Chapter 553: She did something immoral and suddenly became a princess

Shen Chuwei was brought into the palace by the Emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom with a confused look on her face. The palace was indeed much cooler than outside.

Ye Haoting instructed the maid beside him, "Prepare some exquisite cakes."

The little palace maid responded and turned around to prepare. After a while, she brought up three plates of exquisite pastries and placed them in front of Shen Chuwei.

Shen Chuwei was still confused. She secretly glanced at the Emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom and her hands involuntarily pinched the soles of Xuetuan's feet. Didn't the emperor always have a serious face?

Why is the Emperor of Nanzhao different?

On the contrary, it is a bit amiable~

Ye Haoting sat opposite Shen Chuwei, looking at her eyes full of spirit, which had not changed much since she was a child. Seeing that she was sitting still, he said softly, "Xiaojiu, eat some cakes first."

"...Okay." Shen Chu lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the Yuyong pastry in front of her. It was naturally more exquisite than the ones outside. She licked her lips. The emperor asked her to eat, so she naturally had to cooperate~

She picked up a piece of yellow pastry, put it into her mouth and took a bite. It had a dense texture and was slightly sweet, which was the taste that Xiao Jinyan liked.

Ye Haoting's wise eyes were always staring at her. Seeing her eating pastries, Xiaojiu had loved eating them since she was a child, and this had never changed.

"Xiaojiu, where have you been for so long? Even I don't recognize you?"

Shen Chuwei looked at Ye Haoting in confusion and blinked his big beautiful eyes twice, "I guessed right, you are the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom, right?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Ye Haoting's eyes. He always felt that Feng Wuyou in front of him was a little strange. He continued to ask: "Did something happen to you during these years of disappearance?"

Shen Chuwei was eating pastries and felt that the emperor in front of her was a little strange. He did not act like an emperor when they met for the first time and asked some strange questions.

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Ye Haoting asked again: "Aren't you Xiaojiu?"

Shen Chu replied subconsciously: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Ye Haoting looked at her for a while and came to the conclusion that she had lost her memory.

"Someone, please ask Doctor Yu to come over."

Shen Chuwei: “…” What do you want Doctor Yu to do?

The eunuch guarding the door immediately trotted to the Imperial Hospital.

Soon, an old doctor who was over fifty years old came in with a medicine box and walked in respectfully, "Your Majesty."

Ye Haoting ordered: "Doctor Yu, take a look at Xiaojiu."

"Here." Doctor Yu took a few steps forward, put the medicine box on the table, opened it, took out the medical pad and placed it in front of Shen Chuwei, motioning her to stretch out her wrist.

Shen Chuwei didn't know what they wanted to do, so she naturally wouldn't let them diagnose her pulse. She hugged Xuetuan tightly and said, "I'm not sick."

Seeing this, Ye Haoting thought she was afraid, that she had grown up but her courage had dwindled... He soothed her gently, "Xiaojiu, don't be afraid, Doctor Yu is just taking your pulse."

Shen Chuwei still shook her head, "I don't take pulses."

"......This", Doctor Yu looked at the emperor in embarrassment.

Seeing that Xiaojiu insisted, Ye Haoting did not make things difficult for her. He waved his hand at Doctor Yu, signaling him to leave.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Yu lowered his head, packed up his medicine box, and left.

Shen Chuwei looked at the unfamiliar palace and felt that it would be better for her to leave the palace first.

"I have already sent Caiyu back." She turned her head to look at the silly bird on her shoulder. If she didn't go down yet, what would happen if she pooped?

She had the good fortune to see a bird poop on another person's head, and she heard that pooping on someone's head would bring bad luck.

Ye Haoting thought that she had been missing for so many years and suddenly appeared. She had become much less courageous. She was probably scared by the bad guys. He was afraid of scaring Xiaojiu, so his tone slowed down again.

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. You'll remember it later."

Shen Chuwei finally understood what the emperor meant by that. The emperor thought she had forgotten it. Wait, she suddenly widened her eyes. Could the Xiaojiu he was talking about be Feng Wuyou?

She had seen a portrait of Feng Wuyou when he was a child, and he looked somewhat similar to her, and Feng Wuyou's nickname was Xiaojiu.

So, the emperor mistook her for Feng Wuyou?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was greater.

Ye Haoting soothed her gently, "Just settle down and treat this place as your own home."

Shen Chuwei stood up suddenly and said, "I can't live here. You got the wrong person."

“Don’t be afraid.” Ye Haoting stood up and comforted her, letting her sit down again. “You don’t even remember, so how do you know that I recognized the wrong person? You can stay here boldly. I will write a letter to the Imperial Master and ask him to take a look at you.”

When Shen Chuwei wanted to explain that she was not Feng Wuyou, she immediately shut up when she heard the word "National Master". They were worried about where to find the National Master. If they could meet the National Master by staying here, it would be fine.

It's a bit unethical to pretend to be Feng Wuyou just to stay here~

Shen Chuwei was actually very conflicted, but she thought about how Xiao Jinyan was able to recover his memory.

After Xiao Jinyan's memory recovered, she explained that she was not Feng Wuyou, or sneaking away... It's not impossible~

So she was just being immoral this time?

Ye Haoting was the emperor who was busy with many things and government affairs. He ordered, "Come here, take the princess back to Wuyou Palace to rest."

When Shen Chuwei heard the word "princess", she wondered if Feng Wuyou was the emperor's daughter?

But the emperor's surname is Ye. Could it be that he took his mother's surname?

