Chapter 605: Chapter 604: What Does the Prince Want to Do?

When Xiaoyao brought Fu Ning back, Fu Ning was already unconscious.

Right before she passed out, Xiaoyao seemed to have heard her murmuring a few phrases like "she is not," "she is a bad person," "fake," and the like.

But Fu Ning wasn’t clear.

The poison had invaded too deeply; even though Xiaoyao moved her immediately and administered the antidote as quickly as she could, the toxins had already spread throughout her internal organs.

Having been poisoned for too long, even Xiaoyao wasn’t fully confident she could save her life.

It was just earlier that morning they had eaten breakfast together, and Xiaoyao had quite a good impression of her.

How did it happen that she suddenly became a wanted criminal of the Prince Residence, and the kind that is to be killed without negotiation?

Just now in the backyard, she had indeed heard Si Sha’s men leaving to capture someone, saying something about... an execution order, to kill without discussion.

After covering Fu Ning with a blanket, Xiaoyao was just about to make a trip to Yujing Pavilion to discuss with Feng Jinrui what to do next.

Should she tell Prince Yexuan about Fu Ning’s situation here?

No, that wouldn’t do; the execution order was Prince Yexuan’s decree. If she told him, wouldn’t that sign Fu Ning’s death warrant?

She couldn’t imagine how such a bright and gentle lady could have done anything so heinous as to deserve death.

This matter would have to wait until Fu Ning woke up so they could ask her what exactly happened.

Subconsciously, Xiaoyao felt an urge to protect Fu Ning.

As she reached the door and was about to open it, she heard Leng Ji’s voice coming from the direction of the archway:

"Prince, Lady Xiaoyao was injured today and it is already late at night; she most likely has gone to sleep already."

The Prince?

So, had Feng Yexuan come?

Xiaoyao startled, turned back, and looked at Fu Ning lying on the bed.

The footsteps outside were becoming even more distinct.

Feng Yexuan really had come!

Xiaoyao hurried back to the bedside, let down the bed curtain, and covered Fu Ning with the blanket, tucking her in tightly.

But with someone on the bed, even if covered by a blanket, one could still tell.

Feng Yexuan was not a fool! What to do?

Just then, Feng Yexuan and Leng Ji had reached the door. Seeing a candle still burning inside, Leng Ji hurriedly said, "Lady Xiaoyao, are you there? The Prince is looking for you."

"I... I have already fallen asleep; let’s talk about whatever it is tomorrow."

Without a second thought, Xiaoyao pulled off her clothes, hurriedly got under the quilt, and covered both herself and Fu Ning with it.

Leng Ji glanced over at the man beside him, somewhat hesitant, "Prince...?"

Suddenly, Feng Yexuan stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Leng Ji quickly turned his face away, bowing his head and retreating several steps, standing guard outside the door without daring to glance inside.

Who knew if Lady Xiaoyao was properly dressed or not?

However, the situation... somehow felt familiar to him.

It was like... like the times when the Prince and Princess were together in the past...

"Prince Yexuan, I have already gone to bed!"

Xiaoyao sat on the bed, the bed curtain obscuring her figure, but one could still vaguely make out her silhouette.

And with the occasional breeze blowing in through the window, causing the curtains to flutter, her arms and shoulders peeking out from the quilt were faintly visible to Feng Yexuan.

His head began to feel inexplicably hot with blood rushing through.

Before he could clarify his own intentions, Feng Yexuan reached back arbitrarily and closed the door.

With a slam, it seemed to shut on the hearts of several people.

Xiaoyao felt a wave of anxiety; what was this scoundrel up to now?

Leng Ji was utterly astounded.

In the dead of night, the Prince was staying with a lady who had already retired to bed... and he had closed the door too.

This... wasn’t right, was it? What exactly was the Prince wanting to do?
