He gestured at the bridge of his nose.
Shen Yijia stayed silent.
The chatterbox waited for a while. Seeing that his companion did not speak, he could only say, “I’ve never seen him before.”
After the palace maids and eunuchs found out that the imperial guards were searching, they had long hidden as far away as possible. How could they dare to approach them?
The eunuch sized up the two of them strangely, his gaze especially lingering on the place where the chatterbox was. “May I know what you’re doing?”
The chatterbox immediately acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He said angrily, “Do we have to report to you when we do things? Tell me, are you complicit in the old prince’s crime and deliberately came to ask for information?”
These eunuchs did not seem to have any status, but they were the most vengeful. Not only were their work relationships complicated, but if they were lucky, they could serve their masters directly. The imperial guards liked to stay in one’s own lane, mind one’s own business, and were unwilling to easily become enemies with them.
The eunuch choked and smiled awkwardly. “I’m just concerned. Princess Linghui was pushed into the pond by a thief and is still waiting for me to capture that thief. I won’t disturb you.”
In other words, they were here to work for Princess Linghui, not an accomplice of an assassin.
The chatterbox snorted arrogantly and did not speak.
The eunuch smiled. When he passed by Shen Yijia, he paused and compared her height.
Were the requirements for the palace guards so low now?
“The few of you go over there. The rest of you, follow me.” There were two small paths in front. The eunuch instructed them to take one of them.
He gave up on the main road.
Did he think that she was hiding? Thinking of the unlucky person she had hung on the rockery, Shen Yijia glanced at the chatterbox beside her and carried him to a small path where the eunuchs had come from.
“Brother, returning to the barracks isn’t this way.” He thought that Shen Yijia
was new and didn’t know the way.
Shen Yijia said, “Oh.”
She dragged him into the crevice of the rockery.
“No way, Brother. Are you going easy on me again? Your body is too weak. Look at your age. You haven’t gotten married yet, right? This won’t do. I’ll tell you.” Perhaps because the pain in his balls had subsided, the chatterbox began to talk again. “You’re lucky to have met me. I happen to have a prescription on hand. We’re brothers. How about I charge you ten taels of silver?”
What answered him was Shen Yijia’s iron fists.
“Ah…” The chatterbox was stunned. “What are you doing? You can’t do it so many times a day. I didn’t say anything wrong…” His mouth was covered.
Shen Yijia began a new round of boxing.
Ten minutes later, Shen Yijia knocked him out.
She clapped her hands and threw him aside. She looked up.
“Eh, where’s that unlucky fellow?” she thought.
Just as she thought this, You Yi descended from the sky with someone in his arms.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
You Yi originally wanted to listen to Shen Yijia and put on her clothes to return to Xuanyuan Ce’s side, but the two of them had overlooked something very important.
Shen Yijia’s figure…
The clothes had been modified according to Shen Yijia’s height and size. Even if they were of different lengths, he would not be able to wear them.
Therefore, he could only look for Shen Yijia. He only stopped following her after she knocked out a guard, stripped him, and changed his clothes.
Shen Yijia watched as he gestured at his clothes. She silently took them and changed into them. At the same time, she returned the unlucky person’s clothes.
As soon as she walked out of the rockery, she met Xuanyuan Ce and the others.
“Where have you been for so long?” Xuanyuan Ce pretended to be unhappy.
Shen Yijia lowered her voice. “I got lost.”
Shangguan Yu chuckled. “I forgot to ask someone to lead the way just now. I didn’t consider it carefully.”
Xuanyuan Ce did not answer and only said, “Have you found the jade pendant?”
Shen Yijia was stunned. Didn’t he say that he was looking for the jade pendant to create an opportunity for her? He really lost it?
“It’s fine if you didn’t find it.” Xuanyuan Ce waved his hand. In any case, that jade pendant had been torn off Chu Feng.
Chu Feng thought to himself, “In any case, it was given to me by His Highness.”
Shangguan Yu suggested taking a walk at the Tai Liquid Pool. Shen Yijia mouthed the word “Jing” somewhere he couldn’t see.
Xuanyuan Ce frowned. “Forget it. I’m tired from walking today. I’ll go back and greet Lord Jing before leaving the palace.”
Shangguan Yu was clearly also a prince, but Xuanyuan Ce still wanted to bid farewell to Shangguan Pu. It made people feel that Shangguan Pu was more important to him.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be unhappy, but Shangguan Yu wasn’t. He still had a gentle smile on his face as he nodded and said, “Alright..”
