I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 47 Still Your Favorite Queen

In retrospect, it seems that the Demon Lord's actions were unnecessary.

"It's Her Highness the Princess. I'll keep an eye on it."

"Most of the Black Deer Guards have already slipped out of our control. It seems that the Gongshu clan may have ulterior motives." He then added.

"So far, half of the Silver Deer Guards are under martial law in Taiyuan City, and an elite force has been secretly sent to protect the Emperor."

"This doesn't need the princess to remind me; it's simply the duty of the Silver Deer Guards."

He clasped his hands together and glanced at He Yuhuan again.

He Yuhuan grew somewhat impatient as his gaze swept back and forth across her.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Believe me or not, I'll eat your brains!" He bared a row of sharp teeth and clenched his teeth together.

“Princess, the He family has always been a neutral force, and this young lady is by your side…”

"Does this mean the He family is on our side?"

"I only stand with my master. Who do you all think you are!"

He Yuhuan's green eyes flashed with a fierce light, and her fingernails tapped the stool with a cracking sound.

"She's just a friend, she doesn't represent any power, so Captain, don't involve her in your schemes."

She even gave He Yuhuan a somewhat indulgent look, even though she was over five thousand years old.

But his mind is like that of a child, a rare and innocent charm.

“Yes, Princess.” He went out.

Zhongli Quanhuang was pale, clutching his forehead and coughing violently.

Those around them were heartbroken; the first two seemed perfectly fine.

Now my health has deteriorated so much.

Zhongli Quanhuang was in pain, but he always believed that Yin Manling would not kill him.

Unexpectedly, they still ended up taking action against him.

He coughed twice more, his hands trembling as he picked up the cup.

The Silver Ferocious Guard Captain returned from outside, looked at him with concern, and exclaimed, "Demon Lord!"

Zhongli Quanhuang waved his hand: "It's alright."

"The princess said that the queen might take action against you during the lantern festival."

"Really? It's come to this after all. I've been turning a blind eye to some things. If anything happens to me, I'm entrusting Yueluo to you."

"Demon Lord!"

The two looked at each other; after all, they had been playmates since they were young lords.

Sometimes, a single glance is enough to know what the other person is thinking, without needing to say a word.

He also knew that the Demon Lord's cultivation had stagnated for thousands of years.

Looking back now, it seems he was probably persecuted by the Queen.

"Demon Lord, I'm going to make the arrangements."

He coughed violently a few more times, wiped his lips, which were wet and crimson. He felt heartache and coldness.

Just then, Yin Manling and her maidservant walked gracefully towards him, carrying a bowl of medicine with each step, their fragrance lingering with their presence.

She exuded a pinkish-purple aura: "Demon Lord, it's time to take your medicine. Look how hard you've been working these past few days; it breaks my heart."

He took the medicine bowl very gently, and even scooped some up with a spoon and blew on it.

She gave a very gentle smile: "Come on, drink your medicine."

Zhongli Quanhuang pushed her wrist, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions: "Let it go."

He took her hand and patted the back of it.

"Manling, what kind of husband do you think Yu'er should find for him?"

"I heard he seems to be getting close to the young master of the Gongshu family, right? Does she also like Gongshu Liang?"

Yin Manling knew that Zhongli Quanhuang had never liked the Gongshu family.

Asking that question was definitely a test; she gently squeezed the base of his thumb.

"Luo just finished choosing a husband this month, and Yu'er isn't in a hurry. She wants to stay by your side and spend more time with you."

“If she likes it, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for me to arrange a marriage between her and Gongshu Liang.”

"How could that girl possibly like the young master of the Gongshu clan? It's just a way to win over the clan. There's no way she could like him."

Zhongli Quanhuang remained silent, and did not touch the medicine.

Yin Manling narrowed her fox-like eyes and frowned slightly: "Demon Lord, it will get cold if you don't drink it soon."

His pale lips curled up slightly, as if he couldn't wait to make his move.

He pushed the medicine bowl aside: "I'm fine. You don't need to bring me medicine anymore, so you won't have to go through all that trouble."

"These are all my duties, so how could I find them tiring? What's wrong with the Demon Lord today? He seems very unhappy."

How can one be happy to learn that the person they have doted on for a thousand years harbors murderous intentions towards them?

Now he couldn't help but suspect that Yue Luo's biological mother's death was also suspicious.

However, no clues were discovered at the time.

His eyes suddenly turned icy as he stared at Yin Manling: "I said I won't drink!"

Seeing his eyes suddenly turn icy, she trembled all over.

I haven't seen him look at anyone with such a cold gaze in a long time.

That shouldn't be the case. The incense has been burning continuously. Logically speaking, he should have already been bewitched by her.

"If you don't want to drink, then don't. You're acting like a little kid, throwing a tantrum. I don't even know what to say to you. Are you still the same age as Yue Luo and Yu'er?"

Their eyes were intimate as they put the medicine bowl aside; it looked like a normal flirtatious exchange.

But in the blink of an eye, when Zhongli Quanhuang could no longer see her expression, he revealed a fierce glint in his eyes and glared at her maid.

She stood up again and patted his shoulder, and Zhongli Quanhuang grabbed her hand.

He looked up at her and said, "Manling, you are still my most beloved queen, aren't you!"

She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled brightly: "Of course, I have always been your favorite queen."

In that one glance they exchanged, they knew they could never go back to the way things were.

Yin Manling withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly and gave an embarrassed laugh: "The Demon Lord has official business to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

He quickly retreated, then sneered, clutching his chest and coughing.

Fortunately, he had transferred all military power to Zhongli Yueluo before this.

As she walked away, the gentle smile on her face gradually turned to ice, as if it could drip water.

The maid beside her didn't dare say a word. She thought, "You won't drink the medicine? I have other ways to deal with that."

He waved a Fox Shadow Guard out and whispered in his ear.

The Fox Shadow Guards, once again hidden in the shadows, appeared at Yuanyue Pavilion.

As Tao Xia stood there, she felt someone pat her on the shoulder.

She turned around, but saw no one, only a food box with a note on it.

Pick up the note and read that it says to send this pastry to Zhongli Quanhuang and say that it was sent by Zhongli Yueluo.

Taoxia hesitated for a moment, but this must be the arrangement from the eldest princess's side.

She told Wu Luo what was going on, then picked up the food box and headed towards Taiyuan Palace.

But when she went there, she didn't even get to see Zhongli Quanhuang.

The pastries she was carrying were also taken away by the Silver Deer Guards, so now even if Zhongli Yueluo had carried the pastries herself, they were gone.

They all wanted to take her away and examine her, let alone her maid.

In the end, the pastry inexplicably appeared on Zhongli Quanhuang's desk.

He picked it up and ate a piece, and nothing seemed amiss.

As darkness fell, Zhongli Yueluo's headache returned.

Yesterday, I could use being drunk as an excuse to avoid going to anyone's house, but what about today?
