Chapter 384: Being Controlled by a Cat
"It's up to you." A feeling of fatigue came over Shen Tianjiao. She was really tired and wanted to have a good rest.
"It's impossible to give them the huge reward they want, but we can still grant them some protection."
Shen Tianjiao really couldn't feel any good towards people like Duke Jingguo and his wife and Yao Xueying.
Being able to promise them some shelter is the biggest concession Shen Tianjiao can make.
"Okay, I understand." Ruan Yuhu looked at Shen Tianjiao, who looked tired. This child must have suffered a lot today. It was indeed time for her to have a good rest.
"Go get some sleep, and leave all the palace affairs to me."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, auntie."
Now Shen Tianjiao just wants to find a bed and have a good sleep without caring about anything else.
"Oh, by the way, Ziyun Villa sent a message saying that the two children are safe."
Ruan Yuhu, who was about to turn around and leave, thought of the most important thing in this matter, and quickly turned back and said to Shen Tianjiao.
"Well, I already know."
As soon as Shen Tianjiao returned to the palace, she received news from Ziyun Villa. She even sent people to tell Ruan Yuhu.
If she hadn't already known that the two children were safe and sound, how could Shen Tianjiao still be so calm and have the mood to deal with other things?
Ruan Yuhu left, and Shen Tianjiao finally spoke: "You are tired too, come down and find a place to have a good rest. We may have a big battle to fight next, and then we won't have time to sleep even if we want to."
As soon as Shen Tianjiao finished speaking, a figure flew down from the beam.
Yan Yu sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it leisurely.
After returning from Zhenghe Palace, Yan Yu hid himself. He didn't want to cause any trouble to Shen Tianjiao because of his arrival, and he didn't want to embarrass Shen Tianjiao and explain his existence to others.
"Are you hungry? I'll ask Chunchao to bring some food."
"I've already told Chunchao to prepare a room for you next door. Take a shower and have a good sleep later."
"You've been traveling day and night since returning to the capital, without any proper rest. And you've been busy non-stop since last night. Even a strong body wouldn't be able to handle this."
Since Shen Tianjiao came back, she has been busy all the time and has not had a single drop of water, but she has always been worried about Yan Yu.
"Yeah, okay." Yan Yu was indeed a little overwhelmed at this time. He was really hungry and tired now. The days of running around had already consumed a lot of his physical strength.
Today he carried Shen Tianjiao on his back for such a long distance. After coming back, he didn't even rest, but followed Shen Tianjiao to deal with things again. He really needed to have a full meal, take a shower and have a good sleep.
The meals that Shen Tianjiao asked Chunchao to deliver were all Yan Yu’s favorites in his previous life.
Looking at the food in front of him, Yan Yu was filled with mixed emotions.
Ever since he left in his previous life, no one cared about what he liked to eat. Today, when he saw the meals that Shen Tianjiao had ordered people to prepare for him, he felt like he had returned to the past.
"What are you staring at?" Shen Tianjiao looked at Yan Yu, who was sitting there in silence, lost in thought, waiting for his meal, and asked, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
"No." Yan Yu picked up the chopsticks and began to eat with his head down. The food made by the imperial chef in the palace was different after all. It was much more delicious than what he had eaten before.
Shen Tianjiao watched Yan Yu eat quietly and smiled unconsciously.
This feeling is really indescribable and wonderful. Who would have thought that after experiencing life and death, the two of them would still be sitting face to face and having a meal together like today?
"Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you hungry if you don't eat?"
Yan Yu, who was concentrating on eating, looked up and saw that Shen Tianjiao was not eating and was staring at him.
"I'm full. The beauty beside me is a feast for the eyes. I don't feel hungry anymore when I enjoy watching her eat."
Looking at Yan Yu, Shen Tianjiao suddenly wanted to tease him. Although Yan Yu's appearance had changed after he came here, he was still a rare handsome man.
In her previous life, Yan Yu had a nickname, and was jokingly called the Beautiful Yan by the people in the mansion.
