Ying Si greeted Shangguan in a nonchalant manner, “Shangguan girl, what brings you here?”
Ning Shu turned around and saw the woman opposite him. She stood beside the young man, and he was taken aback. He called out, “Miss Shangguan, is there something the matter?”
When Shangguan Yun’er saw Ying Si’s attitude towards her was completely different from his attitude towards the young man, a smile that had been in his eyes disappeared when he saw her. Moreover, she could sense that Ying Si didn’t like her at all.
The other palace guards, when faced with her, were all respectful. Only the two in front of her were different.
As soon as she thought of this, Shangguan Yun’er felt very uncomfortable. She held the snacks in her hand and walked over, softly saying: “I made some food. I hope you won’t mind that they are rough, these days I have been taking care of you.”
Ning Shu didn’t find the heroine’s behavior strange at all. In his opinion, Shangguan Yun’er was clearly infatuated with Bai Li Mo, and she had begun to act as if she were the mistress of the manor soon after entering the palace.
He just remembered that it wasn’t an illusion, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
“Miss Yun’er, you are too kind. I was merely doing my duty.”
Ying Si glanced at the pastries, a sly grin spreading across his face. “Miss Yun’er,” he said, “it would be better to give these to the Prince to try rather than us lowly subordinates.”
Shangguan Yun’er’s cheeks flushed slightly, making her even more charming and alluring. She bit her lip and said, “The prince is still in the study. Yun’er doesn’t dare to disturb him. I’ll send it over later.”
Once she had finished speaking, her two glistening eyes, filled with a pitiful charm, looked over. She forced a cheerful smile and said: “Yun’er knows that she comes from a humble background. To be favored by the prince is already something she couldn’t dare to hope for… But ever since I entered the manor, I have always been taken care of by all of you. I feel somewhat guilty in my heart, so I made some food….”
“If you find it objectionable… then forget about it…”
Ying siame’s smile faded: “Lady Yun, you shouldn’t say such things. We don’t dare take credit for it. It’s not that we are afraid. If the prince found out, he would punish us….”
Shangguan Yun’er hurriedly said, “It’s just some snacks. If the prince knew, he wouldn’t blame you…”
She looked pitifully at the young man, her eyes red and she said, “Could it be that, sir, you still mind what happened that day? Yun’er has already explained to the King, it wasn’t your fault….”
Ning Shu sighed inwardly and took the pastry from the woman’s hand, saying, “Thank you, Miss Shangguan.”
He didn’t know what the other party was up to, but their persistence was unsettling. He couldn’t fight them, so could he just keep running away?
The boy thought to himself silently.
But then, a shadow figure covered her hand with one of their own, their eyes curving into a smile as they said, “In a little while, Miss Shangguan, why don’t you join us for a taste?”
Shangguan Yun’er softly said, “This is for the young masters, how embarrassing.”
“It’s better to have fun with others than alone. Miss Shangguan, you don’t have to be so polite.” Shadow said.
Shangguan Yun’er nodded and softly said, “Then Yun’er won’t refuse.”
Ning Shu felt a little puzzled, and couldn’t help but glance at the young man.
Ying Si cast her gaze upon him, lowered her head, and whispered softly, “This woman seems rather extraordinary. I fear she may have placed something in the pastries. That wouldn’t be good.”
Ning Shu was a little surprised. She hadn’t expected people in ancient times to be so meticulous and thoughtful.
I feel great admiration.
Three people ate the pastries together. Shangguan Yun’er held a handkerchief, her movements imitating those of wealthy young ladies. She tried to imitate them but ended up looking like something else entirely. She didn’t notice though, and nibbled on the pastry delicately.
Ning Shu ate two, and she didn’t have much of an appetite anymore. The taste of this pastry was indeed ordinary, far inferior to what the palace kitchens made.
Shangguan Yun’er seemed to see through his thoughts, her eyes reddened again, and she bit her lip and said: “Is it Yun’er? Did I make it unpalatable? Why did the master eat one or two pieces, and then….”
Ning Shu was helpless and had to reach out again.
Yet unexpectedly, upon touching the woman’s finger, she seemed startled and quickly withdrew her hand.
“Please take it first, young master.”
Ning Shu glanced at the pastry and shook her head: “You should have it first, Miss Shangguan.”
They politely declined each other’s offers.
Shangguan Yun’er picked up the pastry.
After finishing the pastries, the woman looked at the young man and softly said, “I have something I want to say to you, sir. Would you be willing to walk with me while we talk?”
Ning Shu was taken aback, remembering what had happened last time, a hint of caution arose in his heart.
Shangguan Yun’er quickly added, “It’s Liu Qianjin. I saw her last time I left the house. She asked me to bring a few words to you.” After finishing, she hesitated and glanced at Ying Si: “Liu Qianjin said that these words are best not to be heard by outsiders…”
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment.
