Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 24 She No Longer Wants to Be the Heroine (24)

She had never faced the pressure of the so-called Crown Prince of Shao. Even when his acting was exposed, she had thought Shao Lian was just intelligent, gentle, and elegant. But now, she and the people under Shao Lian's command could feel the pressure and murderous intent of the Crown Prince. Even though it wasn't directed at her, it made her feel a little breathless.

Yu Ziyin believed that he was not capable of deciding the life and death of certain people in just a few breaths. However, Shao Lian, the young crown prince, dealt with those people as easily as discussing a meal. Yu Ziyin, who rarely felt that he was living in ancient times, felt that it was true that human lives were worthless in ancient times.

In fact, in Shao Lian's eyes, she was just a weed, a weed that looked good and was favored by him. In other words, her life was in Shao Lian's hands.

Now she and Shao Lian were the only ones left in the room, and she felt like the food in her mouth was choking.

At this moment, her shoulders felt heavy and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Yu Ziyin turned her head and saw Shao Lian leaning on her shoulder with his eyes closed. She pursed her lips and asked, "Shao Lang?"

She was glad that Shao Lian didn't look at her, as she was sure that the smile on her face was very ugly.

"You've been traveling for such a long time, you should rest early. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."

Shao Lian ordered some hot water, and the two of them leaned against the wooden barrel. Perhaps because there were too many things to do, Shao Lian was not in the mood to do anything. He just hugged Yu Zinyin, leaned against the wooden barrel, and closed his eyes to rest.

But Yu Ziyin's body was rather stiff. Even when he held her in his arms, she didn't dare to lean on him. They had done such intimate things before in the hot spring yard, but now she didn't dare to get close to him.

Shao Lian actually noticed that after Wei Zhe left, her body movements became a little stiff, as if she was frightened. Shao Lian thought about it for a moment and knew what was going on.

Qingqing is a noble lady in the capital. It is normal for her to be afraid since she has never seen such scenes. She is still a little naive and unacceptable when it comes to dealing with people. He can understand that, but he just hopes that she can be tougher. How can she survive in the backyard and the harem in the future if she is so weak and incompetent?

If he didn't like her anymore and forgot about her in some remote corner of the palace, she might be bullied because of her weak character. What could she do with her servant (Xi Que) and the old nanny (Rong Mama) who only knew how to yell? Wouldn't she be bullied to death?

Yes, even at this moment, Shao Lian, who knew that he was not loyal, felt that one day he would dislike Liu Zinyin and would not want to see her anymore, so while he still liked her, he taught her little by little how to deal with those who were insubordinate, taught her the skills of dealing with the world and governing, and told her that she should not show any kindness to those who threatened them.

As for how much Liu Zinyin can learn, how much she can master, and what position she can reach with it, it depends on herself. If she is too stupid to learn, Shao Lian will not have much patience to teach her. If she is smart and can apply what she has learned, and gain a foothold in the backyard and the harem, that is also her ability.

Shao Lian kissed the butterfly bone in front of him, "Qingqing, they will threaten our position, they deserve to die."

Yu Ziyin tightened her hands on the edge of the barrel, her eyes trembling, and she said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid."

How come this person is so sharp?

Well, she was a little scared. She had never really killed anyone, nor could she decide someone's life or death with just a few words like Shao Lian. Even though she had watched a lot of horror movies, she only watched them. After all, she knew that they were all fake.

And Shao Lian would really kill those people, even himself. When he thought of this, the kiss on his shoulder felt like the tongue of a poisonous snake passing by.

Shao Lian lowered his head, his long black hair falling on Yu Ziyin's collarbone. He stroked her chin with his hand, turned her around to look at him, pecked her lips lightly, and said, "My dear, remember, when it comes to dealing with some people, you must be ruthless. You must cut the grass at its roots and not harbor good intentions, otherwise there will be endless troubles. You better be brave. I don't like timid and useless people."

Perhaps because he was afraid that she would be scared and not dare to act as presumptuous as before, Shao Lian tried to comfort her with kind words for a long time. Holding the little one in his arms made him feel very distressed. He had thought she was very brave before, but it seemed that was not necessarily the case.

Shao Lian thought it was funny, but deep down he also felt it was cute.

Yu Zinyin pinched the corner of his clothes and leaned against his chest. She didn't know if it was because she was frightened today, or because she was tired from the journey, so she didn't dream about her sister from time to time like she did before in the Prince's Mansion. Even if she had a thousand thoughts in her mind, she couldn't resist the sleepiness.

The two men slept in their clothes and slept until the next day. They went downstairs to have breakfast and left the inn. The innkeeper saw that the two men only had a personal bodyguard named Shang Liang with them, so he reminded them to be careful and come back early, because there were too many people today and they might hurt the guests.

On the streets, one could see servants holding wooden signs or men and women in gorgeous clothes everywhere. Shang Liang found out after asking that the wooden signs were issued by the clinic of the genius doctor Yan Yue. People entered according to their ranking. Moreover, the wooden signs were not expensive, only two copper coins, and could be afforded by both rich merchants and poor people.

Shao Lian and Yu Ziyin saw people holding wooden signs along the way. At the same time, many people saw this couple with outstanding looks, and their eyes flashed with surprise, but they quickly looked away, thinking that they were all here to see a miracle doctor. Some of them were so bold that they looked directly at Yu Ziyin's flat belly, wondering if this young lady came here because she couldn't get pregnant.

After all, this couple did not look like dying people, and their clothes and temperament were also outstanding. I think it was because of that aspect, and the world also first thought that it was the woman's problem. Gradually, more and more eyes fell on Yu Zinyin, and the regret in their eyes became more and more obvious.

Yu Ziyin had no idea what they were thinking. She was simply curious about what Yan Yue looked like and wanted to meet the future Crown Princess, perhaps even curry favor with her. After all, she would still be living in the inner court, in the harem, and would undoubtedly see and spend much more time with her than with Crown Prince Shao Lian. The sooner she could show her favor, the better, she would be.

Of course, she would not curry favor with Shao Lian, at least not now. In Shao Lian's eyes, Yan Yue was a dangerous person who was very likely to rebel. If she continued to curry favor with him, she would probably not be able to leave Qingcheng.

Yu Zinyin was thinking about how to please Shao Lian, but she didn't know that Shao Lian had been watching her for a long time. Seeing that she didn't know what she was thinking about and didn't seem to care about the eyes of people around her, she couldn't help but be curious about what was going on in her little head all day long and why she was always in a trance.

"Shao Lang, should we also go get a wooden sign?" Yu Ziyin turned her head and asked. Of course, she was afraid that Shao Lian would think that she wanted to get close to Yan Yue, so she explained in a low voice: "This way, you can get closer to that miracle doctor and understand his situation."

Shao Lian looked at her and saw that it was indeed not because of the child, so he agreed, "Yes."

Numbers will only be issued today. Those who do not receive a number after today will not be accepted by the clinic. Those who do receive a number will be patiently treated by the clinic even if they have to wait several days. Shang Liang went to queue up for a number, but as mentioned before, the number of numbers is limited and there are many people who want to be treated. Because he arrived late, Shang Liang did not get one.
