Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Lu Jinnian nodded calmly, glanced at him, and gave instructions in a light tone.

"You stay here and guard the place. Don't let anyone come in and disturb me. I'm going out for a while."

The man wore a mask identical to his own. Without saying a word, he bowed to him and then exited the secret passage. He turned and walked towards the outer hall, instantly displaying a royal demeanor as if he had done it a million times before.

As soon as he left, Lu Jinnian went straight into the secret passage and walked forward with a calm expression.

There is nothing in the secret passage, and it is not appropriate to keep a girl there for one night. It is better to send her out and hide her first. I am afraid that those people from Dongyi Country will never guess that the person they are looking for is in his hands.

He has always been observant, and when he entered the palace for the second time, he found that Princess Liyin looked a little strange. In addition, he had seen her face in advance, so he naturally found out that something was wrong quickly. The Dongyi Kingdom really had bad intentions!

However, his people only found out that Dongyi Kingdom had other purposes for this trip, but they really didn't know that there were two Princesses Liyin. The question is how did Miss Mu, who had just returned to Beijing not long ago, know such inside information?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Jinnian's mind, but he couldn't figure out the reason for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it and quickened his pace.

Not long after he walked away, he saw a skinny figure squatting in the corner of the secret passage. He seemed to have heard footsteps, and when he walked over, the figure just looked up and met his gaze.

One was clear and bright, the other was bright and clear, and when they met each other's eyes, they were both stunned for a moment.

In the end, the girl was the first to look away. She struggled to stand up by holding the wall, covered her lips and coughed twice uncomfortably. But she was too anxious, her head felt dizzy and she almost fell down.

Lu Jinnian hesitated for a moment, but then he quickly grabbed her arm, supported her, and spoke in a deep voice.

"You're weak and will faint if you get up too quickly. Don't worry. Since someone has entrusted you to me, I can protect you. No one in the entire Dayan Kingdom will hurt you again. I'll escort you out of the palace and let you rest. We can talk about the future later."

The girl seemed a little surprised. After she stood firm with the help of his arm, she immediately let go. She rubbed her fingers slightly in her sleeves before she responded softly.

But her mind couldn't help but wander. She didn't expect that the man looked thin but his arms were so strong. She pinched it accidentally just now and it was as hard as a rock. Is this the difference between men and women?

Lu Jinnian was also surprised by the softness and delicateness of the skin on his palm. When he withdrew his hand, he rubbed it on his clothes uncomfortably.

In fact, he had never come into contact with the opposite sex in his life. There were only men around him. No one talked, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The two of them walked slowly. There was nothing they could do because the girl was too weak and she had just squatted there for a long time, so even her legs were numb.

Lu Jinnian glanced at the girl beside him who was looking like a little rabbit with her head lowered. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you Princess Liyin or the one who just left? Are you twin sisters or are you making masks?"

After all, he also made a mask that looked very similar to him and asked the secret guards to disguise themselves as him on weekdays, so that he could go around and do his own things.

He asked suddenly and was prepared for the other party to not reply, but he didn't expect to hear the other party's reply.

"To be precise, the title of Princess Liyin was earned by me. It's just that they only remember me because I do the hard work. Shen Tuyu usually steals the limelight. I'm just someone who shares the same title with her but doesn't even have a name."

When talking about those people from Dongyi Country, Shentu Yao's eyes were as calm as stagnant water, but if you looked closely, you could still see the hatred surging in his eyes.

She was obviously born into a noble family, but because of that bullshit saying about lucky stars and unlucky stars, she had to suffer for more than ten years. She had to learn skills as soon as she opened her eyes, ate leftovers, suffered from the heat and cold, and could not sleep for long every day.

People who don't know the inside story think that she is wearing gold and silver and enjoying herself, but only she knows what kind of life she lives. I am afraid that the life she has lived in the past ten years is even worse than that of ordinary people.

Lu Jinnian was a very peculiar person. Although he still didn't know what secrets the twin sisters of Dongyi Country were hiding, it didn't affect him at all. He curled the corners of his lips and sneered. Perhaps because he felt a sense of sympathy, he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"The more luxurious a place, the more filth and viciousness it harbors that ordinary people cannot imagine. So what if I'm humble now? Who says I can't soar to the top one day? My mother once told me that a person's fate should be decided by themselves, not by others!"

He had a difficult childhood and suffered for several years, but now he has power, money and connections. This shows that one's destiny is determined by oneself.

He spoke so happily that he didn't notice that the girl beside him suddenly raised her eyes, looked at him with surprise and even stopped walking, as if she had never expected him to say that suddenly, but accidentally revealed the meaning of why she named herself Shentu Yao.

The footsteps beside him suddenly stopped. Lu Jinnian glanced sideways unexpectedly and met the other person's gaze that had been staring at him. The gaze was crystal clear and seemed to be shining. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

But he quickly reacted, turned his head away calmly, and his Adam's apple rolled for a moment to cover up the sudden dryness.

Shen Tuyao did not notice his abnormality. The dead water in her eyes instantly dissipated, leaving only a sudden brightness. She seemed to be in high spirits and nodded in agreement with him.

"You're right! I should decide my own destiny!"

She lowered her head and looked around at the ground, then squatted down, picked up a sharp stone, raised her hand and scratched her face hard, and blood was instantly flowing.

Even Lu Jinnian, who was skilled in martial arts, was stunned for a moment and had no time to stop her. By the time she reacted, Shen Tu Yao had already raised her hand to draw another line.

He frowned and quickly raised his hand to grab her arm that was holding the stone. His voice turned colder, "What are you doing? How can you destroy your own body and hair?"

Having already made one cut on each side, Shen Tu Yao no longer pressed for a second one now that his hands were caught. He casually threw the stone away with a somewhat indifferent expression.

"So what? Those who gave birth to me didn't love me, those who loved me died because of me, I've lived a muddled life for half my life, my family abandoned me, my friends all gone, I traveled a long way and was treated like cargo, almost ending up in your father's bed. Who wants such a fate?

Today, I, Shen Tu Yao, will change my name to Jin Yao. From now on, I will be the master of my own life. Even if the road ahead is bleak, I will fight to the death to forge a path to success!

It was only when Lu Jinnian was close that he could see the hatred and determination that could not be hidden in her eyes. It was so bright and dazzling that he couldn't take his eyes away for a moment, but his expression soon changed.
