After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 125 Brother

After thinking for a while, Yu Tingwan refused.

"Hiding isn't going to work. Besides, he's probably figured out my identity by now, which makes it even harder to get rid of him. Once you show up, he'll probably keep pestering you. Wait."

Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Tingwan suddenly remembered what he had said before.

"Hey, I remember you told me before that envoys from various countries are coming to pay tribute, right? Are there people from Xiyan?"

Shen Chenli's eyes flickered slightly, "The one coming from Xiyan Kingdom this time should be the Third Prince, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't do anything. Although he lived in my courtyard for free, he has lived in my courtyard for a long time. Now he might bring me trouble. Am I such a person who will be taken advantage of easily? I just don't know which prince is the one who is chasing him?"

Looking at the smirk on her face, Shen Chenli didn't know whether he should sympathize with the wandering prince.

He knew that during this period of time, the prince had been living a miserable life!

Uh, no, that can’t be said that way. This is called the prince’s sympathy for the people, even though the sympathy is not for the people of his own country!

Working hard on the hill every day, his pretty face became darker!

"What's that expression on your face? I serve him deliciously every day. It's time for him to repay me!"

Shen Chenli did not comment. Anyway, he was not the one who suffered, so he just watched the fun.

The two were chatting and laughing when there was a knock on the study door. Butler Chen came in and reported that there was news from the palace.

We received news this morning that neighboring countries are coming to pay tribute. This is a matter of great importance, so please ask Prince Chen to come to the palace. In addition, the matter of Prince Hong's selection of a concubine will be put on hold until the tribute is over.

And...Prince Rui has come to Beijing, and is already thirty miles outside the capital, and will arrive soon!

Prince Rui is coming to Beijing?

Yu Tingwan turned to look at Shen Chenli, only to see him nod.

"This is the other news I received."

"But," Yu Tingwan frowned, "Didn't they say that the princes cannot return to the capital without being summoned? This is obviously a case of executing first and reporting later, right? As for the emperor..."

What happened to Prince Rui?

"Princess, the messenger said that after the emperor received the news, he got very angry in the palace. Not only that, but I heard that Prince Rui also brought 3,000 personal soldiers with him."

Oh no, is this a rebellion?

Shen Chenli obviously didn't understand either.

"My brother is reckless and ambitious. He also made a lot of noise when he arrived at his fiefdom. However, he was able to hide from the eyes and ears of the king and the emperor and suddenly appeared thirty miles outside the capital. This really surprised me. I am afraid that he has a military advisor by his side."

Suddenly, Yu Tingwan thought of the news he heard last night, and frowned. Could it be...

"what happened?"

Shen Chenli was about to go out, but saw Yu Tingwan sitting on the couch in a daze, so he turned his wheelchair and moved closer.

Her thoughts were interrupted and Yu Tingwan shook her head at Shen Chenli.

"It's okay, go ahead, I'll go out for a while too."

Shen Chenli understood and was probably going to look for Yun Chu.

"Be careful and follow a few more people."

Yu Tingwan did not refuse. She just smiled and watched him leave the study, then went back to change her clothes.

Actually, I haven't been here much since I settled them here. I heard from the secret guards here that Yun Chu is a very honest person. Apart from teasing Xiao Douzi all the time, he spends most of his time cultivating the land in the mountains.

This surprised Yu Tingwan. They were so honest in cultivating the land on the mountain?

Although she didn't know much about this person, based on the information she had now, she knew that he was not an honest guy!

Yu Tingwan was naturally interested, so she didn't let Aunt Liu prepare lunch for her and turned around to walk out of the city.

When they arrived at a famous pastry shop in the capital, Yu Tingwan asked An Si to buy some pastries for her so that she could eat outside at noon.

Yu Tingwan originally thought that when she got to the mountain, she would see that they were just being lazy or simply not on the mountain at all.

But when I got there, I found that this originally lush mountaintop was mostly bald!

This is not something that can be done by laziness. There are only a dozen of them, and the best technical skills here are axes and saws. There are no other tools available.

A dozen people cut down half of the trees on a hill in just a few months, less than half a year?

Yu Tingwan walked on the empty land and found that not only that, the land on the mountain seemed to have been turned over as well.

Yu Tingwan called a secret guard who usually guarded here and asked them what they had been doing during these days.

"To answer your question, sir, when you first left, they were not very willing to do this job, and the one called Yunchu even sat under the shade of the tree every day to enjoy the cool air.

Later, when you hadn't been here for a long time, they thought about leaving. As they saw that everything had been packed up, I don't know what Yun Chu was thinking, but he suddenly decided not to leave and started working.

Those around him asked him why, but he said nothing and just kept working on this mountain until now."

Is that it? No one paid any attention to him, so he decided not to run away? He just stayed like this?

Yu Tingwan couldn't believe it. This was the man who ran here while being chased by his brothers. Not only that, looking at his appearance when he first saw him, he didn't look embarrassed at all.

Combined with his performance in front of her last time, Yu Tingwan knew that this was a wolf that had not yet fully grown up!

From a distance, I saw someone moving around in the woods. In an instant, a tree collapsed.

Yu Tingwan twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that if he had come later, the whole mountain would have been plucked bare by them, and he would have to plant trees by then, which would really be a waste!

Before we got closer, the people busy on the hill seemed to notice something and all looked over here.

When Yun Yi saw Yu Tingwan approaching, he quickly ran to the people who were working hard.

"Master, Master Chen and Master Jiang are here."

After Jing Yun's reminder, Yun Chu seemed to have just noticed something and looked back blankly. When he saw Yu Tingwan's figure, his eyes suddenly lit up and he ran over shouting.

"Sister, brother, brother!"

What are the names of sister and brother?

This person really is, reminding himself all the time.

Yu Tingwan waited until he ran close, put away the folding fan in his hand, and hit Yun Chu directly on the chest. When he subconsciously reached out his hand, she tripped him with her foot.

"Ouch!"

Yun Chu sat down in the pit and couldn't get up.

She could only look over with grievance and confusion, and said pitifully: "Brother, how could you be like this? It's been a long time since you came. Yun Chu misses you so much!"

The grievance in his words almost overflowed. People who didn't know would think that this was really his brother who hadn't come to see him for a long time!

Yu Tingwan gritted his teeth, looked at the group of people running hurriedly over from a distance, lowered his eyes and glanced at him coldly.

Leave a message in a low voice.

"If you want to stay here peacefully, don't play any tricks. The tribute is about to begin. You don't want to be exposed in front of others at this time, right? Yun Chu... Your Highness!"

The voice of "Your Highness" was almost inaudible, but it went straight into Yun Chu's ears.
