Chapter 279 Hearing Xueyan's thoughts, the shameless man dared to set his sights on Hehuan Palace
After Shen Chuwei finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness wanted to leave a backdoor for yourself, why didn't you tell me? I almost thought there was a thief in the East Palace."
Shen Chuwei recounted what had just happened.
Xiao Jinyan laughed at her courage and said, "Next time you encounter such a situation, no matter where you are, don't put yourself in danger."
Shen Chuwei nodded obediently, "Then Your Highness, please be busy first. I will go back first."
Shen Chuwei was about to leave when Xiao Jinyan stopped her.
"Don't you have something to say? Go back after you finish speaking."
Shen Chuwei thought about it and nodded, thinking that it would only take a few minutes. "Today, I went to Xiyun Pavilion and found a dead sparrow in the chicken coop. I thought it was strange, so I checked the chicken feed and found that it was poisonous."
Xiao Jinyan frowned, "Someone poisoned the chicken food? What happened to the chickens and ducks?"
He remembered that last time, several chickens and ducks died and Xiaojiu was sad for a long time.
Shen Chuwei is an optimist, and the last time she was sad is already in the past.
This time she was a little proud, "I have learned a lesson. To be on the safe side, there is something to detoxify the water that the chickens drink every day, so even if someone deliberately poisons them, the chickens and ducks will be fine."
Xiao Jinyan chuckled: "No wonder you weren't sad at all when you found out someone poisoned you. It turns out you were prepared."
When Xiao Jinyan said this, his eyes suddenly darkened. "Poisoning you once or twice, it seems someone is deliberately targeting you. That little eunuch is just a scapegoat! I will find this person."
Shen Chu nodded slightly and yawned, "Then I will go back to rest. Your Highness should also finish your work and rest as soon as possible."
Xiao Jinyan didn't hold her back this time.

Concubine Xu hadn't slept well for two nights in a row. Today was the third night, and she had agreed on a meeting time with the man in black.
In order to save her life, she dared not to touch anyone.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she asked Caixia to light several lamps, with the purpose of darkening herself to make herself braver and to see the black-clad man's appearance clearly, so that she could have a chance to take revenge in the future.
Concubine Xu had been staring at the window until a black figure appeared in the room like a ghost. Even though she was prepared, she was still frightened.
But this time she saw clearly that the man in black had a slender figure, and his body wrapped in black clothes looked just right.
She had a black face scarf on her cheeks, revealing only a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Seeing the man in black approaching her, she couldn't help but grab her handkerchief and sit there pretending to be calm.
The man in black came straight to the mahogany round table and sat down, then raised his eyes to look at Concubine Xu who was sitting opposite him. He also saw Concubine Xu's appearance clearly. As expected of the prince's person, she was good-looking.
"Is there anyone named Xiaojiu?"
Concubine Xu shook her head. "I asked, but there is no one named Xiaojiu yet."
The man in black was not afraid that Concubine Xu would deceive him, and he was not sure whether Xiaojiu was in the palace. The last time he entered the palace was just a test of luck.
The man in black took out a pill from his arms, placed it in front of Concubine Xu, then turned and left.
After the man in black disappeared in the house, Xu Cefei finally reacted. He left just like that?
She looked at the pill on the table, picked it up impatiently, put it in her mouth and swallowed it, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Xiao Jinyan first asked someone to investigate the poisoning of the chickens and ducks, and then asked Liu Xi to call Lu Zhaoyan over.
When Lu Zhaoyan came over, Xiao Jinyan said straight to the point: "I want to know what Xueyan is thinking."
"I will go and prepare the talisman water right away." Lu Zhaoyan prepared the talisman water without stopping. The emperor had already given him the fortune based on his birth date.
Lu Zhaoyan was very efficient in his work and the talisman water was prepared quickly.
Xiao Jinyan drank the talisman water prepared by Lu Zhaoyan and did not rush to look for Xueyan.
Xiao Jinyan had dinner in the Hehuan Hall.
Chunxi prepared some dishes that Shen Chuwei and Xiao Jinyan liked.
Just as I started to eat, someone came in to report.
"Princess Xue is here."
Xiao Jinyan frowned when he heard this. He had been busy all day and really hated having someone disturb him and Xiaojiu's leisurely meal time.
Shen Chuwei had just picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth when she saw Xueyan coming. She looked at her favorite braised pork in front of her, picked up a few more pieces, and stuffed another piece into her mouth.
Xueyan walked over slowly and bowed, "May your highness be blessed with good health."
Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look over and saw that she was wearing gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup. It was obvious that she was dressed up.
"Is there something important, Princess Xue?"
Xueyan smiled, "I heard that Your Highness often has dinner in Hehuan Palace. The dishes in Hehuan Palace should be more to Your Highness' taste, so I wanted to come over and try them."
Then, she looked at Shen Chuwei again and asked softly, "Shen Liangdi, do you mind?"
Shen Chuwei puffed up her cheeks and said, "Of course I mind. The food is for two people. If Concubine Xue wants to try it, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
The smile on Xueyan's lips froze. She didn't expect Shen Chuwei to refuse so bluntly. It was obvious that she was trying to embarrass me on purpose.
Don’t you look at your own status? Can you compare with the concubine?
When Xiao Jinyan heard Xueyan's inner thoughts, he knew that Xueyan was not as simple as she appeared.
"Princess Xue, the meal is indeed for two people."
Xue Yan smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have a small appetite, so just a little will be enough."
It’s not easy to get me to leave, I insist on staying for dinner.
Xiao Jinyan: “…”
Shen Chuwei: “…”
Xueyan taught them a lesson as to how thick-skinned they could be.
Xueyan held up her skirt and sat down at the dining table. She looked at the three dishes and one soup in front of her and praised them, "They smell so good. No wonder His Highness comes to Hehuan Palace for meals every day. Shen Liangdi's cooking skills are really good."
In my mind, I was saying the opposite. The prince is coming to dine, and you only prepare three dishes and a soup? That's too shabby.
Shen Liangdi can only cook these dishes that are not served on the table?
Shen Chuwei couldn't hear what Xueyan was thinking. When she saw Xueyan sitting down, the chopsticks in her hand almost never stopped eating, for she was afraid that Xueyan would eat and she would have nothing to eat.
Xiao Jinyan heard it clearly. He turned his head to look at Xue Yan and said, "The food in Hehuan Palace is not to Concubine Xue's taste."
After that, he ordered: "Liu Xi, ask the lunch room to send some food to Concubine Xue."
"Yes." Liu Xi took the order and walked out.
Xueyan thought Xiao Jinyan was worried about her, so she said coquettishly, "Your Highness, I am not that coquettish. If Your Highness can eat, I can eat too. Besides, the food is delicious."
"Princess Xue is a princess, born delicate. These dishes are not suitable for her." Xiao Jinyan said one word at a time, you don't deserve to eat these dishes.
Xueyan always felt that Xiao Jinyan had something else to say. She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan, only to see him eating the food in the bowl slowly and leisurely, seeming to enjoy it very much.
Shen Chuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one was competing with her for the braised pork.
Xueyan sat there, and no one brought her any food or dishes, feeling a little awkward for a moment.
She looked at the furnishings of the Hehuan Palace and felt that it was better than staying in the Qimeng Palace. The key point was that it was next to the prince's bedroom.
If she lived in Hehuan Palace, Xiao Jinyan could stay at her place at night no matter how busy he was.
