Who Stole My Eggs?

The next day, the welcoming official from Yuzhao Kingdom discovered that there was a woman in white with cold features next to Princess Lin. The alarm bells rang in his heart, and he stepped forward to stop them: “May I ask the princess, who is this girl? Why didn’t I see her yesterday?”

Xie Zuo stretched out his hand to hold down the welcoming official and raised his chin towards the carriage.

Princess Lin took the woman in white and got onto the carriage first.

Li Guan wanted to catch up, but found that a thousand kilograms of weight was bearing down on him. He looked at Xie Zuo with some fear.

Xie Zuo also looked directly at him and said with a smile: “Sir, you are such a noble person who forgets things. That is Xiao Bai, the personal maid who has been taking care of the princess’s clothes since childhood. Don’t you remember?”

The welcoming official’s eyes were distracted for a moment. After refocusing, he repeatedly apologized: “Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was rude.”

“It’s okay.” Xie Zuo let go of him, walked to the carriage with his hands behind his back, and stepped up briskly.

The official did not dare to waste a moment and immediately arranged for the team to advance towards the imperial city.

In the carriage, Xie Zuo sat on Huo Yao, his long legs resting on the couch, staring at the cold-faced woman in white, and eating the sweet grapes that Huo Yao fed him.

A thin layer of anger appeared on the woman’s face when Xie Zuo kept staring: “What are you looking at?”

Princess Lin hurriedly advised: “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, Brother Ah Yun is teasing you.”

The woman snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and turned around to ignore them.

Xie Zuo sat up straight and said, “Mengzhao, you are really ignorant. We have gone to such great lengths to disguise you, and you still have a bad attitude.”

It turned out that the woman in white was none other than Mengzhao.

Mengzhao didn’t say anything, but Xie Zuo still wanted to provoke him and threw a grape at him, “Hey, where’s your dog? Isn’t he always inseparable from you?”

There must have been major changes between Wuzhao and Mengzhao. Mengzhao, as the leader of a country, actually disappeared and wandered in other countries. Wuzhao, who always tailing behind his back, did not move and did not search for him. This was very unusual.

Mengzhao turned his head and saw the intimate look between Xie Zuo and Huo Yao. The frost on his face melted a little, “He must be dead.”

Princess Lin carefully removed the grape on Mengzhao’s dress, picked it up, wiped it, and ate it himself.

Huo Yao, who had been silent all the time, spoke up, “If you want to solve the problem, tell us everything.”

Mengzhao looked at Huo Yao with a calculating look, and Huo Yao tapped a silent note on the wall of the carriage, “Tell us.”

.

Xie Zuo and the others slowly arrived at the Imperial City of Yuzhao Kingdom three days later.

Along the way, the closer they got to the Imperial City, the quieter it became. The supposedly lively neighborhood turned out to be very desolate. There were not many people walking on the street, but there were patrolling officers and soldiers everywhere. From time to time, they would encounter government officials who were transporting corpses together. They heard that they were all people suffering from the plague. If the people got infected, they would be taken out of the city and burned.

When entering the city, Xie Zuo opened the curtain and looked at the Yuzhao Palace. He found that the resentment lingering above the palace had condensed into black clouds.

The closer they got to the palace; the worse Princess Lin’s mood became. If he had a choice, he would never want to return to this suffocating home. However, his parents died suddenly for no reason, and his brother was acting crazy and strangely. He had to find out what happened.

From a distance, Princess Lin saw Yuzhao standing at the palace gate to greet them. Yuzhao was dressed in mourning clothes and was much thinner than before, but his eyes showed abnormal madness.

Princess Lin and Yuzhao had always been tight “brother and sister”. Seeing Yuzhao like this, even though he had many guesses in his heart, he still hurriedly climbed out of the carriage and ran towards Yuzhao, “Brother!”

What was unexpected was Yuzhao, who always acting reserved in front of outsiders, saw Princess Lin running and let the princess hugged him, “Ah Lin, you are finally back!”

Yuzhao did not reprimand Princess Lin for not obeying the rules, but instead hugged him tightly, which made Princess Lin’s heart soften immediately, and he hugged Yuzhao back hard, “Brother, I missed you so much!”

“Brother missed you too. Come inside, you’re tired. Come.”

Of course, Yuzhao didn’t say anything to Xie Zuo. He didn’t give him any face; he was just very wary of Huo Yao, but he treated them politely.

Along the way, Yuzhao held Princess Lin’s hand tightly. Princess Lin wanted to go to pay homage to his father and mother, but Yuzhao changed the subject.

