Chapter 571 The emperor’s reasons and purpose for doting on Xiaojiu, and then packing up and leaving
Chapter 571 The reason and purpose of the emperor's favoritism to Xiaojiu, pack up and leave...
Shen Chuwei looked at Ye Yuchen, who looked anxious and jumping up and down. He must have a very good relationship with Ye Suhan.
If Ye Suhan didn't want to kill Xiao Jinyan, she could still help, after all, the matter was caused by her.
However, Ye Suhan wanted to kill Xiao Jinyan, just like he wanted to kill Ye Yuxi. If she hadn't arrived in time a few days ago, the consequences would be disastrous.
Ye Yuchen couldn't help but get a little anxious, "Xiaojiu."
Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Ye Yuchen. She couldn't tell her about her relationship with Xiao Jinyan, and she couldn't tell her that Ye Suhan wanted to kill Xiao Jinyan.
For a moment, she couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Seeing her hesitation, Ye Yuchen guessed, "Xiaojiu, you don't want to help the third brother?"
Shen Chuwei nodded, "I don't want to help, but I have my own reasons. Maybe after this experience, he will change those bad habits."
Ye Yuchen was a little unhappy when he heard this, "You don't understand the third brother too well. I won't force you. After all, you don't remember the past, and you don't forget the feelings of childhood sweethearts. I will think of other ways."
Ye Yuchen left without looking back after he finished speaking.
Shen Chuwei sighed helplessly and looked down at the snow ball in her arms. She didn't know if she was doing the right thing. Why did she always feel uneasy in her heart?
In the afternoon, Shen Chuwei brought some supplements to visit the prince.
Before entering, she heard a woman crying, and the voice sounded like Ye Anyu.
"Third brother is too cruel. The prince and he are brothers. How could he be so cruel?"
Ye Yuxi, who had been in a coma for a day and a night, had just woken up and heard his sister crying, but he didn't care because his whole body was in pain. He frowned in pain.
Ye Anyu saw that her brother woke up and wiped her tears, "Prince, you are finally awake. I was scared to death."
Ye Yuxi opened his mouth and uttered a weak voice: "Water..."
Although it was only one word, it was very hoarse.
"I'll get you some water right away." Ye Anyu stood up and picked up the teacup on the table, then returned to the bed and personally fed the prince water.
Ye Yuxi was seriously injured, with two broken ribs. He couldn't sit up and could only lie on the bed to drink water.
Ye Anyu said as he fed him water: "Brother Crown Prince, Father has put Brother Three in the confinement room and will execute him with three lashes. He has already executed him once last night. Are you relieved?"
Ye Yuxi paused while drinking water, his eyes full of resentment. Last night, Ye Suhan's crazy behavior almost cost him his life. What does three lashes mean?
Ye Anyu said indignantly: "Brother Crown Prince, you can't let Brother Three go this time. He will definitely compete with you for the position of Crown Prince when he comes back this time. Father is a little partial to him. It would be better if he died in the confinement room this time."
Everyone knows how Ye Yuxi became the Crown Prince.
Because Ye Suhan suddenly disappeared, the position of Crown Prince had been vacant for too long. Ministers in the court made suggestions one after another, so Ye Yuxi had the opportunity to become the Crown Prince.
Of course, Ye Yuxi would not give up. This time, Ye Suhan must never turn over. The position of Crown Prince should have belonged to him.
Shen Chuwei had no intention of eavesdropping, but after listening to Ye Anyu's words, she knew that the brothers were not as harmonious as they seemed.
She walked in and looked at Ye Yuxi on the bed. His face was very pale and his mental state was not good. He knew the injury when he took his pulse last night. It was very serious.
"Prince."
Ye Yuxi raised his head and looked at the door when he heard the voice. Seeing Feng Wuyou standing there, he said happily: "Xiaojiu, you are here."
His voice was still hoarse and weak.
Ye Anyu looked back and saw a trace of disgust in Feng Wuyou's eyes. If it weren't for her, how could the prince brother be injured like this by Ye Suhan?
When Shen Chuwei came over, Ye Suhan struggled to get up, but was held down by Ye Anyu in time, "Prince brother, you are so seriously injured, how can you get up?"
Shen Chuwei looked at Ye Yuxi struggling and said immediately: "Prince, I just came to take a look and leave immediately."
Ye Yuxi was in so much pain that he couldn't sit still at all. He had to give up sitting up and looked up at Feng Wuyou.
"Xiaojiu, what happened last night was my fault. I shouldn't have drunk so much."
Ye Yuxi looked at her with regret, and he looked so weak that he seemed to faint in the next second.
Shen Chuwei didn't want to mention what happened last night at all. After she put down her things, she said, "Don't mention what happened last night. You should rest more. I'll go back first."
After saying that, she turned around and slipped away without waiting for Ye Yuxi to speak.
