Because Feng Wu was staring at him.
With his keen senses, he had been aware of Feng Wu’s gaze as soon as she woke up.
For some unknown reason, the girl kept staring at him, as if she was trying to solve a puzzle.
Under her gaze, the crown prince felt the temperature in his cheeks rise, and somehow, he was reminded of what he had seen in the bushes earlier.
But this time, the girl had Feng Wu’s face…
When he realized what was going on, Jun Linyuan felt like he had been struck by lightning.
What on earth was he thinking?
Thump!
Frustrated, Jun Linyuan smashed his fist on the table.
The impact sent all the memorials to the throne to the floor.
Feng Wu jumped at the noise as well.
“What’s wrong?” Before she knew it, Feng Wu had rushed over to Jun Linyuan’s side.
The memorials had fallen all over the floor, as if they were common letters.
But so many things were at stake in each and every one.
This was the political center of the empire, and the slightest change could have the greatest impact.
Feng Wu was even more confused when she saw how frustrated Jun Linyuan looked. “Jun Linyuan, you —”
However, the crown prince shoved Feng Wu to the side and marched out of the room. Before Feng Wu could say anything, Jun Linyuan was out of sight.
She was dumbfounded.
What on earth happened?
Feng Wu shook her head in resignation and couldn’t for the life of her think of an explanation, but she didn’t linger on the question.
She looked around and saw all the memorials scattered on the floor as if they were garbage. What a willful crown prince!
Crouching down, she picked up all the memorials, sorted them out, and put them back on the desk.
Just then —
There was a gentle tap on the door.
What?
Feng Wu was surprised.
She had been here at the crown prince’s residence many times, but she couldn’t recall anyone daring to disturb Jun Linyuan.
Certainly no one had dared knock on his door.
Feng Wu opened the door out of curiosity.
A beautiful young woman stood outside with a tray, which had a bowl on it. The content looked like…
Hm… was that white fungus soup with lotus seeds? Feng Wu remembered that Jun Linyuan hated sticky soup like this.
The girl wore the thinnest dress Feng Wu had ever seen. It consisted of a single layer of gauze, which did nothing to hide her curves.
“Your Royal…” Before Bixi could finish greeting the crown prince, she saw that the person in front of her was a girl.
While Feng Wu was looking her up and down, she was doing the same.
“You —” Bixi reacted first, and she was full of jealousy when she stared at Feng Wu.
She was so beautiful!
Her beauty was stunning, not to mention her fair skin was impeccable.
She was still young and hadn’t reached her potential, but her innocence reminded one of the spring sun, the morning dew, and the beauty of life.
Bixi was very displeased.
She glared at Feng Wu. “Who are you, and what are you doing here?! Aren’t all maids forbidden to come here to the study? How did you get in?!”
Bixi’s eyes lit up when she saw the memorials in Feng Wu’s hands, and she yelled, “Guards! Guards! There’s an assassin here! Come here!”
Security was the top priority in the crown prince’s residence, and there were guards everywhere.
Therefore, hearing Bixi’s cry —
