Chapter 289: One More
"Nian Ru, calm down—" Zheng Congyuan could refuse, but so much had happened today, he knew that Nian Ru was not in a good mood, and it was more about venting his emotions.
He had experienced an assassination attempt, and the instant of terror made everyone cast off all shackles, leaving only what they most desired, even if he was the Crown Prince, he too felt desires like any ordinary person.
Nian Ru would be even more so.
Fu Dong listened to the movement inside the room and glanced at Nanny Yun, what to do?
If things continued this way, trouble was bound to arise. Now that the Commandery Princess was no longer in the palace and without the Crown Prince’s Hidden Guard by her side, this place was filled with people from the Prince’s Mansion, and it was only a matter of time before someone would find out.
With a sigh in her heart, Nanny Yun wondered what she could do. She had already done everything she could say or hint at. But Nanny Yun was not panicking; the Commandery Princess needed some time to slowly adapt to the current changes, and there was nothing they could do.
Nanny Yun shook her head; she had faith in the Commandery Princess and understood the importance of the matter.
"Brother Crown Prince, do you not want me anymore?" Zheng Nianru suddenly lifted her head, her pitiful appearance and her eyes, reddening as if about to cry, plunged Zheng Congyuan’s already despairing heart deep into a mire, unable to extricate himself.
"Nian Ru, you will always..." Zheng Congyuan regained his senses, what was he saying, what did he plan to do! The hand he had stretched out retracted as if scalded; he was like a devil, willing to abandon all morality and decency, he would be doomed.
"I don’t want just words, I want you to be truly here, by my side..." Zheng Nianru grabbed Zheng Congyuan’s hand, wishing to melt him into her own touch.
Zheng Congyuan opened his mouth, struggling with words that would make him feel ashamed, so ashamed to be standing there, so ashamed of the uncontrolled desires in his mind that were about to break through all rationality, leaping into a hellish abyss, with no will to turn back.
