Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 131: Cannon Fodder Gold Targeted by Slaves 14

*

"You, sleep with me..."

Under the quiet moonlight, Yun Wu bit her pink lips softly and her voice was soft and delicate, and her fair cheeks were faintly stained with a blush.

She thought that Xie Rongjing was still injured, and since no one knew about it except the two of them, they might as well just stay in the same room.

"I, I just don't like the fact that you'll stink if you sleep in the stable."

Yun Wu blinked her watery eyes and spoke fiercely, like a kitten without even grown sharp teeth pretending to be angry and threatening the big tiger in front of her.

Xie Rongjing only felt his heart beating violently in his chest. In the dim environment, he pursed his thin lips, his handsome eyes hiding joy.

"I am just the young lady's slave, of lowly status. How can I be worthy of lying on the same bed and sleeping in the same quilt with the young lady..."

Xie Rongjing lowered his eyes and spoke humbly, but his slightly trembling fingertips revealed his inner joy.

Is he going to sleep with the lady? Sleeping in the same bed with the lady, being close to the lady, he didn't do it on purpose, he just wanted to warm the bed for the lady, that's right, that's it.

"What are you thinking about? I want you to sleep on the floor!"

Yun Wu's somewhat ashamed and angry voice interrupted Xie Rongjing's thoughts of the scene that was not suitable for children.

When he looked up, he saw his lady pointing at him with her slender, white fingers, with shame and anger in her glass-like eyes.

What do you mean by the same bed? She had originally planned to let Xie Rongjing stay in the same guest room with her, but she never expected that he actually misunderstood.

Xie Rongjing was completely unaware of Yun Wu's shame and anger. He stared at the slender white fingers of Yun Wu pointing at him, as slender as white jade.

Yun Wu thought he was thinking about what he had said wrong, but in fact, what he was thinking was...

The lady's hands are so beautiful, he kind of wants to...

The environment of the best guest room in this inn is just so-so. It is completely different from Yun Wu’s boudoir in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

But there was no better place to go when they were on the run. Although the guest room was small, it was enough for them to stay and rest.

Xie Rongjing quickly made the bed clean, and Yun Wu lay down on it without even taking off her winter clothes. Fortunately, the guest room was simple but tidy, otherwise she would not be able to fall asleep even if she wanted to.

Xie Rongjing spread a layer of bedding next to the bed and lay on it.

It was a cold night, and the room was lit only by a flickering candle.

The floor was hard and cold, which was not a good place to sleep, but Xie Rongjing felt extremely satisfied. He even ignored the slight pain in the wound on his left arm.

The guest room was extremely quiet. Yun Wu lay on her side on the bed and could vaguely see Xie Rongjing sleeping on the floor.

"Xie Rongjing..."

She suddenly called out his name, but because she was a little sleepy her voice was weak and small.

"I'm here, what do you want, miss?"

When Xie Rongjing's voice came, Yun Wu blinked twice sleepily, and then thought of the scene when Xie Rongjing suggested sleeping in the stable without thinking.

She murmured sleepily:

"Did you suffer a lot in the past?"

"I don't feel bitter anymore after I met Miss."

Xie Rongjing's deep and pleasant voice was heard. He was the prince of Xiao State, but he was not favored because his father, the emperor, was incompetent and favored the empress.

He suffered a lot when he was a child in the palace. He was born as the legitimate son of the previous queen, but his life was worse than that of the palace maids and eunuchs. His father was addicted to alcohol and sex and was indifferent to him.

The queen wanted to kill him without telling Emperor Xiao to eliminate future troubles, and assassinations and hunts continued. He moved around in Xiao State for several times and finally came to Wei State, where he disguised himself as a slave to avoid being seen.

He set his eyes on his lady at first sight and pretended to be pitiful, begging her to buy him.

"Then after we get back... I'll give you a monthly increase, a lot more..."

Yun Wu muttered in a daze, her eyelids tightly closed, and she was still thinking in her sleep that she must share a piece of cake with Xie Rongjing in the future.

Xie Rongjing lay on his side and saw Yun Wu lying on the bed, already asleep with steady breathing.

He waited for a while, and when Yun Wu fell completely asleep, he quietly got up and left.

In the deserted woods near the guest room, a secret guard soon appeared in front of Xie Rongjing. The man half-knelt down in front of Xie Rongjing respectfully.

"Your Highness, I have found out that there were two groups of people who assassinated today. One group was ordered by the Crown Prince of Wei and did not intend to harm the young lady's life. The Crown Prince of Wei was going to rescue the young lady so that she could get engaged to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the other group suddenly attacked."

The secret guard told Xie Rongjing the news he had urgently found out. Xie Rongjing understood everything and continued to listen to the secret guard:

"The other group that wanted to kill the young lady was the Imperial Concubine's brother, Duke Cao, the Second Prince's uncle. They got the news that the Crown Prince wanted to use the Prime Minister's Office to secure his position as Crown Prince, so they wanted to kill the young lady so that they could frame the Crown Prince. Once the Crown Prince is deposed, Duke Cao and the Imperial Concubine can use the opportunity to support the Second Prince."

"One or two people want that position..."

Xie Rongjing's eyes were cold. This time Wei Congyu was too impatient. He was so eager to be a hero and save the beauty so that he could smoothly get engaged to his lady.

"Your Highness, Duke Cao sent another group of men to hunt us down tonight, but they were all killed by my subordinates. In addition, Prime Minister Yun did not make public what happened today, and he is secretly sending people to look for the young lady."

Keeping this matter secret from everyone, firstly, can protect Yun Wu's reputation, secondly, can lure the snake out of its hole. Although Prime Minister Yun is worried about his daughter's safety, he has not lost his sense of proportion.

"My father-in-law is indeed very smart this time."

Xie Rongjing spoke to himself, and his subordinates, who had been bowing their heads respectfully, suddenly raised their heads and looked at their own prince suspiciously.

If he remembered correctly, His Highness' current identity was just Miss Yun's slave.

This... he has already called me father-in-law. As expected of you, His Highness. He is truly wise and brave.

"I have something else to report!"

The secret guard adhered to good professional ethics, quickly put that little episode behind him, and started talking about business.

Because he is a fan of His Highness' career.

"Your Highness, the Xiao Kingdom's spies have reported that His Majesty is now critically ill, and the Queen has no children. Your Highness is now fully grown, and it is a good time to return to the palace and seize power."

The secret guard's tone was a little excited. Xie Rongjing pursed his thin lips, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes showed some hesitation under the dim moonlight.

"Your Highness, I know you don't want to leave Miss Yun's side, but if you don't have power, how can you protect Miss Yun in the future?"

Although the secret guard's words were meant to persuade Xie Rongjing to return to Xiao State, he was also considering the long-term.

Xie Rongjing's eyes were deep. After the failure of this incident, both Wei Congyu and Duke Cao of the Imperial Concubine's faction would stay quiet for a while, but there was no guarantee that Yun Wu would not be implicated by the imperial power again in the future.

If Wei Congyu really gets married to the young lady, he may not be nice to her after he ascends the throne. The young lady will be a sacrifice to make an example of her after he ascends the throne. He will not let this happen.

He can be the lady's slave, but he cannot be just a slave.
