83 Chapter 24: Imperial Dr. Yen, A Purposeful Misunderstanding (1/2)

The three days passed by in a blink of an eye.

Seeing an excessively glowing Hua-sab, and Bai, whose eyes were sagged in the corners, changed into a honeyed apricot, she regretted that she overpaid her reward to him. As a result, the next person to sell her body was determined.

Well, she somewhat sympathized with Bai, who, having known of heavenly nectar once, will come to find the ones on earth unpalatable. The madam will surely make a killing of him. Beyond that was not Yen's responsibility.

And so, she was going to return to the Jade Palace with her souvenirs, but there was a celestial maiden-like young man who was cloaked in an excessively dangerous air right there. She felt an ominous poisonous air from the direction of the gentle smile.

Why is he excessively glaring at her?

No matter what his character was, beauty was a beauty. Besides, when he glared, there was an intensity to it.

As it was bothersome, she only bowed her head as much as she was required to, and headed for her room, when he firmly grabbed her shoulders with the force of his nails digging in.

”Wait in the parlor.” A honey-like voice flowed into her ears. Honey was honey, but it was wolfsbane honey. Yijun, who was at the back and his eyes told her to give up. Consort Gina, who looked troubled, but her eyes were shining. Hong, who was, for some reason, looking at Yen with blaming eyes. The three maids too were more curious than worried.

She that she would probably be thoroughly interrogated after this. She put down her belongings, changed into her maid clothes and went to the parlor.

”What do you require of me?” Yen asked.

There was only Ren in the room. He was elegantly dressed in simple official attire, legs crossed on the chair, elbows on the table. Somehow, she felt his attitude was worse than usual. Was it her imagination? She wanted it to be her imagination. Let's take it as imagination. There was no Yijun, the breath of fresh air. Consort Gina was nowhere to be found. Well, in other words, they couldn't bear to stay.

”It seems you returned home,” Ren said.

”Yes,” she answered.

”How was it?”

”Everyone was good.”

”Is that so?”

”Yes.”

”….”

”….”

”What kind of man was this Bai guy?”

”Yes. He's my identity guarantor.”

”Do you not understand what I mean? In that meaning.”

”Yes. He has to be a high official to be my guarantor who can properly maintain my identity.”
