Chu Yan had been sitting quietly in the wheelchair, quietly observing Shen Yindi's every move.
Looking at her neat movements and the smile on her lips, I felt that this little girl was not simple.
He became more and more suspicious that the rumors from the outside world were all lies.
After Shen Yindi finished those things, there was a knock on the door.
Uncle Fu came in with food.
A bowl of plain noodles and a steamed bun.
It can be said to be very simple.
Uncle Fu's face was full of apology, and Chu Yan was also a little annoyed.
Shen Yindi looked at the plain noodles and steamed buns, and then at the master and servant.
Uncle Fu said apologetically: "Princess, the conditions in our palace are difficult and I have wronged you."
"Tomorrow the old slave will continue to go to the street to sell bamboo baskets, straw sandals, calligraphy and paintings to supplement the family income."
Shen Yindi was surprised, is it so miserable?
What about a prince?
"Uncle Fu, doesn't the royal family give you a monthly salary?" She finally couldn't help asking.
Speaking of this, Fu Bo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"It would be great if the emperor could keep the prince alive. How can there be any salary? Just put him here and let him fend for himself!"
"Our prince has pawned all his valuables. After so many years, he has no savings at all."
"Now I mainly rely on some calligraphy and paintings made by the prince, as well as the straw shoes and straw hats made by the old slave, which are sold in the market."
Uncle Fu's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that the prince would hear him.
Chu Yan didn't know when he had reached the window, looking outside, wondering what he was thinking.
After a pause, Uncle Fu continued: "The prince and you are getting married today. There is no dowry from your mother's side."
Shen Yindi sneered, dowry? He poisoned her to death, how could he return the dowry?
But then again, today is her wedding night?
"Uncle Fu, let me ask you, is the prince really the emperor's son?" Shen Yindi lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that Chu Yan would hear.
"Well, yes." Fu Bo nodded solemnly.
"Then why does he treat his own son?"
The king of a country doesn't even give his own son living expenses?
If Chu Yan’s legs are fine and he is healthy, then he won’t give it to him. He can go out and earn it by himself.
But there are so many poisons in his body that it is indeed a miracle that he can survive to this day.
Under such circumstances, he refused to even give him a copper, which was simply ridiculous.
Hearing this question, Fubo sighed again.
"Princess, I'm sorry, but I'd better let the prince tell you these things. It's not appropriate for me to talk to you." At least you can't say it in front of the prince, it's too cruel.
Shen Yindi curled his lips and thought to himself, what's inappropriate?
But it is indeed a bit cruel to think that Chu Yan is still here and discussing these in front of him.
Should she inquire in private later?
"Okay." Shen Yindi responded.
She picked up the chopsticks and started eating the noodles.
If you are really hungry, you need to fill your stomach first.
"By the way, this room is the prince's room, right?" she asked while eating, hoping to know more.
"yes."
"Then...are there anyone else here? How many rooms are there?"
Fu Bo looked embarrassed again.
"There are only two rooms, one for the prince, and the other for an old slave and Aunt Fu. Aunt Fu is my wife, responsible for washing, cooking, and growing some vegetables. There are only three of us."
He can explain these things clearly.
Shen Yindi nodded.
It was indeed very crude. It was night and she had no way to check the outside environment.
"Okay, let me ask these questions first. It's getting late. You can help me bring a basin of water in, and I'll just take care of the prince."
Uncle Fu looked at his prince and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the prince didn't say anything, he agreed.
He went out quickly, brought a basin of water in, then went over and said a few words to Chu Yan before going out.
Once again there were only two people left in the room.
Shen Yindi quickly ate and drank.
She felt like she was resurrected!
Looking at Chu Yan sitting by the window, he looked out the window in a daze, seeming to be immersed in his own world.
The mask she had taken off had been put back on his face.
Maybe he has gotten used to it over the years.
Shen Yindi walked up to him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let's rest first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
She planned to have a good sleep tonight and start her journey through time and space tomorrow.
Chu Yan retracted his thoughts and looked over: "Miss Shen, please go to sleep first."
Shen Yindi raised his eyebrows with a sly smile on his lips: "My lord, are you afraid of sleeping with me?"
"Afraid of what this ugly girl like me will do to you?"
She bent down and suddenly came closer, her voice deliberately lowered.
This ruffian looks like a prostitute who is teasing a handsome man from a good family.
Chu Yan was not used to others being so close to her, so she subconsciously stepped back. Unfortunately, he was sitting in a wheelchair and it was difficult to move.
Although he was wearing a mask, his ears were not covered.
Shen Yindi came closer and saw a slight blush at the base of his ears.
She thought it was quite fun.
I just traveled through time and it was a little more fun to tease a beautiful man.
"I'm not afraid." Chu Yan's voice was a little stiff.
"Since you're not afraid, then go to sleep."
"Don't worry, your legs are not good now, I won't take advantage of you!"
There was a faint smile in Shen Yindi's tone, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Chu Yan felt a little annoyed. He didn't expect that one day, he would be molested by a little girl!
After Shen Yindi finished speaking, he directly pushed the person to the bedside without waiting for his response.
"Take off the mask, I've seen it all before."
"You don't know how to wear it while sleeping, do you? How tiring it is."
Shen Yindi did not forget to advise.
Chu Yan was indifferent.
"Do you want me to help you? I'd be happy to!" With that said, Shen Yindi stretched out his hand again.
This time Chu Yan blocked her hand.
"No, I will do it myself." He decisively refused.
Only then did Shen Yindi smile with satisfaction: "That's right. I don't mind a girl. Why are you so shy as a grown man?"
"Besides, we are already married, so what are we afraid of?"
"From now on, we have to be consistent in dealing with the outside world."
Shen Yindi thought, it would be nice to win over one more person.
After all, they were both ugly together, and were also persecuted by their families. They were almost in the same boat.
Chu Yan said nothing and remained silent.
Shen Yindi doesn't mind either.
"You lie down inside, I'll sleep outside."
"When the time comes, if you want to drink water or something, I'll make it easier for you outside."
"I am used to sleeping on the outside."
"Okay, are you sure you don't want my help?"
"No!" Chu Yan decisively refused again.
Shen Yindi shrugged.
"Then I don't care about you,"
She quickly took off her coat and pants. Lie inside.
Fortunately, his wooden bed was quite wide, but it was a bit hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. She would have to modify it later.
Chu Yan continued to observe her calmly.
Why is this girl so... unreserved!
Shen Yindi lay down and turned sideways to look at him.
He smiled and asked: "My lord, how do you want to go to bed?"
