I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Chapter 108 It’s all a show

Zhao Yuan had no idea what Lin Yan was thinking and just started playing with Lin Yan's feet. Lin Yan was not to be outdone. They stepped on each other and a basin of water ended up spilling.

"See, it's your fault for not washing it properly, so the water spilled!" Zhao Yuan turned the tables and said.

Lin Yan pouted and retorted: "Your Majesty, it was you who teased me first."

Zhao Yuan said innocently, "Impossible."

Lin Yan was like an irritated little tiger, and said angrily: "You are cheating."

Zhao Yuan smiled slyly: "Then let's sort it out again, and we will know who spilled the foot washing water."

Lin Yan said unconvincedly: "Re-comb it, then re-comb it! I wanted to leave first, and you grabbed me first."

Zhao Yuan nodded generously and admitted: "That's right!"

After saying that, he suddenly picked up Lin Yan and gently placed her on the bed. Then, he smiled wickedly and said seriously, "Then I will help you take off your shoes!" However, there were no shoes to take off at this time, so he directly took off Lin Yan's clothes.

Lin Yan noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled at her clothes, saying coquettishly, "It's not like that."

Zhao Yuan was not willing to give in, pretending to be wronged and said: "I don't have shoes, you have to let me take off something!" As he spoke, he took off Lin Yan's bun, and her long black hair fell down like a waterfall...

A night of spring.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the bed. Lin Yan felt a chill and slowly opened her eyes. She subconsciously reached to her side, only to find that the bed was empty. Zhao Yuan, who had been lying there, had long since disappeared.

The sick Zhao Yuan actually got up earlier than her, got up early and started morning exercises. Green Tea carefully helped Lin Yan get up, and then took her to the corridor.

Lin Yan stood quietly by the corridor, her eyes involuntarily attracted by Zhao Yuan who was practicing Qinggong in the Crescent Moon Courtyard in the distance. Zhao Yuan was agile, flying between the branches as lightly as a swallow, and every jump was full of strength and agility, which made people unable to help but fall in love with him.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Lin Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Although Zhao Yuan once frightened her, when she thought about it carefully, he had never really hurt her. Now he no longer forced her, and even in the matter of going to bed, he only treated her in a seductive way.

If she was willing to try, she might be able to establish a harmonious relationship with Zhao Yuan.

But...what if it fails? Zhao Yuan, this old man, has the arrogance and self-conceit of a man in a high position. It is easy to like someone for a while, but it is difficult to like him for a lifetime.

Zhao Yuan's attraction to her was just temporary... Was he still worth her efforts?

However, just as Lin Yan was immersed in her beautiful fantasy, Zhao Yuan suddenly appeared in front of her with a sly smile on his face, and teased: "What? Are you bewitched by me?"

Lin Yan came back to her senses instantly from her fantasy, her cheeks slightly red, and she lowered her head, secretly regretting that she had been staring at Zhao Yuan so intently just now.

The shy look made Zhao Yuan feel strange. He thought Lin Yan would shyly run away like before, but he didn't expect that she would dare to look up and look at him this time.

Without waiting for Lin Yan's answer, Zhao Yuan held Lin Yan's cool hand, and couldn't help but feel pity for her. He stepped forward and hugged her in his arms. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?" Zhao Yuan lowered his head and asked softly, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Lin Yan slowly came back to her senses, looked up at Zhao Yuan, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a simple smile: "Nothing."

Zhao Yuan stared into her eyes, as if trying to see through her true thoughts through those bright eyes, but in the end he nodded and said gently: "That's good."

However, when he noticed the thin clothes on Lin Yan, his face instantly darkened. He frowned and scolded unhappily: "Why are you wearing so thin clothes? What if you catch a cold?" After that, he turned his head and glared at the maids beside him, shouting angrily: "You bunch of slaves, you can't even take care of your master, what are you doing? Sell them all!"

Green Tea at the side was so frightened that she trembled all over, while the other maids stood there trembling, not daring to breathe.

Seeing this, Lin Yan hurriedly explained, "Don't blame them. It was my own negligence. The prince's martial arts are truly amazing. I was so fascinated by him that I even forgot the cold weather."

After hearing what she said, the anger on Zhao Yuan's face gradually dissipated, replaced by helplessness and pampering. He sighed softly and said softly: "Forget it, remember to wear more clothes next time." Then, he took Lin Yan's hand, felt her cold fingertips, and said distressedly: "It's cold, hurry into the house."

Lin Yan nodded obediently and let Zhao Yuan pull her into the house. Although this man sometimes had a bad temper, he was truly concerned and caring for her.

"My Lord, I remember all your kindness to me. But I am afraid that this is just a temporary novelty, and I am afraid that one day I will lose this favor..."

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly after hearing this, and held Lin Yan's cheeks with both hands. His eyes were full of sincerity and affection. He said solemnly: "This king is sincere to you, and it is not just a whim. As long as you are willing, this king will always be by your side."

Hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh, with a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes, but she still shook her head and said softly: "What a pity!"

Zhao Yuan frowned and asked in confusion, "What a pity?"

Lin Yan sighed slightly and replied helplessly: "I am just one of the prince's many wives and concubines. The prince has many other wives and concubines, and there are too many people who need the prince to love. And I am just a passer-by in the prince's life. The prince has more responsibilities and obligations to bear, and there are too many people who need the prince to protect. I understand the prince's kindness to me, but I know that all this will not last long, because beauty fades, love fades, and it is just a flash in the pan."

Zhao Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed Lin Yan's hand and said firmly: "My love for you is unique and has nothing to do with others. I only care about you, and I don't care about other women."

Lin Yan gently broke free from Zhao Yuan's hand, smiled and shook her head, and said gently: "Prince, please don't comfort me. I know my status and position, and I understand your feelings for me. But I hope to see your happiness and not be bound by me."

Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Yan's gentle yet determined eyes, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He held Lin Yan's hand tightly, hugged her tightly, and whispered: "I know, I will try my best to make you feel real happiness, and I will prove it to you with my actions."

"Why must the prince waste his time on me?" Lin Yan's voice was as melodious and pleasant as the sound of a yellow oriole. However, all this was just a means for her to confuse the prince.

She was well aware of her position in the palace. Rather than being favored, she was more like a target, a target coveted by many wives and concubines.

Although he said he doted on him, he got his hands burned like buns when he drank tea on the first day he came in, and he didn't say a word. Afterwards, Zhuge Liang gave him a bottle of medicine, but it was of no use.

"Don't say this kind of thing again, let's eat first!" Zhao Yuan said domineeringly.
