Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao's expression changed. She noticed that Wen Feng's breathing had changed, so she quickly gestured for him to cover his mouth.
Yuan Zhao's heart was beating very fast.
She never expected that simply resting here for a while would cause her such trouble.
drug?
What are we supposed to do?
Yuan Zhao's eyelids twitched, and then he heard a woman's voice:
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
The two people were speaking in very low voices; if Yuan Zhao hadn't been positioned downwind, she probably wouldn't have heard them.
The two then whispered a few more words before leaving.
Hearing the footsteps fade away, Wenfeng couldn't help but whisper:
"Miss!"
Yuan Zhao's expression changed.
Sure enough, the departing footsteps suddenly stopped.
Oh no!
Yuan Zhao subconsciously gripped the dagger hidden in his sleeve.
It was inconvenient to bring a whip to the Princess's residence today, so she specially brought a dagger with her.
She never expected it would actually come in handy.
The footsteps came and went, and Yuan Zhao's heart jumped into his throat.
Wenfeng knew he had made a mistake and didn't dare to utter a sound.
As the footsteps drew closer, Yuan Zhao slowly drew the dagger from his sleeve.
She didn't want to know who was coming, but she couldn't die today!
Just as she was considering whether to strike first, a long, slender, and icy hand suddenly covered her lips.
Her pupils widened suddenly, then she relaxed completely.
A faint scent of bamboo brushed past her nose, along with that familiar warmth. Without turning around, she knew who was behind her.
The two who had returned were now standing where Yuan Zhao had just been.
"Nobody's here. Did you hear me wrong?"
The man frowned.
The woman looked around but didn't find anything unusual, so the two left.
At this moment, Yuan Zhao was being squeezed behind the artificial hill by Rong Ruo, while Wen Feng had already lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Rong Ruo only let go of the two men's hands after confirming that they had left.
Yuan Zhao then took a deep breath.
That was close!
She thought she would be discovered.
But she never expected the jinx to appear here, and she never expected him to help her.
Yuan Zhao looked at Rong Ruo with a complicated expression. This was the first time the two had met since that day.
Because they were trying to avoid each other, the two were now extremely close.
She could clearly smell the faint scent of cold bamboo and green wood on him, and if she smelled it more closely, there was also a hint of medicine.
Looking at Rong Ruo up close only makes him seem even more handsome.
Smelling the ascetic scent emanating from him, and seeing his godlike face, Yuan Zhao shifted his gaze to Wen Feng on the ground, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"You won't die!"
Rong Ruo spoke calmly.
He had just covered Yuan Zhao's lips and pressed the sleeping acupoint on Wen Feng.
At this moment, the warmth of her lips still lingered in his palms.
Rong Ruo's fingers curled slightly, and he gave a cold laugh as he spoke:
"You've got some nerve, coming to all sorts of places."
Yuan Zhao was somewhat annoyed. She just wanted to find a quiet place, but who knew she would cause such a mess.
But why would Rong Ruo come here?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Rong Ruo spoke:
"Gifts!"
A look of sudden realization flashed in Yuan Zhao's eyes.
Yes, today is Princess Chaoyang's birthday.
Given Emperor Xuanwu's fondness for Princess Chaoyang, he will surely send someone to present her with generous gifts today.
And since Rongruo was Emperor Xuanwu's most trusted person, it was normal for him to be sent to deliver gifts.
Seeing that she was thinking, Rongruo suddenly raised his hand and pinched her earlobe.
Yuan Zhao, like a startled rabbit, suddenly took a step back.
But behind her was a rockery; where could she retreat to?
Her eyes held a mixture of wariness and complexity.
Recently, Rong Ruo seems to enjoy touching her inappropriately.
Judging from the marks on his body and Rong Ruo's actions just now, wasn't he a eunuch?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Rong Ruo pressed down the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile:
"Eunuchs are human beings too."
