Yun Yueyin never expected to be shut out!
She was furious, glaring with wide eyes, "You actually shut me out! Do you know your status? You are just a physician hired by Prince Pingyang's manor."
She lowered her voice and questioned, not daring to be too loud.
Because she knew if her voice was too loud, it would disturb the Zhen siblings.
She knocked on the door again, and continued speaking to the door, "This matter started because of you, you must find a way to treat my husband's facial scars and internal injuries."
The imperial physician said there would be scars and internal injuries would take a long time to heal, but she knew Ning Ruan would surely have a solution!
After all, even the imperial physicians were helpless with Zhen Lin's condition, yet here he was, now indistinguishable from a normal person and even achieving second place in today's hunt.
Therefore, she had every reason to believe Ning Ruan possessed the capability.
Yun Shu listened to Yun Yueyin's words and felt utterly speechless.
Was she here to make a joke?
One moment she wanted to assassinate her, the next she was asking her to save someone. Truly, Yun Yueyin's mind worked differently from others.
"Why are you here?"
Zhen Lin saw Yun Yueyin at Yun Shu's door and immediately questioned her coldly.
Yun Yueyin hadn't expected Zhen Lin to come out of his room instead of resting and see her.
Her body stiffened, and she gritted her teeth, turning to face Zhen Lin, putting on a charming and pitiable expression. She had used this trick on many men, and it was very effective.
"My husband has been in a coma, and his injuries are too severe, so I wanted to ask Miss Ning to take a look. Also, I believe today's incident was a misunderstanding."
She displayed a look of deep concern for her husband before them.
And in a few words, she tried to smooth things over, to erase the confrontation that had occurred moments ago.
She hoped this beauty trap would work.
However.
Zhen Lin's expression remained cold, completely unmoved by her beauty trap. "Who gave you the courage to appear before Miss Ning again and again? From now on, without my permission, you and Zhen Xu are to stay far away from Miss Ning."
Yun Yueyin's body stiffened, and her face immediately turned extremely ugly. She parted her red lips, "Young Master..."
How could he be so blind!
Her pitiable words were completely ignored!
Was he even a man?
"Return to your room immediately," Zhen Lin said coldly.
Yun Yueyin's body trembled violently, as if she were suffering immense humiliation!
Yun Shu, who was in the room, heard the commotion outside.
After Yun Yueyin left in anger and resentment, she opened the door and looked towards Zhen Lin outside.
When Zhen Lin saw Yun Shu open the door, his gaze involuntarily shifted towards her.
Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too gentle, but he felt as though the woman before him was a fairy descended from the moon.
Her beautiful eyes held a captivating allure.
Suddenly, his throat felt tight.
"Thank you," Yun Shu said softly.
If Zhen Lin hadn't suddenly arrived, Yun Yueyin, given her nature, would have surely pestered her for a while longer. She had already been prepared to pour a pot of cooled tea on her, but she hadn't expected Zhen Lin to arrive.
When she heard Yun Yueyin acting coquettishly towards Zhen Lin in her room, she couldn't help but want to laugh. Old habits die hard; Yun Yueyin had left Dongning Kingdom, but her temperament remained that of Dongning Kingdom.
Zhen Lin snapped back to reality, forcibly calming himself and shaking his head. "I should be the one apologizing to you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been in danger today."
As soon as he thought of what would have happened if Ning De hadn't encountered Ning Ruan, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He felt an urge to kill Zhen Xu.
Zhen Xu's current suffering was not enough.
Yun Shu felt a bit drowsy and didn't want to waste more words on the matter. She smiled and said, "This is no big deal. Young Master needn't worry about it. It's getting late, and you need to rest early. Goodnight."
After saying goodnight, Yun Shu directly closed the door.
Zhen Lin was stunned for a moment, looking at the closed door. The emotions surging in his heart could not be calmed.
After another glance, he retreated and left.
The moonlight tonight was beautiful, but it was destined to be an unrestful night.
Outside Zhan Tianye's courtyard, there were two or three figures lurking suspiciously.
"Should we go in and take a look?"
"Do you think His Highness Prince Jin has fallen for the poison? If something goes wrong and His Highness Prince Jin is not poisoned, and we barge in, we will surely die."
"Don't forget, this is our mission."
The three glanced at each other.
Then they looked up at the sky.
"Let's wait another half hour. When His Highness Prince Jin is sleeping more soundly, we'll go."
Just then, a woman approached.
The woman was beautiful, and although not as stunning as Princess Ning De, she was still a rare beauty. After she arrived, the three men in black immediately bowed.
The woman waved her hand and asked the three, "No need to be so formal. Have everything been arranged? There shouldn't be any mistakes, right?"
"Miss, please rest assured. The arrangements are concealed, and His Highness Prince Jin will absolutely not discover anything. Today's mission will surely be successful," one of them replied.
The woman nodded with satisfaction. Her eyes sparkled as she gazed intently at the courtyard ahead. She knew His Highness Prince Jin resided there, and even more clearly, after today, she would be by His Highness Prince Jin's side.
When she saw Princess Ning De and Qin Linglong surrounding His Highness Prince Jin, she had hidden her true intentions.
She had only shared her thoughts with her father.
She knew her father was a great general and also knew some of Prince Jin's secrets, so she understood that haste makes waste. She was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to become entangled with His Highness Prince Jin.
And today was that opportunity!
Having finally waited for the hunt, she couldn't miss this chance. Li Meng'er would become Prince Jin's woman tomorrow.
About another half hour passed.
The night deepened further.
Li Meng'er narrowed her eyes, looking ahead, and said solemnly, "It's time."
If they waited any longer, dawn would break.
The three men also felt it was time.
"Miss, this way please." The three led Li Meng'er around the main entrance of the courtyard to the side.
There was an inconspicuous woodshed on the side. Being in the rear, it didn't usually attract anyone's attention. After entering and opening a mechanism, they discovered it was a hidden passage.
From here, they could directly access Prince Jin's room.
This way, they could completely avoid alerting anyone.
It was absolutely covert!
And His Highness Prince Jin in his room would certainly not suspect anything.
However, their meticulously laid plan was now ready to be concluded.
Li Meng'er's heart was beating a little too fast, a bit uncontrollably. For a while, she had been hiding her intentions, and no one knew except her father, all for this day.
Her father had actually disagreed at first, always saying that His Highness Prince Jin was extremely dangerous and uncontrollable, and that Prince Jin was very heartless, with little regard for romantic affections.
