I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

"It's hard for you. Why do I feel that it's quite dangerous for you to go out this time? Although Guard Cao is very skilled in martial arts, he is injured and may not be able to help. I am worried..." Lin Yan could only change the subject. After she finished speaking, she looked up at Zhao Yuan with expectant eyes. She left Guard Cao behind. She didn't care about Guard Li or Guard Ma.

Without a princess, not even a concubine, there is no tiger in the mountain, so the monkey becomes king. She can take this opportunity to slowly cultivate feelings with Guard Cao, so that the new princess can have an emotional foundation and live together happily.

Although there has been some progress in the relationship between him and Guard Cao, he can tell from the way Guard Cao looks at him that the two of them are not even ordinary friends and are still in a superior-subordinate relationship.

Zhao Yuan looked at the concerned light in her eyes. He did not expect Ah Yan to care about him so much. He lowered his head and gently kissed her white forehead. He said softly, "I know that, but Guard Cao has made other arrangements. You don't have to worry about my safety.

I have strengthened the security in the mansion again.

I will give orders to Zhai Zizhuang in advance. If you need anything, just ask him. If he dares to neglect you, I will punish him when I come back."

Lin Yan's enthusiasm was instantly dampened by these cold words.

Why couldn't God let her have her wish come true? Did she have to give up Guard Cao and choose another one?

"Call someone to change your clothes. I'll take you out for a walk. If you want to buy something later, I'll pay for it." Zhao Yuan said in a good mood, self-indulgently thinking that Lin Yan's heart was already with him.

Anyway, this operation is relatively secretive and will start at night. Now that I have nothing to do, I can just go out for a walk with my concubine and let those who participated in the bet see how I lost everything without even a pair of underwear left.

Humph, as long as she is someone I want to protect, even the God of Hell cannot take her life easily.

Lin Yan didn't really want to go, but considering the dire consequences of disobeying him, she nodded obediently.

Since you want to pay, I won't hesitate.

Zhao Yuan pinched Lin Yan's cheek lovingly, let her go, stood up and lay on the couch behind the screen to wait.

"Green tea! Branches and leaves!"

"Hey!" Green Tea, Zhiye had just come back from being beaten with a slap. Hearing this, he sighed and immediately walked in.

As Lin Yan walked into the inner room, she ordered, "Bring out the pink camellia flower for me."

Ten blows on the palm of the hand were given without mercy. In a short time, Green Tea's hands were already red and swollen, and some parts of them were bleeding.

Such a pair of hands were a little trembling when helping Lin Yan change clothes.

Lin Yan glanced at him and tried hard not to scream. Green Tea's hand was swollen beyond recognition. Ten strokes of the board had been so severe, and the branches and leaves were probably not much better. She could no longer hold back her tears, which dripped down.

I don’t know whether I’m sad for the Green Tea girls or I’m confused and afraid for my own unpredictable future.

In modern society, there is only a difference in division of labor. Anyone who dares to resort to such lynching will never be spared by the law.

But this was in the ancient feudal society, where royal power was supreme and no one in the powerful families took the lives of their servants seriously at all. If they wanted to beat or kill someone, it only took a word. And this punishment was actually the lightest.

Could he really escape from Zhao Yuan's grasp? Unless he voluntarily let him go, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him.

These little maids might even be implicated by Zhao Yuan and all of them would be killed with a single blow of his sword.

When she thought of this possibility, Lin Yan couldn't stop trembling;

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

I hope the new princess is really as the rumors say, beautiful and intelligent, and loves King Rui very much, and would do anything for him.

Otherwise, if she just walked away like this, she would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life?

She had to readjust her plans. In fact, Zhao Yuan was very easy to talk to when he was in a good mood. For the time being, it seemed that he had no interest in her body, and he was not short of women.

She should find a way to please him, get a promise, and keep the servants who serve her, so that these servants will not have served her in vain.

He sighed and raised his voice to order, "Let Kai Xin and Hong Tang come in and serve! You all go back to your rooms and rest today!"

Green tea, its branches and leaves trembled, and it knelt down.

