[Chapter 31 Chapter 278 Princess, Please Have Mercy 7]
The carriage not only stopped, but also stopped for a long time.
After Wen Shinian fell asleep, another wave of assassins arrived.
But before he could get close to the carriage, he was strangled to death by Xie Yanqing's men.
After killing the assassin, Xie Yanqing took the opportunity to change and wash himself.
Listening to Xie Yanqing's explanation, Wen Shi Ting once again began to doubt his own vigilance.
She slept so soundly that she didn't even notice the assassin coming!
Looking at Wen Shinian's expression, Xie Yanqing knew what she was thinking.
He handed over another wild fruit with a smile on his face.
"If I can't even let the princess have a good rest, then I don't need to take the position of commander."
"That makes sense."
Wen Shinian was comforted. He took the wild fruit from Xie Yanqing's hand and hooked his finger at him.
Xie Yanqing obeyed the call and leaned towards Wen Shinian.
Wen Shinian also moved closer to him.
"Commander, you are amazing."
The soft touch touched her cheek and then left, and her low voice carried the delicateness that is unique to women.
Xie Yanqing: “…”
My heart is beating so fast.
There was a wetness under my nose, and something was flowing down.
Wen Shinian had just left when she looked up to see Xie Yanqing staring at her with a nosebleed.
“…”
It's just a face-to-face encounter, is it that exaggerated?
When the blood from his nose dripped onto his clothes, Wen Shinian quickly took out a handkerchief and covered Xie Yanqing's mouth and nose with it.
The handkerchief was soft and didn't absorb blood much. Just as it was about to be soaked through, a big hand covered it.
The palm of his hand was scorching hot, and Wen Shinian shrank back.
"Are you, angry?"
Xie Yanqing covered his nose with one hand and held Wen Shinian's hand with the other and let it go.
The rough pads of his fingers rubbed against hers.
An itch appeared in the place where the finger was passed, and Wen Shinian curled up her fingertips and held his hand.
After Xie Yanqing came to his senses, the nosebleed had actually stopped flowing.
However, he was reluctant to use Wen Shinian's handkerchief to wipe it, but if he took the handkerchief off, he was afraid that he would look too bad.
Therefore, he kept covering his nose with his handkerchief and answered in a muffled voice.
"It's not that I'm angry, it's because I like the princess too much."
"Because I love you so much, even the slightest touch from the princess can make me feel overwhelmed."
Wen Shinian's cheeks felt hot.
"Yes, is that so? Then I will..."
Before Wen Shi finished speaking, Xie Yanqing interrupted her.
"I like this, Princess."
Xie Yanqing didn't know what Wen Shinian wanted to say, but based on the previous words, he could guess that it was not good.
Every touch of hers was especially precious to him.
He would not allow anything other than this to happen, and even Wen Shinian himself would not allow it.
So, he had to strangle it in advance.
Meeting Xie Yanqing's stubborn gaze, Wen Shinian couldn't help laughing.
She tilted her head and chuckled, "Okay, I get it."
By the way, he scratched Xie Yanqing's palm.
Xie Yanqing's heart skipped a beat, and he held her hand even tighter.
—
"Why haven't Xie Yanqing and the others returned yet? Did something happen to my sister?"
Seeing that it was getting later and later, and Xie Yanqing and his group had not returned yet, the emperor became anxious and could not sit still.
He stood with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Seeing how anxious he was, his father-in-law tried to comfort him carefully.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Perhaps something delayed her on the way. With Lord Xie here, the princess will surely return safely."
"It's getting dark, how can I not be anxious?"
"It was because I was too useless that my sister was taken away for nine years... Little Dengzi, will my sister blame me?"
The emperor was three years old when he was still a child.
Even though he has been on the throne for three years, he is actually only fifteen years old.
His elder sister, who treated him very well in childhood, is about to return. No matter how precocious the emperor is, he can't help but feel panic at this moment.
Little Dengzi didn't know what to say.
After all, no one knows what kind of life Wen Shinian has been living during these years as a hostage abroad.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your letter!"
At this moment, a guard came trotting in with a letter.
The emperor had specifically instructed that any letters concerning Xie Yanqing did not need to be reported.
The guard knelt on one knee, holding the letter in both hands.
Xiao Dengzi stepped forward and checked the letter to make sure it was in good condition before handing it to the emperor.
The emperor took it and felt inexplicably nervous before opening the letter.
He swallowed, tightened his face, and opened the letter.
When the emperor saw the contents of the letter, he was overjoyed.
"Little Dengzi, hurry! Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare the meal. The imperial sister has already entered the city!"
Little Dengzi was also happy, "Yes, I'll go right away!"
The emperor took the letter and read it over and over again.
After the joy, what followed was a more uneasy feeling.
Imperial sister, will you blame him?
Wen Shinian had no idea that her adopted brother was getting restless about their meeting. After the carriage entered Yuncheng, she was seduced by the aroma of street snacks.
He immediately ordered Ah Ran to buy some.
Ah Ran hesitated for a few seconds, looking embarrassed.
"Your Highness, we have spent all our money."
Wen Shinian's happy expression froze and he turned his head to look.
"All spent?"
"Yes."
"Not a cent left?"
"Yes."
"Go get my jewelry..."
Wen Shinian closed his mouth.
Because the jewelry was also pawned.
The master and servant were speechless when a bulging bag of money suddenly appeared in their sight, interrupting their silent gaze.
Wen Shinian looked in the direction of the purse and met Xie Yanqing's distressed gaze.
"Go buy it."
Xie Yanqing threw the purse to Ah Ran.
Ah Ran took the purse, felt its weight, and couldn't help but feel envious.
She had never seen so much silver before.
Is this weight real?!
Although he was envious, Ah Ran didn't dare to take the job on his own.
She glanced at her master, and after receiving Wen Shinian's response, she turned around and got off the carriage with the purse.
Once you reach the palace, just keep walking along this road, so there is no need to worry about Ah Ran getting lost.
Wen Shinian sat down again, and because of what happened just now, his face showed a bit of embarrassment of a poor person.
"It's a shame to make the commander laugh."
Xie Yanqing did not respond, but just glanced at her clean hair.
"Princess, has it always been like this all these years?"
Wen Shinian nodded, "Yes. After the previous king of Liguo passed away, the new king made trouble for me every day. Those servants who follow the trend saw this and stopped our meals."
"In order to survive, I had no choice but to pawn my jewelry and rely on the silver I earned to support my life."
“…”
Xie Yan pursed his lips slightly, his eyes suddenly becoming violent and bloodthirsty.
But when he raised his head again, that emotion had disappeared.
"From now on, I will give the princess beautiful jewelry every day."
Wen Shinian smiled, winked at Xie Yan, and jokingly said, "Then, may I thank the Commander in advance?"
"Princess, you are so polite. Have you forgotten that you wanted me to be your concubine?"
"Of course not." Wen Shinian stretched out his hand and scratched Xie Yanqing's chin, teasing: "With your looks, I will remember that you are my concubine. I won't forget it."
Xie Yanqing enjoyed Wen Shinian's touch, and did not forget to respond.
"Just remember it, Princess."
