Chapter 2: Turbulence in the Hunting Competition (2)
——But on the other side——
"That person just now did say it was here, why can't I find it?"
Looking at the darkness and unfamiliarity all around, Yin Yin felt a little angry and impatient!
"Why is the palace so big? And I didn't even see a ghost. What's the connection? Compared to my home, this is ridiculously big!"
Yinyin narrated in a mumbling manner. The "home" she was talking about was the real home. When she thought of this, Yinyin, who was originally angry about not being able to find a direction, suddenly became sad? She lowered her head, with a sad expression on her face...
"dad--"
Tears slid down her cheeks. She wiped them away with both hands, but she couldn't stop crying. She simply squatted down and hugged her knees and cried bitterly... In the silent night, the empty space should have been peaceful, but the crying broke this quiet space...
Just as Yin Yin was crying, a figure quietly walked behind her...
Looking at Yin Yin squatting on the ground crying with her head in her hands, she looked so lonely and so lovable under the night light. The figure couldn't help but be shaken by this?
After crying for a while, and the mysterious figure standing there for a while, Yin Yin suddenly raised her head...
"I can't cry. I can't cry, or else Jun will be worried again if he finds out." Yinyin quickly calmed down, wiped away her tears, and stood up...
"Who is Ajun?" a voice asked!
"Well!?"
Yinyin was startled by the sudden sound and turned her head immediately...
What she saw was a cold and handsome face that she could never forget. Yes, he was the crown prince Zhou Cheng... When Yin Yin looked at Zhou Cheng, she was surprised at first, and then she realized that Zhou Cheng was looking at her with a sharp gaze? Was it an illusion?
"You, why are you here?"
Yin Yin quickly came back to reality, stood up hurriedly and asked!
"...I heard a sound, so I came to take a look!" Zhou Cheng replied coldly!
"So when did you come here? Why didn't you say hello?"
Yinyin was a little angry, because of course she would be scared by a sudden noise in the middle of the night. She was scared by Zhou Yan during the day and Zhou Cheng at night. Yinyin couldn't help but wonder if these two brothers both like to scare people! ?
"It's been a while!" Zhou Cheng answered honestly!
"A while? ...So, what did you see?"
Yin Yin immediately felt guilty. Actually, Yin Yin was fearless, but she cared most about her reputation. If someone saw her crying, that would be terrible!
"…Why are you crying?"
Zhou Cheng went straight to the point without even thinking about it, because he never liked beating around the bush!
"you you you--"
After hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Yin Yin was so angry that she couldn't speak. She must be angry and humiliated. If there was a crack in the ground, she really wanted to crawl into it!
"how?"
Zhou Cheng was very curious about Yin Yin's behavior!
"No, nothing!"
Yinyin finally endured it, because a little impatience can ruin a big plan, because she still wanted Zhou Cheng's help with something!
"Excuse me, Your Highness, do you know which direction to go to Zhaoren Palace? Yinyin is not very familiar with the terrain of the palace, so I hope Your Highness can give me some advice!"
Although the language was very polite, the tone gave me goosebumps! It was the first time I used such lines and tone, and even I couldn't stand it when I said it...
"Are you lost?"
Zhou Cheng seemed very surprised and stared at Yin Yin closely. Yin Yin knew that she was lost, but she didn't want to say it out loud as she felt embarrassed.
“…It’s Yin Yin!”
Zhou Cheng was speechless and looked at Yin Yin with an expression of disbelief!
"?What's wrong?"
Yin Yin naturally knew that Zhou Cheng was looking at her, and asked somewhat uncomfortably!
"Are you Yin Yin?" Zhou Cheng suddenly asked!
Yin Yin stared at Zhou Cheng curiously, not quite understanding what he meant. Although she was not Yin Yin herself, to outsiders she was now Yin Yin. So why did Zhou Cheng ask this?
"Haven't you been coming and going in the palace frequently since you were a child? You should have known every detail of the palace by now!"
