Su Lixia tried her best to explain: "If I, the princess, were to go there myself and get discovered, wouldn't that alert the thief? You agree, right? If he finds you, you can still say that I, the princess, sent you to pick up something."
Xiao Lian was speechless, but had nothing to refute. After hesitating for a while, she compromised.
"Alright then, if I get into danger, Princess, you must protect me."
Su Lixia laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, in my palace, who would dare to harm you?"
"That's good, then I'll go when it gets dark!" Xiao Lian raised her head and puffed out her chest, looking determined.
"Great! Keep it up!" Su Lixia clapped her hands.
That night, Yi Zexuan visited again and said, "I was bored staying in the palace and thought that the princess's place would be fun, so I came to stay for a while."
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia glanced at Yi Zexuan with suspicion: "Could it be that he knows I'm going to catch a thief?" Su Lixia thought this because she felt that he was the male lead and could see through everything.
"Have you developed your IQ?" the little system complained disdainfully.
The herbal tea was served, and Yi Zexuan poured himself a cup without a care. Su Lixia looked at his unceremonious manner and thought disdainfully, "Is this the male lead? Is this all? Does he think he owns everything?"
"Are you planning to arrest them right away, or do you want to wait a bit longer?" Yi Zexuan put down his teacup and asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was shocked. Good heavens, the male lead really knows everything!
Sensing Su Lixia's gaze, Yi Zexuan explained, "I heard Lin Ziwen say a few words."
"Oh~" Su Lixia understood, and then said, "Of course we should just grab them! They're all part of my dowry!"
"Dowry?" Yi Zexuan glanced at her furtively.
"Ah? Ah! Yes!" The turn from second tone rising to fourth tone falling was Su Lixia's last act of stubbornness. She forced herself to explain, "Father said that I should keep everything he gave me carefully, so that it will come in handy after I get married."
"It wasn't prepared for you! It wasn't prepared for you! It wasn't prepared for you!" Su Lixia kept repeating this sentence in her mind, brainwashing herself.
Yi Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "I have brought people for the princess, so I don't need her anymore. How could a little girl catch people?"
Upon hearing this, before Su Lixia could say anything, Xiao Lian became excited, her eyes lighting up as she asked, "Really?"
The guard looked her up and down and said with disdain, "You think you can arrest people like this? Besides, our prince's word is law."
Xiaolian stopped smiling, turned around, and glared at her with narrowed eyes.
Seeing her posture, Su Lixia thought she was about to start a fight and was about to try to persuade her when he heard Xiaolian snort at him, then turn back with a smile on her face and say, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Ha! A fickle woman," Su Lixia thought to herself.
Yi Zexuan told Su Lixia his plan and left after nightfall. The lights in Su Lixia's bedroom were also turned off early.
Lin Ziwen's guess was right. There must be a reason why he could stay with that kind of person. The guard went and sent the guard at the entrance of the small storeroom away.
Yi Zexuan and his companion sneaked in through the back door and quietly entered Su Lixia's bedroom. At that moment, Su Lixia was sitting there with a thin blanket wrapped around her, when Yi Zexuan's sudden appearance startled her.
"Perhaps the princess can enjoy the show better in a different location."
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia frowned in confusion. Why did she need to look? Wasn't it enough that they had already caught them?
"Let's go," Yi Zexuan said in a muffled voice.
