Chapter 28 His Majesty's Concern

Wu Xun turned around and caught a glimpse of vague shadows reflected on the silk screen that was as thin as a cicada's wing. The shadows had already gathered together.

"Then..." "Then I will leave now?"

Fu Yi: “…”

He didn't expect it either.

Whether this princess of his was really the daughter of the Marquis's family or someone else pretending to be her, she should be avoided as much as possible.

It's okay to be superficially close in front of everyone during the day.

If they sleep together every night, won't she feel nervous and afraid of being exposed?

Or are you determined and really want to have a baby with him?

"Go down." Fu Yi still spoke.

Wu Xun ran out as if he was escaping, and when the wind blew, he felt sweat all over.

Such a honey trap... Such a honey trap. It's really fatal!

The room was silent.

After a long while, Cheng Nianying turned her head to look at Fu Yi: "You can't sleep?"

At this moment, he should be flipping through the book at hand while listening to his subordinates' reports.

But now there was a pair of eyes staring at him.

But these eyes are full of sincerity.

Fu Yi said, "Yes, there are some."

"But the pain is too much to sleep?"

"...Hmm." Does she have any other way to relieve the pain?

Cheng Nianying, however, had already started asking something else: "I heard from the people in the palace that the prince fell seriously ill because he was trying to save the emperor. Was he poisoned? Or was he injured in some other way?"

Fu Yi was silent for a while.

Cheng Nianying couldn't help but turn to look at him. "Are you asleep?" Her breath was filled with the lingering scent of jasmine. She must have used that scent in her bath today.

Fu Yi spoke up: "Although I was meritorious in saving the emperor, what happened at that time was considered a taboo in the court."

Cheng Nianying had seen many absurd things when she was a killer. She couldn't help but guess, "Was it an assassination during a pleasure-seeking incident?"

Fu Yi was amused: "The current emperor doesn't like this."

"What about the prince?"

Fu Yi: "...I don't like this either."

He went on readily, "Your Majesty, on a private visit to Jianzhou, found it difficult to enforce the imperial decrees there. It turned out that the governor was the governor, not the emperor. In anger, Your Majesty revealed his identity, only to be assassinated by a mob. This disregard for imperial authority is audacious and audacious. It is a matter of great concern to Your Majesty."

It's even more of a shame.

Even though Cheng Nianying was not familiar with state affairs, he understood that such an action was tantamount to throwing the noble's face to the ground and trampling on it.

No wonder it is taboo.

"The assassination attempt was carried out with a hidden arrow, which was poisoned. If I weren't young, I would have been killed."

"What kind of poison is it?"

"I don't remember. If you meet the imperial physician who first diagnosed me someday, you can ask him about it." She just casually answered the question about an imperial physician whom she had no chance of meeting.

Cheng Nianying was about to agree.

"Gu."

It was a very subtle sound, but it didn't escape Fu Yi's ears. He immediately sat up and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Cheng Nianying didn't say anything. She remembered that she hadn't taken the medicine in the building for some time.

Being a killer requires endurance. Not only does one have to endure hunger, but one also has to be able to withstand the normal bodily reactions of many people. It's not something that can be controlled simply by endurance. Just like when you're hungry, your stomach growls.

So they take some medicine.

After taking the medicine, my stomach won't feel hungry, I won't yawn when I'm sleepy, my pupils won't change when I see anything, and I can walk naturally even if I have a broken bone...

Go back and get medicine, these four words flashed through her mind.

If I go back, I will become the killer I used to be.

"If you are hungry, then you are hungry. Why are you embarrassed to get up? Your Majesty likes vegetarian food. I know you probably won't be able to endure after eating this." Fu Yi picked up the golden hook hanging on the head of the bed and threw it casually.

The golden hook hit the door frame with a crisp sound.

Someone immediately pushed the door open and came in: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Bring some food."

It didn't take long before the aroma of food filled the room. Cheng Nianying's nose twitched.

Naturally, she no longer works as a killer.

Being a killer is too hard and I can't even save any money.

Once the matter at the Prince's Mansion is settled and the people in the building can't find her, they will cross her name out. From then on, she will be free and can go anywhere.

"Why are you still in a daze?" Fu Yi lifted her wrist and stared at her, as if he wanted to see through her.

Cheng Nianying's eyes moved and fell on Fu Yi's pale and handsome face.

Who would have thought that the killer from yesterday would sneak in today and become one of the nobles?

Cheng Nianying smiled genuinely and happily at Fu Yi, then sat up.

She has to get used to it.

Slowly get used to walking in the sun like a normal person.

The palace maid quickly came forward and helped Cheng Nianying away.

Fu Yi lowered his eyes and pinched his fingertips lightly.

Are you smiling so happily?

Cheng Nianying was determined to do something for Fu Yi, so she didn't sleep well that night.

At first she just held Fu Yi's hand.

After sleeping for a long time, Fu Yi felt his body getting hot. He opened his eyes and saw his princess leaning towards him like a small stove.

She said that she wanted to sleep with him every day, and it was not without purpose.

She was indeed warm enough.

But it's not just Cheng Nianying. Fu Yi is also not used to being so close to others.

He was about to push the person away with his fingers.

Cheng Nianying leaned her head against his chest.

Cheng Nianying actually didn't fall asleep either.

But she was very good at pretending to be asleep.

That day, she felt uncomfortable simply being grabbed by the hand. That was unacceptable. She should get used to it more often... just like when the teacher would hold a sharp knife against her eyes during training. Do that a few times, and she'd get used to not closing her eyes.

It's just a small matter.

Just practice.

Cheng Nianying thought to herself and pushed herself forward closer.

Well, her breathing was also very well controlled. It showed that even though she wasn't taking medication, some of her skills were still ingrained in her. Cheng Nianying was extremely satisfied with her performance.

The next day, Cheng Nianying woke up early.

She stood up first, then reached under the covers and felt around carefully. It was warm, and it was working... But before she could continue, her wrist was suddenly clamped tightly.

"There's nothing hidden in the quilt." Fu Yi's voice was hoarse.

Cheng Nianying felt something was wrong: "Why does the prince seem to be worse than yesterday?"

Fu Yi: "..." "Go out and ask the imperial physician to come."

When Cheng Nianying heard this, she quickly jumped out of bed.

When the imperial physician came in, Nanny Shi invited Cheng Nianying to have breakfast.

"Is the Princess still worried about the Prince's condition?"

"Yeah." Cheng Nianying was absent-minded while eating breakfast.

Compared to the vague future, returning the intact prince to her "sister". Now Cheng Nianying cares more about the most important thing at the moment.

If the prince died, could she still stay in his mansion?

She was absolutely certain that she didn't want to go back to the building.

…

Wu Xun asked anxiously, "How is the master's health?"

The imperial physician stroked his beard and said, "Excellent! Master, would you like to taste the gunpowder?"

Fu Yi raised his eyelids coldly.

This reaction was considered a loss of composure for him. The imperial physician immediately shut up.
