Chapter 392 He is a good person
"Huan'er, A Jin is guarding the door, you don't need to be so cautious."
When Prince Guo saw that Zhen Huan did not show any shyness at all, he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Ever since he learned that the concubine Zhen had a striking resemblance in her eyes and eyebrows to the Empress Chunyuan, whom the emperor was obsessed with, Prince Guo had developed an indescribable interest in this person.
He has always been at ease among women, but Zhen always makes him feel an unprecedented sense of frustration from time to time.
Whenever he felt that Zhen's heart seemed to be loosening, some unforeseen changes would occur, causing Zhen to quickly retreat.
Aunt Jiyun, who was by my mother's side, once privately suggested using dishonorable means to take Zhen's body first. Prince Guo did not want to force a weak woman, so he rejected this method.
Did he care about Zhen Shi as Ye Lan Yi said?
In order to confirm Ye Lanyi's words, Prince Guo slowly raised his hand.
Seeing this, Zhen Huan stepped back, cleverly avoiding Prince Guo's actions.
"Your Highness, my past identity is ultimately a hidden danger. I have already caused Concubine Jin to misunderstand me. I cannot bring any more trouble to Your Highness."
"Mo Chou invited His Majesty here today to ask if there is any news from Ningguta?"
Prince Guo shook his head in the face of her expectant gaze.
"Huan'er, Ningguta is a long way from the capital, and sending messages by carrier pigeon is bound to go awry. As soon as I receive any news from there, I will inform you as soon as possible."
"I have some good news to share with you. I used my connections to find out the list of people who died in last year's snowstorm reported by Ningguta, and there's no record of the Zhen family on it."
"Mochou thanks the prince for his help."
Upon hearing this, the corners of Zhen Huan's mouth rose slightly.
She gratefully poured a glass of wine for Prince Guo and handed it to him with both hands.
"Your Majesty, Huan'er expresses her gratitude to you in this glass of wine. Please drink."
Prince Guo also poured her a glass.
Zhen Huan, in a good mood, did not refuse. At A Jin's suggestion, Cai Rui brought another large pot of wine.
This time she learned her lesson and stuffed the wine jug into A Jin's arms, then turned around and ran to the kitchen to add more food.
"Your Majesty, Madam Zhen, I see that the weather is quite chilly. Would you mind having a few more drinks to warm yourselves?"
A Jin didn't give Zhen Huan a chance to speak and continued to persuade her.
"Madam Zhen, the Concubine Dowager invited the Prince to dinner today, but as soon as the news of your illness reached him, the Prince immediately mounted his horse and rushed over."
"Please, considering the master's infatuation, drink a few more cups with him."
"The master was forced by the emperor to marry Concubine Ye, and he felt very miserable. He often carried your portrait..."
"Ah Jin, stop talking nonsense and get down quickly."
Prince Guo drove them away with a sullen face.
After A Jin left, he apologized and poured Zhen Huan another glass of wine.
"Huan'er, you don't have to take A Jin's words to heart. I just like you one-sidedly. I only regret that we met at the wrong time. If you were not married yet, I..."
"Your Highness, I was mistreated when I entered the palace. That was not marriage at all. Huan'er does not want to make any judgments about the past. Come, I offer you a toast."
Zhen Huan raised her glass and drank the large glass of fruit wine in one gulp.
The humiliation she had suffered in the palace once again came to her mind, and Zhen Huan felt a pain as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She is a flesh-and-blood person, why should she be treated as someone else's substitute?
Zhen Huan drank glass after glass of fruit wine mixed with strong liquor, and when she felt dizzy, she held a hand and cried.
"Shiro, have you ever given me any place in your heart?"
Then she muttered to herself again.
"Forget it. I am a pure cultivator. Why would I be involved in worldly affairs?"
"Longyue, I'm sorry..."
"Father, Mother, Yuyao, are you all okay?"
"..."
Prince Guo felt a tightness in his heart as he heard the names coming out of Zhen Huan's mouth one after another.
She didn't even hear her own name until she lay on the table without saying a word.
Unwilling to give up, Prince Guo gently pushed Zhen Huan and whispered a reminder.
"How is Yunli?"
Zhen Huan, feeling dizzy, did not wave away the annoying hand and mumbled incoherently.
"Yunli is a good man, I..."
"how are you?"
Prince Guo asked anxiously.
"Huan'er..."
It was a pity that no matter how he called out, the person lying on the table didn't move at all.
After hearing the shallow breathing, Prince Guo withdrew his hand in disappointment.
He took the wine jug placed next to Zhen Huan and drank cup after cup.
When Ah Jin walked in carrying the hot pot that Cai Rui had handed him, he saw the two masters in the main room, one lying and the other sitting.
With a bitter face, he put the tray on the table and snatched the wine jug from Prince Guo.
"My master, the Dowager Queen has repeatedly warned you not to drink."
"The Queen Mother said that if I fail to take good care of you, I will be held responsible."
A Jin is Prince Guo's confidant, and he vaguely knows something about the arrangements made by the two masters for Ye Lan Yi.
If he hadn't gotten a stomachache at the garden's night banquet, Ye Lanyi wouldn't have been able to get close to the master.
Although the two masters did not punish him afterwards, A Jin knew that he had made a big mistake.
"Ah Jin, I'm fine. Go ask the kitchen to bring some hangover soup."
Prince Guo pushed the person out with shaking hands.
"Huan'er's identity cannot be exposed. Remember not to let anyone in."
"Master, I will go right away."
A Jin was worried, so he took the wine jug away before leaving.
He didn't see Cai Rui outside the door, so he had to go to the kitchen himself.
Not long after he left, Cai Rui, holding her stomach and cursing, approached the courtyard gate.
"This damn cool breeze, just a few breaths gave me a stomachache."
Not seeing A Jin at the door, Cai Rui waited outside obediently.
Every time the prince came to visit Madam Yun, the Jin guards would serve him in the house, and she only had to wait outside the yard for his orders.
A strong wind blew and the gate of the courtyard opened with a bang.
Cai Rui, who was about to close the door, accidentally saw the two masters lying on the table in the main room. She took a few breaths and stepped into the yard cautiously.
Madam Yun could not fake her longing for the prince today. After much deliberation, she decided to help her master again.
So Cai Rui breathlessly helped Zhen Huan to the inner room, skillfully took off her clothes, buried her behind the quilt, and then went out to drag the dazed Prince Guo to the bed.
"Huan'er, I..."
Cai Rui gently put Prince Guo's hand back into the quilt, and thought to herself as she went out: It turns out that Madam Yun's maiden name is Huan'er, which is really nice.
Cai Rui, who had done something important, was afraid that others would disturb her two masters, so after closing the gate, she quietly waited outside the yard.
