Is he speaking sarcastically?

But Yu Zhaozhao observed Yu Nian's expression, which was clear and revealed a hint of overly simple stupidity. She didn't look like someone with malicious thoughts at all... Could it be that after not seeing her for a few days, her acting skills have become so superb?

Yu Zhaozhao was a thoughtful and sensitive person. She smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Nian Nian for her blessing."

The two exchanged a few casual pleasantries.

In fact, Yu Nian was racking his brains and using his social skills, which were basically useless for talking to people, to flatter Yu Zhaozhao in a very clumsy way. Yu Zhaozhao was extremely suspicious and thought that Yu Nian was acting.

The atmosphere between the two of them was weird and funny for a moment.

Yu Zhaozhao felt her temples throbbing as she heard a series of inexplicable compliments like, "Royal sister, you look so beautiful today," "Royal sister, what perfume did you spray on? You smell so good."

She even thought that this was some new trick that Yu Nian came up with.

Yu Zhaozhao's original desire to contact Bai Yuheng faded a little. She hurriedly said goodbye to Yu Nian and even forgot about Bai Yuheng's existence.

Yu Nian looked at her hurriedly leaving, a little puzzled: "It's lunch time now, won't you stay and have dinner with me, sister?"

Yu Zhaozhao, who had walked more than ten meters away, heard her enthusiastic pleas to stay and pretended to be deaf and dumb and left.

"Could it be that the wind was too strong and my sister didn't hear it?" Yu Nian felt a little regretful. She felt that her flattery just now was pretty good, but she didn't know how much favor it could gain from the heroine.

"Han Chen, why don't you chase after her and ask the imperial sister if she wants to have dinner together?" Yu Nian turned to look at Han Chen, but saw that he lowered his head a little.

Bai Yuheng, who was standing behind Yu Nian, watched this dramatic scene. He suppressed the smile in his tone and said, "Your Highness, perhaps the eldest princess has something important to deal with."

Yu Nian nodded. That was right. The heroine still needed to level up and fight monsters, so she asked, "National Master, do you want to stay for dinner?"

On the other side, Yu Zhaozhao, who had just returned to the palace, became more and more confused the more she thought about it.

"Why does Your Highness look so troubled?" A pretty woman came in from the door and spoke affectionately.

When Yu Zhaozhao saw her, his expression softened a bit, "Lin Mu, you're here."

Lin Mu stepped forward briskly and bowed to her with a smile, "What's troubling you, Your Highness? Why don't you tell me and let me help you analyze it?"

Yu Zhaozhao told her everything that happened today. Lin Mu also frowned. "It's really strange that the Crown Princess behaved like this. Could it be that she has some backup plan waiting for you?"

"Yu Nian is not that smart. Could it be that Liu Xi instigated her?" Lin Mu analyzed.

Lin Mu and Yu Zhaozhao became close when they were teenagers. Her family was very wealthy, and although she had no power in the military or politics, she was respected as an imperial merchant.

Yu Zhaozhao understood the importance of power and money since childhood, and naturally selected his friends based on these aspects. Although they had other intentions, the two found that their personalities were compatible during their time together, and they were both soulmates and close friends.

"Liu Xi caused a scene in a nightclub two months ago and accidentally killed a male orc. She was locked up at home, but it is not impossible for her to contact Yu Nian." Lin Mu's analysis was very logical.

"But what is her purpose in doing this?" Yu Zhaozhao asked.

"Perhaps it's to make you relax your vigilance so that I can do something to the sacrifice in a few days," Lin Mu stroked his chin with a cunning look in his eyes.

Yu Zhaozhao didn't say anything. Her intuition told her that things didn't seem to be the case, but she wouldn't jump to conclusions without solid evidence.

Lin Mu patted her shoulder and said, "I will carefully monitor this matter for you. The most urgent thing now is to quickly deal with the negative public opinion about you on Star Network."

"The reason why the Zerg attack on Galaxy M has escalated so drastically is definitely related to Yu Nian. This is the first independent practice opportunity Her Majesty has given you. On the bright side, it means Her Majesty is more interested in you sharing government affairs with her."

Although Lin Mu also wanted to appease her, his analysis was not without reason.

Yu Zhaozhao pondered, "Perhaps this Star Network public opinion incident is also a test from the Queen Mother."

Lin Mu nodded approvingly. "Of course. Otherwise, why did His Majesty scold you after recalling you? She might as well have just canceled the trending search and cracked down on public opinion. Which one wouldn't be much more effective than scolding you?"

Yu Zhaozhao pursed her lips. She had been going to the M galaxy to comfort the disaster victims these days, which was a lot of work. However, she ended up messing things up and was scolded by her mother. Then, she praised Yu Nian for her serious dance studies in front of her. She was so angry that she lost her mind and went to find trouble with Yu Nian.

Lin Mu curled his lips slightly and smiled: "Your Highness, I have a plan. Liu Xi is now imprisoned, and Yu Nian will not make any moves for the time being. Why don't we..."

Yu Zhaozhao frowned. She had always disdained to actively plot murder. "Niannian is my sister after all. What I did would inevitably hurt our sisterly bond."

Lin Mu sighed and said nothing more.

In the quiet afternoon, the subtle chirping of cicadas gradually sounded, covering up the hidden and ambiguous sounds in the hall.

She looked defenseless as she fell asleep, her snow-white cheeks revealing a faint pink, as delicate as a spring peach, her thick eyelashes were like a quiet feather fan, casting an arc-shaped shadow under her eyes, and the sound of her shallow breathing sounded smoothly in the room.

Like an ignorant lamb, he let the wolf into the house without knowing it.

The man's low and rapid voice suddenly became louder in the hall. He clutched his collar tightly and walked towards the bed with a staggering step.

The plain white collar was pinched into deep wrinkles, and the man's usually cold face was now as if stained with the intoxicating color of wine, his expression holy and shy.

"How could... there be a reaction again..."

After he discovered this strangeness on the first day, every time he saw Yu Nian, he would wear an extra piece of clothing and never had any further contact with her.

He had never accepted the lunch invitation, but now he took advantage of Yu Nian's nap to lure away the guards and steal her away.

Bai Yuheng's slender jade-like fingertips were clenched until they turned white, and the slight trembling mixed the secret desires in his heart with the restraint and etiquette of the past, feeling painful and entangled.

A male orc chosen to be the national teacher cannot get married easily, otherwise he will lose his chastity and will no longer be able to inherit part of the beast god's divine power, lose the power of divination and foresight, and may even cause backlash, lose his supernatural powers and mental strength, and become completely useless.

But there are exceptions. The Beast God will guide the Imperial Master to find the only "destined person" in his life. The destined person is only approved by the Beast God, and Bai Yuheng's teacher once divined for him that there is no such person in this world.

In other words, Bai Yuheng must maintain his holiness until the next imperial teacher takes office.
