"ah..."
Xu Yunxuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. In her eyes, she had never seen Shen Yuyao lose her composure like this before.
“Cough…cough cough…”
Shen Yuyao choked on the abalone soup, coughing so hard that she couldn't breathe, and her little face turned red.
Seeing this, Xu Yunxuan immediately stood up and walked behind Shen Yuyao, patting her on the back.
"Slow down, no matter how delicious it is, I won't snatch it from you!"
When she choked while eating as a child, the adults all did this.
Shen Yuyao's heart was in turmoil at this time, and the little fairy's voice brought back those bad memories.
At this moment, Shen Yuyao seemed to have returned to the day of delivery. In fact, the pain was hardly felt at that moment.
That day, the person she had been waiting for did not show up.
Shen Yuyao was extremely disappointed. This disappointment made her heart seem to be frozen, and then shattered into a spider web, binding her body bit by bit.
Her body's sense of the surroundings gradually disappeared, and the feeling of being on the verge of death returned to her body again.
"Mom, have some tea!"
Xia Xiaoxian's cute voice sounded.
When everything is quiet, it is always the little fairy treasure who wakes her up!
"Come on, Xiaoxian, hey."
Xia Xiaoxian's chubby little body imitated Xu Yunxuan and stroked Shen Yuyao's back.
Mother?
Zhang Ying's eyes widened. She guessed correctly. The two teenagers were just like her, both women disguised as men!
It took a while for Shen Yuyao to recover. She glanced at Zhang Ying with a meaningful look. Zhang Ying's heart trembled, "Why didn't she reveal my identity as a woman?"
Shen Yuyao calmed down a bit and stood up. "Yunxuan, go back to Luyuan! Pack up the important items and take Zisu and Baizhi to Huang'en Temple."
Seeing Shen Yuyao's serious expression, Xu Yunxuan didn't dare to say anything more. She just replied "yes" and looked at Xia Xiaoxian again.
"I will bring the little princess to the palace immediately, don't worry." Shen Yuyao knew that she was worried about Xia Xiaoxian.
"good!"
Xu Yunxuan turned around and quickly walked out of Room 1.
Shen Yuyao turned to look at Zhang Ying and said, "Since you already know that I am a girl like you, I will not lie to you again." There was a kind of warmth in her eyes that made people feel safe, and Zhang Ying nodded gently.
Shen Yuyao continued, "I admire your literary talent and martial arts skills, and I will definitely not delay your palace examination! Today, you will wait for my news in Zuixian Tower!"
Zhang Ying nodded. Today's events were too bizarre and she needed some time to think about how to deal with them. As long as she didn't miss the palace examination, she could deal with other issues as they came her way!
"Tang Wei!" Shen Yuyao called out to the door.
"I'm here!"
Tang Wei pushed the door open and came in. "What do you want, sir?"
"I need to go to the palace to see the emperor immediately. All of you wait here! You are not allowed to leave this room without Zhang Ying's permission!"
"I will definitely fulfill your mission!" Tang Wei clasped his fists and saluted, then shouted sternly towards the door:
"Come here, surround Zuixianlou! No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission!"
"yes!"
The gate guards responded in unison.
Afterwards, there was a commotion upstairs and downstairs in Zuixianlou.
Shen Yuyao glanced at Zhang Ying again, "Zhang Ying, don't even think about escaping. I've mobilized the Imperial Guards outside Zuixian Tower. No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you won't be able to escape."
Shen Yuyao raised the corners of her lips slightly and continued, "Just wait here peacefully for the palace examination!"
"Okay!" Zhang Ying answered readily, "As long as I can take the palace examination, I won't run away!"
Her only purpose in living is to meet the dog emperor and kill him to avenge her parents!
Zhang Ying knew that this was the only chance to see the emperor up close, so she would wait!
"Little fairy, come with your mother into the palace!" Shen Yuyao smiled slightly, holding Xia Xiaoxian's soft little hand, and also left the palace.
......
At dusk, Zhang Ying finally waited for a eunuch to announce the emperor's decree, asking her to enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor.
Was it possible to hold palace examinations at night in the Great Xia Dynasty?
Could this be a special arrangement by Lord Shen? What is her identity?
Zhang Ying was filled with doubts, but now she had no choice! As long as she could see that bastard emperor, she could avenge her hatred and comfort her parents!
After entering the palace, Zhang Ying was taken not to Fengxian Hall, but to the Imperial Study!
The eunuch opened the door and said coldly, "Go in, the emperor will be here soon!"
There was no light in the imperial study, so one could only vaguely make out objects with the light from outside the window.
As soon as Zhang Ying stepped into the imperial study, the door behind him was slammed shut with a bang.
Only then did she see clearly that there was no one in the imperial study!
She was deceived by Lord Shen, the corrupt official!
Just as Zhang Ying was gathering his strength to open the study door, a stern voice rebuked him from outside: "Princess Anaj! You dared to take my life for revenge! You are so bold!"
Zhang Ying was devastated, fearing that revenge would be impossible. He wanted to find out the truth before he died anyway!
Zhang Ying's eyes flashed with hatred as he asked sternly, "Are you Xia Yuanjue?"
"How dare you! How dare you call the name of the Emperor of Great Xia? Why don't you surrender?" The eunuch spy outside the door howled.
When Zhang Ying heard that it was indeed the dog emperor outside the door, he slammed the door down with his palm. As soon as he rushed out, he was surrounded by dozens of Black Dragon Guards with Embroidered Spring Swords.
Zhang Ying glanced around. In front of him was the Black Dragon Guard's embroidered spring sword, and the stairs outside the hall were filled with hundreds of guards holding spears. There were also dozens of archers on the roof, all aiming at him.
A tall man in a dragon robe slowly approached them. "Anaji, you can't escape today. Don't waste your time!"
"Hahaha..." Zhang Ying howled to the sky, "I actually believed that bastard official! He made me fail at the last moment!"
