Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

Shen Zhaozhao heard that there was an extremely outstanding casting master in Jian'an, so she planned to take the scales given to her by the mountain god to find the master to help her make some things.

Considering that Chu Yu was still injured, she actually wanted to go alone, but when Chu Yu knew she was going out, he insisted on following her.

Shen Zhaozhao didn't know when he became so clingy and was quite helpless, so she finally had to agree.

After handing the things to the master and agreeing on the delivery time, Shen Zhaozhao went to the bookstore.

Unable to resist Lu Jin's efforts to keep them, they stayed in Anyuan Hou Mansion and waited for Xie Yanshu and Yu Miaoyi to come back.

She planned to buy some storybooks to pass the time.

After selecting a few books according to his preferences, Shen Zhaozhao asked the bookstore owner to pack them up, and then Chu Yu paid the bill on his own initiative.

She held the books with a smile on her face all the way, treating them like treasures and not letting Chu Yu touch them.

Chu Yu frowned and glanced at the tightly wrapped thing in her arms.

"What storybook did you buy?"

When he asked, Shen Zhaozhao's nerves tensed up, and he tried to hide something: "I won't tell you. Anyway, it's not that kind of thing."

Chu Yu was stunned: "What kind of thing?"

Shen Zhaozhao rolled his eyes and directed his anger at him: "It's the picture album you looked at before."

She touched his shoulder: "Hey, you've been watching it for a few days, do you like it?"

Chu Yu understood what kind of picture album she was talking about, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't like it."

Shen Zhaozhao glanced at him and found that his ears were red and he wanted to laugh.

She couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay, you don't like it."

Since they had already gone out, Shen Zhaozhao simply took Chu Yu to buy some food.

She gave a sausage to Shushu in the Meteor Ring, and then handed one to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was not interested and took the package from her arms.

"You eat it, I don't like it."

"Okay." Shen Zhaozhao shrugged, "Then I'll take it back and give it to Brother Daoist Jiang."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chu Yu come over and take a bite of the sausage she was going to give to Jiang Jinyan.

Shen Zhaozhao opened his eyes wide: "Don't you dislike eating?"

Chu Yu smiled with a sly look on his face: "I suddenly want to eat again, is that not okay?"

"Oh." Shen Zhaozhao was already used to his repeated behavior, so he simply gave him the sausage.

Chu Yu did not reach out to take it, but bent down slightly and opened his lips waiting for her to feed him.

Shen Zhaozhao had no choice but to pass it to his mouth, and only after he finished eating it all did she start eating her own.

The two walked hand in hand quietly for a while, and Shen Zhaozhao suddenly noticed something strange.

It was like someone was watching them in the dark.

Shen Zhaozhao pretended to walk forward without noticing, but in fact she was carefully feeling the direction of the line of sight falling on her back.

She looked back sharply.

Nothing.

Is it an illusion?

Shen Zhaozhao shook the hand they were holding and whispered, "It seems like someone is watching us?"

Chu Yu glanced in the direction she had just looked at, his brows cold, and when he turned around, confusion was already on his face.

"Have it?"

Even he didn't notice it, so Shen Zhaozhao thought she was too suspicious and felt relieved.

After returning, Shen Zhaozhao shared some snacks with Jiang Jinyan.

Chu Yu watched coldly the whole time.

Shen Zhaozhao thought that he was unhappy because she didn't share with him, so she reluctantly gave him some of her favorite snacks.

Then he went back to his room with snacks and a storybook, smiling happily.

Jiang Jinyan saw his unhappy expression and couldn't help but smile.

Fellow Daoist Shen didn't notice at all that Fellow Daoist Chu was jealous.

He leaned over, pretending not to notice the indifference in Chu Yu's eyes, and smiled as he shared some of his snacks with him.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chu, Fellow Daoist Shen and I are just simple foodie friends."

Chu Yu snorted coldly, not bothering to fake a smile, and took the snacks back to the room with a sullen face.

As usual, Shen Zhaozhao meditated for an hour, then wrapped himself in the quilt and took out one of the storybooks to read.

