Chapter 387 The Socially Horrible Princess and Her Secret Guards 11
*
"I... when I passed by the door of the wing room, you suddenly opened the door and pulled me in..."
Lin Qiuyi spoke hesitantly, and then looked away guiltily.
Xiao Che thought she was very embarrassed because he had acted frivolously by dragging her into this.
"I'm sorry, but I vaguely remember that nothing happened..."
Xiao Che said this with an apologetic look in his eyes. He was not conscious at the time and just remembered grabbing someone's wrist, which was very thin.
Then he seemed to be strangled and had no idea what was happening, but he certainly didn't do anything to hurt the girl in front of him.
"I am Xiao Che, the prince of the Jin Palace. Thank you for saving me, young lady."
"You don't have to be so polite, Master Xiao. I am Lin Qiuyi, the second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion."
Lin Qiuyi said with a slightly red cheek, feeling a little embarrassed to look at Xiao Che.
But Xiao Che remembered that there was drug in the wine he drank, but now the effect of the drug has worn off and his body has returned to normal.
But Lin Qiuyi has been concerned about his health and has never mentioned how to save him. Maybe he is overthinking it. Maybe the girl just doesn't want to elaborate...
Lin Qiuyi gave Xiao Che an idea according to the plot. She asked her maid to cover for them while they both went out one after another to avoid being seen coming out of the same room by others.
Lin Qiuyi was still dreaming of becoming the Crown Prince's consort soon, because Xiao Che had specially thanked her.
There were fewer people at the Zhushui dinner at Prince Ru'an's mansion in the evening, and Xiao Che was not there either. Perhaps he had gone to investigate the drugging incident today.
Lin Qiuyi knew that in the original plot, the Lin family had done a clean job and found a scapegoat, so they didn't notice it.
But she really wanted Xiao Che to find out that it was Madam Lin and her elder sister who did it, but there was no way. She still needed the title and identity of Miss Lin, otherwise it would be difficult for her to marry into Prince Jin's Mansion.
Most people at the dinner were sitting in groups. Lin Qiuyi quietly looked up at the princess opposite her.
She has three or five young ladies from aristocratic families around her, and she seems to be the center of attention...
Lin Qiuyi thought again of the fact that he had claimed credit for today's work, and quickly lowered his head guiltily.
Yun Wu was very happy at the Zhushui dinner and enjoyed the meal very much?
She ate three pig's trotters in total, and Rong Jin had to remind her, otherwise she would have eaten too much and felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
It was already completely dark when Yun Wu returned to Changle Palace. After eating and drinking, she was too lazy to move.
After helping Yun Wu wash up, Hui Xiang left. Rong Jin helped her take off her pearl hairpins and take a bath and change clothes.
Yun Wu's face reflected in the bronze mirror was white and clean. She had just finished bathing and was wearing a newly made lotus pink pajamas.
Rong Jin stood behind Yun Wu and combed her thick long hair.
"Awu is out of the palace for the first time today, and she seems to be in a good mood."
"Well, the pig's trotters at Ru'an Palace are really delicious."
Yun Wu rubbed her eyes sleepily and said, Rong Jin behind her laughed softly, and his narrow and beautiful eyes looked straight at Yun Wu through the bronze mirror.
He lowered his eyes, slowed down the movement of combing her hair, and then asked tentatively:
"Awu, you have met so many young men from aristocratic families in the capital today. Have you seen anyone you like?"
"This... I only remember Prince Xiao and the two sons of General Lu's family..."
Yun Wu said thoughtfully, Rong Jin tightened his grip on the wooden comb a little, and then heard her continue:
"But I haven't found anyone I like yet. If I did, would I have to marry that person?"
"Yes, but Awu doesn't need to rush into marriage yet..."
Rong Jin continued to comb her long hair, seeming to be relieved.
Her hair was combed in a short while, and Yun Wu lay down in the soft bedding, where a hot water bottle had been placed early to warm the bed.
She pulled Rong Jin's sleeve, blinked her beautiful eyes, and waved her hand in a coquettish manner.
"Sister Jin, can you stay with me tonight?"
She now calls him Sister Ajin in private, and he also calls her Awu.
Yun Wu also moved the bedding into the bed, making half the space for Rong Jin.
"It's cold today and you won't feel comfortable sleeping on the floor. It's okay. Just get on the bed. I don't dislike you at all."
Rong Jin's eyes were deep. This was the first time Yun Wu said this. It seemed that the relationship between him and her had become closer.
How could Rong Jin refuse such a good opportunity?
He quickly lay on his side on the bed, but he had not yet washed off the light makeup on his face, nor had he changed out of his slightly thick inner clothes.
"I'll stay with you until you fall asleep. After you fall asleep, I'll go back to wash up and come back."
Rong Jin said softly that Yun Wu had been out of the palace today and was feeling a little sleepy now. She nodded and lay down in the quilt, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
She felt that Ajin really loved beauty and put on makeup every day, so shouldn't she also be more diligent...
I don’t know how much time has passed, but Rong Jin is still by Yun Wu’s side.
Suddenly, he heard some noise and someone knocked twice on the beam.

The lights in the side hall separated from Yun Wu's bedroom by a secret door were dim.
Bai Shu, dressed in black, was kneeling on the ground. He had just reported what they had investigated in the past few days.
Rong Jin, who was standing in front of Bai Zhu, had already changed into his pajamas. The loose green clothes made his figure look cooler.
The makeup on his face was washed off, his black hair was casually scattered, and his handsome eyes revealed some obscure emotions.
"So... it's the King of Jin..."
Rong Jin's voice was deep, hiding a hint of joy at having discovered the truth.
He raised his bony hand close to half of his face and took a deep breath.
Bai Zhu stood up from the ground, raised his hands and clasped his fists and said:
"We have already traced some clues, but the evidence is still insufficient. I will wait for my subordinates to investigate further. I believe that it won't be long before the young master can avenge the general."
Their young master Rong Jin's original surname was Si, and he was the son of the late General Si.
Everyone thought that all the members of the Si family were dead, but in fact, only the young master and their private guards were left.
Rong Jin disguised himself as a woman and kept a low profile in order to secretly find out the truth of what happened and find the murderer who killed his father.
Now, I finally found it with the little clues I got back then...
"Ajin..."
Suddenly, a familiar soft voice sounded, and Rong Jin and Bai Shu were both stunned.
The two turned their heads and saw Yun Wu walking in from the secret guards, swaying with a soft pillow in her arms.
Her eyes were still narrowed, and she looked very sleepy, holding a soft pillow embroidered with gold thread in her arms.
Rong Jin stepped forward to block Yun Wu's sight, and Bai Shu quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Fortunately, the environment was dark and Yun Wu had not woken up yet, so she did not see Bai Zhu's existence just now.
She didn't notice Rong Jin's face after she washed off her makeup. In the dim light, she smelled the familiar cold fragrance on Rong Jin's body.
"It's late, it's time to go back and rest."
Rong Jin said, and then helped Yun Wu pass through the secret guards and return to her bedroom.
After lying beside Yun Wu and soothing her to sleep again, Rong Jin gently leaned over and kissed her.
So soft and sweet, it would be nice if I could kiss her for the rest of my life...
He was looking forward to seeing how Yun Wu would react when she found out he was a man.