Was it so avant-garde in ancient times?

She secretly glanced at Ye Haoting, wanting to see if they looked alike.

Two young palace maids walked in from outside the hall and led Shen Chuwei out.

Shen Chuwei followed behind with a guilty conscience.

Ye Haoting looked at Xiaojiu's leaving back. He thought he would never see her again after so many years of disappearance, but he didn't expect to see her again. With a smile in his eyes, he went to Yu's study to handle government affairs.

Shen Chuwei followed the palace maid slowly, holding Xuetuan in her arms, looking around the Nanzhao Palace. She walked for a long time, making her already sore legs even weaker.

The maid lowered her brows and nodded, "Princess, we have arrived at the Worry-Free Palace."

Cai Yu fluttered her wings and flew up from her shoulders, then slowly flew in.

Shen Chuwei raised his head and looked at the plaque above his head. On it were written the three characters "Wuyou Palace". Even the name of the palace was Wuyou, so Feng Wuyou was the princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom?

She followed the palace maid in and saw two peach trees planted in the front yard. Under the trees was a swing that looked quite old.

Various flowers are planted around the peach tree. At a glance, you can see clusters of flowers and spring has arrived.

Going forward, there is an arch bridge. Under the arch bridge is the clearly visible lake water, in which several goldfish are chasing each other.

On the right side of the arch bridge is a lotus pond, into which the lake water flows. Next to the lotus pond is a rockery, and next to the rockery is a hexagonal pavilion.

There is a bamboo forest next to the hexagonal pavilion, and it will be very cool in the pavilion in summer.

The front yard alone occupies such a large area, which is enough to show how big the Wuyou Palace is.

Shen Chuwei followed the maid to the bedroom and heard the maid say, "Someone will clean here every day, Princess, rest assured. If you need anything, just tell me directly."

Shen Chu nodded guiltily, "...Okay."

The two palace maids slowly retreated.

After the palace maid left, Shen Chuwei put Xuetuan down and saw the soft couch. She couldn't wait to lie down on it. She was exhausted after walking so much.

She glanced at the snowball and saw it was beside her, then she closed her eyes with peace of mind and planned to take a nap.

Xuetuan raised his head and looked at Shen Chuwei. Seeing that she was asleep, he turned his head to look at the window. There was a bird cage hanging on the window. Caiyu was drinking water in the cage.

Xuetuan stared at Caiyu for a long time, then suddenly ran, jumped onto the window, and then jumped from the window to the bird cage. However, the bird cage was too high, and as soon as its front paws touched its body, it fell down at high speed.

The bird cage was shaking particularly violently because of Xuetuan's claw.

Cai Yu flapped his wings and flew out of the bird cage, suddenly swooping down towards Xuetuan. When Xuetuan was about to jump up, he suddenly gained altitude.

Xuetuan jumped up, but missed. He looked up at the colorful feathers circling above his head, as if unwilling to give up.

After flying back and forth for a while, Xuetuan felt a little tired, so he stopped taking care of Caiyu and walked gracefully to Shen Chuwei's feet and lay down.

Cai Yu flapped his wings for a long time and felt that he had been teased enough, so he returned to the cage to rest.

Xiao Jinyan came back from outside and bought Shen Chuwei's favorite cakes and stinky tofu. He pushed the door open and walked in, went straight to the bed, and found that she was not in bed.

"Xiaojiu?"

He glanced around the guest room. The room was not big and could be scanned in one glance. There was no sign of Shen Chuwei or Xuetuan in the room, which made him start to feel nervous.

He hurried out of the guest room and knocked on Wu Tan's door first.

The knock on the door was somewhat urgent. Wu Tan opened the door and saw Xiao Jinyan. He asked, "Mr. Xiao, is there anything I can do for you?"

Xiao Jinyan looked inside and didn't see Shen Chuwei. He asked, "Shen Chuwei is gone. Did you see her?"

Wu Tan's eyes flashed with anxiety, "The poor monk has been meditating in the room, and I haven't seen her. Could she have gone out to play?"

Xiao Jinyan knew that Shen Chuwei was no longer a child, so it was normal for her to go out. However, he thought that it would be unsafe for a weak girl like her to go out alone in an unfamiliar place.

He didn't answer and just turned and left.

Xiao Jinyan walked all the way to the counter and asked, "Boss, did you see my wife go out?"

Xiao Jinyan's voice was urgent. The shopkeeper saw too many people and experienced a lot every day. When he saw that he was so anxious, he guessed that his wife was missing.

Because the shopkeeper is more conspicuous than his peers, it is easy for him to remember.

"That afternoon, I saw her go out with the cat in her arms, and she never came back."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Does the shopkeeper know where she went?"

Shen Chuwei carried the cat out, and the shopkeeper paid special attention to it.

The shopkeeper pointed to the right and said, "Go that way."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xiao Jinyan thanked him and chased after him.

Looking at the busy streets, Shen Chuwei, who is greedy, would go to the food stalls.

He strode towards the snack stand.

Wu Tan ran out of the inn quickly, and when he saw Xiao Jinyan running far away, he quickly chased after him.

Shen Chuwei was awakened by surprise. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was already dark. "How long have I slept?"

She hurriedly got up from the couch and walked quickly out of the bedroom.

As soon as she came out, two palace maids came up to her and bowed, "What do you want, Princess?"

Shen Chuwei said without thinking: "I want to leave the palace."

It was already dark now, and Xiao Jinyan would definitely be worried if he found out that she was not in the inn.
