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

Nuo Hanyan frowned.

Obviously, she did not believe what Xia Zhiyuan said. How could this woman be full of lies? Brother Boshan wanted to marry her as the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

How could she not know about this?

Are you using the excuse of "I don't know" to fool yourself? Do you really think you are a child reading the Three Character Classic in school?

This is something that many daughters of upright officials can only dream of. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again. Although Brother Boshan is just an unpopular marquis in Jinzhou City.

Far away in the border area all year round.

But for the noble families without hereditary official titles, it is simply a hot commodity.

"You really don't know about this?"

"Don't tell me you're lying..."

The pearl hairpin on Nuo Hanyan's head swayed. If Her Royal Highness the Princess had not been beside her, she would have grabbed Xia Zhiyuan with one hand.

She hated it most when someone acted pretentiously in front of her, pretending to know nothing and asking questions even though they knew the answer.

What daddy said was indeed right. People like this should be poked in the butt with a spear and they will behave themselves.

"Ji-won didn't cheat."

"However, Zhiyuan, can you ask Miss Nuo something?"

Is the second female lead finished asking questions? She has finished asking questions. Now it’s her turn. This is a turn-based game.

Xia Zhiyuan had obviously planned this in advance, and there was a hint of a triumphant smile in her watery eyes.

"Where did Miss Nuo learn about this?"

"Zhiyuan is very curious. Even Daddy has never mentioned marriage to Zhiyuan."

This rhetorical question stumped Nuo Hanyan. She naturally knew all the movements of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, because she had spies planted in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

The old marquis died early due to illness, and only the old marquis' widow was left in the huge marquisate, struggling to support the entire Loyal and Brave Marquisate in Jinzhou City.

"This...this...has spread everywhere..."

Nuo Hanyan was annoyed in her heart. If she had known earlier, she should not have rushed up to ask at this time. Xia Zhiyuan would have denied it even if he was beaten to death.

"Then what does it have to do with Zhiyuan?"

"Miss Nuo, your words are ambiguous... Could it be that you like the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

Xia Zhiyuan had a small dimple on his lips, and at this moment he showed a triumphant smile. Well, since the second female lead had come to him, he definitely couldn't let go of the opportunity to expose her shortcomings.

"No...no!"

"I just grew up with Brother Boshan and I'm just concerned about his marriage."

"It's not that I'm attracted to Brother Yu Boshan."

This is almost the same as revealing one's own identity. Xia Zhiyuan smiled bitterly in his heart. If he were to play Werewolf, Nuo Hanyan would probably be the first player to reveal his identity as a werewolf.

She really didn't know what to say.

Zhao Changlin stood aside, listening to the two people coming and going from "Loyalty and Bravery Marquis" to "Loyalty and Brave Marquis". For some reason, he felt a little unhappy.

Is she air?

Why did he keep talking about the defeated opponent he had just met?

"Dear host, this system kindly reminds you that your capture target has mood swings, and it's also about the host himself~"

"Host, please fulfill your duties as soon as possible and appease your capture target!"

The system came online again in his mind, as if he had just pretended to be dead and just went to the tea room to drink a cup of tea.

After being reminded by the system, Xia Zhiyuan finally came to his senses and realized that he had been too serious with the second female lead about the male lead.

Instead, he ignored His Highness' feelings.

So, he stretched out his hand from under the black bearskin cloak, hooked his fingertips around the belt behind Zhao Changlin, and moved it with a slight force.

Zhao Changlin immediately understood and thought that Xia Zhiyuan didn't want to be entangled with General Sima's daughter anymore, but it was difficult to refuse, so he stepped forward to reject Nuo Hanyan's questioning.

"Since Zhiyuan has already answered Miss Nuo's question, I guess Miss Nuo has no more questions to ask, right?"

This is already a blatant act of driving customers away.

Even the most tactless person would know that he should retreat at this moment. Even though Nuo Hanyan was unwilling, he did not dare to directly contradict Her Royal Highness the Princess.

She was not unaware of what happened in the hunting ground today. She was afraid that the current emperor was determined to let Your Highness inherit the throne and make Your Highness the crown prince.

"To reply to your Highness, I have nothing else to ask."

"But I heard that Brother Boshan will ask the emperor for permission to marry today. If it's not Miss Zhiyuan, then it must be someone else."

What? There is such a thing.

"Hello, system, can I report the male protagonist? He is not acting according to the script."

"You should be hunting in the hunting grounds, who on earth is crazy enough to propose marriage?"

Now, I really have to rack my brains to think about how to reject the male protagonist’s bold and fierce pursuit.

"Little Six, go to your father's tent and ask if it is true."

Zhao Changlin gave instructions to the eunuch standing beside him, and Xiao Liuzi nodded and bowed again.

"Understood, Your Highness. I will go right away."

……

Holding Ruoxue, Zhao Changlin tied her up in the stable himself, but the worry between her brows betrayed what she was thinking.

Although Zhao Changlin usually acted rashly, he knew that it was not appropriate for him to come into conflict with the hereditary nobles in the court now.

Even if Marquis Zhongyong really asked his father for a marriage, it should be his father who decided on Marquis Zhongyong's marriage. If he acted rashly, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the hereditary nobles in the court.

It can even be said that it is the catalyst that accelerates their alliance, so that I cannot defeat them one by one.

But if Lu Boshan really proposes to marry Xia Zhiyuan, then I have to agree and wait for my father's approval?

This was the first time that Xia Zhiyuan saw His Highness in this state, and for a moment, he was a little dazed.

Just when he was about to take a step forward to look for His Highness, the shadow guard beside him stretched out his hand, and the black iron armor made a crisp sound of friction.

"Miss Zhiyuan, please let His Highness think about it on his own. No one should disturb His Highness at this time."

This is his experience as a veteran.

Ever since coming to His Highness' side, Xia Zhiyuan had never seen the black-clad shadow guard beside him speak. When he first heard his voice, he was almost startled.

"Your Highness rarely looks so worried. Perhaps he is worried about something."

After saying this, he clasped his hands together, hunched his back, and performed the most precious salute of a shadow guard.

Xia Zhiyuan fell into deep thought about the things that could make His Highness worried. He touched his temple with his index finger and thought seriously, could it be that what Nuo Hanyan said just now affected His Highness's thoughts.

It makes sense to think this way.

When the two of them were riding horses just now, His Highness did not seem to have any abnormalities.

Is it really because of me?

If so, doesn't that prove that my strategy is already halfway successful! ?
