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

The person holding her wrist was now another one, but the strength of that person was very light, and she also had a black leather wristband on her hand.

"Your Highness... Zhiyuan has been bedridden since childhood, so he is not... interested in... studying with me..."

He spoke a little haltingly.

However, this was also within Xia Zhiyuan's calculation. If he accepted it directly without any polite refusal, wouldn't that be very unreasonable?

However, she just declined briefly, which didn't mean she really didn't want to go.

How can we miss such a good thing that falls from the sky?

"You, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Who said that a study partner must study?"

"There are many things to do as a reading companion."

"However, with your fragile body, I will not make things too difficult for you."

"If you can make me happy and satisfied, then... I won't punish you any more."

There are many things to do as a reading companion.

No, what happened?

In an instant, Xia Zhiyuan's mind was filled with all kinds of strange novels that he had read before, and there were even many indescribable scenes in them.

In ancient times... No, that can't be said. Anyway, some authors with special fetishes would set up companions...

Stop! Stop here, don’t think any further.

Xia Zhiyuan felt that at this moment his brain was contaminated by some yellow waste.

Looking at the girl in front of him with skin as white as snow, her cheeks flushed red. Zhao Changlin narrowed his eyes in amusement and gradually loosened his grip on her wrist.

"What are you thinking about...?"

"Your face is so red and hot, is it because the wind is too strong at night?"

"So... you caught a cold?"

It's quite fun to tease her like this.

But what Zhao Changlin said was not wrong. In the original book, although the role of "reading companion" was not openly described, the author did focus on describing that the male protagonist and his reading companion had an unspeakable secret.

Xia Zhiyuan knew that pretending to be stupid would not work, so... he might as well just accept his fate.

No, when you are pursuing someone you can't appear to be too devoted.

We have to fish this guy out before we can catch him.

"Your Highness... Zhiyuan... has never done such a thing, so it won't happen... Your Highness..."

There was a pause in his speech, and Xia Zhiyuan's cheeks flushed. He grabbed a corner of his cloak with both hands and rubbed the embroidery on it.

She lowered her eyelashes, not daring to look directly at Zhao Changlin.

She looked so adorable. Zhao Changlin used his other hand to untie the leather armor on his hand. It was just used to prevent injuries to his hands when practicing archery.

But such armor might scratch Xia Zhiyuan's skin, and it would not be convenient to hold hands.

The red rope gradually untied from the black leather and fell down. Her two fingers were very fast, slender and flexible. Her fingertips pressed against the tight knot of the red rope and with just a few light tugs, it quickly untied.

Handing his armor to the black shadow guard beside him, Zhao Changlin stretched out his hand in front of Xia Zhiyuan again, perhaps because he had been wearing the armor for a long time.

So there were some red marks on Zhao Changlin's palm, but before Xia Zhiyuan could take a closer look, his hesitantly extended hand was grabbed.

"If you don't know, I can teach you little by little."

"However, it's cold outside at night, so it's better not to stay too long."

Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhiyuan was completely led forward by Zhao Changlin. The two of them interlocked their fingers, blending together, and could almost feel each other's heartbeat and warmth.

"Your Highness, you took Zhiyuan away so casually. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

If someone else had asked this question, they would have been beheaded by now, but since she asked it, it seemed so reasonable.

He paused, and this time Zhao Changlin did not let go of Xia Zhiyuan's hand. Instead, he pulled him forward capriciously, and Xia Zhiyuan staggered.

However, Zhao Changlin, who was in complete control, did not let her fall. Instead, he supported her waist at the critical moment.

"Father will not punish me because of you."

Although these words were unpleasant to hear, Xia Zhiyuan knew that His Highness was telling the truth. After all, she was just the daughter of a minister.

"But if you don't want to, I won't force you."

"There is a folk saying that goes, 'A forced melon is not sweet.'"

wrong.

She has always believed that those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish, but for some reason, when she sees Xia Zhiyuan's eyes now, she doesn't want to force her.

It’s like a dying body, housing a vibrant soul.

Such a person, on the contrary, can arouse Zhao Changlin's desire to explore and conquer her. He always wants to peel her off layer by layer to see the real heart inside.

What does it look like?

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Congratulations, host. Your capture target's favorability has increased by 5% now~"

No way, this can be added?

Is the legendary villain really a masochist? No, with such an A face, he must be at least an S-type!

……

"Tomorrow I will send someone from the mansion to move all your belongings over."

"The imperial physician from the palace will come every morning and evening."

"Will this make you feel better?"

Zhao Changlin was dressed in a heroic manner today, with her long hair standing up high, but some of it fell down from her temples. She was holding a white flower that she had just picked from the Xia Mansion with her fingertips, and the petals were slightly green, which looked very beautiful.

Xiaohua circled in front of her again and again, and finally stopped in front of Xia Zhiyuan.

"Why is your highness so nice to me?"

Xia Zhiyuan took the flower and felt a faint and refreshing fragrance entering his nostrils. He looked at Zhao Changlin with some confusion.

Is there any good thing in this world where prey walks into a trap?

The carriage was moving steadily and slowly on the official road, and only the sound of wheel tracks could be heard.

"Because I don't want to let someone succeed in their plan, and I also don't want to... let you walk into the cage that has already been set."

"You know, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion has been selecting good-looking and well-behaved girls these days, but at the same time, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion is asking Minister Xia about you."

"All they want is your identity."

"A decent girl is married to be a concubine."

How could such a large and loyal Marquis's Mansion not have an heir to the title?

With Xia Zhiyuan's current health, it would be difficult for him to manage the affairs of the Marquisate, let alone have a child. From the very beginning, the Marquisate of Loyalty and Bravery had never expected Xia Zhiyuan to be able to give birth to a child for the Marquis.

"So, Your Highness really has put a lot of thought into Zhiyuan."

He is very similar to the Zhao Changlin he imagined, still so willful and sinister.
