Quick Travel: Who taught you how to attack villains like this?

Chapter 738: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (13)

Outside the capital, there is a very popular temple, where many pilgrims come to burn incense and pray every day.

Especially the ladies and girls from wealthy families have a special affection for this temple and often come here in groups.

The annual Qiqiao Festival is here again. This festival has special significance for unmarried men and women.

Therefore, this year more people come to temples outside the capital to seek marriage than in previous years.

Yu Yan was dressed in a light ink-colored robe and holding a jade fan, looking like an elegant and noble man, causing the women passing by to cast shy glances at him.

She was accompanied by her maid Hongye and several guards as they walked into the temple.

When Yu Yan turned around, she saw Hongye's face showing an excited expression, and she kept looking into the hall.

Yu Yan chuckled and joked, "If you want to ask for a marriage, go ahead!"

Hongye blushed slightly when she heard this, and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, I am not..."

In fact, before she entered the palace, her family had arranged a marriage for her.

I heard that the other party is a scholar, talented, honest and kind. Hongye is full of expectations for this relationship.

However, fate had her embark on a journey to the North Wing.

Before leaving, she wrote to that person, telling him frankly that she would go to the North Wing, with an uncertain return date, and might even face a life-and-death test.

She said that if he couldn't wait, he could cancel the engagement and find another good match.

Despite this, Hongye still hopes deep down that she can see him again.

Yu Yan tapped her head gently with her fan and said, "Go if you want to! I'll just walk around the temple by myself. I heard the bamboo forest near this temple is very beautiful!"

"Thank you, Your Highness. Please be careful and let the guards follow you. I will be back soon."

Since her master has already said it twice, Hongye will not hesitate to refuse. After all, she really wants to ask for a fortune.

But Yu Yan refused and said, "Just let the guards follow you. There are many people here, and you are a woman, so you have to be careful."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Hongye to speak, she said a few words to the guards and walked towards the bamboo forest.

Deep in the bamboo forest, lush bamboos sway in the wind, making rustling sounds.

In this quiet bamboo forest, a man in a black robe stood quietly, staring straight ahead.

His eyes were full of anticipation and nervousness, as if he was waiting for someone important to appear.

Finally, Yu Yan's figure appeared in his sight, walking towards him step by step.

An expression of irrepressible excitement appeared on the man's face, and he quickly walked towards Yu Yan.

"Yan'er..."

The man called softly, his voice filled with endless longing and concern.

Yu Yan looked at the man in front of her who looked exactly like her, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She gently opened her lips and called out the familiar yet unfamiliar name: "Brother Emperor..."

Hearing his sister's cry, Yu Chen's eyes instantly became moist and tears almost burst out.

He tried hard to control his inner excitement, and like before, he reached out and gently patted Yu Yan's head, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame.

"Yan'er, you have suffered. It is my brother who has let you down."

Yu Chen whispered, his tone full of regret.

If he hadn't been poisoned and unconscious, his sister wouldn't have been able to disguise herself as a man and come to the Northern Wing Kingdom as a hostage in his place.

When he thought of this, he wanted to slap himself hard twice.

During this time, he couldn't imagine what a miserable and painful life his sister had gone through here.

Seeing Yu Chen's painful and self-blaming expression, Yu Yan quickly said, "Brother, I am living well here."

"Sister, you don't have to say this to comfort me. If you say this, it will make me feel worse. Have you forgotten that two months ago, Xiao Huan beat you severely?"

Yu Chen's voice was filled with pain and self-blame.

He thought about how right after he woke up, he learned that his sister had been beaten seriously in Beiyi Country. He was so angry that he almost fainted again, and he wanted to rush over and kill Xiao Huan immediately.

Yu Yan: "..."

How can I put it? She was not beaten!

Faced with Yu Chen's concern and self-blame, she decided to change the subject.

"Brother, what are you doing in the North Wing?"

"Of course I'm here to take you back!"

Yu Chen said it as a matter of course, his tone firm, "Yan'er, don't worry, I have arranged everything, there will be no mistakes, you just need to follow the people I arrange."

He was worried about letting his well-behaved and sensible sister continue to stay in the den of tigers and wolves in the North Wing.

Yu Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not going back, you go back by yourself!"

Yu Chen was anxious, "Yan'er, you have done enough for me. You can't stay here and continue to take risks."

"Brother, now that you are in the dark, you can help father to rectify the court and improve people's livelihood. Wouldn't it be better to wait until you have complete control of the southern border and then take me back?"

Yu Yan paused and continued, "Now that you have recovered, your father will definitely let you inherit the throne."

After all, he was in poor health and was predicted to not live past the age of twenty, but the emperor did not give up on him. He even brought him to his side and taught him the ways of being an emperor.

Yu Chen was deeply moved when he heard Yu Yan's words, but he still shook his head firmly and insisted that Yu Yan go back. "No, I can't leave you here alone. It's too dangerous here. I must protect you."

Yu Yan looked at Yu Chen, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her eyes.

So, she took a deep breath and said slowly: "Brother, I know you are worried about me, but I am grown up now and I am capable of taking care of myself. Besides, I still have a lot of things to deal with here, and I can't just leave like this."

Yu Chen frowned and asked in confusion: "Is there anything else you need to deal with?"

Yu Yan smiled slightly, her eyes revealing determination and confidence, "Brother, I have used the secret guards to build up some relationships and power in the North Wing. If used properly, the North Wing may be ours. If I leave now, all my efforts may be wasted."

After hearing this, Yu Chen was completely stunned.

What? His sister, who had always been weak and well-behaved, had established power in the North Wing?

What kind of magical direction is this?

Was he in a daze when he woke up this morning? Otherwise, how could he hear such an incredible thing?

This was the first time he looked at his sister so seriously.

She wore a jade crown on her head and held a folding fan in her hand, she was truly a noble lady.

No one would think of her as a girl, but rather as a talented young man from aristocratic family.

Yu Chen pondered for a long time, and finally gave in. "In that case, you can continue to stay here! If anything happens, be sure to send me a message in time."

Yu Yan nodded, "Okay."

The brother and sister exchanged a few more words, and when Yu Chen was about to leave, he heard a female voice.

"Third Prince, you are here too?"