Yan Yu not only has a feminine appearance, but also has an extremely superior bone structure, and he also has an indescribable sense of fragility.
This makes it impossible to connect with the general who led thousands of troops on the battlefield.
When they were young and often together in their previous life, Shen Tianjiao's greatest pleasure was teasing Yan Yu.
Once, in order to take Yan Yu to a flower-viewing banquet that only female members of the palace could attend, Shen Tianjiao lied to Yan Yu and said that she needed someone to protect her closely.
She disguised Yan Yu as a woman, made him her personal maid, and brought him into the palace with her.
No one present at the time recognized that Yan Yu was a man, which shows how outstanding Yan Yu's appearance was.
It was because of Yan Yu's outstanding appearance and divine beauty that he almost got into trouble back then.
At that time, those who attended the palace banquet were royal relatives, noble families, and wives of the most powerful families in the capital.
Those ladies, having seen the beautiful and stunning maidservant following Shen Tianjiao, spread the news throughout the capital city as quickly as possible.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. Naturally, these things made those lustful people have inappropriate thoughts. At that time, no matter whether they were princes or young masters from aristocratic families, they all had their eyes on the beautiful Lady Yan.
Because of this, Shen Tianjiao was punished by her grandfather and sent to the ancestral hall to reflect on her behavior for several days.
Later, they all acted out a play together, and only after the beautiful Yan died in an accident did the farce calm down.
As a result, Yan Yu didn't dare to go out openly with that face for many years, for fear of being recognized and having no way to explain himself.
Yan Yu, who was inexplicably teased by Shen Tianjiao, blushed instantly.
"Can you please let me eat properly? You're still the same as before, messing up all day long."
Yan Yu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Shen Tianjiao. He just placed Shen Tianjiao's bowl and chopsticks in front of her.
"Hurry up and eat. Stop making fun of me." Although Yan Yu didn't look up at Shen Tianjiao, he couldn't hide his concern for Shen Tianjiao.
"You're exhausted after working all day. Eat something and go get some rest."
Looking at the embarrassed Yan Yu, Shen Tianjiao put away her teasing thoughts and said seriously: "Okay, let's eat quickly."
The two of them finished their meal in silence, and Yan Yu went next door.
Although Chunchao and Xia He were very curious about Yan Yu's identity, that was just curiosity. They would keep Shen Tianjiao's affairs strictly confidential.
Without Shen Tianjiao's permission, even Ruan Yuhu and Qiong Niang would not reveal a single word.
After Yan Yu went to the next room, Chunchao and Xia He came in to clear the dishes on the table.
"Xia He, have someone rush out some clothes and send them to that person as soon as possible."
Although Shen Tianjiao did not specify who she was making clothes for, Xia He knew very well who she was talking about.
"Yes, I will start working on it right away. I will be able to make a new set of clothes tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Shen Tianjiao was good at fighting wars and governing the country, but she was not good at needlework. Whether in her previous life or this life, she had never made clothes or embroidered, and she had never even picked up a needle.
Since she knew nothing about making clothes, she could only leave this task to Xia He.
Yan Yu's clothes were already a little worn out because of the long journey back to the capital. Today, he walked in the tunnel with Shen Tianjiao on his back for so long, and his clothes were scratched by the stones inside, which made the clothes even more worn out.
Originally, Shen Tianjiao thought that she could finally go to bed early and have a good rest today, but in the end, the opposite happened.
Not long after she fell asleep, the person who was sent to Li Chaohui to replace the real Chun Niang came back.
After being woken up, Shen Tianjiao had to force herself to cheer up and get down to business.
"Master, Li Zhaohui has been persuaded and is ready to take action early."
These words made Shen Tianjiao no longer sleepy and immediately became energetic.
Haven't we waited for so long and prepared for so long just for this moment?
Shen Tianjiao's heart was beating wildly at this moment, and she suddenly felt an unprecedented excitement in her heart.
"Okay, well done."
Shen Tianjiao was still very satisfied with the performance of this 'Chun Niang' in front of her.
