Chapter 23: This girl is very suspicious

  Hua Xiang Rong slept until the sun was high in the sky before finally waking up, and in her daze, she only felt Ling Tiao supporting her as she sat up, helping her tidy up her hair, and then preparing to support her down from the bed.

  When her feet touched the cold ground, Hua Xiang suddenly woke up and looked at Ling Tong, then turned to look at the messy bed... as if she had a premonition, she lowered her eyes to look at the purple and green bruises on her body.

  "Miss..." Ling Tong called out to her carefully, as if hinting to her: Yes, you failed last night and were eaten by the prince.

  "What happened last night?" Hua Xiang Rong's eyes widened, her memories only stopping at the point where she drank that cup of wine with the anesthetic, and then...then it seemed like Xiao Yue Han had put her to bed...

  A string in her mind suddenly reached its end, and afterwards everything was a white blur, she couldn't think of anything. All over her body, only those ambiguous purple marks and the feeling of soreness all over were telling her what might have happened last night...

  "Last night... Miss, you might have been drunk..." Ling Tong hadn't entered the room and wasn't clear about what had happened: "Last night, Miss and the Prince... uh, Miss, your voice is really nice to hear..." As he spoke, Ling Tong's face suddenly turned red. Hua Xiang Rong's face also instantly turned bright red, she hastily shook off Ling Tong's arm, turned around and wrapped the quilt on the bed around her body, then turned her head and glared fiercely at Ling Tong's eyes which were holding back a smile: "When did the Prince leave?"

  "Miss, the king left early this morning when the sky was just brightening up. However, he left a message saying that you should rest well and told me to tell you that he will come over again tonight..." As soon as she said this, Ling's entire face turned red once more.

  "What?! Is he coming again?!!!" Hua Xiangrong shouted loudly.

  "Little miss... haven't you succeeded in getting the prince's token yet? He can still come over tonight, and you can continue to look for opportunities..."

  "Hold on." Hua Xiang Rong suddenly narrowed her eyes, gazing at Ling Tong with suspicion: "Ling Tong, why do you suddenly want me to get Xiao Yue Han's waist token so much?"

  The bell-ringer looked up at her with an uncomprehending expression: "Miss?"

  "Do you also wish for me to leave the Jin Wang Fu? As a maid, although it's all about listening to the master, but you seem to be...” The adjective that followed made Hua Xiang Rong momentarily speechless, and she could only pout: "You seem to know what I'm thinking every day, and you're also working hard to help me get the waist token." Suddenly, Ling Dang knelt down with a thud, startling Hua Xiang Rong, who jumped back in surprise and stared at Ling Dang's tear-filled eyes: "Miss, Ling Dang is just following Miss's heart and understanding Miss's thoughts, wanting to help Miss do what Miss likes. If Miss suspects that Ling Dang has other motives... then please punish me!"

  "My goodness!" Hua Xiangrong let out a long sigh, hastily stretching out her arm to support the crying Zhenzhen as she stood up: "I was just asking you something, why did you kneel? Don't always kneel down whenever I ask you something, I'm not going to shorten my own lifespan..."

  Ling Tong hastily wiped away her tears and helped Hua Rong put on her clothes, then applied some ointment to the parts of her neck and arms that occasionally showed through, as for the bruises on her body, they could only wait for them to slowly fade away...

  That's all.
