Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

After returning from the flower-viewing banquet, Liu Yao was surprised to find that he had not seen Yuan Jing for a long time.

Can't say I haven't seen it.

Recently, she has gradually become familiar with the official duties assigned to her and her efficiency has also improved a lot.

It is not as busy as before, and I return to the princess's mansion much earlier.

The longer you stay in the princess's mansion, the chances of running into Yuan Jing naturally increase.

But to her surprise, every time she met Yuan Jing, they kept some distance between them.

Liu Yao wanted to go forward and say hello, but in the blink of an eye, he turned and walked in the other direction.

Sometimes, neither party noticed and they walked very close to each other, bumping into each other face to face.

Liu Gao raised his eyes, smiled, and just as he said the word "gong", Yuan Jing's gaze drifted away and his pace quickened.

Before he could utter the word "Master", only a silhouette of the person was left, getting smaller and smaller in his eyes.

Liu Yao could guarantee that he must have seen him and noticed his move to say hello.

So why, is he behaving so strangely?

It's like he's...deliberately distancing himself from her?

How is that possible? I haven't offended the princess. I must be overthinking it.

Liu Yao shook his head, put aside the unreliable thoughts in his mind, lowered his head to look at the file in his hand, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

She feels an indescribable sense of accomplishment in being able to share the country's concerns and solve the people's problems with what she has learned over the years.

In fact, she has even bigger and more ideals.

The current situation does not allow for that, so Liu Yao can only let it go for the time being.

It's another busy day.

As the sun was about to set, most of the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy had left.

Someone packed up their things, looked at Liu Hao who was working hard, walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder.

"It's getting late, so go home first. You'll be busy later, so don't tire yourself out now.

The man was in his thirties, had a mustache, and was of a gentle and elegant appearance. When he looked at Liu Yao, there was a sympathetic expression on his face.

Only then did Liu Yao regain his concentration.

She raised her head and smiled sheepishly, "Brother Li, thank you for reminding me. I'm going back now."

After the man's figure went away, Liu Yao stretched his muscles, tidied up the things on the table, and then got up and left.

The driver was waiting outside early.

Yuan Jing is now the emperor's most beloved son, and it goes without saying that the location of the princess's mansion bestowed upon her is the closest to the imperial palace.

Liu Gao got on the carriage and had a smooth ride, and soon returned to the princess's mansion.

She got off the carriage and prepared to go back to her cousin's yard as usual to have dinner with her and talk.

Just as he took a step, he remembered what his colleague named Li had reminded him of, and changed the direction of his toes.

That is the direction to Yuan Jing's yard.

When he arrived at the door, Liu Yao first saw Xianyun, who looked anxious.

She was still a little confused, but who would have thought that when Xianyun saw her coming, she reacted even more and raised her voice towards the closed door.

"My dear, why are you here?"

Liu Hao was startled by the sudden loud noise. She rubbed her ears and asked hesitantly:

"I...can't come?"

Xianyun quickly shook her head.

"Oh, that's good. I have something very important to discuss with the princess."

Liu Yao felt relieved and continued walking inside.

Then, she saw that Xianyun's expression was becoming more and more nervous. She wanted to reach out her hand to stop him, but quickly withdrew her hand for unknown reasons.

Liu Yao stopped and looked at him with a somewhat amusing and helpless expression.

"If the princess has something to do, I will go back first. Miss Xianyun, please inform the princess. I will come back later."

After all, they are not a real couple, so they still need to have a sense of propriety.

The moment he turned around, the door was opened from the inside.

"The prince consort is here. What a rare visitor. If you have anything important to tell me, please come in and tell me."

The person who opened the door was Yuan Jing.

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the room.

Liu Yao thought about his words and somehow thought of an interesting picture:

A family kept two cats at home. One was well-behaved and cute, and the other was noble and aloof. Both looked good.

If we really compare them, the noble raccoon is more dazzling.

But because of their different personalities, the well-behaved one will stick close to its owner, while the noble one is not friendly at all and will even jump away when the owner wants to get close to it.

Originally the owner liked both cats equally, but because of the personalities of the two cats, she began to get closer and closer to the well-behaved one.

Every time the owner comes home, he will hold the well-behaved one in his arms.

As for the aloof one, I fed it from a distance and then ignored it.

In the end, the task of feeding was handed over to others.

The neglected noble raccoon actually likes his master in his heart, but because of his personality he doesn't like to be close to him. But after being ignored by his master, he feels very uncomfortable.

It waited for a long time, and finally its owner remembered its existence.

Originally, it wanted to take the initiative to get close, but when it saw its owner, it remembered that she had ignored it for another cat slave, so it got angry and meowed a few sour words.

Etc., etc.

Liu Hao suddenly stopped imagining.

The princess is of low status, how could she be a raccoon slave? And how could she be so angry and say such sarcastic words just because I didn't come?

I guess I misheard the tone of his voice.

Liu Yao laughed and followed him inside, telling him about that matter as he walked.

Before she opened her mouth, she noticed something else.

Liu Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze rested on his back.

Yuan Jing was wearing a red silk dress today. It was loose and had no embroidery patterns. It was simple and comfortable enough for her to wear in the inner room on a daily basis.

But even so, the brown marks from his waist down were much darker than the surrounding areas and were very obvious.

Liu Hao suddenly noticed something he hadn't noticed before.

Although Yuan Jing tried hard to maintain his normal appearance, his steps as he walked into the house were clearly a little unsteady, as if he was weak and his legs were a little soft.

She recalled further and still remembered the look of his face that flashed across her face when he opened the door. It was pale and weak, and very abnormal.

Liu Hao frowned and called out to Yuan Jing who was walking forward.

"and many more."

Yuan Jing turned his head, his face blank.

Liu Hao's lips moved for a long time, as if he had figured something out. He did not ask, but said:

"Princess, I have something else to do. Come back later."

After saying that, he immediately turned and left.

She left decisively, and Yuan Jing, who was left there, was very puzzled.

He found a chair and sat down, thinking about Liu Yao's leaving back in his mind.

The room returned to its former silence, and time suddenly became incredibly slow.

In an instant, Yuan Jing remembered where Liu Hao's eyes turned before he left, and he lowered his head and looked slightly below the waist and abdomen.

When the slender fingers pulled the brown corner of the clothes, the remaining blood color on the pale face also faded away.
