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

They left the Pear Garden together.

Nuo Hanyan turned and walked towards General Sima's mansion.

"Since we are here, why don't we go back to the palace and have a cup of hot tea?"

Xia Zhiyuan, who had just had a cup of tea, made a friendly invitation to Nuo Hanyan, but this sentence sounded in Nuo Hanyan's ears.

It's not so wonderful.

bother you for something.

The same is true in reverse. If Xia Zhiyuan invites me, this is not the Sanbao Hall, but the Hongmen Banquet.

In the past, the two had equal status, and Nuo Hanyan could still show off his power, but now the gap in status between the two has widened, and neither of them is the same as they used to be.

Nuo Hanyan naturally restrained himself a lot.

Her attitude made Xia Zhiyuan feel that this girl was teachable.

If he were to be brought in to become His Highness's right-hand man, it would surely be an extra layer of insurance, at least allowing His Highness to be less in danger in the Imperial City.

However, Xia Zhiyuan has already made the invitation, and refusing in front of His Majesty would be asking for trouble.

So, Nuo Hanyan had no choice but to agree to Xia Zhiyuan's request. She pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly.

Anyone can see it.

Written on Nuo Hanyan's face were four big words: "Are you serious?"

"Since you want to drink together, I won't refuse."

"I just don't know if Zhiyuan can welcome me?"

Zhao Changlin leaned his head closer, obviously not intending to leave Nuo Hanyan and Xia Zhiyuan alone.

The warm air fell on his neck. Xia Zhiyuan was very patient and smiled at His Highness.

"If Your Highness wants to come, no one in this world dares to stop you."

Zhao Changlin opened the curtain of the carriage and sat on it first, as if to grab a seat.

"Is that so? But if Zhiyuan is unwilling to let His Majesty listen to him, then I will not come."

With his slender fingertips resting on his chin, Zhao Changlin's eyes, which had just been extremely aggressive, suddenly became gentle.

Even Nuo Hanyan felt a vague pressure.

Fortunately, Xia Zhiyuan was carrying it in front of her.

"Your Highness, are you going to be so upset in front of others?"

"That's really not generous."

As he stepped on it, he saw Xia Zhiyuan's new cloak, which was embroidered with broken crabapple branches.

The mixture of pink and green is very beautiful.

Xia Zhiyuan originally thought that this dress was a bit too fancy, but it was given to her by His Highness with great eagerness, and she couldn't refuse His Highness' kindness.

I just put it on.

However, it does look good when worn.

"Yes, no matter who it is, I always feel uneasy around you."

Especially Nuo Hanyan, who had had an intersection with Marquis Zhongyong. Even if General Sima was here today, Zhao Changlin would still be on guard.

"Well, Your Highness, don't keep Miss Nuo waiting for too long."

Xia Zhiyuan could understand His Highness's sudden jealousy, but even if he was extremely jealous, he could only endure it for the time being.

After all, the most important thing at the moment is to win people's hearts.

"Or, sir, let's make an appointment another day."

"I suddenly remembered that my father had something else to ask me to do."

Nuo Hanyan greased his feet and was about to run away.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and a man stood tall with a spear in his hand.

"The court is doing business, please leave immediately, young lady."

"Don't delay, this is a matter of great importance to the court."

The voice sounded slightly familiar.

Xia Zhiyuan curiously lifted the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw a woman riding a horse with a spear in her hand.

She was staring at Nuo Hanyan who was standing outside the carriage, her hair flying and she was wearing iron armor.

Righteous and awe-inspiring.

If Xia Zhiyuan had not seen this woman as a bandit before, even he would have been fooled.

This woman is...the leader of Longya Village.

"It's you."

Nuo Hanyan smiled, somewhat happy.

Ever since Longya Village was recruited, the imperial court, in order to appease the people, also wanted to publicize the matter so that more bandits who had gone to the mountains to become bandits would voluntarily surrender to the imperial court.

Many repertoires were supported in every state, prefecture, and town. This play script was specially written by the imperial court and distributed free of charge to various places for them to perform.

Therefore, the deeds of Longya Village became widely circulated.

The woman riding on the horse pulled the reins and was stunned when she heard Nuo Hanyan's words. She lowered her eyes and thought carefully.

Where have I seen this young lady from an official family before?

But after thinking about it, she had no memory of this.

"Miss, Gong doesn't know you."

"Excuse me, Miss, please make way for me first."

"I do have something important to discuss. I need to see His Majesty."

At this moment, Zhao Changlin, who was sitting in the carriage, did not take the initiative to explain her identity. Instead, she wanted to see why Nuo Hanyan was interested in the leader of Longya Village, Gong Siyu.

When Zhao Changlin first learned of the name, he was a little stunned, but Xia Zhiyuan didn't think it was a big deal.

The name Siyu sounds like a maiden name for a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. There is really no necessary connection between it and her, who rides on horseback and commands an entire village of bandits.

"I think this name is suitable for His Highness."

"However, compared to a sad and sentimental name like Siyu, Zhiyuan still prefers a simple appeal like Changlin."

……

Hearing the words "The Current Emperor".

Nuo Hanyan glanced inside, not knowing how to start.

"Well."

She originally wanted to chat a little more.

However, seeing that the man in front of him had important matters to attend to in the palace to see the emperor, it was not easy for him to stop him.

So I just planned to move aside.

Then I heard a soft voice.

"Master Gong, it is far away in the sky, but it is also close at hand."

"Your Majesty is here."

Gong Siyu looked back and happened to meet Xia Zhiyuan's eyes. Her thoughts were instantly drawn back to that day of strong wind and heavy snow.

The snowflakes turned their heads white.

The gray wolf's chain was warm in his own grip.

Just like today, the horse's reins are tightly tied in the palm of my hand.

She is still as beautiful as ever, with a pair of clear and bright eyes.

But Gong Siyu knew very well that Xia Zhiyuan's mind and scheming were probably much deeper than most powerful officials in the world.

His Majesty's great grace and favor have made the Xia family mansion a high branch that countless people want to climb.

"Master Gong...Master Gong?"

Seeing that she was in a daze, Xia Zhiyuan greeted her twice, but unexpectedly, his waist was embraced by the prince behind him.

His Highness rested his chin on Xia Zhiyuan's neck, and the two of them were inseparable.

Zhao Changlin raised her eyes, and her dark brows met Gong Siyu's.

It really is His Majesty the Emperor.

Gong Siyu got off the horse and could not care about so many things at the moment. She was indeed confused for a moment. She should have known it when she saw Zhiyuan's face just now.

Your Majesty should also be here.

"This is a humble post, Your Majesty."

Zhao Changlin originally didn't want to disturb Gong Siyu, but since they had already met, he decided to deal with the news she brought back first.

"Get up."
