Chapter 16: Guard the wall and wait for the princess!
Watching her jump off the wall, Shen Chenli frowned slightly. He originally wanted to pretend that he didn't know, but after thinking about it, he always felt that it was inappropriate, so he finally took his men to guard the wall.
As for those two people, they came here overnight after hearing about this!
Yu Tingwan looked at him and found that he didn't look very good. Could it be that he was angry with her?
"Me? I went to walk around my territory."
"Your territory?" Shen Chenli was puzzled.
But before he could ask more questions, he saw two more people jumping in from the wall behind Yu Tingwan. They were the Secret Three and Secret Four!
The two of them had already been greatly frightened tonight, but when they followed the princess into the palace, they found themselves in an even greater shock!
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
After being frightened by the princess, he was caught by the prince!
Shen Chenli looked at the two people behind him with his eyes slightly narrowed. Unless the master was in danger, the secret guards would not appear. So, has he been discovered?
"Yes, I'm going to look around my mother's shops. They will be handed over to me tomorrow. It's impossible for me, the owner, not to know where these shops are, right?"
There's nothing wrong with that, but is it really necessary to stay up all night? It's obvious that there's a ghost there, right?
"I didn't expect the princess to be so powerful. Not only does she know medicine and poison, but she also knows martial arts."
A clear voice with a hint of playfulness sounded, and these words made Yu Tingwan turn his head and look in his direction.
He has almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, a handsome appearance with a hint of unruliness, and a playful look in his eyes, like a pretty boy who likes to linger among the flowers!
"Who is this?"
"Uh...you don't know me?"
One sentence directly shattered the character created by Song Shixu, leaving only an incredible expression!
There are actually people in this capital who don't know this prince? !
Yu Tingwan rolled her eyes and said, "You are not money, why should I have to know you?"
Shen Chenli watched them chatting at the wall and couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go back to the study and talk. Also, change your clothes!"
After saying this, he let An Yi push him and turned to leave. As for who he was talking about changing clothes, it was self-evident.
"No, Your Majesty, it's already the middle of the night and you won't let me sleep!"
Seeing everyone walking away, only Butler Chen was left standing there looking at him. Yu Tingwan felt helpless. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!
When Yu Tingwan changed her clothes and went to the study in the front yard, she saw two people kneeling in the study. They were the secret agents who had followed her before.
Yu Tingwan looked at the few people. One of them was sitting behind the desk, the two unfamiliar people were sitting on the Arhat couch, and An Yi was standing aside.
Seeing this, Yu Tingwan raised his foot and walked towards the armchair on the other side of the table.
After sitting firmly, he spoke: "What does the prince want to see me for?"
"Where were you tonight?"
This surprised Yu Tingwan. He looked at him, then at the other people, and then at the two people kneeling on the ground, and said with some amusement:
"Why? You didn't tell the prince where I went? What I did? Who did I meet? What did I say?"
This question made An San and An Si lower their heads even more. The room fell into silence, and everyone stared at her in silence.
Yu Tingwan looked at their reactions and shrugged slightly.
"Don't look at me like that. Since we want to cooperate, let's be frank. I really don't like those calculations."
Then he looked at Shen Chenli who was sitting behind the table, "Maybe I didn't make my words clear before, which caused the prince to misunderstand."
"I am not interested in what you want to do, nor am I interested in any grudges between you and the Shangshu Mansion or the Emperor."
"I will never let the Shangshu family go, so you don't have to worry about me having any contact with them, Your Majesty, do you understand?"
Apart from letting Lan Yue go out and do some things these two days, she didn't really just lie down and rest.
Although the original owner had few memories about the capital city, he was able to find some clues, especially about this arranged marriage.
Is it really because the Emperor was anxious about Prince Chen's health that he did this?
Although the Shangshu Mansion is not incapable of producing a princess, but for a concubine to be a princess, no matter how famous she is in the capital, isn't this a humiliation for a prince?
