Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

What? Can this also increase favorability?

Could it be that... Zhao Changlin really has that kind of fetish? Xia Zhiyuan swallowed her saliva carefully, but her fearful look yet her determination to face the challenge head-on made Zhao Changlin unable to let go of her.

But what touched his lips before the frosted glutinous rice balls was a warm sensation, and Xia Zhiyuan only felt that he smelled a pleasant scent.

Zhao Changlin kissed the corner of her lips like a dragonfly touching the water. In just a moment, Xia Zhiyuan felt the air freeze.

She grabbed the hem of her skirt with her fingers, feeling a little unsure what to do, and her fingertips rubbed the edge of her skirt slightly.

Then, a hint of sweetness came to his lips, and the tip of his tongue touched the surface of the sugar-frosted glutinous rice balls. Xia Zhiyuan felt that the sweetness spread from the corners of his lips to his heart.

"Why are you in a daze? I just kissed you."

Zhao Changlin loosened his grip on Xia Zhiyuan's cheek, and with his fingertips he lifted a strand of Xia Zhiyuan's black hair, which gradually faded away around his finger, leaving him with a feeling of wanting more.

The bamboo forest outside the pavilion rustled in the breeze, and withered yellow bamboo leaves kept falling from the forest and landing on the green tiles.

In the corner of the pavilion hangs a rain bell to collect rainwater, which makes a sound when it collides slightly.

"Your Highness..."

Xia Zhiyuan stuttered and didn't know what to say. It was as if he had been racking his brains for an answer in class, and now the answer was suddenly in front of him.

"Sorry, I was abrupt."

"But you have to think carefully. If you keep getting close to me, I might do anything~"

Since he knew so clearly what she was thinking, he might as well just scare her away. Zhao Changlin had never tried what it felt like to kiss another person's lips.

She just felt that the feeling was a little gentle, but she didn't blush or feel nervous.

The smile at the corner of his eyes continued to rise.

People who have done bad things will not feel afraid.

Xia Zhiyuan finally felt it clearly, but she was not scared away by Zhao Changlin's actions because she could actually hear the feedback information given by the system.

So it proves that...when Zhao Changlin did these things, there was probably a bit of confusion and love in it.

This is not a threat to Xia Zhiyuan at all, but he has to be more cautious from now on.

"Your Highness...what will you do?"

“Ji Won is curious.”

She looked half innocent and half ignorant, and after being kissed, she did not act as if she was molested or flirted with. Instead, she calmly poured herself a cup of hot tea.

Watching the steam rising from the tea and the white smoke curling up.

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know in front of me?"

"Do you know what will happen if you lie to me?"

On the bluestone path in the bamboo forest stood two shadow guards, still wearing the lifeless black iron masks, their eyes so dark that they were almost invisible.

Both of them kept their hands on the hilts of their swords and never left them.

"Of course I know."

"But I think... Your Highness is not that kind of person."

This time, Xia Zhiyuan did not fabricate lies, but spoke his true feelings, both in the original novel and now that he had actually met Zhao Changlin.

She always feels this way.

Although in the original novel, Zhao Changlin had countless noblemen from the capital, or various suitors, she remained unmoved.

But it is also true that she is frivolous everywhere, so many characters are willing to work for her.

"Is this considered a compliment?"

"This is the first time I've heard someone say that about me."

There were a wide variety of dishes on the table, but Zhao Changlin had no appetite to eat. She just felt that her whole body and soul seemed to be attracted by the woman in front of her.

"Really? I guess His Highness has so many people around him that he should not be short of people to please him."

Xia Zhiyuan was neither humble nor arrogant and spoke seriously.

"It was so much fun."

"Aren't you the same kind as them?"

Zhao Changlin continued to look at Xia Zhiyuan. Someone like her, lying on the bed, with the sunlight shining through the gaps in the bamboo forest hitting her cheeks, also looked unusually fair.

Red lips are like cherries.

But for some reason, Zhao Changlin felt that Xia Zhiyuan, a dead tree that was terminally ill, had a new bud struggling to climb upwards.

Is this her illusion?

"What does your highness think of Zhiyuan? It's not up to Zhiyuan to decide. Your highness has the final say."

Picking up the teacup, covering his face with his sleeves, Xia Zhiyuan took a sip of hot tea.

This is the well-known tactic of passing the buck. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Let Her Royal Highness the Princess answer this question herself.

"Yeah...I know."

"Little guy, you are so interesting."

"I think we'll meet again later. Oh, by the way, did you take the medicine I gave you that day?"

Xia Zhiyuan's information was not difficult to find. He only needed to raise his hand slightly, and the shadow guard would find out all of Xia Zhiyuan's information in just two hours, including her birth date.

Naturally, I also know that her illness cannot be cured. On the one hand, it is because of her heart disease, and on the other hand, it is because she is reluctant to see a doctor.

"Such a valuable gift, naturally... Zhiyuan would not dare to be careless..."

Before he could finish his words, Xia Zhiyuan felt a light blow on his forehead, and it was slightly painful through his hair.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Xia Zhiyuan covered the place where Zhao Changlin had just tapped with his palm and looked at Zhao Changlin with a puzzled look.

She looked a little bit cute, which made Zhao Changlin a little distracted, but it was only for a moment and she restrained herself well.

"Your Highness, why is this...?"

Ahhhhhhhh! How hateful! Xia Zhiyuan screamed in his heart, why do you always slap people on the head? It will keep them from growing taller!

"Asking knowingly."

"I gave you supplements because I wanted you to get better soon, not because I wanted you to...hoard all these things like a hibernating animal."

"If you were not in good health, how could you withstand my torture?"

Zhao Changlin was talking about what she wanted to say, but she didn't move her eyes away and kept staring straight into Xia Zhiyuan's eyes.

"You are very interesting. I haven't seen such an interesting person in this Jinzhou City for a long time."

"Old-fashioned, rigid and conservative, everyone in the palace has such a dull face."

Unlike the pot of tea in Xia Zhiyuan's hand, Zhao Changlin had a pot of wine in her hand, and her fingertips were clasping the handle of the pot.

The poured rice wine was turbid, but extremely fragrant. Zhao Changlin put the wine to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.

…Your Highness, is it really okay for you to gossip about the people in the Cricket Palace behind their backs?

After only a few days of contact, Xia Zhiyuan saw many sides of Zhao Changlin that were never revealed in the novel. Perhaps because she was not the protagonist, the author rarely described her.

In a sense, the villain only needs to appear vicious in front of the readers, and this is also a successful villain.
