Chapter 560 His reverse scale cannot be touched, Xiao Jinyan's bold move
Wu Tan ignored Ye Yuchen's expectant look and asked, "Have you met her?"
"No, I came to inform you as soon as I got the news. I haven't had time to go to the palace to take a look."
Ye Yuchen paused for a moment and said, "However, I do plan to go to the palace to see Princess Jiuyou. She has been missing for so long, what has she been through?"
Wu Tan was not sure whether the Princess Jiuyou in the palace was Shen Chuwei. If it was Shen Chuwei, would she have remembered her?
Ye Yuchen thought Wu Tan would be ecstatic when he heard the news about Princess Jiuyou, but he was surprised to find that Wu Tan was surprisingly calm.
"What's that expression on your face? Aren't you curious about what she's been through all these years? Don't you want to go back and see her? Do you really want everyone to think you're dead?"
If Wu Tan could even let go of Princess Jiuyou, let alone take back what belonged to him.
Wu Tan looked at the aggressive Ye Yuchen calmly and said, "Think about it again, poor monk."
Ye Yuchen looked at his indifferent expression and could not help but get anxious. He almost pointed at his forehead and scolded him: "What else do you want? Don't you care about Princess Jiuyou the most? She is back, but you are acting like a turtle!"
Regarding Ye Yuchen's excited reaction, Wu Tan remained calm: "The poor monk is now a monk."
Ye Yuchen stared at Wu Tan for a long time and had to admit that he had changed a lot over the years, to the point that he almost didn't recognize him.
He kindly reminded, "Then don't forget Ye Yuxi's thoughts. He is the prince now."
When Ye Yuxi was mentioned, a ripple appeared in Wu Tan's calm eyes. He looked at Ye Yuchen quietly, as if he was thinking.
Ye Yuchen didn't know what Wu Tan was thinking, but seeing his nonchalant look, he wanted to take off his robes and let him be a monk. Why?
In the dead of night
Xiao Jinyan was worried that Shen Chuwei would sneak into the palace again.
As soon as he arrived at the Worry-Free Palace, he sensed danger.
He tiptoed to the door of the bedroom and saw a large shadow at the door. With the help of the palace lantern above his head, he could vaguely see a giant... tiger? Lion? lying at the door.
It was too dark at night, and it looked a bit like a tiger or a lion, but it was much larger than any lions and tigers he had seen before.
Who released a wild beast at the entrance of Xiaojiumen?
What if I scare her?
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyan couldn't wait to go in and see her, but the beast was too big and was guarding the door, so going in through the window might scare it.
Xiao Jinyan estimated the distance to the window with his eyes, and tried to climb in through the window as quickly as possible before the beast discovered him.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Jinyan seized the opportunity and quickly ran towards the window.
The tiger lion, which had been lying motionless, suddenly raised its head, and its big eyes like copper bells glowed green in the night.
Xiao Jinyan, who had just run over, saw it and was frightened.
Who wouldn't be nervous facing such a huge beast?
Just as Xiao Jinyan rushed over, the tiger-lion beast suddenly stood up with a ferocious look in its eyes.
Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to stop. He was afraid that if he didn't stop, the beast in front of him would suddenly go crazy and attract the guards.
Looking at the window which is only a few feet away, it would be better if the speed was a little faster.
The beast in front of him didn't move, and Xiao Jinyan didn't dare to move either.
The stalemate lasted for a cup of tea. Xiao Jinyan became a little impatient. He finally sneaked into the palace, but was stopped outside the door by the beast.
Just when Xiao Jinyan was getting impatient, the tiger-lion beast moved and walked over with its strong limbs.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Xiao Jinyan felt the ground tremble along with him.
Xiao Jinyan calmly put his hand into his sleeve. Just in case, he carried a dagger with him and would only take action when the beast approached.
It was only a few steps away, and the beast's strong limbs came over in a short while.
The moment he got closer, Xiao Jinyan felt the pressure from the beast's height, as well as the beast's savagery and ferocity.
The tiger-lion beast moved closer to Xiao Jinyan and sniffed. Feeling something was wrong, it sniffed again.
Xiao Jinyan held his breath and watched the beast as if it was smelling his body. The distance was too close and he could feel the beast's whiskers touching his cheeks, which felt like needles and a little painful.
I don’t know what this beast is doing?
The tiger lion sniffed for a long time, snorted, and then barked twice.
Xiao Jinyan: “…”
Shen Chuwei, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard the roar of the tiger-lion beast and opened his eyes abruptly, "Could the tiger-lion beast cause trouble again?"
The tiger-lion beast had been in Wuyou Palace for less than two days, but it had already done two earth-shattering things. The first was to knock the top of the rockery off, and the second was to break the door of the side hall because it also wanted to come in.
