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

Xia Zhiyuan was sleeping comfortably and naturally couldn't control himself. At the beginning, he was still somewhat restrained, but in the second half of the night, Xia Zhiyuan hooked onto Zhao Changlin's body like an octopus.

Fits tightly.

This place is different from the warm rooms in the palaces in the imperial city. Although the furniture, food, clothing and daily necessities of the wing rooms are not bad, but... compared with the imperial palace, it is just a storage room.

Zhao Changlin saw it and naturally felt pain in his heart.

In the past few days, she had people buy a lot of things, even the window paper was replaced. This window paper was specially provided for the emperor, it was exquisite and luxurious, and it was very cold-proof and moisture-proof.

A blanket was laid on the floor, and a small heater was placed there, which made me feel a little more comfortable.

The weather in early spring is still a bit cold, but it will probably get better in early summer.

“Ji Won… do you want to get more sleep?”

Seeing Xia Zhiyuan's eyes open in a daze, Zhao Changlin asked softly. After a night, her voice was a little hoarse.

But it sounds very pleasant.

Xia Zhiyuan felt as if he had been bewitched by His Highness. Otherwise, why did he find His Highness's voice so seductive when he just woke up in the morning?

"No, there is one thing I didn't tell Your Highness last night."

"Ji-won... we have caught the master of the arrow that shot and injured Ji-won."

His eyes were slightly narrowed with a smile.

Xia Zhiyuan was like a cat slave holding a mouse in its mouth, showing off to its master, wagging its tail and walking around on tiptoe.

"Really? It was a little secret you did while I was at Shanghe Village?"

Without even having to guess carefully, Zhao Changlin could tell when Xia Zhiyuan had acted alone and secretly.

"How can it be a little secret? Didn't Your Highness go down the mine alone, risking his life?"

"But it seems that the thermal imaging device Zhiyuan gave to His Highness is still useful."

Xia Zhiyuan received the news on the same day that there was indeed an ambush in the mine, and two shadow guards were shot by arrows.

Fortunately, the shadow guards' armor was secretly made by the imperial court and could protect against arrows, so they only suffered minor injuries.

It's not serious.

However, Xia Zhiyuan was still worried about this for the whole day, although he still had great confidence in His Highness's skills.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

People always make mistakes. Your Highness is a human being, not a god.

Knowing that His Highness was determined to go to the mine to check the mine personally, Xia Zhiyuan chose the modern technology plug-in in the system mall, which only required thermal imaging.

So, no matter how dark it is in the room, no matter how pitch-black it is, as long as there is an enemy on the opposite side, Your Highness will be able to see it clearly.

It's like having a perspective cheat turned on.

"It is indeed a good thing, but... Zhiyuan, was this also obtained from that other world?"

Until the moment the secret bag is opened.

Only then did Zhao Changlin become certain that what he had experienced before was not just a fantasy, but a real thing.

"Well, Your Highness can understand it this way."

"Keep it well."

“It’s not cheap…”

It is indeed not cheap.

After all, these were the points he had accumulated with great difficulty, although Xia Zhiyuan gave the system the middle finger every day and asked the system to pay him compensation for mental damage.

——It means that the system will convert the points to yourself.

This is not an excessive request. After all, Xia Zhiyuan almost died because of the system error.

"Host, regarding this major bug, this system has already reported it to the headquarters. I believe that the 1000 points to compensate the host will be credited to your account soon. Please wait patiently."

As if it could understand her thoughts, the system, which had been depressed for a long time, came online again. It kept checking back and forth, but still found nothing.

The system feels that, as an excellent system, the reason why it has never been able to find the problem is most likely due to the headquarters' rule of non-interference between systems.

"1000 points... That's a lot, dear Tun, can I exchange it for a luck card for good luck in my next life?"

"Of course, but it's very expensive, host, please think twice before you act."

Xia Zhiyuan took a closer look and suddenly felt that his mother tongue was speechless. This was not just expensive, the selling price was 1000 points.

"Well, saving your life is the most important thing..."

She should take a look first to see if there is anything she needs.

"So, what does Zhiyuan want in return?"

Zhao Changlin lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed. It was already noon.

I think the people she sent out should have returned by now.

The long ink-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall onto Zhao Changlin's white nightgown. The embroidered golden dragon scales overlapped layer by layer, and felt very smooth to the touch.

It looks like it's made of real dragon scales and feels really good.

"Your Highness, didn't you give them all to Zhiyuan last night?"

"Zhiyuan still likes the amulet I got from the temple."

"Peace and happiness, health and no worries."

Xia Zhiyuan leaned on Zhao Changlin, still somewhat reluctant to leave this morning alone time.

The red amulet on her wrist fell on Zhao Changlin's shoulder, swaying.

A joy in my heart.

Zhao Changlin held Xia Zhiyuan's wrist, tilted his head and whispered to her, "I understand."

"But didn't Zhiyuan want to know yesterday what the intentions of those horse thieves were?"

"I think the shadow guard will bring back the answer this morning."

"How about Zhiyuan accompany me to listen?"

"Okay?"

Zhao Changlin stood up, not caring about her messy hair. Instead, she hugged Xia Zhiyuan and her fingertips touched Xia Zhiyuan's skin.

Still a little cold.

However, Zhao Changlin had already gotten used to it.

She just wanted to hug the person in front of her tighter and tighter.

Never let go again.

"If they are really hired by the person who funded the pirates, I'm afraid the whole imperial city will be in turmoil. I will definitely investigate which families are involved."

"They have evil ambitions. We cannot let them stay."

This is what is called pulling up the radish and bringing up the mud. Truth will eventually come to light. As long as something has been done, there will be clues left behind.

The fact that he could come up with such a large sum of money was the most direct and powerful clue, and it was also very directional.

No matter how greedy the government office in Longcheng is, it cannot make so much money. If they were protected by a noble family, it would be easy to explain. However, apart from the local tyrants who made their fortunes through business, there are really no high-ranking officials or marquises in Longcheng.

Even if there are officials in the imperial city who have some blood relationship with Longcheng, none of them are willing to return to this remote countryside.

To put it nicely, it means retiring to one's hometown, tracing one's roots and returning to one's roots.

To put it bluntly, I was demoted by His Majesty because I failed to perform my duties properly.
