Xiao Yan held Xiaoyun in his arms. He seemed to see Xiaoyun's shadow in "his own" face, with red eyes and charming appearance.
A charcoal fire was burning in the room, and the air gradually warmed up. Xiao Yan lifted the quilt...
As a man, even if he doesn't have strong sexual desires, his body will still have instinctive reactions, but this time the feeling is particularly different.
His soul seemed to rise into the air, looking down at everything. It was an unprecedented wonderful feeling.
It was no longer a simple release of desire, his soul experienced incomparable joy and happiness.
After a long time, Ji Yunhuan's consciousness had become a little fuzzy. A flash of white light passed before her eyes. As the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, she was shocked and finally felt relieved.
After Xiao Yan regained consciousness and cleaned up, he changed clothes for Xiaoyun and the two of them finished their breakfast in silence.
At noon, the atmosphere was finally less awkward.
Ji Yunhuan was sitting in a wheelchair directing Xiao Yan to cut vegetables when suddenly her vision went dark. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself holding a kitchen knife and the chopping board was covered with shredded meat of varying thicknesses.
After a few thuds, clear strands of meat were placed in the bowl.
Ji Yunhuan put down the kitchen knife, stretched comfortably, and shook his legs. The feeling of being back in his own body was so good!
She looked at the sundial in the courtyard and feigned surprise, saying, "Your Highness, we've just swapped a day and a night. Will it be like this every time from now on? I was worried I'd never be able to swap back, but now I'm not afraid anymore."
Xiao Yan looked at his big hands with distinct joints and knew that the two of them had exchanged places.
He felt a vague sense of regret in his heart, and even a little greedy for the feeling of holding Xiaoyun in his hands.
He held her in his arms, hugged her, and even when she went to the toilet, Xiaoyun had to call him. Xiaoyun depended on him for everything and could not live without him. This feeling fascinated him.
"You changed it back so soon?" Xiao Yan was a little stunned.
Ji Yunhuan saw Xiao Yan's lost look and thought that Xiao Yan had suddenly returned to his original body and was feeling sad that he couldn't move, so he comforted him:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Your leg will definitely be healed. One day, you will be able to walk and run like a normal person. I will always be with Your Highness."
In his previous life, Xiao Yan's legs were healed, but perhaps because he had been paralyzed for many years and had not moved, even though he could stand up and walk, his movement was still a little unsmooth when he walked fast. Some people even privately called him the "lame emperor."
However, she has already added the fitness pills into Xiao Yan's food little by little. She also massages Xiao Yan's legs on weekdays. Xiao Yan's legs will definitely be healthy in the future.
Xiao Yan slid his wheelchair to the stove to light the fire. "Now that I'm back, hurry up and cook. I'm hungry!"
Ji Yunhuan responded and quickened his pace. Soon, four dishes and a soup were served on the table.
The weather was very good today, the sun was warm above their heads, and the two of them had their meal in the yard.
The East Palace, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became lively, and noisy sounds were heard outside the gate.
The guard at the door weighed the heavy gold in his hand and urged, "Hurry up! If His Majesty finds out that we let someone in without permission, we'll lose our heads."
Steward Li touched his big belly and said with a cheerful smile, "Your Majesty has long forgotten about the Eastern Palace. How can a useless person compare to the favor of the Fifth Prince? What future do you brothers have guarding the Eastern Palace? Now that this matter is over, the Fifth Prince will definitely benefit from your help in the future."
The guard smiled and immediately opened the door to let the person in.
Steward Li, along with a dozen powerful eunuchs, swaggered into the East Palace with a particularly arrogant attitude. When he saw Xiao Yan in the courtyard, he did not even greet him. Instead, he said with a mocking expression:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is well. No, he is now deposed. I am so clumsy with my words. Your Highness, please don't blame me."
Xiao Yan put down his chopsticks and glanced at Manager Li with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Is trespassing into the East Palace a capital offense?"
Manager Li gave a wink to the eunuch behind him, and everyone immediately dispersed and surrounded Xiao Yan and Ji Yunhuan.
"Your Highness, please do not wrongly accuse me. I was ordered to investigate a case. This criminal stole the Fifth Prince's jade pendant. For the crime of theft, he must be arrested and beaten to death!"
"This lowly maidservant is truly unfit to serve Your Highness. I will report this to the Imperial Concubine and then select a better one for Your Highness to use."
Ji Yunhuan stood up. Now that she was a member of the Eastern Palace, she no longer had to be polite to Manager Li. "You keep saying I stole. Where's the evidence? Who saw it?"
Steward Li pointed at the delicious food on the table and shouted, "This is the evidence! If you didn't steal, how could a criminal like you have so many good things?"
Ji Yunhuan sneered, "This is the Eastern Palace! As a prince, His Highness naturally has his share. How can this be used as evidence of my theft?"
"Manager Li is so arrogant! He wants to kill people without any evidence. Whose orders are you following? What case are you investigating? Do you have a written order from His Majesty? If not, who gave you the courage to break into the Eastern Palace and search it?"
Manager Li was blocked and couldn't say a word. He just found a random excuse to come in and arrest people. Let alone the emperor's order, he didn't even have the imperial concubine's order.
Xiao Yan reached under the wheelchair and said grimly, "Although the East Palace is dilapidated, not just anybody can come in. If you don't get out of here, I will not be polite!"
Manager Li sneered, "Just a useless person, I want to see how you can be rude to me!"
"Come here, capture this criminal! Once we get to the Ministry of Punishment, I'll see how you can still be so stubborn!"
