Chapter 91 Always Knew!

  Zi Ruoye looked at Shangguan Meng, who was hanging his small head down, and asked softly, "Meng'er, what's wrong?" How come you look so listless all of a sudden? Weren't you fine just now?

  Shangguan Meng raised his head, his voice trembling slightly, "Wife... just now, why didn't you say that I am also your husband?"

  Zi Ruoye was taken aback, not expecting that Shang Guan Meng would think of this problem. Perhaps it was because she had always treated this little bun as a younger brother and spoiled him, so she hadn't thought about it in that way. "Meng'er, you're still young... you don't even know the meaning of 'wife'." The little person in front of her was clearly just a tender and delicate child, and Zi Ruoye didn't want to be a homewrecker.

  As soon as he heard that Zi Ruoye was again using his age to shirk responsibility, Shangguan Meng's apple face wrinkled, and the sparkling eyes that bit his lip were piercing, saying, "Meng'er is not young anymore, next year will be fifteen, Meng'er is really not young anymore." Why do they all say he's young, he's only one year younger than Yun Gege...

  "But Meng'er, you now just treat me as a sister... so..." Zi Ruoye's words were left unfinished, and Shangguan Meng closed his eyes and directly kissed Zi Ruoye's lips. In an instant, Zi Ruoye's pupils constricted!

  It's actually... the taste of maltose... sweet and sweet.

  After a fleeting kiss, Shangguan Meng retreated several steps back, her eyes filled with tears ready to burst forth, and said, "A child wouldn't do such a thing! Meng'er knows, Meng'er has always known, it's just the mistress who didn't know!" As she spoke, her small figure turned around and ran out of the great hall.

  She didn't know? What didn't she know? Zi Ruoye was confused by Shang Guan's words and looked at Yun Cong beside her, only to see Yun Cong smiling at her with a helpless expression. "I... what's wrong again?"

  As for Shang Guan Meng, she only felt that he was really like a child, so she pampered and spoiled him. It was also because when she first saw those bright and pure eyes without any impurities, Shang Guan Meng seemed like a well-behaved little cat. Occasionally touching his hair would make her very satisfied with his cute meows. But now... watching Shang Guan Meng's leaving figure, she suddenly felt as if she had done something unforgivable, especially when his bright eyes became misty. She really felt that she was unforgivable, but in fact, she hadn't done anything, and instead, she was the one who got forcefully kissed by Shang Guan Meng.

  。

  The pleading gaze turned to Yun Cong, and Zi Ruo Ye anxiously wanted to know if she had really done something unforgivable.

  "Your Highness, there are some things that can only be let go of by oneself. Even if Yun Cong says it, it won't have any effect." Yun Cong said with a smile, but in fact, he had always felt that the prince seemed to lack something, and now he vaguely felt that it was a sense of belonging. Perhaps she didn't consider this place as home, although the prince secretly helped the current emperor, but she always looked at everyone with the eyes of an outsider, quietly watching them with a playful smile.

  It's as if... everything is just a play... Yun Cong was shocked, feeling ridiculous and terrified at the same time about his own thoughts. How could he have such thoughts? He pushed away the complex ideas in his mind, and only then did Yun Cong feel at ease. In that instant, he actually thought that everything he had thought of was real. How could he think like this?

  "Yinger? What's wrong?" Zi Ruoye saw Yun Cong's slightly dazed expression, walked forward and softly called out to him, looking at him with a worried gaze as he had a fleeting pale complexion.

  Yun Cong looked over and saw Zi Ruoye looking at him with anxiety and worry, a faint smile on her face. "Perhaps you didn't rest well, so you were a bit distracted just now." As she spoke, she took Yun Cong's hand, and the warmth of his palm transmitted to hers, finally putting his heart at ease. The prince was truly real, and for an instant, he had almost thought that his happiness was just a dream.

  The next second, she exclaimed and reflexively hugged Wang Ye's neck, "What's wrong with the king?" Why did you suddenly hug him? This... there are still servants around... Yun Cong's cheeks were slightly flushed, like delicate pink peach blossoms, beautiful and tempting.

  "Go back and rest if you're not feeling well." Thinking that maybe she had been tired for the past few days, Zi Ruoye felt a little guilty in her heart. These days, for some reason, she couldn't control herself, leaning close to his ear, softly speaking with a hint of apology in Cloud Condensation's ear, "I've been tired for the past few days, it won't happen again. I won't go over today." But every time she saw Cloud Condensation, she would lose control... Actually, as the wife, she should have gone to Husband Lang's main room, but Zi Ruoye just liked to run to Cloud Condensation's courtyard, and her own room hadn't been entered since the day she returned to Purple Mystic's capital city.

  。

  Yun Ning's face turned even redder, and she shook her head slightly with a smile. "Prince Wang, you've misunderstood." Although these past few days have been somewhat... Prince Wang didn't know why he was being so stubborn, but he was still very happy. "Yun Ning is very happy..." After saying that, he buried his small face in Zi Ruo Ye's bosom. Except for every time he got up at dawn, the ambiguous glances from the servants made him feel a bit embarrassed...

