Chu Yan had been sitting quietly in the wheelchair, observing Shen Yindi's every move without making a sound.

Looking at her agile movements and the smile on her lips, I feel that this girl is not simple.

He became more and more suspicious that the rumors from the outside world were all lies.

Just as Shen Yindi finished doing those things, there was a knock on the door.

Uncle Fu came in with food.

A bowl of vegetarian noodles and a steamed bun.

It can be said to be very simple.

Uncle Fu's face was full of apology, and Chu Yan was also a little annoyed.

Shen Yindi looked at the plain noodles and steamed buns, then looked at the master and servant.

Uncle Fu said apologetically, "Princess, the conditions in our palace are difficult. I am sorry to have wronged you."

"Tomorrow I will continue to sell bamboo baskets and straw sandals on the street, as well as calligraphy and paintings, to supplement the family income."

Shen Yindi was surprised. Is it so miserable?

He is a prince after all.

"Uncle Fu, doesn't the royal family give you a salary every month?" She finally couldn't help but ask.

Speaking of this, Uncle Fu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"The emperor is lucky enough to have spared the prince's life, so how could he have given him any salary? He just put him here and let him fend for himself!"

"All the valuables of our prince have been pawned. After so many years, he has no savings at all."

"Now we mainly rely on the paintings and calligraphy made by the prince, as well as the straw sandals and hats woven by the old slaves, which we take to the market to sell."

Uncle Fu spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid that the prince would hear it.

Chu Yan didn't know when he had reached the window, looking outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a pause, Uncle Fu continued, "The prince is getting married to you today. Your family won't give you any dowry."

Shen Yindi sneered, "Dowry? He poisoned her to death, how could he possibly give her a dowry?"

But then again, today is her wedding night, right?

"Uncle Fu, let me ask you, is the prince really the emperor's son?" Shen Yindi lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that Chu Yan would hear it.

"Yes, that's right." Uncle Fu nodded solemnly.

"Then why did he treat his own son?"

The king of a country doesn’t even give living expenses to his own son?

If there is nothing wrong with Chu Yan's leg and he is healthy, then he doesn't need to give it to him. He can go out and earn it on his own.

But there are several poisons in his body, it is indeed a miracle that he can survive until now.

In such a situation, he refused to give him even a penny, which was ridiculous.

Hearing this question, Uncle Fu sighed again.

"Please forgive me, Princess. I'd better let the prince tell you these things. It's not appropriate for me to say them." At least I can't say it in front of the prince. It's too cruel.

Shen Yindi curled her lips and thought, what's inappropriate?

But thinking that Chu Yan is still here, it is indeed a bit cruel to discuss these things in front of him.

Should she ask about it privately later?

"Okay." Shen Yindi agreed.

She picked up the chopsticks and started eating the noodles.

I'm really hungry, I need to fill my stomach first.

“By the way, this room is the prince’s room, right?” she asked while eating, the more she knew, the better.

"Yes."

"So...are there any other people here? How many rooms are there?"

Uncle Fu looked embarrassed again.

"There are only two rooms, one for the prince, and the other for an old servant and Aunt Fu. Aunt Fu is my partner, who is responsible for washing clothes, cooking, and growing vegetables. There are only three of us."

He can explain these things clearly.

Shen Yindi nodded.

It was indeed very simple. It was night time and she had no way to check the environment outside.

"Okay, I'll ask these questions first. It's getting late. Please help me get a basin of water. I'll take care of the prince."

Uncle Fu looked at his prince and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the prince didn't say anything, he agreed.

He went out quickly, brought in a basin of water, then went over and said a few words to Chu Yan before leaving.

There were only two people left in the room again.

Shen Yindi soon ate and drank her fill.

She felt like she was resurrected!

Looking at Chu Yan who was sitting by the window, he was staring out the window in a daze, seemingly immersed in his own world.

The mask she had taken off was put back on his face.

Maybe he has gotten used to it over the years.

Shen Yindi walked up to him and whispered, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Go get some rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."

She plans to have a good sleep tonight and start her journey through time and space tomorrow.

Chu Yan collected his thoughts and looked over: "Miss Shen, go to sleep first."

Shen Yindi raised her eyebrows and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Your Majesty, are you afraid of sleeping with me?"

"Are you afraid that an ugly girl like me might do something to you?"

She bent down, suddenly moved closer, and deliberately lowered her voice.

With this rascally look, she looks just like a pervert who flirts with handsome men from decent families.

Chu Yan was not used to people getting so close to him, so he subconsciously stepped back. Unfortunately, he was sitting in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient for him to move.

Although he was wearing a mask, his ears were not covered.

Shen Yindi moved closer and saw a slight blush on his ears.

She thought it was quite fun.

I just came here, and flirting with the handsome guy adds a bit of fun.

"I am not afraid." Chu Yan's voice was a little stiff.

"Since you are not afraid, go to sleep."

"Don't worry, your legs are not in good condition right now, I won't take advantage of you!"

There was a hint of smile in Shen Yindi's tone, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

Chu Yan felt a little annoyed. He never expected that one day he would be teased by a little girl!

After Shen Yindi finished speaking, she didn't wait for his response and pushed him to the bed.

"Take off the mask. I've seen it all."

"You're not going to wear it while sleeping, are you? It's so tiring."

Shen Yindi did not forget to persuade.

Chu Yan remained indifferent.

"Do you want me to help you? I'd be happy to!" Shen Yindi said, extending his hand again.

This time Chu Yan blocked her hand.

"No, I'll do it myself." He refused decisively.

Shen Yindi then smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, I'm a girl and I don't mind, why are you, a grown man, shy?"

"Besides, we are already married, what are we afraid of?"

"We have to be united in our approach to the outside world from now on."

Shen Yindi thought, it would be good to win over one more person.

After all, they are both ugly and persecuted by their families, so they can sympathize with each other.

Chu Yan didn't say anything and remained silent.

Shen Yindi didn't mind either.

"You lie inside, I'll sleep outside."

"You'll need some water or something then, I'll be more convenient outside."

"I am used to sleeping on the outside."

"Okay, are you sure you don't want my help?"

"No need!" Chu Yan refused decisively again.

Shen Yindi shrugged.

"Then I don't care about you."

She quickly took off her coat and trousers and lay down inside.

Fortunately, his wooden bed was quite wide, but it was a bit hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. She would have to modify it later.

Chu Yan continued to observe her calmly.

Why is this girl so... unreserved!

Shen Yindi lay down and turned sideways to look at him.

Smiling, he asked, "My Lord, how do you want to get into bed?"
