Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

Three days later.

She did not mention what happened that day again. No matter what he said, she greeted him with a smile. She did not care nor did she respond directly. The only thing that remained unchanged was that she did not return to the palace.

She also resisted Zhou Yian's diagnosis and the same went for taking medicine. He had to spend a long time persuading her and accompany her before she would take the medicine.

He was by her side almost all the time and stayed with her every night.

He hugged her and she didn't refuse, and he kissed her even more, but she didn't respond and didn't react at all.

Every day he lived in the pain of self-blame and hopelessness. He only hoped that she could be happier and look at him more.

"Yuer, does your hand still hurt?" He carefully applied medicine to her and bandaged it.

"It doesn't hurt."

Her eyes lingered on the exposed skin of his arm, where the bite was still severe.

She only applied medicine to him twice and then ignored it, and he did the same.

As his thoughts wandered, he held her hand and kissed it on his lips. "I have some business today and I have to go out. I will be back before dinner. Can you wait for me?"

She blinked and didn't respond in a hurry.

He saw what she meant, "Yu'er, are you going out today too?"

"kindness."

"Can you tell me where I'm going?"

"Go for a walk outside."

"Okay, let them notify me if anything happens."

Although he wanted to know where she was going, who she was meeting, and what she was doing, he refrained from asking, and even if he did, she would not tell him.

She nodded.

"Yuer, can you promise not to run around? I'll be worried."

"it is good."

Seeing that she agreed, he reached out and hugged her, and gently kissed her forehead.

After giving him instructions again and again, she watched him leave, wondering why even the kisses didn't have the warmth they once had. Was it because she couldn't feel it anymore? Or had it disappeared?

Not long after Xiao Yanqing left, the guard came hurriedly to report, "Princess, Miss Zhao is here to see you."

"Zhao Wanqiao?" She was slightly surprised.

"It's the princess."

She turned the cup in her hand slightly and fell silent, while the waiting guards bowed their heads and waited for her decision.

Now they all knew that even King Xiao spoke softly and cared for the person, so they dared not neglect him in the slightest.

Time passed by little by little, and after an unknown amount of time, the guards standing there felt their feet go numb.

Finally I heard her speak, "If she's still here, let her in."

After receiving her order, the guards hurried to check.

Zhao Wanqiao walked in curiously, wearing maid's clothes and escorted by guards.

"Princess." Seeing her, he smiled and came forward, "Your place is so beautiful."

"Yan Qing should have told you that your identity is a secret and you should not leave the house." She did not stand up, but drank her tea and turned her gaze to Zhao Wanqiao.

"So I disguised myself so I wouldn't be discovered." Zhao Wanqiao put her hands behind her back and smiled gently, not minding her harsh attitude at all.

Qing Yu put down the teacup and walked up to her.

It was obvious that Zhao Wanqiao was hiding her panic, and the same was true for the guards guarding behind her.

"Why did you come to me? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"The princess won't kill me." Zhao Wanqiao's eyes were filled with fear, yet she was extremely determined.

"Yes." She gave the answer.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wanqiao refuted again, "No, my intuition tells me that the princess will not kill me."

"Foolish, that's not how you use courage." She sat back down. "You are powerless and don't have any strategy to support your adventure. That's called stupidity."

Zhao Wanqiao pursed her lips and listened to her carefully.

She was right. I took the risk and came here just to...

"Yan Qing is not here." In her opinion, the purpose of Zhao Wanqiao coming here was to see him.

Zhao Wanqiao shook her head and took out the things on her back, "I want to give this to the princess."

She looked at the thing in her hand, which was an entirely white sachet decorated with floral embroidery.

"Why?" She stared at Zhao Wanqiao in surprise.

"That day, the princess saw my embroidery and I thought she might like it, so I thought of giving it to her, and thanking her for sparing my life." Zhao Wanqiao's sincere eyes undoubtedly expressed her heart.

At this moment, she felt that Zhao Wanqiao's behavior was extremely ridiculous, and that kindness and generosity could never save her life.

But she just couldn't laugh.

She took the sachet and held it in her hand. There were different flowers and unique totems on it. The layers of flowers, different stitches and techniques showed how much time and thought the embroiderer had put into it.

"The herbs that Master Zhou put in there are for calming the nerves." Zhao Wanqiao was afraid that she would think too much, so she quickly explained.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "Do you feel warm when Yan Qing hugs you?"

Zhao Wanqiao was stunned, and suddenly did not understand what she meant.

"Will you be happy?" she added again.

Zhao Wanqiao met her eyes, without any teasing intention, just wanting to know the answer.

"Yes... I feel warm, caring, and sheltered. It makes me feel like I'm back home. I'm very happy."

Hearing this, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart. The feeling of home... was gone, and she could no longer feel the warmth.

She put down the sachet in her hand and stood up. "If you want to continue living, don't show up in front of me."

After saying that, he walked out directly, leaving Zhao Wanqiao alone, wandering there at a loss.

Inside the palace.

Xiao Yanzhou learned about her recent situation and gradually became certain that something must have happened between her and King Xiao.

"The princess has been staying at the residence recently, and Prince Xiao has been staying with her and has not returned to Prince Xiao's residence."

He thought about what the secret guard said, could it be that they had a quarrel?

"Besides, I think the princess seems to be ill."

For some reason, he always felt uneasy, thinking that something must have happened to Xiaoyu.

"He Yi, go to the mansion to find Xiao Yu and tell her that I have something to discuss with her."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

But before He Yi left the hall, the eunuch came forward to report.

"Your Majesty, the princess requests an audience."

He was startled, then immediately reacted and called out, "Quick! Bring Xiao Yu over here."
