Ruan Tang originally teased Chu Mu with the intention of watching the fun.
But his words, 'You're jealous', made him feel a strange feeling in his heart.
Especially when she saw those women casting admiring glances at Chu Mu again, she actually found it a bit annoying.
They may even think they are shameless.
After she was shocked by this, she couldn't help but frown tightly.
Is it true that she is jealous as Chu Mu said?
But she clearly doesn't love him.
Or is it because subconsciously, she already feels that he is hers? Ruan Tang was suddenly frightened by his shameless idea.
How could he be hers? They just had an agreement, and this relationship was about to end.
Ruan Tang counted on his fingers and found that it was less than a month.
This was obviously what she was looking forward to, but for some reason, she didn't seem very happy this time, and even a little disappointed.
She couldn't help but glanced sideways at Chu Mu again.
At this moment, he was talking to an official next to him.
If he is no longer by her side in the future, if there is another woman by his side in the future, if all the good things he does to her are given to another woman...
Ruan Tang suddenly found that it seemed a little difficult for him to accept it.
"I must have gotten used to him during this period, and he will be fine when I leave." Ruan Tang comforted himself in his heart.
She lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him, but she felt depressed in her heart, as if something couldn't be relieved.
She looked at the bottle of wine on his table.
Just as she reached out to take it, Chu Mu's hand reached out and held her wrist.
"You can't drink."
Ruan Tang raised his eyes and met his gaze unexpectedly.
Chu Mu's eyes were soft, but there was a hint of warning in them.
It was just a very sparse and ordinary look at each other, and they usually had this kind of look.
But at this moment, Ruan Tang felt that his cheeks were hot, and the place where his hand was held was also extremely hot.
The heart was also beating violently.
She seemed to be frightened, so she shook Chu Mu's hand away, and then hurriedly lowered her eyes.
"If you don't drink...you won't drink. No one cares." Ruan Tang's voice was trembling and panicked.
And before Chu Mu could say anything, she stood up and said, "I have to go to the toilet."
Without saying a word, she turned and left.
Chu Mu thought it was because he was being irritated by not giving her a drink.
But thinking that she was not familiar with the palace, she quickly waved to Dong Zhan who was standing on duty not far away.
Dongzhan walked quickly to his side and said, "Your Highness."
"It's convenient for Miss Ruan. Find a palace maid to take her there. You can follow her and protect her at all times."
Dong Zhan received the order, turned around and followed Ruan Tang in the direction he left. He called a palace maid on the way and soon caught up with Ruan Tang.
"Miss Ruan, please follow this little palace maid."
Ruan Tang was momentarily flustered because of those weird feelings he had just now. He never thought that it was his first time to visit the palace and he was not familiar with it at all.
When she saw Dong Zhan, she knew he was sent by Chu Mu.
She nodded towards Dongzhan, "Thank you."
"Miss Ruan, there's no need to be polite. Go ahead and I'll follow you not far away. There's no need to worry about safety."
Ruan Tang nodded again before following the palace maid.
The palace maid on the road couldn't help but glance sideways at Ruan Tang.
She found out at the banquet that she was the servant next to King Ning.
At first, she lamented that Prince Ning's servant was really different, he was really pretty, but she never thought that she was a girl.
However, she did not dare to look at her too blatantly. The identity of the girl that Prince Ning could bring here must not be simple.
In about half a quarter of an hour, the palace maid took Ruan Tang to a house.
"Girl, this is Gong's room. You go in, I'll guard it for you outside."
"Okay, thank you."
After Ruan Tang thanked him, he opened the door and went in.
When he was outside, Ruan Tang was already prepared for the aroma inside, but he didn't expect that after he came in, there wasn't much of a smell here, but instead there was a smell of incense.
As expected of a palace, even the toilets are different.
Ruan Tang walked a few steps inside and saw a pit inside, which was also clean.
In this day and age, it is rare to see such a clean toilet, and this time her urination was resolved comfortably.
However, as soon as she stood up and put on her clothes, the voice of the little palace maid came from outside, "You can just come out after undressing. Your servant will go in and clean up."
Ruan Tang didn't have the nerve to ask her to come in and flush the toilet for him, "It doesn't matter, I'll just flush it myself."
But before she had time to fetch water to rinse, the door to the bride's room opened from the outside.
"Girl, please come as a slave."
Ruan Tang was a little embarrassed by her, but thinking that it might be the rules of the palace, she didn't say anything more and left silently.
The palace maid came out not long after, and then led Ruan Tang the way.
Although Dong Zhan said to follow, Ruan Tang looked around and didn't see him.
Thinking that he might be hiding in a corner, I didn't worry about it anymore.
She followed the palace maid towards the banquet, but when she was halfway there, she saw a familiar figure walking hurriedly on the garden corridor not far away.
She subconsciously walked a few steps faster, and when she got closer, she recognized Shen Qianyi through the dim light in the corridor.
She didn't notice him at the banquet just now.
She thought he hadn't come.
But he is not at the banquet right now, why is he here? And the direction he went was not the direction of the banquet.
Ruan Tang turned to the palace maid next to him and said, "You go ahead and do your work first. I'll take a walk here and I'll go back later."
The palace maid was a little embarrassed, and Ruan Tang continued, "Dongzhan's guards are following you here, you don't need to worry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dongzhan appeared immediately.
"Okay, you can go back." Dong Zhan also said to the palace maid.
The maid was blessed and left.
After the palace maid left, Ruan Tang hurriedly walked in the direction where he had just seen Shen Qianyi.
Dongzhan hurriedly followed suit.
"Miss Ruan, what are you going to do?"
"I found a suspicious person, let's go take a look."
Although Dongzhan didn't know who the suspicious person he was talking about was, this was a royal palace and there were patrolling guards everywhere, so no suspicious person could escape.
But Ruan Tang was his master's favorite, and he did not dare to disobey her, so he had no choice but to follow her towards the garden.
The two of them walked along the corridor until they stopped. Ruan Tang looked around and saw Shen Qianyi no longer.
"Lost you? He's obviously coming this way."
Dongzhan didn't know who she was going to follow, but he still held his breath and listened carefully.
After a while, he pointed in the northwest direction, "Maybe over there."
Ruan Tang looked at her doubtfully.
He immediately explained that my ears have been relatively easy to use since I was a child and I can hear sounds and identify locations.
Ruan Tang's eyes lit up and he walked in the direction he pointed without any hesitation.
Sure enough, Ruan Tang saw Shen Qianyi's figure in the distance before walking far, but he was standing steadily under a big tree at the moment, seemingly talking to someone, but after Ruan Tang watched for a long time, he also Who didn't see the person he was talking to?
Dongzhan took her closer and stood behind a rockery.
But the distance was still far, and Ruan Tang could hear nothing except Shen Qianyi's back.
She had no choice but to whisper to Dongzhan: "I can only rely on you. You have good ears. See if you can hear what they are saying?"
Dongzhan frowned. He could hear voices and argue, but from a distance, he could only hear voices, but the content of the words was more difficult for him.
But looking at Ruan Tang's expectant eyes, he didn't dare to refuse her, so he had to bite the bullet.
