Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



Beitang You looked at her, impressed. "Your analysis sounds reasonable."

Yaoyao shrugged. "It's just a guess. He could be telling the truth." As she spoke, she took out two hallucinogens and passed them to Chen Jin with a wink. "These hallucinogens don't work on people with strong mental power. You need to feed someone like that more than one."

Chen Jin's eyes brightened as he quickly took them from her and later looked at Beitang You for permission.

Beitang You nodded. "Go ahead."

Chen Jin left happily with the hallucinogens. The assassin would be sure to spout the truth with the help of these hallucinogens from Princess Yaoyao.

Yaoyao yawned and stood up. "It's getting late. I'm heading back to my room for some sleep."

Beitang You got up as well. "I'll walk you there."

Yaoyao said, "It's only a few steps away, you don't need to…"

"Come on." Beitang You had already taken the lead and left.

Yaoyao stared at his back for quite a while before catching up to him.

It was only when they arrived at her side hall that Beitang You finally stopped. "You should go in now."

"Alright," Yaoyao replied and she pushed the door open.

Beitang You watched her go in and turned to give instructions in a low voice, "Protect the princess!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." A few covert guards appeared and went down to one knee as they replied.

Beitang You stood there for quite a while before leaving.

When Ling'er brought water into the room, she said to Yaoyao, who was sitting at the table, "Princess, His Majesty has just left."

Yaoyao was taken aback. "Is that so?"

"It's true. His Majesty didn't leave for a long time after you entered," Ling'er said with a smile.

"He must have eaten too much and was standing there to digest it." Yaoyao was surprised and quickly looked for an explanation.

Ling'er smiled and understandingly stopped talking about this to avoid Yaoyao from feeling uncomfortable. Instead, she said, "Princess, it's getting late. Let me help you with your bath."

"Alright."

Yaoyao could not sleep that night.

She kept thinking about what happened at the imperial garden earlier that evening.

Every sentence uttered by Beitang You replayed in her mind. His words were so clear, it felt like he was speaking right next to her ear. 

Yaoyao tossed and turned, but could not sleep. When she closed her eyes, Beitang You's words would once again appear in her mind.

She knocked herself on the head and decided to sit up.

Yaoyao walked a few circles around the room, but could not calm down. She made the decision to open the door and walk out.

Ling'er, who was on night duty, heard her and quickly got up. "Princess?"

"It's fine. You should get back to sleep. I'll just stand in the corridor." Yaoyao closed the room door as she spoke.

Ling'er did not dare to go back to sleep. When she saw the princess leaving the room without an extra layer of clothing, she quickly grabbed a cloak and followed her out.

However, the moment she went out, the princess was nowhere to be seen along the corridor.

She immediately panicked.

Where did the princess go?

At this moment, Beitang You returned from outside. When he spotted Ling'er panicking in the corridor, he asked, "What happened?"

"The princess has disappeared." Ling'er was extremely anxious as she reported this with a pale face.

Beitang You frowned. He was about to say something when a covert guard appeared from the dark to report, "The princess is on the roof."

When he heard this, Beitang You was slightly relieved. He looked at the cloak in Ling'er's hand and said, "Give it to me."

Ling'er passed it to him respectfully.

Beitang You took the cloak from her but did not immediately go up the roof. Instead, he returned to his room. After a while, he walked out wearing only his inner garment.

Ling'er was stunned.

It was cold at night. Why would His Majesty wear such thin clothes to go up the roof?

Yaoyao was sitting in the middle of the roof at that moment. She was facing the direction of Great Shang and was staring at the moon in a daze.
