now, maybe because he is a lone minister and never has the slightest contact with other people.

    Even if Pei Nianyu and his master are close as brothers, his master will naturally not be happy to see him have any extra friendship with His Royal Highness King Yu.

    Li Han was able to come to this conclusion, thanks to the fact that Pei Niancheng never hid his expression and anger when talking about his brother, which was completely opposite to those courtiers.

    Therefore, Lin Han, who thought he had understood his master's mind, made a secret decision just now - His Royal Highness King Yu must not let him take care of him in these ten days, otherwise if the master finds out after ten days...Isn't something going to happen?

    However, His Royal Highness King Yu's temperament is really overflowing with benevolence. If the prince condescends to care about him, can he still refuse?Wouldn't that mean not giving the prince face.

    The current strategy is to make the prince give up taking the initiative to care about him. Naturally, only what he does can make the prince disgusted.No matter how kind the prince is, he will not condescend to care about a person he hates.

    Then he will be quiet.

    Looking at the bare and frozen lake, Li Han thought of something, and his eyes gradually became a little dazed with the empty lake light.

    His Royal Highness King Yu...Master...

    He closed his eyes, and suddenly felt a chill hit his whole body, and it went straight to his heart.

    Seeing that he suddenly trembled for some reason, Pei Nianyu thought he was frozen when he took off his cloak just now, so he couldn't help but feel apologetic.So he poked Li Han, put the dim sum box in his hand on the stone table in the pavilion, and pushed it forward:

    "I brought some dim sum, Li Han, would you like to try it?"

    The snacks in that box were freshly made and still warm.There are a few quicksand sesame crisps inside. The ginger-yellow skin has just been baked, and it is crispy and slightly puffed up. The sesame salt is sprinkled on it. It looks and smells extremely crispy.

    He thought Li Han would definitely eat it, so he chatted casually while pushing it over:

    "Speaking of which, what are you doing by the lake so early in the morning? Although the yard you live in is close to here, why is it not easy to conceive..."

    Unexpectedly, Li Han first answered his question respectfully:

    "His Royal Highness King Yu, this subordinate is here because last night, when Deacon Lou was delivering herbal meals to his subordinates, he invited his subordinates to watch you practice martial arts, so as to discuss with him what are the moves and exercises he designed.Inadequacies."

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    last night?Send medicinal food?Invite him to discuss?

    With the hand that pushed the snack out, he silently took the snack box back, and snapped the lid on.

    Li Han looked at Pei Nianyu's movements with a blank expression on his face, just pretending not to see.

    Pei Nianyu held back for a long time, but still couldn't hold back, and then asked sourly: "Ye Feng, he has a good relationship with you..."

    Li Han nodded and said:

    "Everyone is their own master, and it's not so good..."

    Pei Nianyu felt a little more comfortable.

    "...It's just that when I was in the Shadow Guard Camp, my subordinates and Deacon Lou were the best in every subject, so I often discussed martial arts with him and so on..."

    Pei Nianyu's Shu Tan was gone and never came back.

    He choked for a moment, thinking that this is the friendship that only belongs to the masters... It's no wonder that Ye Feng invited Lin Han to come over and learn about the moves together.

    Thinking of this, Pei Nianyu couldn't help but feel a little depressed - it's a pity that his talent in martial arts is completely scum, and his family Ye Feng has no common language with him on this.That's why Ye Feng didn't even talk to him directly.

    Alas, is he despised?

    Then Pei Nianyu asked curiously:

    "As far as I know, doesn't your Shadow Guard camp eliminate a group of people every year? I heard that the competition among each other is quite fierce. Under such an environment, can you and Ye Feng have a good conversation..."

    Li Han seemed to be a little cold. He gathered the sides of the cloak, wrapped himself up, and said calmly:

    "Yes, the one at the bottom will be eliminated. But we have never been eliminated, so... In fact, one of the things I often discuss with him is who is going to go out this year..."

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    He looked at Li Han's paralyzed face, and felt unprecedentedly—this guy is so fucking pretending to be 13!

