When I opened my eyes again, I was already lying on the bed in the bedroom.

It was bright outside, as if it was almost noon, and I couldn't quite remember how I got home last night.

I lay in bed for a while and felt a severe pain in my eyes.

Just as I was about to sit up, I heard someone come in. It was Caiyin.

"Princess, you're awake now. Do you feel any discomfort? Do you need me to ask the court doctor to come and take a look?" Caiyin looked at me worriedly.

I shook my head slowly, "I'm fine, don't bother."

"Then I will help you wash up..."

"I want to take a hot spring bath." I said blankly.

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away."

I don’t know what benefits Wujiu gave to those palace maids that he put them in my hot spring.

After he came in, he stepped into the water without saying a word, walked to my side and sat next to me.

Normally, I would have stared at him for a long time, or even made a few mischievous comments, but I was kind not to slap him in the face.

"All the assassins died last night, not a single one was left alive. Princess, don't you find it strange? Normally, for something like this, shouldn't we interrogate the mastermind behind the murder?"

"You should tell this to Steward Zhou, who is in charge of all matters in the palace. I am just a waste with the title of princess." I closed my eyes and leaned my head on the rock behind me.

"Now that we are husband and wife, the princess's affairs are my affairs. If you want to know the truth, I will investigate it for you." Wujiu's voice was seductive.

"Do whatever you want. But don't use me as an excuse." I sneered, "What husband and wife are one? That's all bullshit!"

Even though I scolded him like this, Wu Jiu did not show any anger. Instead, he chuckled and said, "I know the princess is still angry with me, so I came to apologize."

Suddenly I felt something touching me underwater, and I immediately became alert. When I opened my eyes, I saw Wujiu coming towards me. His hands were underwater, and I couldn't see what he was doing.

I grabbed his neck, a little angry, and used a little force, "Since you know I'm still angry, don't take the initiative to deliver it to me, otherwise I don't know what I will do!"

His skin was originally fair, and after being in the hot spring pool for a while, his whole body turned a little pink. At this moment, he was pinched by me so hard that he couldn't breathe, and his whole face turned red rapidly. However, he still had to put on a flattering smile and let me do whatever I wanted.

It was as if they knew for sure that I would be soft-hearted, and that just a few nice words would make me easily forgive those who had had evil thoughts towards me.

I reluctantly increased my force, and his face gradually turned purple, and he began to roll his eyes.

If I hold out a little longer, I might really strangle him to death in this hot spring, and then he would be charged with more than just murdering his husband. He is the king of Dayue, and in the eyes of the Yuexi people, he is a being who can communicate with gods.

This feeling of control makes people excited and happy at first, but in fact it can also make people confused.

I let go of my hand, and he suddenly took a deep breath as if he was alive again, and then he started to cough violently, with tears in his eyes, and he didn't forget to say in a disgusting way, "I knew you wouldn't want to kill me."

"Get away! Don't bother me!" I turned my back, not wanting to look at him again.

But he came up to me shamelessly and put his arms around my waist, "I won't leave. I want to be with you and stay by your side forever."

I don’t know if he said this on purpose or it was just a coincidence, but hearing this now is like touching a sore spot for me, and it only adds fuel to the fire.

In the end, Wujiu left the hot spring first with a bruised face and nose. I don't think he deserved it at all.

Later that day, Manager Zhou came to see me. "I heard that the princess and her husband...had a fight?"

"What did others tell you?" I asked coldly.

"No one dares to say anything. If the princess feels that the prince consort is not satisfactory, she can just let the subordinates do the work. Why bother to do it personally..." As he said this, he held up my palm, as if he was admiring some treasure, and did not hide the lust in his eyes. "It would be bad if the princess's body was hurt."

"I'm in a bad mood. Please have dinner with me, sir." I pulled my hand out of his.

He nodded his head and agreed, a smile on his lips.

But after I asked the palace servants to put the dishes on the table, I waved to him. He thought I wanted him to sit next to him, so he motioned for everyone else to leave. When he and I were the only ones left in the room, he sat next to me and said, "I will serve the dishes for the princess."

I held down his hand that was about to take the chopsticks and shook my head, "Your place is not here."

He looked up at me with a hint of doubt, but I continued, "Down there."

I kicked my dress, and kicked the shoes that were barely hanging on my feet far away. He understood my hint, and obediently knelt under the table, crawled to my feet, and served me wholeheartedly.

I drank only one bowl of soup, then leaned back in my chair and sighed comfortably.

When he crawled out from under the table, he asked me as usual, "Is the princess satisfied?"

I filled his bowl with soup from my empty bowl and handed it to him. "This soup is quite delicious. Try it."

He took it, scooped a spoonful into his mouth with a spoon, tasted it and nodded in agreement.

I leaned forward, held his lips and licked the soup clean before separating from him. "Isn't it sweet and delicious? Very tasty?"

"Yes, it's delicious."

I reached out and stroked his cheek, my thumb rubbing from the corner of his lips to the beads of his lips, "I'm really scared about what happened last night, Twelve, you will protect me, right?"

"Of course, protecting the princess is my duty."

I moved and sat on his lap. "If there is a scene like last night in the future, will you still protect me?"

"No more..." He answered subconsciously, and he realized that he had made a mistake, so he immediately changed his words, "I will naturally protect the princess all the time."

I gave him a bright and innocent smile, threw my arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek.

The meal didn't take long. I didn't touch many of the dishes. After everyone left, I asked the palace maids to clean up. "You can share and eat. They are all untouched and clean."

"Thank you for the reward, Princess."

Then I returned to the inner hall with a calm expression. I was sure that the man in black last night was sent by Jiang Huan. He must have endured the matter of the mute slave for a long time. I don't want to know the details and I'm too lazy to check them. I'll just pretend that I'm stupid and don't know anything.

Even in the palace, I did not slack off in my training. Ning Huozhu was better at external martial arts, so he taught me the basics and assisted me in physical training. Although he did not quite understand what I meant by doing push-ups on the ground, the principles of martial arts training were the same, and after teaching him once, he practiced more vigorously than I did.

The next day Tianhe taught me how to learn internal martial arts. In his words, I am now like a treasure mountain without knowing how to use it. Internal martial arts and breathing exercises are only the entry stage. It's like a three-year-old child holding a 40-meter-long sword. It has power but no strength to control it.

After being quiet for a few days, Wujiu started to find various excuses to stick to me.

He saw me learning Kung Fu from someone else and pestered me to teach me Gu Shu. I smiled contemptuously and said, "I don't need you to teach me."
