Chapter 593: Protect You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Niaoniao originally thought that she would definitely die this time.
She was already prepared to reunite with Madam Xie and Feng Lianghan in the netherworld, but she did not expect to wake up again.
She sat up on the bed and looked down at herself first. There were no injuries on her body. Then she looked around and realized that she was in a bedroom. But the layout of the bedroom was very unfamiliar. She was sure she had never been here.
Yu Niaoniao was puzzled.
Where was this place? And how had she gotten here?
What had happened while she was asleep?
She rubbed the back of her neck, which was sore, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside and a maidservant walked in with food.
She was not surprised to see Yu Niaoniao awake.
“The doctor said that you should be awake by now. You should be hungry. This is food I specially prepared for you. Try it and see if it suits your taste.”
As she spoke, she placed the food on the table.
Yu Niaoniao did not lean over. She asked warily.
“Who are you? Why am I here?”
The maidservant said, “My name is Huan’er. His Highness sent you here. His Highness has gone out to do something and should be back soon. Eat something first. ”
Yu Niaoniao frowned. How was this related to Shen Zhuo?
She touched her stomach. She was indeed a little hungry, but the situation was unclear, so she did not dare to eat casually.
Huan’er saw through her thoughts and took the initiative to pick up a pair of chopsticks to taste every dish on the table. “Look, these dishes are not poisonous.”
Yu Niaoniao still did not move.
Huan’er was very helpless and advised painstakingly, “Your body is your own.
If you starve, you’ll suffer in the end.”
Yu Niaoniao looked at the closed door and window and asked coldly.
“What time is it?”
Huan’er could not follow her train of thought. She was stunned for a moment before answering. “There’s still a quarter of an hour to noon.” Yu Niaoniao was very surprised. It was already noon the next day.
She had been asleep for too long!
Hopefully, Lo Pingsha had already led the people from the Langjun Imperial Palace far away.
Yu Niaoniao asked right on the heels of that, “Is this the Crown Prince’s residence?”
Huan’er shook her head.
Yu Niaoniao wanted to know what this place was.
But Huan’er refused to tell her anything. Yu Niaoniao could only change the question.
“Can I go out?”
This time, Huan’er answered straightforwardly, “Of course! Before His Highness left, he instructed that if you’re bored, you can go out for a walk. As long as you don’t leave this courtyard, you can go anywhere.”
Yu Niaoniao walked towards the door without hesitation.
Huan’er quickly picked up her cloak and chased after her. “Eat before you go out!”
The snow had stopped outside, and the snow on the stone path had been swept clean. However, the flowers and trees in the courtyard were all covered in snow. From time to time, a snowball or two would slide off the eaves and smash into the snow.
Yu Niaoniao walked quickly along the wet stone path.
Huan’er chased after her with her cloak, shouting as she chased.
“Slow down. The ground is slippery. Be careful not to fall.”
This courtyard was very large.
Yu Niaoniao walked for a long time but could not find an exit. In the end, she was really tired and could only stop to rest.
Huan’er took the opportunity to catch up to her and put the cloak on her.
“It’s cold outside. Let’s go back.”
Yu Niaoniao’s breathing eased a little, and her body regained some strength.
She walked on without hesitation.
Huan’er had no choice but to accept her fate and follow behind.
Yu Niaoniao searched for a long time before she finally found the location of the door.
Ignoring Huan’er’s obstruction, she ran towards the door.
She had to leave this place as soon as possible!
Huan’er shouted for help anxiously.
When the servants who were warming themselves by the fire in the gatehouse heard the commotion, they hurriedly ran out and stopped Yu Niaoniao from approaching the door.
At that moment, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded outside the door.
Right on the heels of that, there was a knock on the door.
A servant hurriedly went forward to open the door. When he saw the person standing outside clearly, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
Everyone in the courtyard looked in the direction of the door.
The front door was pushed open from the outside.
Shen Zhuo led his followers over the threshold and walked in.
The servants in the courtyard knelt down and bowed.
Only Yu Niaoniao remained where she was.
A follower stepped forward and reprimanded, “How dare you! Why didn’t you bow to His Highness?”
Shen Zhuo raised his hand. “It’s fine. All of you, leave.”
“Yes.”
When everyone retreated, only Yu Niaoniao and Shen Zhuo were left near the projection wall.
Shen Zhuo had probably just come out of court and was still wearing the ceremonial robe that represented his status as the Crown Prince.
He slowly walked up to Yu Niaoniao. There was a faint smile in his long phoenix eyes. The words he said were as gentle as water, making it easy to have the illusion that he was holding her in his hand. “It’s cold outside. Let’s go in and sit down and talk slowly.” With that, he reached out to hold Yu Niaoniao’s hand.
Yu Niaoniao took a step back to avoid his hand.
“Your Highness, where is this place? Why did you get me here?”
Shen Zhuo’s hand paused in midair, and his expression became even more helpless.
“I mean you no harm. You don’t have to be so wary.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Since there’s no malice, why don’t you let me leave?”
Shen Zhuo explained gently, “I wanted to protect you. Last night, Father wanted to take your life. I secretly saved you from the palace and replaced you with another corpse. Father thought you were dead. You’ll hide here for a while.
When this period passes, I’ll let you out.”
Whatever the other party’s motives, it was a fact that he had saved her.
Yu Niaoniao’s expression softened a lot.
“Thank you.”
Shen Zhuo smiled. “There’s never a need to thank me between us.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “You’re very thoughtful, but I’m sorry. I still have very important things to finish. I have to leave here immediately.”
The smile on Shen Zhuo’s face froze before he rejected her without hesitation.
“No, as long as you leave here now, you’ll be discovered. At that time, Father won’t let you off. If he can get someone to kill you the first time, he can kill you the second time!”
Yu Niaoniao was very stubborn. “I understand what you’re saying, but I have to
Shen Zhuo sighed. “I really don’t know what to do with you.”
He reached out again and grabbed Yu Niaoniao’s wrist with a powerful force that allowed no resistance. “Let’s go. I’ll send you back to the room myself.”
Yu Niaoniao struggled hard.
Although Shen Zhuo looked gentle and refined like a weak scholar, he had actually practiced martial arts since he was young. Be it riding, archery, or sword techniques, he was very good.
Yu Niaoniao’s strength was nothing in front of him..
