After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 138: Cooperation?

Blood slowly dripped down Xie Mingzhu's hand.

"Princess!" Lai Xiao's expression changed drastically.

Luo Hanfeng also shifted his gaze, his eyes falling on Xie Mingzhu's hand holding the sword.

He raised an eyebrow imperceptibly, somewhat surprised and puzzled.

Strangely, he couldn't understand why Xie Mingzhu would go to such lengths for him.

If his identity were discovered, he would definitely kill that person to prevent future trouble.

madness.

Luo Hanfeng scoffed inwardly.

Lai Xiao immediately stopped and tore off his robe to bandage Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, but she still insisted, "Don't kill him."

"If you acknowledge me as your princess, then obey my commands."

Lai Xiao gritted her teeth.

He glanced at Luo Hanfeng with resentment.

Luo Hanfeng met his gaze, raised his pale face, and smiled at him: "It's alright. If this young master doesn't believe me, he can kill me."

As if he already knew Xie Mingzhu would side with him, he closed his eyes and offered her slender, white neck.

Lai Xiao: "..."

He wished he could kill this man right now.

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and looked at Luo Hanfeng: "Seventh Prince, there's no need for this. I won't kill you."

"I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Oh?

is it?

Luo Hanfeng's gaze was somewhat meaningful; he had seen Xie Mingzhu's eyes filled with murderous intent when she looked at Xie Xing more than once.

But in his presence, she became someone who disliked bloodlust.

"Fourth Miss, I think we've grown a little closer. How about I call you Mingzhu and you call me Hanfeng?"

Luo Hanfeng looked at Xie Mingzhu tenderly.

Xie Mingzhu was slightly taken aback, then lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Okay, Brother Hanfeng."

Luo Hanfeng paused for a moment.

He turned to Lai Xiao, whose face was extremely sour, and said with a smile, "Young master, there's no need to be so hostile towards me."

"To my father, I am just an insignificant prince."

“I was born to a lowly palace maid and have lived in the cold palace since I was a child. I have no feelings for the emperor.”

Lai Xiao said coldly, "So what? The royal family is inherently indifferent to emotions. If you have no feelings for the emperor, do you have no feelings for the throne either?"

Lai Xiao sneered.

Luo Hanfeng lowered his eyes. "The throne? What can I possibly use to fight for it?"

"I'd rather take revenge than seize the throne."

Lai Xiao looked at Luo Hanfeng in surprise: "Revenge?"

"Yes, revenge."

"The emperor has ignored me for so long, leaving me to suffer the scorn of the world. How could I not hate him? How could I not resent him?"

“Mingzhu is the first person to be so kind to me. I am willing to do anything for Mingzhu.”

Xie Mingzhu raised her eyes and stared blankly at Luo Hanfeng.

Although Lai Xiao still harbored hostility towards Luo Hanfeng, she was beginning to believe his words.

“We can cooperate,” Luo Hanfeng said.

Lai Xiao sneered, "You want to cooperate with us? How ridiculous."

Luo Hanfeng replied, "People will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

……

the other side.

Xie Xing looked out the window for a while.

Upon noticing the ship approaching, she turned around and said to Junlan Jinxi, "The ship is here, we can leave now."

Jun Lanjin gave a lazy "hmm".

Seeing that he seemed listless, Xie Xing quickly went over and grabbed his hand. "Those people will be back soon. It's not good for us to hide here."

"Let's escape?"

Jun Lanjin let her take his hand, looking at her with a half-smile: "What, you've gotten quite bold now?"

When I saw her a while ago, she was like a squirrel that would get scared easily and never show its face.

Xie Xing blinked: "With the Prince here, what do I have to be afraid of?"

"I am still recovering from my serious injuries. I came here with you just now, but my internal injuries flared up. At this moment, I am too weak to take care of myself and cannot escape."

Xie Xing never expected to hear such a thing.

She paused for a moment, then instinctively asked, "Really?"

Jun Lanjin said, "Otherwise, why do you think I wouldn't run away, but instead stay here and listen to this live sex show with you?"

Xie Xing: "..."

She thought this person looked unfathomable and calculating, and assumed it was to make things easier.

I never imagined that lying under the bed would actually make it impossible to move?

Xie Xing looked at him with even more suspicion.

She moved closer to Jun Lanjin, then reached out towards his face, but before she could touch him, he blocked her hand.

"what are you doing?"

Xie Xing blinked and said, "Let me see if Your Highness is really so weak and unable to take care of yourself."

"Huh?" Jun Lanjin didn't understand her thought process.

He was sitting, while Xie Xing was standing.

Therefore, when Jun Lanjin looked at her, her head was tilted slightly up, and then someone flicked her forehead.

Jun Lanjin: "..."

Xie Xing quickly withdrew his other hand, put both hands behind his back, and kept a relatively far distance from Jun Lanjin.

She smiled at Jun Lanjin and said, "If Your Highness is really too weak to take care of yourself, then I will also receive a little bit of compensation for taking care of you."

She made a tiny gesture with her index finger and thumb.

Junlan Jin laughed in exasperation.

He covered his forehead with one hand, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "According to you, does that mean I should charge more for saving you earlier?"

"No, no." Xie Xing put one hand behind his back and raised one index finger with the other, waving it left and right twice, and said, "Those assassins were after the prince."

"I was implicated."

Jun Lanjin ignored her.

His mind is full of strange and bizarre ideas, and a whole bunch of fallacies.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xie Xing thought he was angry, panicked for a moment, and walked up to him again, tentatively asking, "Your Highness, you're not angry, are you?"

Please don't lower my affection level.

Jun Lanjin chuckled.

Seeing that he was listless and wouldn't say anything, Xie Xing was about to say something to coax him when he heard the noise outside.

Footsteps started.

The hurried, light footsteps clearly indicated that they weren't people trying to escape from inside.

Xie Xing then turned and grabbed Jun Lanjin's hand.

His hand, as smooth as ice and jade, was held in his, making Xie Xing's hand tremble from the cold.

She looked at Jun Lanjin in surprise.

He wasn't joking after all.

My whole body felt so cold, just like that severe icy palm strike I received last time.

Xie Xing was puzzled again.

why?

Didn't the Divine Healer Valley clearly cure him last time?

The footsteps stopped at the door.

Just as the door was about to be kicked open, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar to Xie Xing came from outside: "Brother, the door to the next room is open. Something seems off. Shall we go check it out?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment.

Xie Yuze had already looked in that direction.

Upon seeing this, he immediately walked towards that door.

Xie Xing thought for a moment, then picked up a quilt from the bed and put it on Jun Lanjin.

In an instant, an indescribable smell filled Jun Lanjin's nose.

Jun Lanjin's face turned completely dark.

He gritted his teeth: "Xie Xing, what kind of blanket are you going to give me? I don't want this!!"
