“Hey, you —” Feng Xun ran off before Feng Wu could ask any questions.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Once again, she was left alone in the cold wind, but she had a question now.
From what Feng Xun said, what was the thing that Jun Linyuan was supposed to tell her but hadn’t?
She headed back with the question in her head, and before she knew it, she had gone back to Jun Linyuan’s tent.
In the royal procession, only three people’s tents had courtyards, and needless to say, one of them was Jun Linyuan.
Feng Wu ran into him as soon as she walked into the yard.
Their eyes met.
Jun Linyuan’s eyes were so deep and bright that they reminded her of the sky lit up at night. She felt mesmerized.
Her heart sped up, and she looked away involuntarily, avoiding Jun Linyuan’s eyes.
However, Jun Linyuan kept staring at her with his dark, brooding eyes. His gaze was intense and meaningful.
“Ahem —”
Crossing her hands behind her back, Feng Wu straightened her back and stared at Jun Linyuan proudly. “Feng Xun dragged me back!”
Her meaning was that she hadn’t wanted to come back herself.
The crown prince looked at her and asked, “Where is he?”
“Well…” Looking around, Feng Wu couldn’t see Feng Xun anywhere, and she wanted to kick the guy in the butt.
The crown prince smiled slightly. “You dishonest girl.”
Feng Wu glared at him. “Feng Xun really did drag me back! I didn’t want to come back here!”
He glanced at Feng Wu and went back inside without saying another word.
Feng Wu smacked her head. How embarrassing!
“Master, Master, please don’t forget the seventh trial,” the fairy reminded her in her head.
Feng Wu nodded. “I know.”
She had indeed come back, but she despaired at the thought of the trial.
She had to provoke Jun Linyuan until he was 100% angry. What would she have to do to make him that mad?
In the light of a candle, Feng Wu sat at the table with her chin in her hands and was lost in thought…
Knock, knock —
There was a knock at the door.
“Come in —” Feng Wu turned her head in the direction of the door.
It was Granny Gong.
She smiled at Feng Wu when she saw her.
Feng Wu had already left a good impression on her. After Feng Wu saved the empress dowager, Granny Gong was even more fond of her, and in her mind, Feng Wu was already the future wife of the crown prince.
“Miss Wu, please come with me.” Granny Gong took Feng Wu’s hand and led her toward the door.
Feng Wu was confused. “Granny Gong, what’s going on?”
Granny Gong smiled. “His Royal Highness is a little hungry, so please come to the kitchen with me. You don’t need to make anything complicated in the middle of the night. Some noodles will do.”
“Are you saying I have to cook now?” Feng Wu asked quietly.
Granny Gong nodded. “That’s right. His Royal Highness loves your cooking and has gotten used to it during this trip. You’re our only hope now.”
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up.
She had been playing the obedient and docile maid all along, taking care of Jun Linyuan’s food and his daily life. If she turned him down now, what would Jun Linyuan do?
He was bound to get angry!
Of course Feng Wu wouldn’t miss such a great chance.
Glancing at the candlelit tent a short distance away, she raised her voice deliberately and said, “Granny Gong, I’m so sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t do that…”
