Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 529: Embracing a Golden Thigh

Wufu awoke again to find the sky already bright outside. She blinked twice at the canopy overhead before propping herself up from the bed.

Someone pushed the door open and came in. Wufu looked over—it was her own little maid.

"Miss, Miss, you’re awake!" Hongyu exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Wufu awake.

Wufu yawned and teased, "It’s just a night’s sleep, why are you reacting as if I had woken up after a year?"

She threw back the covers, intending to get up, but just as she stood, her body swayed.

Hongyu immediately put down the washbasin and rushed over to her, extending her hand to support her and said anxiously, "Miss, be careful. Brother Xiao Li said you were poisoned by some aphrodisiac, so you’ll feel weak."

No wonder, she thought. She couldn’t possibly be that frail. Although that Big Man was a bit tough to handle, she might not have lost the fight. However, after the fight, it felt as if all her strength was drawn out, and her arms and legs trembled.

"Miss, wash your face first. I made a pot of bird’s nest chicken porridge last night and have been keeping it warm on the stove, just waiting for you to wake up," Hongyu said as she wrung out a hot handkerchief and handed it over, "I’ll bring it over in a moment."

As Wufu wiped her face, she smiled and said, "Wow, such delicacies? Bring it quickly, I’m really hungry!"

She had been thirsty and hungry since she was kidnapped, and coupled with her weakness, she had been feeling hungry for a while now.

As she spoke, her stomach made a rumbling noise.

"It’s Ninth Master who instructed me to do it, saying you’d be hungry when you woke up," Hongyu replied. Recalling Ah Jiu’s identity, she leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Miss, do you know Ninth Master’s identity?"

"Hmm?"

"Turns out Ninth Master is royalty!" Hongyu’s eyes sparkled as she said, "After you were kidnapped yesterday, Ninth Master was so anxious he sent people out to find you. I only learned that he was royal when I heard Liu Jin and Yuan Ye addressing him as Ninth Master. It scared me to death."

Wufu frowned.

She knew he was someone of no ordinary status, perhaps thinking he was a gentleman from an illustrious family, but it was unexpected that he was of such noble birth. Was he not a scion of the Royal Family?

She didn’t fully understand the royal lineage, but those who were called royalty were either scions of the Royal Family or people of great merit who had been granted a royal title. Then there were also the hereditary princes who were likewise addressed as royalty.

She wondered which one he was.

Regardless of which one, it was someone far above her status—a girl with an obscure rural background who could only look up to such a stature.

But having said that, considering he was royalty, could this be considered as having latched onto a golden thigh?

"Miss, my apologies, I was incapable, I let you suffer!" Hongyu suddenly knelt down.

Wufu was taken aback for a moment and then chided her with a smile, urging her to get up, "What nonsense are you speaking? What does this have to do with you? This was directed at me."

"If I knew martial arts, I wouldn’t have let the Miss suffer," Hongyu said, blaming herself.

Wufu laughed and said, "Learning martial arts isn’t that simple. It’s okay that you don’t know how. They say everyone has a purpose. As long as you do what you’re good at, that is also useful. For example, taking care of all your mistress’ needs and making sure I have nothing to worry about is also a skill." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Hongyu gave a bashful smile and said, "I still have much to improve upon."

"Don’t worry, you’ve only been with me for a short time, just half a year. You’re still young, and there’s plenty of time ahead. As long as you’re willing to learn, that’s good. Learn a little every day, and over time, it adds up. Who’s to say you won’t have learned a skill later on?" Wufu comforted her.

Hongyu’s eyes brightened as she nodded vigorously, "Miss, I will definitely learn well."

"Good. Now go and bring the porridge before your mistress starves to death!" Wufu nudged her.
