Chapter 22: I hope the princess won't misunderstand.
Yan Ruoyu nodded, then took a step back somewhat awkwardly. Her hand fell to her sides, and the emotions in her eyes were hard to describe.
She was weak and leaned directly against Yan Ruoyu.
Yan Ruoyu pressed her fan against her shoulder: "Princess, what I did just now was to save our lives. I hope you don't misunderstand."
She grabbed his belt to support herself, and at that moment, He Yuhuan, who had been resting with her eyes closed outside, suddenly opened them.
She sensed that Zhongli Yueluo had woken up and started banging on Yan Ruoyu's door!
Because of the two barriers, the sound of knocking on the door was very faint.
But the Zheng clan had keen ears; he squinted and listened carefully.
"Bang bang bang!" Yan Ruoyu realized that He Yuhuan was still outside.
She and Zhongli Yueluo were truly of one mind; she sensed it shortly after waking up.
He waved away the barrier, the door was violently pushed open, and He Yuhuan rushed in from outside.
He pulled Zhongli Yueluo around and looked her over, his voice thick with a nasal tone: "Master, you're not dead."
"You can't tell from your voice that you're worried about me, Yu Huan." Zhong Li Yue Luo coughed twice more.
"Pah, pah, pah! What I meant was, it's so good that you're not dead, Master!"
He Yuhuan's speech was slurred, and two lines of tears actually flowed from her blue eyes.
"My dear Aunt Yu Huan, if you hit me any harder, I'm really going to die."
As she spoke, she did not let go of Yan Ruoyu's body.
He Yuhuan looked at the tag hanging on Yan Ruoyu's waist: "Master, I also found this tag among that pile of corpses." He pointed to Yan Ruoyu's waist.
Zhongli Yueluo glanced at him; a golden Zheng plaque hung from his waist.
Like their deer-shaped badges, they used colors to determine status: gold for emperors, silver for clans, and black for commoners, etc.
"what colour?"
"It looks black."
Perhaps Zhong Liyu instructed his Black Deer Guards to find a way to frame the Zheng Clan.
However, they did not expect that the golden Zhengzi amulet was so difficult to obtain, so they wanted to use the black Zhengzi amulet instead to confuse the issue.
I don't know who they're trying to fool with such a superficial tactic of sowing discord.
Yan Ruoyu's eyes widened in surprise, fearing that she might misunderstand.
After all, he had only met her twice. He looked at her face, but she stared into his eyes with trust.
"Do you believe me?"
"If I don't believe you, why would I believe Zhongli Yu or Gongshu Liang?"
He rolled his eyes and continued, "They think they can make me dislike you with such a superficial trick? What a joke!"
Yan Ruoyu didn't quite understand where her trust in him came from.
If a princess is so naive as to believe someone simply because she's seen them once, then she's far too simple-minded.
"It wasn't done by our Zheng clan."
"If Yu Huan dies, the biggest beneficiaries will be my good sister and my childhood sweetheart. Even someone without a brain can figure out that it wasn't you who did it."
Yan Ruoyu placed her hand on her shoulder: "Has the princess never doubted me in the slightest?"
She shook her head sincerely, let go of his hand, and sat down to the side.
He Yuhuan listened to them with her head tilted to the side, and finally concluded that Zhongli Yu and Gongshu Liang were bad people.
Yan Ruoyu opened her Xuan Bone Fan, a cunning glint in her eyes.
“Princess, it seems that what you told me before about your situation in the Western Demon Mountain is true.”
"What, Young Master Yan, are you planning to help me?"
"Since you're so naive and trust me, I'll help you, and you help me."
Zhongli Yueluo smiled faintly, her eyes crinkling, her lips pale: "Then I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Yan Shaojun. By the way, if Zhongli Yu comes to you, you should agree to cooperate with her."
His eyes darted away, and his expression was unnatural: "Zhong Liyu came today, and I rejected her."
"She won't give up so easily. She'll definitely come looking for you again. Whatever she asks for then, I hope you'll agree to it."
"Oh? What if she wanted me to be her devoted follower? Would I agree to that?"
Yan Ruoyu looked at her with a hint of amusement and a teasing gaze.
"Although she loves beauty, she wouldn't disregard her own purpose for the sake of beauty."
Zhongli Yuelu didn't know why he suddenly asked such a question, since she wasn't anyone to him yet.
"Alright, then I'll agree to the princess's request. What can the princess give me?"
"I heard that the Wind and Cloud Ghost Clan sent two young lords. Will the princess favor the Ghost Clan?"
"I'm all alone, how pitiful I am." She covered the lower half of her face with her fan, and even looked a little aggrieved.
"I can't guarantee that, it all depends on your abilities." She poked his chest with her finger, a sly glint in her eyes.
This little princess is interesting. The two of them stared at each other for a while, no one knew what they were thinking.
Until she heard a rumbling sound, she realized it was He Yuhuan's stomach.
Terrified, Zhongli Yuelu glared at He Yuhuan: "Grandma Yuhuan, please, please don't eat out so casually!"
"Oh." She knew she had made a mistake and lowered her head in grievance, but this was the instinct of the Brain-Eating Sparrow Clan.
She stood up unsteadily, one hand supporting her waist and the other clutching her stomach, her mouth grimacing as she hissed.
It hurts! It really hurts, but it seems that the broken ribs have already healed. The Zhen clan's healing methods are truly amazing.
"Young Master Yan, farewell."
He Yuhuan, holding onto her sleeve, turned back and awkwardly said to him, "Thank you."
Meanwhile, the guards outside were still watching the commotion, staring at the door of the room.
Shaojun clearly carried a man in, but now a young girl is walking out.
Several of the guards knew her identity and kept quiet, refusing to gossip.
Yan Ruoyu also beckoned to several trusted confidants, instructing them to secretly follow Zhongli Yueluo and protect her safety.
"Master, are you alright?" He Yuhuan, with her short legs, hurried to catch up with her.
"Not really, but still alive."
Then he gritted his teeth secretly.
"Zhongli Yu! Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. If you don't like associating with Gongshu Liang, I'll grant your wish!"
He then turned to He Yuhuan and gave her a pale smile: "Yuhuan, don't eat unclean things next time. I'll take you to see a good show tomorrow."
"Understood, Master." She was now also traumatized by the poisonous brain.
Black Deer Guard happily returned to report everything he had seen that day, still wondering if he would receive a reward from above.
Then they heard that the Second Princess and her entourage had returned to Yuanyue Pavilion unharmed.
But he clearly saw He Yuhuan go crazy and get poisoned, as if she was about to die.
Moreover, that was the strongest poison in the demon realm, yet she was unharmed after ingesting it. Just what kind of constitution does she have?
Zhongli Yueluo didn't know what kind of poison He Yuhuan had been given. When she returned to Yuanyue Pavilion, she casually asked, "You ate it today, why is your brain acting strangely?"
She smacked her lips as she recalled, "It contained Crane Crow Poison, the strongest poison in the Demon Realm. If my master hadn't thrown me into the water in time, I would have died."
Zhongli Yueluo's hands were trembling... How vicious!
They actually wanted to kill her. Come to think of it, it was all because of her!
