Chapter 21: Deeply Loved Ye Jinshu

Chu Si wasn't sure what Xiao Hua meant, but it seemed like she wanted to take him into Anping Palace.

He was dressed in black and had a mask on his face, leaving only his eyes exposed. Xiaohua led him into Anping Palace unhindered.

Chu Si felt a little ironic when he saw the guards, eunuchs and palace maids around him ignoring him.

People who were dressed so suspiciously could be brought in openly by the palace maids of Anping Palace, but when he came to Anping Palace as a prince wearing the clothes of the Fourth Prince, he was turned away because of a ridiculous sign.

Thinking of the sign that said Chu Si could not enter Anping Palace, Chu Si became unhappy again.

But he also learned that the sign originally stated the names of the princes and princesses, but the queen felt that this was not clear enough, so she decided to replace the princes and princesses on the sign with real people's names.

The emperor also knew about this, but he didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit approval of Ye Jinshu's approach.

In this palace, due to the unconditional favor of the emperor and empress, the prince's status is even lower than that of a princess.

As Chu Si was thinking, Xiao Hua had brought Chu Si to a place not far from Ye Jinshu. Ye Jinshu was now lying on the couch with his eyes open, calling out to Xiao Cui weakly, "It's so strange. You're clearly very tired, but you just can't fall asleep."

Xiao Cui was also waiting anxiously: "Princess! Please hold on a little longer, the killer will be here soon!"

Xiao Cui had just finished shouting in coordination with Ye Jinshu when she turned around and saw Xiao Hua bringing people over.

Seeing that Chu Si's black clothes were not clean, with not only dirt but also dust on them, and full of various details of a killer sneaking in, it didn't look like an ordinary person was asked to act at all, and he felt even more satisfied.

It seems that Ji Sui is a good person. He even took into account some details that I didn't think of.

Xiao Cui urged Chu Si, "Come here."

After saying that, he asked all the palace people around him to stay away, and Ye Jinshu, who was lying on the couch, came into Chu Si's sight.

Perhaps in order to make her sleep more comfortably, the palace maids did not tie up Ye Jinshu's hair. Her long hair was scattered on the soft couch. Her eyes no longer had the usual arrogance and dignity, but instead a bit more tranquility. She had black hair, red lips, snow-white skin and bright eyes.

At that moment, Chu Si suddenly thought of the thin layer of snow he saw on the treetops in winter, which would fall away with a slight touch.

Realizing that he seemed to be imagining something unrealistic, Chu Si quickly recalled Ye Jinshu's attitude towards Ye Ruoyan in the past, and threw away the empty fantasy about Ye Jinshu that he had just had in his mind.

Although Chu Si was not sure what these maids from Anping Palace were going to do and what Ye Jinshu was going to do, he knew that he had to strike first. Even if Ye Jinshu had secret guards around him, as long as he took Ye Jinshu as a hostage first, those secret guards would not be able to do anything to him.

It only took a moment for him to subdue Ye Jinshu who was lying defenseless on the bed.

Before anyone could react, Chu Si quickly approached Ye Jinshu, drew his sword and put it on her neck: "No one is allowed to move, or I will kill her."

Ye Jinshu was threatened by the killer before she could adjust to a comfortable sleeping position. She was very anxious.

She did want a killer to put a knife to her neck and force her to sleep, but she couldn't sleep uncomfortably. She didn't have the conditions before, but now that the conditions are in place, Ye Jinshu naturally won't put herself in a difficult position.

She was used to lying down and couldn't fall asleep.

Because of this, even though the killer brother had already started to get into the role and asked her not to talk, Ye Jinshu still had something to say.

"Can I just say one word?" Ye Jinshu spoke boldly, but in order to cooperate with the killer brother, she deliberately lowered her voice.

Chu Si found it funny for some reason when he heard Ye Jinshu deliberately lowering his voice in front of so many people, but he held back his laughter. The current situation was too weird and he had to leave quickly.

Why on earth was it that even though he had the sword at the princess' neck, these palace maids and eunuchs were not afraid, but instead looked at him expectantly.

Could it be that Ye Jinshu usually acted arrogantly in Anping Palace and abused the palace maids and eunuchs, so these people wanted her dead?
But Chu Si didn't think so. After all, the senior palace maid who was so close to Ye Jinshu was also looking at him expectantly. What were they expecting?

Chu Si could only hope to get something out of Ye Jinshu, and replied unhappily, "Speak."

Ye Jinshu got the killer's permission, and her delicate eyebrows curved. She pointed at the sword on her neck and whispered, "I want to change my position and sleep on my side. Can you take this away first, or be careful not to cut me when I change my position?"

Chu Si:?
After a moment of confusion, Chu Si concluded that Ye Jinshu must be trying to take the opportunity to make him take the sword away. How could he let Ye Jinshu succeed? He held the sword tightly on Ye Jinshu's neck without moving it at all.

Seeing this, Ye Jinshu thought he understood what the killer meant and began to change his posture.

Chu Si felt that his sword was about to cut in, so he immediately held the sword a little further away.

If he hurt Ye Jinshu here, he would really not be able to escape.

The sword on his neck was a little further away, and Ye Jinshu adjusted his posture faster.

When Ye Jinshu changed from lying flat in a proper position to curling up into a ball, if Chu Si saw correctly, she seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Jinshu also reported the progress to Chu Si considerately: "I'm fine."

For some unknown reason, after hearing what Ye Jinshu said, Chu Si put the sword on Ye Jinshu's neck again.

It was obvious that he was the one threatening Ye Jinshu, but now he felt inexplicably aggrieved.

Chu Si didn't understand why a person who was threatened would be in such a relaxed state, nor did he understand why the perceptible auras around him didn't come out to stop him. He could only respond to all changes by remaining unchanged.

Ye Jinshu stopped talking, and he didn't talk either.

Then he noticed that Ye Jinshu's breathing gradually became calmer.

It turned out to be.

Fell asleep.

Not long after Chu Si discovered this fact, the other palace maids and eunuchs also discovered it.

Xiao Cui even approached Ye Jinshu carefully, and after confirming that Ye Jinshu had really fallen asleep soundly this time, Xiao Cui burst into tears of joy.

The princess has been listless for so many days and now she has finally fallen asleep. When she recovers, she will definitely smile at her like before.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui began to like "Ji Sui". She patted Chu Si's shoulder and nodded to him affirmatively.

Chu Si:?
In this peaceful time, suddenly, the sound of uniform footsteps and the sound of metal plates on armor colliding with each other were heard outside Anping Palace.

Chu Si frowned, knowing that the people who came to arrest him had arrived. He was just about to take the sleeping Ye Jinshu as a hostage and escape from Anping Palace, when he saw Xiao Cui beside him leaving Ye Jinshu and walking out of Anping Palace.

Although she tried to lower her voice, Chu Si could still clearly sense Xiao Cui's anger: "The princess finally fell asleep, why are these people making noise outside? Come with me!"

With Xiao Cui's departure, Chu Si felt that there were a dozen fewer auras in the dark, but the remaining number was still not to be underestimated.

Chu Si looked at Ye Jinshu with complicated eyes.

You are truly, deeply loved.
