C211 A strange night

On the other hand, Yue Wuxuan enjoyed her dinner happily. The three new wives were moved by Madam Jia's warm hospitality and temporarily forgot about their worries.

Only Zhou Zhen did not look happy at all. She did not look sad at all. She was very polite to her, making her look at him in a new light. A young girl from a county magistrate's family actually had such a quiet bearing. It seemed that the upbringing of her family was very good.

After leaving the Moon Parasol Pavilion and passing through the Xiaoyao's garden, the cold autumn night wind blew past. Zhou Zhen looked back into the wooden house and suddenly called out, "Cat!" There's only one cat! "

"What cat?" Wu Yu and Cheng Ying turned their heads to look, but all they saw was the darkness in the open cabin. The faint smell of herbs wafted over, but nothing happened.

"You're seeing things."

Zhou Zhen puzzledly asked Little Chan, "Did you see that?"

Little Chan's face was pale as she shook her head.

"My eyes must be playing tricks on me …" "How come there's someone in front of Yu Lan Xuan?"

Wu Yu was originally a coward, being scared by Zhou Zhen over and over again. His eyebrows twitched, and he almost cursed out loud.

But Cheng Ying Zhi trembled, and said with a trembling voice, "Really …" "There's really someone. It's a woman."

"Let's go take a look."

Both Yu Run Xuan and Yu Mu Xuan had to pass through the entrance of Yu Lan Xuan's courtyard. Zhou Zhen was quite bold, walking calmly at the front. Only when they got closer could they see that it was Jin Shu by the wind lamp outside the entrance.

"Don't be afraid, it's Jin Shu."

It's that damned girl again! When Cheng Ying thought of how she was scared by Jin Shu during the day, she suddenly became angry. She had a nagging feeling that this maid harbored malicious intentions, and was using the fact that she was someone close to the prince to bully her.

"What are you doing here?" With a cold expression, Cheng Yingzhi quickly stepped forward.

In the dead of night, Jin Shu stood alone here. The light from the lamp was dim and mournful, causing her slender figure to elongate, making her look rather eerie.

"Waiting for Lady Cheng!" "This servant follows Your Highness's orders and comes to the Rainwave Pavilion to pass a message to Lady Cheng. The prince will come to the Rainwave Pavilion later to spend the night. This servant has already been waiting for a long time, I didn't expect that the princess would not be in the courtyard."

"I …" Cheng Ying was at a loss for words. Because they had just arrived, there was no one else at Yulan Xuan's service. Naturally, no one had informed Jinshu of her whereabouts. It was only her fault that Jinshu was waiting in the wind at night.

"It's alright, this servant is just a servant. After all, it's only right to wait for so long. Madam, there's no need to tell this servant where you went." "It's already very late, so I'm afraid that Your Highness will be arriving soon. Madam, do you want to take a bath first …"

Cheng Ying was startled. Looking at the moon high in the sky, she rushed into the yard with the train in her hand in a panic. "Hui Qiao, prepare some hot water for me to bathe in."

Jin Shu spoke slowly from behind. "If Madame lets the prince wait for too long, then things will not be good. Our prince does not have much patience."

Cheng Ying's heart was in turmoil from the news of her being favoured as soon as she entered the residence. It was unknown if it was joy or surprise, but she felt extremely uneasy. Thus, she did not take Jin Shu's rudeness to heart.

When he entered the bathroom, he found that the cedar tub was steaming, and beside it was a small red-mud stove. Both of the stoves had kettles bubbling with steam, causing the entire room to be filled with steaming steam.

Cheng Ying was stunned for a moment before realizing that all of this was prepared by Jin Zhui.

For a moment, she could not tell whether she was happy or upset, so she let Hui Qiao serve her as she undressed and took a bath.

"Young mistress, the servants of the Mo King's Manor have served you well." Hui Qiao whispered.

"That girl has a lot of ghost eyes." As Cheng Yingzhi submerged into the hot water, she felt all her pores open up in the fragrance of the flowers and the hot water, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction. In the midst of the haze, she thought of the words Yun'er had written on her palm when she had taken advantage of the time of the cloth.

To tell the truth, before he saw Yun'er, Cheng Ying Zhi was already shaken. Although she wasn't willing to enter the palace, after entering, hearing about her ex-husband's personnel made her shudder inwardly.

She was just a young lady from the Shangguan family who lived like a prince. She was more attracted to wealth and comfort than to losing her life.

If he had entered the palace by virtue of his beauty or entered the Yan King Manor, he wouldn't have to worry about wealth and prosperity in his life. Before she had entered the palace, she had thought gloomily that if Prince Mo were to fall, she would be married off. Just by thinking about it, she would know how she would be in the next half of her life.

But if he didn't listen to Yan Wang and Imperial Concubine Lan's words, forget about the rest of his life, he didn't even know how long he would live. Not only that, her father was under the direct control of the Yan Emperor, and the authority over the life and death of his family was in his hands.

Cheng Ying sighed dejectedly. Yun'er had warned him again and again. Was she afraid that if she entered Prince Mo's Mansion, she would retreat and have ulterior motives?

At first, she had placed her hopes on the promise of the King of Yan, that if he ascended the throne, she would have a place in the harem. However, when she saw Gabriella, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart – how many pawns did the King of Yan have like her? Did he promise every woman that?

What about the other ladies who had died in a bizarre manner in the past? Who were they?

After Cheng Yingzhi finished bathing in a trance, Hui Ying helped her put on a loose and soft robe and headed to the dorm.

In the midst of the green smoke, the white-clothed Prince Mo leaned against the edge of the bed. He looked a little lazy, with calm eyes and a jade-like face. The light smile on the corner of his lips was intoxicating.

Cheng Ying was stunned for a moment, and Jin Shu tactfully left, pulling Hui Ying out and closing the door behind her.

"Prince …" Cheng Ying's uneasiness deepened. She looked at the two flickering red candles on the candlestick, lighting up the only atmosphere of celebration in the room.

"Come here." Xiao Yi Xiu patted the empty bed beside him and smiled at her.

Cheng Ying Zhi bit her lower lip as she walked over, and a fragrant smell wafted into her nose. She immediately felt that the smell was ethereal, and even the man's face became unreal.

After an unknown period of time, she felt that Xiao Yixiu's voice seemed to come from the horizon, "Xiao Yijin asked you to come here. What do you want to know?"

"I, I …" Do you really want to know if His Highness is really ill and blind? "

"What else?"

"Also …" Is Li Yue really the third young mistress of the Gu family? "

"…"

After all, Cheng Ying Zhi did not know much, and in the midst of her mental confusion, she could not answer anything useful, so she dozed off amidst the fragrant fog.

Wu Yu who was just a wall away did not have such a good life.

After that, she returned to the gloomy Yu He Pavilion. Subconsciously, she began to suspect something, and the more she looked around, the more she felt that this courtyard was strange and scary. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this courtyard was a tall and deep courtyard.

"Ming Zhu, did you say this place … "Isn't that a little bit …" Wu Yu was trembling.

"Miss, don't think too much. If it's time to cause trouble, the neighboring courtyard should be even worse."

Wu Yu randomly washed up and got on the bed, his vigilant eyes staring outside the window.

Until she got used to the Moonlight Tree's shadow and the sound of the wind, she could not hold it in any longer, so she closed her eyes in a daze.
