An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 179

The man scowled, "Everything is ready. As long as he appears, he won't be able to escape. But the drug on the robe somehow didn't work. I tested him on purpose just now, but he seemed quite normal. Since the robe didn't work, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to lure him here."

Hearing his words, Ruyu raised her brows and said with smug satisfaction, "I didn't have an idea before, but now I know how to lure him here. Look at me. Do I look like someone?"

The man stared at Ruyu for a long time before he looked at her hairpin, "Princess Yun Shang?"

Ruyu nodded and smiled, full of confidence, "We were caught in the rain, so Princess Yun Shang gave her clothes to us. I chose this suit deliberately as it looks like the one she wore. She gave me her hairpin. If I were to sit in a remote place with my back to him, he would believe I'm Princess Yun Shang. Besides, I secretly took Princess Yun Shang's silk handkerchief..."

The man thought for a while before he nodded, "Since you are so confident, just do it as there isn't much else to do. Prince Jing is indeed not an ordinary person as he was able to ascertain that there was something wrong with the robe."

Ruyu was still absorbed in her own thoughts. The man frowned and enjoined, "Be careful."

Ruyu was rapt in her fantasy world and wondered how she would seduce the Prince so that they would spend all night in bed together. She didn't notice what the man in gray said. She said, "Don't worry. I'm leaving now. He will be here soon. Be prepared."

Ruyu didn't know that someone had reported to Prince Jing what had happened between her and the man in gray. While watching the performance on the stage, Prince Jing curled his lips and said indifferently, "I want to know who is so bold as to set up a trap for me in the Imperial City. I wonder whether they are the same people who hurt me earlier."

Then he sat still and waited for Ruyu's people to execute her plan. Prince Jing had waited for about an hour, but nobody came to him. He frowned as he was about to call his guard. Just then a servant girl came to pour more tea into his cup. She discreetly gave him a silk handkerchief.

Prince Jing raised his brows as he unfolded the handkerchief and saw an embroidered letter, Shang. He remembered Yun Shang had used this handkerchief earlier in the morning. The servant whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, the Princess is waiting for you at the Lingya Pavilion."

Hearing her words, Prince Jing nodded and put the handkerchief into his sleeve nonchalantly.

After serving the tea, the servant immediately withdrew.

Prince Jing watched the performance for a while longer before standing. Then he walked slowly toward Lingya Pavilion.
