The Tales of a Blessed Daughter

Chapter 115: The Green Snake That Understood Human Nature

Su Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she recognized the inner guard of the imperial residence.

The green snake had already been knocked to the ground by the sword. As it did not have the time to draw his sword, the green snake’s life was not in danger.

The green snake’s eyes were filled with human-like fear as it took a step back.

Looking at the inner guard who was approaching, it turned around decisively, revealing its snow-white belly to show its docility.

Su Yan pulled the inner guard who wanted to kill the green snake and said, “Forget it. Anyway, I’ve disturbed its territory.”

The inner guard obeyed the order and retreated behind Su Yan.

Green snake watched Su Yan walk past it, not daring to move.

Green snake only turned its head when she was far away and hissed in a direction.

A little boy walked out from the direction it was looking at. It was the boy who had helped Su Yan guide the way just now.

The green snake obediently coiled itself around the boy’s arm. The boy touched the cold scales on its body and said, “What an interesting person, right?”

The green snake nodded as if it understood.

The boy looked at the green snake in his hand and said, “Go.”

The green snake slowly crawled to the ground and followed the direction Su Yan was heading in.

Su Yan walked out of the bamboo forest and asked, “Do you know how to get to the Imperial Garden?”

The inner guard shook his head.

She sighed helplessly and could only choose a random direction to walk in.

She had only taken two steps when she met the boy from before again. Su Yan was furious.

She shouted, “You bad child, did you intentionally make me walk in the wrong direction just now?”

She grabbed his arm and the boy did not resist. He just looked at Su Yan’s eyes silently.

Su Yan opened her mouth and felt the weakness of the arm in her hand.

Because he was pulled up, his sleeve fell off his arm. Under his thin clothes, there were all kinds of bruises.

These had completely disappeared from her heart.

She pursed her lips and asked, “These injuries… who hit you?”

The boy did not say anything. Since Su Yan had put him down, he squatted on the ground again with a potato in his hand. He opened his mouth and was about to bite down.

Su Yan quickly stopped him. This was raw, how could he eat it.

The boy suddenly grabbed the potato in his hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

A potato was worth the child using all his strength to snatch it. Su Yan’s eyes had unknowingly become moist. She said, “I’m not snatching it. This is raw, you can’t eat it. How about I help you grill it?”

The boy looked at Su Yan and released his hand doubtfully.

Su Yan was holding the potato and trying to think of a solution when the inner guard behind her had already piled up some dead branches.

He lit it with a lighter and nodded at Su Yan before disappearing again.

Su Yan looked at the bonfire that had already been lit and clicked her tongue. The inner guard was the best.

She buried the potato in the soil and waited for a while. Su Yan pulled the boy and taught him how to cook the food.

There were many dirty things in the palace, and she couldn’t help him much. She could only teach him some small things.

After a while, she used a stick to remove the boiling potatoes, picked up a few large leaves, and put them on the ground. Then she handed them to the boy.

She said, “You can eat now. After you finish eating, you can go back. I’m leaving.”

After saying that, Su Yan walked in one direction. This time, she simply found the correct direction.

Not long after, she saw Zhaoyang and Su Qiao rushing over with a group of people.

Su Yan quickly hid herself and followed behind them.

Zhaoyang and her people went straight to the room where Su Yan had stayed and pushed the door open forcefully. Before they could see what was inside, they could not wait to exclaim, “Sister Su Yan, how can you fool around with a man here?”

Su Qiao also shouted from the side, “Sister, how can you let Guang Pingwang down like this?”

Everyone was standing outside the room, so they could not see what was inside clearly. Their words made them discuss animatedly.

“How did I let His Highness down?”
