After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

"what..."

Xu Yunxuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. In her eyes, she had never seen Shen Yuyao lose her composure like this before.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Shen Yuyao was choked by the abalone soup. She was coughing so hard that she couldn't breathe and her face turned red.

Seeing this, Xu Yunxuan immediately stood up and walked behind Shen Yuyao, patting her on the back.

"Slow down, no matter how delicious it is, I won't snatch it from you!"

She choked when she was a child, and this is what the adults did.

Shen Yuyao's heart was in turmoil at this time, and the little fairy's voice brought back those bad memories.

At this moment, Shen Yuyao seemed to have returned to the day of her delivery. In fact, the pain was hardly felt at that moment.

That day, the person she had been waiting for did not show up.

Shen Yuyao was extremely disappointed. This disappointment made her heart seem to be frozen, and then shattered into a spider web, binding her body bit by bit.

Her body's sense of the surroundings gradually disappeared, and the feeling of being on the verge of death returned to her body again.

"Mother, have some tea!"

Xia Xiaoxian's cute voice sounded.

When everything is quiet, it is always the little fairy treasure who wakes her up!

"Come on, Xiaoxian, hey."

Xia Xiaoxian's chubby little body stroked Shen Yuyao's back, imitating Xu Yunxuan's behavior.

Mother?

Zhang Ying's eyes widened. She guessed correctly. The two boys were just like her, both girls disguised as boys!

After a while, Shen Yuyao finally recovered. She glanced at Zhang Ying with a meaningful look. Zhang Ying was startled, "Why didn't she reveal my identity as a woman?"

Shen Yuyao calmed down a little and stood up, "Yunxuan, go back to Luyuan! Pack the important items and take Zisu and Baizhi to Huang'en Temple."

Seeing Shen Yuyao's solemn expression, Xu Yunxuan didn't dare to say much. She just replied yes and looked at Xia Xiaoxian again.

"I will bring the little princess to the palace immediately, don't worry." Shen Yuyao knew that she was worried about Xia Xiaoxian.

"it is good!"

Xu Yunxuan turned around and quickly walked out of Room No. 1.

Shen Yuyao turned her head and looked at Zhang Ying and said, "Since you already know that I am a girl like you, I will not lie to you again." There was a kind of warmth in her eyes that made people feel safe, and Zhang Ying nodded gently.

Shen Yuyao continued, "I value your literary talent and martial arts, and will never delay your palace examination! Today, you can wait for my news in Zuixian Tower!"

Zhang Ying nodded. Today's events were too bizarre and she needed some time to think about how to deal with them. As long as she didn't miss the palace examination, she could deal with other issues as they came!

"Tang Wei!" Shen Yuyao called out to the door.

"The subordinate is here!"

Tang Wei pushed the door open and came in, "What do you want, sir?"

"I need to go to the palace to see the emperor immediately. You all must wait here! You are not allowed to leave this room without Zhang Ying's permission!"

"I will definitely fulfill your mission!" Tang Wei clasped his fists and saluted, then shouted sternly toward the door:

"Come here, surround Zuixianlou! No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission!"

"Yes!"

The gate guards responded in unison.

Afterwards, a commotion broke out upstairs and downstairs in Zuixianlou.

Shen Yuyao glanced at Zhang Ying again, "Zhang Ying, don't even think about running away. I have already mobilized the Imperial Guards outside Zuixian Tower. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you can't escape."

Shen Yuyao raised the corners of her lips slightly, and continued: "Just wait here for the palace examination!"

"Okay!" Zhang Ying answered readily, "As long as I can take the palace examination, I won't run away!"

Her only purpose in living is to meet the dog emperor and kill him to avenge her parents!

Zhang Ying knew that this was the only chance to see the emperor up close, so she would wait!

"Little fairy, come with your mother into the palace!" Shen Yuyao smiled slightly, holding Xia Xiaoxian's soft little hand, and also left the palace.

......

