Chapter 45 You are the only one I can trust
Shen Yue had no idea what was going on in her prince's mind. She only knew that she had been kneeling for a long time and her knees were almost broken.
If it were in the past, she would definitely laugh and find an excuse, or act like a rogue and stand up, but she was angry with the bad man at the moment, and her self-esteem was at work, so she didn't want to bow her head first.
Helplessly, she had to try to move her knees little by little, trying to change the point of force to relieve the pain.
When Xiao Yuheng saw her twisting like a bug, he realized that her knees were hurting.
In the past, he would never let her kneel for so long, but this time because of Yong'an's interference, it was indeed delayed for a long time.
"The ground is hard, get up first." He blurted out without thinking.
"ah?"
Shen Yue obviously didn't expect him to say that. She was briefly surprised, but only for a moment before she returned to her indifferent expression.
"oh."
Since Xiao Yuheng had given her a way out, there was no reason for her to refuse, so she tried to lift her legs and stand up.
However, she had been kneeling for too long and her knees were already numb. As soon as her legs left the ground, her body shook involuntarily, and she finally fell back down weakly.
When I looked up again, I saw a big hand with distinct joints.
"So stupid." Xiao Yuheng complained.
"Just leave me alone, stupid."
Shen Yue muttered to herself, but her hand was honestly placed in the man's palm.
Xiao Yuheng's hands were so big and warm. The moment their palms touched, an inexplicable sense of security suddenly surged into her heart.
This kind of peace of mind seems to have disappeared since my mother left.
"What are you mumbling about?" The man carefully helped her up and put her on the chair, then returned to his seat.
"nothing."
The warm big hand suddenly withdrew, and an imperceptible sense of loss surged in Shen Yue's heart.
She was afraid that Xiao Yuheng would notice something, so she hurriedly picked up the teacup on the table and tried to hide her uneasiness.
However, as soon as she touched the cup, Xiao Yuheng held her down tightly.
"That's Yong'an's cup. Why don't you look at the cup every time you drink water?"
Why, why else? When she was at the company, Ah Fei would always prepare a special teacup for her, but the cups at Xiao Yuheng's place all looked exactly the same, so how could she remember them?
Besides, she just wanted to take the cup, not drink water.
Seeing that she had been silent, Xiao Yuheng thought she was still angry, so he softened his expression and handed her his tea.
"Just drink mine. It's not like you haven't had it before."
Shen Yue looked at the teacup he was holding in the air: ...No, I...
Seeing that she didn't take it, Xiao Yuheng lowered his eyelashes and said, "If you don't like it, I will ask Baozhu to get another cup."
"Hey, don't!"
Xiao Yuheng was a sensitive person to begin with. If she didn't answer, he might really think that he was being disliked.
So, Shen Yue snatched the tea from his hand and drank it down in one gulp.
“Delicious!”
Seeing this, Xiao Yuheng's expression indeed became much better.
Taking advantage of the grandson's good mood, Shen Yue decided to mention tomorrow's matter.
"Your Majesty, I do not wish to protect Princess Yong'an."
"Is it because of what happened today?" Xiao Yuheng brought the teapot and poured her another cup.
Shen Yue: No, I’m really not thirsty…
"You can rest assured that what happened today will not happen again, and Yong'an must be protected by you."
"Why?"
Xiao Yuheng twirled his sleeves and said, "Although Yong'an left the capital on her own this time, if anything happens to her in Sifang City, I will have an unshirkable responsibility, so..."
"So you think someone will attack her in Sifang City?" Shen Yue suddenly realized.
Since ancient times, the imperial family has been full of power struggles and calculations. Xiao Yuheng was probably sent to the border because of these reasons. His current situation is already difficult, and if he is also guilty of "failure to protect the princess", his situation will be even more precarious.
Therefore, if someone wanted to harm Xiao Yuheng, killing Yongan in Sifang City at this time would indeed be a good idea.
But Shen Yue was a little confused. "If you want to protect Princess Yong'an, just keep her in the mansion. Why let her go out?"
Xiao Yuheng raised his eyes. "If I leave her in the palace, I can naturally keep her safe for a few days, but what will happen when she leaves the palace and returns to the capital? Instead of being on guard every day, it is better to lure them out and wipe them out in one fell swoop. And in this matter, the only person I can trust is you."
"Only...only me?"
Shen Yue couldn't quite believe it. She knew that Xiao Yuheng trusted her, but Changfeng was still around, so it couldn't be said that she was "only" him.
Xiao Yuheng also realized that there was something wrong with his words, so he coughed lightly and corrected himself:
"What I'm saying is that among the several divisions, Division Two has the largest number of people and the strongest strength, and you work well with them, so this matter is most suitable for you."
Our prince explained for a long time and finally made up his mind. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yue nodded when he heard this, "If that's the case, then I will obey your orders."
It’s just a naughty kid, she doesn’t believe she can’t handle it.
——
The next day, just after dawn, Yongan came to Shen Yue's bedroom and knocked on the door.
“Chen Er, you promised to take this princess out today, but you can’t even pay it back. Damn it!”
Shen Yue pulled the quilt over her head, but still couldn't fall asleep because of the noise. She had no choice but to get up and walk to the door, sticking her little head out of the crack.
"Princess Yong'an, it's so early and no shop is open yet, why are you so anxious?"
"Of course I'm anxious," Yong'an said unhappily. "My uncle told me I could only stay in Sifang City for three days. The city is so huge, how could I possibly explore it all in three days? I don't care. You must get up right now and take me out!"
She had already made up her mind. If Shen Er caused her to be scolded, he would not have an easy life either!
"Okay, okay, okay."
After her making such a fuss, Shen Yue couldn't fall asleep again. She simply went back to her room, combed her hair, changed into a neat white robe, and left the bedroom with a folding fan in her hand.
Yong'an waited outside the door for a long time and was about to take the opportunity to get angry when he suddenly saw a handsome young man coming towards him.
He had a handsome face, walked with a free and easy pace, and was dressed in white with a folding fan gently swaying in his hand, showing his elegant and dashing demeanor.
Even though she was the most noble princess of Daqi and had met countless young talents, she could not help but be moved.
"What's wrong, little princess? Do you look good?" Shen Yue raised an eyebrow.
Before Yongan could say anything, Qiu Shuang beside him spoke first: "Princess, ignore him!"
Yongan didn't listen to Qiu Shuang this time and replied stubbornly: "So what if she looks good? She's still just a slave!"
Shen Yue was not angry. She took a few steps forward and looked at Yong'an.
Today she was wearing a simple light pink brocade dress, and her hair was styled like an ordinary young lady. She had no heavy makeup on her face, only a thin layer of rouge, and her little mouth was pouting, making her look very playful.
If Shen Yue had not witnessed her arrogant and domineering appearance with her own eyes, it would be difficult for her to connect the little girl today with the Princess Yong'an who wanted to fight and kill yesterday.
Seeing her like this, Shen Yue inexplicably felt the urge to tease her. She bent down, moved closer to Yongan, and said with a smile:
"In my opinion, the princess is looking very good today. You must follow her closely and make sure no one else peeks at her."
When Yong'an heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Is she... being teased?
