I just want to rob you of your luck

Tinglan was delighted. She was finally able to complete the task this time. Otherwise, the princess would vent her anger on her.

The princess is really something. Why doesn’t she let Lin Jiuer come to see the prince? She always sends her here.

On second thought, Tinglan smiled bitterly. How could the princess allow Lin Jiuer to have contact with Prince Kang alone?

Tinglan went back and told Lin Yaner what Li Cheng said. Lin Yaner happily packed up and dressed up.

Then someone prepared a sumptuous meal.

Li Cheng changed his clothes and went to Lin Yan'er's yard. He took a deep breath before entering the house.

When Lin Yan'er saw Li Cheng, her eyes lit up and she quickly greeted him with a gentle smile. As usual, Li Cheng would definitely pull Lin Yan'er over to sit down with him.

But today, Li Cheng subconsciously dodged and walked around Lin Yan'er and sat down.

Lin Yan'er's face looked grim as she missed her target, but as soon as she turned around, she changed to an expression of grievance.

"My Lord, are you still angry about Bai Zhi?"

Li Cheng didn't want to talk about this now, so he said calmly: "Let's eat first."

Lin Yan'er was very good at observing people's expressions and quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, do you think the food I prepared today is to your liking?"

Li Cheng glanced at the dishes on the table. They were all his favorite dishes, and the depression in his heart dissipated a little.

No matter what Yan'er was like in the past, her feelings for him were real.

"Well, let's eat."

Now that Bai Zhi is gone, Lin Jiuer is arranged to serve Lin Yaner at lunch, while Tinglan serves the dishes to Li Cheng.

The meal was dull and neither of them ate much.

After dinner, Lin Yan'er was afraid that Li Cheng would leave in a hurry again, so she quickly said pitifully: "Your Highness, are you in a bad mood recently? Can you tell Yan'er about it? I didn't see Your Highness yesterday, and Yan'er missed you very much."

Li Cheng didn't know what to say, but seeing Lin Yan'er's tearful face, he couldn't bear to refuse.

After Tinglan served a pot of tea, she and Lin Jiuer tactfully left.

Lin Yan'er threw herself into Li Cheng's arms and started crying.

"Your Highness, I thought you would never care about Yan'er again. Yan'er really doesn't know what happened to you. You suddenly disappeared from my sight. I am so frightened."

Li Cheng sighed. That night, after Bai Zhi climbed into bed with him, he returned to the study room angrily.

Not long after, he heard the guards outside the palace report that a woman had been caught while sneaking into his study at night.

Li Cheng was a little curious about who was so fearless that he dared to break into his room late at night?

When the person was brought into the study, Li Cheng was shocked and angry. He didn't expect Bai Zhi to dare to chase into his yard.

But Bai Zhi looked a little miserable, with a pale face, disheveled hair, clothes worn haphazardly, and dirty all over, just like an evil ghost crawling out of the ground.

She knelt down and begged for help, saying that the princess wanted to kill her, and begged Li Cheng to give her a chance to live, as she had the princess's secret to tell.

She also told him about how Lin Yan'er ordered two old women to kill her and throw her into a dry well.

Her words successfully aroused Li Cheng's interest, and he patiently listened to Bai Zhi's words.

Only then did she realize that Lin Yan'er was not as simple and innocent as she appeared. She had been a bully in the Marquis' Mansion since she was a child, and was also cruel and ruthless to the servants.

Lin Jiuer had been bullied by her since she was a child and was treated like a maid, and the chance encounter between Lin Yaner and King Kang was also planned by her.

Prince Kang then realized how naive he was. He thought he fell in love with Lin Yan'er at first sight, and then deliberately approached her to win her heart and successfully proposed to her.

He had even boasted about this to his mother with pride. Now it seemed no wonder that his mother didn't like Lin Yan'er. She must have seen through everything.

He was the prey targeted by the hunter, and he walked into the hunter's trap step by step.

He felt like a fool being played around by Lin Yan'er, and he felt both aggrieved and angry.

However, he promised to save Bai Zhi's life, and naturally fulfilled his promise. He had Bai Zhi sent to a farm in the suburbs overnight.

But I won't take care of her and let her fend for herself.

He had no good feelings towards this kind of maid who had evil intentions and climbed into bed with her, and who betrayed her master.

After calming down, Li Cheng thought a lot. Although Lin Yan'er had schemed against him and was two-faced, she was indeed very good at pleasing him when they were together.

Many of the things she did were to please him, and he believed that Lin Yan'er loved him.

And if you ask yourself honestly, Li Cheng did take the bait because he liked her, so you can't blame Lin Yan'er entirely.

Besides, Lin Yan'er had behaved quite well after marrying into the palace, especially when he thought about how harmonious they were at night, he really couldn't bear to be separated from her.

Another point is that the royal family only has widowhood but not divorce. Since the two are already married and still have feelings for each other, they have no choice but to continue living together.

Thinking about what he had heard from his mother about the many ways the women in the harem fought, he felt that Lin Yan'er did not deserve such a crime.

He hugged Lin Yan'er and felt her slightly trembling body, and his heart softened.

"Yan'er, the past is all in the past, and I don't want to pursue it. If you still have something to hide from me, you can tell me now, and I won't blame you. But I don't want to hear that you lied to me again in the future."

Lin Yan'er's body stiffened. What did Li Cheng mean by this?

She has now admitted that the new clothes were made by Lin Jiuer, and the only thing she lied to him about was that she let Lin Jiuer sleep with her at night.

She didn't want to talk about this matter, and she couldn't talk about it no matter what.

She couldn't say that she was too weak to sleep with him or get pregnant, right? How could she maintain Li Cheng's favor in that case?

"Your Highness, are you still angry about the past? Yan'er assures you that there is nothing hidden anymore.

Yan'er was indeed confused before, but that was all to win the pity and love of His Highness.

It is because Yan'er loves His Highness so much that she did those things. From now on, Yan'er will never deceive His Highness again."

After listening to Lin Yan'er's solemn words, Li Cheng finally decided to forgive her.

The two of them returned to their previous tenderness and affection, and after a while of tenderness, Li Cheng left to handle official business.

Before leaving, he said he would come over in the evening.

As soon as Li Cheng left, Lin Yaner called Lin Jiuer in.

"Jiu'er, His Highness will be here tonight. Go back and prepare to serve him in the night."

When Lin Yan'er said this, she could be said to be gritting her teeth. She felt heartbroken to have her man handed over to someone else, but for the sake of her future plans, she could only endure it for now.

Lin Jiuer responded obediently and then walked out.

Returning to the servants' room, she thought for a moment and felt quite impressed with Lin Yan'er, who had managed to deal with Li Cheng.

She had not let Bai Zhi reveal the fact that she had replaced Lin Yan'er in the emperor's bedchamber. What would be the point if the truth was revealed?

She just wanted to torture Lin Yan'er bit by bit, then capture Li Cheng's heart bit by bit, and let Lin Yan'er also taste the feeling of losing everything.