In fact, in this world, seeing a traveler didn’t evoke much feeling in him. He was different from them; he was on a mission. Less contact was better, but Ning Shu couldn’t help but think of that day when the young girl was completely unsuspecting, her eyes shining like she had found an oasis in the desert.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Ning Shu still decided to listen first to what Liu Qianjin wanted to say to her.
So, he nodded.
Shadow winked at the boy, giving him a reassuring look. He signaled that everything was fine, and with him around, the other party wouldn’t dare to play any tricks.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but smile.
My heart warmed even more.
He initially had an ordinary relationship with Shadow Four, but after getting to know him, he truly believes that Shadow Four is a good person.
Although there is something to say.
But when Ning Shu walked together with the female lead, he still deliberately kept some distance.
A flash of jealousy crossed Shangguan Yun’er’s eyes: “Ying Qi, I heard that you stay at the prince’s residence day and night. Is that true?”
Speaking of which, the young man couldn’t help but blush as he remembered what Bai Li Mo had done to him.
She pursed her lips and denied, “As the prince’s personal guard, it is natural for me to be responsible for his safety.”
However, in Shangguan Yun’er’s eyes, this was blatant showing off. She felt both angry and resentful; she had suffered so much outside, having seen all kinds of situations. From the first time they met, she knew that the Prince cared about this shadow guard.
Shangguan Yun’er had never imagined she would receive the Prince’s favor. So, she secretly vowed to become the mistress of this royal residence.
As for others, they are all obstacles.
He is just a man, unable to bear children.
The prince must marry a princess, and she is the best candidate.
The more Shangguan Yun’er thought about it, the more determined she became to get rid of this unnecessary obstacle: “The prince also told me that you are a loyal subordinate. He also said that he hopes you will stay in the palace for life, and in the future, when there is a little prince, he hopes that you will continue to be loyal….”
A hint of shyness appeared on the woman’s face as she continued, “My lord, it seems you value him quite highly….”
Ning Shu was taken aback.
Some fell silent.
Little prince? <<<
Ning Shu thought, by the time Bai Li Mo had a child, if he was ambitious enough, he might have already completed his mission and left.
Just thinking, in the future, there will be a child who looks very similar to Bai Limu, and I feel a little strange.
Ning Shu lowered her head and thought, if Bai Li Mo became her father, he shouldn’t let her be treated as cruelly as she was when she was a child.
Although Bai Li Mo is unpredictable and a bit twisted.
But he should have been a good father, in the original ending. Bai Li Mo had been waiting for Shangguan Yun’er since childhood, to be together for life.
Ning Shu nodded thoughtfully, her mind a little distant, and said: “My life belongs to the Prince’s Manor.”
Shangguan Yun’er saw that the young man acted with composure, while she herself was starting to feel a little restless.
While feeling resentful, I also felt a bit embarrassed.
But,
Shangguan Yun’er knew what was going to happen next, and her heart began to race.
Ning Shu only felt a little strange.
Shangguan Yun’er kept talking about Bai Li Mo, her words laced with a touch of shyness that belonged to a young woman. There was also an air of self-satisfaction about her.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but interrupt her, “Miss Shangguan, what did Liu Qianjin bring me?”
The woman’s face twitched slightly.
“That day, Liu Qianjin…” She frowned slightly and suddenly bent down.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but frown: “Miss Shangguan?”
He was just about to investigate.
The woman mumbled to herself, “Hot, so hot….” She looked over with a flushed face, “Sir, could you please help Yun’er back to the room? I don’t feel well…. It’s so uncomfortable….”
Ning Shu had already been through a dangerous experience once, so she was naturally cautious. Now seeing Shangguan Yun’er’s actions, her heart skipped a beat.
He stared at the woman’s eyes with a hint of confusion, which gradually became alluring, tinged with a subtle hint of coquettishness.
Even if Ning Shu hasn’t eaten pork, she has at least seen pigs run.
He immediately guessed that the female lead must have been drugged with love potion.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but frown, recalling everything that had just happened in his mind, wondering where something went wrong. He looked at the woman in front of him, wanting to reach out, but took a step back and said firmly, “Miss Shangguan, please wait here for a moment, I will call the doctor over.”
Shangguan Yun’er bit her lip, clutching him tightly: “I feel so terrible, are you just going to abandon me? If something happens to me, can you bear the responsibility?”
Ning Shu still wanted to say something, but then a commanding voice boomed over: “What are you doing?”
While Shangguan Yun’er lifted her face, tears trembling in her eyes: “Your Highness…”
She seemed frightened, she rushed into the man’s arms: “My lord, I feel a little unwell…”
Bai Li Mo frowned, pulled the person away, and cast a gloomy look at the young man, saying: “You are with Ying Qi, a lone man and woman. What are you doing here?”
Sheng Guan Yun’er’s eyes were red as she said, “Your Highness, Yun’er doesn’t know either. Yun’er originally wanted to ask Ying Qi about some things regarding your Highness…”
“…but I don’t know why my body started feeling a little hot…”
