Chapter 19 Testing Each Other
So he didn't continue the previous topic.
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and no one spoke again.
It was so dull that it was hard to breathe.
"I heard that you are very good at archery. Who taught you?"
After pausing for several breaths, Huo Yuchen asked again.
Lin Pianran lowered her head and said nothing, pretending not to hear. The expression on her face showed that her master was very unhappy.
Seeing her like this, Huo Yuchen was not angry at all, but just wanted to laugh.
This little girl is so hot-tempered!
In front of him, the crown prince, she had no scruples at all and dared to act like a spoiled brat, not giving him any face at all.
Your courage is commendable!
Since she is young, I won't bother with her.
"I heard that you killed ten wolves by yourself. You must be rewarded. I wonder what Miss Lin Liu wants?"
"Gold or silver." Lin Pianran answered impatiently, with dazzling stars in her eyes.
"Aren't you going to keep silent?"
"Money is more important. This must be made clear."
"Why, you are still short of money in the Lin family?"
"There is a shortage, a great shortage, a severe shortage."
"The Lin family only constantly exploits me, taking all the fruits of my labor for themselves. Therefore, I'm very short of silver now! It would be best if you could reward me with more silver!"
"Is the Lin family not good to you?" Huo Yuchen asked tentatively.
"No, very no! The Lin family is despicable and shameless, with no moral bottom line. Sooner or later, I will part ways with them!"
When he said this, his little face was puffed up with anger.
Lin Pianran immediately seized this good opportunity to impress the Lin family in front of the second-in-command of the Qin Dynasty.
She must make the Lin family notorious and make them regret coming into this world.
"Then you earn so much money to give them money, but you yourself are so poor. You are really great!"
"Wasn't it because I was young and easily deceived before, and I wanted to repay that ridiculous kindness of raising me?"
"But, I won't do that again."
"From now on, I will make the Lin family return everything they took a hundredfold!"
When saying this, Lin Pianran did not hide the murderous look on his face.
"Do you need my help?"
"No! No! I can handle it myself!"
Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?
In her previous life, she once fell seriously ill and was driven away by Princess Jing to live on the farm for more than a year.
When he was assassinated, he was saved by Huo Yuchen and they had a brief chance to get along with each other.
At that time, she was very ill and almost died.
Huo Yuchen not only ordered the assassin to be killed, but also ordered the accompanying imperial physician to treat her, which saved her from death.
Huo Yuchen was in a very bad situation at the time. His position as Empress was shaky. With his hair full of silver, he had completely lost his former vigor and spirit.
But when he sees the weak, he will still lend a helping hand.
In Lin Pianran's heart, Huo Yuchen is perfect, kind, and her savior.
She would definitely repay him and would never let him make the same mistake again and suffer the same fate as in his previous life.
This is also the reason why she dared to express her true feelings in front of Huo Yuchen today, speak boldly and frankly, and even be a little presumptuous.
She was also testing him.
Want to know more about him.
The smile on Huo Yuchen's face became even wider. He was looking forward to this little girl showing her sharp claws so that she could be like an ant shaking an elephant in the future.
It seems that there will be some fun to watch at the Lin family.
He was very much looking forward to seeing how this little girl would perform.
Look at how she has made the Lin family a mess and filled it with chaos and disorder.
"I heard that you're going to the shooting range in two days to compete in archery with the princess?"
"Yes! Besides the eldest princess, there are also Feng Pan, Lu Xueyan, and Xue Yunci, and there's also a prize!"
"Then I'll give you a prize. Whoever wins first place will be rewarded handsomely!"
"I will strive to win the first place!"
"Then I'll just wait and see! Waiting for good news!"
Huo Yuchen called his personal bodyguard Jingfeng, "Go and get five thousand taels of silver! This is my reward to Miss Lin for saving her life!"
When Lin Pianran heard about the silver, she was ecstatic, and the little emotion she had just felt completely disappeared.
She praised him repeatedly, "Your Highness is indeed a kind-hearted person. He understands my suffering and decisively solved my urgent need!"
Hearing Lin Pianran's words "She is beautiful and kind-hearted", given his usual temperament, his face would definitely be gloomy.
As a man, I am not proud of my excessive appearance.
What's more, he is the current crown prince.
But facing the innocent look of the little girl, he knew that she meant no harm, so he suppressed his displeasure.
Forget it, she is still a little girl, so I won’t bother with her.
When Huo Yuchen saw the bright and lively woman in front of him, his expression turned from gloomy to bright.
I thought to myself: So easy to coax!
He also found the secret to deal with Lin Pianran, which was to use vulgar things like gold and silver to seduce her.
Coming out of the palace, Lin Pianran happily held the box of silver bills, covered it with her sleeves, and put it into the space.
I returned to the room and had a quick dinner.
Lin Pianran called over two personal maids and patiently instructed them, "At night, we must be more alert."
"No one lives in my wing anymore, so I'll squeeze into the same wing with you guys."
"Someone might come to ambush us tonight, so don't take off your clothes. Sleep with them on and be ready to fight at any time!"
"Also, you two will take turns on duty. I'm going to get some sleep first. I still have things to do tonight."
After the two maids discussed, they decided that Huanxue would be on duty in the first half of the night and Tianzhu would be on duty in the second half.
Lin Pianran crawled into Huanxue's bed and soon fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Lin Pianran heard Huanxue calling softly, "Miss, a guard quietly entered your room."
Lin Pianran opened her eyes and instantly became a little more awake.
"Miss, just as you expected, the guard, masked and carrying a rather large sack, quietly sneaked into your room. I don't know what he wants to do."
This was Tianzhu's excited voice. It seemed that she had woken up a long time ago.
After hearing what the two maids said, Lin Pianran crawled out from under the quilt, applied clean water to her face, and woke up completely.
She took two maids and quietly went to the empty room.
The guard was sneaking out of the room, looking around cautiously.
Then he walked out of the yard and slipped outside.
Lin Pianran asked two maids to follow him and see who sent this "little mouse".
She opened the door of the compartment by herself, took out a flashlight from the space, and looked inside.
Suddenly my scalp felt tingling.
Her bed and the surroundings of the house were covered with densely packed snakes, all in all colors, many of which were species she had never seen before.
There are dozens of them.
It seems that the opponent has also put in a lot of effort!
Fortunately, she had planned ahead and didn't sleep in this room, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Lin Pianran's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
