Chapter 139 His test: Did he misunderstand Lin Zhaoyue?
On the surface, she tried to please him and act pitiful, but in fact, she wished he would die even in her dreams.
Xiao Yun's dark eyes swept across the pale face on the bed. His eyes were deep and his thin lips curled up in a cold arc.
He remembered that when she was in the other courtyard, she also pretended to be so pitiful, and then turned around and decisively drugged him and Yiyi. This time...
What does she want to do?
Xiao Yun pinched her chin with his jade-white hand. He looked at Lin Zhaoyue's pretty face carefully and pinched her face to leave two purple marks as a punishment before stopping.
Her fever was not so severe during the day, but at night her skin was as hot as a furnace.
Xiao Yun asked someone to bring a burning knife. Yuanyuan saw that Lin Zhaoyue's face was flushed, and she knew that Miss Lin's fever was serious.
She poured the burning knife on the towel and was about to cool Lin Zhaoyue down when she heard Xiao Yan say:
"You step back."
Yuanyuan was slightly stunned, then bowed respectfully and said:
"Yes."
With the door closed, he looked at Lin Zhaoyue, who was frowning even though she was unconscious and seemed very uneasy. He touched her eyebrows with his jade-like fingertips and rubbed them gently to smooth out her frown.
He didn't withdraw his hand until her brows relaxed.
His gaze moved downwards, his dark pupils resting on the collar of her nightgown. After a while, his jade-white hands untied the pure white ribbon on her body.
I used a handkerchief dipped in burning oil to rub her whole body several times. It was not until the second half of the night that the temperature went down.
He touched her forehead to make sure it wasn't that hot. After covering her with a thin blanket, the usually self-sustaining and dignified prince hurried into the bathroom.
I really owe her.
He has never served anyone like this before...
……
Lin Zhaoyue woke up on the third day. Perhaps because her kneeling really won Xiao Yan's sympathy, he did not send her to the dungeon again.
It’s just that we guard against her like we were guarding against a thief, and we send people to watch her wherever she goes.
Lin Zhaoyue did not act rashly. She showed great sincerity and visited Liu Yiyi every morning, noon and night, feeding her medicine and washing her face.
Once when she was washing Liu Yiyi's face, she couldn't help but whispered in Liu Yiyi's ear:
"If you don't wake up, your brother will not want you anymore!"
When Xiao Yan heard the report from her subordinates, the corners of her mouth twitched. She was so idle.
Lin Zhaoyue didn't know how these words reached Xiao Yun's ears, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. From then on, Xiao Yun would not let her serve Liu Yiyi alone. If he was in the East Palace, she had to be wherever he was, except in the study.
I don’t know what medicine Xiao Yan took wrongly. Lin Zhaoyue found that Xiao Yan’s mood has been much stable in the past few days and he no longer has nightmares.
However, whenever he had time, he would take her to see Liu Yiyi, and then watch her serve Liu Yiyi personally.
Liu Yiyi was in a coma, and the most difficult thing was how to feed her. She always ate less than she ate, even when Xiao Yan fed her personally.
Lin Zhaoyue helped Liu Yiyi up, hung a lunch bag around her neck, and then took a bowl of sugar water and fed her one spoonful at a time. When some sugar water overflowed from the corners of her mouth, she immediately wiped it away with a handkerchief, looking gentle and patient.
After Lin Zhaoyue fed Liu Yiyi three bowls of sugar water, she began to feed her porridge and broth made with various tonics, also three bowls in total.
Although he was fed three bowls of food, he actually only took in half a bowl.
After feeding her, Lin Zhaoyue gave her a very "considerate" massage for almost an incense stick of time before putting her back on the bed and covering her with a quilt.
After doing all this, she looked at Xiao Yan who had been staring at her, and deliberately lowered her voice:
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong, and I sincerely want to atone for my sins to Miss Liu. I will never have the intention to harm Miss Liu again."
Xiao Yan looked at her for a while, and suddenly laughed softly. Before Lin Zhaoyue could figure out what he was laughing at, she saw him walking out:
"Come to my study and serve me with my writing brush and ink."
Go to the study?
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes lit up, and then she followed him...
East Palace Study.
Xiao Yun was sitting in front of the desk while Lin Zhaoyue was grinding ink with her sleeves beside him. Her hands were busy and her mouth was also busy. She was very caring towards Xiao Yun.
"Your Highness, are you thirsty? Would you like some tea?"
"Your Highness, would you like some cakes?"
"Your Highness, are you hot? Would you like me to fan you..."
Lin Zhaoyue at this moment was exactly the same as before. Everything revolved around him and was so noisy that it gave him a headache.