    You are amazing, you are amazing, you and Ye Feng are both big bosses, that's fine.

    Pei Nianyu ground his molars, thinking that this guy had just been injured, so he resisted the urge to beat him up.

    He squinted at Lin Han, seeing this guy wearing the cloak he gave him and looking coolly at the lake view, he wondered if he could please leave.However, he was invited by Lou Yefeng, so it's fine if he took off the cloak Ye Feng gave him, and it's too unreasonable to invite him away...

    Just as he was thinking, suddenly a shadow guard in black came to the lakeside accompanied by another shadow guard from his palace.

    When the shadow guard saw Pei Nianyu, he greeted him directly:

    "My subordinates will see His Royal Highness King Yu."

    Pei Nianyu knew that this was definitely not the shadow guard in his mansion - because there was still a subtle difference between this person's clothes and the shadow guard in his mansion, so he couldn't help being stunned:

    "You are……?"

    The shadow guard raised his head:

    "Subordinate Fang Heng."

    Pei Nianyu continued to be stunned:

    "Oh, it's you... What are you doing here?"

    Fang Heng was at a loss for words, Lord Xindao is really an eminent person has short memory, don't remember it in just a few days.Quickly explained:

    "Returning to the lord, the subordinates ran into the lord in the palace before, and you punished the lord... to practice moves for you while you are practicing martial arts..."

    "oh, I see……"

    Pei Nianyu thought about it, thought about it, and finally couldn't help but ask:

    "...Is there such a thing???"

    Fang Heng: "..."

    Li Han was also speechless for a moment, and finally said:

    "It's true. Your lord, you may have ordered it casually and then you forgot."

    "Well... the problem is that I haven't learned any moves yet, Fang Heng, why don't you go back first?"

    Li Han stopped Pei Nianyu:

    "No, this kid has been sloppy in martial arts recently, so he lost to you after three moves. Your lord, let him practice with the shadow guards of your mansion first these few days."

    Fang Heng was very upset after hearing this.After all, Li Han is the leader of Fang Hengzheng'er's Eight Classics. Now his leader criticizes him for not being good at martial arts in front of the prince, and even tells him to practice with the shadow guards of the palace... Isn't this a clear satire that his level is too low.

    After all, these shadow guards are well aware of the level of each place, and the overall martial arts level of the shadow guards in the palace should be higher than that of other houses.

    Even if the shadow guards of King Yu Palace are all elite soldiers, they are much stronger than other places.But theoretically speaking, the shadow guards of the palace who have been idle for three years are still inferior to those in the palace who are still tense every day, and Fang Heng is still a team leader of moderate size.

    Fang Heng looked at Li Han aggrievedly, Li Han was still paralyzed and unmoved, but Pei Nianyu was very happy:

    "That couldn't be better. Ye Feng hasn't dealt with them for two or three months since he lost his martial arts. Fang Heng, you go and practice with them, so that they don't forget how much they are."

    "...Yes, this subordinate takes orders."

    Fang Heng had no choice but to use lightness skills, and began to find people to provoke him aimlessly in this mansion.

    As for who took care of the provocation in the end... that's another story.

    By the lake, Pei Nianyu looked at the time and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled:

    "Hey, hasn't Ye Feng come yet? Could it be that he practiced for a long time today?"

    Li Han was still facing the lake and didn't know what he was thinking, but he was not surprised by the "making the master wait for his subordinates to wait for a long time" in King Yu Palace, so he closed his eyes and replied:

    "My lord, you might as well exercise your muscles and bones before he comes, such as practicing a set of basic palm techniques."

    Pei Nianyu thought about it, he had learned the basic palm techniques, Lou Yefeng taught him when he first started practicing martial arts.However……

    "Uh, this king has already completely forgotten..."

    Li Han: "..."

    He shook his head and said nothing.

    ………………

    However, Lou Yefeng actually used the medicinal diet in advance and finished his exercises.At this moment, it was He Qi who was about to change shifts and go back to sleep after finishing the night watch:

    "Commander He..."

