Yuan Zhao's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. What did Rong Ruo mean by that?
Is it what she thinks?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Rong Ruo say:
"I have saved you once again. How will you repay me?"
That damned eunuch is despicable.
Yuan Zhao smiled upon hearing this and said sarcastically:
"Didn't the Supervisor say I belong to him?"
Isn't it only natural to protect your own things?
What do you want in return?
Rong Ruo seemed surprised by Yuan Zhao's words and paused for a moment.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Yuan Zhao quickly escaped from his side, then released Wen Feng's pressure points, grabbed Wen Feng, and ran away.
When Rong Ruo came to her senses, she saw Yuan Zhao fleeing.
A ripple stirred in his deep, ink-like eyes.
He gently rubbed his fingers together, as if the smooth, delicate texture of the fabric was still there.
With a slight twitch of his lips, the intimidating eunuch revealed a half-smile.
Over there, Yuan Zhao and Wen Feng had already returned to the courtyard they had been in before.
Yuan Zhao was alright, but Wen Feng's face was somewhat pale.
"Don't tell anyone what happened today!"
Yuan Zhao gave the instructions in a low voice.
"This servant understands."
Wenfeng certainly knew the seriousness of the matter.
"Was that the Chief Supervisor just now?"
When she woke up, she could only vaguely see the person wearing the flying fish robe.
Yuan Zhao nodded, not taking Rong Ruo's matter to heart.
Anyway, things are already like this for her and Rong Ruo, so it can't get any worse.
Now, what worries her is the secret she heard today.
Before long, the noble ladies from the surrounding area returned to this side. Because they were inconspicuous, no one knew where they had just gone.
Only Linglong, carrying the cloak, searched around before finally finding Yuan Zhao and Wen Feng here.
She was about to ask them why they weren't there when Wenfeng said they'd talk about it when they got back, and Linglong knew something must have happened.
Before long, a maid came to invite them to the banquet, saying that it was ready and they could go and eat.
Princess Chaoyang's birthday banquet was not a grand affair, and the eldest princess only invited people she favored.
Since there weren't many people, men and women weren't separated; they were all in the same banquet hall, with only a screen separating them.
Yuan Zhao could vaguely see the scene over there through the screen.
Because of what she heard, she didn't dare to eat much.
In her past life, she didn't receive the invitation, and she had no idea what would happen today.
What did that person use the medicine for?
Who was poisoned?
She was uncertain and dared not eat anything.
Princess Chaoyang had a good impression of her. Seeing that she wasn't eating, she assumed it wasn't to her liking and said:
"Try this venison. It's made in the kitchen and stewed for a long time. It's my favorite."
Yuan Zhao composed himself and was about to say something when he heard the voice of the dead eunuch coming from behind the screen:
"The chef at the princess's residence is excellent, and the banquet he prepared is also very good."
Then the eldest princess's voice rang out:
"If the supervisor likes it, then eat more."
"Thank you for the princess's gift."
Hearing these words, Yuan Zhao's worries lessened somewhat.
If they dared to eat that dead eunuch, then there must be nothing wrong with it.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao stopped resisting and started eating.
Seeing that Yuan Zhao was giving her so much face, Princess Chaoyang's impression of her improved even more.
After finishing the meal without finding anything amiss, Yuan Zhao finally felt relieved.
Originally, after lunch, Princess Chaoyang wanted Yuan Zhao to stay and play for a while, but Yuan Zhao dared not stay at this moment.
She made an excuse that she had matters to attend to at her residence and had to return first. She then invited Princess Chaoyang to visit her residence, and Princess Chaoyang reluctantly agreed.
The eldest sister-in-law was unaware of what had happened, but seeing that Yuan Zhao's expression was off, she echoed that she had to go back.
Princess Chaoyang personally escorted them to the door, where they bumped into the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, who were about to leave.
The Second Prince glanced at Yuan Zhao and smiled as he spoke to Princess Chaoyang:
"Chaoyang, my brother and I are leaving, and you didn't even come to see us off, but you only remembered to see off your friends."
Upon hearing this voice, Yuan Zhao trembled.
That was the voice that was speaking just now.
That man was actually the Second Prince?
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao subconsciously raised his head and looked at the Second Prince.
