Prince Zhao soon heard that Hua Manman had brought Lin Liangyuan back.
After Hua Manman settled Lin Qingzhi in, she picked up a food container and trotted off to find Prince Zhao.
The first thing Li Ji said was...
"Why did you bring Lin Liangyuan back?"
Since they were alone in the room, Hua Manman didn't have to hold back. She truthfully recounted what had happened when she ran into Lin Qingzhi in the kitchen.
At first, Li Ji just listened quietly, but his expression grew increasingly peculiar until he finally let out a laugh.
"Heh, you had someone send those two dishes to the Crown Prince. Weren't you afraid you'd make him so mad he'd lose his mind and rush over here to kill you on the spot?"
Hua Manman said bashfully.
"But I have you, my Prince. You're so powerful, you can certainly protect me, right?"
Li Ji casually retorted.
"And what if I say I can't?"
Hua Manman instantly went into full drama-queen mode, her eyes welling with tears.
