Chapter 41 Just Be Comfortable
What you see now are red walls and green tiles, a stone table in the courtyard, a large porcelain water tank in each corner of the east and west, four rooms, and scattered trees.

The courtyard, although not gorgeous, still looks cool and deserted.

Weird.

From the moment Lin Shi inadvertently accepted Ye Jinshu's gift, the originally quiet courtyard immediately became noisy.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Hua pushed Lin Shi away with extremely high-pitched and shrill voices and went to help Ye Jinshu who was kneeling on the ground with an indifferent look on his face.

The other palace maids and eunuchs in Anping Palace looked at Lin Shi with a look that said, "How dare you do such a thing? You are already a dead man."

Also, three or four secret guards appeared out of nowhere, exuding murderous intent.

A smaller figure, who looked like a female secret guard, grabbed Ye Ruoyan and forcibly took her to a place several dozen steps away from Ye Jinshu.

Two more secret guards flashed to Lin Shi's side, one on the left and one on the right. With just one move, Lin Shi, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, lost strength in his legs instantly, and he knelt heavily in front of Ye Jinshu.

There was also a secret guard standing behind Ye Jinshu, looking at Ye Ruoyan and Lin Shi silently, with a bad aura emanating from him.

Lin Shi was stunned.

He had never seen such a scene since he was a child. No, he had seen it in his dreams.

Lin Shi's family also employed secret guards when they were at their peak.

However, maintaining secret guards requires extremely high power, and also requires a lot of time and money to train.

The current Lin family has neither money nor power, so Lin Shi has never seen such creatures as secret guards.

But this did not prevent him from hearing from his mother since he was a child that when the Lin family was at its most glorious, the Lin family's secret guards were always around, protecting the safety of the Lin family members.

Lin Shi had always wanted to see what the secret guards looked like since he was a child. Unexpectedly, he finally saw one in the palace.

This! Is the legendary secret guard!

At first glance, it is different from the clothes worn by the palace guards.

Clothing that makes it difficult to distinguish the appearance.

And, an aura that was so dangerous that it was about to become tangible.

It’s so good, I love it and I’ll watch it again!
Lin Shi forgot about his situation for a moment and only focused on looking at the secret guard who had restrained him. Stars almost appeared in his eyes.

When Ye Jinshu was helped up from the ground by the palace servants, crying and shouting, she was still a little dazed.

My first reaction was, it’s just kneeling, why make such a fuss?

Every time she was convicted, she would kneel down and be scolded. She might find it hard to accept at first, but after it happened a few times, she would no longer care.

Everyone will kneel one day, either on the ground or on a cushion.

Of course, except for the time when she was thrown into the manor, she usually knelt on the stone steps, and other times she knelt on the mat.

The second reaction was that I remembered that I was not yet at the stage where I could kneel down to others so easily.

During the days when she was doted on by the Emperor and Empress, it seemed, probably, perhaps, that apart from the Emperor and Empress, anyone who was made to kneel by her would be doomed to disaster.

Ye Jinshu remained silent as he looked at the two people in front of him who had been caught by the secret guards for "rebellion against their superiors".

Oh wow.

This is the bad thing about rebirth. You can't react in time and sometimes forget some important things.

Although the source of this matter was Ye Jinshu, and it was Ye Jinshu who forgot her current noble status and did this, she would not blame herself.

Instead of reflecting on yourself, blame others.

Just as Ye Jinshu was about to make the first move to complain, Xiao Cui got mad before he even opened his mouth.

"How dare you! How dare you accept the princess's gift!" Ye Jinshu: That's right! How dare you!
Her gaze moved to Ye Ruoyan, who was ten steps away from her. Seeing her looking worriedly at Lin Shi, who was kneeling in front of her, she suddenly had an idea.

Lin Shi and Ye Ruoyan seem to have a good relationship.

In their previous lives, if the prince hadn't stood in the way, the two of them would have almost developed a husband and wife relationship. So is there a possibility, she said possibility, that Lin Shi's current situation can be used to threaten Ye Ruoyan to give her the secret code?

Although every threat to Ye Ruoyan would eventually backfire on him, so what?

As long as she only cares about being arrogant when she can be arrogant, she will continue to be arrogant when she can be arrogant.

Ye Jinshu said to Ye Ruoyan who was not far away: "I will give you two choices now. One, watch Lin Shi suffer because of you. Two, give me the sachet that can prevent poison."

When Lin Shi heard that Ye Jinshu actually used him to threaten Ye Jinshu, he immediately took a stance, as if he would rather die than surrender: "Don't even think about using me to threaten Ruoyan, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

Ye Jinshu cried to death, he loved her so much.

For Ye Ruoyan, he would even sacrifice the entire Lin family.

Afraid that Ye Ruoyan would really ignore Lin Shi after seeing his determination, Ye Jinshu planned to ask Xiao Cui if she had heard of any evidence against Lin Shi that she could use to threaten her.

When I turned my head, I suddenly felt like sneezing for no apparent reason.

In such a serious occasion, if you sneeze, the consequences will be disastrous.

The image that she had worked so hard to create and the current tense atmosphere might be ruined by this sneeze.

More importantly, Ye Jinshu wants to save face.

So she held it in.

It's hard to hold back a sneeze. Ye Jinshu's face turned a little red from holding it back, and physiological tears appeared in his eyes, making his eyes blurry with tears.

Ye Jinshu continued to hold back her tears, but failed and the tears flowed down.

Ye Jinshu thought that she had quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears while no one was paying attention, but she didn't know that all of this was seen by the secret guards, Xiao Cui and Xiao Hua who were closest to Ye Jinshu, and... Chu Yi who had been watching the development of the situation not far away.

Xiao Cui became anxious again.

Lin Shi, a mere idiot who buys the casket and returns the pearl, why does he treat the princess like this?

So, when Lin Shi was about to continue to show his masculine qualities, Xiao Cui started to speak louder, "Young Marquis, you think too highly of yourself. You're already making a scene before the man's master has even been chosen? Who knows, the Marquis may not even be worth threatening. What do you think, Miss Ye?"

Lin Shi had never been spoken to in such a sore spot since he was a child, especially since the person who said it was a palace maid. He was a little overwhelmed.

"you!"

After thinking for a long time, Lin Shi still couldn't think of anything to refute Xiao Cui.

He was indeed unsure whether he posed a threat or not, because he knew that Ye Ruoyan had no interest in him.

Ye Jinshu looked at the speechless Lin Shi, as if he saw himself who used to be unable to curse, and he became more determined to learn ancient classics.

At the same time, I am also very relieved.

Tweety! That's amazing!
Chu Yi kept watching Ye Jinshu's expression. Seeing her looking at Xiao Cui with admiration, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He had seen Ye Jinshu's domineering appearance before. He used the secret guards given by his father, the emperor, and his mother to bully others in the palace.

But it was the first time he discovered that someone could be bullying others and yet make himself cry.

Thinking of Ye Jinshu's pitiful appearance with a tear about to fall, Chu Yi suddenly put up his hand to cover his face.

The heartbeat is very fast.

I want to wipe her tears.
