I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 56 What to do when she comes looking for me

With a gentle touch, he simply changed her clothes without saying a word.

"Yu Huan, I'm fine."

He Yuhuan gripped her dress tightly and looked up at her.

"That guy outside wouldn't let me in, and I almost hit him with a hammer!"

"Princess, do you feel any changes in your body?"

Yan Ruoyu's casual interjection didn't make him feel awkward at all.

It turned out she was the only one feeling awkward; she smiled slightly, her expression remaining perfectly composed.

"No, it's the same as before!" Her tone was still somewhat angry!

But in fact, she had just woken up and had not yet fully grasped the state of fusion between the magic power and her body.

She slowly closed her eyes, and the image of her natal magic weapon, which she had not yet refined, appeared in her mind again.

This time it was a physical entity, however, and she silently summoned the Blood Flute into her hand.

She spread her hands, but only a vague outline appeared; there was still no solid form.

"It seems the princess has had a very fruitful trip."

He Yuhuan bit her nails and asked, "Master, were you just condensing a magical artifact?"

She nodded, surprised that she knew all this, and blinked.

In fact, her golden mace is also her natal magic weapon, but Zhongli Yueluo seems to have difficulty condensing magic weapons.

"Master, repeat after me: Beneath the heavens, within the spiritual sea, my magical artifact appears in my hand."

After He Yuhuan finished speaking, the golden mace at her waist slowly grew larger and appeared in her hand.

Then he widened his eyes, blinked twice, tilted his head, and gestured for her to try.

She silently prayed that she could sense her natal magic weapon within her spiritual sea.

She reached out, and sure enough, it appeared in her hand, tangible enough to grasp, though not yet stable.

No one told her that summoning this thing required chanting a spell.

She thought she could use it directly. What has she learned over the past thousands of years?

"Thank you, Yu Huan!" She excitedly pinched her cheek, completely ignoring Yan Ruoyu.

At this moment, Zhongli Yueluo turned to look at him: "Ruoyu, your natal magic weapon wouldn't be that Xuan Gu Fan, would it?"

He nodded, and she suddenly realized that she had thought these were all based on her acquired preferences and the magical power she had cultivated, but it turned out that they were not.

“Princess, this magical artifact is rather special.”

Indeed, it is a flute carved from jade that is as red as blood.

Moreover, the flute exudes an aura that seems to bewitch the mind.

Only she knew what it was for, but she hoped it would never be used to control them.

"It's still early, Princess. Would you like to go back and rest for a while?" he asked, closing the Xuan Gu Fan.

He Yuhuan yawned upon hearing this; she too had been startled awake from her sleep and was still feeling sleepy.

She took Zhongli Yueluo's hand and said, "Master, sleep a little longer."

Who can sleep now? She's caught in a dilemma – whether to leave or stay.

And they also had to think about how to deal with the Su brothers after dawn.

If she leaves now, rumors will surely spread that Yan Ruoyu is not to her liking.

Or rumors might circulate that he's too old to be suitable, or that she's too picky...

"Yu Huan, why don't you go back and rest for a while? I can't leave yet."

Since we've already started, we might as well stay in Ruoyu Courtyard until dawn.

She casually lay down on the bed, and He Yuhuan tilted her head and rolled her eyes.

She didn't quite understand why she was being told to go back to sleep when there was a bed right there.

She didn't care about anything else, her shoes flew off as she sprawled out on the bed at Zhongli Yueluo's feet.

Yan Ruoyu smiled outwardly, but her hands were already clenched. This was Ruoyu Courtyard; what did they take this place for?

In the end, he sighed, sat on the stool next to him, and rested his forehead on his hand.

He could have stayed awake, but he was also afraid that if he went out now, rumors would spread everywhere.

He Yuhuan doesn't care about the location; she can fall asleep anywhere she lies down.

The room was eerily quiet; it was as if you could hear each other breathing.

Then, every now and then, the sound of He Yuhuan grinding her teeth could be heard.

I can't sleep! I just can't sleep!

Although their eyes were closed, they remained there in silence until dawn broke outside.

Zhongli Yueluo finally couldn't resist lifting the covers and sitting up in bed.

Feeling her eyes were still a little dry, she yawned. Hearing this, Yan Ruoyu opened her eyes as well: "Princess, are we going back?"

"Hmm." She grabbed one of Yan Ruoyu's robes from the bed and put it on. Yan Ruoyu stood up and saw her out.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was very strange as soon as the door opened.

They seemed ordinary, but it felt like there were always eyes on them every now and then.

Stepping out of Ruoyu Courtyard, the once deserted corridor was now filled with servants.

They all seem to be here to gather information, but it's still unclear which faction they belong to.

In fact, the servants of each clan have the characteristics of their own clan, and you can tell at a glance who belongs to whom.

As they walked down the corridor, they both felt as if a million eyes were scanning them.

Zhongli Yueluo was now nervously gripping Yan Ruoyu's hand.

Yan Ruoyu gently patted the back of her hand, giving her a reassuring look.

Then, he gave a wink to the Silver Guard behind him, signaling him to clear all these people out.

Zhongli Yuelu frowned, already thinking about how to explain this to the Su brothers.

Although there was no need to explain, I didn't want to create any resentment between them.

This matter quickly reached Zhong Liyu's ears.

She heard this news early in the morning, before she was even fully awake.

Her fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "What does Yan Ruoyu mean by this! How could he let that bitch into his room!"

The maidservant who was washing and grooming her didn't dare to breathe.

I'm really afraid of getting whipped a few more times, or being kicked over.

"Go and invite Yan Ruoyu here for me later," she said to her trusted maid.

"Your Highness, with such a blatant plot, isn't the Second Princess's husband a bit inappropriate?"

Zhong Liyu turned her head, her expression both alluring and cold, her eyes flashing with a fierce light: "You're teaching me how to do things!"

The maid shook her head repeatedly and knelt on the ground, begging for her life.

She snorted and touched her hair.

She hasn't even tasted what it's like to be the young lord of the Zhen clan yet, so why should that bitch Zhongli Yueluo get to enjoy it first!

Zhongli Yueluo's expression was cold and stern as she spoke to Yan Ruoyu in a low voice.

"With the news coming out last night, rumors are probably flying everywhere today. I guess someone will try to sow discord between the Zheng Clan and the Gui Clan, and Zhong Liyu will probably send someone to look for you as well."

"She came to me; what does the princess want me to do?"

He smiled slightly, tilted his head to look at her, his eyes gentle yet scheming.

“Just follow your own heart, but I’m worried she might use some underhanded tactics on you.”

If Yan Ruoyu really had something happen with Zhong Liyu, she would find it hard to accept.

"Princess, don't overthink it. Have you forgotten that the Zhen Clan is the best at countering witchcraft?" Xuan Gu Shan gently tapped her head.
