Chapter 196: Retreat as Advance

When the sky was bright, the red plum woke up faintly.

When I opened my eyes, the house was empty.

Hongmei's hand propped up the edge of the bed and slowly sat up, hurting everywhere in her body.

Could it be ......

Did she succeed?

A look of joy appeared on Hongmei's face, and she stumbled out of bed, leaning against the table, and clearly saw the marks on her body in the bronze mirror.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

That's great!

Just as he was thinking excitedly, there was a light knock on the door twice.

"Who?"

"Girl, are you awake?"

Hearing Yue Su's voice, Hongmei hurriedly replied: "Wake up." ”

"The girl will clean up first, and the prince is waiting for you downstairs to eat."

"Okay, here we are."

By the time Hongmei had cleaned it up, she was already sweating profusely.

The door was opened with a creak, and Yue Su stood outside.

Smile at her.

"Girl, are you alright?"

Hongmei smiled shyly, lowered her head, a little shy, "It's okay......"

Yue Su looked at the woman in front of him, her face was pale, her lips had traces of bleeding and drying with cracked skin, and she was faintly blue under her eyes.

"Miss Hongmei's luck is really good."

Hongmei looked up in confusion, "What's wrong?" ”

"Last night, a group of killers who tried to sneak up on the prince came from outside the inn, and they also charmed many people with incense. Fortunately, the subordinates reacted quickly and eliminated those people. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hongmei's face changed slightly, "It's all ...... Solved? ”

"Yes."

"It's strange why there are such people here...... What do they have to offer? ”

Yue Su said indifferently: "Xu is looking at our big battle, wondering which powerful prince the prince is, and planning to make money and kill him." The subordinates didn't entangle with them much, and they solved it in three or two clicks. ”

"I see......"

"However, when the subordinates rushed over, they found that the red plum girl and the prince had been hit by strange incense." Yue Su's smile revealed a bit of mystery.

Hongmei bit her red lip lightly, and two flashes of red appeared on her face, "You...... You know it all? ”

"It's so loud that it's hard for people not to pay attention." Yue Su obeyed, "Girl, you are blessed." ”

These words undoubtedly gave Hongmei a reassurance.

"What is the blessing or not, as long as I can stay by the prince's side, it is already the greatest honor in my life." As soon as the conversation changed, he was a little lonely, "But, why don't you see the prince?" ”

"The prince has been guarding you for a long time, but you haven't woken up for a long time, so I went to eat to make up for your body."

"I see, then take me down."

"Yes."

seems to have confidence, Hongmei is not as timid today as yesterday, she walked down the steps with Shi Shiran.

"The girl has arrived."

As soon as Yue Su's voice came out, the chatter below stopped abruptly, and Qi Shushu raised his head to look at her.

It's not the first time I've been watched by so many people, but only this time made Hongmei feel happy.

Her steps were a little unsteady, and when she walked up to Mo Huaijin, she stumbled and almost fell.

"Lord ......"

Mo Huaijin's hand was raised slightly, "If you are unwell, you don't need to salute." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Hongmei sat next to him, hung her head, and looked shy, not daring to look at him.

Yue Su said in a low voice: "What are you looking at?" Eat your meal! I'll have to hurry back later! ”

Everyone moved in unison, not daring to be disobedient.

After a long time, Hongmei didn't wait for Mo Huaijin to take the lead in mentioning last night's incident.

She was a little unhappy in her heart, after all, if this is the case, she can't let a woman say it first, right?

"Lord Wang, you can eat something."

Hongmei picked up the chopsticks and made vegetables for him.

"You eat more, after all, you worked hard last night." Mo Huaijin's tone was light, and he couldn't hear the slightest ripple.

Whether it is joy or anger, I can't figure it out.

instantly made Hongmei panic.

"Lord Wang, ...... last night"

"I won't mention it beforehand." Mo Huaijin interrupted her.

Hongmei nodded unwillingly, and the meal was a little frustrated.

On the way back, she and Mo Huaijin sat in a carriage, but they had the opportunity to talk.

Hongmei looked at Mo Huai's handsome face, trying her best to think about everything last night.

But......

Her memory only stayed at the scene when she fell into Mo Huai's arms at the end.

As for the rest, I can't remember anything.

Could it be that the effect of the medicine was too strong, so that she didn't play her proper skills? Didn't serve him well?

Hongmei couldn't help but start thinking about it, and finally decided to be the first to speak.

Mo Huaijin was looking out the window, and suddenly heard a helpless sobbing sound beside him.

When I looked at the side, I found that the pear blossoms that Hongmei had already cried were carrying rain, and the tears were falling like beads that didn't want money.

"Why are you crying?"

Hongmei looked at him when she heard the voice, big tears slipped down from her eyes, and her rippling eyes were filled with rich mist and grievances.

"Hongmei knows that her status is low, and she is a person who came out of the Bangjun Pavilion."

"I'm no longer innocent, and I don't dare to ask for anything."

"Last night's incident was indeed my recklessness and strayed into the enemy's trap."

"And ...... and that irreparable thing happened to the prince. ”

"But please believe that since I woke up, I have never had any thoughts of replacing the princess."

"Because I know that if a woman from a background like me can find a husband who does not dislike me in this life, it will already be a gift from heaven."

Hongmei wiped the tears from her face, but she couldn't stop it, and she fell more and more.

"Lord Wang, yesterday's situation was not what you and I wanted......"

"Please also invite the prince, just think of yourself as having a happy night in Bangjun Pavilion, forget it!"

"Red Plum ...... I would never mention it in front of the princess. ”

The more Mo Huai listened, the tighter his brows tightened.

"Do you mean that the king is irresponsible?"

Hongmei shook her head in a panic, "Hongmei doesn't dare!" ”

"The Yue guards told me that everyone was stunned, so they didn't know about us."

"If the prince really wants to hide it, no one will know."

Mo Huaijin stopped talking, as if he was in deep thought.

Hongmei looked at him, and her voice choked: "I thought that if I got the mercy of the prince, I would be able to stay with the left guard." I didn't expect this to happen...... I ...... I didn't know how to face him. ”

Mo Huai said lightly: "Don't worry, this king can solve this matter." ”

"No matter how the prince solves it, Hongmei will never say a word."

The two glanced at each other, each with their own concerns.

When the sun set, we finally arrived at the palace.

Yue Su stepped forward and was about to help the prince out, but saw Hongmei take the lead in opening the curtain and ran to the palace without looking back.
