Chapter 397 It’s settled
Shen Yiyi stared at Shang Zhanchen with a pair of rabbit eyes. She didn't expect him to say that and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Shang Zhanchen thought that she had listened to him. He was delighted and started to persuade her again.
"That's right, we have a one-year agreement, and during this year, you just need to be your Crown Princess.
Leave the task of finding the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus to me, I will send someone to look for it."
"You're going to look for it?"
"Yes, I will send people to look for it. I can send more people to search all over the country. The hope is much greater than if you search alone. You just wait for news in the palace, okay?"
"Can you find it?" Shen Yiyi looked at the man with anticipation in her eyes.
"If I send so many people and they can't find it, can you find it by yourself?"
"I..." Shen Yiyi choked and was speechless.
"You should know better than me how dangerous it is out there. Even if you have the ability to protect yourself, there is always a loophole.
What's more, if you leave again, Jiang Zuo and Han Chun will not be able to follow you.
You don't even have a helper around you. If you really encounter any danger, it will be difficult to escape.
Why don't you just wait obediently in the palace? If there is any news about the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus, I will inform you immediately."
“……” Shen Yiyi didn’t say anything.
She blinked her big red and swollen eyes and stared at the men, as if this was okay, even though they had deceived her.
But he would really help him find the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus if he really sent someone to help him find it.
That would definitely be much better than looking for it alone, especially if you leave.
Xiao Jiang can no longer go with her, and he won’t be able to see Han Chun and Boss Jiang and the others.
When I think about eating and living alone from now on, it will be too boring to be alone.
But it was different staying in the palace. I could see them every day, and most importantly, they were helping me find the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus.
And he also said that he would not force himself. Actually, this is not a bad idea. Thinking of this, he looked at Shang Zhanchen seriously again.
"Then you have to send more people to help me find the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus?"
"Okay, I promise you, I will send more people to look for her." Shang Zhanchen's eyes lit up.
I was so excited that Yiyi agreed.
"Then let's make a deal. It's a one-year term, and you can't force me, right?"
Even though she liked this man a little bit, she didn't want to be forced by him if she couldn't find the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus in a year.
That meant that the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus was not here, and it really had no chance of being with her. There was no chance for her to return to Tianling Kingdom.
Then you can consider the man in front of you. After all, he suits your taste in every aspect.
"Okay, I promise you, I will never force you." Shang Zhanchen was ecstatic and excited that he could hardly control himself.
"Okay, let's settle this for now. You can't lie to me." Shen Yiyi sniffed again, which made Shang Zhanchen very happy.
"Okay, let's make it a deal. I will never lie to you."
He held Shen Yiyi tightly in his arms, showing his big white teeth with joy.
Yiyi finally agreed, and he no longer had to lie to her.
"Let me go! Didn't you say you wouldn't force me?" Shen Yiyi frowned.
He hugged her without her permission and used so much force that he almost strangled her to death.
"Oh, no force, no force, sorry, I'm just too happy." Shang Zhanchen immediately let go of Shen Yiyi.
He was as happy as a little kid and rushed out directly, almost bumping into Jiang Zuo and others who were eavesdropping against the door.
"Congratulations, master!" Jiang Zuo and the others also laughed like fools.
The master finally made it through, and they won’t have to lie in front of the Crown Princess anymore. It’s really a beautiful scene.
"Yeah." Shang Zhanchen nodded excitedly.
He didn't have time to deal with them and quickly rushed to the side hall. When he came out again, he was holding a silk quilt in his hands.
Before Jiang Zuo and Jiang You could say anything, he rushed into Shen Yiyi's room again.
Just as he was about to spread the quilt on the bed, he was stopped by Shen Yiyi.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yiyi frowned and looked at the quilt in his hand.
"Make the bed and go to sleep!" Shang Zhanchen still had a smile on his face.
"How can you sleep here?" Shen Yiyi pouted again.
She hasn't accepted this man yet, so how can she sleep in the same bed with him?
"But you are my Crown Princess. If we don't sleep together, outsiders will gossip about us. Don't worry, I won't touch you."
"That won't work either. You can't sleep here."
"But..." Shang Zhanchen was ruthlessly interrupted by Shen Yiyi before he could finish his words.
"You just can't sleep here. You said you wouldn't force me."
"You..." Shang Zhanchen wanted to say something else.
But when he saw Shen Yiyi pouting and getting angry again, he thought that she had just forgiven him, and if he made her angry again.
Then the previous agreement should not be acknowledged. He glanced at the chaise longue next to him, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.
"Then can I sleep here?" He added, fearing that Shen Yiyi would disagree.
We can't sleep in separate rooms. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they will definitely make a fuss about it.
"Well... okay, then you can sleep there." Shen Yiyi agreed reluctantly.
I wanted to let him sleep in a side hall, but what he said made sense. If those people outside knew that the prince and the princess slept in separate rooms, who knows what they would say.
The first person to come to see me would definitely be the queen, and I don’t know what she would say about her.
To avoid getting yourself into trouble, just sleep wherever you want.
Seeing that Shen Yiyi no longer objected, Shang Zhanchen spread the quilt on the chaise longue, feeling extremely depressed.
I thought I could sleep with my wife in my arms openly, but it turned out to be a false alarm. However, I remembered that I didn't have to be on guard against her running away like before.
I felt less depressed now. I spread out the quilt and lay on it to give it a try.
It was extremely tough. Even though he had suffered a lot outside, he had never suffered such torture in the palace.
But for now, for Yiyi, I can only endure it, but Shen Yiyi is satisfied.
Seeing that the man slept on the chaise longue obediently without saying anything else, she felt very relieved and then she crawled into her own bed.
But Shang Zhanchen was depressed. How could such a small chaise longue possibly accommodate a tall man over 1.8 meters tall?
Half of his calf was hanging down, and he had to be very careful even when turning over, for fear that he would roll down if he moved too much.
But he still endured it with difficulty, and only stood up after hearing Shen Yiyi's even breathing.
He walked over quietly, sneaked onto the bed, and got into Shen Yiyi's quilt.
He stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms, hugging the softness in her arms, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"..."
That chaise longue is not a place for people to sleep. It’s more comfortable to sleep with my wife in my arms.
