A weak and evil woman was exiled? The beastly husbands risked their lives to protect her

Chapter 353 Wait for me!

“I’m not hungry.” Jiang Xinli frowned. “Besides, shouldn’t the person having lunch with him be Miss Wanwan from the snake clan?”

"It was His Highness Yunbo who specifically instructed us to do so." The jellyfish lady-in-waiting smiled politely and bowed. "Miss Xinli, this way please. His Highness is already in his bedchamber."

"The bedchamber?" Jiang Xinli was slightly taken aback, sensing that something was amiss.

He just finished bathing and went straight to the bedchamber. Could it be that he's going to do something to me?
However, the thought that he and Lancer both valued chastity above all else made her feel a little relieved.

Fine, I'll go.

who is afraid of who.

"Miss Xinli, shall we go?"

"it is good."

Yunbo's bedroom was quite far from the medicine pool.

Jiang Xinli arrived after walking for quite a while.

It looks very similar to the main hall from the outside, but the interior decoration style is less solemn and more luxurious.

It wasn't quite what Jiang Xinli had imagined:
The interior of the hall is luxurious and spacious.

In addition to the bedroom, there are also a study, a dining area, a rest area, and so on.

I didn't see Yunbo.

The jellyfish-like female official glanced at the tightly closed inner hall and explained, "His Highness Yunbo should be inside with Chairman Heinrich."

After she finished speaking, she gestured for Jiang Xinli to sit down at a low table.

Before long, a line of servants filed in and brought a pile of food.

Garlic scallops, braised sea cucumber in abalone sauce, pan-fried cod fillets, fish maw stewed with shark fin, crispy sea duck, baby lobster sashimi, and cold sesame seaweed salad.
There were more than a dozen dishes, which looked like a lot, but each portion was very small, and they were all served in jade seashell containers.

Jiang Xinli, who hadn't eaten much seafood since leaving ancient Earth, couldn't help but swallow hard.

Moonbeam Silver's culinary skills are superb; however, Dark Star has limited ingredients, with very few other seafood options besides the usual fish, shrimp, and crab.

The silver lid was lifted, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Jiang Xinli suddenly felt hungry.

The jellyfish-like female official bowed and said, "Miss Xinli, His Highness said that he still has to deal with state affairs. If you are hungry, you can eat first and don't have to wait for him."

Jiang Xinli had the same idea, "Okay."

After they finished their delicious meal, Yunbo still hadn't arrived.

Seeing that she was about to leave, a servant quickly followed her. "Miss Xinli, His Highness said that you may wander around."

“I want to go back.” Jiang Xinli frowned. “Besides, didn’t he say that I should finish lunch before leaving? I’ve already finished eating.”

The jellyfish-like female official chuckled, "Miss Xinli, His Highness is right. He wants you to have lunch with him before you leave."

Jiang Xinli: Isn't this just playing word games?
Remembering that Lancer was still waiting outside, she said, "I'll go out and tell Lord Lancer."

“This—” The jellyfish-like female official hesitated, “How about you wait a moment while I go and ask His Highness for instructions?”

"Okay." Jiang Xinli took a deep breath.

The inner hall doors opened, and Jiang Xinli casually raised her eyes, only to see a white-haired old man dressed in a brocade robe.

It was as if there was some kind of barrier; she could see the other person speaking, but she couldn't hear a single sound.

The old man bowed slightly to the mermaid prince seated at the head of the table. "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Yun Bo put down the document, glanced at him with his purple eyes, and said, "Heinrich, you are well-informed, but do you know what an NPC is?"

“NPC?” The old man was slightly taken aback, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. “Your Highness, I have lived for over a thousand years and have never heard of such a term.”

He tentatively inquired, "May I ask where this word originates?"

"You don't need to worry about that." Yun Bo slowly rubbed his thumb and forefinger together. "Go check it out."

"Yes, Your Highness." The old man bowed and withdrew.

The palace gates closed.

Jiang Xinli looked away.

After waiting a while, I received a message from Lancer.

Lancer: Miss Xinli, I have an important mission coming up. I'll come pick you up later.

Lancer: Do not accept escorts from other knights, and do not get too close to His Highness. Wait for me!
Jiang Xinli: Okay.

She got up and walked around the room, but found no useful information.

The jellyfish-like female official returned. "Miss Xinli, His Highness requests that you wait for him in the study." "The study?" Jiang Xinli's eyes lit up instantly. "Alright."

In her opinion, the only useful thing to find in the underwater palace would probably be a study or similar place.

The study in Yunbo Palace is quite large, resembling a small library.

As soon as Jiang Xinli stepped inside, she felt as excited as a mouse entering a rice jar.

However, the next second, she couldn't get excited anymore.

There were many books, densely packed, but they were all written in languages ​​she couldn't understand.

In addition, when trying to use dodder vines to reach the books on higher floors, it was discovered that the dodder vines were completely unusable.

Therefore, supernatural abilities were restricted within Yunbo Palace.

Jiang Xinli frowned.

When I opened the personal terminal, the "Who will put the female master to sleep today group" was completely silent.

Jiang Xinli knew that several beastmen responsible for external reconnaissance had already reached outside the deep-sea territory, so the photon signal was temporarily blocked.

I sent a message to Xuexi.

The other party is having lunch with her arranged marriage partner.

Judging from their tone, they seemed to be having a great time.

The jellyfish-like female official pointed to an exquisitely decorated and ornate chaise lounge next to her:

“Miss Xinli, His Highness said that if you are tired, you can rest for a while over there.”

Jiang Xinli was bored. "How about you take me for a walk around the area?"

"This..." The jellyfish-like female official's eyes darted around nervously. "Without His Highness Yunbo's order, wandering around the palace is strictly forbidden, otherwise—"

"Otherwise what?"

The jellyfish-like female official carefully scanned her surroundings and then made a throat-slitting gesture with her hand.

Jiang Xinli asked curiously, "Do you kill females too?"

The female officer explained in a low voice, "In the deep-sea territory, females who violate rules and break the law are punished the same as males."

Jiang Xinli nodded thoughtfully.

"I'm so bored." She pretended to yawn, covering her mouth with her hand, and casually picked up a book. "How about you read to me?"

The jellyfish-like female official glanced at it, then waved her hand in alarm, "I'm sorry, Miss Xinli, only royalty can understand these books."

Jiang Xinli: “.”

The female official explained, "Prince Yunbo's books are among the most precious items in the Deep Sea Territory. Even as a nobleman, I am not qualified to have the authority or energy to read them."

Jiang Xinli was slightly taken aback. "Energy?"

"Hmm." The female official glanced around. "You can try to see if you can open it."

As Jiang Xinli listened, she reached out to open the book, only to find that it was stuck in place by some force and remained motionless.

She asked, "In the Deep Sea Territory, are there many similar places that require authorization or energy to use?"

“Miss Xinli, there are many.”

"For example?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Xinli, this is all I can tell you."

Jiang Xinli rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

The seahorses that Lancer and his companions rode and the energy swords they used were all formed from energy.

Warships also need energy to operate.

I never imagined that reading a simple book would require energy.

Energy truly is everywhere.
As she pondered, Jiang Xinli's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep on the chaise lounge.

In a daze, I heard light footsteps coming in.

"Your Highness."

"Go back."

"Yes."

It was as if a giant hand had scooped her up.
