Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Lu Zhanxing wanted to raise Ling'er into a good daughter who would dote on her father.

After all, I have never forgotten my desire to lie down.

If she brings up her daughter, she will be able to relax completely in the future. She can just go to her good daughter for help when she has problems.

The group of six arrived at the Imperial City of Dayan and found the best inn to stay in.

Then Lu Zhanxing carried Ling'er for a stroll on the street. If he saw something interesting, he and his daughter would stop to play. If there was something delicious, they would go in to eat. He was just like a child king taking a child around to play.

Mu Qingli, his master and servant, and Bai Jing followed behind and watched them play.

At this moment, Mu Qingli felt that it would be great if such a wonderful time could continue like this forever.

But he knew that all this was impossible. This short period of time was already very rare, so he just had to cherish it.

At night, Ling'er was tired from playing and let Mu Qingli hold her. Lu Zhanxing looked at Ling'er with envy. She also wanted someone to carry her back home!

Glancing at Bai Jing, Bai Jing tilted his head in confusion and subconsciously said, "Are you tired, Master? Should I carry you on my back?"

"Go aside!"

I didn't faint, and the two of them looking neither male nor female would give me a bad image!

After returning to the inn, Lu Zhanxing asked for a bucket of hot water and asked Bai Jing to eat and rest first. Then he got into the bathtub to soak in order to relieve the fatigue from today's outing.

I fell asleep while soaking in the water. It was so comfortable.

Mu Qingli knocked on the door several times but received no response. She felt a little worried and pushed the door open.

Then I saw Lu Zhanxing taking a bath in the bathtub behind the screen. He was probably asleep, so he didn't respond.

Although it's okay to soak for a longer time in hot weather, it's easy to catch a cold if the water is cold.

Thinking of this, he slowly walked into the bathtub and saw her two snow-white hands resting on the edge of the bathtub, with her long hair hanging outside the bathtub. Her arms were so slender, her skin was so white, and the water droplets on her body were crystal clear...

"Ah Xing? Ah Xing?"

Lu Zhanxing heard someone calling him in a daze, so he slowly opened his eyes and turned around. Mu Qingli was standing two steps away from him. She was so scared that she shrank into the water, draping the white towel in front of herself, leaving only her head exposed.

If he took two steps forward, he would be completely exposed.

"go out!!"

Hearing the irritation in her voice, I was so tired that I forgot to lock the door.

Mu Qingli knew that she was being reckless, so she retreated behind the screen and said, "Don't soak in the water for too long, you may catch a cold easily."

"Got it, get out!!!"

Mu Qingli was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out.

He was a little confused. They were all men, so what was there to be taboo about?

Only after Mu Qingli left did Lu Zhanxing breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, I also felt a little annoyed that I was too greedy for the comfort in the water and almost exposed myself.

In the past, she impulsively wanted to tell Mu Qingli the truth, but Mu Qingli chose to refuse, so why should she put herself at risk of being exposed?

Now I just want to hide it for one day at a time. I can only feel more comfortable facing him as a man.

I don't want others to think that I am weak and need protection after my female identity is exposed, especially now that my brother is the emperor. Wouldn't this be considered deceiving the emperor?

I don’t know whether my brother can accept the fact that I am a girl.

After all, men are naturally inferior to women.

If Mu Qingli knew that I was a girl, I couldn't guarantee that she would change her attitude towards me.

Will I be able to hide my identity as a daughter at that time?

Can my brother accept a woman being in charge of the Heavenly Punishment Department?

The reason why a secret is a secret is that it cannot be known to others.

Otherwise it would no longer be a secret.

We’ll talk about when to expose my female body later!

The status of women has not yet been raised, so we need to wait a little longer.

"call!"

After figuring it out, Lu Zhanxing let out a breath, stood up and returned to the space, changing his clothes before coming out.

Seeing Mu Qingli standing at the door, Lu Zhanxing glared at him.

"Ah Xing, don't be angry, I didn't mean it."

