Chapter 15: Is this what a "sickly sweet" person should do?

As the time approached the last hour of the night (around 9-11pm), there was silence both upstairs and downstairs in the Yan Prince's Residence.

In the study room, Xiao Jin closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf, taking a deep breath. Despite the headache caused by the traditional characters and classical Chinese, she persevered and read a few books.

The books covered the histories of the four major countries in the world of the books, as well as the histories of various smaller countries. For the parts that she couldn't understand, she marked them with cinnabar and looked for other relevant books. If she still couldn't understand, she didn't expect to fully comprehend it, just reading it superficially without seeking a deep understanding.

After all, she only wanted to understand the history and culture of the two countries of Qi and Yao.

Xiao Jin recalled the history of the "Chaos of the National Teacher" in the Yao country. Despite thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out the internal logic behind the various actions of this person. After all, the national teacher at that time had a position of power and almost had everything he could ask for. However, in the later period, he went crazy, constructing the "Liu Li City" and sending a large number of troops to attack the small countries on the border.

As a result, when the original owner of the Yao country attacked the main city of Yao, there were only just over 20,000 elite soldiers left in the city, with no resistance.

She couldn't help but shake her head, feeling that the mastermind behind the destruction of Yao was not the original owner, but the national teacher of Yao.

As Xiao Jin was pondering, a small maid walked into the study room and respectfully saluted her, "Your Highness, Old Zhang, the steward, sent me to pass on the message that the Princess is waiting in her room."

After the reminder from the maid, Xiao Jin was slightly stunned, only then remembering that she had to discuss important matters with the female lead. However, looking at the maid's expression, she didn't know whether it was because of the warmth of the candlelight or because the young girl was too beautiful.

She couldn't help but feel that the maid's face was blushing and seemed like it was about to catch on fire.

But Xiao Jin was tired of reading and didn't care about these details, just nodding and saying, "Let's go back to the room."

As they crossed the corridor, the wheels of the wheelchair rolled over the bamboo leaves on the stone pavement.

The sound was crisp, like crumpled colored paper scattered all over the ground.

The maid pushed the bamboo wheelchair, and the lanterns of the Yan Mansion went out one by one.

When they reached the door of the room, Xiao Jin noticed keenly that the guards on both sides of the main courtyard were missing.

She furrowed her brows slightly, not understanding what was going on. So she turned her head and asked the maid beside her, "Where are the guards in the courtyard?"

Although with Chu Shao's martial arts, even if there were dozens of Yan Mansion guards standing here, the crazy guy could still kill them like cutting wheat.

But it was better than having no guards at all, at least there was some hope.

Although the young maid was still young, she knew a little bit about things.

She looked at Xiao Jin and explained in a low voice with a blushing face, "In response to your highness's instructions, this was arranged by Old Zhang, who said... that the guards should not disturb your highness's interest."