"Xiaojiu." Ye Yuxi called out, and frowned when he saw Xiaojiu's figure disappear at the door.
Ye Anyu saw her brother's lost expression and couldn't help but said, "Brother Crown Prince, do you have to marry Feng Wuyou? I think she is a disaster. Whoever gets close to her will be unlucky."
Ye Yuxi retracted his gaze and looked at his sister, "What do you know? Xiaojiu, I must marry her."
*
After Shen Chuwei came out from the Crown Prince, she went directly back to Wuyou Palace. It was better to stay away from them. She didn't want to get involved in the internal struggle of the royal family.
As soon as she returned to Wuyou Palace, Shen Chuwei ordered: "Close the palace gate and do not see any guests."
The two eunuchs guarding the gate looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, but they still closed the palace gate obediently.
Shen Chuwei looked back at the closed palace gate, and her anxious heart began to get anxious again. Why would the Imperial Master come back?
If he didn't come back, she wanted to pack up and leave.
Just when Shen Chu was praying secretly, a huge head rubbed her back. She felt a little itchy, and when she turned around, she saw a tigress standing behind her.
The tigon seemed to like rubbing its head against her, and if she responded, its tail would wag even more happily.
She rubbed the tigon's huge head. Such a cute tigon actually had the idea of packing it away with the tigon.
Shen Chuwei stopped her greedy thoughts in time. The tigress belonged to Feng Wuyou, how could she take away someone else's pet?
After giving up this idea, Shen Chuwei went directly back to the dormitory to sleep without thinking about anything.
During the next period of time, Shen Chuwei either ate or slept.
The princes still came every day to bring her delicious food, but they all turned her away because they felt unwell.
Ye Yuxi took care of it for a few days and was able to walk on the ground. He immediately went to visit Feng Wuyou and brought her favorite stinky tofu.
He had someone specially buy the stinky tofu from the palace, and it was still warm.
When Ye Yuxi knocked on the palace door, he saw the young eunuch and asked, "Where is Princess Jiuyou?"
After the young eunuch finished the ceremony, he said: "Your Highness, the master is not feeling well, so he has to close the door to thank the guests."
During Ye Yuxi's training period, he also heard that Xiaojiu closed the door to thank guests. He looked at the little eunuch and meant that he couldn't go in either?
"Isn't your highness also missing?"
The young eunuch resisted the pressure and replied: "Your Highness, the master has said that no one will be seen."
Ye Yuxi had just recovered and should not stand for a long time. He glanced down at the stinky tofu in his hand and handed it to the young eunuch, "Tell Princess Jiuyou that His Highness will come to visit her again tomorrow."
The little eunuch held the stinky tofu in his hands, lowered his head and said, "I obey your orders."
After the prince left, the little eunuch closed the palace door, turned around and ran to the bedroom.
"Master, the Crown Prince is here." These were the first words the young eunuch said when he came in.
Shen Chuwei didn't want to see anyone now, she just wanted to wait quietly. When she heard that the prince was coming, she asked, "You didn't want him to come in, did you?"
The young eunuch shook his head, "No, no, the slave has obeyed the master's instructions. Isn't it because the master is not afraid of offending the prince?"
Shen Chu shrugged his nose slightly and looked at the oil paper bag in the little eunuch's hand, "Is that stinky tofu in your hand?"
The little eunuch didn't react for a while and said "Huh?", looked down at the thing in his hand, and hurriedly sent it to the master, "His Royal Highness sent it."
Shen Chuwei opened the oil paper bag and saw the stinky tofu, which made her a little greedy.
The young eunuch couldn't help but ask again: "Master, you thank guests behind closed doors every day, aren't you afraid of offending others? That is His Highness the Crown Prince, the future heir apparent."
Shen Chu smiled and said, "I'm not rejecting him alone. It's okay."
When Ye Yuxi became emperor, she would have run away long ago. Where could she be offended?
The little eunuch still didn't understand the reason why his master did this, and he didn't feel comfortable asking. He continued to guard the palace gate with doubts.
Shen Chuwei spent most of her time lying on the couch, and didn't want to move after eating every day, unless the tigress kept making trouble outside and she had to come out to comfort it.
During this period, Shen Chuwei's face became a little rounder and more fleshy than before.
When Xiao Jinyan went to the palace to discredit her, he pinched her face twice and said, "It's a bit meaty. The food in the palace is very good."
Shen Chuwei thought about the daily meals and praised them without hesitation: "It's very good. I eat almost all of the eight dishes every day. I go to bed after eating and finally put on some meat."
Shen Chuwei didn't tell Xiao Jinyan about Ye Suhan beating Ye Yuxi because of her, because she didn't want him to worry.
"The Imperial Master hasn't come back for so long. Is it possible that he won't come back?"
