Chapter 298: Silent Princess in the Royal Marriage 13

Song Yan usually takes a long time to fall asleep, but tonight, as soon as he closed his eyes, sleepiness crept in. He could even smell the familiar scent of jasmine in his breath, which surprisingly calmed him down.
A few minutes later, Xie Shizhu heard the steady sound of Song Yan's breath, and she widened her eyes in shock.
No way, did Song Yan fall asleep just like that?
Isn't he the intimidating Ghost Emperor? Does he really have no guard up like this?
In order to confirm whether Song Yan was really asleep or pretending to be asleep, Xie Shizhu sat up and looked at Song Yan's sleeping face by the candlelight in the hall.
It must be said that if Song Yan didn't pretend to be sickly, Chaolan and the other concubines in the mansion wouldn't have focused solely on the crown prince. Translated Text:
Xie Shizhu gathered up the courage to pinch Song Yan's cheeks.
At this moment, Song Yan still hadn't opened his eyes, it seems he was truly asleep.
Xie Shizhu relaxed and let go of his hand, lying back down, quietly evaluating Song Yan's skin in his mind.
The feeling is good, very delicate.
System: [...]

The next day, Song Yan woke up and Xie Shizhu was still asleep.
女人紧闭双眼，墨发散落在枕边，还有些许落在他的脸颊上，很是恬静美好。
Song Yanxin felt a slight movement in her heart. She gently lifted the blanket and covered her shoulders with it.
Before leaving the hall, he glanced at her for a moment.
Hearing the fading footsteps, Xie Shizhu suddenly opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
The day of the street parade to display the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Household was approaching quickly.
There were many people gathered on the street, some carrying baskets filled with vegetable leaves and rotten eggs. As they saw the wooden cage carriage passing by, they quickly picked up the rotten eggs and threw them at it.
Xie Shizhu and Song Yan also arrived at this place.
They appeared to be grieving, saying that they came to bid farewell to Chao Lan for the last time, but in reality, they came to join in the excitement.
Chao Lan's hands and feet were chained, curled up in the corner of the prisoner's cart, with disheveled hair and dirty clothes, devoid of the previous luxury in the royal mansion.
After being hit by rotten eggs, Chao Lan remained unfazed.
It can be seen that in these days in the prison cell, he has already lost his sanity.
While the Chief Minister of the Ministry of Revenue continued to protest by pounding on the prisoner's wagon, he shouted, "Why did you kill my entire family? The entire Kingdom of Yan is not just me involved in corruption. If you release me, I can tell you about the others..."
The name was just about to be uttered when suddenly the Minister of Revenue's pupils dilated, as if he had been secretly attacked, and then he gasped for breath and died in the prison cart.
This shocked the onlookers.
谢时竹也震惊，下意识看向身边的男人，以为是他动手杀了户部尚书。
However, Song Yan's right hand was holding her wrist and he couldn't possibly have done it.
So there is another person.
Shortly after, the prisoner's cart departed from the sight of the crowd, and the execution was about to take place. A group of people followed behind the cart.
Xie Shizhu did not join them because she had other important matters to attend to.
But Song Yan is a trouble around her, she needs to find a way to get rid of him.
谢时竹眼珠子转了转，想了一个办法，她刚想比划时，宋砚先她一步。
"Princess, there is a famous cloth shop ahead. Now that you have become the princess, I should also give you some suitable clothes..." Song Yan raised his hand and pointed to a shop not far away, his lips curved into a smile as he looked down at Xie Shizhu.
Coincidentally, Song Yan has spoken her mind, she also wanted to use the excuse of the cloth shop to get rid of him.
Surprisingly, Song Yan thought the same way.
Does this person have any real business today? I wonder which poor soul is the target of this pervert.
谢时竹顺从地点了点小脑袋，随后跟宋砚一起前往了布庄。
As soon as the two of them entered, they saw the Crown Prince and Crown Princess also selecting fabrics.
不过这两人是微服私访，穿着都很普通，看来是不想让人知道他们的身份。
宋文彦不耐烦的表情再瞥见进来的人是谢时竹后，瞬间出现一丝惊喜。
他刚想前往到谢时竹身边时，太子妃挡在了他的面前，然后率先跟宋砚寒暄。
说话期间，都互相隐瞒了彼此的身份，不让布庄的人知道他们是皇室之人。
After all, the Crown Prince had already survived an assassination attempt last time.
