Xiao Jinyan spoke as he grabbed her wrist, an instinctive reaction when facing danger. A flash of silver zipped through the air, and he guessed that she held a silver needle in her hand. If he had been slower, who knows which acupoint he might have gotten pricked in.
This was also the first time he realized that Shen Chuwei's vigilance and ability to counterattack were far from weak.
Shen Chuwei was startled upon hearing Xiao Jinyan's voice. Who would have thought that Xiao Jinyan would break into the Imperial Palace at night?
She put away the silver needle in her hand, "Jinyan, how did you get here?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "I was worried and came to check on you."
Shen Chuwei was somewhat concerned, "Didn't I say that I'm very safe right now? This is the Imperial Palace; what if you get discovered?"
Xiao Jinyan hadn't thought about these issues when he came; seeing that she was truly safe, he felt somewhat relieved.
"How did you end up in the Imperial Palace?"
