A gentle breeze blew, and the only sound in the quiet Zen room was the shallow breathing.
Crunch
A slight sound was amplified infinitely, but it did not wake up Ning Wan who was sleeping soundly in bed.
Shen Jingyi, dressed in black, casually opened the window.
He stepped into the room and walked straight to the bed.
After a long while, "Do you like pretending to sleep so much?"
Shen Jingyi's slightly teasing voice was like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.
"If I sleep, won't it be more convenient for you to act?"
Ning Wan did not choose to pretend to sleep this time. Instead, she opened her eyes, turned sideways, raised her hand, and slightly supported her forehead.
A mischievous strand of hair slid down to Ning Wan's shoulder. The sensory stimulation brought by the black and white made Shen Jingyi's hand tighten slightly, making him want to destroy the person in front of him more.
"If I really wanted to do something to you, you wouldn't be able to escape even if you were awake."
Shen Jingyi turned around and sat at the table at the back, poured himself a cup of herbal tea and started drinking it.
Ning Wan looked at Shen Jingyi under the moonlight. He no longer had the aggression he had just shown. He seemed like just another good friend of hers.
After Shen Jingyi finished the tea in his hand, he did not put it down immediately. He just played with the teacup and had no intention of leaving.
"Just tell me what you want to say. I'm going to sleep." Ning Wan originally thought that Shen Jingyi came here to find her to warn her, or at least to kill her to silence her.
But the man in front of him had done nothing except drinking a cup of cold tea since he came in.
Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan, who turned over and was unwilling to deal with him, and chuckled:
"I'm here just to explain. I've arranged a new identity for you, and I'll take you back to the palace in a few days. You'd better be smart and don't think about running away."
When Ning Wan heard the word "I", she understood that the other party did not allow her to disobey him.
But he was destined to be disappointed. It was his own fault for handing him a suicidal script. If he was unhappy, I would be happy too.
Ning Wan didn't say anything immediately, and Shen Jingyi didn't leave.
Another cup of tea passed, and she continued, "Ning Wan will only be Anping's princess, the only princess. Even death cannot change that."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I can give you more than this princess."
Shen Jingyi thought very clearly that the wild ghost chose the princess's body simply because of her status. However, he could give her a noble status and allow her to live without having to assume the identity of a princess and be herself.
The only way she could repay him was to accompany him when he was sick.
But this wild ghost rejected her. Why should she reject her?
The fact that he didn't have her burned to death as a ghost was already his biggest setback.
"Since Your Majesty has not forgotten his status, then please do not mention this matter again. After all, whether you can keep this position is still under discussion."
The cold female voice came again.
Then there was the sound of a teacup breaking.
"I will let you know that your persistence is worthless."
Having said that, he shook his sleeves, turned around and left without looking at Ning Wan again.
Ning Wan, who seemed very tough on the bed, had his heartbeat faster than usual.
She knew that the tasks issued by the system were not good.
It turns out that there was a pit waiting for me here.
If she ran away by herself, she would have been a dead person in the eyes of outsiders. If she rashly ran away with this identity, she would be reported to the authorities immediately.
But if she didn't run, then she would definitely be forced by Shen Jingyi to arrange a new identity, and her mission would be ruined.
Without points, she couldn't start the main quest. If she couldn't start the main quest, she would be stuck in this plane forever...
Thinking of this, Ning Wan shook his head and once again determined to complete the task.
…
The second day.
At the exact time of Mao, there were knocks on the door.
"Donor, there is a noble person who wants to invite you to meet him."
The monk who knocked on the door did not know Ning Wan's identity. He just thought she was an orphan as the host said.
That noble lady was the wife of the newly appointed Minister of Rites, and she was not someone a weak woman like her could afford to offend.
"Not seen." These two short words reached the monk's ears through the crack in the door.
The monk paused and spoke again, "Donor, that noble lady is the wife of the Minister of Rites. Do you need to consider it?"
Thinking of the man's identity, the monk spoke again, but this time there was no response.
After a while, seeing that Ning Wan still didn't respond, he finally turned around and left without saying anything more, going to the front hall.
However, Ning Wan in the room was already dressed neatly. Her beige cloth did not cover up her bright and beautiful appearance, but instead made her look even more charming.
Xiaoju beside her had a melancholy look on her face. "Princess, why don't you meet me? Maybe..."
Ning Wan raised her hand slightly and interrupted Xiaoju's speech.
Outside the main hall.
Mrs. Su, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was waiting anxiously.
You have to know that this is a task assigned to them by the emperor. If they are not careful, they may lose their heads.
Seeing the monk coming back, before Mrs. Su could feel relieved, the maid next to her pulled her sleeve with a sharp eye.
Mrs. Su also reacted quickly.
This young monk actually came alone, with no one following him. Could it be that the person wanted him to go and invite her?
The young monk quickly came to the front of the crowd, looked at the host who was also waiting for news, and shook his head slightly.
He then looked at Madam Su, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly. "The donor was too frightened and didn't want to see outsiders, so he declined Madam Su's kindness."
Mrs. Su did not expect that this matter would be rejected. Thinking of the consequences of not handling things well, she couldn't help but let her legs go weak and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the maid who was traveling with her was smart enough to support her immediately.
"Madam, how about we just forget it?"
The maidservant had no idea that Madam Su's trip was under the emperor's orders. She only thought that Madam Su had been married for many years without children, and that was why she felt pity for the orphan girl in the temple.
Mrs. Su did not answer immediately. She stood up with the help of the maid beside her, her eyebrows drooped, and she began to sob.
"Master, to be honest, I came here because of the guidance of an immortal, who asked me to do this good deed..."
Madam Su's words were intermittent, and the maid beside her became more and more worried.
The abbot's face was also touched. He thought that it was not appropriate for a woman like Ning Wan to stay in the temple for a long time. "How about the donor come in person..."
"Okay, okay." This was exactly what Mrs. Su was thinking.
She didn't understand what the new emperor meant. If he really wanted her to come and adopt that person as his adopted daughter, why didn't he discuss it with the people in the temple? It made it seem like she had other intentions when she came to him to ask for the person.
"Everything has its own destiny. If the donor and Madam Su are not destined to be together, I hope Madam Su will not force it."
The host silently chanted "Amitabha" and then began to personally lead the way for Mrs. Su.
