Chapter 189 has many suspicious points.
"Keep the jade pendant safe. I will give you something again next time, and you are not allowed to refuse."
"otherwise……"
Yan Jue looked at Chen Pingjin with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Having witnessed Yan Jue's methods of punishment, Shen Pingjin nodded vigorously: "I, I, I know, my husband, you go ahead and do your work. I promise I won't refuse next time."
QAQ This jade pendant will be able to mobilize part of Yan Jue's army in the future; anyway, he gave it to me himself.
She was punished for refusing, so she was forced to accept it!
no way!
My husband insisted that I accept it, and I couldn't refuse even if I wanted to! Thinking of this, Chen Pingjin felt a little more at ease.
Seeing that Shen Pingjin had accepted the jade pendant, Yan Jue's expression finally improved a little. His gaze was dark and unfathomable as he glanced at the vase beside the bed.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? If so, I can fetch you some ointment."
Shen Pingjin rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "I just woke up, not because I was injured. Yan Jue, do you know that Brother is coming tomorrow, and you're scared?"
Yan Jue's face darkened: "Am I afraid?"
Chen Pingjin nodded: "Aren't you afraid?"
Wait a minute, judging from Yan Jue's expressions just now, he seemed a little scared.
Looking at Shen Pingjin's carefree appearance, Yan Jue sighed helplessly, "I was just afraid of leaving a bad impression on your brother. After all, you know my reputation before..."
"In addition, given Shen Canling's temperament... I'm afraid he might have some bad misunderstandings about me."
"I see."
Chen Pingjin nodded.
"Yan Jue, don't worry, I'm fine," Shen Pingjin said, trying to dispel Yan Jue's concerns.
"Since you are alright, then I will take my leave." Yan Jue rose from the soft couch and walked to the door, his gaze dark.
"You should rest well here. I will come to see you tomorrow when the time comes."
"good."
Shen Pingjin watched Yan Jue push open the door and leave, then fell into deep thought.
When Yan Jue told her that his brother would be coming, she noticed that his expression was off, so when the time was right, she casually mentioned it, and to her surprise, he seemed to really panic.
Shen Pingjin found it somewhat amusing, but at the same time, she was a little puzzled. After all, according to her memory, her brother in her previous life did not have the qualities that would make Yan Jue know him.
unless……
The two had communicated beforehand.
But Shen Pingjin quickly dismissed this idea. After all, she had a good relationship with her brother in her previous life, and everything Yan Jue did had nothing to do with her brother.
Thinking of this, Shen Pingjin felt a little better.
She slowly got out of bed and walked outside. She glanced at the clear blue sky, as if she had suddenly realized something, and walked to the bamboo grove next to her.
"Nian'an, Nianning?"
When Nian'an and Nianning realized that their princess had discovered them, they could no longer hide and immediately came out of the bamboo forest.
At the same time, she asked in confusion, "Your Highness, how did you know that the two of us were here?"
Shen Pingjin didn't speak, but her brows furrowed slightly.
The way he looked at Nian An was as if he were looking at an idiot.
Nian'an was even more puzzled: "Miss?!"
Shen Pingjin shook her head, stepped forward and patted Nian An on the head: "You have to understand that we've been together for so many years. Knowing your personalities, you wouldn't come to see me if you knew I was awake?"
Nian'an chuckled: "I see, I was just momentarily foolish."
But then her smile slowly froze, and Shen Pingjin frowned as she watched.
"Is there something you want to say?"
Nian'an looked troubled.
Shen Pingjin frowned even more deeply. What exactly was this girl trying to say?
Nian Ning noticed Nian An's hesitation and stepped forward slightly to explain:
“Your Highness, Nian’an is too embarrassed to say it, so let me speak for her.”
Nian An was still hesitating, but upon hearing this, her face flushed, yet she did not stop Nian Ning.
Shen Pingjin became even more puzzled.
However, after hearing what Nian Ning said next, Shen Pingjin no longer found it strange.
"Here's the thing, Nian'an and Yeting made plans to have a drink under the moon on the fifteenth of this month, but the fifteenth is almost here and Yeting is nowhere to be seen."
“Normally, Ye Ting would have told us when he returned, but this time, not only did he not come to find us, he was nowhere to be seen.”
Shen Pingjin glanced at Nian An, and when she noticed that Nian An's face was flushed, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Oh my, this little girl and Ye Ting... it seems like there's something going on between them.
Nian'an also noticed Shen Pingjin's gaze, her cheeks flushed, and she said reproachfully, "Your Highness!"
Shen Pingjin smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't look at you like that anymore. Ye Ting is not my bodyguard. Only Yan Jue should know his whereabouts. Don't worry, as far as I know, Ye Ting always keeps his promises."
"If he personally promised you that he would have a drink with you under the moon in his mansion on the 15th, it means that he will definitely come on the 15th. You just need to wait for him."
Seeing Nian'an's expression gradually soften, Shen Pingjin couldn't help but pat her head: "You, are you so worried about Ye Ting? I've known you for so many years, and I've never seen you look at me like this before."
Shen Pingjin said regretfully, "Alas, what a pity."
"princess!"
Nian'an looked annoyed, but carefully said, "Actually, in this servant's heart, Miss is the most important."
This time, Nian'an did not address Shen Pingjin as Princess, but as Miss.
Shen Pingjin's eyes reddened. "Don't worry, I was just joking with you. You don't have to take it seriously."
"Mmm!" Nian'an nodded vigorously.
Shen Pingjin looked at Nian Ning beside her: "Nian Ning, do you have someone you love?"
Nianning blushed: "What do you mean by having someone else in your heart? This servant only wants to stay by Miss's side and serve Miss for the rest of my life."
Chen Pingjin shook her head.
"Something's wrong with you."
Nianning stammered, "Miss, why did you suddenly say that? This servant... this servant's loyalty to you is as clear as day!"
"I know." Shen Pingjin glanced at Nian Ning, who was acting like a quail, with amusement: "You and Nian An are both by my side. The three of us grew up together. How could I not know what you're thinking?"
Seeing that Nian'an and Nianning were both silent, Shen Pingjin felt that her guess was probably correct.
but……
In her past life, she and Yan Jue had no interaction, so Nian An and Ye Ting had no connection. And Nian Ning, who did she love?
Shen Pingjin quickly remembered something.
After sending the two away, Shen Pingjin returned to her room to rest, lying on the soft couch and reminiscing about her past life.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
For example, why did Yan Jue know where her tombstone was? And why was he holding the brocade that was confiscated when the Shen family was executed in his previous life? And why was Yan Jue the regent of Dongyue, the god of war in the eyes of the people?
