Chapter 75: Saving People
Qi Yu glared at the guard. "What are you standing there for, letting someone cause a commotion here?"
The guard immediately went to pull the person on the ground, but that person came prepared.
"Crown Prince, Crown Prince, only you can save my life," the commoner pleaded.
Zheng Nianru was surprised to glance at Zheng Congyuan, who could actually recognize her and knew she would be here today. That indicated the person had done their homework.
Zheng Congyuan didn’t speak but glanced at Qi Yu, who immediately picked up the man outside and was about to leave.
Zheng Nianru’s mood was spoiled. Listening on, she lost the enjoyment of the previous atmosphere. She looked at the stack of golden, brightly colored pastries in front of Zheng Congyuan. They looked tempting now.
"I want to eat what’s on your plate." Fu Dong glanced at his own Commandery Princess, somewhat distressed to hear the young man’s voice outside. How could he eat while hearing such a plea?
Zheng Congyuan pushed the pastries in front of him over to Zheng Nianru, who thought that while the pastries looked appetizing, they would also dirty her hands. However, her handkerchief was newly embroidered with battling begonias, rare enough to catch her eye, so naturally, she couldn’t bear to soil it.
Fu Dong was about to take out his own silk handkerchief when Zheng Nianru had already approached Zheng Congyuan, tugging at his sleeve and turning it over.
Just then, the door was suddenly burst open, and a rich fragrance spread wildly, just like its master, barging straight in. Zheng Congyuan quickly pulled the person in front of him into his embrace. The sharp scent of the wild man overpowered the thick fragrance, and Zheng Nianru didn’t struggle, burying her head in Zheng Congyuan’s chest, feeling Zheng Congyuan’s rare "initiative."
"Fu Xun, it’s rare to see you in such a place," the Eldest Princess spoke up, her tone unfriendly, but when she saw Zheng Congyuan, even her previous anger halved.
