Chen Yin was sarcastic in his heart, but his expression remained calm, "Why, are you my little fan?"
She raised her eyebrows, seeming interested.
Zhou Yi's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head, looking a little apprehensive. "Your Highness is so generous, and it should be so. I dare not call you a fan."
Chen Yin smiled softly. After being busy in the laboratory for several months and exhausting his brain cells in the Peony Palace, Chen Yin's current state was that of a living being half dead, with a faint sense of death all over his body.
"Get up. If they bully you again, you can always come to me."
Chen Yin's meaning was unclear. He curled his lips and patted his thin shoulder. "Work hard, young man, you have a bright future."
The others trembled and dared not look up.
Zhou Yi was stunned, flattered, and quickly bowed his head: "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness. I... I have no way to repay you."
He was extremely moved. He knelt on one knee and looked at the girl in front of him against the light, his eyes surging.
Chen Yin smiled with infinite tenderness, and her pair of soft almond eyes were watery, like the gentle streams in the south of the Yangtze River, pure and flawless. Her voice was sweet and pleasant, and she was very patient, without any class discrimination, which was different from all the nobles Zhou Yi had come into contact with.
"No need to repay me. I just helped someone when I saw him. I just happened to run into him. You can go home and take a day off today."
Having said that, Shen Yin turned to the head of the guards and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
The leader lowered his head and sweated profusely. He dared not object and agreed repeatedly, "Zhou Yi, since His Highness has spoken, you can go down and rest!"
"That's right! We just didn't recognize the real talent."
Zhou Yi was full of curiosity about Chen Yin. She was completely different from what the outside world described her as. She seemed like a synonym for beauty, a genius in medicine, with a beautiful appearance and an unworldly temperament, which made him not feel any dislike for her.
"Your Highness, don't blame them. I'm of humble origin, a hybrid of a mermaid and... a human. It's only natural that they look down on me."
His voice trembled, he lowered his eyes, knelt on one knee, pursed his thin lips, and his light blue pupils were hidden under his thick eyelashes, making them difficult to see clearly.
Jiang Zhiwei understood. "I see. But this is no excuse for bullying. I don't care what happens elsewhere. In the palace, under my watch, I will never allow such a thing to happen. If anyone in the palace bullies you in the future, you can always come to me."
He took out an access card and handed it to him.
"With this, you can come to my residence to find me, Zhou Yi, right? You can go down and rest now."
Zhou Yi paused, slowly reaching out to take the access card between Chen Yin's fingertips, his heart was in turmoil, he didn't expect that she was gentle and kind, which made him seem despicable.
Especially when he met Chen Yin's clear eyes, a sense of guilt came over him.
"Thanks."
Zhou Yi thanked him solemnly, holding the card, with a slight redness in the corners of his eyes. Before leaving, he turned back to look at Chen Yin. The ground was full of people who had just humiliated him.
Even though I knew it was all a play, I still felt complicated when I experienced it myself.
How could she fight against those people when she was so simple?
Zhou Yi walked alone on the streets of the palace, feeling desolate. He really didn't know how Chen Yin survived in this place.
He felt that he was committing a sin, but being kind to others was being cruel to himself. It was just a fleeting thought. Zhou Yi's eyes were firm and he clenched the access card in his hand.
Seeing that he had completely disappeared, Chen Yin used his mental power to scan around, confirmed that he was correct, and turned to the group of guards who had bullied Zhou Yi just now.
"What's going on? You've got nothing better to do than bully others. Is your level the only quality among our royal guards? Tell the truth about what's going on!!!"
Chen Yin's expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book. The guards kneeling on the ground had not yet reacted and looked confused.
Leader: "What? I don't understand what your Highness is saying."
Chen Yin went up and slapped him, then turned to look at the other half and slapped him twice.
Pointing his finger at their eyes, he said, "Don't treat me like a fool. Do you want to confess on your own, or do I go in and report to the Queen now?"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the group was frightened.
They didn't understand how the sound was pronounced.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The leader rushed forward and hugged Chen Yin's thighs, really scared. "I know I was wrong. We really know we were wrong. It was Zhou Yi who made us do this."
After listening to this, Chen Yin tutted and turned away, "Wouldn't it be better if you said so earlier?"
Glancing at the silent group, Chen Yin took out a wad of cash and patted it in his hands. "It's human nature to be greedy for money. I don't blame you."
They just breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
"But you are plotting against me, which is against morality."
Chen Yin circled around and around, making them almost pee their pants, and their legs were as soft as noodles and they couldn't even stand.
Chen Yin didn't comment and casually slapped the cash on the leader's face. "It's hot, I'll treat you to tea. As for Zhou Yi's matter, since he has arranged it that way, you should come to him once a day according to today's specifications. It will be considered as atonement. If you are discovered or if you talk too much..."
After a pause, Chen Yin chuckled, and there was a chill in his gentle words.
"Then I can only report to the Queen Mother that you have colluded with spies from the enemy country to try to steal the potion from me."
A group of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed their heads loudly, crying out that it was unfair and had nothing to do with them!
Chen Yin said coldly, "Do you want me to repeat it a second time? After the matter is completed, each person will receive 50,000 yuan for tea and water."
As soon as the words come out,
The leader fell to his knees and said, "I am willing to follow your Highness's orders!"
"It is our duty to share His Highness's worries!"
"Your Highness is so tolerant that we cannot even begin to match him."
When it came to the flattery part, Chen Yin could no longer bear it and waved his hand to let them go quickly.
From that day on, all the twists and turns Zhou Yi experienced were caused by Chen Yin. He was completely unaware of this and mistakenly thought that these people had turned against him and made their fake play real.
So Zhou Yi lived in dire straits in the following days. The probability of encountering Chen Yin in the palace was almost the same as winning the lottery. Zhou Yi was miserable.
…
"But you're backing down because of this little twist? This is the mission Mother gave you. If you can't even do this little thing, are you worthy of being my brother?"
Ji Mingxuan looked down at this bastard brother with disgust. They had the same mother as him but different fathers, and his blood was more precious than his father's. Ji Chengxi's father was a disgusting two-legged beast on land. He accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by his mother and raised on the seabed ever since.
Ji Chengxi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Ji Mingxuan was unrestrained and uninhibited, "While that idiot Chen Yin's brain hasn't reacted yet, you took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in and become her beastly husband. Find a chance to take out the B-level potion. If the mission fails... you know the consequences."
The red liquid went down his throat clear, but Ji Mingxuan's face was gloomy. Not a single day had gone smoothly since he married Shen Qiangwei.
"yes."
Ji Chengxi lowered his head, feeling funny in his heart. You want me to do something that you couldn't even finish?
I have always thought that bipeds were the representatives of extreme cruelty and evil, but today I see that bipeds' muteness is not even half as good as Ji Mingxuan's.
