1721: The Princess's Decision

The Princess's Decision

Li Yan's expression changed. He naturally knew that the princess was referring to Xie Limo. 2

Li Yan couldn't comprehend what the princess was getting at, but he didn't dare to look her in the eye.

She was too beautiful, and he wasn't worthy of looking at her. Therefore, he merely stood straight and didn't answer.

Xiajun Yanwu looked at Li Yan's expression and giggled. "Li Yan, why don't you look at me?"

"Princess, you're too beautiful. I do not deserve a look at your beauty."

Xiajun Yanwu laughed shyly. "You don't have to feel that way. Look, isn't my photo published on the news too? Everyone can see me too."

"Nobody dares to openly take a photo of the princess. This photo has already been edited."

Xiajun Yanwu looked at how rigid Li Yan was and shook her head. "Li Yan, I think it's a good idea for me to show my face to the citizens too."

"But, Princess, the emperor does not want you to become a public figure. He's trying to protect you."

Xiajun Yanwu brushed her hair back and replied, "I know Daddy is worried about me, but Yanli and Elder Brother Yanting are already public figures. I can be one too."

In fact, Xiajun Yanwu had already made her stance known. She might perhaps join in the fight with her siblings for the crown in the near future.

Li Yan shuddered upon hearing the princess's words. He obviously had understood what she meant.

Even after staying by the princess's side for a few months, he still hadn't heard her say such things. Did she make this decision on impulse?

Li Yan had no idea what triggered the princess to make such a decision. This implied that she was intending to become the queen.

He didn't understand why an incredibly beautiful woman like the princess would choose this path.

Xiajun Yanwu seemed to have read her subordinate's mind. "Li Yan, it is only when you hold the greatest title and yield the most power that you can control everything."

Li Yan felt rather moved after hearing the princess's words. It meant that she trusted him greatly.

Immediately, he answered resolutely, "I swore to protect you with my life, Princess."

"You just need to carry out my orders well."

"Yes, Princess!"

"Send someone to check on Xie Limo's every move for the next few days."

Despite feeling surprised, Li Yan still followed through.

…

Ever since Xie Limo and Yun Bixue made up, the two of them seemed as though they were glued to each other. They were constantly by each other's side.

Xie Limo indulged in his wife ever so tenderly.

Even the servants felt sentimental seeing how lovingly the noble Young Master Xie treated Young Madam.

Similarly, they looked at the two of them with joy. With Young Master Xie in such a good mood, they didn't need to constantly be on their toes again.

Xie Limo stayed at home to keep Yun Bixue company for the next few days. He simply wanted to keep looking at her and being nice to her.

Every time Yun Bixue craved for something, he would personally prepare it in the kitchen. The look in his eyes was exceptionally indulgent.

Even Yun Bixue felt out of place. "Limo, you can work on your own matters. I can do everything on my own."

Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue, and his gaze was filled with love and self-reproach. "Xue, let me make up for the past few days."

After clearing his mind, he finally understood how wrong he had been.

Yun Bixue looked at Xie Limo and giggled softly. "Limo, are you only feeling better because your desires have been satisfied?"
