The prince longs for me every night after mastering thought-reading

When her father and elder brother were at home, they had taught her some anti-wolf skills and self-rescue skills when being held hostage, but she only knew how to play at the time and didn't learn it carefully.

Concubine Xu wanted to cry but had no tears. If she had known earlier, she should have learned it seriously, so that she wouldn't be unable to resist now.

The man in black saw that Concubine Xu was not honest, so he had to take her out of the bedroom through the window to avoid alarming others and causing unnecessary trouble.

Concubine Xu's face turned pale with fear. Seeing that the place where she had lived for a year was far away from her, her courage was almost broken.

Where was the man in black going to take her?

Concubine Xu was terrified, watching the man in black taking her to fly over the wall, fearing that the next second, the man in black would loosen his hand and throw her down.

She subconsciously grabbed the man in black's arm tightly, thinking that she would have to take someone with her if she fell down.

But in the blink of an eye, they came to a remote and deserted place.

The man in black let go of her, not afraid of her yelling and screaming.

As soon as Concubine Xu got free, she opened her mouth and shouted: "Help! Someone, there are flower thieves and assassins here!"

She howled for a long time, but there was nothing else except a few insects chirping.

The man in black said lightly: "No one will come to save you even if you shout your throat out."

Concubine Xu suddenly stopped calling for help. She found that this was a remote and uninhabited yard. She was scared and hid behind a pillar. She secretly looked at the man in black leaning against the wall and found that he was very tall. Because the light here was very dim, she couldn't see his face at all.

"I'll give you money, how about you let me go?"

The man in black looked at the woman hiding behind the pillar in the moonlight, "How much?"

Concubine Xu stretched out a hand, "Five thousand taels, how about it?"

The man in black laughed softly: "You are worth five thousand taels?"

"That's all I have, no more." Concubine Xu sent someone home with a letter to ask her mother to send some silver to subsidize her.

It's not even warm in my hands yet!

The man in black took a few steps forward, and Concubine Xu was frightened and hurriedly stepped back a few steps until her back was against the wall, with no way to retreat.

"You, what are you going to do? I tell you, my father is a general, and my eldest brother is also a general. If you dare to touch me, they will not let you go." Concubine Xu trembled violently, and did not forget to speak harshly.

The man in black laughed twice, obviously not taking Concubine Xu's words seriously.

"I want to ask you something."

Concubine Xu asked: "If you ask, will you let me go?"

The man in black nodded readily, "Well, if you answer, I will send you back."

Concubine Xu doubted the authenticity of the man in black's words, but now she had no other choice.

"Then ask."

The man in black asked: "Is there anyone named Xiaojiu in the palace?"

Concubine Xu told the truth: "There is no one named Xiaojiu among the people I know."

The man in black frowned, took a few steps forward, took out a dagger from his pocket and pressed it against Concubine Xu's neck.

Concubine Xu was so scared that she dared not move. She could feel the cold dagger against her neck. If she applied a little force, blood would splatter on the spot.

"Didn't you say you would send me back if I answered? You are a man, why don't you keep your word?"

The man in black asked coldly: "Are you sure there is no one named Xiaojiu in the palace?"

Concubine Xu was about to cry, "The palace is so big, how can I know everyone? Can you find someone else? I really don't know anything."

The man in black stroked Concubine Xu's cheek with his slender fingers. He sighed softly: "You are so young, your skin is so good, and you are so beautiful. How about I scratch your face?"

Concubine Xu was so scared that she trembled violently when she heard that her face was disfigured. "What's the point of living if a woman's face is disfigured? You might as well kill me with a knife."

The man in black asked coldly: "Then tell me, do you know anyone named Xiaojiu?"

"I really don't know..." Concubine Xu thought for a while and said: "Can't I help you find it?"

The man in black paused and thought this method was feasible.

"Okay."

Concubine Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wait until I escape, and I'll make you look bad!

The man in black took out a pill from his arms, and pinched Concubine Xu's jaw with his other hand, forcing her to open her mouth. He put the pill in before letting her go.

"It's poison."

As soon as Concubine Xu got free, she desperately held her throat, trying to spit out the medicine, but nothing came out.

The man in black reminded: "The pill melts in your mouth, and you can't spit it out, and it won't kill you immediately. I'm the only one with the antidote. As long as you help me find someone, I'll give you the antidote."

Concubine Xu paused holding her throat, feeling that she was done this time. The palace was so big, where could she find Xiaojiu?

After the man in black sent Concubine Xu back, he agreed to give her the antidote every three days.

Just as the man in black climbed out the window to leave, Concubine Xu called him, "Is Xiaojiu a boy or a girl? How old? Is she pretty? Or ugly... an ordinary palace maid or eunuch?"

"Xiaojiu is fifteen years old this year, and her sixteenth birthday is coming soon." The man in black paused here, "She is very beautiful and cute."

Concubine Xu asked subconsciously: "Could she be your sweetheart?"

The man in black did not answer Concubine Xu's question, but jumped out of the window and left. After a while, his agile figure disappeared into the night.

Concubine Xu seemed to have walked through the gates of hell, and was so scared that her soul was out of her body. She sat on the head of the bed in exhaustion, "I was scared to death."

Qimeng Hall

Xueyan sat on the bed all night, without even changing her posture, and the veil on her cheek was still well worn.

The big red candle with the word "happiness" attached to it had burned out.

Xiao Jinyan didn't show up all night.

Xue Yan clutched her face tightly. No matter what, she was still a princess, and Xiao Jinyan should come.

Shui Yao felt a little sorry for her little master, and she advised her gently: "Princess, Your Highness may have been busy very late and thought that the princess had rested. That's why she didn't come. Princess, please rest for a while."

Xue Yan didn't know whether Xiao Jinyan was really busy until late at night, or whether he didn't come on purpose. No matter which reason, she, the princess, lost face.

She said in a deep voice: "Please wait for me to bathe and change clothes, and I will go and pay my respects to His Highness."

Shuiyao responded, "Here."

Hehuan Hall

Shen Chu turned over slightly and touched a solid object with her hand. She touched it subconsciously. It felt smooth and delicate. When she touched somewhere, she pinched again...

There was a muffled groan in the bed.

Suddenly, someone held her hand tightly, and Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. There was someone on the bed.

She slowly opened her eyes and met a pair of gleaming phoenix eyes, and was stunned for a few seconds.

When did Xiao Jinyan climb into bed?

"Your Highness, weren't you busy reviewing memorials in the study last night?"

Xiao Jinyan heard what she meant. He had to work all night, right?

"I cannot keep reviewing memorials without taking a break."

Shen Chuwei's brain was not yet fully awake. After hearing this, she thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement, "Your Highness is right."
