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

"According to our system's 24-hour investigation in the past few days, we even applied to the headquarters to retrieve the serial numbers of each system model - we finally found out that there are currently 5 systems that have lost contact with the headquarters!"

Xia Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this. This damn bot was stubborn at first, but in the end he secretly investigated his colleagues!

"In other words... this incident was most likely done by your five missing colleagues?"

"Not necessarily, but this can be counted as an unknown factor. At least, we can investigate in this direction, so it's not a wasted effort."

"It was able to allow this system to be unaware and directly locate the host across the world... I think it is indeed related to the headquarters. Therefore, this system has submitted the host's situation to the headquarters. Please wait patiently."

It seems that the system has not been having a good time these days.

Seeing that Xia Zhiyuan was in a daze after he finished speaking, Zhao Changlin thought that Xia Zhiyuan did not believe what he said.

So she simply took off the wrist guard on her wrist, pulled out the long rope with her fingers, and pulled it gently, and the inky black thin rope fell from her wrist.

The wrist guard fell off.

Zhao Changlin stretched out his fingers and placed his palm on the back of Xia Zhiyuan's hand. His thumb touched the skin on the back of Xia Zhiyuan's hand and Zhao Changlin rubbed it gently.

"From today on, I will no longer be the emperor."

"How about being Zhiyuan's bodyguard alone?"

His Highness has not eaten or slept well these past few days. There is a dark blue mark under his eyes, and it makes people feel... extremely distressed.

"it is good."

Responded softly.

Xia Zhiyuan stretched out her index finger and traced the corner of Zhao Changlin's lips. She narrowed her eyes slightly and could tell at a glance that this little fox had no good plans.

"As a guard, Your Highness, it is best for you to stay by Zhiyuan's side for twelve hours, rest together, eat together, and never leave his side."

After she finished speaking, she raised a finger and waved it in front of Zhao Changlin, as if she was afraid that Zhao Changlin would disagree.

What kind of reasons are these?

Zhao Changlin smiled even more, like a blooming peony. She naturally knew that Zhiyuan said this out of concern for her, so she also stretched out her index finger, placed it on Xia Zhiyuan's index finger fingerprint, and pressed down gently.

Just consider this as your consent.

.........

There is a saying that even if you put on the dragon robe you don't look like an emperor, but Zhao Yihan felt that she looked quite similar, except... Sister Changlin's robe was still a little too big for her.

It feels a little loose when I put it on.

Fortunately, the belt can be tightened a bit, so it looks more like the real thing.

"Princess, it's late, why don't you go to bed."

Di Ping turned around, holding the ink-colored scabbard in her hand. She stood obediently against the wall, not daring to get closer for even a moment.

"Are you here to advise this princess again?"

"Di Ping, you have to know that now... you are no longer someone under Sister Changlin's command. You are someone under my command."

"What you have to do is to obey me in everything you say and do."

Zhao Yihan sat on the bed. She planned to try out the role of Di Ping tonight to see if she could act like Zhao Changlin.

As a result, the words he spoke began to become strict, as if he was interrogating his subordinates.

Zhao Yihan leaned on the bed like a boneless person. She looked at Di Ping who was standing properly, and for some reason, she felt like teasing him.

I reached out and picked up a bunch of green grapes placed on the bedside. The round and smooth, fresh grapes looked very appetizing under the candlelight.

"Good dog, come here."

"I will reward you."

She doesn't look like a princess at all, she is clearly just acting herself.

Di Ping was speechless, but his majesty's order was indeed for him to protect the princess' safety during this period of time.

Zhao Yihan put the green grapes into his mouth and chewed them. The sweet juice spread in his mouth.

This was specially prepared for Your Majesty by the prefect a day ago. Although the green grapes in the greenhouse are not as fresh and delicious as those in season, they are still delicious.

"Aren't you coming over, Di Ping?"

"My patience has its limits~"

Continuing to pick a green grape from the vine, Zhao Yihan pinched the grape, threw it forward, and smashed it in the direction of Di Ping.

Di Ping clenched the handle of the knife with his fingers, and in an instant, he pulled out the blade. Grape jumped lightly and landed on the inky blade, rolling forward.

Di Ping still held the blade on his wrist, in an extremely balanced state, with the grapes resting in the middle of the blade.

"Princess, you shouldn't eat too much at night."

"It will cause bloating."

Di Ping looked at the grape and finally continued to persuade.

His Majesty only ordered him to guard the princess's safety, but did not say that he had to obey the princess's orders completely, so Di Ping still regarded himself as the captain of the Shadow Guard.

"Isn't that better? If you are sick, you don't have to pretend to be sick. After all, isn't our mission to make those thieves believe... that the current emperor is in this camp?"

Zhao Yihan was open-minded. He thought that only if he dressed up as Zhao Changlin and became the mainstay here, Zhao Changlin could concentrate on investigating who wanted to stop the expansion of the Grand Canal.

Almost all the people living downstream of the canal have been relocated, leaving only the families designated by the imperial court.

The village where the people moved to belonged to the imperial court. This was not a desolate wilderness. Without the imperial court's permission, no matter how brave they were, they would not dare to reclaim the wasteland and grow crops.

Therefore, in order to allow the people to relocate, the imperial court allowed the village chief and local officials to divide the land and farmland together so that the entire village could be governed.

This approach was unanimously praised. Moreover, the court would provide subsidies until the beginning of the next spring. Although the amount was not large, it was enough for the frugal people to survive until the autumn harvest season.

Therefore, the Grand Canal project went smoothly, and the court allocated funds in a timely manner... After all, everyone under his command knew that the person in charge of this project was a favorite of His Majesty and the person next to His Majesty, so it would be a pity if there was any shortfall.

Then your black hat will just be waiting to... fall in front of the guillotine.

However, while some people are happy about this matter, naturally there are also people who are sad.

Once the canal route is opened, those who originally made a living from this will definitely be affected.

The waterway that Xia Zhiyuan used for testing at the beginning had already made a lot of money.

After the majority of people benefit, they will inevitably deprive the small group of people who originally benefited from it of their share.

Di Ping heard Zhao Yihan's sophistry and remained silent. She turned her wrist, made a beautiful knife flower, and put the ink blade back into the sheath.

Said: "Princess, this is not a joke."
