"Why is the Fifth Prince here?" Yu Rou lowered her eyes and secretly observed the places around her where people could hide.
The Fifth Prince had been thinking about her ever since he last saw her. When he saw her in the palace today, he was even more captivated by her. Yu Rou was so dazzling standing among the many noble ladies.
Just now, a little palace maid came to tell him that Yu Rou was waiting for him here. Although he knew it might be a scam or a trap, he hesitated for a moment and still came over. Who knew that he really saw Yu Rou.
The fifth prince's heart was moved. Hearing her soft voice, his eyes looked even more passionate.
However, Yu Rou's question about why he was here also made him cautious. From what Yu Rou said, it seemed that she was not the one who asked him to come. So what was the purpose of the person who asked him to come?
Being in the palace, the fifth prince was no stranger to this kind of conspiracy and intrigue, and he quickly came up with several possibilities.
Yu Rou was engaged to the Crown Prince, and there were probably many jealous women. Asking him to come and meet Yu Rou alone was probably designed by someone who wanted to ruin her reputation, or was unwilling to see the Crown Prince marry into the Yu family, in order to let the Crown Prince see that she was involved with another man. In this way, the Crown Prince, as the crown prince, would cancel the engagement with her.
This was exactly what he wanted.
The fifth prince raised the corner of his lips slightly and walked closer to Yu Rou.
"I came here, of course, to see you, Madam Yu." The fifth prince smiled lightly, looking elegant and gentle.
Yu Rou frowned. She also guessed various possibilities. It was the princess who led her here. Could it be that the prince was testing her?
Her face darkened, feeling something was amiss. She tentatively asked, "Who informed the Fifth Prince that I was here?"
Seeing that she figured it out so quickly, the Fifth Prince couldn't help but look at her with a higher regard. He looked at her with a half-smile and took a few steps closer.
"Didn't the Yu family's wife come to ask me to come? Why do you keep your head down?"
"I'm afraid the Fifth Prince has misunderstood."
The fifth prince smiled softly, his laughter was ambiguous and teasing. He put his hand on Yu Rou's shoulder, wanting to hold her in his arms.
Yu Rou was startled and immediately took a few steps back. Before the Fifth Prince's hand touched her shoulder, she ran away.
Unexpectedly, she ran into the Fifth Prince again after only a few steps.
Yu Rou was secretly annoyed. How come these ancient people all knew martial arts? It was just like teleportation. It was really annoying.
"Where do you want to go, Madam Yu? Isn't it a bit rude to run away before you finish speaking?" The voice of the Fifth Prince sounded above her head.
Yu Rou wanted to look up and give him a cold look, but she held back.
"I don't have anything to say to the Fifth Prince. Please move aside." Yu Rou raised her chin and said coldly.
Her eyes were filled with indifference and a sense of alienation, as she told the Fifth Prince bluntly that she had no intention of inappropriately treating him and asked him to respect himself.
The fifth prince was slightly stunned, but wanted her even more.
His eyes darkened, but a smile still hung on the corners of his lips. He grabbed Yu Rou's wrist and said, "Madam Yu, if you have nothing to say, would you listen to me?"
Yu Rou frowned, "Fifth Prince, please respect yourself. I am engaged to the Crown Prince..."
The Fifth Prince placed his finger on her lips, blocking her from saying anything else. Yu Rou's lips were soft and petite, and the Fifth Prince was reluctant to remove his finger from them. Instead, he slowly rubbed them, his expression somewhat obsessed.
Yu Rou was certain that the Crown Prince hadn't orchestrated the Fifth Prince's arrival, otherwise he would have come out long ago. Her eyes grew colder, and she thought to herself: If she could find out who was behind this, she would make him or her regret it.
"So what if we have an engagement? It can be cancelled. Do you think the Crown Prince must have you?" The Fifth Prince leaned close to her ear and smiled.
Yu Rou looked at him coldly, and unexpectedly opened her mouth and bit his finger hard.
The fifth prince let go of his hand in pain. Yu Rou kicked him in the crotch, then turned around and ran while he was bending over.
Unexpectedly, the fifth prince endured the pain and grabbed her clothes.
Yu Rou was extremely angry, and suddenly remembered that the original owner actually knew martial arts, so she punched and kicked the fifth prince hard.
The Fifth Prince never expected that Yu Rou would suddenly become so brutal. He was only concerned with covering his crotch, and was beaten violently by Yu Rou in other parts of his body.
She looks delicate, but she's actually quite strong.
The Fifth Prince's face turned blue after being beaten by her, and he still felt a dull pain there. He pushed Yu Rou angrily and pressed her against the rockery next to him.
The rockery was not flat, and the stones hurt Yu Rou's bones, causing a burning pain in her back.
Yu Rou was about to shout when she heard a familiar voice.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Rou's face turned pale, and she quickly shouted, "Your Highness, save me!"
When the Fifth Prince heard the voice, his face changed, but he had already expected that the Crown Prince would come. He wanted the Crown Prince to see that Yu Rou had a close relationship with him, so that the Crown Prince would feel resentful towards Yu Rou. As long as the Crown Prince took the initiative to cancel the engagement with Yu Rou, he could propose to Yu Rou.
Just as the Fifth Prince was about to hug Yu Rou, he felt his collar being grabbed and he fell backwards.
In order to avoid falling, he had to let go of Yu Rou and resist.
After Yu Rou was freed, her first reaction was to rush over and hug the prince.
Smelling the faint sandalwood scent on the prince's body, Yu Rou breathed a sigh of relief, then hugged him tighter, and clearly felt the prince's body stiffen. "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is obsessed with sex and intends to do something bad to me. Your Highness, save me!"
The fifth prince's eyes widened and he quickly retorted, "Royal brother, she deliberately led me here."
The Crown Prince sneered and ignored the Fifth Prince. He looked down at Yu Rou with a nervous expression, "Are you okay?"
As soon as Yu Rou raised her head, her eyes turned red and her eye sockets became wet. She looked at the prince with tears in her eyes, not saying a word, looking extremely pitiful.
