"No... Your Highness, you've misunderstood. It's Little Dragon Girl who's failing. You must go and see her quickly..."
While panting, Consort Ming clutched her chest and spoke haltingly.
"What?"
Li Zhu's expression changed drastically. He disregarded the fact that Consort Ming had just said he was incapable and hurriedly pulled Consort Ming aside to ask...
"Where is it? Take me there quickly..."
At this moment, Li Zhu was extremely anxious. The other party was the Dragon King's daughter. The Dragon King trusted him so much that he entrusted his daughter to his care, but something happened the very next day. How could he explain this to the Dragon King?
Consort Ming disregarded the ethical relationship between her and her uncle, and hurriedly dragged Li Zhu towards the palace...
The servants passing by couldn't help but stare, speculating maliciously: "Is His Highness the Crown Prince in such a hurry now? No wonder he's the Crown Prince, he's got tastes for both men and women..."
Li Zhu had no idea what his servants were thinking. Soon, the two of them arrived in front of Xiaolongnü. At this moment, Xiaolongnü's face was pale, her eyes were closed and she was motionless, her breathing had become extremely weak!
"Has the imperial physician been summoned?"
"not yet…"
Consort Ming paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, realizing she might have made a mistake. She should have sent someone to summon the imperial physician first, but this was the Eastern Palace, and she couldn't move around easily. Even if she wanted to summon someone, she wouldn't dare show herself...
"There's no time to waste, I'll just carry her over..."
Li Zhu reached out and picked up Xiaolongnu, then ran wildly outside...
The moment his hands touched Xiaolongnu, the dragon tattoo on Li Zhu's wrist lit up, and then Xiaolongnu slowly opened her eyes, looking at Li Zhu with a puzzled expression and asking...
"Brother Zhu, where are you taking me?"
Upon hearing Xiaolongnu's words, Li Zhu stopped in his tracks. He looked at Xiaolongnu in confusion. She was just breathing weakly a moment ago, how come she's acting like nothing happened in such a short time?
"Are you alright?"
Li Zhu asked with concern!
"I'm fine, what could possibly be wrong with me?"
Little Dragon Girl looked at Li Zhu with a puzzled expression, which made Li Zhu feel embarrassed, as if he were stealing a child!
Li Zhu finally felt relieved, but at the same time he was thinking about why Xiaolongnu was acting this way. The Dragon King hadn't told him about this situation, and he guessed it might be related to the Dragon King's Ring...
The only connection between him and Xiaolongnu was the Dragon King's Ring. Previously, Xiaolongnu was always with the Dragon King, and the ring was always by her side, so there was no problem. However, as the Crown Prince, he couldn't possibly take Xiaolongnu with him at all times, which is why this situation arose…
It's just a ring, what could be so special about it? Why would Xiaolongnu be so attached to it?
Li Zhu found that there were too many things he couldn't understand, and he felt that more and more mystery was shrouding him...
"It's good that you're alright. From now on, you can stay by my side..."
Li Zhu could only say helplessly that having such a clingy person around would make it harder to pick up girls in the future. But as soon as he said this, Xiaolongnu looked at him with a terrified expression and said...
"Brother Zhu, what are you doing? My father asked you to take care of me, but he didn't say you had to marry me. I'm still a child..."
Li Zhu noticed that his face seemed to be black all day. What the hell was going on? He had kindly saved her, and now she was being misunderstood as having ulterior motives towards him…
And am I such a beast? Don't you know you're still a child? And can a child with such thoughts still be considered an innocent child?
"What are you thinking about? You just fainted, and I suspect it's related to the Dragon King's Ring. I'm afraid something might happen to you again, so I thought I'd have you stay by my side from now on..."
Li Zhu explained in an annoyed tone!
"Oh...I see! But even if Brother Zhu likes me, it's okay. It's just that I'm still young. Even if you have feelings for me, you'll have to wait until I grow up, right? Hehe..."
After speaking, Xiaolongnu buried her head in Li Zhu's arm, as if he were truly a beast. This made Li Zhu roar inwardly with rage. He was innocent! One infamy after another was being hurled at him, almost suffocating him. Now, to make matters worse, he was also branded with the infamy of liking children. In his previous life, this would have been a capital offense, punishable by life imprisonment.
"I…"
Li Zhu wanted to say that he didn't mean it that way, but at that moment Xiaolongnu fell asleep again...
This left him feeling helpless. He could only shake his head and tiptoe back, afraid of waking Xiaolongnu. No one saw that Xiaolongnu, with her head buried in Li Zhu's arms, had a satisfied smile on her lips!
He carried Xiaolongnu back to his palace, intending to put her down and then rest in a side hall so that he could rush over immediately if anything happened to her…
But after he put Xiaolongnu down, he found that she was gripping his clothes tightly. He tried to remove her hand, but she only tightened her grip. This left Li Zhu feeling helpless and caught in a dilemma.
If he stays here, the rumors will probably be confirmed again the next day. The thought of children avoiding him in the future makes him feel gloomy...
What sins have I committed to deserve such infamy?
Li Zhu screamed inwardly, but to no avail. In the end, not wanting to disturb Xiaolongnu's rest, Li Zhu could only resign himself to his fate and lie down by her bedside to keep her company...
After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhu drifted off to sleep and slept soundly. He hadn't had a proper night's sleep since transmigrating...
After he fell asleep, the dragon tattoo on his arm began to flicker, and the black power within him was activated, giving Li Zhu a feeling of being enveloped in a hot spring, which was extremely comfortable...
The next morning, Li Zhu opened his eyes feeling refreshed, but then a face appeared in front of him, startling him so much that he instinctively backed away…
Only when he was far away did he realize that it was Little Dragon Girl lying there staring at him...
"Why are you standing so close to me? You startled me..."
Li Zhu said with a hint of reproach!
Hearing Li Zhu's words, Xiaolongnu pouted in grievance, and tears immediately streamed down her face...
Li Zhu inwardly screamed, "Is this child made of water? How can he start crying so easily?"
"Don't cry, I was just scared, that's why I said that."
Li Zhu immediately switched to child-rearing mode, but being a single guy, he didn't even know how to comfort women, let alone children...
"Brother Zhu bullied me, boohoo..."
When did I bully you?
Li Zhu said with a completely bewildered look!
Just then, Li Zhu sensed a murderous intent coming from behind him. He subconsciously turned around and saw Yingying and Qingqing standing at the door, their eyes filled with disbelief...
bass!
Wang Riqing drew his sword directly...