Xiao Yan pressed his temple, put down the document in his hand, and looked up at her:
"Do you need me to seal your mouth so that you can learn to be quiet?"
Lin Zhaoyue covered her mouth, made a stitching motion, and finally calmed down.
After grinding the ink in his hand, he handed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan glanced at it and said calmly:
"bring here."
He could reach it with just a stretch of his hand, but he insisted on asking her to deliver it to him. It was obviously intentional.
Lin Zhaoyue pretended not to know and walked towards him with the inkstone in her hand. Suddenly, she didn't know what she touched and fell straight onto Xiao Yan.
All the ink in the inkstone spilled on him.
Lin Zhaoyue: …
Lin Zhaoyue leaned on the table to steady herself, looked at the ink on his black clothes, and smiled:
"Your Highness, if I say that I didn't do it on purpose and was tripped by something, would you believe it?"
Xiao Yan looked at her expressionlessly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes:
"Then Miss Lin, do you think I should believe it?"
Looking at his expression, Lin Zhaoyue knew that he didn't believe it.
Xiao Yan glanced at the ink on her clothes and stood up, her tall figure looming over her:
"Repeat the same old tricks?"
She had done this kind of thing many times before, deliberately falling into his arms, or deliberately having physical contact with him under the pretext of pouring tea for him.
She was really... shameless at that time.
Lin Zhaoyue laughed dryly and raised her hand:
"I swear, if..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yan took over her words:
"If you did it on purpose, and the child you gave birth to has no butthole, you dead man?"
Lin Zhaoyue: …
That's exactly what she thought.
Xiao Yan didn't make things difficult for her. He glanced at her and went out, leaving Lin Zhaoyue alone in the study.
After leaving the study, Xiao Yan waved and called his secret guards:
"Watch her every move."
"Yes, master."
……
In the study.
When Lin Zhaoyue saw Xiao Yun leaving, her eyes suddenly lit up. A great opportunity was before her.
She stood up and walked to Xiao Yan's desk. Just as she was about to look for something, she noticed a flash of reflection on Cheng Liang's tea set.
Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. If she was not mistaken, it was a figure.
Sent by Xiao Yan to monitor her?
Is he testing her?
So just now, she wasn't tripped by something for no reason, but Xiao Yan did it on purpose?
He doubted her.
With a sneer on his lips, he changed the direction of his hand on the documents and neatly arranged the relatively tidy stack of documents.
He stood up again and fetched a basin of water to clean the ink that had just spilled on the table.
Perhaps to give her enough space to commit the crime, Xiao Yan changed her clothes and went away for a long time. Lin Zhaoyue calmly went to the bookshelf to find a storybook to read, but she fell asleep after flipping through a few pages.
She lay on the table and fell asleep...
Xiao Yan changed into casual clothes and came out. When he heard the report from the secret guard, his dark eyes flashed slightly.
Did he misunderstand her?
When he walked into the study, he saw the girl lying on his desk, her face pressed sideways, squeezing out her cute baby fat.
Her eyes were lightly closed, her crow-feather-like eyelashes cast a faint shadow, her breathing was shallow, and her plump red lips were a little dry at the moment.
I really fell asleep.
And judging from the crystal liquid oozing from the corners of her mouth, she was still sleeping soundly.
With her brain, he overestimated her.
Xiao Yan looked at her for a long while before walking towards her.
He wiped the saliva from her mouth with a handkerchief in disgust, then picked her up.
Her body felt weightless and Lin Zhaoyue stepped on empty air while sleeping. She woke up instantly and looked at Xiao Yan who was holding her, unable to react.
Seeing her confused look, Xiao Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
"Drowsily asleep?"
Lin Zhaoyue looked at him, then looked around, and after a while she said:
"Where are you going?"
His voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up, like a lazy cat.
"Do you want to go back to the chamber to sleep or on the couch?"
There is a beauty couch in Xiao Yun's study, which she had someone move in when she came to the East Palace.
Lin Zhaoyue yawned:
"Have enough sleep."
After saying this, he seemed to say unintentionally:
"Why does it take so long for the prince to change his clothes?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at her with an uncertain expression:
"Feng Xin just came to find me."
Lin Zhaoyue said "oh" and looked like she believed it completely.
"Your Highness, please let me down!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei let the man go.
Someone also sent some fruits and cakes for her to eat.
So, Lin Zhaoyue spent the whole day leaning on the beauty couch, eating cakes and reading her storybook.
In the evening, Feng Xin came to report something to Xiao Yan. Lin Zhaoyue only heard three words clearly... Lianji Pavilion.
Lin Zhaoyue had vaguely heard of Lianji Pavilion in her previous life. It seemed to be an intelligence agency established by Xiao Yun, specifically to collect various information for him.
