All this was too much of a surprise. Xie Shizhu lowered his head and restrained the raised corners of his mouth.

Song Wenyan quickly went over to hold her arm and pulled her up from the ground.

The cold face softened a little after seeing Xie Shizhu, "You don't have to kneel down when you see me in the future."

Xie Shizhu: "..." Brother, please respect yourself.

Xie Shizhu smiled, took his arm away from Song Wenyan, and used his free hand to gesture: "Your Highness, is there a misunderstanding? How could Concubine Shu be a thief?"

As soon as he stopped moving, the smile on Song Wenyan's face faded and he snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? I never make mistakes."

After finishing speaking, Song Wenyan suddenly smiled again, looked down at Xie Shizhu and said, "It's my king's birthday in a few days, and my father specially held a birthday banquet for me. When the time comes, you and the wise king will enter the palace together...

…”

In fact, Song Wenyan wanted to say, you can come, the wise king does whatever he wants.

But as a princess, Xie Shizhu couldn't get in without a wise king.

It's considered a bargain, Wise King.

Xie Shizhu nodded.

She remembered that it was Song Wenyan's twentieth birthday. According to the regulations of Yan State, turning twenty was very important.

Besides, Song Wenyan is still the prince, so it can be seen how grand it will be when the time comes.

After Song Wenyan conveyed the important information, he left the palace.

As soon as he left the palace, he met Song Yan coming in from outside.

Song Yan was dressed in plain clothes. He didn't look like a prince, but more like a servant in the palace, but his face was extraordinary.

Song Wenyan looked at him and said: "Xian Wang, there is really a dragon and a phoenix in your house. Last time it was the corrupt daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and this time it is a thief..."

Hearing this, Song Yan's handsome appearance became strange, and his eyes when looking at Song Wenyan changed a little.

And the poisonous needle hidden in his sleeve is ready to move.

Fortunately, the prince's next words made him withdraw the poisonous needle.

"I really can't tell that Concubine Shu is actually the God of Thieves. This woman has hidden herself deeply."

After finishing speaking, Song Wenyan glanced at Song Yan and passed by him.

Song Yan looked at his back, feeling a little surprised.

He was crazy and actually attacked the prince in broad daylight.

Song Yan felt that his emotions seemed to be getting more and more out of control, and this strangeness always had something to do with Xie Shizhu.

However, why did Song Wenyan think that Concubine Shu was the God of Thieves?

Before I had time to think about it, a woman covered in dirt walked towards me, her face was dirty, she was holding a pile of grass in her hands, and she was walking very fast.

Song Yan stopped, with a helpless smile on his lips, looked at her and said softly: "Isn't this a servant's job?"

Xie Shizhu stopped and made a slow gesture with his free hand: "They are all pulling weeds, I am throwing these outside."

After Song Yan took a lot of weeds from her arms, his expression became more serious for the first time, and he said in a calm voice: "Xie Shizhu, you are the princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

However, Song Yan soon told her what she meant.

After Song Yan threw the grass out, he walked to Xie Shizhu, quickly took her wrist, and pulled her behind a group of servants.

At this moment, these servants and maids were squatting on the ground chatting and gossiping.

The grass in the yard was basically untouched, and there were only one or two maids working.

The sound of their chat reached the ears of the two of them: "I can't believe that Concubine Shu is a thief and actually stole the prince's token. She is so brave."

"Now there is another concubine missing in the palace. It seems that the prince will marry a new concubine soon."

Before they finished speaking, the prince's voice sounded from behind.

His tone was as soft as ever, but his voice was more sullen: "Why do you let the princess do such rough work?"

Several maids and servants quickly stood up and turned to look at the two of them.

What came into view was Song Yan's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. His handsome face was filled with a bit of sinisterness and a bit of weirdness.

I don't know why, but the prince in front of me is still the usual prince, which makes people feel fearful.

There was a woman who was the personal maid of Chao Lan who was beheaded. Because after Chao Lan died, she no longer had a master, but she still had the most say among the servants.

Just now, she deliberately squatted aside with a few maids doing nothing, and then watched Xie Shizhu pulling weeds with sweat on his back.

I feel very comfortable.

It was also a pleasure for them to admire the back view of the princess working.

She raised her chin and said extremely arrogantly: "This is what the princess wants to do, and this slave doesn't know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yan did not hesitate and said to the new housekeeper with a smile: "Dispose of it according to the regulations of the government."

However, this time he was hiding his secret behind his smile.

The new housekeeper took office very quickly. Without saying a word, he took a few servants and took away Chao Lan's maid.

The maid looked shocked, as if she couldn't believe that the wise king would be angry.

Because she had been in the mansion for three years, even if something happened that touched the King's bottom line, he would deal with it in an amicable and peaceful manner.

Even when the prince provoked him and played in the pool with his concubines naked, he could still laugh it off.

But no matter how shocked she was, she was still dragged into trying to scare the monkeys, and was slapped fifteen times.

Everyone in the yard heard the maid's pitiful screams, their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to slack off any more.

They hurriedly squatted on the ground, pulling weeds and cleaning the yard without complaint.

Song Yan turned his head to look at Xie Shizhu, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "You don't need to do these rough jobs from now on."

Xie Shizhu looked at him blankly, and after a moment, nodded his head.

*

At night, Xie Shizhu lay on the couch and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly, a slender arm was put on her waist, and then a man's deep voice sounded from her ear: "What's wrong?"

Xie Shizhu shook his head, remembering that in the plot, he would have died and become a corpse.

But now she is sleeping with the person who killed her in her arms.

Simply magical.

The system said: [Host, isn’t this exciting? 】

Xie Shizhu: "..."

After a while, Xie Shizhu closed her eyelids sleepily and fell asleep. After she fell asleep, Song Yan slowly stood up and left her.

He quickly changed into black clothes and disappeared into the palace, buried in the dark night.

*

After waking up the next day, Xie Shizhu felt physically exhausted and suddenly realized that it was definitely Song Yan who caused her to fall asleep at night.

Originally, she planned to pretend to be asleep and wait for Song Yan to leave before leaving by herself.

But now Song Yan actually did some tricks to make her fall asleep completely.

As for why he did this, were he afraid that after getting along day and night, he would realize that he was the legendary assassin who was frightened by rumors?

Please, she had known that Song Yan was not a good person.

*

Time passed quickly, Xie Shizhu and Song Yan had already entered the palace.

Today is the prince's twentieth birthday. Song Wenyan is wearing a python robe and is surrounded by many ministers. Even the other princes are fawning over him.

The prince is the most favored son of the emperor. Even his twentieth birthday is grander than that of other princes.

The whole country is congratulating the prince.

Extremely lively.

Song Yan and Xie Shizhu sat down in a corner of the banquet. Neither of them were important figures.

Xie Shizhu only cared about what to eat. After all, it was the prince's birthday, so he would definitely eat well.

She regretted that she didn't bring a plastic bag so that she could put some food in it if she couldn't finish it.
