Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Yan Xining calmed himself down, trying to make his expression less awkward. He coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, you are drunk! We will have plenty of time to talk about these interesting things later. Your Highness is of noble status, so it is better not to stay overnight outside. It is not safe."

"No, it's okay, Jingfeng will protect this king's safety!"

Yan Xining looked at Jing Feng and signaled with his eyes: Why don’t you try to persuade him!

Jingfeng stood straight with his mouth tightly closed.

Chu Jinxun was still in high spirits and said, "It's rare to be carefree in life. Today, I hit it off with Master Ning. We must, must talk all night long!"

Yan Xining felt helpless.

Even if the frequent vomiting of blood was fake, his body wasn't that good either. Not only did he have a few drinks today, but now he was even staggering when he walked. She could understand the youthful spirit and recklessness of young people, but others were strong and had the capital to do so, but what about him?

She even had some doubts about whether this guy recognized him. Her disguise skills shouldn't make it easy for her to be recognized. After all, this face of his had never appeared in the palace before.

And he didn't act like he recognized me.

Is this just a case of him being drunk and crazy, dragging someone to sleep on the same bed with him and talk by candlelight at night?

But he didn't look drunk. Apart from his blurry eyes and clear speech, there was no difference except for a hint of stubbornness.

She didn't know whether to be angry or amused.

But he had to coax her gently: "Your Highness, if you wish, you can come again in the future, but you must not stay here overnight. I cannot guarantee your safety, even if you have guards by your side, I still feel uneasy. Why don't you go back first, and we can talk again next time we have a chance?"

Chu Jinxun stubbornly shook his head, still clinging to his sleeve. "Brother Ning, do you think I'm too incompetent and shallow, and that's why you want to drive me away?"

"Of course not!"

"So you think I'm annoying? Not only did you come uninvited, but you're also refusing to leave?"

"No, it's an honor for Zhuangyuanlou to have His Highness come to it."

"Then why are you chasing me away? I've already told you that you don't have to worry about my safety!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward with his head slightly lowered, his eyes were doubtful, clear, confused, and a little hurt. On his handsome and impeccable face, there was something clean enough to make people soften their hearts, and so cute that it made people feel guilty.

His voice suddenly became sad. "Brother Ning, you, you don't know, I've never had any friends in my life. Today, Brother Ning and I got along really well. I thought, I thought Brother Ning also considered me a friend..."

Yan Xining suddenly felt that whatever she said seemed cruel.

What's wrong with the child? He's simply been tortured by the congenital fetal toxicity since childhood, living in isolation and rarely getting close to others!

If she refused again, it would seem too inhumane.

But if I agree to it, it would be inappropriate.

Seeing Yan Xining remained silent, Chu Jinxun brushed off his previous injury, took her arm, and said with a smile, "Brother Ning, I'll take this as your agreement. Today we'll travel together arm in arm and sleep with our feet touching. Come on, Brother Ning, take me to visit your residence!"

Yan Xining said softly: "I'm sorry!"

She tapped Chu Jinxun lightly on the back of his neck, and Chu Jinxun immediately fell down.

Jingfeng: “……!!”

Before he could be surprised, Yan Xining pushed Chu Jinxun in front of him and said, "Hurry up and take your prince back to rest. It's spring and the dew is heavy. His body is not suitable for staying outside for too long."

Jingfeng supported the man and turned to look at Yan Xining with a sharp gaze.

Yan Xining spread her hands: "I didn't hurt him, I just let him fall asleep first. My place is simple and unsafe. Only by using this method can I make the prince willing to return home. Please bear with me!"

Jing Feng spoke slowly: "If the prince is angry, Master Ning will bear the consequences himself!"

"Your Highness is a sensible man. He will understand once he sobers up. Goodbye!"

Jingfeng said no more and left with Chu Jinxun.

The carriage of the palace was parked outside, and four guards were guarding the carriage. Jingfeng took Chu Jinxun over, helped him into the carriage, and then jumped onto the shaft.

Chu Jinxun rubbed the back of his neck and muttered, "That's such a rough hit!" He turned over, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After sending the person away, Yan Xining breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the shopkeeper and his waiters had already cleaned up the small garden.

She gave the shopkeeper a few instructions and left.

The guy drank some alcohol, and she didn't know if it would conflict with the toxins in his body. She decided to go back and check.

She flew onto the rooftop in a secluded spot, took the shortest route across the rooftops, and landed in a courtyard near Prince An's mansion. She walked into the house. When she reappeared, her clothes and appearance had changed.

Still dressed as a man, but different from "Ning Yan".

He returned to Prince An's Mansion even earlier than Chu Jinxun.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Jinxun also came back.

When he saw Yan Xining coming out to greet him at the gate of Qiyun Courtyard, Chu Jinxun tried hard to raise his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the smiling girl.

He seemed a little bit unbelieving of his eyes, but also very happy, and walked towards Yan Xining.

Perhaps he was too drunk, and he seemed to stumble a little when he walked: "Xining, you're here!"

He walked closer, grinning from ear to ear, "I met a friend today, and I even drank!"

"You can drink moderately, but don't overdo it!"

"Yeah!" Chu Jinxun nodded with a very obedient expression.

"Let me help you into the house!" Yan Xining accidentally saw Bao Yishi hurriedly walking not far away.

Chu Jinxun looked down at her and smiled: "Okay!"

His eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and the way he looked at her was so gentle that it seemed like there were ripples on water.

Yan Xining was a little suspicious. Was he drunk?

But it's cute this way.

After helping the person into the house and away from all the gazes outside, Yan Xining let go of his hand.

She said, "I'll ask someone to make some hangover soup!"

"I'm not drunk!" Chu Jinxun pressed his forehead, "I don't want sobering soup." He pointed to the stool beside him: "Sit, sit here, I'll tell you a secret!"

When Yan Xining raised her eyes, she found that they were the only two people in the room. Jingfeng had left at some point.

She said, "Don't tell me, I'm afraid you'll regret it when you sober up!"

Chu Jinxun didn't say anything, just looked at her steadily.

Yan Xining had no choice but to sit down. Her soft hair slid down from her shoulders, gleaming softly in the candlelight.

Chu Jinxun came closer and whispered, "Can I take you to catch ghosts?"

Yan Xining: “……?”

Is the topic jumping around so much?

It’s true that drunken talk shouldn’t be listened to.

Seeing her like this, Chu Jinxun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly childish smile: "Why? You don't believe it? I'm not lying to you. There's a Zhuangyuan Building on the street of Gongyuan. It's haunted. But no one knows. Let's make a net and sprinkle it with black dog blood. We'll definitely catch it!"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Wasn't it sold earlier because of the haunting?" Chu Jinxun rubbed his eyes, but his tone was serious and solemn, "The owner of that restaurant, Mr. Ning, and I get along very well. That ghost is always there, it's not a good thing. You never know when he might scare away all the customers. So I want to help my friend."

Yan Xining didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There are no ghosts in this world. The so-called ghosts are just man-made. You should take a good rest and don't worry about those things."

"You're right, it's all man-made, so I'm going to find that person. Then Mr. Ning will definitely be willing to have candlelight conversations with me and sleep with me!"

Chu Jinxun's eyes were sparkling and he looked full of longing.
