Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

I don't know if Xie Ling heard Li Zhong's thoughts. He suddenly stopped and turned around to say:

"You can wait beside the carriage. You don't have to follow."

"what?"

Li Zhong raised his head, and a slightly dazed look appeared on his chubby, round face.

Xie Ling's dark eyes narrowed slightly, Li Zhong shuddered all over, and quickly raised his chin and said:

"Yes, son."

Li Zhong happily retreated back to the carriage. Yun Wu turned her head to take a look, then said softly with some confusion:

"Why didn't you let Li Zhong follow?"

Yun Wu's attention was attracted by the stall selling candied haws nearby.

She had lived a hard life in the past, and her parents always took care of her younger brother, so she had never eaten anything like this.

Xie Ling casually took out some silver money, bought two candied haws and handed them to Yun Wu.

He glanced at Li Zhong who was waiting beside the carriage not far away and said:

"He's old and has difficulty walking, so it's better not to follow him."

"So that's how it is. Young Master really cares about Eunuch Li Zhong..."

Yun Wu said in a daze, her almond-shaped eyes looking at the two candied haws stuffed into her hands in a daze.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? But you don't like sweet food?"

Xie Ling pretended to be confused, and sure enough, he saw Yun Wu shaking her head like a rattle.

"No, no, my Lord - I love sweets the most..."

But in the past, her parents always bought it only for her younger brother and never for her.

Yun Wu held the two strings of candied haws in her hands. She didn't expect that the person who gave her the candied haws was not her relative, but the emperor she served.

Li Zhong, who was watching the two of them from afar, couldn't help but bite his handkerchief.

Back then, he was the only eunuch beside His Majesty, and he followed him wherever he went. Now, for the sake of His Majesty's happiness, he has to reluctantly leave. Sigh...

Xie Ling and Yun Wu were walking in the street market. Because she was still thinking about the difference between the emperor and his subjects, Yun Wu just ate the candied haws in small bites.

"There are many businessmen here. Logically, the people should have enough food and clothing and live a comfortable life, but most of the people we see now don't dress like that..."

Yun Wu paused and said, among the people coming and going, very few can wear good clothes, and their daily spending system can be seen from their clothes.

"Xuanzhou City is definitely not as prosperous as it appears."

Xie Ling spoke concisely and didn't seem surprised by what he saw. He must have sensed something was wrong and came here incognito.

Just as the two of them were passing by an embroidery workshop, a woman came out from the door carrying clothes.

As soon as she saw their faces and clothes, her eyes lit up and she came towards them with a smile on her face.

"It seems that you two are here to visit Xuanzhou City. Would you like to buy some nice clothes to take back? This is the largest embroidery workshop in this area."

Yun Wu was about to say no, but she saw the embroiderer looking at Xie Ling with a smile on her face and said:

"Sir, why don't you go into the store and pick out some new clothes for your lady?"

"lady?"

Yun Wu was stunned. She seemed a little nervous, but she suppressed her nervousness and said calmly:

"No, no, no, you're wrong, I'm a man..."

"She is tall and slender, with a waist that is not as strong as a man's, and a flat neck..."

The embroiderer walked around Yun Wu and then said suspiciously:

"From my years of sewing women's clothes, I can see that she is a woman. And since you two are walking together in the streets, you must be a couple."

Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across Yun Wu's eyes, and she subconsciously looked at Xie Ling.

Xie Ling's cold expression remained unchanged, but his hand holding the folding fan tightened slightly, and his eyes were dark and deep, and it seemed impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"I, I am really a man, but my family was poor when I was a child, so I was a little thin."

Yun Wu's voice lowered a bit and sounded more like a man's. She patted her flat chest after wrapping it with a chest binder and said:

"Besides, he and I are good friends, not a couple. You've made a mistake."

"Am I really dazzled by this..."

The old woman was muttering, and Yun Wu was afraid that she would say something if she stared at her for too long, so she quickly grabbed Xie Ling's wrist and walked forward quickly.

"Hey! Gentlemen, don't leave yet! Come in and take a look at the clothes!"

The embroiderer behind them shouted, and Yun Wu had no choice but to pull Xie Ling and quicken their pace to continue walking forward.

They didn't stop until they reached the riverside where there were few people.

"Just now, the embroiderer seemed to want to force us in, so I took the young master away on my own initiative..."

Yun Wu said this, and as soon as she turned around, her eyes met Xie Ling's. His dark eyes were scorching, but Yun Wu always felt that there was something indescribable.

She suddenly seemed to realize something and looked down blankly. It turned out that she was so anxious just now that she actually held Xie Ling's hand and walked all the way.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Yun Wu quickly let go of the hand that was holding Xie Ling's wrist, looking a little panicked.

She thought that as long as His Majesty didn't realize that she was indeed a woman, she would be fine, but she ignored the fact that she had just committed an insubordination.

Yun Wu bowed and wanted to kneel down to apologize, but was suddenly helped up by Xie Ling.

"I didn't say I was going to blame you, get up."

Xie Ling's voice was as cold as ever, but Yun Wu seemed to hear a hint of smile at the end of his voice, but it also seemed as if she had heard it wrongly.

Yun Wu stood up carefully and said hesitantly:

"Because, because I am a man but was born like a woman, some people would mock me. That's why I... don't like to listen to that woman..."

"Well, I didn't take that person's words to heart. If anyone bullies me in the future, I will take care of it for you."

Xie Ling said that he certainly took the man's words to heart, it was just the words "Madam" and "couple".

When she returned to the inn and lay on the bed to rest at night, Yun Wu was still thinking about disguising herself as a man.

After all, truth will eventually come to light. Although Yun Wu didn't know why she escaped the identity check before the palace examination, she might be discovered as a woman disguised as a man in the future.

Yun Wu felt a little sleepy as she was thinking. When she was drowsy and wrapped in the quilt, she suddenly heard some noise.

The strange rustling sound reminded Yun Wu of the rumor about ghosts nearby that Fu Chuannan had mentioned today.

She quickly stood up and lifted the curtain, and saw a figure flash past the window, but it seemed that she was seeing things.

Yun Wu was a little panicked for a moment, and got off the bed with a staggering movement. She didn't see clearly and bumped into the table.

There seemed to be no one outside the window, but Yun Wu still felt a chill in her heart.

Just at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door twice. Just when Yun Wu was scared, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside.

"It's me."

Yun Wu carefully opened the door a little, and after confirming that the person outside was Xie Ling, she opened the door a little.

Xie Ling was also wearing pajamas with a long robe on the outside, and it seemed that he had just come out of the guest room.

The moment she saw Xie Ling, Yun Wu seemed to have found some support. If she were alone, she would definitely be frightened by what happened tonight.

Xie Ling narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and said casually:

"I heard the noise from your side, so I came to see what happened?"
