Xiao Yan walked around the room. It was just an ordinary room. It was probably cleaned up by the chief steward to please the fifth prince. There was nothing important in it.
He suppressed his nausea and searched the Fifth Prince's body. He actually found something useful. Xiao Yan calmly restored the secret letter, stripped the Fifth Prince and threw him on the bed, leaving a mess.
Afterwards, he leisurely drank two cups of tea and waited for a while before swaggering out.
"His Highness has already gone to bed. You should stay outside and make sure no one disturbs His Highness's rest."
The chief steward had been guarding the door. After all, it was not a glorious thing for the prince to favor a criminal slave, and this matter should not be made public. However, he was the confidant of the fifth prince, so naturally he had to make proper arrangements for the fifth prince.
Seeing that "Xiao Yun" was about to leave, the chief steward immediately stopped him.
"Stop! Since His Highness is resting, you should be serving him well. Where are you going in such a hurry? Is there anything more important than serving His Highness?"
Xiao Yan shook the jade pendant in his hand, which he had torn off from the fifth prince.
"His Highness just rewarded me and ordered me to continue serving in the Eastern Palace. If I delay too long, the deposed Crown Prince will become suspicious. What? Are you planning to disobey His Highness's orders and stop me from leaving?"
The chief steward had no doubt that the jade pendant was made of top-quality mutton-fat jade and was extremely valuable. The fact that the Fifth Prince had awarded it to a criminal slave showed how important this criminal slave was in the prince's heart.
"No, no, Miss Xiaoyun has been appreciated by His Highness, so naturally the mission is more important."
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, "You're smart. Remember, don't disturb His Highness's rest unless necessary. If His Highness gets angry, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Yes, yes, yes." The chief steward responded repeatedly.
As soon as "Xiao Yun" left, the chief steward cursed with a loud "Puh!" and gritted his teeth, "You're just a lowly criminal slave. You dare to act like your master just because you climbed into his bed once? Pah! When the Fifth Prince gets tired of playing with you, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
********
Xiao Yan escaped unscathed and went to find Xia Yang with a calm expression, asking him to deliver the ingredients to the East Palace.
Chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables, fruits, filled up a small cart. Xia Yang pushed the cart over, but Xiao Yan had nothing in his hands and showed no intention of helping.
Finally arriving at the gate of the East Palace, Xia Yang unloaded all his things. Xiao Yan casually tossed the jade pendant to Xia Yang and said, "This is a reward for you. Take it and play with it."
Xia Yang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw "Xiao Yun's" stern face, he couldn't help but shut up, took the jade pendant and left.
Xiao Yan moved several times and finally moved all these things into the yard.
Ji Yunhuan was still sitting in a wheelchair. She had already leveled the yard, making it very suitable for the wheelchair to move.
She has become proficient in maneuvering the wheelchair to walk around a few times, wash dishes, feed chickens, and sweep the floor. Apart from not being able to stand up, it doesn't affect her at all.
"Why did they take so many things? Is this bird's nest?" Ji Yunhuan was a little surprised. "What happened? Why would the imperial kitchen give us such good things?"
Xiao Yan gave a brief explanation. Of course, he skipped the part about how he eavesdropped and watched a live sex scene. He just said that he saw the Fifth Prince having sex with a palace maid, and then he was called over by the Fifth Prince.
Ji Yunhuan was startled and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he realized belatedly that he couldn't move at all. He lost his balance and almost fell down.
Xiao Yan immediately supported Ji Yunhuan and gently put her into the wheelchair, but said disdainfully, "I told you not to move."
Ji Yunhuan asked anxiously, "What happened next? Are you okay? No, is my body okay? What did the Fifth Prince do to you?"
Xiao Yan said, "What are you thinking? I can let him take advantage of me, and I knocked him out on the spot."
Ji Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay, it's okay. He's just a beast with no good intentions. If you meet him next time, stay away from him. If you really can't help it, just run away. Run back to the East Palace. How can he come to the East Palace to arrest you?"
Xiao Yan's mood suddenly brightened. "Do you hate him so much? If you followed him, your life would definitely be much better than it is now."
Ji Yunhuan said firmly, "Hateful! Absolutely hateful! I'd rather take care of you in the East Palace for the rest of my life than have anything to do with him!"
It was as if a string of fireworks exploded in Xiao Yan's heart. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but he tried his best to remain calm and put on a cold and hard face.
"Okay, stop moving around. Don't hurt me. Just sit still and let me do it. Once I'm done, I'll go cook for you."
"Oh, okay." Ji Yunhuan obediently put down the rice bag in her hand and watched Xiao Yan busying around, moving things into the small kitchen.
Ji Yunhuan lazily leaned in the wheelchair to bask in the sun. After a while, he smelled a burnt smell and heard crackling sounds. He didn't know what Xiao Yan had smashed again.
She really couldn't bear it any longer, so she controlled her wheelchair and went to the small kitchen, where thick smoke was billowing. Xiao Yan was chasing a fish with a knife, and there was chaos everywhere. It was very lively.
Xiao Yan coughed awkwardly, "It's just a small mistake, it will be fixed soon."
Ji Yunhuan knocked the door sill with his wheelchair and said angrily, "Carry me in. If you keep messing around, you'll tear the kitchen apart!"
In the end, it was Ji Yunhuan who cooked the meal, and Xiao Yan could only help out. Being able to light the stove was already a great effort for Xiao Yan.
Ji Yunhuan stopped eating after eating a short while, lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Even though Xiao Yan was using Xiao Yun's body, he still felt that the food was particularly delicious and never put down his chopsticks.
