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

The stone flew out and smashed against Yan Xining's forehead, accompanied by a harsh but weak scolding. The voice was very low: "No matter who you are, leave quickly! This is the princess's yard, don't even think about ruining the princess's reputation!"

Bingyu's heart was about to jump out of her chest at this time.

She never expected to see a man climbing into the princess's yard.

If someone sees it, won’t the princess’ reputation be ruined?

She was very scared, worried about being seen by others and worried that the man would hurt the princess, so she had to drive him away. Although she knew that she might not be able to beat someone who could climb over the wall.

But as the princess's maid, isn't it her responsibility to protect the princess? Even if it means death, she can't let this person stay.

The stone missed and was dodged.

She was terrified, but she still rushed forward: "If you don't leave, I'm going to call for help!"

"Bingyu, it's me!" A clear and familiar voice sounded.

Bingyu stopped in her tracks. The person standing in front of her was clearly a man, but the voice belonged to the princess.

Yan Xining was helpless. She didn't expect to run into Bingyu. This silly girl looked anxious and was about to cry. She was shaking with fear, but she still rushed over regardless and tried to stop her.

Bingyu rubbed her eyes, full of suspicion, with a dull expression: "Princess?"

"Well, it's me!"

Bingyu's lips moved, a mixture of relief and confusion. She had been so frightened just now! But she didn't dare ask.

Yan Xining said in a gentle voice: "Since you saw it, I won't hide it from you. I'm out on business, and the identity of a princess is not suitable. I just disguised myself appropriately!"

"Princess Wang, princess, you, you, climb over the wall!"

"Why are you stuttering?" Yan Xining chuckled. "I grew up in the countryside. Country people don't have the rules of those ladies from the capital. Isn't it normal to climb over a wall or a tree?"

Bingyu was a little dazed. The wall of the courtyard was so high. The princess's country house was so impressive.

"You are the only one who knows about my changing clothes and going out at Qingwuyuan. Don't tell anyone else!"

After confirming that it was Yan Xining, Bingyu breathed a sigh of relief, her entire body relaxed, and she nodded vigorously immediately: "Yes, I know, I will keep it a secret!"

Yan Xining walked past her and said, "Prepare some water. I want to take a bath!" Then he went into the room to change clothes.

Bingyu responded crisply, "Yes! I'll prepare it right away."

The bathtub was ready, Bingyu sprinkled flower petals on it, and asked the maid to pour warm water into it, and the lingering fragrance filled the air.

The clothes that the princess would wear were also prepared. After sending away the maid, Bingyu, she said to Yan Xining, who had removed her hairpins and let her embroidered hair loose, "Princess, the water is ready. I will help you bathe!"

She lowered her head slightly.

The princess's face is so dark. I don't know what she put on it. Can it be washed off? She is so beautiful, but this makeup is so ugly! She doesn't look like a princess at all.

"No, I can do it myself." Yan Xining didn't know that she was madly complaining about her blackened face in her heart, "I'll soak for a while, don't worry about me. You can go and do your own thing!"

Bingyu responded, and finally couldn't help asking, "Princess, are you going to... paint your face like this every time you go out?"

Thinking that his disguise might look different, Yan Xining said, "Not necessarily."

"Then how should this slave girl identify me?"

"Don't worry, my yard is very safe, no outsiders will come in!"

"Yes!"

Yan Xining didn't expect that she would be slapped in the face soon.

After Bingyu left, she closed the door, undressed, and soaked comfortably in the big bathtub.

This bathtub is ingeniously designed. You can half-lie in it with your head raised, and the bottom of the tub is heated.

The firewood at the bottom of the barrel slowly heated the water, keeping it at a comfortable temperature. She enjoyed the scent of flowers and the relaxing sensation of soaking in the warm water. It felt like a hot spring bath in her own villa's pool in a previous life.

Perhaps it was too comfortable, as she was soaking in the bath, she felt sleepy and allowed herself to take a nap.

She didn't know how long it had been, but she suddenly felt a palpitation, and she suddenly opened her eyes and took action quickly.

Amid the sound of splashing water, her hand precisely grasped a person's neck.

But at the same time, a sharp knife was pressed against her white neck.

The two men looked at each other, both of them looking extremely sharp.

They didn't move, but their hands were ready to strike.

The man, masked with a black scarf, looked very young. His body was thin, yet he seemed to radiate boundless strength. He stood by the tub, hunched over, looking down from above. His hawk-like eyes were sharp and deep, carrying a heavy pressure.

Even though Yan Xining was lying down, his aura was not suppressed by him. The fingertips that pinched the man's neck were like hooks, and they seemed to be no less sharp than the knife.

There seemed to be sparks blooming in the air, burning and crackling, and both of them were filled with murderous aura.

The man's gaze fell on Yan Xining's arm. The petals obscured her body, making it impossible to see what lay beneath the water, though it must have been an alluring sight. Only her head, neck, and arms were exposed, and water droplets still clung to her jade-white arms. Even though her arms were completely uncovered, her expression was remarkably calm, not the slightest bit disturbed by his presence.

That absolutely beautiful face, with its sharpness, had an aggression to it, but the water droplets still clinging to it, like morning dew, softened that aggression.

This scene is shocking and full of impact.

He came in through the window and saw a large barrel still emitting steam and a faint fragrance. He was just curious for a moment and couldn't help but take a second look at the pleasant aroma.

He saw a layer of flower petals in the bucket, a delicate fragrance unlike anything he'd ever smelled before. He couldn't help but want to get closer to smell the fragrance, but he didn't notice someone beneath the petals. He hadn't expected this person to be so alert, let alone possess such skill.

Feeling the tension of the fingers at his throat, he wasn't even sure if the other person's fingers would also cut his throat if he slashed his knife down.

He never expected that one day he would encounter such a dangerous situation.

Although the two were standing and sitting, they were in a stalemate for a while.

After a moment, he chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, I just stumbled into this place by mistake. I didn't mean to offend you. Please don't blame me, young lady!"

"who are you?"

The female voice was clear yet sharp.

He put away his knife, dispelling the murderous aura from his body. The smile in his eyes was filled with a hint of playfulness. "I am the famous Jianghu assassin Gui Jianchou, the flower-stealing thief Se Wuyou, the invincible Living Yama, the peerless Little Tyrant, the far-reaching evil Shura, the invincible killer! My surname is Lu and my name is Ren."

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the bathtub a few times.

Yan Xining let go of his hand: "Get lost!"

The man immediately stepped back and said, "I'll apologize to the girl another day!" Then he jumped out of the window the same way he came.

Yan Xining watched calmly as he moved from tiptoeing to opening the window and leaping out. His movements were fluid and unwavering, without a single moment of hesitation. He even woke her up when he opened the window and reached her bathtub. Even though she wasn't completely integrated with this body yet, and her alertness was a bit off, this man's skills were not to be underestimated.

It’s not that she can’t fight, but she is naked now, and the man has no intention of killing.

I really didn't expect that she had just told Bingyu that the yard was very safe and no outsiders would come in. Now she was slapped in the face.

I have to tell Chu Jinxun that security in the palace needs to be strengthened.

Lu Ren, passerby!

Ah!

Lu Ren left Qingwu Courtyard and walked quickly towards the garden on the right, trying to climb over the nearby wall and leave.

"Who are you?" He was stopped by three palace guards with a loud shout.
