Chapter 134 Don’t be afraid of me
When leaving the underground palace, Wen Wan received the first mission from Queen Mobei.
The queen's cousin is responsible for the internal affairs of the royal court. He was imprisoned for corruption a few days ago, and the young prince is responsible for reviewing the case.
The king went to the young prince earlier to inquire about the progress of this matter.
The queen's request was simple, let Wen Wan find an opportunity to enter the young prince's study and destroy the evidence of her cousin's crime.
On the way back, Wen Wan was confused.
Does the queen know that the incriminating evidence is in the young prince's study?
Are there any of the queen's people in the little prince's yard?
The young prince's study is usually guarded by special personnel. Even the cleaning is done by his personal bodyguards, and no one else is allowed to approach.
When Wen Wan first arrived, she pretended to pass by casually several times, but guards immediately appeared to stop her.
The queen gave her a hellishly difficult task as soon as she arrived, asking her to surrender her name certificate?
If she did well, she would be used by the queen, but if she didn't, the queen would directly kill her in the name of King Mobei, squeezing out the last value of her chess piece in sowing dissension.
"Once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea. Sure enough, the struggle in the royal family is the most terrifying."
She sighed dejectedly, raised her foot and kicked away a pebble in front of her.
Before he could reach the entrance of the courtyard, he saw the little prince hurriedly approaching with a group of guards.
They were very powerful, with their hands on the handles of their swords, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
But what kind of battle can there be in the royal court?
It’s not like I want to rebel.
When Wen Wan thought of this, her expression froze, "Uh... you didn't bring someone to save me, did you?"
Is he preparing to fight the queen with real swords and guns in order to save her as a substitute?
While he was talking, Wen En had already strode to her and pulled her into his arms without any explanation.
As they got closer to each other, Wen Wan could clearly feel that he was trembling.
The fear written in his eyes didn't look like fakery.
Winn's already hoarse voice became deeper and deeper, "Sister, sister, I'm afraid..."
"???" Wen Wan was stunned, "You have so many subordinates, what are you afraid of?"
She pushed him secretly, trying to push him away, but he noticed the small movement and held her wrist directly.
He was scared and aggrieved, with a coquettish tone of voice.
"Sister, I'm so afraid of losing you."
Wen Wan coughed awkwardly and said nothing.
Win En choked and said: "Sister, as soon as I came back, I heard that the old witch took you away. Did she hurt you?"
"Don't worry, since Yu Tinglu became disabled, this old witch has nothing to fear. If she dares to lay a finger on you, I will skin her!"
"Uh..." Wen Wan pursed her lips, "No, I'm fine."
For the past few days, he had been obedient and gentle in front of her, but when he suddenly said such cruel words, she still couldn't react.
By the way, he is the little prince of Mobei. Even if he acts like a little sheep, he is still a ferocious beast in his heart.
A chill ran down her spine, fearing that she was always unconsciously confused by his appearance and forgot this fact.
Winn raised her hand and checked her body up and down. He was relieved when he saw that she really didn't seem to be injured.
"As long as it's okay."
He then turned around and ordered the guards to disperse.
Soon, they were the only two people left on the trail.
Wen Wan frowned slightly and struggled to retract her hand.
Winn's palms were empty and he lowered his eyes in disappointment.
Wen Wan walked in front, and Wen En walked behind. Neither of the two people spoke again.

In the evening, Wen En asked the kitchen to prepare Wen Wan's favorite roasted pig's trotters.
He used a knife to kick off the bones for her and put the meat into her bowl, but she didn't even move her chopsticks.
Winn asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"
Wenwan remained silent. Winn thought for a while, then his face darkened, "What on earth did that old witch do to you? Don't be afraid, tell me."
He had never dared to ask, and now he couldn't help it anymore before he spoke.
Wen Wan thought for a moment and said the words she had prepared long ago.
"She said... the king is very dissatisfied with how you take care of me. He told me to recognize my humble status and serve you well in the future, otherwise... the king will... skin me."
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and she complained in a low voice, "Why do you people from Mobei Royal Court always like to skin people..."
Therefore, after she heard him say that he wanted to skin the queen, she remained silent.
Because the word "skinned" reminded her of the intimidation she received?
"Sister..." Wen En stood up and came to her side, squatting down in front of her knees and looking up at her.
"Sister, I'm just scaring people. If you don't like it, I'll never say that again. Don't be afraid of me, okay?"
He rubbed his cheek against her hand, looking like a good dog to please her.
This humble and begging gesture made Wen Wan feel a pain in her heart.

For some reason, at this moment, she actually saw the shadow of Wen En in the little prince.
Wen Wan: "Uh..."
She really couldn't tell Wen En's shadow that she wasn't afraid against her will.
Win En whispered: "I will order the royal court to abolish the torture of skinning, okay?"
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
In any case, if there is an opportunity to abolish such a torture, it is always a good thing to do.
Winn smiled, stood up and sat next to her, "Then you can eat now."
Only then did Wen Wan pick up the chopsticks.
After eating, Wen Wan walked out of the yard and found that there were far fewer people waiting in the yard than in the morning.
"Where are the others in the yard?"
Winn replied quietly, "They've all been replaced."
The light words seemed not worth mentioning to him.
Wenwan asked: "Why?"
Wen En said nonchalantly: "In this courtyard, people are taking you away. They are not taking good care of you. I won't worry until you change the group."
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "What will you do with them?"
Winn looked unmoved, "It's just a change of place."
Wen Wan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

As night fell, Wen Wan finished telling the story and fell asleep first without coaxing Wen En to sleep.
Winn covered her with a quilt, turned off the oil lamp, and then opened the door and went out.
The servant carrying the lantern walked in front to lead the way, and he walked all the way to the King's Court Prison.
Before he even got close, he heard hysterical screams.
Winn's expression did not change at all. As he walked through the passage, he saw a row of servants tied to racks. One of them had no skin on his face, exposing his bloody flesh.
"In my yard, you can't serve me well. How can you have the dignity to live?"
Winn lifted his robe and sat not far away.
Several executioners were playing with knives, and a hideous piece of dough was thrown into a wooden barrel nearby.
The cell leader picked up the knife and walked towards the man on the other shelf.
Just as he was about to take action, Winn thought of something and softly shouted, "Wait."
The prison head turned back in confusion.
Win En sighed, "I promised my sister not to skin people..."