"Master, you don't need us anymore."

"No! If you want to use it, you have to wait until your hand is healed before using it! Don't worry, just go back to your room and recuperate!"

Only after getting the assurance did Green Tea and Branches dare to get up and leave.

Happy and cherish this opportunity very much.

After changing clothes and touching up Lin Yan's makeup, she dressed up neatly before she stood aside obediently.

She had her own little thoughts: Zhiye and Lucha were the senior maids, and they were getting old and would soon be sent out of the mansion.

Master Lin is so favored, I still hope to stay, so I am happy and hope that I can be reused now.

He put a lot of effort into dressing up Lin Yan, and her original beauty, which was only 9 points, now became 12 points.

Lin Yan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and was stunned by her own appearance. "What a beautiful woman!"

However, beauty in this era was not a happy thing for a concubine like her. The more outstanding the appearance, the more likely it was that she would be sent around like an object.

Think about the great writer Su Shi. Whenever he was demoted, he would give his concubines to others before leaving for a new post. Even the concubine who was pregnant with his child was not spared. Beauty can only make one more displaced.

Zhao Yuan came up behind her without knowing when. His eyes were somewhat complicated, and he said softly, "I really don't want to take you out and lock you up in the Crescent Moon Courtyard forever, where I can admire you alone."

She has a perfect face, a perfect figure, a perfect skin, and perfect hair. Nothing about her is not beautiful.

Even though Zhao Yuan had seen many beauties, he still fell in love with such a woman.

"You're joking, sir. I'm just a weakling. I'm where I am today only because of your love and favor." Lin Yan put the bronze mirror upside down on the table and lowered her head to play with her long hair.

"Good! I really did love you for what you did! Come on, if anyone dares to look at you for one more second, I'll dig out his eyes and feed them to the fish!"

When she got on the carriage, Lin Yan still sat with her back straight, her eyes straight, and didn't say a word, because of the psychological trauma of riding in the same carriage with Zhao Yuan last time.

Zhao Yuan felt something was wrong. "Are you so nervous about going out with me? I didn't see you asking me to pay last time!"

"My aura is so intimidating without even getting angry!" Lin Yan was afraid that she would say something wrong and be strangled again. She believed that anyone who had experienced this once would not want to look back and would try to keep a distance from Zhao Yuan as much as possible.

Zhao Yuan was puzzled. When they were at home just now, the atmosphere was quite good. Why did Lin Yan suddenly become timid and trembling as if she was walking on thin ice when she got on the carriage? She was vaguely afraid that he would get close to her.

Zhao Yuan frowned and couldn't help but reach out his hand to pull her to his side.

Lin Yan's body trembled. Although she wanted to resist, considering the consequences, she suppressed her fear and moved forward obediently.

Zhao Yuan was a little confused. Why did Lin Yan suddenly become like this? Was she afraid of riding in a carriage? It seemed that this had never happened before. When did it start? Go back and ask Guard Cao if Lin Yan was in this state when riding in a carriage?

Lin Yan has closed her eyes.

A big hand passed through Lin Yan's waist, and then he bent down slightly. The other hand went around her knees and held her on his legs.

It feels so good to be so soft and fragrant, just lying next to each other.

"Why are you suddenly afraid of me?" Zhao Yuan asked softly in Lin Yan's ear, feeling that Lin Yan's muscles tensed up the moment he hugged her.

Lin Yan closed her eyes and shook her head, then turned and buried her face in his arms, like a wronged kitten.

"Who made you angry?" Zhao Yuan stroked Lin Yan's hair and asked again.

She shook her head again, still not looking at him.

"Forget it, as long as you are happy!" Maybe there were too many people trying to assassinate her recently, which made her afraid to ride in a carriage! She felt a little heavy and distressed in her heart for some reason. She hugged Lin Yan tighter, hoping that this would dispel the fear in her heart.

I don't want to go out anymore. Maybe tonight is the highlight! But he heard that the second brother was shameless. The next day, he secretly bought 20,000 A Yan would not live for more than a month.

