If I want to run away from the outer chamber, I will criticize the prince madly and take me into the

Chapter 5 His Highness’ Rules

Cheng Chong said that she was adopted by Cui Yunliang in order to use her in exchange for benefits.

Everyone in the prefect's house said that their young lady was as timid as a mouse and would not dare to raise her head and speak when she saw anyone. But in his opinion, she was not timid at all.

He kept her here to deceive others, but he would never allow unknown variables to appear around him.

The wrapped palm fell on the delicate back of her neck. With just a little force, this slender and fragile neck would be broken.

Cui Ying lay on the bedside and forced herself to calm down.

The fingers on the back of her neck were slowly closing in. As long as he exerted force, she would never have another chance to wake up.

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

At the critical moment, she opened her eyes and tilted her head to avoid his hand. She knelt there, her messy clothes seemed to have been torn apart during a dispute, revealing the tender green clothes underneath.

Unintentional temptation, half-covered seduction.

"Is Your Highness's injury feeling better?"

Cui Ying raised her head and asked him, Chu Yan always looked at her with half-lowered eyes.

The lines on the brocade quilt on the bed were printed on her white and tender face. Her eyes were very bright, as bright as stars, as if they were the clearest river water.

"Didn't anyone tell you the rules of being alone?"

Chu Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and his words were full of indifference.

When he first saw her, he knew that she was not as well-behaved as she appeared, but her every move, word and deed was like a well-behaved cat, the kind that would not resist even if someone bullied her.

"If Your Highness still feels pain, I will call the guards over."

Cui Ying avoided his question, stood up neatly, walked over, opened the door and called Cheng Chong, but he didn't say anything to stop her.

After a while, Cheng Chong came in with the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Chu Yan.

She stood at the door, lowered her eyes, threw the bloody porcelain piece aside casually, turned around and left the room.

When Grandma Kong saw her coming out, she stepped forward to take a look, then gathered her clothes up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, girl. I will ask the female doctor to bandage the girl later."

"Thank you, mama, for working for His Highness. This is what you should do."

There was a slight smile on her face, as if what just happened was not a life and death situation.

Grandma Kong nodded slightly, as if she had made some kind of decision in her heart.

"His Royal Highness will stay in Yunzhou for four or five months, and Cheng Chong will be the only one to take care of him. As a man, naturally he is not as considerate as his daughter's family. If the girl is willing, why not move to the yard next door?"

This sentence seems to be a discussion, but in fact it is a notice. Cui Ying is of course willing to get closer to Chu Yan.

She didn't have much time. If she couldn't let Chu Yan take her away, she would definitely not end well if she was sent back to the prefect's mansion.

"Of course I am willing. Your Highness is my savior."

Cui Ying took out what she had said to Chu Yan and told Aunt Kong that she should give her life to her for saving her life.

In this way, she moved from the most remote courtyard in the house to next to Chu Yan's courtyard.

After that day, she never saw Chu Yan again.

As the prince of Dashuo, he came to Yunzhou for official business, so he couldn't see him all day long, which was reasonable.

But Cui Ying felt that if she continued like this, he would probably forget who she was. So that day, when she heard from Aunt Kong that His Highness would come back early for dinner today, she felt something in her heart. Made a calculation. "Your Highness, the location of the Jade Cave has basically been explored, but the construction has not started during this period, I'm afraid I have some concerns."

Cheng Chong held a map in his hand, looked at the areas outlined on the map and said something.

Yunzhou is located on the border of Dashuo, and is close to Dongyi Kingdom in the east. Its border town Zhenmu Village is a place with very developed trade.

But it was thousands of miles away from the capital city of Dashuo, Shangjing. As the saying goes, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the court could not reach it. Yunzhou naturally became a small country, with the most powerful Ma family in the area controlling the military and administration.

On top of the taxes levied by the court, 20% was added, and it is self-evident whose pocket the 20% went into.

In addition, the local area is rich in jade and jade. Except for the tribute to the imperial court, some private properties that have been developed but have not been transferred to the official register of the imperial court have all become the property of the Ma family.

If you have money, you want to have power. The Ma family made a lot of money by relying on these secret operations, so they thought of placing their own people in the court and selling officials and titles.

Unfortunately, I didn't find out clearly that the examiner in charge of the scientific examination this year is the most upright Tutor Zuo in the court.

The imperial examination fraud made the emperor furious, so Chu Yan came to Yunzhou to investigate. On the surface, he wanted to examine the political achievements of the various states in recent years, but secretly, he wanted to investigate who was the big fish who was shielding the Ma family in Yunzhou.

This person must be powerful and ruthless, and would cut off his tail in order to survive.

The two of them entered the courtyard while talking, and they could smell the aroma coming from the small kitchen from a long distance away, which seemed to be the smell of jasmine.

"I have met His Highness."

When Grandma Kong saw the two of them, she stepped forward to salute, and Chu Yan nodded.

He looked towards the small kitchen with smoke rising from the kitchen not far away. Aunt Kong turned her head and replied, "It's Miss Cui. Miss Cui said that Your Highness might not have tasted the local cuisine when he came to Yunzhou, so he went there in person today." I cooked a table."

Grandma Kong had already made up her mind to help Cui Ying, so naturally she would say something nice in front of Chu Yan.

After hearing what Grandma Kong said, Chu Yan sarcastically said, "She always remembers her purpose."

That day at the Prefect's Mansion, he asked her if Cui Yunliang asked her to spy on him. She said no, but no one believed her.

Cui Yunliang has raised her for seven years and trained her for seven years. Will he send her here for nothing?
Grandma Kong did not answer and followed his steps into the room. Several dishes were already placed on the table inside, all of which were Yunzhou's local specialties.

Cui Ying's craftsmanship is good, the food is delicious and delicious, and it looks very appetizing.

Cheng Chong and Aunt Kong were standing on the left and right, and they saw Cui Ying walking in with a basin of soup. In order to facilitate cooking, her hair was tied into a woman's bun, and she was also wearing a cook's apron.

That little face was covered in flour at some point, and it looked a little ridiculous.

"Your Highness?"

She pretended to be surprised, as if she didn't expect him to come back so early.

Putting down the soup in her hand, the girl held her ears with both hands and looked at him. Chu Yan sat on the chair and met her eyes with unclear eyes.

"Mother Kong, take her out and teach her the rules of Gu."

He just glanced at the food on the table and then stood up. The sound was just like when he chopped it into pieces and fed it to the dog that day in the carriage, it was extremely cold.

What she didn't answer that day was mentioned by him again today.

Grandma Kong nodded in agreement and walked out with Cui Ying.

"Girl, kneel down. Your Highness doesn't like people making their own decisions. You have exceeded the rules today."

　Dog man, don’t beg us to love you!
