Wen Jin hugged Yue'er and approached the main hall before she stepped onto the steps.
The eunuch in front of the main hall stepped forward to stop him, "Your Majesty, the Holy One has said that no one is allowed to disturb you."
"Anyone?" Wen Jin was startled, "Including me?"
The eunuch wondered, "Yes..."
"Who else is inside? What is the emperor doing inside?" Wen Jin asked.
The eunuch lowered his eyes, "There is only the Holy One inside. As for what he is doing...the slaves dare not ask any more questions."
Wen Jin said sternly, "The emperor didn't even have dinner and has never left the palace until now. If something happens inside, can you bear the responsibility?"
The eunuch panicked when he heard this.
"I go in and take a look. If nothing happens to the Holy One, it would be best. If something happens, none of you can escape!"
Wen Jin waved the eunuch away and was about to force his way in.
She never thought that there would be a guard with a sword in front of her to stop her.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor personally stated that no one is allowed in until he comes out."
"Your Majesty!" Wen Jin shouted outside the palace, "Xiao Yuchen!"
She is probably the only one who calls the Emperor by his first name.
The expressions of the eunuchs and the imperial guards with swords all changed.
But the palace was quiet and no one responded.
"There's no response inside, so you're not worried about something happening inside?" Wen Jin asked.
The imperial guard with a sword in front of him said with a solemn face, "There is no one else inside. The emperor specifically stated this before entering..."
Wen Jin saw that these imperial guards were very rigid and could not communicate at all.
She simply turned around and returned to the side hall.
"Yu'er is holding her sister, Zhou Guoshi is looking after the brothers and sisters, and I try to get in." Wen Jin told Zhou Lingfeng.
"Sister, won't you cry again?" Yu'er looked tired.
Wen Jin raised his hand and touched his son's head, "Probably not, the queen will not be away for too long. Thank you for your hard work."
Yu'er raised a tired smile, "As long as the father, the emperor, and the empress are safe and healthy, the hard work of my son and minister is nothing."
Having said that, my sister's crying was just terrible.
Wen Jin nodded and quickly jumped out of the window and out of the side hall.
She took advantage of others' unpreparedness, entered the space, and approached the main hall in the air.
She quickly passed by the eunuch guarding the main hall and the sword-wielding guard in front of her.
They couldn't see her, so no one stopped her.
Wen Jinshun arrived in front of the main hall.
She pushed the door open and it was bolted from the inside.
The door latch clicked softly.
The imperial guards with swords immediately heard the sound and looked over.
Although sure, they can't see themselves. But under such a scorching gaze, Wen Jin still felt like a light on his back.
She quickly checked a few more windows.
There was only one window partially open, as if it had been left specially for her.
Wen Jin also climbed in through the window unceremoniously.
Just as Yu'er said, it was pitch dark in the palace and not a single lamp was lit.
Wen Jin jumped into the hall and she stood still for a long time. She waited for her eyes to adjust to the dark environment in the palace before she moved forward.
Her ears were sharp, and she heard even breathing in the quiet and dark palace.
Wen Jin followed the sound of breathing and came to the bed.
She left the space and stood beside the bed, using the dim brightness of the lanterns outside the hall and the moonlight to look at the sleeping person on the bed.
"Ha... you're worrying us, you actually fell asleep here!? Xiao Yuchen, you are really good!"
Wen Jin reached out to slap his face.
But she suddenly realized... something was wrong!
Xiao Yuchen has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is such a vigilant person.
At night, when they were sleeping in the same bed, he would wake up from his deep sleep when she turned over.
How could it be possible now that she had been standing here for a long time and he didn't even notice?
He couldn't... something really happened, right?
Wen Jin's breathing was rapid, and his heartbeat was beating like a drum...
Caring leads to chaos. The closer the person is... the more people can't control themselves and think about the worst.
Wen Jin touched Xiao Yuchen's hand and placed his fingertips on his veins.
She took her pulse carefully... Huh? Is your pulse okay?
Judging from his pulse alone, he was very healthy, not poisoned, not sick, or anything abnormal.
But he didn't even wake up when he felt his pulse - this in itself is very abnormal!
"Xiao Yuchen, I'm back! What's wrong with you?"
Wen Jin went to touch his cheek. The room was too dark and her hand touched his chest...
Hard, what did he put on his chest?
Wen Jin's hands groped for a while, "Is it a book? What book?"
Wen Jin's hand reached into his chest pocket and was about to take out the book.
Suddenly, her wrist was held by someone.
Someone lying there sleeping soundly opened his eyes suddenly.
"Don't move!" he shouted.
"It's me, Yuchen." Wen Jin said quickly.
Xiao Yuchen grabbed her wrist and did not let go, even harder.
He suddenly sat up from the bed, flicked his fingers, and the candle closest to them suddenly lit up.
Through the light, our eyes met.
Wen Jin felt that Xiao Yuchen's eyes were a little strange.
She subconsciously wanted to take her hand out, but he held it firmly.
"Jin'er..."
His expression softened, and there were deep emotions in his dark eyes that Wen Jin couldn't understand.
He held her wrist with one hand and held her in his arms with the other.
"What happened?" Wen Jin felt his heartbeat.
His heartbeat is strong, but very fast... He is a martial arts practitioner with a strong heart and a sufficient amount of blood pumping. Therefore, under normal circumstances, his heartbeat is slower than that of ordinary people.
But obviously, his heart rate at the moment was very abnormal.
"What happened? What's wrong with you?" Wen Jin asked with concern.
Xiao Yuchen's arms relaxed slightly, and he looked down at her. His eyes were focused and burning.
His eyes were as affectionate as ever... But Wen Jin always felt that it was different. He looked at her differently than before.
Wen Jin's eyes fell on his chest.
There is a book hidden there. What is it? Could his current situation be related to this book?
"What book is it? Can you let me see it?" Wen Jin asked.
Xiao Yuchen has not refused her for a long time, any request or wish she has.
But this time, he actually held her hands and didn't respond to her.
"Jin'er, tell me the truth... you are not from this world. You come from somewhere else... no, I should say, you come from another time and space? Or even... a certain time and space in the future? Really?"
Xiao Yuchen's voice was a bit ethereal.
Wen Jin stared at him blankly, as if she could hear her own heart beating like a drum.
She knew that Xiao Yuchen must have gone through something...but, it seemed that right now, he didn't want to say it.
"If, I say yes...what are you going to do? Are you going to kill me?"
"Or treat me like a 'witch' and burn me?"
Wen Jin looked at him intently.
Xiao Yuchen pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
He gently rubbed his chin on the top of her head, "Why are you so stupid? How could I hurt you? I want to protect you and not allow anyone to hurt you."
Wen Jin was hugged tightly by him.
While she felt the warmth of his embrace... she finally noticed something strange in his words.
"Who wants to hurt me? What do you know? Who threatened you?" Wen Jin asked.
Xiao Yuchen shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm fine. As long as I'm still alive, I won't allow anyone to hurt you!"
"Jin'er, you have to believe me... I will definitely protect you with my life."
