The Crown Prince Has an Immortal Maiden Deliver Medicine to Her

Meng Anli asked, "Uncle Lu, what was the reason for the dismissal in the decree?"

"It seems to be improper conduct."

Meng Anli understood. It was likely referring to bribing the teacher.

His Majesty might not care if she was beaten.

But bribery, he couldn't tolerate it; he couldn't encourage such a bad trend.

Meng Anli felt relieved, and the slight pain in her chest disappeared.

"There's another piece of good news," Lu Zhiyuan said mysteriously. "The Crown Prince said he wants to share hardships with you and find a way to form an inner core. He's not breaking off the engagement."

Meng Anli's good mood vanished instantly. Her face turned pale as she went to get her calming medicine.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yao quickly said to Lu Zhiyuan, "Dad, let's not talk about it for now."

She put away her communication mirror, handed the pill and water to Meng Anli, and cursed the Crown Prince.

"Damn him, he really knows how to put on an act."

Meng Anli had just put the pill in her mouth when she heard Lu Yao's words. Crunch, she bit the pill, and the bitterness made her small face wrinkle.

She gulped down a large mouthful of water. "How did you know he was faking it?"

She thought Ah Yao was carefree and didn't understand these things.

Lu Yao gently patted her back. "If he truly wanted to share hardships, why hasn't he come to see you after being back for so long? And he doesn't even know you've obtained the Huan Dan Grass?"

Meng Anli pouted. "He doesn't even know I went to Beiming."

"Now everyone is on your side. Meng Liangmiao is mired in scandal. He's afraid of implicating himself, so he's putting on this act of deep affection to deceive everyone."

Lu Yao looked disgusted. "When you're better, we'll go and break off the engagement with this rotten persimmon."

Meng Anli cradled the porcelain tea cup and shook her head. "Not yet. Right now, we can only barely deal with the Meng family. If we anger him, and he joins forces with the Meng family, the entire Niuyang Mountain will be implicated because of me."

Lu Yao paced the room angrily for several laps.

"It's utterly disgusting!"

Meng Anli pulled her to sit beside her. "It's okay, we'll take it slowly."

After all, her entire life was dedicated to revenge.

As soon as Shaoguang returned to his residence, his expression turned grim.

The useless Meng Liangmiao forced him to act affectionate in front of everyone.

A beautiful immortal maiden approached him. Dressed in a thin veil, she clung to Shaoguang's arm as if she had no bones.

"Crown Prince, are you unhappy?"

Shaoguang felt the softness on his arm, and his expression softened slightly. He turned and pinched her.

This caused the immortal maiden to let out a soft moan, "Crown Prince~"

The Crown Prince laughed heartily, put his arm around her waist, and sat on a small table, playing with her delicate, boneless hand.

"If Meng Anli had half of Yin Yin's charm, I wouldn't be so troubled."

Liuyin leaned softly into his embrace. "It's just a difference in personality. If everyone were like Yin Yin, how could the Crown Prince have eyes for Yin Yin?"

The Crown Prince tapped her nose. "With that little mouth of yours, you'll always have a place by my side."

Liuyin shyly clung to his neck and nuzzled him.

The Crown Prince's breathing grew heavy. He reached into her collar, gave her a squeeze, and then breathed into her ear.

"Go do something for me first."

Liuyin said softly, "Please instruct me, Crown Prince."

"Go to the storeroom and get some medicine to give to Meng Anli."

Liuyin was a little surprised. "I should go?"

"I don't want to see her. I'm afraid she'll pester me again to send her back. It's annoying."

The Crown Prince frowned, his expression arrogant. "Take the medicine there and say it's my intention. That should be enough to make her eternally grateful."

"Your servant obeys,"

Liuyin rested her hand on his shoulder and sighed wistfully. "She's disliked me for a long time. I don't know if I'll be punished if I go now."

The Crown Prince's eyes widened in anger. "You are my servant. How dare she make things difficult for you?"

Seeing the beauty's brow filled with worry, he pinched her waist and coaxed her. "I know you've been wronged. When you return, I'll reward you handsomely."

Liuyin's cheeks quickly flushed a light red, her eyes misty. "Thank you, Your Highness~"

The Crown Prince's Adam's apple bobbed. "Little vixen, I really want to do you right now."

Liuyin giggled and retreated.