    He Qi was taken aback, since when did Lou Yefeng call him this, he asked:

    "What's the matter with the teacher?"

    "Well, it's actually like this."

    Lou Yefeng seemed to feel unsure whether He Qi would agree, hesitated for a moment before saying:

    "I want to ask... do you have a ruler?"

    He Qi was even more surprised:

    "Of course not! It's long past the time for the prince to go to school, and the mansion has never invited a gentleman, let alone a son who wants to study, so how can there be a ruler?"

    "Even if there is, it won't be with me, the shadow guard. I only have this here—"

    After finishing speaking, He Qi pulled out a jet-black strip-shaped object less than two feet long from the back of his waist, and handed it to Lou Yefeng.

    Lou Yefeng took it over, touched the material, and frowned.This thing is slightly flexible, it can be bent, but it can't be bent too much, it's neither a ruler nor a piece of wood.

    "This is... a thorn stick?"

    "yes."

    This short thorn stick is well-made and smooth, and it is not as serious and terrifying as the real torture whips in the torture hall.

    Lou Yefeng raised his eyebrows:

    "Old He, what are you doing with this thing?"

    "cough……"

    He Qi couldn't help coughing at first, and then said solemnly:

    "Recently, Li Han came to our house. Once this guy gets injured, I think it will make our master pay more attention. I took this thorn stick to punish those gossiping shadow guards..."

    "...In other words, let them watch less excitement."

    Then he patted Lou Yefeng's shoulder:

    "Old building, I'm doing this for your sake, so as to save those gossips from getting into your ears."

    Lou Yefeng patted his hand off expressionlessly, and stuffed the thorn stick into his sleeve:

    "Confiscated."

    Seeing that he was about to leave with it, He Qi suddenly had a heartbroken expression on his face, and quickly grabbed him:

    "Old building you... what hobby do you have! What are you doing with me!"

    "I really want to use it, lend it to me for two days."

    He Qi was startled, his thoughts turned, and he took a deep breath:

    "Old building you! You will not be teaching master martial arts...!"

    "……Ok."

    Lou Yefeng nodded and nodded slightly.

    He Qi frowned suddenly.

    This short thorn staff, in terms of its appearance design alone, does not have any lethality, it all depends on whether the user uses internal strength or not.If you don't use internal force, although the damage is far worse than the whip or vine that can't be used for real punishment, but...but that's the prince!

    Not to mention that it is a sin to let the prince scratch a little bit, but the act itself is a real crime.

    Even when the princes were still young, the rulers used by the princes' masters were only more symbolic, just a light tap on the palm of the hand.

    Not to mention that the master is already a dignified prince who has really opened the mansion, how can he suffer such humiliation.And he, Lou Yefeng, was still teaching under the status of a shadow guard, and he was very different from those famous Confucian ministers who were teaching teachers.

    He Qi shook his head involuntarily:

    "Not right, not right, old building, don't mess around."

    Lou Yefeng's eyes were calm, as if his reaction was expected:

    "The set of exercises I want to teach is not simple. The master's martial arts talent is no better than you and me. If you still follow the master's temperament of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, when will you be able to practice it?"

    "I have no choice but to let the master feel a little bit of urgency in order to be effective in the practice. So I can only scare the master with him, and I won't really do anything. Old He, don't worry, I know it well."

    Seeing what he said, He Qi had no choice but to let go.After all, the relationship between the old building and the master is not a general master-slave, and he doesn't like to intervene too much.If it's just for deterrence...it's not a big problem.

    Lou Yefeng took the cane and rushed to Calm Heart Lake. He Qi slowly slipped back to his bedroom, thinking that his master is really good-tempered.The shadow guard dares to do such nonsense.

    ...Fortunately, Lou Yefeng is one of the few, but in the end it probably turned into the two of them flirting again.

    He Qi went into his own room, washed and changed clothes, got into bed and closed his eyes.

    Before falling asleep, he suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, thinking of one thing with horror on his face——

    When did Lou Yefeng, a daring fellow, ever know this in his heart?!

    I actually let him take the thorn stick, something is going to happen...
