The plan of poisoning the food failed, so Yun Wu had no choice but to continue standing quietly aside to reduce her presence.

Cao Quan was about to go forward to serve the dishes, but unexpectedly he heard Cui Rongyu say indifferently:

"Let her come."

After saying that, he slowly raised his indifferent and handsome eyes and looked in the direction of Yun Wu.

There were not many people in the hall. Apart from Yun Wu, there were only Cui Rong and the guards behind him, Cao Quan and the other two maids who stayed behind.

Now, because of Cui Rongyu's sudden words, several people's eyes fell on Yun Wu.

Cao Quan looked at the maid over there. He just took a casual glance and thought she was pretty, so he casually asked her to stay.

He was very anxious because his young prince still had no wife or concubine, but none of the people serving the young prince were women.

He would take advantage of the time when the prince would have a few pretty maids waiting by his side during meals, just in case the young prince would suddenly come to his senses.

Cao Quan hadn't looked carefully just now, but now when he took a closer look he realized that the maid was really very beautiful. He was overjoyed and quickly took two steps back and called Yun Wu to come forward.

"What are you still standing there for? Come and serve the prince some food!"

Yun Wu looked at the rumored young prince, Prince Heng Cui Rongyu, in a daze.

He was really handsome, but his eyes looked indifferent and ordinary.

Yun Wu couldn't help but think of what the adult who gave her the task once said, that this young prince was not as simple as he seemed on the surface, and that he was actually extremely cunning and resourceful.

Could it be that he discovered her identity?

Yun Wu's heart was in her throat, and she became even more frightened when she saw Cui Rong and the guard behind him who had a scar on his face and a fierce look on his face.

She moved over timidly, and then at Cao Quan's signal, she reached out her trembling hand to pick up the food and put it into Cui Rongyu's bowl.

"Your Majesty, please use..."

Cao Quan was standing at the back with a big smile on his face. He quickly winked and signaled the other two maids that they could leave.

Cui Rongyu just sat there with an indifferent expression, picking up the dishes with the wooden chopsticks in his slender and beautiful hands.

Yun Wu couldn't help but steal a few glances at him. Even the way he ate was very elegant and handsome.

He ate whatever dish Yun Wu picked for him, and he didn't seem to have discovered her identity, so she gradually calmed down.

She thought of the bowl of soup that she had poisoned, and she was still unwilling to give up, so she took the opportunity when the little prince put down his chopsticks to quickly serve him a bowl.

The cold and indifferent man suddenly asked:

"What's your name?"

Yun Wu's hand holding the soup spoon suddenly trembled. She lowered her head and looked honest.

"I am Yun Wu, a servant in the kitchen..."

Her voice was soft, but the ending tone was a bit nervous. She tremblingly held the small bowl of soup in her hand and moved it in front of Choi Yong-woo.

"Your Majesty, please drink some more soup..."

This was the first time that Yun Wu had done such an open poisoning thing. Her hands holding the bowl of soup were shaking slightly with nervousness and guilt.

The cold and indifferent man slowly raised his eyes and looked at her. His eyes were so deep that it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Because she had to serve the food, Yun Wu moved closer to him and could vaguely smell a faint scent on him. It was hard to tell what the smell was, but it smelled quite nice.

Just when she was feeling guilty and uneasy, the man in front of her suddenly reached out and took the bowl of soup, drank two sips slowly and put it down.

Yun Wu widened her eyes, but nothing unexpected happened. Cui Rongyu covered the corners of his lips with a handkerchief with an expressionless face.

This was the signal that the meal was finished, and Cao Quan quickly asked someone to take the food away.

The scene that Yun Wu imagined of the young prince being poisoned with blood coming out of all his orifices and smoke coming out of his nostrils still did not happen.

She almost cried in her heart. The poison that the senior brother gave her was really unreliable.

I should have tasted it before entering the palace. This is not poison!

Cui Rongyu stood up, his figure tall and straight, and his indifferent eyes looked at Yun Wu, who was quietly cleaning up the food among a few servants.

She looked listless and her spirit had obviously declined. She hung her head, looked hopeless, and prepared to follow the others in carrying the food and leaving.

"stop."

A cold voice sounded from behind. Yun Wu felt a chill on her back. She stopped in her tracks and then turned around cautiously.

"Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?"

'It's over, it's over! Did they find out that I poisoned someone? It's not me, it's not me, it's not me! I didn't do anything, don't look at me!'

Yun Wu’s pair of watery eyes were wide open, and she even dared not breathe.

Cui Rongyu was wearing a green robe with one hand behind his back, his narrow and indifferent eyes still staring at Yun Wu.

This little idiot...it's almost as if "I poisoned you" is written on his face...

"From now on, you will serve in the main courtyard."

The usually taciturn young prince suddenly spoke, and everyone else in the hall was stunned.

Even the bodyguard behind him with some scars on his face was stunned.

Choi Yong-woo didn't seem to notice the expressions of the people around him. After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"What? They just asked me to serve in the main courtyard. I was scared to death..."

Yun Wu muttered softly as if she was relieved, and patted her chest in shock. She was really scared just now... Wait!

Go to the main courtyard to serve? Wouldn't that mean I'm staying under Choi Yong-woo's nose? This, this, this...

This made Cao Quan so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Because his little prince usually didn't like too many people serving him, there were not many people in the main courtyard and they were all men, who didn't like women and were taciturn, which made Cao Quan anxious.

Unexpectedly, today he actually took the initiative to ask a little maid to go to the main courtyard. Cao Quan thought that maybe the iron tree had blossomed... It must be a good thing no matter how you look at it!

This means that his little prince is not a homosexual, right? Woohoo…

As the sky gradually darkened, the lights in the main house of the main courtyard were on. Fei Yu, the personal bodyguard with a scar on his face, knelt on the ground with a respectful look.

"Since the young prince already knew that the maid working in the kitchen was sent by the second prince, why did he send her to the main courtyard today..."

Fei Yu frowned slightly, obviously not quite understanding. According to his logic, it would be better to kill him directly.

"That maid has been in the palace for half a month. I think she should be eliminated as soon as possible..."

A man in a light blue robe stood in front of a desk, copying a painting. There was no unnecessary expression on his indifferent and handsome face.

"I have other plans for this matter. Don't do anything to her before I give the order."

"I understand! Young Prince, you must be planning to hold your ground for now. Letting the maid stay under your nose will not only allow you to be on guard at all times, but also allow you to collect evidence of her master's actions behind the scenes..."

Fei Yu's eyes suddenly brightened and he looked at Cui Rongyu as if he had suddenly become enlightened, his eyes full of admiration.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Choi Yong-woo's movement of drawing with the brush paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

There was not a single flaw on his cold and clear face, and he nodded twice seriously.

"Yes, it is like that."

Choi Yong-woo's thin lips were tightly pursed, and a faint smile seemed to flash across his eyes.

Well... the little fool is really cute, just a little silly.
