Chapter 046: How are you still alive?
The man's voice was terrifying and intimidating.
Not only did it make Shen Ningyuan's heart tremble, but it also made her feel a chill on her back.
Especially when he lowered his eyes to look at Shen Ningyuan, the dark blue in his eyes, reflected in the dim candlelight, was even more chilling, causing Shen Ningyuan to swallow in fear.
At this point, Shen Ningyuan was basically certain that this person was the crazy and crazy abandoned prince who would carry a knife and chop people anytime and anywhere in the rumors - Xie Wanzhou.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan gritted his teeth secretly.
He Yunshu, what a cruel plot.
She was brought here, so no matter what Xie Wanzhou did to her, it had nothing to do with her.
Thinking that the person in front of him was the mentally ill and murderous Xie Wanzhou, Shen Ningyuan forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart and keep calm.
Enduring the numbness in his body, he used his elbows to drag his body backwards, putting some distance between himself and Xie Wanzhou.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she took two steps back, Xie Wanzhou controlled the wheelchair and moved towards Shen Ningyuan.
Without making a sound, he shortened the distance between them.
"I'm asking you a question. Where's today's wine?"
As he spoke, the man leaned his head forward a little closer and looked closely at Shen Ningyuan's face.
After seeing the other person's face clearly, the man's pupils trembled slightly and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
But soon, the surprise disappeared.
Xie Wanzhou sat up straight and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you here to bring me some wine?"
After asking, Xie Wanzhou chuckled and said to himself: "You don't look like someone who is here to serve wine. The palace maids who served wine to me were not as brave as you... They didn't even dare to look me in the eye."
Xie Wanzhou spoke with reason and logic, and his attitude was very calm. He did not look as crazy as he did when he was sick.
Shen Ningyuan plucked up her courage and propped herself up to sit up.
"Your Highness, I am not here to deliver wine. This is my first time entering the palace. I got lost when I was leaving the palace and accidentally broke into your bedroom. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan put his hands on his forehead and was about to salute Xie Wanzhou.
But as soon as she lowered her head, Xie Wanzhou took out a folding fan from somewhere, held Shen Ningyuan's chin, and forced her head up.
Then he moved closer and looked at Shen Ningyuan's face more carefully.
This time, after seeing Shen Ningyuan's appearance clearly, Xie Wanzhou's eyes couldn't help but show a bit of joy.
He immediately retracted his folding fan, controlled the wheelchair and took two steps back, putting some distance between himself and Shen Ningyuan.
Seeing Xie Wanzhou distance himself from her, the fear in Shen Ningyuan's eyes slowly faded away.
Looking at Xie Wanzhou again, there was a bit more confusion in his eyes.
Isn't it said that Xie Wanzhou is an irrational lunatic who can go crazy at any time and anywhere?
But now it seems that he has no signs of going crazy.
Could it be that Xie Wanzhou's hysteria sometimes gets better and sometimes gets worse?
Am I lucky enough to happen to see Xie Wanzhou recovering to normal?
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
No matter what, being able to save your life is more important than anything else.
She immediately looked up at Xie Wanzhou and said respectfully, "Your Highness, it's getting late. I won't disturb your drinking pleasure. I'll take my leave now!"
As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan lowered his head and prepared to stand up and leave.
"My wife?"
After hearing Shen Ningyuan’s words, Xie Wanzhou’s pupils shrank again.
He controlled the wheelchair again and moved closer to Shen Ningyuan.
Just as Shen Ningyuan was about to stand up, her shoulders suddenly sank and she was pushed back down.
When she looked up, Xie Wanzhou was holding a folding fan, pressing on her shoulders.
"Your Highness?" Shen Ningyuan called out in a trembling voice.
Xie Wanzhou did not respond, his eyes locked on Shen Ningyuan.
Seeing Xie Wanzhou like this, Shen Ningyuan subconsciously thought that he was ill, and fear rose in her heart again.
But under Shen Ningyuan's frightened gaze, Xie Wanzhou simply asked softly, "What's your name?"
Shen Ningyuan's voice trembled, "Shen Ningyuan."
"Chen Ningyuan?" Xie Wanzhou pursed his lips, "General Shen's daughter?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Exactly."
Hearing this, Xie Wanzhou put away his folding fan and said calmly, "Get up. Don't kneel all the time. It will hurt your knees."
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
She didn't want to kneel, but he didn't let her get up!
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Ningyuan rubbed her slightly aching knee and stood up.
After she stood up and looked at Xie Wanzhou again, her perspective had changed from looking up to looking down.
Looking at it this way, Xie Wanzhou's appearance wasn't as scary as before.
Even with messy hair, he only looks a little more tired and lazy.
After taking a few more glances, the fear in Shen Ningyuan's heart dissipated a little.
But in this case, Xie Wanzhou, who was sitting in a wheelchair, would have to look up at her.
After looking up at Shen Ningyuan for a few moments, Xie Wanzhou's eyes flickered, and he said lightly: "Or... you should kneel down. My neck will hurt if I look up at you."
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
Shen Ningyuan was speechless again.
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan was hesitant to move, Xie Wanzhou seemed to realize that it was a bit inappropriate to let someone kneel down and talk to him.
So he changed his words and said, "Forget it, just stand there, I won't look at you."
After saying that, he immediately controlled the wheelchair to turn around, with his back facing Shen Ningyuan.
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
He stared at Xie Wanzhou's back for a long time.
The corners of Shen Ningyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't find the words to describe her feelings at the moment.
Who can tell her whether Xie Wanzhou is a madman or a fool?
"Your Highness, I'm here to bring you some wine."
At this moment, a trembling voice came from outside the hall.
Shen Ningyuan was a little surprised. No wonder Xie Wanzhou asked her for wine at the beginning.
It turns out that there really were palace servants who would bring wine to Xie Wanzhou at fixed times.
"Go get me some wine. It's not convenient for me to go over there." Xie Wanzhou suddenly ordered.
Shen Ningyuan thought he was giving orders to his men, but when he glanced around, he found that there was no one there.
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan realized that Xie Wanzhou was calling her.
"Are you calling me?" Shen Ningyuan pointed at herself and asked uncertainly.
Xie Wanzhou asked back without any hesitation: "You are the only normal person in this Lin'an Palace. Who else should I call if not you?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan had no choice but to obey, walked over quickly, and opened the door of Lin'an Palace.
Who knew that as soon as she opened the door, Shen Ningyuan was stunned again.
Outside the gate, I saw two palace maids kneeling on the ground with their heads pressed against the floor.
In front of them, there were two jars of wine neatly placed.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but feel strange, but still said softly: "The wine has been delivered, you can go."
Suddenly hearing a woman's voice, the two palace maids raised their heads at the same time and stared at Shen Ningyuan in disbelief.
"Who are you? Why are you in His Highness's bedroom?"
The palace maid on the left asked in a trembling voice.
What shocked them was not that there was a woman in Lin'an Palace.
But there was actually a living person in the Lin'an Palace!
"I got lost and walked here accidentally." Shen Ningyuan answered truthfully.
Hearing this, another maid also asked in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, didn't I do anything to you?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head.
Seeing this, the two palace maids were even more shocked.
As if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, his eyes widened as big as copper bells, and he shouted at the same time: "How could you walk out of Lin'an Palace alive?"
