Xiao Liuzi stood outside the tent and did not go in. The eunuchs under his command hurried out and saw the Sixth Eunuch standing outside the tent.

He bowed and saluted.

"Sixth Eunuch, His Majesty has suppressed this matter for the time being. He has not agreed to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, nor has he agreed to General Sima."

The young eunuch put his hand next to the Sixth Eunuch's ear, and the two whispered and talked for a few words. The Sixth Eunuch's expression did not change much. He nodded to indicate that he understood.

"You continue to stay by His Majesty's side. If there is anything, please ask someone to inform me. Don't delay."

"Understood. Since it is the Sixth Eunuch's order, I will do my best and go through fire and water."

The Sixth Eunuch smiled tenderly, not taking the words to heart. He waved his sleeves and put them in his arms.

"Don't be so glib. I'll report this to His Highness right away."

"Just keep a close eye on it, that's your way of repaying me."

He took two steps at a time and headed towards the eldest princess's tent. Since the Sixth Eunuch was the godson of General Lu, all the servants in the palace, no matter how big or small their positions were, had to give him some face, so no one stopped him.

The shadow guard standing by Her Royal Highness the Princess naturally knew the Sixth Eunuch's background. Although this man had never seen Her Royal Highness before, he had been very attentive to Her Royal Highness in the past two days. Thanks to the good job given to him by General Manager Lu, he could always be by Her Royal Highness' side.

I wish I could find ways to please His Highness.

People in the palace began to take sides. Oh my god, things were about to change.

"Your Highness, I have completed all the tasks you asked me to do."

The Sixth Eunuch stood outside the tent and bowed respectfully, even though Her Royal Highness the Princess had not called him in at this moment.

……

Holding a white porcelain spoon in his hand, Xia Zhiyuan was like wearing a mask of pain, his brows were deeply furrowed, and a strong smell of medicine rushed into his nostrils.

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess sitting opposite did not intend to let it go, but stared straight at Xia Zhiyuan.

"I went out for some fresh air. It's time to take my medicine."

There were also some candied fruits on the table, emitting an enticing aroma. It was a complete waste of resources to put these things together with the traditional Chinese medicine.

"Your Highness, this is really too hard."

"Can I... have a candied fruit first?"

It is worthy of being carefully selected by the royal family. Just now, Xia Zhiyuan secretly ate one while His Highness was not paying attention. It was so delicious that it left a lingering aftertaste.

The taste is even better than the big brands that I sent people to Jinzhou City to buy early in the morning. What's more, the Wujue shop has limited quantities, which is simply outrageous.

Wouldn't this leave a glutton like her with no way out?

Zhao Changlin looked at Xia Zhiyuan's pitiful eyes, his slender fingertips fell on the preserved fruit plate, and he picked up a piece of preserved fruit. There was still a little white icing on it, and the aroma of honey came from it.

He raised his hand and put it to Xia Zhiyuan's red lips. Xia Zhiyuan couldn't wait to take a bite. He moved quickly and held it in his mouth.

The slight sweetness began to dispel the bitterness, and Xia Zhiyuan felt a lot more comfortable.

"Don't deny your debt now. Drink first and then eat."

"Besides, we just had a meal. Although candied fruit is good, don't eat too much of it. It will cause indigestion."

"I'm afraid that by then, my stomach will feel even worse."

Zhao Changlin gave careful instructions. Xia Zhiyuan had just managed to eat a piece of candied fruit, and now he could only lower his head, holding the white porcelain spoon with his fingers, and putting it into his mouth bit by bit.

Although she knew that what His Highness said made sense, she just couldn't help it and wanted to eat two more.

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the tent. Zhao Changlin didn't expect Xiao Liuzi to come back so soon. It seemed that the outcome of the matter had come to light.

Even so, whether my father agrees or not, I will try my best to win.

"Enter."

At a command, the shadow guards standing on both sides moved forward, opened the curtain of the tent, and the Sixth Eunuch came in.

"What did your father say?"

Zhao Changlin did not look back at the eunuch in the palace. Apart from his father's personal guards, the next people who could serve his father all year round were the eunuchs.

However, Zhao Changlin always turned a blind eye to the eunuch party's flattery, because the eunuch party liked to waver, looking at the Crown Prince far away in the border, and staring at himself at the same time.

I don't want to offend anyone, but I want to please everyone.

Although she hated this, fence-sitters were the direction of many people, and being able to take advantage of this trend was what a king did.

"Your Highness...Shouldn't I avoid such an important matter?"

At this moment, Xia Zhiyuan finally understood why so many orchids raised by the original owner died, because now she was also secretly eyeing the orchids placed in the corner behind the screen.

However, Xia Zhiyuan had the intention but not the courage to do it, so he could only think about giving Lanhua some medicine out of kindness.

"It's okay. It's about you. It's just right for you to stay here and listen."

"Go ahead."

Zhao Changlin was nonchalant and didn't seem to take the matter seriously, but the Sixth Eunuch didn't dare to take it lightly. In the eyes of outsiders, His Highness was very happy.

But he kept in mind his godfather's teachings that His Highness must remain highly vigilant no matter how important or urgent the matter is, and be careful with every word he says.

"Yes."

"Loyal Marquis begged His Majesty to grant him a marriage, and General Sima also came forward to beg His Majesty for a marriage."

"Your Majesty originally proposed a double happiness."

Hearing this, Xia Zhiyuan nodded in agreement. This was the best solution as it not only solved his own troubles, but also solved the troubles of the second female lead, and incidentally, relieved the troubles of the male lead as well.

Isn't it killing three birds with one stone?

Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise.

She! Xia Zhiyuan agreed with both hands and feet!

It would be so nice if I could just stay with Her Royal Highness the Princess and accomplish my own strategy beautifully. It would be so wonderful.

"But...Lord Chungyong said he already has a lover and rejected your Majesty's proposal."

Xia Zhiyuan slowly put down the spoon in his hand. Before he could even swallow a mouthful, he heard the eunuch Xiao Liuzi continue to say, "The person that the loyal and brave marquis wants to marry is the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Miss Zhiyuan."

“Cough…cough cough cough…!”

Xia Zhiyuan only felt that his throat was strangled by the bitter Chinese medicine juice, and the spoon in his hand fell into the porcelain bowl.

The wrist trembled slightly.

She knew that the male protagonist, this bitch, would definitely have bad intentions!!!

“Ji Won…what’s wrong?”

Zhao Changlin saw a few drops of brown medicine splashed on the table and felt anxious. She slowly patted Xia Zhiyuan's back to help him breathe smoothly.

With his other hand, he took out his handkerchief, and with his fingertips on the finely crafted handkerchief, he wiped the brown medicine juice off Xia Zhiyuan's body bit by bit, from his cheek to his collarbone on his chest.

Xia Zhiyuan was stunned like a fool, not daring to move, allowing the folded handkerchief of His Highness to wipe his skin.

"I'll do it myself, Your Highness."

Xia Zhiyuan felt comfortable enjoying being served by Her Royal Highness the Princess, but Chunni's frightened eyes and Sixth Eunuch's inquiring gaze in the tent made it a little too much for Xia Zhiyuan to bear.

Please, looking at her this way, even she herself would suspect that she is a femme fatale.
