Chapter 395 The Socially Horrible Princess and Her Secret Guards 19
*
The sweet fruit wine in the cup was just a little bit away from being drunk by Yun Wu, but she stopped it in time.
"The Prince Jin's Mansion is in charge of all matters related to Hanshan Villa, so they should be very careful about the food."
Rong Jin's eyes darkened. Awu didn't know what Prince Jin looked like, so it was normal for her to believe in Prince Jin's Mansion.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Prince Jin is a man who abides by the rules and behaves properly.
Only Rong Jin knew how vicious he was...
At today's ceremony to worship the gods, he saw Prince Jin from afar, and he could no longer hold back his desire to kill him to avenge his parents' unjust death.
But he couldn't do it yet. He was still a little short of it, just a little bit. As long as he was ready, he would be able to...
"It's important to be on guard against others. Besides, the princess has never drunk alcohol before, so it's better to be cautious."
Rong Jin said softly, Yun Wu thought about it, then obediently put the wine cup back on the table.
"Then I won't drink anymore, lest anything happens. I want to return to the palace as soon as possible. I don't know if Fennel has helped me take care of the flowers I planted in Changle Palace..."
Yun Wu muttered to herself, and then pushed the glass of wine away.
The dinner dishes on the table were all tasted by Rong Jin before being allowed to Yun Wu.
Although the taste is not as good as that made by the chef in the small kitchen of Changle Palace, it is still acceptable. The only difference is that the pig's trotter is not so soft and tasty.
Yun Wu took a slightly larger pig's trotter in one hand and took a few bites. Then she thought of something and looked up at Rong Jin and said:
"Are you hungry, Jin? It's just you and me here. You can have dinner with me. It's fine."
"I am a lowly servant. Unless it is a reward from the princess, I would never dare to pick up the chopsticks."
Rong Jin lowered his eyes and spoke softly, sitting upright beside him without moving.
Seeing this, Yun Wu took another bite of the pig's trotter in her left hand, then used her chopsticks in her right hand to pick up the food and put it into the porcelain bowl in front of Rong Jin.
"Then I'll pick it up for you, and it will be considered as letting you eat it, so it won't be considered as overstepping the boundaries."
"Thank you princess."
Rong Jin said softly, looking at Yun Wu with a half-smile in her eyes, and then she picked up the chopsticks and ate the food Yun Wu picked for her.
While Yun Wu was eating her delicious meal, she was also paying attention to Rong Jin, adding more food for him from time to time.
Everything was going well at first. Yun Wu was still thinking while having dinner that she might as well take a carriage back to the palace before it got too late.
Because Hanshan is very close to the capital, it is convenient to go back.
After dinner, Rong Jin was cleaning the table, and Yun Wu vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She stood up from the couch and wanted to rest on the bed for a while, but as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy.
Yun Wu stood firm and shook her head. Seeing that Rong Jin was busy, she did not say anything.
She lay down on the bed to rest, but although it was clearly a winter night, she felt hot, as if there was a heater burning in the hall.
Rong Jin cleaned up the dinner, poured out the unfinished glass of wine out of the window, and put it back on the table.
"Princess, do you want to return to the palace now or wait until tomorrow..."
Rong Jin turned his head while asking, and saw that Yun Wu, who was originally sitting on the couch playing by herself, had now lay down on the bed.
He suddenly had a bad feeling, put down what he was holding and walked over quickly.
Yun Wu's fair and rosy cheeks were flushed. She was lying on the bed with her eyes slightly closed and her breathing was not steady.
"Awu?"
Rong Jin frowned slightly, and Yun Wu blinked slowly. Her eyes were hazy and not clear. Her cheeks were red, and the corners of her eyes were red.
"A...Jin..."
Yun Wu's voice was soft and tender. She bit her pink lips with her white teeth, and the blush on her face spread to her slender neck.
Rong Jin's eyes were deep, and then he quickly walked to the table and picked up the wine cup to check it.
Under the candlelight, his eyes were fixed on the rim of the wine cup, and he recalled the scene where Yun Wu almost drank the wine by the rim of the cup.
Rong Jin clenched the wine cup tightly, with some anger between his brows, and then put the wine cup heavily back on the table.
He turned around and walked quickly to the bed, taking the moon-white fox fur hanging on the hanger next to it.
"Ajin..."
Yun Wu's voice was weak. Rong Jin helped her sit up from the bed. He wrapped her tightly in the fox fur coat.
Rong Jin's expression was indescribably gloomy. He carefully placed the fox fur hat on Yun Wu's head to cover her entire face.
Then he turned his head and said in a serious tone:
"Baizhu!"
Not long after, a man in black climbed in from the hidden woods outside the window and knelt in the room.
Yun Wu was in a daze at the moment, her vision blocked by the fox fur, and she had no time to see what Rong Jin was doing.
"Put away the wine cup. Someone is plotting something secretly this time. You stay here and see if anyone sneaks around the wing room."
Rong Jin gave the order in a cold voice, and now he even forgot to disguise his voice.
After he finished giving his instructions, he picked up Yun Wu, who was wrapped in fox fur, raised his hand to carefully cover the hat on her head, and then left the room.
Currently, most of the people in Hanshan Villa are from Prince Jin's Mansion, and the matter has not been investigated clearly yet. Rong Jin has to take Yun Wu back to the palace first.
Xiao Che, who was supposed to approach the princess according to the original plan, was now drunk and met Lin Qiuyi at the rockery in the backyard.
Lin Qiuyi deliberately waited here, and indeed waited for Xiao Che who got drunk and rebelled against his father in the original plot and wanted to marry someone else...

The palace was dark and silent at night. Because Yun Wu was not there, the other palace servants in Changle Palace had already been dismissed.
Hui Xiang was the only one in the palace. She was startled when Rong Jin came back holding Yun Wu, who was wrapped tightly.
In the bedroom, Yun Wu was lying on the bed with a flushed face and unusually hot body, as if she had a fever or was sick.
"Why didn't the princess get better after taking the Qingxin Pill?"
Fennel was kneeling beside him with a worried and anxious look on her face.
"Who on earth did this? How could they use such a despicable method on the princess..."
"Prince Jin's Mansion..."
Rong Jin lowered his eyes and said with certainty that even if there was no evidence now, he could already conclude that it was done by Prince Jin's Mansion.
"I guess the King of Jin wants to use this to make it natural for the Crown Prince Xiao Che to marry the princess..."
"It's so true!"
Fennel's eyes widened, apparently she was not expecting this. She immediately stood up and said anxiously:
"I will call the imperial physician over right away and then report to the emperor."
"No."
Rong Jin said directly, he lowered his eyes and stretched out his hand to place the back of his cold hand on Yun Wu's red cheek.
Yun Wu reached out and grabbed Rong Jin's hand, with red eyes, and refused to let him take his hand back.
“Today is their plan. If we go to the imperial physician and the emperor, there’s no guarantee that the news of the princess’s Chinese medicine won’t spread out.
We have no evidence now. If they find someone to give false testimony and spread rumors that the princess is staying with Xiao Che in Hanshan Villa..."
