Mr. Shen's meticulous care for her never changed, whether she was still a bird or after she became a human.
Therefore, Xiao Yan would often rely on Shen Yanjin unconsciously and subconsciously. This was an indescribable emotional support. Although she was not clear about it, she never refused.
When he took the last bite of meat porridge, Xiao Xu licked the water stains on his lips and closed his mouth.
With food in my stomach, my body felt much warmer and my consumed energy was slowly recovering.
"Does your head still hurt?"
Xiao Yan shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore. I've already made it clear to him. Let's go home soon."
go home……
After this word came out of his mouth, Xiao was stunned for a few seconds.
Yes, it's time to go home.
Ana Shen reached out and touched Xiao Xu's head, ruffling her loose hair, with a hint of a smile on his face: "Well, let's go home."
The journey back was much slower than the journey here. She and Shen Yanjin were both teleported by the four sacred beasts, so it would not be so easy to travel on foot alone.
It took about half a month to return to the big country.
Before entering the city, Xiao Xu and Shen Yanjin were stopped at the city gate.
"Show your token, or you can't enter!"
In the past, big countries would not have so many guards guarding the city gates, which really made Xiao Xu suspicious.
Besides, she didn't have anything on her that could prove her identity.
Rumor has taken out the token.
The shouting guards immediately stopped their actions, knelt down, and said in unison: "Greetings, Your Excellency."
This action really surprised Xiao Xu. Before leaving the big country, she knew that her husband had become a high-ranking official in the court and that the emperor favored him more than his own children, but there were very few "high-ranking officials" who were so respected by the guards.
Except for those officials who were tall and used sticks to show their superiority, generally speaking, guards and soldiers would not kneel down from the bottom of their hearts to such people.
"Let's go."
Shen Yanjin took Xiao Xu's hand and rode into the city together.
Walking through the streets and alleys, Xiao Xu's back felt like it was being pricked with needles, and the gazes of those women seemed to want to poke a hole in her.
Some who couldn't bear it covered their faces, cried, and ran away.
However, most people still want her and Shen Yanjin to be a pair. After all, she is the national teacher of a big country, and Shen Yanjin is a high-ranking official of a big country.
Who dares to object to them being together?
But after walking down the street for a while, a group of people rushed out from the crowd and knelt in front of Xiao Xu and Shen Yanjin.
"Sir Shen, the Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time. The Imperial Master should also come into the palace."
Xiao paused for a moment. It seemed that the person pretending to be him did a good job, and no one noticed anything wrong with her.
The two entered the palace together.
The old emperor first summoned Shen Yanjin alone, and then summoned her.
When Shen Yanjin left the side hall, Xiao Xu looked at him eagerly.
"It's okay, just answer whatever he asks."
Hearing these words, several servants present at the scene began to wonder in their hearts: They are really favored by the emperor. Aren’t they afraid that the emperor will use these words to punish them severely?
So sour.
The servants waiting in the hall ate a lot of dog food in silence, not daring to complain or say anything.
Who made them slaves?
After entering the side hall, Xiao Xu saw the old emperor lying on the dragon bed. At this moment, he looked old and pale, with a wrinkled face that looked sickly, and his white hair was scattered on the dragon pillow.
"National Master..."
Xiao said: "Your Majesty."
Upon hearing the answer, the emperor immediately looked straight at the girl in front of him.
