Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

After successfully completing the task, Shangguan Zimeng felt refreshed. Just as she was about to leave Qingning Palace, she passed by a house and heard voices talking inside, so she listened attentively.

"You hid under the quilt for the whole afternoon and didn't do any work. Did you come to the palace to enjoy yourself?"

"That's right. He pretended to be injured and slacked off here for the whole afternoon. Why should we have to do all the work?"

"Let's go, leave her alone. When the imperial concubine wakes up, report her and let her suffer again."

"Go, go, go. I don't want to look at her."

"..."

After these annoying insults and accusations disappeared, crying sounds were heard again.

Shangguan Zimeng was curious, so she climbed in through the window. When she got closer, she saw a little palace maid hiding in the quilt. She seemed to be the one she was beaten today.

Seeing the maid's face was red and swollen, Shangguan Zimeng felt as if a needle had stabbed her heart. She was the one who was wrong today for peeping, so what was wrong with the maid?

Yue'er noticed someone was looking at her, and carefully moved her gaze to Shangguan Zimeng's face. After seeing who it was, her expression quickly turned into fear and horror.

She got out of the quilt in panic, plopped down, and knelt on the ground: "Please punish me, Princess. I did something wrong today..."

As she spoke, she kowtowed several times on the ground. Shangguan Zimeng saw her and hurriedly stopped her.

It seems that this little palace maid thought that Shangguan Zimeng came to her now to settle the account that happened at noon today. She is not the kind of petty person.

"Come, sit on the bed."

"The slaves dare not."

"There are no rules for just the two of us. Sit down quickly, or I will be angry."

"Yes."

Seeing that she was sitting on the bed obediently but still some distance away from her, Shangguan Zimeng smiled bitterly in her heart. Am I really that scary in her eyes?

"What's your name?"

"Yue'er."

"Why did you come to the palace to be a maid?"

"I was forced to rely on my relatives' connections to find a way out by entering the palace."

After saying that, Yue'er lowered her head embarrassedly, probably thinking about what happened to her today.

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"My parents are still at home. I can ask someone to send them some money and things every month. Although it's not much, it's enough for them to use."

Yue'er was obviously very happy when talking about her parents.

Shangguan Zimeng also noticed that her tone and state were different when she talked about her parents. It seemed that she was also a filial child, so she wanted to help her.

"Where do your parents live now?"

When Yue'er heard this, she panicked and thought Shangguan Zimeng was going to harm her parents. After all, she not only scolded the princess today, but also let people discover her little hobby. The princess would definitely not forgive her.

The trouble she caused must not involve her parents. She stood up and knelt on the ground again: "Please forgive my parents, Princess. It was my fault that I scolded you today. If you want to punish me, punish me."

Shangguan Zimeng looked at her kneeling on the ground with helplessness, thinking that it must be another misunderstanding. Am I an unkind person in her heart?

"Get up, that's not what I meant. I just want to know where your parents live so I can ask someone to send them some money."

Yue Er raised her head, tears still on her face: "Really?"

"Really, get up and wipe your tears."

"Thank you, princess."

Shangguan Zimeng looked at the wound on her face, took out the surgical ointment that Liu Xingtang had given her last time, which was not finished yet, and applied it on her face.

"Princess, you must not do this. I am just a slave and I am not worthy of you doing this."

"So what? Everyone is equal here. If you are injured, you must be treated. Besides, I was the one who beat you. Listen."

"Thank you, princess."

Yue'er didn't dare to say that it was actually Concubine Zhao who beat her.

"Rest well and stop crying. This medicine cannot come into contact with water, otherwise it will be useless."

Yue'er smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I should go back too. The King of Hell should still be waiting at home... Shit! I forgot about that guy!"

Shangguan Zimeng suddenly remembered that Yan Kaiyu should have returned long ago! She ran towards Jingchun Palace.

Yue'er looked at her back as she ran away with emotion, and thought to herself: The princess really loves the prince, and she goes home on time. I envy her.

"But what the hell is this grass?"

……

Shangguan Zimeng ran wildly all the way, and no one dared to stop her. She kept repeating to herself, "I'm dead, I'm done; I'm dead, I'm done..."

Huaying watched her running figure on the roof and couldn't help grinning. It seemed that the prince really had some tricks up his sleeve when it came to women.

In fact, he had already noticed Shangguan Zimeng in Qingning Palace, and guessed that Concubine Zhao's scandal today was related to her, but he did not expose her because he was afraid that the emperor would be furious and punish her again.

After all, as a former secret guard of the prince, it is understandable that he is loyal to the future princess.

Outside Jingchun Palace, Shangguan Zimeng cautiously poked her head out and was shocked to see Yan Kaiyu sitting at the door of the palace!

Holy shit! This is a fucked up thing.

However, fortunately, her eyesight was very good. Yan Kaiyu seemed to be asleep and did not move at all. It was simply God’s help to her.

Since he was asleep, it wasn't that scary, but she still had to be careful. She tiptoed and tried to walk past him.

Just as he stepped past Yan Kaiyu, her arm was grabbed by him.

Shangguan Zimeng, whose arm was grabbed, felt very cold in her heart. She thought that this time it was really over, so she prayed that he was just sleepwalking.

A voice that could not tell whether she was happy, angry, sad, or happy came out of Yan Kaiyu's mouth, completely shattering her wishful thinking: "So you still remember to come back?"

Shangguan Zimeng retracted her foot and turned around to smile, rubbing his shoulders and arms: "My husband is here, and as his wife, of course I have to come back, don't you think so, husband?"

Shangguan Zimeng originally thought that if she gave Yan Kaiyu a massage and said a few nice words, he would not pursue the matter of her coming back so late.

But then, Yan Kaiyu's words shattered her hopes.

"Do you know? I have been waiting for you for the whole afternoon."

"!!!"

What's going on?

After hearing what he said, Shangguan Zimeng was petrified on the spot, with a sad face. She was sure that she would be in trouble this time.

She wanted to take Yan Kaiyu's hand off her arm, but no matter how hard she tried, the hand remained as steady as a rock.

In desperation, she had to give up and leave it to fate. Anyway, with the support of her mother, he would at most scold her a few times, but he would never hit her, right?

In the end, Yan Kaiyu proved that she was wrong, very wrong. Not only did he hit her, but he also hit her hard.

It’s hard to guess what a woman is thinking, and it’s also hard to guess what a prince is thinking.
