Lin Yuxin then ignored the group of women next door who were praising whose son was good-looking, whose dress was beautiful, and whose illegitimate daughter dressed better than the legitimate daughter.
She and Xiaodie ate their food attentively, and after finishing, they prepared to continue exploring other places.
I haven't been back to Beijing for half a year, and I wonder what good food there is now.
As soon as I got up, I heard the woman next door exclaim in surprise:
"Look, isn't that the Regent? What's he doing here?"
"Really? What's he doing at Shiya Pavilion? Could he be here to see Princess Shuhe? After all, it's been so long! He must miss her terribly!"
One of the women joked.
Her words made Princess Shuhe blush, but she still peeked out the window.
As it turned out, she actually saw Li Xiaochen walking towards Shiya Pavilion. During the walk, she even saw Li Xiaochen suddenly look up and look at her, with a smile on his lips, making him appear much gentler.
Shuhe felt her heart pounding wildly. Just now… was the prince smiling at her? So that's how handsome the prince looks when he smiles!
He smiled at me; he must like me!
Princess Shuhe was secretly delighted, feeling that she and the prince were in love and would be together forever.
Hearing what was happening next door, Lin Yuxin looked out the window and saw that show-off grinning at her. Lin Yuxin was speechless. Had he finished dealing with things in the palace?
Does the prince have so much free time? He has nothing to do after just one night? She hasn't even started playing yet, and she's already been caught.
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes and then shrank back. She was already planning to leave, but now she couldn't.
Lin Yuxin didn't have to wait long before she saw Li Xiaochen push the door open and enter.
"Xin Xin, it's been hard for me to find you."
Li Xiaochen said in a wronged tone, and then walked over and naturally sat down next to Lin Yuxin, taking her hand in his.
Looking at his aggrieved expression, Lin Yuxin felt that she must have done something terrible in her past life to have turned their prince into this!
Shameless!
Xiaodie, with great insight, withdrew and stood guard at the door.
Seeing that Xiao Die had left, Li Xiaochen became even more aggressive, picking Lin Yuxin up and placing her on his lap, his chin resting on her shoulder, and holding her like that.
"Xin Xin, I miss you! You don't even miss me!"
Listen to this, listen to this! Is this what a prince says? This is the talk of a resentful woman!
However, Lin Yuxin didn't push him away, but her tone wasn't very nice:
"What, have you finished dealing with matters in the palace?"
"Yes, the interrogations of the princelings have basically ended. Those who should be imprisoned have been imprisoned, and those who should be executed have been executed."
Li Xiaochen held her tightly, his deep voice ringing in Lin Yuxin's ear, making her ears itch. She subconsciously stepped back a little.
"What should we do with those foreign spies in the capital?"
Lin Yuxin then asked, "I wonder what the expressions were on the faces of those spies when they found out I was penniless?"
"His Majesty said that since they have no money, we should leave them alone for now and let them go hungry for a while. They will go back on their own. We just need to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't do anything rash."
Li Xiaochen smiled and said softly.
In fact, the Emperor also said something else:
“That brat really doesn’t let any benefit slip by, but this has done me a great favor! These people have no money, so they will definitely not have a good life. I am happy that they have a bad life. Go back and tell that girl that the money she has plundered is a reward from me and she is not allowed to confiscate it.”
Li Xiaochen dared not tell Lin Yuxin this, otherwise the girl would definitely explode.
"Hehe, you can send someone to keep an eye on things. I'm looking forward to watching the show. By the way, when is the Holy Maiden from the Northern Frontier returning to the capital? Things in the capital are almost settled now. We've already captured the Holy Maiden, so we should get some benefits, right?"
Lin Yuxin eagerly reminded Li Xiaochen not to forget to report the miserable state of the spies to her at any time. Then she thought of the Northern Frontier Saintess she had captured and wondered where Li Xiaochen had hidden her.
"Don't worry, I will definitely grant your request. There's no rush regarding the Holy Maiden. I've already written to the Zhuge family, the head of the four great families of the Northern Frontier, to see what they have to say before making a decision. Rest assured, I guarantee that Xin Xin won't suffer any losses."
Li Xiaochen affectionately pinched Lin Yuxin's nose and smiled as he made a promise.
"Alright, since you have your own plan, you handle it there. I'll leave it to you! Let me check your injury first."
Lin Yuxin felt relieved after hearing Li Xiaochen's words. Only then did she remember that Li Xiaochen had been injured yesterday. She hurriedly tried to pull off his clothes to see if his injuries were any better, thinking that she would apply some medicine to him later.
"Xin Xin, don't be in such a hurry, I'll let you watch to your heart's content tonight!"
Li Xiaochen let her pull at his clothes, saying with obvious enjoyment.
Lin Yuxin: ………?
If it weren't for the fact that you're my man, I would have killed you!
Lin Yuxin gritted her teeth, but didn't stop what she was doing.
Just then, a reprimanding voice came from the doorway:
"How dare you, you audacious lackey, block my door! Get out of my way!"
Princess Shuhe pushed Xiaodie aside as she spoke, then pushed open the door and entered. As soon as she entered, she saw Lin Yuxin sitting in Li Xiaochen's lap, tugging at Li Xiaochen's clothes.
What are you doing?
A sharp sound rang out, echoing throughout the room.
Princess Shuhe was followed by several young attendants, all daughters of important officials in the court. They all entered at once and were shocked to see this scene.
Isn't this regent supposed to be celibate? How can he be so improper as to be hugging and cuddling with this woman?
