Chapter 3

As soon as Liu Shimei mentioned entering the palace to meet the Emperor, Huangfu Lingyao’s face immediately brightened up. He stared at her with bright eyes. “Sister Fairy, you want to see my Imperial Father? I’ll take you there!”

The Grand Chancellor frowned. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone was silent.

“Is it alright to enter the palace at this hour?” Liu Shimei looked at the Second Fool. Originally, she was very angry at this man who had taken her innocence while ruthlessly leaving so many marks on her body. She wanted to beat him up.

However…

Facing such a pair of innocent eyes, she could not lose her temper no matter what.

He was also a victim!

How could Liu Yan’er allow her to find an opportunity to escape? She immediately said, “The palace gate has been locked, and the Emperor may not be willing to see Eldest Sister…”

Before she could finish, Huangfu Lingyao interrupted, “It doesn’t matter! I can bring Sister Fairy into the palace!”

He then lowered his head and looked at Liu Shimei with a fawning smile on his face, “Sister Fairy, come into the palace with me, I’ll take you to play! There’s a big cat in the Imperial Garden that loves to play with me. How about I take you there?”

His face was full of confusion, and his smile was innocent and pure.

“Alright,” Liu Shimei said. Her lips twitched slightly. Naturally, she would not let go of this opportunity!

If the Grand Chancellor could save some face, he would have no objections.

Liu Shimei glanced at her father, her eyes cold.

The Liu family’s eldest daughter had always had a good reputation, and the Crown Prince liked her. As long as she could successfully become the Crown Prince’s consort, she would be able to bring endless benefits to the Liu family!

The Crown Prince would be choosing his consort tomorrow, and Liu Shimei had a 99 percent chance of being elected. Seeing that she was about to succeed, she actually did such a thing. It would be strange if the Grand Chancellor let her off so easily!

Huangfu Lingyao did not think so much. He pulled Liu Shimei’s hand and walked out, waving his hand and shouting, “All of you, get out of the way! I’m going to bring Sister Fairy back to the palace to see Imperial Father, don’t block my way!”

He did not have the air of a Prince, so the crowd did not give him any face. They kept discussing.

“This King Dun Yu is really a fool! Who in the Capital City doesn’t say that the Eldest Miss Liu is the most exquisite flower? I didn’t expect that the Silly Second Prince would be the first to pick that flower!”

“If you ask me, Eldest Young Miss Liu seduced King Dun Yu. She’s going to the palace to get herself killed!”

“I don’t think so. A lecherous child and a fool… They’re a match made in heaven!”

Not only did these people ridicule him verbally, but when Huangfu Lingyao pulled Liu Shimei out of the threshold, someone suddenly stretched out a foot. Huangfu Lingyao was completely caught off guard and tripped over it, falling forward!

No one knew if did not know if it was intentional or not, but the Second Fool suddenly let go before he fell. This way, Liu Shimei would not fall with him!

Although it was a little strange, Liu Shimei did not think too much about it. She subconsciously wanted to pull him back, but it was too late!

The tall and silly Prince fell flat on his face and actually sat on the ground, kicking his legs and crying. “You guys are bullies! I’m going to tell Father that you’re all bullying me… It hurts…”

Liu Shimei’s lips twitched violently.

It was understandable why he had so many wounds on his body. Even commoners dared to bully him. It seemed that he had been played by many people!

This guy really had the intelligence of a five-year-old!

However, Liu Shimei came from an era where good-looking people were adored. Seeing this guy’s appearance, her heart collapsed and soften into a mess.

She reached out to pull him up, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said softly, “It’s alright, it’s alright, don’t cry. Ah…”

She spoke in a tone that was used to coax a child.

The tall man shrunk his neck and looked at her with tears in his eyes. “Sister Fairy, you’re the best!”

What an adorable face! He’s like a puppy! I’ll just call him Puppyface!

The current situation was not very optimistic, but an untimely smile appeared in Liu Shimei’s eyes. She raised her arm and touched his head. “Come, bring Big Sister into the palace. After this matter is settled, Big Sister will protect you in the future!”

“Really?” The Silly Second Prince’s pure eyes were immediately filled with joy. He immediately pulled her hand and walked forward, mumbling, “Sister Fairy, will you use magic to protect me in the future? That’s great!”

No one paid attention to his crazy words. He kept on saying, “Sister, you’re good to me. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me and I’ll beat them up for you!”

Liu Shimei sighed in her heart.

A five-year-old’s world was simple. If you were good to me, I would be good to you.

Well, in this era, she had to rely on his identity to protect herself. Their fates were bound together. As long as she overcame this obstacle tonight, she would protect him in the future!

Huangfu Lingyao was walking in front of her. As she was pulled out of the dark alley, she did not notice that he had lowered his long and dense eyelashes. There was a flash of darkness in his eyes, but in the next moment, they became pure and clear, with 70 percent stupidity and 30 percent joy.

He pinched her wrist and his thumb gently stroked the smooth skin on the inner side of her wrist.

As for Liu Shimei, she clenched the thing in her palm and walked forward, thinking about her next move. She did not realize that this little action of his was not like what a little boy would do to his sister, but some kind of hint that an adult man would give to a woman!
