第302章 和亲的哑巴公主17

话音一落，谢时竹再也没有什么动静。
忽然之间，她肚子咕咕响了起来，打破了这份寂静。
With a soft chuckle, Song Yan walked over and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, gently saying, "You probably haven't eaten anything either. The meals from the kitchen have just been brought to the main hall."
Xie Shizhu nodded and obediently followed Song Yan to the main hall.
When they arrived at the palace, the other three concubines were also there.
Upon seeing Xie Shizhu and Song Yan being intimate, Concubine Shu's face showed embarrassment.
These concubines had been in the Prince's Residence for three years, while Xie Shizhu had only been there for one year.
Regardless of status or position, it is appropriate for her, Shu Fei, to become the princess. How did a mute from the Northern Desert end up in this position?
Just because she is beautiful?
After Song Yan took his seat, Xie Shizhu sat next to him.
Not long after, the maidservant and servant brought the dishes.
Song Yan picked up his chopsticks and carefully picked a piece of meat for Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu smiled at Song Yan and stuffed the meat into his mouth.
Princess Shefei also took a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. With widened eyes, she exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of meat is this, so tender."
Song Yan turned his head to look at Xie Shizhu and smirked, "Pigeon meat."
Xie Shizhu almost vomited the meat he swallowed.
Really? Song Yan, this lunatic, killed that pigeon?
Shu Fei nodded, "No wonder."
Xie Shizhu ate his meal in fear and trepidation. What a shocking scene!
After finishing the meal, she finally felt relieved and quickly found an excuse of doing laundry to slip away.
Song Yan watched her hastily escaping figure and raised an eyebrow.
*
She refused to let her maidservant wash for her, instead, sitting alone on a stone bench, scrubbing the clothes.
Xie Shizhu was washing while pondering in her mind.

This thief god still has some use.
Randomly, Xie Shizhu thought of the day when the Minister of Revenue was beheaded, he seemed to want to mention someone, but was assassinated.
*
Nightfall quickly arrived, Xie Shizhu returned to the main hall and didn't see Song Yan's figure inside. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Then quickly change into a black robe and disappear into the night.
Not long after she left, Shu Fei quietly entered the main hall alone. She actually came here to get some silver coins.
She heard that last time, Xie Shizhu was directly rewarded with five thousand taels of gold for her dance at the moon-viewing banquet.
这么多黄金，她拿一两个谢时竹也发现不了。
姝妃轻手轻脚进到正殿，她以为谢时竹会在，没想到里面竟然空无一人。
She no longer tiptoed silently, but stood up straight and rummaged through things in a big and flamboyant manner.
After half an hour of searching, she didn't find any gold, but she did find a badge in Xie Shizhu's clothes.
At first, Shu Fei didn't pay attention, but when she took out the sign and saw the name on it, her face suddenly changed.
This is the prince's token!
How did it end up in Xie Shizhu's hands?
Moreover, I heard that the crown prince's token was stolen by some thief.
Princess Shu wore an incredulous expression, could Xie Shizhu be the thief?
After the shock, Princess Shu thought, that's great, she must expose Xie Shizhu in front of the crown prince.
Princess Fei tightly gripped the token and secretly slipped out of the main hall.
*
Usually, only a prestigious minister could boldly trade women like this.
Xie Shizhu silently counted the influential officials in his heart and then entered one household after another. Translation:
She was effortlessly strolling in the residences of several courtiers, even entering their study rooms without being noticed by anyone.
After finding nothing in Xie Shizhu's place, she proceeded to the residence of the Left Censor.
The government office is heavily guarded, with guards patrolling back and forth, even more so than the royal palace.
Even the area it occupies is three times that of the royal palace.
Xie Shizhu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, while Song Yan feels incredibly frustrated, as a prince living under such circumstances. Translated:
不过，只有他能忍辱负重。
要不然怎么会亲手杀掉自己的父皇呢。
剧情中宋砚为了夺得皇位，想要威胁皇帝，让他让位给自己，可皇帝表面答应，背地里却想反击。
Song Yan, without any hesitation, used his sword to cut off the emperor's head, even though the emperor refused to give him the throne no matter what.
Even if he didn't succeed in obtaining the throne, he still wanted to kill the emperor, indicating that his deep-seated hatred had accumulated and was about to erupt.
Also, it was his father who personally killed his biological mother.
It is normal to have such a desire for revenge.
No, how can she think that a perverted mindset is normal?
System: [Hmm...maybe you're also a pervert.]
Xie Shizhu: "..."
在谢时竹从外面跳进府中的树上，就听到男子的声音响起：“谁？”
祁子安抬眸看向树上的她，眼中带着几分质疑，上下环视她一圈。
而祁子安身边还站了太子。
宋文彦看见谢时竹后一怔，随后语气颇为激动地说：“这肯定是盗神！就是她偷走了本王的令牌。”
When they saw the figure of a woman, both of them were a little surprised.
Song Wenyan turned to look at Qi Zian: "You go after her for me."
Qi Zian quickly responded: "Yes."
Qi Zian's martial arts are very high. Xie Shizhu has already easily leaped onto the roof. She quickly jumps from this roof to another one.
Her figure is very agile.
Qi Zian follows closely behind, he draws his sword and throws it directly at Xie Shizhu's back, bringing with it a gust of sharp wind that sweeps straight towards the woman's back.
Xie Shizhu heard a movement and slightly dodged. The sword bypassed her waist and stabbed straight into a nearby tree trunk.
The blade penetrated the wood to a depth of five to six centimeters.
If this sword stabbed into her spine, she would probably be reduced to a mere skeleton now.
Xie Shizhu wants to jump from the roof to the mansion's exterior when suddenly, Qi Zian's hand produces a rope and extends it straight towards her waist.
