Chapter 97 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 11
Xiao Yan held Xiaoyun in his arms. He seemed to see Xiaoyun’s shadow in “his own” face, with red at the corners of his eyes, looking charming and attractive.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, the air gradually warmed up, Xiao Yan lifted the quilt...
As a man, even if he doesn't have strong sexual desires, his body will still have instinctive reactions, but this time the feeling is particularly different.
His soul seemed to rise into the air, looking down at everything. It was an unprecedented wonderful feeling.
It was no longer a simple release of desire, his soul felt incomparable joy and happiness.
After a long time, Ji Yunhuan's consciousness had become a little fuzzy. A white light flashed before her eyes. As the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, she was shocked and finally felt relieved.
After Xiao Yan regained consciousness and cleaned up, he changed clothes for Xiaoyun, and the two of them finished their breakfast in silence.
At noon, the atmosphere was finally less awkward.
Ji Yunhuan was sitting in a wheelchair directing Xiao Yan to cut vegetables, when suddenly her vision went dark. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself holding a kitchen knife, with shredded meat of varying thicknesses on the chopping board.
After a few thumps, clear strands of meat were placed in the bowl.
Ji Yunhuan put down the kitchen knife, stretched comfortably, and shook his legs. It felt so good to be back in his own body!
She looked at the sundial in the courtyard and pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Highness, we have just changed for a day and a night. Will it be like this every time in the future? I was worried that I would never be able to change it back, but I won't be afraid anymore."
Xiao Yan looked at his large hands with distinct joints and knew that the two had already exchanged hands.
He felt a little regretful in his heart, and even a little greedy for the feeling of holding Xiaoyun in his hands.
Holding her and hugging her, Xiaoyun could only call him even when going to the toilet. Xiaoyun relied on him and could not live without him for anything. This feeling fascinated him.
"It's changed back already?" Xiao Yan was a little stunned.
Ji Yunhuan saw Xiao Yan's lost look and thought that Xiao Yan had suddenly returned to his original body and was feeling sad that he couldn't move, so he comforted him:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Your leg will definitely be cured. One day, you will be able to walk and run like a normal person. I will always be with Your Highness."
In his previous life, Xiao Yan's legs were cured, but probably because he had been paralyzed for many years and had not moved, even though he could stand up and walk, he still had some difficulty walking fast. Some people even privately called him the "lame emperor."
However, she has already added the fitness pills into Xiao Yan's food little by little. She also massages Xiao Yan's legs on weekdays. Xiao Yan's legs will definitely be healthy in the future.
Xiao Yan slid his wheelchair to the stove to light the fire. "Now that I'm back, hurry up and cook. I'm hungry!"
Ji Yunhuan responded and quickened his pace. Soon, four dishes and a soup were served on the table.
The weather was very good today, the sun was warm overhead, and the two of them had their meal in the yard.
The East Palace, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became lively, and noisy sounds were heard outside the gate.
The guard at the door weighed the heavy gold in his hand and urged, "Hurry up! If His Majesty knows that we let someone in private, we will lose our heads."
Manager Li touched his big belly and laughed cheerfully, "Your Majesty has long forgotten about the Eastern Palace. How can a useless person compare to the favor of the Fifth Prince? What future do you have guarding the Eastern Palace? Now that this matter is over, the Fifth Prince will have to rely on you for his benefits in the future."
The guard smiled and immediately opened the door to let the person in.
Steward Li led a dozen powerful eunuchs into the East Palace in a swaggering manner. His attitude was particularly arrogant. When he saw Xiao Yan in the courtyard, he did not salute him, but instead said sarcastically:
"Your Highness, is all right? No, he is now deposed. I am tongue-tied, so please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Xiao Yan put down his chopsticks and glanced at Manager Li with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Is trespassing into the East Palace a capital crime?"
Steward Li gave a wink to the eunuch behind him, and everyone immediately dispersed and surrounded Xiao Yan and Ji Yunhuan.
"Your Highness, please do not wrongly accuse me. I was ordered to investigate a case. This criminal stole the Fifth Prince's jade pendant. He must be arrested and beaten to death for the crime of theft!"
"This kind of lowly maidservant is really not fit to serve Your Highness. I will report back to the Imperial Concubine and then select a better one for Your Highness to use."
Ji Yunhuan stood up. Now that she was a member of the Eastern Palace, she naturally didn't need to be polite to Manager Li. "You keep saying that I stole. Where is the evidence? Who saw it?"
Steward Li pointed at the delicious food on the table and shouted, "This is the evidence! If you didn't steal, how could a slave like you have so many good things?"
Ji Yunhuan sneered, "This is the Eastern Palace! As a prince, your Highness naturally has his share. How can this be used as evidence of my theft?"
"Manager Li is so arrogant that he wants to kill people without any evidence. Whose orders are you following? What case are you investigating? Do you have a written order from His Majesty? If not, who gave you the courage to break into the East Palace and search?"
Manager Li was blocked from saying a word. He just found a random excuse to come in and arrest people. Let alone the emperor's order, he didn't even have the imperial concubine's order.
Xiao Yan reached his hand under the wheelchair and said grimly, "Although the East Palace is dilapidated, not just anybody can come in. If you don't get out of here, I will not be polite!"
Manager Li sneered, "You are just a useless person. I want to see how you can be rude to me!"
"Come here, take this criminal slave to me! Once we get to the Ministry of Punishment, I'll see how you can still be stubborn!"
The few powerful eunuchs closest to Ji Yunhuan immediately rushed over, trying to grab the first credit.
Ji Yunhuan dodged in panic, only to hear a whoosh sound and then a eunuch fell straight down. Warm blood gushed out and dyed the withered grass red.
Xiao Yan drew his bow and shot arrows, and the eunuchs around Ji Yunhuan fell down one after another. Each arrow pierced through the chest without any error, and they died instantly.
The remaining eunuchs were so frightened that their legs went weak and they didn't dare to get close to Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Xiao Yan was no simple man. Even though he was paralyzed in a wheelchair, he was not someone who could be bullied.
She immediately ran to Xiao Yan. The quiver was hanging on the back of the wheelchair. Xiao Yan reached out to touch it, and Ji Yunhuan immediately took out a quiver and handed it to him.
The tip of the arrow was aimed at Manager Li, and the bowstring was pulled into a semicircle, ready to be shot.
Manager Li's legs trembled as he staggered back, "Your Highness... Your Highness, please spare my life! I will leave immediately..."
The sound stopped abruptly, and a delicate arrow hit Manager Li right between the eyebrows, and the tail of the arrow was still buzzing and vibrating.
All the eunuchs knelt down and didn't even dare to escape.
Xiao Yan was finally satisfied. He plucked the bowstring lightly and pointed at a eunuch casually, "You, come here."
The eunuch almost crawled to Xiao Yan's feet, knelt on the ground and trembled, completely without the arrogance he had just shown.
"Go back and tell the Fifth Prince that Xiaoyun is my man. If you want him, ask him to come here in person. I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to do it! Go away! You're really making my place dirty!"
