Chapter 36

On this day, Rongrong decided to personally cook a sumptuous lunch for Yuanwu as a farewell.

Having been cooped up at home since childhood, Rongrong had already mastered basic life skills and could easily prepare a meal.

Yuanwu, unaware that Rongrong was leaving, was overjoyed and even went to Hefenglou to buy drunken duck, Rongrong's favorite dish.

When Yuanwu returned, it was just in time for dinner, and the table was already full of food.

Unlike the dishes of this era, the food on the table looks novel and unique.

Rong Rong sat happily at the table, her eyes sparkling as she watched Yuan Wu carry the drunken duck into the room.

At first glance, it looked like a wife waiting for her husband to return home, her eyes full of warmth and anticipation. Yuanwu paused slightly, then calmly strode towards Rongrong.

An unnatural expression flashed across his face, but only he knew it.

"Quickly, dinner's ready!" Rong Rong set out the bowls and chopsticks, and Yuan Wu opened the oil paper package.

The aroma of meat instantly filled Rong Rong's nose.

"It smells so good!" Rong Rong sniffed like a little glutton, and Yuan Wu silently tore the meat into pieces for her.

Rong Rong couldn't wait to put the meat in her mouth, her eyes squinting happily.

Although she lives in the 21st century, she rarely has the opportunity to eat a variety of delicious foods because she rarely leaves her home.

Many things in this world held a great attraction for her.

Rong Rong ate several bites without stopping, but then noticed Yuan Wu sitting there blankly without eating. She asked in confusion, "Why aren't you eating? The drunken duck smells so good!"

Yuanwu stared straight at Rongrong, his Adam's apple bobbing, and said only, "I'm not hungry."

"Not hungry?" Rong Rong frowned. She'd practiced swordsmanship all morning, and she wasn't hungry? "You're reluctant to part with it? Don't panic, just pawn all my jewelry!"

Rong Rong waved her small hand with great enthusiasm, and while speaking, she didn't forget to put the meat in her hand into her mouth.

Yuan Wu smiled but didn't reply. How could he bear to let Rong Rong live a hard life with him?

Yes, it was with him.

Thinking of what Yuan Yang had said to him on the way back from Hefeng Tower, Yuan Wu felt a surge of excitement.

The Marquis intends to use his wife as bait to set a trap, luring Prince Yu into it so that he can be killed.

If he cooperates with the Marquis's plan this time, the Marquis promises that he will be allowed to leave with his wife afterwards.

From then on, no matter where they were, no one would bother them again, and he would give his wife a free and happy life.

must!

Yuan Wu's eyes were firm as he watched Rong Rong devour most of the drunken duck.

When Rongrong was about to eat more, Yuanwu grabbed her hand and said, "Madam, save it for tonight. Too much won't be good for your digestion."

"No!" Rong Rong reached for it again, but unfortunately, Yuan Wu held her small hand tightly in his palm.

Rong Rong looked up and saw Yuan Wu's expression, which left no room for refusal.

Oh wow, Yuanwu is starting to play the domineering CEO role too?

Rong Rong was dissatisfied and about to get angry when she suddenly felt dizzy and her body went limp and slumped against the table.

“I…” Rong Rong frowned in confusion, but Yuan Wu let go of her hand. Rong Rong looked over anxiously and saw that Yuan Wu looked calm, as if he had known all along that she would be upset.

"You poisoned me?" Rong Rong asked in surprise. Her voice was not as soft as usual, but rather husky and seductive.

"I just want Madam to get a good night's sleep. When she wakes up, I will take her away from here to wherever she wants to go," Yuanwu explained in a low voice. He knew that Rongrong had always longed for freedom and the outside world, and he would help her realize her dream.

"Really?" Rong Rong chuckled. "Is it really just about taking a nap?"

Why did she feel like her whole body was on fire, burning her to the point of delirium, and making her desperately crave a broad chest?

A soft moan escaped Rong Rong's lips. She was slumped on the table, her body weak and limp, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes misty and alluring.

My mind is foggy and I've lost the ability to think. All I know is that I desperately crave something.

Yuan Wu's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up. "Yuan Yang lied to me?"

This isn't some kind of sleeping potion; it's clearly an aphrodisiac! He drugged his wife with an aphrodisiac!

Yuanwu reached out to hug Rongrong, intending to use his internal energy to help her expel the poison and then find a doctor to detoxify her.

However, perhaps his mental confusion made him lose his usual vigilance. As soon as he made a move, someone struck his pressure points from behind, and he suddenly froze, standing stiffly in place.

Yuan Wu's eyes snapped open, his eye sockets instantly turning crimson, his pupils dilating, and a rapid flash of shock, anger, anxiety, and violence crossed his eyes.

Yuanwu tried his best to get out of the predicament, but to no avail. He could only watch helplessly as the person behind him stepped forward and hugged Rongrong in his arms.

His previously unhurried movements suddenly stopped, and the man stared intently at Rong Rong, as if he had been frozen in place.

Yuan Wu suddenly shed tears of blood. He had harmed his wife, and who could forgive such a wife? Who could remain rational in the face of such a wife?

Suddenly a noise came from the courtyard, and Yuanwu was overjoyed, but the joy froze on his face the next second, as the clanging of swords came from outside the courtyard.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Ping An roared, and Prince Yu leaped backward, barely dodging the poisoned needle that shot right in front of him.

"There's an ambush!"

Prince Yu swung his sword and spun around, creating a gust of wind that forced back the group of men in black who were attacking him.

Ping An quickly jumped to Prince Yu's side, and the guards accompanying Prince Yu quickly formed a circle, protecting Prince Yu behind them.

All around them stood countless men in black, wielding knives, while on the rooftops not far away, rows of archers aimed their arrows at them, awaiting only a command.

Prince Yu stood with his sword in hand, his killing intent surging. Ping An was extremely anxious. They had come in too much of a hurry and hadn't brought many men. They would probably have a hard time escaping from this courtyard.

Suddenly, a whistle blew, and all the men in black moved.

Sparks seemed to fly as swords clashed, and Prince Yu faced a dozen or so men in black at the same time.

Even so, Prince Yu was still able to handle the situation with ease. One after another, the men in black fell, but they were quickly replaced by others. It seemed that the men in black were coming in one after another to exhaust Prince Yu's strength.

"Your Highness, let's go!" Ping An roared. He was covered in wounds but was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

Prince Yu moved resolutely toward the main house, even though his pace was slow and he was stabbed several times.

If it weren't for the strong smell of blood, one would never know from his appearance and movements that Prince Yu was also seriously injured.

"Where there's life, there's hope! We'll come back next time! Ugh!" Ping An roared as he was slashed again in the back, the cut so deep it exposed bone.

Prince Yu showed no reaction and continued to approach the door step by step. His murderous aura and the countless corpses at his feet finally intimidated the men in black, making them afraid to go forward.

"As expected of Prince Yu, a god of war on the battlefield." From a distant rooftop, Du Shaofeng and Yuan Yang silently watched the courtyard.

"It's a pity that the Emperor is going to assume personal rule, so Prince Yu can't live!" Du Shaofeng sighed deeply, as if lamenting the impending passing of a great star, but his face showed no regret whatsoever, as if he were simply saying that the weather was nice today.

Seeing that most of the men in black were dead or wounded, Prince Yu was about to rush into the house when Du Shaofeng gave him a look, and suddenly someone shouted.

"Your Highness, you've arrived just in time! Come inside and see for yourself! Your Highness's wife is having an affair with a scoundrel. Your Highness's sincere affections have likely been misplaced!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"