If she is really tied up, then it's over.
Below is Song Wenyin.
Xie Shizhu turned around with a brave face, wanting to face the steel head-on, but a slender figure swiftly stood in front of her, immediately drew out a sword, and cut the incoming rope.
又伸手敏捷地勾住她的腰，带着她从屋顶跳到府外。
府中的宋文彦微怔，看到突然多出来的一个黑衣人，瞧见对方的装扮以及颀长的身躯，愣了愣。
One second later, Song Wenyang's voice was filled with excitement: "Is it the Ghost Emperor? Ah ah ah, is it?"
Qi Zian: "..."
Qi Zian stared at the two figures getting farther and farther away, but instead of chasing after them, he first answered the Crown Prince's words: "Reporting to Your Highness, I have fought against the Ghost Emperor before, this should be him."
Song Wenyu exclaimed excitedly, "Since it's his words, then stop pursuing him."
That's the Ghost Emperor, we mustn't harm him even slightly.
*
A gust of wind blew past their ears as Xie Shizhu turned his head to look at the other person.
没错，这是宋砚。
虽然黑布遮住了他一半的脸，但一双眸子她不会认错，格外黑沉。
这人过来是为了三万两黄金。
唉，她还不如跟祁子安正面对决算了。
At least she wouldn't die such a tragic death.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Song Yan had already led her to a deserted street.
After confirming that there was no one around, Song Yan let go of her.
谢时竹站稳脚，已经洗干净脖子等着宋砚动手。
也在心里做好了要杀要剐的准备。
可宋砚瞥她一眼，冷淡道：“走吧。”
Xie Shizhu's mouth, hidden under the veil, opened wide.
Thirty thousand taels of gold, just like that?
Xie Shizhu couldn't believe it, took a few tentative steps, then stopped and looked back at Song Yan. I have finished translating the text.
Song Yan also squinted his eyes and stared at her, his eyes seemed to carry a hint of exploration.
It seems like he's really considering whether thirty thousand taels of gold are worth a human life.
Xie Shizhu swallowed her saliva, no longer daring to hesitate, quickly leaped onto the top of the wall, and soon her figure disappeared into the darkness.
*
Xie Shizhu quickly changed into new clothes upon returning to the Wang Residence. As she lay down, she heard the sound of the door opening.
Under the flickering light of the candles, Song Yan's figure elongated and was cast onto the ground.
这片阴影逐渐靠近她，最后将她笼罩住。
谢时竹掀开眼皮，看着宋砚苍白的容貌，扯了一个笑，撑起身子，纤细的手指比划了一段话：“王爷，怎么回来这么晚？”
Song Yan smiled gently: "I accidentally fell asleep while taking a bath."
Xie Shizhu nodded, uncovering the bedding next to him and quickly stood up to help Song Yan take off his outer clothes.
When there was only Liyi left, Song Yan naturally laid down beside her, as if the two had long been sharing the same bed.
While sleeping, Song Yan suddenly hugged Xie Shizhu, completely enveloping her.
Xie Shizhu was startled and froze, not daring to move.
Song Yan seemed addicted, breathing in the fragrance on her body.
Xie Shizhu cautiously tested the waters, taking the initiative to embrace Song Yan's waist, and immediately felt a momentary stiffness in the man's body.
It seemed that she did not expect such a move from her.
Xie Shizhu was tired and did not have the energy to continue fighting with Song Yan. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
And after she fell asleep, Song Yan slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on her face, for a long, long time.
*
The next day.
Xie Shizhu was pulling weeds in the courtyard. She squatted on the ground, and her delicate fingers were stained with dust, looking dirty.
Several maidservants were also pulling weeds in the courtyard with her.
After a while, the imperial concubine appeared behind them with several maidservants.
The imperial concubine still kept the token she found last night in Xie Shizhu's clothes as evidence, so now she finally had a chance to threaten Xie Shizhu.
When she sees the Crown Prince, she will definitely make Xie Shizhu be thrown into the dungeon, and then take the position of the royal concubine herself.
Just as the Imperial Concubine was about to mock Xie Shizhu, she heard footsteps not far away. She quickly turned around, and what appeared before her eyes was the Crown Prince dressed in a python robe, with a tall and handsome figure.
姝妃心里大喜，没想到太子这么快来了。
谢时竹的好日子也到头了。
太子身后跟了几个侍卫，自从被刺过一次，宋文彦无论走哪都带上几个侍卫。
His gaze automatically locked onto a woman squatting on the ground.
She was dressed in a green robe, hands tightly gripping a grass stalk taller than a person. In order to exert all her strength, her buttocks were also raised, and the fabric of her clothes outlined her curvaceous and perky figure.
Song Wenyi coughed unnaturally, and Xie Shizhu only gave up the grass on the ground and turned to look at him.
Seeing that it was the Crown Prince, Xie Shizhu quickly knelt down and paid his respects.
And when the imperial concubine saw her kneel down, she herself did not want to appear weak, immediately prostrating on the ground. Keep all 'at' symbols:
With a smug smile in her heart, Shu Fei was just about to speak up and denounce Xie Shi Zhu when she heard something fall from her sleeve and make a crisp sound as it hit the ground.
Following that, the Crown Prince's gaze shifted to the object that had fallen to the ground.
After seeing his own token, Song Wenyuan's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "What a surprise. You turned out to be the Thief God. Capture her for me and behead her immediately."
姝妃一愣，随即两个侍卫将她按倒在地，然后不顾姝妃挣扎，便拖着就往府外走。
“太子殿下，您误会臣妾了，臣妾不是什么盗神，是……”
Halfway through the conversation, the guard found her too noisy and slapped her with a hand, causing the concubine to faint and the sound to disappear.
Xie Shizhu: "......" Shuan q, the scapegoat.