"You did it on purpose. Why are you calling me?" Lu Zhanxing rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Mu Qingli just felt that Ah Xing was getting more and more angry. Even if he had feelings for her, he would not forcefully peek at her bathing. He only went over to remind her out of concern.

We are all men, it won’t hurt to take a look, right?

"The food is ready. Do you want to go over and eat it, or have someone send it back to your room?"

"Where's Ling'er?"

"She's still sleeping. I've asked Huaguo and the others to heat up the food so she can eat it when she wakes up."

"Oh, then ask someone to bring the food over!" Lu Zhanxing slammed the door again.

Mu Qingli was left standing outside the door with a helpless look on her face. She shook her head and chuckled. It turned out that Ah Xing, who was brought up in pampering, always acted so recklessly.

Forget it, it was me who rejected her. Now that I want to stay with her, I can only let her do whatever she wants.

Soon, Huaguo brought the food. After Lu Zhanxing ate some, he sneaked into the space, changed into night clothes and left.

Their inn was only two streets away from the Third Prince's Palace, so they headed there with familiarity.

I heard that now that the Crown Prince of Dayan has ascended the throne, the third prince has become the third prince without even a title. Although it's a bit pitiful, it's better than losing his life.

At this time, in an attic, Yan Xiao was drinking to drown his sorrows in the pavilion of the attic. He had an unshaven beard and was leaning decadently on a railing chair with one leg propped up. He was drunk.

There wasn't a trace of the arrogance and planning that they had when they first met.

"Oh, are you drinking to drown your sorrows?"

Lu Zhan walked up to the attic and took off the black veil on her face, revealing her handsome face.

Yan Xiao was stunned, then shook his head and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was drunk and hallucinating, how could he see Lu Zhanxing?

He laughed at himself and continued drinking.

It wasn't until Lu Zhanxing sat in front of him and snatched the bottle of wine from his hand that he reacted and sobered up a little: "You...you are Lu Zhanxing?"

"it's me!"

Only then did Yan Xiao become certain that what he had just seen was not an illusion, but that Lu Zhanxing really had come.

"how did you do that?"

The secret guards and military forces he cultivated were uprooted after his brother ascended the throne. Now the only ones he can mobilize are the spies in Qi State. However, the emperor is far away and he is imprisoned. He is surrounded by guards outside, so it is not easy to pass on the message.

Qi was also his retreat route. Unfortunately, he didn't know how his brother knew that he was interested in the throne. He hid it very well, so how could he fail?

He has been thinking for the past two years, where did he expose himself?

Maybe he would never guess that the reason he was exposed was because of the person in front of him.

It was Lu Zhanxing who secretly wrote the letter of denunciation and exposed the power he had cultivated. Otherwise, how could the Crown Prince of Yan know that his brother, who always obeyed his orders, would have such thoughts?

Lu Zhanxing raised his eyebrows mysteriously: "How difficult is this? I am a martial arts master."

Yan Xiao wouldn't believe it and guessed that Lu Zhanxing must have someone to pick him up. However, since she could come in, it proved that she could get out.

"I don't believe you unless you take me out."

"You're dreaming." Lu Zhanxing was not fooled and immediately said with a click of the tongue: "Oh my, you've become uglier!"

Yan Xiao was angry. There was nothing ugly about him. He just didn't take good care of himself.

We are all imprisoned here, so what else is there to take care of?

The reason why he was not imprisoned in the clan house but in his own palace was all thanks to the princess who married from the Daqian Dynasty, proving that Daqian and Dayan were still in an alliance, otherwise his royal brother would definitely not let him go.

"Humph, if you were locked up in the palace and not allowed to leave, you would be like this too. You just have a good brother!"

He and Lu Zhanxing are the same type of people, but he ended up like this, which made him feel very unbalanced.

Lu Zhanxing nodded proudly and boasted: "That's right, in order to become a dandy prince, I spent a lot of effort to make my brother rebel successfully. Now I am the Prince Yi, and seeing me is like seeing His Majesty. Isn't it amazing!"

Seeing her smug look, Yan Xiao got angry and snorted, "Can your brother tolerate you abusing your power?"
