CHAPTER 11

Intruders? Hearing this, Lin Shan became excited, and her curious eyes once again wandered. Her ears perked up to listen in.

But as the guards whispered to Lian Feng, their faces became grimmer, especially the face of the little guard, who was turning paler and paler.

Lin Shan felt that something was not right. Could it be that some big disaster had happened? As she was preparing to ask, Lian Feng had already came to her side.

“Prince Consort, I have some matters to attend to, please return the Palace for now.” His voice was as calm as ever, as if there was no big event that happened.

“The intruders…”

“Prince Consort, you need not worry, the intruder have been caught.”

So they had already been caught! Lin Shan breathed out in relief, and once again became curious: “Well, I am not that busy, why don’t you bring me with you to have a look?”

“While the intruder have been detained, we don’t know if they had any other accomplices. Right now the entire capital is under lockdown, I think Prince Consort should return to your palace quickly.”

Accomplices? Hearing this, Lin Shan was cautious. Even though she really wanted to go see the infamous palace intruders from legends, it seems like her small life might be more important. She nodded repeatedly and prepared to leave. But just as she took several steps away, Lian Feng suddenly called out to her.

Lin Shan stopped, turned and look at the tall figure standing underneath the bright sun light, his long shadows extending endlessly behind him. He looked incomparably serious.

“Thank you.” Lian Feng spoke, his voice even and plain.

Lin Shan did not reply. She only smiled, nodded, then turned around and left.

—

From the gate to the Princess’s Palace, Lin Shan’s eyes twitched non stop. Remembering Lian Feng’s demeanor just before, there was an unknown feeling of unease welling up in her heart.

Just as she made her way back, she ran into Du Ming Yue who was leaving the palace. The other party was arrogant and aloof like usual and walked right by her without giving her so much as a look. She just held her head high and swayed her hips gently on her way out. She thought she could use this chance to show off her prestige as the Royal Princess, but who would have thought that Lin Shan didn’t even spared her a glance.

Suddenly, Du Ming Yue became angry and shouted: “Song Lou, stop right there!”

Lin Shan was deep in thoughts, but the piercing shout stopped her on her tracks. Looking around, she discovered Du Ming Yue standing behind her, her eyes glaring angrily. The servants behind her were all cowering.

“How dare you not greet this Princess?”

Greet your head! Lin Shan swore quietly, her heart was currently in turmoil, and she did not have the energy to play around with the Princess. She only spoke, “Princess, you really knows how to joke. Since ancient time, all husbands are greeted by their darling first. You really don’t know how to make use of your education.”

“Who.. who is your darling!” Du Ming Yue blushes, her momentum greatly weakened.

“How strange, I and Princess have already bowed to heaven and earth and consummated, if Princess isn’t my woman, then are you the dog and cats on the sidewalk to me? Of course, if the Princess don’t mind, then I also do not.”

“Song Luo, you, you…” Du Ming Yue gnashed her teeth, her fingers pointing directly at Lin Shan, speechless.

“What about me?” Lin Shan pushed out her chest. This old grandma’s chest is even bigger than yours! What are your worth in comparison? “If there are no other matters, I will retire to my room to get some rest. I had a bit too much fun last night at the Leaning Vermillion House.”
