Princess Yongning was stared at by Yang Ning's faint eyes. She couldn't help but shudder a few times and subconsciously hugged her body tightly. Yang Ning's eyes made her realize that the "delay strategy" just now was not successful.

"What do you want?" Princess Yongning's lips turned white and her voice trembled.

Looking at the girl's wet and thin body, shivering in the cold wind of the autumn night, Yang Ning's eyes softened.

Maybe after coming to this era, especially after entering the palace, influenced by the environment and customs of this era, I have some more discordant factors in my thinking. However, I should always keep in mind: after all, I come from that era full of advanced ideas.

In the 21st century of civilization and culture, at any moment, we cannot drown some precious things in the dark torrent of this era!

"Princess, I am just a eunuch who manages this royal garden, not an assassin!" Yang Ning tried to defend herself.

Princess Yongning remained silent, obviously not believing Yang Ning's explanation. However, she felt a lot more at ease in her heart, because since the person in front of her opened her mouth to defend herself, it meant that she no longer had the intention to kill her.

"Not long after I entered the palace, I turned out to be on duty at the Siyuan Bureau in the outer city and was transferred to the Royal Garden a few days ago. If the princess doesn't believe it, you can ask Wu Decai, the eunuch in charge of the Siyuan Bureau, or Teng Xiang, the general manager of the inner palace. They both

You can vouch for me!"

"Are you really a eunuch?" Princess Yongning had a strange look of surprise on her face.

Yang Ning was a little surprised by Princess Yongning's expression, but she continued to explain: "Yes! Originally, I couldn't sleep tonight because I wanted to sit in Fubi Pavilion for a while, but I saw you coming not long after I arrived. I was afraid of being scared.

I was looking at you, and I thought you didn’t come to the pavilion, so I didn’t say anything. Who knew you would..., princess, I am really not an assassin, and I offended you unintentionally. Please forgive me!"

Although Yang Ning was begging for mercy, there was not much fear in Yang Ning's tone.

When Yang Ning said "offended", Princess Yongning's face suddenly turned red for no reason.

"Hmph! I want to spare you, but you are still lying! If you are really the eunuch in this palace, why don't you kneel down when you see me? Why don't you call yourself a 'slave' when you talk to me? What's more, even though you don't stop

You defend yourself, but there is not much fear in your expression. It is clear that you are not afraid of me at all! Based on these three points, do you still dare to say that you are the eunuch of this palace?"

These points really made Princess Yongning talk about it. Since Yang Ning entered the palace, she rarely calls herself a "slave" in her words, and she has no sense of kneeling down to be a slave.

Even if he collided with a rich princess this time, Yang Ning was mainly worried that Xiang Zhong would be implicated. He himself was not afraid. The worst he could do was die! Maybe he would meet the old man who saved Tianzun on the road to hell.

Wouldn't it be great to send yourself to the Qing Dynasty to become emperor?

"Princess, I have only been in the palace for less than a month, and I am really not used to kneeling down and calling myself a 'slave'. As for whether I am afraid..., now that something has happened, there is no point in being afraid. Whether it is intentional or not, since

I, Yang Ning, have no complaints against the princess this time. I want to kill or chop her into pieces. I just ask the princess not to offend anyone else. Xiang Zhong is innocent!"

"Your name is Yang Ning! Who is Xiang Zhong?" Princess Yongning suddenly asked.

Yang Ning was stunned and replied casually: "Xiang Zhong is the little eunuch who manages the imperial garden with me. He is honest and honest. What happened tonight has nothing to do with him. I hope the princess will not involve him!"

"You are a very loyal person! But what happened tonight has nothing to do with Xiang Zhong in the first place. Of course I will not implicate him. It's just——!" Princess Yongning stopped talking.

"Just what?" Yang Ning asked strangely.

Princess Yongning's face became hot, she turned her head away and said, "Oh, no, it's nothing!"

"Then what are you going to do with me, princess?"

"I—I haven't thought about it yet!" Princess Yongning said absentmindedly.

"Um?"

Yang Ning was a little surprised, and she was also very happy: it seems that Princess Yongning's character is much kinder and easy-going than expected. Maybe, she will not be like her unscrupulous brother, who is always willing to kill people. This time, she

Maybe he won’t die!

"Princess, what to do with me is tomorrow's matter. Now the autumn cold dew is heavy, the ground is wet, and the princess is soaked. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please return to the palace as soon as possible to avoid catching a cold!"

Yang Ning's words were sincere. She was soaked all over, and the autumn wind was cold. Not to mention a delicate body like Princess Yongning, even Yang Ning herself began to shiver.

Princess Yongning hesitated. The wet dress and the cold ground had already made her very uncomfortable. However, she was concerned that the soaked clothes stuck to her body and it would be extremely indecent to stand up, so she did not stand up.

