Who Stole My Eggs?

The queen looked at her youngest son with great reluctance, but there was nothing she could do for a while. She burst into tears and begged her old maid: “Momo, can you think of something? They are both my darlings. How can I bear to watch one of them die? I might as well give up my own life!”

The old maid wiped her tears, “If the Queen is willing, I will risk my life to smuggle the Little Highness out and hand him over to my people to raise. In this way, the Little Highness can be saved. But we will be separated in this life, and I fear we will never see each other again.”

As soon as the old maid finished speaking, the younger brother seemed to sense something and burst into tears. While crying, he used his little hands to pull the corner of the queen’s clothes.

The queen’s heart immediately softened. She picked up her youngest son and kissed him apologetically: “Momo, look, he doesn’t want to leave. He doesn’t want to leave me!”

“Then…” The old maid was also at a loss, “The queen needs to make a decision early. The king will send people to inquire from time to time. It won’t be hidden for long.”

The queen thought for a long time, looked down at her youngest son in her arms, and said slowly: “Go and tell the king that I have given birth to twins.”

The old maid was shocked: “Twins, this…”

The queen made up her mind and regained her usual perseverance, “Go.” Then, she put her youngest son down and took out a jade bottle from a secret compartment of the bedside table. “Momo, this is a secret potion made by my people. Each person in the palace who serves me and saw my childbirth will receive ten taels of gold and a bowl of tea. You must watch them drink the tea with your own eyes.”

The old maid carefully took the jade bottle, took out the Gu insect, and put it into the tea. The Gu insect melted into the water, becoming colorless and odorless. The old maid did not hesitate, raised her head, and drank in one gulp.

The queen was moved: “Momo! You…”

The old maid wiped her mouth, “Queen, don’t worry, the old slave does this voluntarily. I am used to taking care of you, and I will continue to take care of your children in the future.”

“…That’s it,” Princess Lin continued, taking a big sip of wine. “My father was very arrogant. He never imagined that my mother would dare to deceive him. He heard that she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. It was raining heavily that day, and rain is considered auspicious in our country. He was overjoyed and thought it was a blessing from the heavens. He only cared about hugging my elder brother. He just glanced at me and didn’t care about me at all.”

“My father liked my elder brother very much and immediately made him the crown prince. According to custom, he was named after the country. Then he named me Lin. In our place, it is considered auspicious to have a name that connected with rain.”

“He didn’t care about me, which was exactly what my mother wanted. All I had to do was kowtow to him during festivals and ceremonies. I never saw him on weekdays. My mother came from a witch clan and knew many strange secret techniques. From as far back as I can remember, she taught me the art of disguise and bone shrinking. That’s how I’ve lived until now.”

“My elder brother was very good to me. He always knew about my situation and also knew that I wanted to go out and play. So, when he received the notice from the academy, he insisted on taking me with him. That’s where I met Brother Yunzhao!”

Xie Zuo shook the goosebumps on his body, “Don’t call me Brother Yunzhao with that face, it’s disgusting.”

Princess Lin winked at him, making Xie Zuo retch in disgust.

“When I was at the academy, everyone was learning immortal magic, and I would run around and play in the mountains every day. It was so fun! But…” Princess Lin paused, “Once I ran too far and couldn’t go back, and I met a beast. It was Brother Yunzhao who saved me, so I decided to serve him, oh no.” Seeing Huo Yao’s face, Princess Lin immediately changed his words, “I decided to repay Brother Yunzhao well.”

Huo Yao didn’t say anything, glancing at Xie Zuo and drinking a glass of wine.

It was over, Xie Zuo thought to himself. This man would definitely go crazy again tonight.

Princess Lin sighed, “Actually, I pestered Brother Yunzhao to help me. The environment at home was too suffocating. My mother and elder brother had suppressed my nature for many years, and at the same time, they felt very guilty and wanted to compensate me crazily. I hoped to leave, so that we could all be free.”

“Brother Yunzhao was being forced to get married, and I wanted to leave, so we hit it off. It was because I was afraid of exposing my identity and causing trouble for my mother and eldest brother that I forced Brother Yunzhao to take the oath. I have to get married before the truth comes out. I didn’t expect that I caused trouble for you, I will punish myself with three drinks!”

Xie Zuo snorted, “If you want to drink, just say you want to drink, don’t make excuses.”

Princess Lin drank three glasses in a row and sighed with satisfaction, “It’s comfortable, it’s so comfortable, your wine is really strong!”

Princess Lin had an amazing amount of drinking capacity; his eyes became brighter and brighter a he drank, and he didn’t look drunk at all.

Huo Yao was already a very good drinker. Seeing Princess Lin like this made him feel ashamed.

Xie Zuo chuckled, “Don’t believe him. He’s been drunk for a long time. He just doesn’t want to admit it.”

“No way!” Princess Lin refused to accept it and stood up to get another drink. As soon as he stood up, he fell to the ground with a “thud”.

Xie Zuo looked at Huo Yao, “See, I told you.”

Huo Yao carried the drunk Princess Lin to the bed, and Xie Zuo called Xiao Yue, “She drank a lot, so be careful with her.”

“Yes.” Xiao Yue lowered her eyebrows and agreed.

Huo Yao frowned and looked at Princess Lin, “Will he sleep here with you?”

Xie Zuo spread his hands, “Yes, I have nowhere else to go at night, what should I do?”

Huo Yao’s strong arm hooked around his waist, and he lifted him up. “Come to my room.”

“Hahaha!” Xie Zuo laughed wildly.
