"Brother Jiusheng, please let me go with you to find Brother Yu. I beg you!" The woman, kneeling on the ground, sobbed with tears streaming down her face. However, the man she was holding onto had a helpless expression on his face.

"Yuner, there's no use in you pleading with me! I promised the Emperor to protect you, and if you make any mistakes, I won't be able to justify it to him!" Jiusheng was also caught in a difficult situation. It took him nearly half a month to find a place to settle down. Before he could find Tang Yu, he was stopped by Yuner. This delay lasted for several days, and now half a month has gone by. All he knows is that Tang Yu has been taken to the Song Kingdom, and he knows nothing else."

"Jiusheng, if I don't follow you, how will you protect me and what will you say to Big Brother Yu if something happens to me in the future?" Yun'er wiped her tears. It had been days of coaxing and persuading, but since that didn't work, she had to resort to using her wits. As expected, Jiusheng's face showed some hesitation. Yun'er immediately seized the opportunity and continued, "I can ride horses and know some martial arts. I won't be a bother to you."

"Well then! If there's any danger, you should run first by yourself, and don't worry about anything else." Jiusheng hesitated for a moment and could only nod. If he didn't agree, he didn't know how much longer this would drag on.

"Yes, Big Brother Jiusheng, as long as you take me with you, I will listen to everything you say," Yun'er happily said, smiling at Jiusheng.

"You take a rest first, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning," Jiusheng shook his head helplessly, turned around, and walked away with his sword in hand. From a different perspective, he and Yuner were rivals in love, yet he had to protect her safety. It was indeed a bit strange to think about it.

"Big Brother Jiusheng, we agreed to leave together. Don't sneak away in the middle of the night," Yuner shouted from behind, her previous gentle and refined image completely shattered, now completely resembling a charming and adorable girl next door.

Got it.

The next morning, as soon as Tang Yu opened his eyes, he saw someone standing beside him. Seeing him getting up, the person quickly spoke, "Young Master, the people from the Bureau of Attire have brought the clothes."

"So fast?" Tang Yu said drowsily, thinking that he must have misheard. To think that his clothes were made overnight. It had to be said, this efficiency was really unusually quick.

"Most likely, a piece of clothing was rushed out overnight. Sir, please try it on first to see if it fits." The eunuch said to the door, "Come in." One after another, palace maids entered carrying clothes on trays. The clothes were a moon-white robe, and inside there were undergarments and outside, a fox fur coat and shoes, all present and correct.

Touching the fabric, Tang Yu knew that this clothing material was definitely not ordinary. The warmth coming from it surprised Tang Yu even more. This should be the luxurious fabric of Western Liang, known as "Light Cloud Silk". Song Jianglin actually used it to make clothes for him?

"His Majesty said that the weather in Northern Song is getting colder. Since the young master has come from Nankang, it is inevitable that he will have some difficulties adjusting in the next few days. We must take good care of him, and if the young master needs anything, he can simply report it." The old eunuch who appeared last night spoke again, but Tang Yu pretended not to hear and sent him away.

Sitting on the bed alone, facing the expensive clothes in front, unsure whether to wear them or not, in the end, they decided to put them on.

Just after putting on the clothes, I was hugged from behind by someone. Before I could struggle free, I heard the person behind me saying, "Yuer, you look really good in this outfit."

When Song Jiang realized that Tang Yu wanted to break free, he let him go. He couldn't help but carefully examine the man in front of him, who was as beautiful as jade. The more he looked, the more he liked him.

Tang Yu felt a little unnerved by his gaze. He looked at himself, noticing that his clothes were neat and intact, and he hadn't put anything on wrong. What did it mean for him to stare at him like that?

"I just came to see you and find out if there's anything that needs to be reported to me." After finishing speaking, Lin Shijiang hurriedly left.

"Your Majesty is truly concerned about the young master. As soon as the morning court ended, you rushed to meet him. Even Lord Jinghua has never received such treatment!" After Song Jiang left, the old eunuch came in and said a few more words. Tang Yu couldn't help but feel confused. He was always being mentioned alongside Lord Jinghua. Who exactly is Lord Jinghua?"

