Feng Yunshu once suspected that there was something wrong with her ears and she was having auditory hallucinations.
When did Helan Yanting become so incredibly wealthy?
"Your Highness, don't scare me..." Feng Yunshu instantly imagined a hundred possibilities in her mind, and the more she thought, the more scared she became.
Helan Yanting raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Yunshu with a puzzled face. "My lady, why do you say so?"
"Your Highness, tell me honestly... have you secretly engaged in any illegal business?" Feng Yunshu walked up to him mysteriously, slightly tiptoed and whispered in his ear.
She didn't realize at all how intimate her actions were. The warm breath from her words sprayed on Helan Yanting's ear. His earlobes gradually turned red, his body trembled slightly, and the hand hanging in his wide sleeve tightened involuntarily.
Feng Yunshu was full of doubts, but she didn't wait for his answer for a long time. Instead, she keenly noticed that the always calm and composed prince's earlobes were actually red!
Feng Yunshu seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. "Your Highness, why are your ears red? Are you shy?"
Helan Yanting quickly turned his head away. When he turned back, he had already returned to normal. He looked at Feng Yunshu and smiled gently. "My lady is really good at joking. Hehe, what illegal business could I possibly do?"
Hey, he's changing the subject!
Feng Yunshu noticed that his breathing was a bit unsteady. It was rare to see him at a loss, so of course she couldn't just let him off. So she leaned against his shoulder again pretending to be intimate.
"Your Highness, you wouldn't secretly run a gambling house or a brothel, would you?"
The faint fragrance of powder from the woman beside him wafted over. On closer inspection, it seemed like the beautiful scenery of spring flowers in March, which made people can't help but be shocked.
Helan Yanting's always calm emotions suddenly became chaotic. Immediately, he reached out to hold the slender waist of the little woman beside him and leaned in to kiss her red lips.
The strong smell of male hormones suddenly approaching hit her face. Feng Yunshu suddenly opened her eyes wide. Before she could let out a scream, it was blocked in her throat.
His lips were a bit cool like the morning dew, but soft. Soon they became hot...
"Rogue!"
Feng Yunshu's mind buzzed and she came back to her senses. She immediately pushed Helan Yanting away and took several steps back in a panic. But her lips were still so hot, as if they always retained his unique aura.
Feng Yunshu quickly raised her wide sleeve and frantically wiped her lips. At the same time, she glared at Helan Yanting angrily. "Your Highness, what are you doing?! How could you be so... "
Vulgar and shameless! Despicable!
Feng Yunshu never thought that she, an old cultivator of immortality, would be taken advantage of by a mortal! If this got out, if she ever became an immortal and met her master and other senior brothers one day, it would be a black mark in her history!
Helan Yanting also came back to his senses. Looking at Feng Yunshu who was so angry that she was almost jumping up and down, his expression gradually calmed down.
"You are my wife. I was just trying to strengthen our relationship. Why does my lady look so angry?"
Good, he's still pretending to be innocent!
"Didn't we clearly agree before that we would only have the name of husband and wife, not the reality! Your Highness, how could you go back on your word and attack me secretly?"
Helan Yanting blinked innocently. "Just now, my lady suddenly got so close. I thought my lady wanted to strengthen our relationship, so I did this."
"You, I..."
Good, so in the end I've lost both my wife and my troops again, right? He's really a sly old fox! This trick is really ruthless!
Forget it. There are more important things to do now and I can't waste any more time. I'll write this down in my black book for now.
"My lady, why is your face so red? Are you catching a cold and running a fever?"
Helan Yanting added another knife. Feng Yunshu tried hard to tell herself, "Endure it, I must endure it. If I can't endure the small things, I'll mess up the big plan!"
"Your Highness, are you all ready? It's getting late. We should go to the prime minister's mansion soon, or we'll miss lunch."
Helan Yanting hooked his lips and nodded with a faint smile. "I've prepared everything. My lady, don't worry. Let's go now."
The two of them took a carriage together and headed in the direction of the prime minister's mansion. Along the way, Feng Yunshu felt extremely aggrieved whenever she thought of what had just happened. But then she thought that she still had to solve Ziyuan's problem, so she had to endure her discomfort and discuss it with Helan Yanting.
"Your Highness, to be honest, I have an important matter to handle when I go to the prime minister's mansion this time."
"Oh? What matter does my lady need to handle? You might as well tell me. Maybe I can help you solve it."
"This matter really needs your help..."
Feng Yunshu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Helan Yanting her plan.
"Your Highness, when we get to the prime minister's mansion, you'll..."
After Helan Yanting heard her plan, his face froze for a few seconds.
Seeing Helan Yanting's reaction, Feng Yunshu was worried that he wouldn't agree to cooperate with her. "Your Highness, don't worry. The medicine I'll give you later is absolutely reliable! It won't cause you any trouble!"
"My lady, do you really have to use this method?"
Helan Yanting silently looked up at Feng Yunshu, looking a bit embarrassed.
Feng Yunshu frowned slightly. Actually, this method was something she had come up with after much difficulty. It was indeed not the best way, but she thought it would definitely be effective.
Using this method could not only strike at the arrogance of Feng Manshu and the first wife, but also bring Ziyuan out openly. Maybe they could even get some money.
Such a win - win - win thing, why not do it? It's just that Helan Yanting would have to suffer a bit.
When Feng Yunshu first came up with this method, she was a bit hesitant, feeling a bit sorry for Helan. But judging from the sly old fox's performance just now, her hesitation was completely unnecessary.
"Your Highness, didn't you just say that as long as I ask, you'll help me solve it? Now only Your Highness can do this. Do you really want to let me go away disappointed?"
As she said this, Feng Yunshu pouted aggrievedly and pretended to wipe away her tears.
"Ziyuan is not just an ordinary maid to me. She's more like my own sister. I heard that she's been wronged in the prime minister's mansion. I feel so heart - broken. If I can't bring her by my side, I won't be able to sleep at night..."
Feng Yunshu was just pretending to be aggrieved at first, but as she was speaking, perhaps because she was too involved in her emotions, a crystal - clear tear actually fell.
A beam of light shone in through the carriage curtain, reflecting off the tear on her cheek. This light fell into Helan Yanting's eyes and turned into silent heartache.
Helan Yanting took out a handkerchief from his front robe and reached out to wipe the tear from her face. However, Feng Yunshu was really scared of him. Thinking that he was going to do something improper again, she subconsciously shrank back.
As a result, with a "bang", the back of her head hit the crossbar behind. It hurt so much that she gasped. She felt like she had a concussion.
Helan Yanting frowned tightly. He pulled her over to his side and gently rubbed the back of her head with his big palm. "Did you hurt yourself? You're such a big person but still act like a child. How could you be so careless?"