Fortunately, it was the door to the side hall. If the door to the bedroom was broken, she would have to sleep on an open-air bed tonight.
People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came twice in one day...
Shen Chuwei hurriedly got up from the bed, trotted to the door and opened it, then saw the tiger-lion beast's tail swaying in front of her.
She took a few steps forward, patted the tiger lion's butt, and said angrily: "You don't sleep at night, do you want to go to heaven?"
The tiger lion roared and turned to look over.
Xiao Jinyan heard Xiaojiu's voice and called out, "Xiaojiu."
Hey! That's Xiao Jinyan's voice.
Shen Chuwei looked outside and said, "Jinyan?"
"I'm here." Xiao Jinyan walked to the door from outside.
Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan's happy expression and threw herself into his arms, "Jinyan."
Xiao Jinyan saw that Shen Chuwei was only wearing an undergarment, frowned, hugged her in his arms, then strode in and closed the door.
The tiger-lion beast looked at the tightly closed door and snorted in dissatisfaction, but it did not dare to force its way in because it had already broken one door, and if it broke another one, Xiaojiu would be angry.
It suddenly felt a little disgusted that it was too big. It could have gotten in before.
Xiao Jinyan held her in his arms and walked inside. "Why did you come out without putting on any clothes?"
Shen Chuwei looked down at her clothes, then raised her head to explain, "I was too anxious, thinking there were no men here, so I came out like this. But the tiger lion beast was guarding the door, so no one dared to get close."
Xiao Jinyan came to the bed, put her on the bed, and asked in confusion: "Is that a tiger-lion beast at the door? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"I haven't heard of it either. I heard that the tiger-lion beast was raised by Princess Jiuyou, Feng Wuyou, since it was a child. The tiger-lion beast is like Xuetuan, very spiritual and very smart."
Shen Chuwei leaned close to Xiao Jinyan and whispered, "Yesterday, I almost got exposed, but luckily I have always had good luck, and I happened to have a special skill, so I was able to escape unscathed."
When Xiao Jinyan heard that her secret was exposed, she became extremely nervous. Impersonating Princess Jiuyou was a crime of deceiving the emperor, a crime punishable by death!
"What's going on?"
Shen Chuwei told Xiao Jinyan everything that happened yesterday, "That's roughly what happened, but the princess is injured and won't come to Wuyou Palace in the next two days."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes flashed with surprise, "You can understand what animals say?"
Shen Chuwei said: "Not really, but I can understand what they want to express from their eyes."
Xiao Jinyan was a little shocked. Being able to read animals' thoughts was already very impressive. How could ordinary people know this?
"Why didn't you tell me about this before?"
Shen Chuwei looked innocent: "You didn't ask."
Xiao Jinyan thought about this period of time and realized that he had indeed not asked any related questions.
Shen Chuwei held his hand and said with a smile: "Jinyan, don't think the tiger lion beast is very fierce, it is actually quite cute."
Xiao Jinyan's mouth twitched: "...It's cute? I didn't see that."
When he first arrived, he was extremely nervous. He was afraid of fighting with the tigers and lions, and he was also afraid of being discovered.
Shen Chuwei happily shared the interesting story of the tiger and lion coming to Wuyou Palace, and couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking.
If Shen Chuwei hadn't said it, Xiao Jinyan would have found it hard to imagine that such a big kid could have such a cute move~
Shen Chuwei stayed in the palace and had good food and drinks. She was not bored with Caiyu Xuetuan, Tiger Lion and Beast as her companions. However, Xiao Jinyan was not around and she missed him very much.
"Jinyan, are you a little anxious?"
Rather than being anxious to find the national teacher, Xiao Jinyan is most concerned about her comfort now.
"I'm just a little worried about you."
Shen Chuwei said, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine here. I just don't know if the Imperial Master is on his way back. How long will it take for him to get back?"
"The princess you mentioned is obviously targeting you. She thought of using the tiger-lion beast this time, but who knows what she will do next time. You are unfamiliar with this place, and there are dangers everywhere."
Xiao Jinyan made a decision when he said this. "Tonight, you come with me out of the palace. When the Imperial Master comes back, we will go find him."
Xiao Jinyan is a man of action, so he picked up the clothes and put them on her.
Shen Chuwei hugged Xiao Jinyan's neck and stopped her from putting on her clothes.
"It has come to this. If you let me leave the palace, wouldn't that be a waste of effort? The Imperial Master is here. Although I am a fake Princess Jiuyou, he will definitely give me some face. Wouldn't it be natural to let him take a look at you? Otherwise, what identity would we have to ask the Imperial Master for help?"
At this point, Shen Chuwei emphasized, "Besides, I'm not that easy to bully. I have Xuetuan. Even the tiger lion beast can help me."
