Yun Lian placed the items she had just taken from her bosom onto the table.
Two white jade hairpins, two tassels, and a dragon-shaped jade pendant.
The jade pendant has the character for "bamboo" engraved on the bottom. The jade used for the pendant is exquisite, not only warm and smooth, but also with a suitable temperature. Moreover, the characters on the jade pendant are painted with gold thread.
Yun Lian searched deep into the original owner's memories and finally found her memories about this jade pendant.
She had one of her own, with the character "怜" (pity) engraved on the bottom of the jade pendant.
There's only one possibility: Yun Na's frequent visits to her dilapidated courtyard under various pretexts are likely also in search of the jade pendant.
This sets the stage for her later impersonation of a princess.
Yun Lian pondered for a moment, a smile appearing in her eyes.
This world is quite interesting.
She didn't have complete information, and she didn't even know why the original owner was beaten.
I only know the general plot and the original owner's fate, but there is very little description of the original owner. Instead, the focus is on how much Yun Na is favored.
"Heh, trying to win yourself over? Well, I'm actually looking forward to it."
Yun Lian didn't even glance at the messy courtyard before returning to her simple room and collapsing into bed.
With her headache finally relieved, Yun Lian didn't wait for dawn. She chose a dark dress and went straight to Yun Na's boudoir.
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her breath mingling with that of her maid in the bedroom.
The maid nodded her head repeatedly, but dared not slacken her pace in the slightest, fearing that Yun Na might have some instructions. She squatted not far from Yun Na's bed.
Yun Lian's ears twitched.
They judged the time by the sound of the night watchman striking the gong outside the wall.
It was already four in the morning, and the sky was getting brighter, but they were wide awake. Today was not a good day to sneak in.
Yun Lian turned around, intending to sneak into the Prime Minister's room. Ironically, the Prime Minister was also tossing and turning, waking up his sleeping wife, only to be kicked to the ground by her.
"It's true that people from the same family are alike."
It's impossible for her to fall asleep if she goes back to sleep.
Since Yun Lian was already there, she decided not to leave empty-handed and went to the palace as well.
Her movements were unpredictable; even a flower or a tree could become a foothold for her.
The trials and tribulations she endured in several worlds only made Yun Lian even more agile and nimble.
They sneaked into the Crown Prince's residence without making a sound.
The patrolmen outside are hardly worth noting.
However, considering that the Crown Prince might have secret guards, Yun Lian tried her best not to alert him and went directly to the Crown Prince's bedside in order to get the jade pendant.
Hearing the Crown Prince's long, even breathing, Yun Lian felt relieved and searched everywhere around his bed and in the cabinets.
"Strange, how far can the jade pendant grow?"
Yun Lian searched almost every available space, except for the Crown Prince, whose body remained unsearched.
He can't possibly wear it to bed, can he?
Despite her doubts, Yun Lian didn't want to let this opportunity slip by, and she tried to convince herself otherwise.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he carefully searched the prince's body.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached out to the Crown Prince, a pair of strong hands grabbed her and pulled her into their arms.
A pleasant sound, like the tinkling of a spring, rang out.
"Where did this petty thief come from? Stealing from me is a one-of-a-kind thing. Why don't you just tell me what you want and I'll give it to you?"
Yun Lian was pulled into his arms, and he took the opportunity to look her over.
As expected of the emperor's carefully selected son, he has a handsome face and an imposing presence.
It can easily crush many top celebrities in real life.
Yun Lian felt a strange sense of blood ties between them.
Just one glance at him and I felt a sense of closeness.
"The Crown Prince can give me whatever I want?"
Yun Lian was extremely grateful at this moment, as her face was covered, leaving only her eyes showing.
Yunxiao burst into hearty laughter.
"If I could give it to you, I wouldn't mind. But to come all this way in the middle of the night and leave you empty-handed is not the act of a gentleman."
Yun Lian used his support to get up.
"Never mind, Your Highness. The Crown Prince can't give me what I want. I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness."
The moment Yun Lian stood up, the Crown Prince's lazy expression, which had just been awakened, was nowhere to be seen.
Almost instantly, the two were locked in combat, exchanging blows, but both held back.
"Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry, young lady?"
Yun Lian's ears twitched as she heard a sound approaching from afar.
"I returned disappointed. Of course, I didn't want to waste any more time."
The young prince appears harmless on the surface, but he's quite adept at rallying people.
The thought that this was her adopted younger brother made Yun Lian want to laugh.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the fight, she grabbed him. With her still-chubby face, Yun Lian smiled slyly, like a cat that had just stolen a bite of fish, charming and adorable.
Taking advantage of the moment when Crown Prince Yunxiao was stunned, Yun Lian vanished from the spot in an instant.
She had just left when the guards arrived. They saw the Crown Prince, who wasn't even wearing shoes, kneeling on the ground to beg for forgiveness.
"Your subordinate is late, please punish me, Your Highness!"
"It's alright."
Yunxiao returned to bed in a daze, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Just seeing her eyes made him feel an immense sense of closeness.
It seems their relationship shouldn't be just like this; it should be much closer.
Yunxiao shook his head, trying to ignore the strange thoughts in his mind.
The 236th principle of being a ruler is to never let personal emotions lead you astray.
Yun Lian returned to her room and had barely lain down when it was broad daylight.
Yun Lian's back ached, entirely from the hard bed.
"You've really been spoiled. You used to be able to sleep under the open sky and on the ground, how come you can't even sleep on a wooden board now?"
However, she is not a masochistic person.
She was dissatisfied with everything about this little courtyard.
