Quick Wear: The Villain's Beloved

The third prince was the husband of the heroine in the previous life. He was the one who killed the heroine's family after he ascended the throne. In the original owner's memory, her third brother was indeed capable and was relatively outstanding among all the princes.

He has always been humble and polite to outsiders, and many court officials have praised him. Unfortunately, Emperor Yan does not like him very much. In addition, his mother's family is in decline, and his biological mother, Concubine Zhen, is not favored in the harem. Therefore, there is no power behind the third prince to support him in competing for the position of crown prince.

The original owner had a pretty good relationship with the Third Prince. Of course, this was because the Third Prince would come to see her from time to time, and with more interactions, their brother-sister relationship seemed closer.

"Brother Three, what is the matter with you here?"

Lan Qian's attitude was neither cold nor indifferent.

She didn't want to waste her energy dealing with other people.

"It seems that Third Brother hasn't come to see you these days, so Xiao Jiu has become estranged from me." The Third Prince found a chair and sat down, his face gentle, "Third Brother's birthday is in two days, and this year the palace has specially invited the most famous opera troupe in Changchun Tower."

"It just so happens that my eldest brother has also returned from the border," he took out an invitation, "Let's have a good reunion together, and Xiaojiu can't be absent."

The eldest prince has foreign blood and will never be able to ascend to the throne in this life.

But he has been leading troops at the border for many years and has considerable military power, so he is a target who can be won over.

"Okay."

Lan Qian glanced at the invitation and accepted it.

I have been staying in my palace these days. Although my relationship with Mo Chen is improving, it is too slow. If I go out for a while... maybe there will be some unexpected developments.

"Then it is settled."

The Third Prince smiled, obviously happy. He stood up and said, "Third brother still has to go to Father's place, so I won't stay here any longer today."

After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something.

He paused and asked casually:

"I heard that the secret guard given by father always makes Xiaojiu angry. If Xiaojiu really hates him, it is better to hand him over to the third brother. The third brother will definitely discipline him well for you and send him back when he is obedient."

Hearing this, Lan Qian's slightly lowered eyes seemed to flash a hint of coldness.

But his tone was still cold and indifferent.

"No need."

"I will take care of my own people."

Being rejected, the Third Prince didn't seem to care much: "Then Xiaojiu will have to worry more. He's just a secret guard. As long as he can protect our safety, Xiaojiu doesn't have to bother him too much about other things."

……

After leaving the door, the third prince's attendant asked in confusion:

"Master, I don't quite understand why you asked the Ninth Princess for that secret guard and why you even spoke up for him in front of the Ninth Princess?"

It would be fine if he personally went to the palace to invite the Ninth Princess to attend the birthday banquet in two days. After all, the Ninth Princess is the most favored by the Emperor, and being on good terms with her over the years would also be beneficial to the master's plans.

But he is just a secret guard. Why should he make his master worry about him?

The Third Prince had already stopped smiling, his humble face showing some calculations: "You don't understand, Mo Chen is the most outstanding secret guard in the history of the Secret Guard Battalion, whether in martial arts, strategy, or assassination... If he wasn't a secret guard, he could have become a pillar of the court."

"If I could use such a loyal and sharp knife..."

It’s a pity that my father gave him to Xiaojiu.

"I heard that the Ninth Princess often beat and scolded him, so are you pleading for him today in order to win him over?"

In this way, even if the Ninth Princess does not let him go, there will be a chance for him to work for the Third Prince in the future.

"That's it."

A gleam of light flashed across the third prince’s eyes.

Given Xiaojiu's temper, it was hard to say whether his two pleas would backfire. If it led Xiaojiu to punish him even more severely, it would be easier for him to incite rebellion in the future. In any case, the result would be in his favor.

Inside the hall, Lan Qian's white fingers tapped on the table intermittently. She glanced at the invitation placed next to her and spoke softly:

"Mo Chen."

A man in black landed silently in front of her.

He lowered his head slightly, his expression calm.

"your Highness."

Tsk, so cold again.

Lan Qian tapped the tabletop with her fingers slowly, and spoke without any emotion: "You heard it just now, right? My third brother wants to take you away from me."

Mo Chen heard this and looked up at her.

He lowered his eyes again.

"I am the princess's secret guard."

"You are my secret guard now," Lan Qian stopped tapping the tabletop with her fingers, stood up, and suddenly moved closer to him, "But what if one day, the Emperor gives you to someone else?"

Perhaps it was because the question was too difficult to answer, or because the princess was too close to him, Mo Chen was unable to answer for a moment. After a while, he moved his lips and said, "Your subordinate..."

He started to speak, but couldn't continue.

As a secret guard, there are many things that he cannot decide. All he can do is obey orders. But if there really comes a day when His Majesty asks him to leave the little princess, what should he do?

Deep down, he didn't want to leave her.

"pain……"

Lan Qian's hand suddenly covered her heart.

This body is really fragile. She just felt a little bit angry in her heart because she saw that he didn't answer for a long time, just a little bit.

"Princess!"

Mo Chen quickly supported her, opened the purse hanging around her waist, took out a pill and fed it to her.

Ever since her last heart attack, Lan Qian has always carried this special medicine with her. Fortunately, the Imperial Hospital made the medicine into pills, which is convenient for her to carry and use.

"bitter……"

But this medicine is too bitter.

"Good medicine tastes bitter, please be patient, Princess."

Mo Chen supported her with one hand, and with the other hand he took a piece of candied fruit from the plate on the table and put it into her mouth. This candied fruit was specially prepared here so that Lan Qian would not taste the bitterness when taking the medicine.

Sure enough, with the candied fruit, the taste in the mouth is much sweeter.

After taking the medicine, Lan Qian felt that her heart disease was much relieved.

She leaned against the man, clutching his clothes in her hands.

"you are mine."

"It can only be mine, remember?"

Mo Chen looked at the weak but serious look of the girl, and his heart softened. His voice softened a bit, and he coaxed her softly: "Okay, I belong to the princess, and I will always be the princess's secret guard."

That's more or less.

Lan Qian felt her heart become more relaxed.

"I'm going to the Third Prince's Palace in two days. You come with me."

"it is good."

The man responded.

"Now, carry me to the yard."

"it is good."

The secret guard in black picked up the delicate little princess by the waist and walked out steadily with his upright posture.

……

Two days later, at the Third Prince’s Mansion.

Lan Qian didn't bring any maids with her, only Mo Chen.

"Xiao Jiu is here."

The Third Prince's face was full of humility and smiles. He was the protagonist today and many people came to the palace. In addition to the princes and princesses, there were also many court officials and young men and women from various palaces. His words and deeds were naturally impeccable.

"Brother Three Emperors."

Lan Qian nodded lightly.

The other guests had already arrived, and she was the last one to arrive today. But it didn't matter, everyone knew that the Ninth Princess was the most favored and had always been spoiled, so it was okay to be late, and no one dared to say anything.

"Is this the Mo Anwei?"

The third prince looked at Mo Chen behind her.

There was no emotion on Mo Chen's face. When he saw the Third Prince asking him specifically, he just lowered his eyes indifferently. As a secret guard, it was not his place to speak in such an occasion.

"Third brother is busy with the banquet today, so please don't worry about my secret guards." Lan Qian had a cold expression on her face. She walked past the Third Prince to her seat and sat down, while Mo Chen stood quietly behind her.

The third prince frowned, feeling that Xiaojiu seemed to be much colder towards him today than before. Could it be that the secret guard was so important to her?

But it doesn't matter, everything is going according to plan.

He winked at someone at the party.