Xiao Ying never bothered to tell her about these things, and she was obsessed with love in her previous life and knew nothing about the situation outside the palace walls. She only thought about how to make Xiao Ying happy all day long.
Whenever Xiao Yun treats Liu Yiyi well, she will be depressed for the whole day, wondering whether Xiao Yun loves her or not.
Looking back now, Lin Zhaoyue feels that she was extremely stupid.
Xiao Yan would hide anything he really cared about, such as Liu Yiyi, whom he had hidden for many years in his previous life.
Moreover, since Xiao Yan had suspected her just now and left her alone in the study, it was obvious that the defense map must not be in the study.
Perhaps, he put the defense map in the online cabinet.
Seeing Xiao Yan getting up to leave, Lin Zhaoyue put down the book in her hand and looked at him with her bright and pure almond eyes:
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
Xiao Yan would never reveal his whereabouts to anyone.
In the past, when Lin Zhaoyue asked him where he was going, Xiao Yan would never answer. This time, he rarely replied:
"Go out alone."
"Your Highness is going out?"
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes lit up, she put down the book in her hand, stood up, looked at him and said:
"Can I go out with Your Highness?"
Before he could speak, she said pitifully:
"I will be obedient and not run around. I haven't been out for a long time..."
Xiao Yan looked at her pitiful eyes and felt weak in his heart.
She was at the age when she loved to play, and she had not gone out since she was caught by him last time, and her energy had dissipated a lot.
His eyes moved slightly, and he opened his thin lips, speaking in a cold and threatening tone:
"You can go out, but you are not allowed to run around without my permission, otherwise I will break your legs."
Lin Zhaoyue didn't expect Xiao Yan to be so easy to talk to all of a sudden, so she nodded.
"If Your Highness is worried, you can tie me up with a rope."
Lin Zhaoyue was just talking, but when she saw Xiao Yan looking at her wrist with a serious expression, her heart skipped a beat.
No... Xiao Yan...
You don't really want to tie her up!
Just as Lin Zhaoyue was thinking this, she heard Xiao Yun's deep voice beside her ears:
"Bring me a thin, soft rope."
Lin Zhaoyue: …
The maid quickly found a silk rope and Xiao Yan took it and handed it to her, saying in a calm voice:
"Tie it yourself."
Lin Zhaoyue: …
He is really seriously ill.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at the rope in his hand and hesitated:
"Your Highness, this may not be very elegant. I don't mind it, but I am afraid that others will talk about Your Highness."
"Since it doesn't matter, then tie him up, or you can stay in the East Palace..."
Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, Lin Zhaoyue said:
"Bind me, I will do it now."
It doesn't matter if I can follow him to the online pavilion and have my hands tied.
One end of the rope was in Xiao Yan's hand. After Lin Zhaoyue tied it, she looked at him holding it and felt like a prisoner...
She was patient, but a lack of patience would ruin a big plan. She had experienced life and death several times, so this little thing was nothing.
Shortly after Xiao Yan left, a box was delivered to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li opened the box and saw his favorite hibiscus cake on it.
It's made by the chef, and the taste is unique.
A hint of youthfulness and sweetness that was not in line with his age suddenly appeared on Mr. Li's face.
He ate two pieces, and when he ate the third piece, he found a note with five words written on it:
"Take good care of Miss Liu."
Looking at the note, there was guilt in his eyes. Miss Liu was seriously injured right under his nose. He had failed his master's trust.
When there was only one piece left, he broke it open with his hands, and found a black pill inside, which was the medicine developed by his master for Miss Liu.
He took the pill and went into Liu Yiyi's yard. During the routine checkup, he fed the pill to Liu Yiyi...
……
Lin Zhaoyue didn't make it to Lianji Pavilion in the end.
Xiao Yan was still wary of her. He took her to a teahouse and asked for a private room. He then tied her to a pillar and left four guards to watch over her. Before leaving, he said to her:
"Wait for me here. I'll take you for a walk when I come back."
Lin Zhaoyue nodded obediently, looking like she didn't mind at all that he tied her up here.
The rope was long enough for her to walk to the window.
She saw Xiao Yan take people out, get on the carriage, and then disappear at the end of the busy city without a trace.
She had no idea where the online pavilion was.
Lin Zhaoyue waited for Xiao Ying for a long time, but in the end, Xiao Ying did not take her shopping.
Because he heard that Liu Yiyi had woken up, he left her behind and returned to the East Palace early.
Arriving at Liu Yiyi's yard, Lin Zhaoyue could hear Liu Yiyi sobbing from a distance:
"Brother Ying, Yiyi thought she would never see Brother Ying again."