What's more, something like a substitutionary marriage occurred. In serious cases, it could be considered as deceiving the emperor and punishable by death. How could the emperor let it go so easily?
If you think about all these things carefully, I'm afraid that it's not as it seems on the surface. What's more, when you think about it, Prince Chen has a large army under his command.
Tsk, since ancient times, how many emperors could safely hand over military power to others?
So, it is not difficult to draw such a conclusion, and their cautious attitude further confirms it.
Everyone in the room was silent, not because they didn't want to talk, but because they had never met such a person before.
It would be fine if he spoke in a roundabout way, but this was so straightforward that even they found it hard to handle.
So they chose to remain silent and leave it to the prince. After all, they are husband and wife now!
Shen Chenli was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one spoke, he could only deal with it by himself. He was not careful in making friends!
"Your Highness is right. I was wrong to judge others by my own standards. This incident will never happen again. I will leave these two to your care."
As soon as the words fell, the two people below immediately took up the conversation.
"Please punish me, princess."
Yu Tingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and spoke casually:
"This secret guard in the palace made a mistake. How should the punishment be determined?"
An Yi immediately stood up and said:
"Princess, if a secret guard makes a mistake, he must go to the Discipline Hall to receive punishment, ranging from thirty lashes to suicide."
"Oh, that's easy. Go ahead and take thirty lashes each."
An San and An Si were stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that the prince had no intention of objecting, so they immediately bowed their heads.
"Yes, princess."
This surprised Shen Chenli and the others. They thought that after handing over such power to her, she would impose more severe punishment on these two people!
"The princess's broad mind and courage are admirable."
Lu Cheng, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end, finally spoke at this moment.
Whether it was Yu Tingwan's style of doing things or his medical and poison skills, they were all things he admired.
Since coming to the capital, he has hardly ever seen anyone so unpretentious, whether man or woman.
People in the capital always speak and act in a roundabout way, even their colleagues, which is very annoying. Such straightforward people have made him change his previous thinking.
"My name is Lu Cheng, from the Divine Doctor Valley."
"Divine Doctor Valley?"
This is a good place. Wherever there is a martial arts world, there must be a Valley of Miracle Doctors!
"So you are the one who has been taking care of the prince's body?"
"Yes, Princess, please give me some advice in the future?"
Yu Tingwan nodded. It didn’t matter whether she wanted to teach or not. She was just interested in the Valley of Divine Doctors.
"Then which family are you from?"
After this person finished introducing himself, Yu Tingwan looked at another person, who had previously claimed to be the prince.
Unexpectedly, there was actually someone who had lived in Beijing for more than ten years who didn't recognize him. Song Shixu seemed even more depressed.
"This prince is the legitimate son of the Ruyang Marquis family, Song Shixu."
Oh ~
Yu Tingwan looked as if she had suddenly realized something, but actually...
Who is Ruyang Hou? I don't know him, I've never heard of him!
Who among those present is not a shrewd person? How could they not see the true meaning behind her exaggerated expression?
Song Shixu calmed down immediately.
It doesn’t matter, she doesn’t even know his father!
Seeing that they had almost finished talking about the matter, Shen Chenli asked her to go and rest.
"Go back and rest. I'm afraid there will be more things to do tomorrow. Although these two are not very smart, I'll leave them to you from now on. You can let them do anything."
Seeing this, Yu Tingwan did not refuse. It would be better if he didn't ask. She would be annoyed if he asked too much.
Seeing Yu Tingwan leave the study, the three of them frowned.
"Ajin, are you really not going to check?"
Although Song Shixu felt that this should not be a surprise, he did not dare to draw a conclusion and could only ask Shen Chenli's opinion.
After all, the reason why they were so cautious was because of Shen Chenli. The poison in his body was injected by someone he trusted!
Shen Chenli looked at the pill in his hand silently, and finally chose to believe it.
"She has never done anything to harm me from beginning to end. I choose to trust her this time."
I just hope she's as sincere as she appears to be.
