Chapter 18 Confess Identity
Ji Anyu's mind suddenly became clear.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Hmph!" Shen Jing turned his head away arrogantly.

Ji Anyu rubbed Shen Jing's chin and glanced at the ground out of the corner of his eye.

It turned out that there was a group of guards kneeling on the ground, and the leader was Zhu Sha, who had never looked at her well.

They lowered their heads and the expressions on their faces could not be seen clearly.

At this time, Ji Anyu realized that she and Shen Jing were behaving too intimately.

Her little face suddenly turned red and she quickly moved away from Shen Jing.

His arms suddenly felt empty, and Shen Jing thought it was a pity. He really wanted to marry Ji Anyu and take her home.

"Let's go. Your father must be going crazy looking for you right now."

Ji Anyu opened her mouth and was about to say, "She has been missing for sixteen years, she would have gone crazy a long time ago," but she glanced at the people around her and swallowed her words.

"I'm so hungry, let me fill my stomach first." Ji Anyu licked his lips, "I still miss the pheasant you roasted last time."

At that time, Shen Jing was injured, and Ji Anyu had no money to buy a chicken for Shen Jing to nourish his body.

Shen Jing couldn't stand drinking plain porridge every day, and seeing that Ji Anyu was so thin that the rice grains were clearly visible at the bottom of the bowl of porridge.

So Shen Jing cut bamboo despite his injuries and used the bamboo to make bows and arrows. He took great pains to teach Ji Anyu how to shoot arrows, and then took Ji Anyu into the mountains to hunt.

The diet of the two people was improved.

But Ji Anyu could not eat meat for many years, and the consequence of his indulgence in eating meat was stomach pain and diarrhea.

Ji Anyu didn't want to get sick from eating too much, and seeing a doctor would cost money, so most of the meat went into Shen Jing's mouth.

"Second...A Jing, you should roast the pheasant today."

After saying this, Ji Anyu suddenly felt the breathing sounds around him stagnate, and it became frighteningly quiet.

Even though the guards bowed their heads, she could imagine them secretly mocking her for overestimating her own abilities.

That's right, Shen Jing is the eldest son of Prince Zhong's Mansion. How could she order Shen Jing to roast a pheasant?

Seeing that Shen Jing didn't even look at her, she quickly apologized.

"Ah Jing, I just said something wrong."

"What did you call me?" Shen Jing turned his head stiffly and looked at her.

He couldn't describe the emotion in his heart, he just felt a current running through his body, making him feel numb and tingling.

Ji Anyu mistakenly thought that Shen Jing didn't like her crossing the line, glanced at Zhu Sha and others, and whispered.

"Didn't you say that I can't call you Ergou in front of others?"

"Hmm." Shen Jing looked embarrassed.

He likes to listen. Now that everyone around him is his, it doesn't matter if his own people know it.

But if outsiders heard it... after all, he and Ji Anyu were not married yet.

Ji Anyu had no idea that Shen Jing was feeling conflicted, and she stood silently by the side, waiting for Shen Jing to speak.

Zhusha saw that they had nothing to say and thought to himself that they had finally finished their conversation.

When he and his brothers found the Prince, Ji Anyu was sleeping soundly. The Prince stopped him from talking. In addition, his men failed to protect Ji Anyu, which put Ji Anyu in danger.

He knew he was guilty, so he led his brothers to kneel down to appease the prince's anger.

"Master, I have something to say."

"allow."

Zhu Sha stood up and whispered in Shen Jing's ear, "Last night, the secret guards of Nanhou Mansion saw you and Miss Ji, and Wei Songlin was checking on Miss Ji."

Shen Jing's face turned cold.

It seems that it won’t be long before those people know about Ji Anyu’s existence.

Shen Jing sent the guards away to go hunting. He hooked his arms around Ji Anyu's waist and held her in his arms.

"It's my fault that I didn't protect you."

Ji Anyu guessed that maybe Shen Jing's rivals had found out about her.

She patted Shen Jing on the back and comforted him.

