Chapter 39

"I'll go to the palace. You look after the courtyard and don't let idlers wait in, especially my study room. Never let anyone get close." Chen Jingke repeatedly ordered him to go out to the palace.

The two little girls sent him to the gate of the yard and returned to play in the yard. After a while, Yang Tianlu stood at the door and asked them if there was anything they needed in the yard, and he asked for it to be prepared.

Yi Nu rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go and ask Yang Duguan to prepare some fabrics and needles. Then we can make clothes for real people, and we can also embroider to relieve boredom. Do you want to go together?"

Yuzhu shook her head and said: "I'm not going, you ask him for more, we will do it together. Oh yes, let him ask someone to come over and fill up the water in the bath, otherwise we will have to do it ourselves."

Yi Nu stood up and said, "Okay, wait for me here for a while, don't run around."

After speaking, he walked to the door, glanced around inadvertently, and found that there was no one nearby who didn't have to worry about being heard, so he said:
"How did you find it? Are you not afraid of being seen?"

Yang Tianlu arched his hands, and people in the distance looked like he was saluting, but he said: "We met openly with legitimate reasons, and no one will doubt it."

Yi Nu also knew a little bit, and just asked out of habit.So she didn't continue to struggle with this question, but said: "Is there anything, is it here for a mission?"

Yang Tianlu shook his head and said: "There is no mission, you are the person personally assigned by the empress to the little real person, and you will not be allowed to perform any other tasks except to protect the little real person."

Yi Nu nodded, how could she not get her shoes wet when she often walked by the river, if she carried out any task of spying on secrets, she would be discovered sooner or later.

At that time, there will be cracks in the relationship between the royal family and the little real person. A smart person like the queen would not do such an unwise thing.

Yang Tianlu asked: "You have been in contact with the little real person for a few days. I came here to ask you what you think of him."

Hearing this, Yi Nu seemed to have thought of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared immediately: "Sure enough, as you said, he is a good person, and also an interesting person."

The change in her expression did not hide it from Yang Tianlu. Seeing this smile, he finally decided to tell the plan: "You will follow him from now on."

Yi Nu was stunned for a moment, and said with some doubts: "What do you mean by this? The mission entrusted to me by the saint and empress is to follow him."

Yang Tianlu said: "No, I mean to put aside the will of the saint and the empress, you follow him and become his."

Yi Nu's face changed drastically, his eyes showed fear, he looked around subconsciously, and then lowered his voice, "You want to betray the saint and empress, don't you want to live?"

Yang Tianlu said: "No, the saint and the empress are kind to me. Back then, I swore to be loyal to death and would not break my promise."

Yi Nu doubtfully said, "Then what do you mean?"

Yang Tianlu smiled wryly and said: "We are all people with no future. We either died of the mission, or we were silenced if we knew what we shouldn't know."

"A few of us will die if we die, but you are different, you are still young, and you don't have any secrets that you shouldn't know..."

"Little real person is your chance to escape, as long as he speaks, the saint and empress will let you go."

Yi Nu frowned, and said, "You, who else?"

Yang Tianlu said: "Who else is there, just Yao Yunyang and us. When the saint asked me to choose someone as a partner to protect the little real person, I thought of this method."

"After discussing it with Yao Yunyang and the others, everyone agreed that this idea was good. At that time, we only had three levels of confidence, so we just wanted to take a gamble."

"Later developments proved that we were right in our bet. The little real person can do far more than we imagined, and his position in the hearts of saints and empresses is irreplaceable."

Even though he had already guessed, Yi Nu was still very moved when he heard this answer, and his eyes immediately became wet.

Among them, she was the youngest and petite like a girl, so she was taken care of by everyone, but she didn't expect that everyone had planned for her to this point.

But at the same time, many doubts arose in her heart, and said: "Why does Your Majesty and Your Majesty attach so much importance to the little real person? Could it be that he is His Majesty's illegitimate child?"

"Illegitimate child?" Yang Tianlu chuckled and said, "Let me just tell you that, in His Majesty's mind, the importance of the little real person is second only to the empress and the first princes and princesses."

Yi Nu couldn't believe it and said: "How is it possible, is it because he cured your mother's illness?"

Yang Tianlu said: "I can't tell you now, so don't inquire about it. When you become his man, it's not too late to ask."

Yi Nu immediately knew that this should involve some big secret, and couldn't help looking at him worriedly: "You...will not be in danger, right?"

Yang Tianlu was very relieved, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty still needs me to protect and monitor the little real person, there will be no danger."

Speaking of this, he said seriously: "Don't talk about him, what do you think about what I just said?"

Yi Nu shook his head and said: "Your idea is very good, but there is a fatal loophole, I am past my age..."

"It won't take long. Two or three years later, I will still look like this. No matter how slow he is, he will still be able to react abnormally. At that time, will he be willing to protect me when he realizes that he has been deceived?"

Yang Tianlu said: "Your worries are not unreasonable. We have also considered this point, but we all think that the worst may not happen."

Yi Nu said: "Why do you think so?"

Yang Tianlu said: "Xiao Zhenren is a person who attaches great importance to feelings. As long as you are sincere to him, he will not really abandon you. If you can give birth to a son and a half before he finds out, it will be safer gone."

After all, she was a girl with yellow flowers, and Yi Nu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard such words: "What kind of bad idea did you come up with, he is only ten years old."

Yang Tianlu said with a smile: "There are many parents who are eleven or twelve years old, and we all believe in your means."

"Bah, shameless." Yi Nu finally couldn't stand it any longer, turned his head and left, and turned back halfway and said: "Someone will bring some fabrics and needlework over, and arrange for someone to come to refill the bathroom every morning."

Knowing that such a big matter cannot be decided in a short while, Yang Tianlu didn't urge him, so he deliberately raised his voice and said:

"Alright Miss Yi Nu, I'll send someone to deliver what you need later, and please speak a few words of kindness for me in front of the little real person in the future."

Yi Nu waved his hand and said: "Seeing that you are quite sensible, I understand."

After speaking, he turned and returned to the courtyard.

Yuzhu, who had been waiting for her all this time, asked with some doubts: "What is it that has been talked about for so long?"

Yi Nu proudly said: "Hey, you just begged me to say something nice about him in front of the real person. I saw that he was quite sensible, so I reluctantly agreed."

Yuzhu said with some dissatisfaction: "The real person told us that we are not allowed to interfere with outside affairs. If we let him know, what should we do if we are kicked out of the temple?"

Yi Nu smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, I understand, I don't care about ordinary people."

"It's just that Yang Duguan is a close friend of the real person and the chief steward of Guannei, so we shouldn't neglect him. Besides, it's easy for us to do a lot of things with his help, isn't it?"

Yuzhu thought about it, and her expression returned to normal.After all, she was a child with an immature heart, and Yi Nu quickly diverted her attention and put this matter behind her.