Xie Zuo found an opportunity and whispered to Princess Lin: “You try to hold him back tonight, and leave the rest to us.”

.

At night, Princess Lin took off his disguise, untied the bone-shrinking technique on his body, and after taking a careful bath, he changed into his favorite pink brocade robe. Together with Xiao Yue, he went to Yuzhao’s palace with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

Tonight, he would have a drink with his brother without pretending as a woman.

“Brother!” As soon as Princess Lin entered the palace, he waved the fan in his hand and greeted Yuzhao.

Yuzhao was turning his back to him and looking up at the sky. When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw Princess Lin’s face that was almost exactly the same as his. That face was full of vitality and happiness.

Yuzhao immediately became furious, “Who allowed you to dress up like this?!”

Princess Lin stopped and was stunned, “Brother, what do you mean?”

Yuzhao rushed over and held his shoulders hard, “What’s the matter with you, Ah Lin? Why are you pretending to be me? Do you want to replace your brother?”

Under the candlelight at night, Princess Lin could clearly see Yuzhao’s eyes, and his eyes were actually blood red.

Princess Lin had never seen him lose his temper like this before, and he was a little frightened. “Brother, I don’t want it. This is how I am. You forgot, we are twins, and I am your brother! You said I don’t have to hide around you.”

Yuzhao roared angrily and grabbed his hair, “What nonsense are you talking about! You are my sister, I have no brother, you are a woman!”

Princess Lin’s hair was pulled so hard that his scalp hurt, and he couldn’t break free, “Brother, brother, please let me go!”

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Yue rushed over and hugged Yuzhao’s thigh, “Your Majesty, calm down your anger, Your Majesty, please calm down, let go of the princess first!”

When Yuzhao heard the word “Princess,” his expression suddenly softened, and he relaxed his grip a little, “Yes, Ah Lin is the cutest little princess. Come here and let me dress you up.”

Princess Lin was pushed into the room by Yuzhao, and soon, a group of palace maids and eunuchs filed in holding gorgeous dresses and jewelry.

Princess Lin was forcibly pushed in front of the dressing mirror. Yuzhao leaned over, bit his ear, and said viciously: “How can you be so indecent, you couldn’t even remember your own gender! Sit still!”

Princess Lin bit his lip, dared not say anything.

Yuzhao roughly pulled off the hairband that tied his hair, took away his belt, took away his beloved robe, and told the palace maids and eunuchs, “Dress up my Ah Lin well!”

Princess Lin looked at himself in the mirror while he was crying, letting the palace maids and eunuchs comb his hair into a bun, put on gold and silver jewelry, and apply makeup and powder.

While changing his clothes, something went wrong. The clothes brought by the maids were all women’s clothes worn by Princess Lin after his bones shrunk. Now that he had returned to a male body, the previous clothes could no longer be worn.

Upon seeing this, Yuzhao actually pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, raised the sword, and slashed the throats of the leading eunuch and the palace maid.

“You useless piece of shit, you brought the wrong clothes to Ah Lin, damn it!”

After the two fell to the ground, their eyes were wide open, staring at Princess Lin with fear and resentment.

The remaining eunuchs and maids were all trembling with fear.

Princess Lin recognized that several of them were old people from his mother’s harem and had taken care of him when he was a child.

Princess Lin fell to his knees, looking at the familiar wounds on the dead man’s neck, tears welling up in his eyes.

At this time, it suddenly started raining heavily outside.

Princess Lin sobbed: “Brother, don’t be angry. The clothes fit the size. I didn’t wear them properly just now.”

The bones in Princess Lin’s body made a “click, click, click” sound, as if someone had broken his slender bones. He got up, and after a while, he became the petite and exquisite self when pretending to be woman.

Princess Lin spread his arms, and the palace maids served to put on the layers of complicated and gorgeous woman clothes.

Yuzhao looked at the familiar Princess Lin and was very satisfied. He lowered his head and stroked Princess Lin’s cheek, and said softly: “This is my good sister, and you will be like this from now on.”

He led Princess Lin to the pavilion in the courtyard, ordered the eunuchs to serve good wine and food, and he wanted to talk about his lovesickness with Princess Lin.

Princess Lin regained his composure, and the rain gradually stopped.

He called Yuzhao sweetly, exchanged cups with him, and told him interesting things, just like he used to pretend in front of his father.

Note:

Remember, Princess Lin is a man. And I think this Yuzhao is a creep.