"Humph! It's better to kill him!" One of the five waves of people must be his. Zhao Yuan suddenly had a new idea.

Lin Yan gradually let down her guard. It seemed that as long as she kept her mouth shut, Zhao Yuan would never do anything to her. Zhao Yuan's embrace was still exceptionally warm. If his personality wasn't so unpredictable, she might really fall in love with him.

Fortunately, the journey was not far, and they soon arrived at the most prosperous Dongzhimen. She was not here to inspect the shops today, so Zhao Yuan directly stopped the carriage at Wanfuzhai, where Lin Yan bought several thousand taels in one go last time.

The waiter saw the carriage of Prince Rui's palace from a distance and informed the shopkeeper, who ran out to greet it personally.

Coincidentally, a small horse-drawn carriage happened to stop at the stone lions in front of Wanfuzhai.

The curtain of the carriage opened, and a beautiful girl walked down with the help of her maid.

While the shopkeeper was greeting Zhao Yuan, he accidentally glanced at the visitor and was slightly stunned.

Zhao Yuan was personally helping Lin Yan get off the carriage. The shopkeeper opened his mouth, not knowing whether he should go forward to greet her.

The waiter was smart and saw the shopkeeper's embarrassment, so he immediately came over happily and shouted loudly: "Miss Mu is here! Please come in."

But Mu Shirley just nodded lightly to the waiter, then stopped and looked towards Zhao Yuan's carriage.

Zhao Yuan had already helped Lin Yan down and turned around to meet Mu Xueli's eyes.

The shopkeeper and the waiter took a step back at the same time.

The people coming and going seemed to have sensed the difference in the atmosphere at this time and place, and they all slowed down their pace.

Lin Yan was puzzled. The shopkeeper had been quite enthusiastic just now, but suddenly his smile was uglier than crying.

Zhao Yuan, who was just very friendly to me, suddenly changed his expression. I didn't do anything.

When I looked up, I finally found a beautiful girl looking at me motionlessly. Her eyes were full of resentment and she was extremely unfriendly to me.

Although Lin Yan didn't know who this girl was, her intuition told her that this was definitely Zhao Yuan's affair. It would be best not to get involved. She moved her body and stood behind Zhao Yuan, blocking the girl's gaze from her.

He turned around and calculated how many steps he was away from the carriage.

If these two people were to have a passionate scene, I would immediately turn around and leave to avoid being affected.

"Miss, there are too many people watching here!" Mu Xueli's personal maid Xiang Ling reminded in a low voice.

Mu Xueli took a deep breath and said, "I know! Since we met unexpectedly, it must be fate. I have to go up and say hello."

She immediately put on a dignified and elegant smile and slowly walked towards Zhao Yuan. She bowed in a very standard way: "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yuan's relaxed and happy mood was gone, and he might say something wrong to Lin Yan again today.

My credit with Lin Yan is probably going to be zero. Oh! I sighed silently in my heart.

Zhao Yuan raised his hand.

The atmosphere was more harmonious than ever before. The crisis was resolved. A few months ago, Mu Xueli walked up to Zhao Yuan without saying a word and slapped the pretty girl next to Zhao Yuan twice. It was incredible that it was so peaceful today!

The shopkeeper felt that there must be a big business today, and immediately stepped forward again with a smile on his face: "Prince Rui, Miss Mu, please come in. Master Lu just made a set of top-quality phoenix hairpins and put them on consignment with me. They are particularly rich and magnificent."

"Yeah!" Zhao Yuan shook his sleeves and strode ahead.

"Ms. Mu," Lin Yan immediately figured out who this girl was. But why did everyone look at her with a sense of fear? It was quite puzzling.

Lin Yan knelt down and bowed to Mu Xueli very politely. Whether her plan could be fulfilled depended on her. She had to leave a good impression on her no matter what she said today. If she couldn't leave a good impression, she definitely couldn't leave a bad impression either.

Mu Xueli glanced at Lin Yan arrogantly, and then glanced at her coldly and disdainfully from the corner of her eye: "Nothing more than that!"