"It's okay, you've done your best." Loosen up a little, she was choking from being held. Shen Jing seemed to sense something and loosened his tense arms.

"Ji Anyu, I dragged you into the quagmire, do you blame me?"

Of course it's strange! She's not a saint.

However, considering that she also used Shen Jing, she reluctantly forgave him.

"Look, wasn't I being hunted by Wei Luoyan last night? Even without you, I'm still surrounded by dangers. You saved me, and Wei Luoyan must hate you to death now."

Shen Jing's blocked chest suddenly felt unblocked, and in his excitement he couldn't control himself and raised his hand to rub Ji Anyu's head.

When he saw Ji Anyu's messy hair was messed up by him, he finally reacted and withdrew his hand guiltily.

"I'll give you a roast pheasant."

"Yeah!" Ji Anyu grinned.

Shen Jing pondered for a long time during the barbecue.

Since those people would sooner or later know that he and Ji Anyu had an unusual relationship, he would show it to others generously.

"I'll escort you back to the capital."

"Aren't you going home?"

Shen Jing's eyebrows curved, "My family is in the capital. I am actually Shen Jing, the prince of Zhongwang Mansion. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but my identity is special and I am afraid that I will bring you a fatal disaster."

Ji Anyu reacted very naturally to Shen Jing's shock and almost knelt down in public. Fortunately, Shen Jing stopped her in time.

"With the prince escorting me back to the capital, I will be able to get home safely."

Shen Jing felt a little disappointed that he didn't hear the name he liked. He concealed the bitterness in his eyes and smiled sarcastically.

"Wei Luoyan has offended the Duke's Mansion, so he should be extremely worried and will not do anything rash for the time being."

If he puts pressure on Nanhou Mansion again, Wei Luoyan will be in trouble under the imperial power.

……

Wei Luoyan didn't know that he would face huge anger in the future. He slept well all night and asked impatiently as soon as he opened his eyes.

"do you died?"

Shuda bowed his head respectfully: "Ji Anyu was taken away by Shen Jing, and Shen Jing was assassinated at that time. They were surrounded by assassins, so they must be dead."

Wei Luoyan was stunned. He didn't expect that Shen Jing and Ji Anyu had a beginning and an end at this time. He thought that Ji Anyu got to know Shen Jing after returning to the capital.

Although Shen Jing is a playboy, he is a master of martial arts.

In his previous life, he sent palace masters to assassinate Shen Jing but failed.

Thinking about the adulterer and the whore going through a thrilling assassination, their feelings must have grown rapidly, and they might be hiding in some corner to be affectionate with each other.

Wei Luoyan was furious: "Shuda, why don't you stay there?"

"I was worried that the assassins knew us and didn't want the Nanhou Mansion to get into trouble, so I left quickly."

"You..." Wei Luoyan was so angry that he was speechless.

"Sir, I did not send anyone to hunt down the Duke. I only injured the guards protecting Ji Anyu, including one of the Duke's closest confidants. There was too much noise last night, and the Marquis of Nan may have already known about the assassination."

Wei Luoyan’s face turned pale and ugly, and he covered his heavy chest.

I've been busy for most of the day, but it's all in vain.

"Help me up. I will personally go and apologize to the Duke."

Shuda's eyes lit up, fortunately the young master did not lose his mind.

At this time, Ji Xiuxu stayed in an inn in a small town near the place where Shen Jing was assassinated.

Last night, when he discovered that Shuda was trying his best to assassinate Ji Anyu, he led his men to chase him, picked up the injured Daduan and others, and continued to move forward.

I happened to see Shen Jing leading Ji Anyu out of the siege.

The assassins mistakenly thought he was Shen Jing's helper and sent some of them to deal with him.

By the time he had cleared out the assassins, Ji Anyu was no longer visible in the woods.

He led people to search everywhere until Zhusha told him that Ji Anyu was fine and asked him to go to a nearby inn to rest first and he could see Ji Anyu tomorrow.