This storybook is divided into two volumes. She had read the first volume before, and she had been waiting for the second volume for a long time, which was only recently released.

She watched it with great interest for a long time, and gradually felt sleepy. She resisted the urge to sleep and tried hard to open her drooping eyelids, wanting to finish watching this page.

But her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, so she chose to let herself go and fell into a deep sleep.

*

The evening breeze blows on your face and the moonlight shines brightly.

The young man stood in the yard, his handsome face hidden in the semi-dark shadow, his dark blue hairband fluttering in the wind in the night.

He opened the door carefully and stepped inside.

Chu Yu came to the couch and covered Shen Zhaozhao with the thin blanket that had been kicked aside.

He knelt down, lay beside the couch and quietly looked at her peaceful sleeping face.

After a moment, he took the script from her hand and glanced at her calmly, but his eyes froze slightly.

It clearly said: "Lin Ruowan loved her disciple's charming face, so she put a strong medicine in his dinner, intending to force him. In the dark, she climbed onto his bed, but before she could explore carefully, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand..."

Chu Yu: "..."

He looked at Shen Zhaozhao.

Is this the kind of storybook she reads every day?

He casually threw the script into the corner, then took her hand and held it in his palm.

He lightly scratched her index finger with his fingertips, and a few drops of blood dripped into the small porcelain bottle.

After lowering his head and sucking away the blood remaining on her fingertips, he stretched out his hand to gather his spiritual power and healed the tiny wound to its original state.

The young man lowered his head and gently kissed Shen Zhaozhao's forehead.

She slept soundly and had no idea what was happening.

When Shen Zhaozhao woke up, he searched everywhere for the storybook he had read last night and finally found it at the foot of the bed.

She brushed off the dust on it, stuffed it under her pillow, and then got out of bed to wash.

Just at this time Jiang Jinyan came to find her.

"The Qi-nourishing Pills were gone yesterday. I was planning to give the newly refined pills to Fellow Daoist Chu, but there was no one in his room. I thought he was with you."

Hearing that he was not there, Shen Zhaozhao was a little confused: "No, he is not here."

The two men walked towards the front yard and met a large group of people.

Shen Zhaozhao saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly pulled Jiang Jinyan and turned back.

"Wait a minute."

Someone called out to them.

Shen Zhaozhao hesitated for a long time, but seeing that he couldn't escape, he had to accept his fate and turn back.

Damn it, how did I run into the emperor?

Shen Zhaozhao smiled at them awkwardly.

The man surrounded by the crowd was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and looked to be around twenty years old. It was obvious that he was the current emperor of Dazhao.

The eunuch beside him shouted, "How dare you! You see the emperor, but instead of kneeling down to pay respect, you run back. What crime should you be punished for?"

"Hey." The emperor raised his hand to stop him. "It's okay, it's okay."

He walked up to her, looking at her with a fiery and frank look in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Jiang Jinyan's alarm bells rang, and he held a sword across the middle to block the emperor's view.

"Your Majesty, you are here." Lu Jin rushed over before the emperor got angry.

He naturally knew that the emperor's lustful habit had recurred, so he introduced her: "She is my distant cousin, and she came here to visit relatives."

After a moment of silence, he added: "My cousin is already married."

The emperor's eyes fell on Shen Zhaozhao's face. Shen Zhaozhao nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I have been married for two years, and the baby is running around on the ground."

The emperor had blue eyes and a listless look, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activities. The way he looked at her was very uncomfortable.

As an emperor, he has all kinds of beauties he wants, so he probably wouldn't fall for a married woman like her.

A trace of regret flashed across the emperor's face, and then he looked at Jiang Jinyan and asked, "I guess you are this cousin's husband, right?"

Jiang Jinyan coughed several times due to the saliva. After exchanging a glance with Shen Zhaozhao, he decided to let the misunderstanding go on. He stammered, "...Yes."

I am so sorry. I am so sorry, Fellow Daoist Chu.

Jiang Jinyan apologized silently in his heart.

The concubine who had been silent beside the emperor gently tugged at his sleeve and reminded him in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, don't forget what we are here for today."
