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

Chapter 29: I have the desire but not the courage

The hall was silent.

Zhao Changlin walked straight in, and when he reached the door, the imperial bow on his body had already been taken off.

No one may carry weapons when meeting His Majesty, even princes and princesses.

"What does Father want from me?"

After paying her respects, Zhao Changlin sat opposite the emperor with a serious look on her face. She knew that her father was calling her at this hour.

There must be something important to explain.

"Lin'er, I want to ask you."

"If so, I intend to hand over this country to you."

"Are you confident?"

Looking at the jade seal placed on the table, the emperor seemed to be just talking about an ordinary matter, no different from the family dinners in the past.

"If my father trusts me, Changlin will not hesitate to die."

Zhao Changlin answered politely. Although he was usually careless, the person in front of him was his father after all, the ruler of a country, the man who held the lifeline of the world.

The calm answer made the emperor smile lightly.

so similar.

So much like her mother.

"I do have this intention, but does Lin'er know? The road ahead is long and difficult."

"If your father is gone and no one is there to protect you from the wind and snow, don't be sad."

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

He knew that once he passed away, there would be chaos in the court and the whole country, with demons rampant and maybe even war.

The position of crown prince remained vacant for a long time.

There are countless people who are interested.

Even if I make all the calculations, I cannot protect Lin'er for his entire life, just like I am already the king of a country, above everyone else, but I still cannot save Lin'er's mother.

"Because Father believes that Lin'er can solve all the people and things that are in the way and kill all the evil demons in the world."

But before that, he, the father who was exhausted from work, had to personally settle everything for Lin'er.

"Father, why do you say that?"

"Isn't today a hunting day?"

Zhao Changlin already had a guess in his mind. Could it be that his father wanted to take advantage of this hunting trip to test the opinions of all the close ministers around him?

No——or rather, that was the consensus among the nobles of Jinzhou City.

"Yes and no."

"Lin'er, listen to me. If anyone dares to question you or refute you today, they will be killed without mercy."

"Eliminate the roots and don't leave them any chance to survive."

It was because I was too soft-hearted back then that... Lin'er lost his mother.

"Yes, I know."

Those in power must never be merciful, otherwise they will face eternal damnation.

……

Xia Zhiyuan was arranged to live in the eldest princess' courtyard. It must be said that this place was obviously well taken care of by someone, including the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

The lotus and water lilies planted in the courtyard pond are all emerald green, which is very pleasing to the eye.

A dragonfly was perched on the small lotus leaf, flapping its wings and flying.

If you listen carefully, you can hear one or two insects chirping.

It’s worthy of being a palace.

The summer cooling effect is maximized, making people feel refreshed all over, just like being in an air-conditioned room with a temperature of 26 degrees.

"Miss... do you think His Highness was taken away by the Emperor to be reprimanded?"

"I heard the palace people outside whispering."

"However, they all have their own opinions, and Chunni doesn't know who is right and who is wrong."

Rubbing his temples with his hands, Chunni felt that his head was too big. The people in the palace had such complicated thoughts.

"Please sit opposite me. Do you want some cakes?"

Xia Zhiyuan stuffed a piece of lotus root dessert in his mouth. The lotus root powder was delicate and sweet, and the icing sugar sprinkled on it was even more amazing. It seemed to be fused with some kind of flower petals, with a faint fragrance.

It's very delicious.

Chunni was frightened and waved her hands quickly.

"No, no, no, how can this be possible? Miss, how can Chunni eat with you?"

"This is a disgrace to our family! This is a disgrace to our family!"

After all, she is a daughter of the Xia family. How could she do such a rebellious thing?

"I know what you are going to say. Anyway, this is not the Xia Mansion. Besides, I will be bored here alone. Why don't you keep me company?"

After saying that, Xia Zhiyuan picked up another piece of cake, stood up and stuffed it into Chunni's mouth.

She knew that the little guy was most craving for this food, but he was very timid and would never eat a single bite without her permission.

Faced with her young lady's aggressive feeding, Chunni had no choice but to let her young lady do whatever she wanted, even though she had received professional training.

Of course, there are times when I can’t help it, like now, the delicious pastries are right in front of me, but I can’t eat them. This is simply a sin.

"What are you...doing?"

Zhao Changlin, who happened to walk in, saw this scene. He saw Xia Zhiyuan standing opposite Chunni, and the posture between them was somewhat ambiguous.

It’s over. Could it be that I have been misunderstood?

Xia Zhiyuan quickly moved away from Chunni like a frightened cat, laughed awkwardly, and picked up another piece of cake as if nothing had happened.

Xia Zhiyuan picked up the snow-white pastry with her slender jade hands, walked to Zhao Changlin in a flattering manner, leaned forward, and handed the fragrant pastry to Zhao Changlin's mouth.

The powdered pastry was stained with red lips and sprinkled with white icing.

"How about...Your Highness, would you like to have one too?"

Generally speaking, the best solution to this situation is, of course, to balance the situation.

So Xia Zhiyuan remained in the stalemate until his hands were almost sore, but Zhao Changlin remained unmoved and stood there like an iron pillar.

No way, this thing can't be made of iron? It's so hard.

Xia Zhiyuan felt as if his hands were cramping. He was about to sigh and give up his plan to continue feeding Her Royal Highness the Princess.

At this moment, the tip of the fingertip, together with the pastry, was gently held by the red lips, with a hint of warmth.

Xia Zhiyuan's face turned red immediately, not only because his finger was sucked by Zhao Changlin, but also because of another reason.

That is, Her Royal Highness the Princess licked her fingers with her tongue, causing Yu Xia Zhiyuan to feel tingling and numbness in her fingers, as if a small piece of the pastry had been bitten off.

Zhao Changlin continued eating, and the tip of his teeth slightly touched Xia Zhiyuan's fingers. At this time, Xia Zhiyuan, who was already in a trance, noticed that the postures and movements of the two had become so ambiguous.

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

Xia Zhiyuan quickly pulled his fingers away.

It's over. Now I really have no idea who is attacking whom. I was completely controlled by this flirter from the very beginning!

Is there anyone who can tell her how to win over such a charming beauty?

Who can save her?

Xia Zhiyuan held her head with both hands and cried loudly in her mind. It turned out that she was a woman who had been alone for more than 20 years. She only had lustful thoughts but not the courage!
