Shui Yichen wasn't familiar with Beitang Yu. Although he had already learned about all the countries in the Central Plains, he only knew about the relationship between the five countries. He knew that Beitang Yu definitely didn't come to King's City with good intentions, so when he heard the news, he immediately appeared and happened to meet Ye Chunnan.
Beitang Yu was a little different from what Shui Yichen had imagined. He originally thought that he would be like Zhao Yong, a man who looked aggressive and majestic. However, what Shui Yichen saw was only a man as weak as a scholar.
Yes, Beitang Yu was not as aggressive as Zhao Yong, nor as domineering as Mo Rongzhan. His face was like a crown jade, and his every move was like a gentle and elegant noble son. His scholarly aura was very strong. It was impossible to imagine that he was the emperor of the Dark North Kingdom who launched 200,000 elite troops to attack the Western Liang a few years ago.
However, a person's appearance usually did not represent his character. After talking with him, Shui Yichen found that this Beitang Yu was not as harmless as he seemed on the surface. He seemed gentle, but in fact, he had no warmth or feelings at all. He was a cold-blooded person more than anyone else.
As for why Shui Yichen fought with his guards, it was because Beitang Yu looked down on Shui Yichen. He had to prove it with his strength. In three moves, Beitang Yu's guards could not stand up.
After listening to Ye Chunnan, Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen with a smile. "You beat his guards. Didn't Beitang Yu die of anger?"
"If he is so easily angered, I don't mind beating a few more people." Ye Chunnan said.
Shui Yichen said faintly, "Beitang Yu is sinister and vicious. Beware of him."
"I thought he was just not smart enough." Ye Zhen looked back at Mo Rongzhan. "Have you seen Beitang Yu?"
"I've seen him once before." Mo Rongzhan recalled. "It's been more than ten years. He was just a prince at that time."
Shui Yichen looked coldly at Mo Rongzhan. Even though he knew that Lu Yaoyao was Mo Rongzhan's empress, and that it was natural for a husband and wife to be intimate, but he had never thought about it, never thought that she would be in Mo Rongzhan's embrace, much less how beautiful she was under him. But today, seeing her red and swollen lips, as well as Mo Rongzhan's satisfied expression, even if he didn't think about what had happened between them, it was impossible.
He was madly jealous of Mo Rongzhan.
"This time, Beitang Yu didn't come to the capital just to participate in the Empire Opening Ceremony. I feel that he wants to harm you." Shui Yichen said in a low voice, "Heavenly Consort, it's best if there are more people by your side."
Ye Rou's eyes turned cold. "Beitang Yu wants to harm me?"
"Yaoyao, I think so too." Ye Chunnan frowned and said. Although Beitang Yu did not show it, but when he saw Beitang Yu, he felt very dangerous, "You should be careful."
"I am in the palace. What does he want to do to me?" Ye Zhen shook her head and looked at Mo Rongzhan. "Doesn't he know that he is in the capital?"
Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "He won't harm you for now. If he doesn't get any benefits, he'll probably want to help Li Heng. You didn't kill Li Heng, so he thinks he can threaten you."
Ye Rou coldly snorted. "I'll let him know that even if Li Heng is alive, he can't do everything."
"Since Heavenly Consort already knows what to do, this official will withdraw first." Shui Yichen said expressionlessly. He didn't want to stay here, he couldn't help but stare at her lips.
"Yaoyao, what else do you want from me?" Ye Chunnan had some sympathy for Shui Yichen, but only a little.
Ye Zhen said, "The Lu family's parents are staying with you today. Have you seen them?"
"Yes, they are already at home. I'll go back and entertain them now." Ye Chunnan said with a smile.

Zhao Yong soon learned of Beitang Yu's arrival. He had been in Honglu Temple for the past two days and was not surprised when he heard the news.
"It is indeed surprising that Beitang Yu would come to the capital." Zhao Yong said with a smile.
Song Honao's face was not as relaxed as Zhao Yong looked. They all knew that the person Beitang Yu hated the most was Zhao Yong. If Beitang Yu knew that Zhao Yong was ill, he would certainly not let go of this opportunity.
"Your Majesty, do you really think that Beitang Yu came to the capital at this time without any ulterior motives?" Song Honao asked in a low voice.
Zhao Yong said lightly, "He naturally has ulterior motives, but it is not us. Let's wait and see. He has underestimated Lu Yaoyao."
Song Honao said, "This official is just worried that he will see through your illness."
"I don't have a headache today." Zhao Yong rubbed his eyebrows. After drinking the medicine yesterday, he still felt uncomfortable all over his body. He thought that Lu Yaoyao was deliberately messing with him, but today he found that his whole body was much lighter. It seemed that Lu Yaoyao's medicine was really effective.
"That's great! Your Majesty, maybe Lu Yaoyao can really cure your illness." Song Honao said happily.
Zhao Yong's fingers gently tapped on the table, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace and let her give me acupuncture."
"Your Majesty, the First Princess asks for an audience." The palace servant outside the door whispered.
"Let her in." Zhao Yong nodded lightly. It seemed that this girl had not given up yet.
Song Honao said, "The First Princess seems to be hiding in her room these two days. Marquis Anning went to find her, but she did not open the door."
Zhao Yong raised an eyebrow, "It seems that there is a problem with Cheng Zheng."
Zhao Rao walked in from outside. There was still a faint smell of medicine in the air. Her gaze fell on Zhao Yong, and she took a few steps forward to greet him, "Imperial Father."
"What business do you have with me?" Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Rao and asked.
"Imperial Father, you said that Imperial Consort Lu was taken away by kidnappers. Is there any news?" Zhao Rao asked in a low voice. She saw the bowl of medicine in Zhao Yong's hand, but she ignored it. She did not want to know whether he was sick or not. She did not care about him at all, and did not want to care about him.
Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Rao with a smile, "We did not know that you were so concerned about Lu Wushuang."
"Imperial Father, I am not concerned about her. I am just curious as to why you brought her to the capital." He said that she was taken away by kidnappers, but he clearly turned a blind eye to her being taken away by Lu Yaoyao.
Why? Did Imperial Father have something on Lu Yaoyao?
Zhao Yong looked at his daughter and motioned for Song Honao to leave, leaving Zhao Rao alone in the room.
"Rao 'er, do not look into Lu Wushuang's matter anymore. It was we who handed her over to Lu Yaoyao, saying that she was taken away by kidnappers so that we can explain ourselves when we return to Qi." Zhao Yong knew that if he did not tell his daughter the truth, she would not give up.
"Why?" Zhao Rao did not understand. In her opinion, Zhao Yong would not be so easily threatened. What kind of ability did Lu Yaoyao have?
Zhao Yong said lightly, "There is no why. You will naturally find out in the future."
