emperor cold concubine

Chapter 497
Yunyang was startled secretly when he heard the sound, and looked back, didn't Ziyu come back?
He couldn't help but smile with a guilty conscience, "Uh, isn't Commander Zi busy today?"

What is it called?Getting caught asking about people's privacy behind their backs?
Zi Yu nodded: "Your Highness the Princess."

"Don't call me Your Highness, just call me Yunyang like my sister Huang, why are you being so polite?" Yunyang stood up, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him courteously, "The commander is tired, come on, Quench your thirst with a cup of tea."

Zi Yu glanced at her indifferently, took the tea ceremony and thanked her, "Since Her Royal Highness is here, why not have lunch with Yun Xi here at noon, okay?"

"Yes." Yunyang agreed, and then said strangely: "Doesn't the Commander have dinner with Huangjie?"

Yun Xi also looked up at him.

"There are some things to deal with in the barracks, and I can't make it back at noon." Ziyu explained lightly.

Yun Xi softly said: "What happened?"

"Not sure yet." Ziyu frowned, not wanting to deliberately hide it from her, but also not wanting to make her worry for nothing when things were still unclear.

Yun Xi didn't ask any further questions, and only whispered: "Then be careful yourself, don't forget to eat lunch."

Zi Yu nodded, turned and left indifferently.

"It's almost noon now." Yunyang looked at the sky outside, turned his head, eyes full of envy, "Sister Huang, he came back on a special trip to tell you that he can't accompany you for lunch today?"

Cang Yun looked at her eyes full of little stars, and couldn't help being speechless.

Yunyang said sincerely: "Sister Huang, you are so happy."

Even if a man doesn't know how to talk sweetly, it is already very rare for a man to keep women in his heart all the time.

Yun Xi pursed her lips and nodded, "At least, I'm satisfied now."

"Since he won't come back for dinner, Miss Huang, why don't we go to the Concubine's Palace to eat at noon today. The crispy cloud rolls made by the Concubine herself are delicious!"

Yun Xi thought for a while, then smiled slowly: "...Okay."

When they rode their horses all the way out of the imperial city and arrived at the barracks, the army had just finished their last round of drills.Under the scorching sun, the 30 recruits were sweating like rain, and their posture was as straight as a pine tree. Looking from a distance, one could deeply feel the solemn and oppressive atmosphere.

Ziyu stood at the east camp gate, quietly waiting for Mo Li to order the whole army to rest.

Many soldiers in the army who were close to him caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of their eyes, and each of them couldn't help but grimaced, complaining secretly, and subconsciously pulled their bodies straighter, for fear that the ruthless commander Zida would find him lazy.

The recruits had only been trained for less than two months. There was a general Mo and a commander, but they had suffered a lot in teaching them. The 30 army met the two of them, like a mouse meeting a cat.

During the initial training, there were mourners and screams all day long, but now it has only been two months, and all the necessary rules have been established. During the training, except for the sound of weapons and armor rubbing against each other, there is no other sound that should not be heard at all.

The momentum is huge, and the army is mighty.

This is no longer a barracks for recruits.

However, whether they are recruits or real soldiers, their fear of Zi Yu and Mo Li is always the same.

After the cup of tea, Mo Li, who was dressed in black armor, came out with a stern expression, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Ziyu looked towards the Beibu camp in the distance with a blank expression, "After the soldiers are dismissed, let Cang Yunqi, Cang Yunhan and Cang Yunlin stay. There is something I need to get their confession."

Confession?

Mo Li frowned, seemingly puzzled.

"At noon yesterday, they took advantage of the lunch break to sneak out of the barracks without authorization." Zi Yu explained lightly, "There was a quarrel with someone in Pretty in Pink, and the reason was because of the oiran of the brothel. in his room."

Mo Li's expression turned cold when he heard this.

Sneak out of the barracks without authorization?This is not just a violation of military law.

Also went to the brothel?
"The guards in the barracks shouldn't be so lax." Zi Yu raised his steps, slowly walked up to the general's platform, and said coldly, "All those involved will be found out and severely punished by military law."

Mo Li walked up the steps with him in silence, and nodded upon hearing this.

"What did the Dali Temple find out?"

Zi Yu said: "It is still pending further autopsy and evidence collection."

Mo Li raised his hand and ordered everyone to disband, only the three princes were called.

Since Cang Hao and the three of Cang entered the palace, their lives fell from heaven to hell almost instantly—of course, if the absurd days of drunken dreams and death before were considered heaven.

Although they were afraid of Ziyu before, they never really provoked him after all, and Ziyu always treated them as if they didn't exist, and the two sides never crossed paths.But since entering the barracks, the harsh training like dire straits made them complain and suffer all day long. They yelled at Zi Yu and Mo Li, threatened and lured them, and tried their best, but they were treated more and more miserable every time.

In front of the two of them, the few people who only had the false name of the Cang family's princes turned into obedient mice.

Now when he saw Zi Yulai, he was still feeling lucky a moment ago that no one would pursue what happened yesterday, but now he was terrified.

"Commander Zi, are you looking for... us for something?" Fifth Prince Cang Yunqi asked pretending to be calm, and the other two behind him quickly raised their eyes to look at Ziyu, then hurriedly turned their heads to look elsewhere.

Apart from the routine training, Zi Yu and Mo Li did not require them to salute the general in the barracks, as long as they did not violate military regulations and orders, did not slack off in training, did not steal, rape or play tricks, they were willing to be a little more tolerant to them.And once the military law is violated, it must be treated equally with other soldiers and will not be tolerated.

In terms of etiquette, the princes were also happy to pretend to be stupid, so they haven't really learned the rules yet.

"Yesterday at noon, you left the barracks without permission and went to Pink Lady?" Ziyu didn't make indirect remarks, and asked straight to the point, with a firm tone of inquiry.

The expressions of the three of them changed drastically in an instant, and they subconsciously looked at Mo Li's expression. When they met the other's cold eyes, they hurriedly lowered their eyes, their expressions faintly revealing paleness and uneasiness.

"This... this is a rumor..."

Ziyu didn't seem to hear their excuses, and said calmly: "From the beginning of darkness yesterday to the early morning of this morning, have you ever been to that Qinglou again?"

"No!" Cang Yunqi categorically denied it as if he was facing a big enemy, and, eager to get the testimony of the other two, "Eighth brother, ninth brother, we stayed in the barracks and slept last night until Yinshi got up for training. Except for going to the toilet, I never left the bed once, are you right?"

"Yes, yes." The other two nodded hurriedly, with hesitant expressions on their faces, "Did something happen...?"

Zi Yu turned his gaze to Mo Li, who nodded in affirmation.

The three of them were indeed there all night last night.