Xuetuan Xiao Jinyan knew about it. As for the tiger-lion beast, they had only been in contact with it for two days. If Princess Jiuyou really came back, would they still protect her?
The answer is no.
"It's easy to dodge a direct attack, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Do you understand?"
"I'm not a three-year-old child. What's more, Lord Lu has told me my fortune and said that I will live to be a hundred years old and be very rich." Shen Chuwei emphasized the last sentence on purpose. She has always had good luck.
Xiao Jinyan sighed helplessly, "I just don't feel comfortable with you being alone in this deep palace."
"It's not the first time I've experienced this. I'm familiar with the experience of staying in the deep palace." Shen Chuwei chuckled twice. When she first came here, she was a punished concubine. It was also in the deep palace, but it was much more difficult than it is now.
Xiao Jinyan knew what she meant. Although being able to become a legend was more or less a matter of luck.
"You are just lucky. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Shen Chuwei said: "You are right, I was lucky, my luck has always been good."
Xiao Jinyan snorted and did not comment.
"I have heard a lot of rumors about the Imperial Master these past two days."
Shen Chuwei became interested when he heard this, "What kind of person is the national teacher? Is he easy to talk to?"
"I heard that the Imperial Preceptor is very cold-blooded and even the Emperor can't summon him. Do you think he is easy to talk to?" Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. The implication was very obvious. Even if the Imperial Preceptor had the ability, it would be difficult to invite him.
"You don't even give the emperor face?" Shen Chuwei was a little surprised. "I came here to ask about the Imperial Master, and I found that the maids here are all newly recruited, and they know nothing about the Imperial Master, Princess Jiuyou."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "Do you still want to stay here?"
Shen Chuwei said firmly, "Of course you want to. Look, the Imperial Master doesn't even give you the face of the Emperor. If you leave the palace, you won't even have the chance to see the Imperial Master. I still look forward to you recovering your memory, and then we can go back to Daxia together."
Shen Chuwei had never thought that one day she would be like Chunxi, speaking earnestly and earnestly. Now she deeply understands how difficult it is for Chunxi.
What could Xiao Jinyan say? If she insisted, he would naturally support her, even if her identity was exposed that day, he would still be there.
After I figured it out, I stopped worrying about it.
The two sat side by side for a while, and Shen Chu raised his head slightly and asked, "Are you going back now?"
As they had never been separated before, Xiao Jinyan didn't think it was a big deal, but after being separated for two days, he found himself very uneasy.
"Not going back."
The words were so clear that Shen Chuwei of course understood what he meant and wanted to stay overnight.
Naturally, she had no objection. Fortunately, there were tigers and lions guarding the door, and the maids in the palace did not dare to get close, so they did not worry about being discovered.
Xiao Jinyan began to undress. He knew how bold his decision was, but it was within his limits.
Shen Chuwei lay in Xiao Jinyan's arms. She was so excited that she wasn't even sleepy. She put her hand on Xiao Jinyan's chest and touched him intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Jinyan's breath was a little unsteady. When he first came and saw her outfit, he had some thoughts on her. Now, that restless hand was acting recklessly, and he couldn't ignore it.
He lowered his head and asked hoarsely, "Can't sleep?"
"I was a little excited because you came suddenly..." and then I fell asleep.
However, Xiao Jinyan did not give him a chance to finish the second half of the sentence because he was blocked by the mouth.
It was already early morning when Shen Chuwei fell asleep.
Xiao Jinyan looked at the sky, then at the person sleeping in his arms. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still got up, started to put on his clothes, and then left quietly.
The tiger lion at the door squinted and saw a figure flying out...
Shen Chuwei slept until noon. If the prince hadn't come, she would probably have slept until noon.
The prince came to take her to familiarize herself with the palace environment, after all, she was going to live there permanently.
When Ye Yuxi came, he brought a lot of delicious food, most of which were Shen Chuwei's favorites.
She accepted all the food somewhat embarrassedly... "Prince, you are too polite."
Ye Yuxi smiled and said, "What's that? We used to do this too. As long as you like it, it's fine."
Shen Chu lowered her head guiltily, and looked at the pile of pastries, feeling even more guilty.
Shen Chuwei followed Ye Yuxi with her soft legs. She walked fast and slow, so slowly that Ye Yuxi couldn't help but worry.
"Xiaojiu, are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Chu smiled and said, "I didn't get enough rest last night, so I feel a little weak."
Ye Yuxi said anxiously: "If that's the case, then go back. It won't be too late to get familiar with it when you are better."
Shen Chuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Yuxi had this awareness. If it was another straight man, he would probably continue to take her shopping.
Ye Anyu walked over with the help of her maid and saw Princess Jiuyou. Although she didn't like her, she didn't forget her business.
"Brother Crown Prince, Third Brother is back."