Yang Ning also realized this, cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave first and wait for the princess to deal with you tomorrow!" After saying that, he turned and left.

"oops!"

Yang Ning had not taken a few steps when she heard Princess Yongning groaning in pain behind her.

"What's wrong, princess?" Yang Ning hurriedly turned around, only to see Princess Yongning sitting on the ground covering her left ankle.

"My feet... hurt...!" Princess Yongning had tears in her eyes.

"Let me take a look!" Yang Ning leaned forward to check the injury on Princess Yongning's foot.

"No, no, don't touch me...!" Princess Yongning instinctively shrank her feet, trying to stop Yang Ning.

"Princess, don't move around, you must have sprained your foot! Let me take a look at the injury. If you hurt the bones, you may be disabled for life if you move around again!" Yang Ning didn't care about anything else, and lifted up the mask.

The left foot of Princess Yongning’s dress and trousers.

Princess Yongning might have been frightened by Yang Ning's words, fearing that she would be permanently disabled, so she didn't dare to move anymore, but her face turned red with embarrassment!

Under the moonlight, Princess Yongning's jade-like skin was particularly dazzling. Yang Ning's heart swayed for a while, and he quickly concentrated on observing her ankles, which were already somewhat red and swollen.

I want to confirm whether the injury has damaged the bones. According to Yang Ning's level of inexperience, it can't be seen just by looking.

"Princess, please forgive me for being rude!"

Yang Ning reached out and pinched Princess Yongning's ankle. Thanks to his 21st century thinking, he was far less aware of the difference between men and women than people of this era, and he didn't realize that the person in front of him was a woman.

The extremely noble princess of the day!

"ah!"

Princess Yongning let out a short moan. Yang Ning should have pinched her in pain, but the sound was definitely arousing people's imagination! Princess Yongning's pretty face turned even redder!

"Hey, you're so lucky! The princess's ankle was just twisted and no bones were injured. She should be fine after rubbing some medicinal wine and massaging it... Hey! Why is the princess's face so red?" Yang Ning then noticed that Princess Yongning's face was so red.

Like a ripe apple.

"No, no, no!" Princess Yongning muttered.

"Oh, I understand, the princess is shy! Hehe, actually, there is no need for the princess to be shy. Don't forget, princess, I am a eunuch and a chamberlain. There is absolutely nothing wrong with serving the women in the inner palace!" Yang Ning began

Use your status as a "eunuch" as an excuse.

Princess Yongning said nothing, but looked at Yang Ning with a strange expression.

Yang Ning didn't pay attention and continued: "Princess, although you have no broken bones, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk! How about -, I will carry you back?"

Thinking of the soft body of this fragrant and beautiful princess in the water, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel: If you don't take advantage of it, you are an absolute bastard!

"No! You - you can only help me back!" Princess Yongning immediately refused.

Yang Ning was a little disappointed: this princess was too shy, and she was even embarrassed to be a "eunuch" like herself!

Lifting Princess Yongning's soft body, Yang Ning could not help but sniff hard as a girl's unique fragrance spread to her nose.

Since Princess Yongning could not bear any force on one of her feet, Yang Ning could only put one of her arms around his neck. Unfortunately, Princess Yongning was shorter than him, so Yang Ning had to bend her waist. This posture was very uncomfortable.

It's awkward.

After walking for a while, Yang Ning became impatient, so she simply hugged Princess Yongning with her left hand and lifted her right hand into her arms.

"Ah! You, what are you doing!" Princess Yongning said hurriedly.

"It's too tiring to hold you up, and you won't let me carry you, so I might as well carry you back!" Yang Ning replied with a smile.

Princess Yongning seemed to have adapted to Yang Ning's boldness. Knowing that resistance was futile, she glared at him and said, "This is the first time I have seen such a bold slave like you!"

As she spoke, Princess Yongning's face turned bright red and became even more stunning, causing Yang Ning's heart to throb. She hurriedly raised her head and moved forward with concentration.

The "Funing Palace" where Princess Yongning lives is not far from the Imperial Garden. It is just a short walk past several palace courtyards and corridors.

"You, put me down and just... go back. I'll just ask someone to help me in!" Princess Yongning said softly.

Yang Ning knew that she was afraid of being seen by the eunuchs and maids in her palace, so he reluctantly put her down gently.

"Take care, princess, I'll take my leave!"

Princess Yongning lowered her head and remained silent.

"Princess, please don't forget Yang Ning's request just now. If you want to punish me tomorrow, please punish me alone. Don't offend my friends!" Yang Ning was a little worried and reminded again.

Princess Yongning raised her head and glanced at Yang Ning with eyes as bright as stars, but she still remained silent.

Yang Ning sighed, turned and left.