At dusk, Zhang Ying finally waited for a eunuch to announce the emperor's decree, asking her to enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor.

Was it possible to hold palace examinations at night in the Great Xia Dynasty?

Could this be a special arrangement by Lord Shen? Who is she?

Zhang Ying was full of doubts, but now she had no choice! As long as she could see the dog emperor, she could get revenge and comfort her parents!

After entering the palace, Zhang Ying was taken not to Fengxian Hall, but to the Imperial Study!

The eunuch opened the door and said coldly: "Go in, the emperor will be here soon!"

There was no light in the imperial study, and one could only vaguely make out objects with the light from outside the window.

As Zhang Ying stepped into the imperial study, the door behind him was slammed shut with a bang.

Only then did she see clearly that there was no one in the imperial study!

She was deceived by Lord Shen, this corrupt official!

Just as Zhang Ying was about to gather his strength to open the study door, a stern rebuke came from outside the door: "Princess Anaj! You dared to take my life for revenge! You are so bold!"

Zhang Ying was devastated, fearing that revenge would no longer be possible. He wanted to get to the bottom of it all before he died anyway!

Zhang Ying's eyes flashed with hatred, and he asked sternly, "Are you Xia Yuanjue?"

"How dare you! How dare you call the name of the Emperor of Great Xia? Why don't you surrender?" the eunuch spy outside the door howled.

When Zhang Ying heard that it was indeed the dog emperor outside the door, he slammed the door and just as he rushed out, he was surrounded by dozens of Black Dragon Guards with Embroidered Spring Swords.

Zhang Ying glanced around. In front of him was the Black Dragon Guard's embroidered spring sword, and outside the hall the stairs were filled with hundreds of guards holding spears. There were also dozens of archers on the roof, all aiming at him.

A tall man in a dragon robe slowly walked towards them, "Anaji, you can't escape today, don't waste your time!"

“Hahahaha…” Zhang Ying howled to the sky, “I actually believed that bastard official! He caused me to fail at the last moment!”

"Do you really think that there is no one in my Great Xia?"

The emperor's voice was majestic without him being angry.

"Princess Ning has already found out your identity and purpose. She only allowed you to take the palace examination so as not to affect your recruitment and to let me know your literary talent!"

Only then did Zhang Ying notice that next to the emperor there was a woman in gorgeous palace robes, holding a one-year-old baby in her hands!

Princess Ning!

"You really deceived me!" Zhang Ying wanted to tear Shen Yuyao apart at this moment. "You deliberately disguised yourself as a man and exposed your flaws, just to make me trust you!"

Shen Yuyao said softly to Xia Xiaoxian, "Little Princess, go to Grandpa Huang and talk to Mother and the Princess for a few more words."

"Okay, mother." Xia Xiaoxian walked obediently to the emperor and held the emperor's hand.

At this moment, the emperor's expression finally relaxed. He looked at Xia Xiaoxian with loving eyes, then squatted down and touched Xia Xiaoxian's face.

"Well done, you are worthy of being a member of the Great Xia royal family!"

With so many swords and soldiers, an ordinary kid would have cried out of fear long ago. However, Xia Xiaoxian's big round eyes showed the same determination as Shen Yuyao's.

"Princess Anaji, you are both talented in literature and martial arts. His Majesty the Emperor values ​​talents, so he allowed me to stay here and persuade you."

Shen Yuyao said as she moved closer to Zhang Ying.

"The princess has also studied hard for many years, so she will surely understand the emperor's painstaking efforts."

Shen Yuyao spoke sincerely and continued to walk slowly to Zhang Ying's side.

"I want to catch you, avoid wasting the efforts of today's students, and also take your identity as a princess into consideration. So I can only deceive you."

"Shut up! I, Anaj, shouldn't have trusted you Daxia people!"

After Zhang Ying finished speaking, he pulled Shen Yuyao in front of him with one hand, and in his other hand, a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing and shining with cold light suddenly appeared and pressed against Shen Yuyao's throat...
