Ren Lao snatched the bottle from Yun Duoduo's hand and ran away as fast as he could.

Yun Duoduo chuckled as she watched Ren Lao flee in disarray.

This person is really cute; isn't he afraid I might poison it?

"That's true. I'm trapped here; how could I possibly poison anyone? I can't escape their grasp anyway."

...

In the evening, Yun Duoduo was eating grapes when Ren Lao walked in.

"I found you some paintings and a few storybooks, take a look."

Wow, looks like the probiotics are working!

Seeing that things were looking promising, Yun Duoduo made further requests.

"Could you take me to the study?"

Ren Lao felt a little embarrassed.

"Hmm... it's not impossible, but we have to avoid the King."

"How about tonight?"

"What are you talking about?"

When Yun Duoduo saw that it was Xi Jing, she quickly shut her mouth.

He mustn't find out.

Ren Lao stopped talking and his eyes darted away.

"Hey, you lunatic, you're here!"

"What does 'madman' mean?"

"That's right, it's an affectionate nickname for Your Majesty, a compliment. You're handsome and have a wild heart."

"I heard Nanyang won?"

[Hmph, so what if we win?]

Without the defense map of Western Chu, they couldn't have captured a single city.

Yun Duoduo blinked.

[Xi Jing, you're being petty. Our Nanyang doesn't care about your Western Chu cities at all, and we never intended to seize your territory.]

The defense map is hidden inside the pillow in my bedchamber.

Good heavens, this place where the defense map is hidden is truly peculiar. It seems Xijing sleeps with it every day!

The flavor is truly unique.

...?