Zhou Cheng's words reminded Yin Yin, she almost forgot...
"I'm ashamed to say that Yinyin injured her head a few days ago, so she has some amnesia and even forgot how to walk!"
Yinyin quickly realized that ever since she appeared in ancient times and attached herself to Zhang Yinyin, her behavior and habits and all aspects were inconsistent with the owner of the body, so she was said to have lost her memory!
"Amnesia?"
Zhou Cheng was shocked! ?
"Yes! So please forgive me, Your Highness, and I hope you can be magnanimous and give me some guidance!" Yin Yin decided not to waste any more time with him!
"Then, have you forgotten what happened between us?" Zhou Cheng was a little unconvinced!
Yinyin looked confused...
"...I know you like to joke, but there's no need to bring up this excuse!" Zhou Cheng's tone cooled down a little!
"I'm not joking!"
Seeing Yin Yin's expression that seemed to be unfamiliar with him and her tone of voice without a trace of lies, and thinking about the scene when they met during the day, Zhou Cheng was stunned...
Because Zhou Cheng didn't say anything, Yin Yin also remained silent...
"…Why did you lose your memory? What happened?" Zhou Cheng asked calmly!
"I'm not sure if I accidentally fell off the wall and hit my head!"
Fortunately, Yin Yin had heard Lei'er talk about the origin of her injury.
"…Is everything okay then?" Zhou Cheng looked concerned!
"Can you still stand here if you have something to do?" Yin Yin asked back!
Zhou Cheng was speechless.
The two fell silent again.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to your bedroom!" Zhou Cheng was the first to speak!
"No, just tell me the direction." Yin Yin declined. "The palace is so big, and it's still a long way from here to your bedroom. If you walk by yourself, you will definitely get lost again!" After saying that, Zhou Cheng took the lead and walked away first!
Looking at Zhou Cheng, Yin Yin had an indescribable feeling, but she still followed him naturally...
I wanted to leave this unfamiliar palace as soon as possible and return to the [Prime Minister's Residence], but I didn't expect to be dragged by the Queen to accompany me everywhere. I had no choice but to stay in the palace for a while. Zhang Ren also specially sent Lei'er to the palace to take care of Yinyin...
As time went by, the Queen also noticed something was wrong with Yinyin, but she also knew that Yinyin had just injured her head, so it was not surprising for her to be a little bit weird, so she didn't get to the bottom of it... Later, Yinyin also found that the Queen was a very kind person... She had doted on Yinyin since she was a child, and had always hoped that Yinyin could marry one of her sons, but it didn't seem to be going that way, so she had to recognize her as her adopted daughter first...
——One day——
Xinxin came to Zhaoren Palace to drink tea.
"Sister Yinyin, tomorrow is the annual hunting competition between our royal family and nobles. Let's go watch it together." Xinxin said excitedly!
"Isn't hunting a game between men? Isn't it a bad idea for us to go?" Although she said this, she really wanted to go because Yinyin always liked this kind of activity! She could also camp and eat game, but due to the ancient rules, she had to not mention it!
"What does it matter? I didn't say we're going like this." Xinxin suddenly said with a sly smile!
Yinyin didn't quite understand what Xinxin meant.
By the time Yinyin understood what Xinxin said, it was already the day of the hunting competition...
Looking at herself in the mirror dressed in men's clothes, Xinxin and Lei'er beside her who were also dressed in men's clothes, and Xinxin's personal maid Xiaolu, Yinyin was a little confused...
"This way it's foolproof ." Xinxin laughed excitedly!
“…So it’s a woman dressed as a man!”
Yinyin did not feel disgusted, but instead agreed with Xinxin's idea!
"Yeah, there are so many people hunting anyway, so it will be easier for us to sneak in!"
"Well, that's right, let's do that without further delay!"
Yin Yin can't wait to watch the so-called hunting competition. Hunting and killing animals is prohibited in the modern world, so there has never been a chance to experience it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and Yin Yin certainly doesn't want to miss it!
