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

The climate in early spring is still a little cool.

Xia Zhiyuan reached out to untie the thin ropes wrapped around Zhao Changlin's body, and hung the armor neatly on the hanger next to him. The armor was damp and mixed with blood, which dripped onto the wooden floor.

It looks very scary.

At the beginning, the atmosphere between the two was somewhat relaxed, but now it has become somewhat solemn.

"Why are you frowning like that?"

"It's not like I'm really hurt, Ji Won..."

Zhao Changlin took off her coat. The wet coat was almost indistinguishable from her skin. Her white collarbone was faintly visible, which made people's chests warm.

My mind is full of thoughts.

Zhao Changlin smiled as she lifted the collar of her shirt with her slender fingertips. She knew that Zhiyuan did this because he was worried that she was seriously injured on the battlefield.

"Look, where am I injured?"

"When have I ever broken my promise to you?"

She was not shy at all. She took off her clothes, and her wet lining piled up at her waist. This charming scene made Xia Zhiyuan blush.

Obviously, the two of them had been frank with each other many times, but she didn't know why she still felt a little embarrassed in front of such a charming prince and wanted to hide under the table.

"Don't you dare...look at your sister?"

"Jiyuan... when did you become so timid? But your sister... doesn't know?"

With a charming tone, Zhao Changlin moved closer, her red lips almost touching Xia Zhiyuan's cheek. She didn't care about the rain on her body, she only wanted to tease Zhiyuan's cute appearance.

There was a stove burning in the room, and it was very warm. Even the moisture on Zhao Changlin's body began to turn into a wisp of white mist that rose up.

Your Highness becomes even more charming like this.

"No...no...it's actually embarrassing that Your Highness is like this now!"

"Your Highness, please put on your clothes quickly!"

Turning around, Xia Zhiyuan didn't care about the dizziness and hurriedly took down Zhao Changlin's moon-white dragon robe from the hanger that had been prepared long ago.

My fingertips touched the warm silk, which had just been warmed on the stove so that His Highness would not feel cold when wearing it.

There was a lingering scent of medicinal herbs on it, and Xia Zhiyuan quickly draped the clothes over Zhao Changlin's head, blocking Zhao Changlin's view of him.

Grasping his nightgown with his fingertips, Zhao Changlin draped it over his shoulders. However, Zhao Changlin did not care whether his clothes were neatly worn.

"I have already changed... Zhiyuan has been exposed to the elements outside, so he should also change his clothes, right?"

It had been a long time since the last time they parted. When Xia Zhiyuan had no way to retreat, he raised his eyes and looked carefully at His Highness's body.

I saw that His Highness seemed to be thinner than before, with a more obvious waistline on his abdomen and a few faint abdominal muscles rising and falling.

Probably due to the long journeys on horseback through the mountains and forests, he lost some weight, and his collarbone became more obvious, which was funny but also a little heartbreaking.

Being pushed into this by His Highness, Xia Zhiyuan was afraid that he would be taken advantage of in broad daylight, so he racked his brains and thought of what His Highness had said before, that he would give him a gift.

She decided to change the subject first. This kind of thing should at least be done under the cover of darkness and wind. It would be more or less inappropriate during the day. Moreover, Xia Zhiyuan was planning to host a celebration banquet for the great victory in Xizhou City.

I can't just be locked up by His Highness like this.

"Didn't His Highness say that he brought a great gift for Zhiyuan?"

"Now, Zhiyuan is very curious about what His Highness brought here..."

"There is only Zhiyuan here. Your Highness, please tell Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan is all ears."

Xia Zhiyuan felt confident enough to act rashly. He walked forward and carefully arranged the clothes that Zhao Changlin had not put on. He even picked up Zhao Changlin's moon-white belt as if nothing had happened.

It was wrapped around Zhao Changlin's slender waist, with her fingertips wrapped around the belt and tied into a beautiful knot. The belt fluttered down, still having the familiar feel.

This seemed to be the white nightgown belt that fell on her eyes. Xia Zhiyuan originally thought that based on His Highness's usual style, he would throw away the belt, but he didn't expect that His Highness still kept it.

"So Zhiyuan is curious about this..."

"It was originally prepared for Zhiyuan. Now that you want to know, I will tell you."

Zhao Changlin thought about the gift she had prepared for a long time, and a sweet feeling arose in her heart. She inquired about the gift day and night and sent a large number of people to process and add some points, just to take the gift and bring it to Zhiyuan personally before she went to the battlefield in person.

"what is that……?"

Originally just to find a question to change the subject, Xia Zhiyuan unknowingly let himself in. His Highness's expression was rarely so serious, and even his obsidian-black eyes were very sincere.

It seemed as if His Highness had really put a lot of effort into that gift and wanted to bring it to him.

"Now is not the time to make it public... Wait until your celebration party is over, and I will hand it to you personally."

"Okay?"

Zhao Changlin naturally knew that the celebration banquet held in Xizhou City was extremely important to Xia Zhiyuan and her future career, so he could not distract her at this critical juncture.

Even if it is a gift that you brought with great difficulty, it will not work.

"This will make Zhiyuan look forward to it... What exactly does His Highness bring..."

Your Highness is still using this trick. It would have been better if you hadn't said it. Now that you have mentioned it, I feel itchy all over and can't help wondering what that thing is.

Xia Zhiyuan wished he could see it immediately.

"Then look forward to it. I don't know if you will like it, but... I hope it is not sent to the wrong person."

There was desire in Zhao Changlin's eyes. The injured back of his hand had been bandaged, and his somewhat cold fingertips fell on Zhiyuan's warm cheek.

It seems that her body has recovered well in recent days, and her body finally has some warmth. Zhao Changlin couldn't control his fingers and pinched her twice more.

I just felt that Xia Zhiyuan's cheeks were rounder, soft and elastic to the touch.

……

By nightfall, the people of Xizhou City had already learned of the great victory. They opened their locked doors and moved the bolts.

There was even more news that made the people of Xizhou City cheer as they spread among the crowd. The imperial court came not only to suppress the rebels, but more importantly to wipe out the river bandits who had been causing trouble on the border of Xizhou City.

He was determined to restore peace and prosperity to Xizhou City, eliminate the important positions occupied by the pirates, re-establish the trade port, and incorporate the merchant ships to serve the court.

It is better to prepare in advance to fight against the Daluo Kingdom.