"Master, shall I prepare breakfast for you?"

"No need, just bring some snacks." Tang Yu hesitated for a moment and said, he woke up late and wasted a lot of time. The breakfast time had already passed, so it would be inconvenient to go and get breakfast at this time.

"Understood, Your Majesty." The eunuch smiled and went down to carry out the orders, closing the door behind him.

Tang Yu surveyed the room, which lacked the grandeur of other palaces. There was a main room in the east wing, along with two servant rooms. The garden was adorned with bamboo, offering a refreshing and elegant scenery that was pleasant to look at and comfortable to live in.

"Prince Jinghua!" Suddenly, a person outside the door shouted. Tang Yu got up, and the door was already pushed open. The person who entered was dressed in a green robe, with silky black hair falling lightly behind their back. With peach blossom eyes and two strands of hair hanging in front of their forehead, the whole person appeared enchanting, emanating a seductive aura.

He scanned the room, then his eyes landed on Tang Yu, taking a quick look up and down. Tang Yu exuded a subtle and refined aura, which strangely seemed to blend harmoniously with the atmosphere of this courtyard. With a displeased tone, he said, "So, you're the person that His Majesty brought back yesterday? It seems that His Majesty has arranged for you to live in such a remote place. How tranquil."

Tang Yu remained silent, looking at him with a faint smile, as if everything had nothing to do with him. The person standing in front of him seemed to be speaking but it was as though he wasn't.

"Our young master is speaking to you. Can't you hear?" the little eunuch who had followed him exclaimed fiercely.

Jinghua glanced displeasingly at the eunuch who was speaking, and the eunuch immediately shut up and retreated to the side. Then, Jinghua shifted her gaze towards Tang Yu, and with a faint smile on her face, she said, "Your Majesty, in the past, you have brought back many people, but I have never seen anyone as arrogant, disrespectful, and conceited as you."

"Touche." Tang Yu suddenly uttered a few words, smiling at Jinghua as if watching a jumping clown.

"You..." Jinghua gritted her teeth, then regained her composure. "As long as I say a word, I can make you leave the palace. It's better for you to be polite to me."

"So much the better, Tang Moyu doesn't like it here either." Tang Yu answered with a calm expression. He never liked the palace in the first place. He had wanted to die with the country, but unfortunately he was captured instead. He felt that dying like this would be disrespectful to his ancestors, so he chose to stay alive.

It seems that you still don't understand His Majesty. The one thing he hates the most is disobedient people. I predict that you won't last long in this palace." Jinghua raised her eyebrows, and her fair face was full of arrogance.

Tang Yu remained silent as he lowered his head, a faint smile playing on his lips. Why did he feel like he was vying for favor in a harem? So it turns out, he had also become like this?

Seeing that Tang Yu ignored him, Jinghua, who was in an arrogant state, grabbed him. However, he was startled when he touched Tang Yu's clothes, feeling a soft and warm texture in the palm of his hand. Jinghua looked up in astonishment at Tang Yu and said, "He actually used the fine silk and warm cloud fabric from Western Liang to make clothes for you?"

"It's just a piece of clothing," Tang Yu casually said, for some reason, he just wanted to provoke the legendary Prince Jinghua standing before him.

"Indeed, it's just a piece of clothing. Let's see how long you can stay here." Jinghua also felt that she had lost her composure. She released Tang Yu and adjusted her sleeves. Just like when she arrived, she left with pride. However, when she saw the purple-gold hand stove on the table, she paused for a moment. She glanced at Tang Yu, who had a calm expression, and then looked at the eunuch. She said, "Shun Court Eunuch, you must take good care of Lord Yu. If he accidentally gets hurt, be careful not to provoke His Majesty, or else your head will be taken."

"Yes." The old eunuch quickly knelt down to send Jinghua away, only letting out a sigh of relief once he had gone far.