谢时竹独自一人挑选着布，随即就听见宋文彦的声音响起：“今日你选的布，我给你买。”
Xie Shizhu: "..." Big brother, could you please stay away from me?
However, she was quickly interrupted by Song Yan: "Thank you for the prince's kindness."
谢时竹：“……”她还以为宋砚会拒绝，差点忘了这个变态比他还抠门。
Princess Taizi had a dark and somber expression. She glanced at Xie Shizhu and then turned and walked out of the cloth shop.
Song Wenyan also ignored her and stood beside Xie Shizhu, recommending fabrics to her.
Xie Shizhu's lips curled up slightly, and just as her hand touched Song Wenyan's waist, Song Yan walked up to her.
Scared, Xie Shizhu quickly withdrew his hand.
Song Wenyen became annoyed when he saw Song Yan, he glanced at him and learned that Xie Shizhu was already Song Yan's princess consort. He couldn't do anything inappropriate in front of everyone. Translation:
If he leaves a bad reputation, it will greatly affect his ascension.
With this in mind, Song Wenyin threw some silver to the cloth shop owner, implying that he was taking responsibility for the items Shen Zhu purchased. He then left the cloth shop with a high and mighty attitude.
After he left, Xie Shizhu also lost interest in staying, after all, she still needed to obtain Song Wenyan's token.
She quickly picked a few pieces of fabric and gestured to Song Yan, saying, "Prince, why don't we stay at the Xinyu Inn tonight and return to the mansion tomorrow?"
Song Yan nodded and said softly, "Okay."
After all, it would take some time to go back, and with the crowded streets, it would be more convenient to go back tomorrow.
Immediately after, Xie Shizhu came to the next-door Xinyu Inn holding a piece of cloth.
Upon arriving at the inn, Song Yan took out some copper coins and gave them to the waiter.
The waiter counted them with a disdainful expression and then assigned them the smallest room.
He then led them to the front of the room, opened the door, and quickly closed it after the two entered.
宋砚看着她轻笑一声说：“本王去楼上沐浴，你先就寝。”
Because the living conditions in the house were not good, bathing had to be done in the communal tub upstairs.
Xie Shizhu nodded and watched as Song Yan walked away.
门被合上后，她快速从里面反锁住门，又脱下外衣，换上早已经让人藏在屋子榻下的一袭黑衣。
Once everything was taken care of, she climbed out of the window.
双脚落到地上，她在下面锁定了太子所住的屋子，身形轻盈地爬上了窗户，从外面打开。
她看见宋文彦躺在木桶里沐浴的背影，黑发湿漉漉的，好像睡着了。
Xie Shizhu walked in lightly and approached the clothes casually discarded by the prince on the ground. She bent down and picked up the token lying in the middle of the clothes.
After getting hold of it, Xie Shizhu quickly went out through the window.
Action in one breath.
After she landed on her feet, just as she was about to return to her own room, a slender hand with prominent joints suddenly pressed on her shoulder.
A chilling voice of a man entered Xie Shizhu's ears: "Thief God." Translated: "
Xie Shizhu's legs went weak and her back stiffened.
This tone is completely different from Song Yan, but the voice sounds exactly the same.
If she didn't know Song Yan's true identity, she probably wouldn't believe that the man behind her was Song Yan.
She wanted to cry but had no tears. It turned out that she was the unlucky little pitiful one.
Xie Shizhu quickly calmed down and swiftly pushed away Song Yan's hand. With extremely agile movements, she leapt into the air and jumped onto the roof.
Song Yan was startled and seemed surprised that the Thief God was a woman.
However, this was not important to him. In his eyes, both men and women were worth thirty thousand taels of gold.
Song Yan leaped effortlessly onto the roof, landing with perfect stability. Please note that "@" is not a commonly used symbol in English texts. If you are looking for a different translation or if you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
He saw a woman in a black dress, with a thin back, about to leave his field of vision.
At this moment, Song Yan prepared to stab the escaping woman with a poisoned needle.
Suddenly, the woman not far in front of him stopped in her tracks.
谢时竹差点哭了，她忘了宋砚完全可以不用靠近她就能杀掉自己。
Instead of running away, it would be better to beg Song Yan to spare her life later.
Song Yan was very surprised. It was the first time he had seen someone halfway through escaping but not running away.
He walked up to the woman calmly, then grabbed her shoulders and pulled her body towards him.
The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of clear eyes, but the rest of her face was completely covered by a black veil.
Song Yan slightly frowned, with deep eyes. In the next second, he extended his long finger and unveiled the woman's face veiled underneath.