"Li Zhaohui has decided to abandon the Su family. She has sent her subordinates to Prime Minister Wang's residence tonight to find out what Prime Minister Wang's current plans are."
"If Prime Minister Wang still hasn't changed his mind and is willing to support her, then she will start a rebellion in the near future."
The subordinate who had been lurking around Li Zhaohui, disguised as "Chun Niang", was still unaware that Wang Yunzhi had abandoned Li Zhaohui and surrendered.
"This is easy to handle. Prime Minister Wang is now my servant. You and Chunchao will go to visit him at his residence later."
"Tell him what Li Zhaohui is planning, and then you can work together to come up with a proper plan."
"If this plan is feasible, then let Li Zhaohui take action in advance."
Without the Su family as a troublemaker, things would be much easier.
The people of the Su family may not be good at other things, but when it comes to cunning and scheming, there are only a handful of people in Shangjing City who can compare with them.
Without Su Chang, the old fox, giving advice and serving as Li Chaohui's military strategist, it would be easy for Li Chaohui to deal with her with his wisdom.
Shen Tianjiao has enough confidence that she can completely defeat Li Chaohui and his party this time.
Chunchao took his men out of the palace and went to Wang Yunzhi's house. Xia He was busy making new clothes for Yan Yu, so no one would disturb Shen Tianjiao anymore.
But at this moment, Shen Tianjiao was not sleepy at all. She was extremely energetic and completely excited that something big was about to happen.
Shen Tianjiao couldn't fall asleep, so she had no choice but to get up, put on her clothes, and go out for a stroll.
Sitting on the roof and watching the sky gradually darken, Shen Tianjiao couldn't help but sigh that she really didn't have such a good life. Even getting a good night's sleep was difficult.
With his head supported by his hands, he looked at Shen Tianjiao who was in a daze in the distance, when he was suddenly startled by a rustling sound.
She looked back vigilantly and found that it was a cat that came from nowhere and ran onto the roof.
There were often wild cats in the palace, so when Shen Tianjiao saw this cat, she didn't care.
She didn't like cats very much because when she was very young in her previous life, she was scratched by a cat raised by a concubine in the mansion. It left a psychological trauma on her, and she kept her distance from cats ever since then.
Originally, Shen Tianjiao planned that she and the cat would not disturb each other. She would continue to daydream and the cat would continue to play.
But what Shen Tianjiao didn't expect was that the cat was not afraid of people. It walked towards Shen Tianjiao with elegant, dignified and slow steps.
Shen Tianjiao looked at the cat getting closer and closer to her. The painful experience in her childhood made her heart alarm bells ring. She was about to get up and leave, but she didn't expect the kitten to jump into her arms.
A cat suddenly appeared in her arms, which made Shen Tianjiao's body freeze instantly. She didn't dare to move and looked down at the kitten in her arms.
The cat happened to be looking up, staring at Shen Tianjiao intently.
So the man and the cat just looked at each other.
In the end, it was the cat in her arms meowing at Shen Tianjiao that brought her back to her senses.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry? Are you looking for something to eat?"
"What do you want to eat? Oh, cats should like to eat fish, right? I'll take you downstairs and get you some fish, okay?"
Originally, Shen Tianjiao was just talking to herself and didn't expect the cat in her arms to respond. After all, how could a cat understand human language?
But what Shen Tianjiao didn't expect was that this cat seemed to be psychic. As soon as Shen Tianjiao finished speaking, it started meowing at her.
It looked as if she was acting coquettishly towards Shen Tianjiao.
Although she didn't like cats, Shen Tianjiao had to admit that this kitten was really adorable.
Holding it myself, it didn't seem as scary as I remembered.
Shen Tianjiao looked down at the cat in her arms, whose fur was shiny, sleek, and even a little round. She knew it was definitely not a wild cat, but a cat raised by someone in the palace.
Because a wild cat would never look like this. The owner of this cat must like it very much, so he raised it so well.
Tomorrow I will send someone to ask if anyone has lost a cat in the palace so that he can be sent back to his owner so that he won’t be sad and worried about not being able to find him.
