Chapter 85 Because I'm Not Important

There were six little ones in total, and all six little mouths were eating the vegetable leaves in Shen Chuwei's hands.

Xiao Jinyan had seen enough and walked over.

Shen Chuwei was holding vegetable leaves in her hand and she saw a figure walking towards her from the corner of her eye. She raised her head curiously and saw Xiao Jinyan walking towards her.

She threw away the vegetable leaves, stood up, and bowed: "Your Highness."

When Shen Chuwei raised her head, Xiao Jinyan saw her fair and tender face and was a little surprised, "Is your face healed?"

Shen Chuwei's eyebrows curved slightly: "Yes, these red dots come and go quickly. Your Highness, do you believe what I said now?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "No wonder Doctor Yu was so sure that you didn't get smallpox. It turns out that your face has healed. Fortunately, your face has healed."

Otherwise, those two quack doctors would definitely say it was smallpox.

"Were you frightened today?" But looking at her, she didn't look frightened.

Shen Chu shook her head slightly: "As long as Your Highness is here, I am not afraid."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned when he heard this. This was not the first time he heard her say this, and it also showed that she really trusted him.

If something really happened, he might not be able to stop his father's decision.

However, a woman was so dependent on him that he was reluctant to disappoint her.

He looked at the six little cuties on the ground, who were fighting for a vegetable leaf.

“They seem to have grown a little.”

What Shen Chuwei saw was not six little ones, but a group of chickens. Her eyes were full of anticipation, like a mother hoping that her children will grow up quickly.

"Of course, I feed them every day. They grow very fast, so fast that Your Highness won't be able to recognize them."

Xiao Jinyan chuckled: "How could I not recognize them?"

Shen Chuwei did not refute it. Only when he actually saw it, could he fully appreciate the chicken's 18 changes.

"Your Highness, are you going to catch the spy in the East Palace?"

Xiao Jinyan asked doubtfully, "How did you know there were spies in the East Palace?"

Shen Chuwei said: "I guessed it."

Xiao Jinyan thought about the growth on her face caused by eating pastries, so he raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, "If you were smarter than now, you wouldn't have been poisoned and disfigured."

Shen Chuwei touched her forehead and said vaguely: "I will remember this in the future."

"Don't eat the food given to you by others, especially in this palace. You may lose your life if you are not careful. Do you understand?" Xiao Jinyan did not exaggerate. He said it to let her know that she should not just eat all day without knowing how she died.

Shen Chuwei thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.

"Your Highness, I can actually tell whether food is poisonous or not."

Xiao Jinyan obviously didn't believe it: "Then how did you get tricked? Your face was almost ruined."

Shen Chuwei whispered: "It doesn't matter whether I am good-looking or not. There are so many beauties in the East Palace anyway. One more or one less won't make a difference."

Shen Chuwei's whispering sounded no more than the babbling of a two-year-old child to Xiao Jinyan, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

"What did you say? Speak louder."

Shen Chuwei coughed twice: "What I meant is that I ate the cake on purpose."

As soon as Xiao Jinyan heard it, he knew that this was not what she had just whispered. He suddenly thought that he might be able to hear what Shen Chuwei was thinking with the help of the snowball, so he decided to try it next time.

"Why?"

Shen Chuwei explained everything: "Because my father asked me to compete for his favor, I also wanted to make my sister look good in front of His Highness. If I were to be disfigured, my father would have no hope for me."

Xiao Jinyan then realized that Shen Chuwei had gone through all these things during her visit to her relatives. In order to make Minister Shen give up on her, she even dared to eat drugged cakes. Was her purpose to disfigure her?

"Don't pay attention to them. Shen Liangyuan is too scheming. You should keep your distance from her in the future. Do you understand?"

Shen Chuwei nodded obediently, "I will listen to your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan nodded and said, "Don't do such a stupid thing next time. You will lose more than you gain."

Shen Chuwei frowned, "I understand."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes were cold and gloomy: "Now that the spy has been exposed, how can I keep her?"

Shen Chuwei clenched his fist, "Come on, Your Highness!"

This way she can continue to eat and drink for free in peace.

Xiao Jinyan looked at her pink and tender fist and couldn't help but smile, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so take a good rest."

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously. No one could sleep as well as she did.

"I will."

Xiao Jinyan stared at her smiling eyes for a long time before he looked away and left Xiyun Pavilion.

The first place Xiao Jinyan went to was Shen Liangyuan's Lanyue Palace. Previously, in Yu's study, he heard from Concubine Yu Gui that the spy was in the Lanyue Palace.

Cai He ran in happily, "My lady, His Highness is here."

His Highness has not visited Shen Mingzhu once since she came back from the Shen Residence, as she was under house arrest and could not leave Lanyue Palace.

Now that His Highness is here, how can I not be happy?

She hurriedly looked left and right in the mirror, adjusted her hair, and then stood up to greet him.

"May your highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan strode in and glanced at Shen Mingzhu, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Mingzhu stood up and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a smile, "Your Highness, do you want to have dinner together today?"

Xiao Jinyan straightened her clothes and said calmly, "I came here to pick a capable woman from your palace to serve in my bedroom."

Shen Mingzhu smiled attentively when she heard this, "I will ask them all to come over, Your Highness, please choose whatever you want."

Xiao Jinyan: "Well, ask them all to come over."

Shen Mingzhu turned around and told Caihe: "Ask them all to come over."

"Yes." Cai He ran out in small steps.

After a while, six palace maids came in from outside, lined up in a row, and stood in front of Xiao Jinyan to pay their respects.

"May your highness be blessed with good health."

Shen Mingzhu pointed at the six maids in front of her, with a flattering smile on her face: "Your Highness, all the maids I have here are here. What kind do you want?"

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the six maids in front of him. Their looks and figures were all acceptable, and you couldn't tell by just looking at them. He asked in a deep voice, "Who among you is willing to serve me in my bedroom?"

The six maids did not dare to agree and glanced at Shen Liangyuan in unison, because they knew that Shen Liangyuan had a bad temper.

Shen Mingzhu couldn't help cursing in her heart, His Highness asked you, why are you looking at me? If you don't know, His Highness would think I don't want to.

"Your Highness is asking you a question. If you are willing to go, please stand up."

The six maids looked at each other, and were all eager to try.

One of the maids could not hold back any longer and took the lead to step forward and kneel on the ground, "I am willing to serve Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes to look at the maid kneeling in front of him. He couldn't see her face because he lowered his head. "Raise your head so that I can take a look."

"Yes." The maid slowly raised her head and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting on the throne, her eyes somewhat evasive.

Xiao Jinyan asked: "What's your name? What do you do?"