  "Never mind, let's just say I misunderstood. Today, I happen to have something on, you can rest well by yourself." Zi Ruoye thought Yun Rong always had a thin face, how could her face be thicker than the city wall? She just went along with his words and hugged Yun Rong all the way back to his small courtyard. Even when they arrived at the courtyard, she didn't put Yun Rong down, but instead carried him into the house and placed him on the soft couch beside him.

  All the way, Yun Ning indeed had the idea of walking on her own, but knowing that Zi Ruoye was stubborn and wouldn't listen even if she said something, so she just let her carry her. After sitting down, Yun Ning asked, "Why didn't you see Qing Yu? Didn't he go to Ning City with the king? Could it be that the king abandoned him halfway?" As for Liu Qingyu chasing after Zi Ruoye to Ning City, Yun Ning was well aware of it. Originally, she thought that today the king would bring back Liu Qingyu, but unexpectedly, it was actually the tenth prince of Qinglan, Lang Ge.

  Thinking of Liu Qingyu, Zi Ruo Ye's face turned slightly red with embarrassment, "Qingyu will be coming over in a few days, did you know that, Ning'er?" In fact, Zi Ruo Ye also knew she was asking unnecessary questions, seeing Yun Cong's calm demeanor, she was probably already aware of it.

  "It was that day when I just arrived at the edge of the capital city... Shadow told me..." Zi Ruoye recounted to Liu Qingyou in detail how he had been following her all along, including how he had pretended to be a street performer on his own, playing the role of a male admirer, and then being framed by the governor, trapping them both in the coal mine for seven days before finding the hidden passage and escaping. After that, they had their tree branch confession, and after experiencing wind and rain, they arrived at Gui City, where they encountered the case of missing people, and Liu Qingyou even played the role of a bad wife...

  Every time Yun Cong heard a thrilling story, he would unconsciously clench his fists. After finishing listening, he would let out a soft sigh of relief in his heart. This time, the prince's investigation was indeed full of danger, but fortunately, everything turned out to be alright. Although he had received letters from ghosts and spirits informing him of the prince's movements, hearing the prince recount the story still made him feel chilled to the bone. But immediately after, he smiled brightly at Zi Ruoye, "Did the prince let Qingyu stay in her original courtyard?" That place was the farthest from hers?

  He had also thought about how to approach a man like Liu Qingyou, but unexpectedly he was the second bravest person after Shangguan Meng. Although he had spoken up before, it was only an indirect expression, and he was indeed brave. As a killer, he was already accustomed to living in the wind and rain and being alone, but Liu Qingyou was different.

  。

  "Hmm? As for the courtyard, let's wait until he arrives and ask him then." Thinking of Liu Qingyao, Zi Ruoye smiled slightly, wondering how that little vinegar jar was doing in the Prime Minister's mansion.

  "Why didn't you return with the prince that day?" Yun Cong asked, getting to the point. It was surprising that Liu Qingyou had traveled all the way back with the prince, so why didn't they return to the palace together once they arrived in the capital?

  Zi Ruoye's face turned slightly pale, and she seemed to have forgotten to mention Mu Ruo Xing just now. "It was because there was a man on the way...” She said here, Zi Ruoye still looked at Yun Cong with tension, “His name is Mu Ruo Xing, he was one of the men we rescued in Gui Cheng, he said he had relatives in the capital and wanted to return with us...” But whether he really had relatives or not, that would have to be investigated. Only on that day, after scaring him, she didn't go after him to investigate, she just teased Mu Ruo Xing, wanting to teach that man a lesson. They were originally strangers, although they might meet again soon. Zi Ruoye deliberately skipped over the part where she almost got stabbed in the heart by an assassin but was saved by Mu Ruo Xing, she didn't want Yun Cong to worry.

  Zi Ruoye said, at this time, Yun Ning had already guessed seven or eight, "I'm afraid Qingyou has eaten flavor?" Mu Ruo Xing? Yun Ning thought about this name in her heart, and it seemed that there was no one with the surname Mu in the capital... Her eyes faintly swept over a layer of gorgeous light, and soon passed.

  "Ning'er guessed it right, I'm always by his side, how could we have a romantic night? All I can say is that Qingyu is really a small vinegar jar." Who knows if the vinegar jar is developing in the direction of the vinegar pot. Thinking of this, Ziyueye couldn't help but feel helpless, but seeing Qingyu eating her own vinegar, she found it cute instead, after all, this was the most authentic Qingyu.

  "It seems that Mu Gongzi is also a playful person."

  "But after we parted ways in the capital, I don't know where he went." Ah, yes, Muxing is indeed a playful person, just hope he doesn't play too much, Ziruoye's smiling eyes flashed with a faint light. Liu Qingyou will come to the Wangfu in a few days, Ziruoye suddenly thought that if Liu Qingyou saw Langge, that little vinegar jar would probably spill another vat of vinegar again.

  She is now more looking forward to the arrival of Haiyue's envoy in a few days, originally thought that Haiyue and Qinglan would arrive at the same time, but it was delayed for several days?

  Digression

  What a relief... just made it in time...

  Six men are left with one... The days should be getting more and more interesting, huh?
