Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 404: Star Gold Framed and Imprisoned (52)

When he saw one of them, the prince's breathing seemed to tremble a little more.

Familiar clothes, unfamiliar faces.

It was definitely Xing Lu.

Zong Yu sighed in his heart.

He knew she wouldn't listen to him.

Fortunately, the royal guards arranged today are all his people.

Xing Lu saw Zong Yu's gaze pass over her. Although he didn't stop, Xing Lu still felt that maybe Zong Yu recognized her.

So her gaze at Zong Yu became more and more naked.

This is the only person who can look at him so blatantly.

Zong Yu gave him a warning look.

Sure enough, I recognized her.

Xing Lu smiled slightly.

She noticed that Zong Yu was wearing matte black leather gloves on both hands, a badge ring on his left hand, and an obsidian ring on his right thumb.

Her eyes fell on his uniformed form again.

Needless to say.

The prince was the most attractive man she had ever seen in uniform.

The neatly-fitted uniforms act like a restraint on reason, allowing one to glimpse the contrast of rebellion hidden within.

Xing Lu's gaze was too conspicuous. Even though Zong Yu tried to ignore it, it ignited his body like a match.

Xing Lu noticed that his red ears were hidden under his crow-feather black hair.

At this time, another person walked in through the small door.

Xing Lu looked closely and found that it was Zong Ming.

As a prince, Zong Ming was not prohibited from walking through the royal passage, but Zong Ming actually walked to the other side of the emperor and stood opposite the prince.

It feels like being on equal footing with the prince.

It is obvious that Zong Ming did this at the emperor's instruction.

Some of the people below seemed a little surprised.

Everyone knows that the emperor doesn't like the crown prince.

Although Zong Yu's position in the empire is now unshakable, the emperor's displeasure and Zong Ming's provocation are always deep-buried mines.

Zong Yu's eyes darkened, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

...

Xing Lu listened to the political reports in the audience hall for the whole morning and roughly understood how many camps there were in the imperial court.

So far, the camp supporting the emperor is obviously much larger.

Since the incident with the traitor, the prince has been much more low-key. The emperor could not find any other faults in him, so he could only put pressure on the prince by targeting Xing Lu in the case of the Xing family's massacre.

Even Xing Lu could feel the dire situation Zong Yu was in.

After the meeting, the emperor left first. Zong Ming said hello to the prince and followed the emperor out.

While the prince was dealing with the ministers who came to talk to him, he was scanning the crowd for Xing Lu.

I saw her hiding in the corner just before it ended, and then she disappeared in an instant.

Zong Yu was afraid that Xing Lu would run into the patrol team, so he gave his adjutant a look. The adjutant understood and quickly came over to help the prince escape.

I looked around but couldn't find Xing Lu.

Could it be that he has returned to the Prince's Mansion?

Zong Yu returned to the Prince's Mansion, his steps seeming somewhat anxious.

He walked through the corridor and stopped at the door of the bedroom. Just as he was about to push the door open, the door suddenly opened a crack, and a hand grabbed Zong Yu's collar and pulled him in with force.

The door slammed shut, locking the adjutant behind him outside.

The adjutant who was almost pinched on the nose: "......"

...

In the dim room, Zong Yu smelled a familiar scent and finally felt relieved.

He frowned and said, "You are really brave."

Xing Lu pretended to be dumb: "What did you say? I don't understand."

Zong Yu put his arm around Xing Lu's waist and pulled her forward.

"Don't play dumb, I know it's you."

"Why are you still using the mask that Ryder gave you?" Zong Yu's face turned grim. "This kind of item is forbidden on the main planet. Throw it away."

Xing Lucai ignored his ambiguous order.

"Your Highness, are you wearing this uniform just for me to see?"

Her hand touched the cosmic mineral on her collar, and then moved along the silver thread.

Zong Yu's face flushed: "I must wear this on audience day."

Xing Lu snorted coldly, "You did it on purpose. In fact, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there was an audience day today. You just wanted me to go to the audience hall to see how majestic you look in uniform."

"Your Highness, your little trick to seduce me is really not very sophisticated."

“But it worked.”

Xing Lu smiled brilliantly, and like magic, she took out a white rose from behind her back and handed it to Zong Yu.

"Well, flowers are given to beautiful women."

Zong Yu looked at the white rose in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

The roses are still blooming vigorously, with full and thick petals, without any signs of withering.

"Where did this flower come from?"

Of course Xing Lu wouldn't say that someone dropped it on the ground and she picked it up.

So he made up a lie: "I picked it from the garden."

White roses do bloom in the palace all year round.

Zong Yu pursed his lips and said, "It is forbidden to pick flowers from the palace without permission."

Xing Lu frowned, unhappy: "Why do you keep saying rules? The palace is your home, so what if I picked your flowers?!"

Zong Yu: “…”

Who would pick flowers from someone else's house and give them to others?

He raised the corners of his lips helplessly: "If you are discovered by the patrolling robots, you will be punished."

Xing Lu didn't care. She picked it up anyway: "Do you want it?"

"......want."

Zong Yu looked at Xing Lu, the white rose reflecting her small face.

Zong Yu didn't know whether Xing Lu knew about it.

On the main planet, regardless of gender, giving a white rose to someone means proposing marriage, representing the holy love of loving only one person.

Zong Yu just assumed she knew.

So he reached out and took the rose.

Seeing that he accepted it, Xing Lu curled her lips, put her arms around his waist, and felt the fine texture of the fabric with her fingers.

"What about my return gift?"

Zong Yu: “…”

No one asked for a return gift.

Zong Yu said, "Sorry, I don't have anything prepared. What would you like?"

Xing Lu smiled and said, "Don't you always know what I like?"

Zong Yu's face suddenly became hot.

"...It's daytime now."

"What happened during the day?"

"Is there a rule against sleeping during the day?"

Zong Yu was silent for a moment: "...You treat them like this too?"

Xing Lu was speechless: "Stop saying such depressing things!"

She pushed Zong Yu onto the bed and unbuttoned her collar.

Zong Yu raised his hand to untie his own, but Xing Lu hit him: "No! That's it."

Zong Yu: “?”

In the dim room, only a ray of sunlight penetrated the thick glass and fell onto the bed covered with heavy curtains, onto the white blocks of color, and into the pupils as bright as purple nebulae.

The kiss came as promised.

As their breaths intertwined, Zong Yu allowed himself to be paralyzed by the other's scent and indulged himself in it. All that troubled him was thrown aside, and only Xing Lu remained in front of him.

Amidst the dizziness, someone uttered a subtle plea.

"Can you...stay by my side forever?"
