The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

Yan Sinian stood alone at the window where Xiao Ba had just left.

The cold moonlight shines on the flower bed outside.

Yan Sinian's hand unconsciously turned the jade token in his hand.

Xiao Ba's words just now were unintentional, but Yan Sinian took them seriously.

He never doubted his feelings for Xiao Ba, even though he had never experienced the love between a father and a daughter in his past or present life, he would not deny his own heart.

Reborn, perhaps after going through the flames of hell, perhaps as a gift from the Holy Light, or perhaps for some inexplicable reasons. Yan Sinian's personal abilities have reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.

If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to avoid his past life's death and to find out the cause and effect, then even if he tied all those people together, they wouldn't be enough for him to kill.

Therefore, in his eyes, with Xiao Ba's abilities, except for some special beings, no one else can hurt Xiao Ba in the slightest.

He never worried about whether Xiao Ba would be in danger or get hurt.

Sometimes, when his subordinates couldn't accomplish something, he would ask them to use some delicious food to invite (tempt) Xiao Ba to help them deal with some difficult people.

But after listening to Xiao Ba's words today, Yan Sinian suddenly understood that protecting a person's heart has nothing to do with the ability of the protected person.

Even if a person has great abilities, it is impossible for him not to care whether others care about him.

Her strong ability is not a reason for others, or even herself, to put her in danger.

Yan Sinian is a person who knows how to reflect on himself. Perhaps it is because of some legacy from his past life. When encountering something, Yan Sinian will subconsciously reflect on himself first, even if he has tried his best to restrain and deny it. This is also one of the reasons why he cannot easily trust others.

From Xiao Ba's few words, the first thing he saw was his own shortcomings.

Because Xiao Ba is very capable, we ignore the fact that she also needs care and protection from others.

On weekdays, he just cleans up the aftermath of what Xiao Ba does. No matter how big a trouble Xiao Ba gets into, he can settle it for her.

It's more like raising a cat, just take it out for a spin and then go straight home.

Even if someone bit her chicken or stole her fish, I would stand up for her, but I never thought about whether she would be beaten or hurt.

Shiliu Niang's scheming behavior can move Xiao Ba (even if only a little bit), which also shows that Xiao Ba still cares about her.

Facing the lonely moon and cool breeze, Yan Sinian thought a lot. Although he didn't think it through too clearly, his feelings for Xiao Ba quietly and imperceptibly deepened in his heart.

From now on, Xiao Ba will no longer be the "ferocious beast" he keeps by his side, but the "lovely child" he cherishes in his heart and holds in his hands. Even if he himself has not thought of this yet.

Yan Sinian's faint voice suddenly rang out: "Go, chop off all the fingers of that girl called Shi Niang."

"Yes!" There was a voice but no one answered, and then the house returned to silence.

After a few breaths, the room was empty.

……

Xiao Ba looked at the note given by Aunt Fu, and searched for the words on the tablets in the room.

Finally, I found the spirit tablets of Concubine Li’s parents at the side of the second row.

Xiao Ba picked up the tablet and tried to see if he could dismantle the base and put the hairpin that the nanny had given him into the tablet.

I saw a smaller single-person tablet behind the tablet.

It looked as if someone had accidentally placed some of them in the wrong position, and some of them were blocked by the ones in front, but when Xiao Ba picked them up casually, he found the difference.

This single tablet is cleaner and smoother than the double one in front of it, and it is obviously wiped frequently.

“The lotus seat of Empress Xian and Mother Yan, Mrs. Li…?” Xiao Ba looked at the words on the tablet in confusion.

"This should be the private tablet that Princess Jinshan set up for Concubine Li." Yan Sinian said, standing behind Xiao Ba.

The reason why Yan Sinian said that it was the tablet of Concubine Li was because there had been women from the Li family who entered the palace before, but only Concubine Li gave birth to a child and raised it. Even though the living one was only an adopted daughter, the child was recorded under the name of Concubine Li in the royal jade dish.

But the tablet had neither rank nor honorific name, only Yan's mother Li. Looking at these contradictory words, it seems that there was a rift between Princess Jinshan and Concubine Li, which was not entirely groundless.

"Why are you here? I'm just putting something down. Your things are not needed." Xiao Ba already knew when Yan Sinian entered the room, so he was not frightened.

"Accompany you." Yan Sinian did not explain anything. He just smiled gently at Xiao Bay and said two words softly.

Xiao Ba really couldn't resist the smile of the most beautiful woman in the world. When he saw that smile, he had already forgotten what he had asked. He could only follow Yan Sinian's smile and curl up the corners of his mouth.

After a while, Xiao Ba came to his senses, shook the hairpin in his hand and asked Yan Sinian: "Should we still put this one on?"

What the nanny meant was that placing Concubine Li's hairpin under her parents' tablets would be considered as her returning to her parents.

Although Xiao Ba didn't understand this behavior, he knew what it meant.

"Put it away. Go back and tell Aunt Fu that you have put it away. Let her feel at ease."

Xiao Ba nodded. He never had any doubts about Yan Sinian’s words and only carried them out.

She pulled off the base of the tablet of Concubine Li's parents. With her ability, it was not difficult at all to carve a hole in the tablet.

Just when Yan Sinian was accompanying Xiao Ba to do carpentry work in the Li family's ancestral hall.

An "evil guest" came to Princess Jinshan's courtyard.

Looking at the woman sitting opposite her who was bowing to her, Princess Jinshan sneered.

"How dare my good brother send you to see me? Aren't you afraid that I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs? If you feel bad later, I won't be able to compensate you."

"Princess, you are joking. I am old and have lost my color. The prince has many beautiful women around him. If I kill you, the prince will thank you for saving him one person's food. But I will dirty your land and trouble the sisters outside to clean it up."

Although the woman said she was old, she actually looked to be in her early 30s, less than 40. Her feet and hands were a little big, but from her face, it was not difficult to tell that she was also a beautiful lady when she was young.

The woman's name was Ying Niang. She was originally a maid who came with Princess Jinshan as a dowry. Although she did not grow up with the princess, she was promoted step by step by the princess from a maid who did menial work to a maid who came with the dowry.

The grudges here and what happened between the master and the servant cannot be explained in a short time.

So when Princess Jinshan found out that Yingniang was Prince Kang's woman, she was already on the verge of going crazy.

He had Yingniang beaten to a point where she was almost dead, and then thrown to the corner gate of Prince Kang's mansion.

After that, more than ten years passed, and this was the first time they spoke face to face.

"After all these years, the princess is still so resentful."

Seeing that everyone in the room had been sent out, Ying Niang sat directly on the embroidery stool next to her.
