Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 198 Climbing the Window at Night

After Ying Tianchen ordered a rabbit lantern from the stall owner, everyone strolled around for a while and then planned to go home.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ying Tianchen invited Yun Xi and his siblings to stay overnight at the palace.

It was not the first time that Yun Xi, Yun Qi and Yun Yan stayed overnight in the palace, so they did not act pretentiously and took Yun Yi, Yun Shuai and Yun Qiao'er to the Southern Palace.

Today is a festival, and the Nanwang Mansion is full of lanterns. The whole palace is brightly lit and full of joy.

It was the first time for the three little ones to visit the palace. They were so fascinated by the magnificent Nan Palace that they could not take their eyes off it.

"This palace is so big and magnificent." Yun Qiaoer exclaimed.

Yun Yi and Yun Shuai also looked around, sizing up the palace with curiosity. Although they pursed their lips and didn't exclaim, they were full of admiration in their hearts.

I deeply felt the gap between the houses outside and the palace.

Ying Tianchen saw their curiosity about the palace, so he said, "It's getting late today. I'll ask the butler to send a servant to take you to the palace tomorrow. There is a back garden with nice scenery."

Yun Yi, Yun Shuai and Yun Qiaoer hurriedly expressed their gratitude, and Hou Zhong, the butler standing by, hurriedly took note of this.

At night, Yun Xi stayed in the side courtyard where she lived before, which was not far from Ying Tianchen's main courtyard. However, it was still some distance away from the guest courtyard where Yun Qi and Yun Yan lived.

After Yun Xi finished washing up, she sent the maid away.

"Mammy, go and have a rest. I don't need to keep watch here."

This Nanny Lin was the same one who served her last time. She knew that Yun Xi didn't like someone guarding her room when she slept, so she didn't plan to stay there either.

But it was impossible to rest, she said, "Miss, I am outside, if you need anything, just call me."

Yun Xi nodded, and waited for her to leave and closed the door before going to bed to rest.

Not long after I lay down, I heard a faint rustling sound outside.

At first I thought it was Nanny Lin who made the noise, but then I thought, the servants in this palace have all been strictly trained, and it is impossible for them to make any noise to disturb their master under normal circumstances, let alone when their master is resting.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi's heart tightened. Could it be that a thief had entered the palace? Or was it that an assassin had sneaked in?

With a thought, the ruby ​​dagger appeared in his hand, and he pricked up his ears to listen vigilantly to the movements around him.

The source of the sound was quickly determined to be coming from the window.

He got out of bed, afraid of making any noise, so he tiptoed to the window without even putting on his shoes and hid against the wall.

At this moment, the window slowly opened and a figure rushed in.

Yun Xi didn't think twice and stabbed the other person with the dagger.

The other person sensed danger, dodged to the side, grabbed Yun Xi's arm, and held her in his arms. He quickly whispered, "It's me, Xi'er."

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Xi, who was struggling, stopped.

He lowered his voice as well, "How did you get here? And climbed through the window?"

Ying Tianchen coughed lightly, "Ahem, well, I want to talk to you about something."

"Can't you go through the front door if you need anything?"

"Mrs. Lin is guarding the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nanny Lin's voice rang out, "Miss, are you calling me, the old slave? What's the matter?"

Nanny Lin vaguely heard the voices outside and asked uncertainly.

Yun Xi hurriedly replied, "No, I was just talking to myself. Ma'am, don't worry about it. Go and have a rest."

Nanny Lin, who was about to enter the house, paused and said, "Okay, if you need anything, just call me."

Seeing that Nanny Lin had no intention of coming in, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Tianchen still kept hugging her, and Yun Xi pushed him awkwardly.

Ying Tianchen was just about to let go when he saw Yun Xi's bare feet in the dim light of the lanterns in the corridor outside the window.

Without saying anything, he directly picked the person up and carried him horizontally, and closed the window.

Yun Xi almost screamed out loud, but thinking of Nanny Lin outside, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

Soon she felt like she was going to fall, and the hands that were covering her mouth changed to tightly hugging Ying Tianchen's neck.

But he said, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."

Ying Tianchen glanced at the pair of glowing white jade feet, his Adam's apple rolled, and he whispered, "Don't let go."