Xiao Jinyan had been waiting outside for too long and had lost his patience. He couldn't let Xiao Jiu stay in the palace all the time, and that night Suhan always made him worried.
Shen Chu said slightly: "But the emperor said that he has written to the Imperial Preceptor and will definitely come back. He should have no reason to lie to me. Maybe the mountain where the Imperial Preceptor is staying is far away and it will take some time."
"Maybe." Xiao Jinyan has long regretted letting her enter the palace. It would be better to go directly to find the imperial master. But now that she has waited for so long, she will definitely not be willing to give up.
"Did that Ye Suhan come to see you?"
Shen Chu said softly: "I am now thanking guests behind closed doors. The palace gate is closed every day, and Ye Suhan has not been here for a few days."
Xiao Jinyan was a little surprised when he heard this, "You are very brave. You dare to do this even in the palace."
Shen Chu held his arm slightly and continued: "Jin Yan, I don't think Feng Wuyou is the emperor's daughter."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "How do you know?"
"Don't look at it. I only know how to eat and drink. I still know what to observe."
Xiao Jinyan thought of Ye Suhan and frowned even more, "Then Ye Suhan's attitude towards you will make sense."
Shen Chuwei added: "I also found that the emperor's attitude towards Feng Wuyou is also very different."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "What's the difference?"
"It feels different. She is an ordinary princess, and the emperor's attitude towards her is so good."
Yes, the emperor's attitude towards her was really good, and she could feel her father's love, even though she had not had a father since she was a child.
Xiao Jinyan also nodded in agreement with her words, "Indeed, it is unbelievable that a princess who is not the emperor's daughter still has a title and lives in such a big palace."
"So, they don't have any objections to me thanking guests behind closed doors." It seems a bit arrogant~
Xiao Jinyan smiled, Xiao Jiu was indeed a little clever.
"Have I ever told you that the nobles and common people in the capital city don't know Feng Wuyou, nor have they heard of the name of Princess Jiuyou."
"I think I have." Shen Chuwei suddenly opened her eyes wide, "How strange, why don't they know?"
"I have been to many places these days, and whenever I asked about Princess Jiuyou, I didn't know. I am also curious why?"
"Did Princess Jiuyou not make it public when she was named a princess?"
"No, a princess with a title is much more noble than a princess without a title, how could it not be made public?"
"Then I don't understand." Shen Chuwei yawned: "Jinyan, let's go to sleep, I'm so sleepy."
Xiao Jinyan also knew that these doubts were temporarily unresolved, so he didn't think about those things.
"Okay."
Shen Chuwei hugged Xiao Jinyan's arm and pressed against him. The autumn night was a little cold.
Xiao Jinyan turned sideways, followed by the weak light, staring at Xiao Jiu for a long time, until Shen Chuwei felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't you want to sleep?"
Xiao Jinyan said: "I have had the same dream for the past two days."
Shen Chuwei was interested, "What dream?"
"In the dream, there was a little girl who looked like you, chasing me from behind..."
Shen Chuwei narrowed her eyes and snorted twice: "You didn't dream about Feng Wuyou, did you? You should have known her when you were in Nanzhao Kingdom, and you had a good relationship with her."
Xiao Jinyan wanted to say something, but when he saw her disappear, he woke up from the dream uncomfortably.
Just looking at Xiaojiu's reaction, if he continued to talk, he was afraid that he would misunderstand.
He stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, "Go to sleep."
Shen Chuwei "snorted": "You are perfunctory to me."
"I think it was you in the dream." Xiao Jinyan said, and then he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Shen Chuwei felt that Xiao Jinyan was getting worse and worse, and she began to suspect whether he had secretly recovered his memory...
In autumn, one day was colder than the other.
Shen Chuwei curled up in the quilt and slept late, and was awakened by the anxious voice of the little palace maid.
"What's the matter? So urgent?"
"Master, the Third Prince is here."
"Oh, I said I won't see anyone." Shen Chuwei closed her eyes and continued to sleep. Less than two seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes, "You mean the Third Prince?"
The little maid nodded vigorously, "The Third Prince said he must see you, otherwise he would come in by himself."
Shen Chuwei came out of the bed helplessly when she thought of the crazy Ye Suhan who kept his word.
"Tell him to wait in the side hall."
The little maid responded and ran out.
Shen Chuwei began to put on her clothes, but she felt very guilty. She never felt how righteous she was, but when she thought of Ye Suhan being punished, Ye Yuchen asked her to beg for mercy and tell the truth, she was always uneasy when she didn't agree.
But between Xiao Jinyan and Ye Suhan, she would of course choose Xiao Jinyan without hesitation.
After washing up, Shen Chuwei came to the side hall anxiously, and saw a thin and slender figure standing in the hall, looking up at the portrait.
She took a curious look and was stunned when she saw the person in the portrait.
There is one more
