Chapter 255: Unable to Accept the Princess Anymore

Zhao Haoxuan shook his head helplessly, sighed deeply, and said:

"Princess, why bother? I can barely protect myself right now, so how can I possibly have the energy to discuss matters of personal love? Furthermore, I already have someone I love, and I simply cannot accept your kindness."

Hearing this, Gou Chunmei bit her lips tightly, her eyes gradually turned red, tears welled up in them, but she forced herself not to let them fall.

She raised her head, looked at Zhao Haoxuan firmly, and said in a resolute tone, "I don't care. I only recognize you, Your Highness. No matter what, I will not give up my feelings for you."

At this moment, Zhao Yucheng, who was not far away, was looking for something furtively. Finally, he saw a familiar figure, who was his trusted subordinate buried in the palace.

Zhao Yucheng quickly waved to the other person to come over. When the person came closer, he lowered his voice and quietly instructed:

"Hurry and investigate if the Miao princess has any leverage or special preferences. Remember, this matter must be handled in complete secrecy, and no word must leak out. As long as we can find her weaknesses, I will be able to win her over to our side."

After hearing the order, the confidant nodded respectfully, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

On the other side, Zhao Haoxuan knew very well that Zhao Yucheng would never let him go so easily.

He sighed deeply, then turned to look at Gou Chunmei who was standing beside him, and slowly said, "You should go back first. Remember, don't let anyone know that I saved you."

When Gou Chunmei heard what Zhao Haoxuan said, a look of reluctance appeared on her face.

However, facing the man's firm gaze and unquestionable tone, she finally nodded and said she would follow his arrangements.

After Gou Chunmei turned and left, Zhao Haoxuan was alone looking up at the clear blue sky above his head.

At this moment, the sunlight was shining on his handsome face, illuminating his deep and worried eyes.

At this moment, his heart was filled with worry and anxiety. He did not expect that the woman he had saved was actually the princess of the Miao Kingdom!

When the thought that Xinyao might know about that matter emerged in his mind, his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

When he thought of the Miao princess who had once sat astride the same horse with him, her slender and soft arms tightly wrapped around his waist, as if wanting to merge him into her body.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared, afraid that Wang Xinyao would find out about this and ignore him again.

What was even worse was that the Miao princess was almost using her irresistible charm to seduce him and try to lure him onto the bed filled with ambiguous atmosphere.

If Xinyao really knew all this, the consequences would be unimaginable!

I wonder how Xinyao will react. Will she fly into a rage and be heartbroken? Or will she quietly turn away and become a stranger to him from now on?

Or would she take some extreme measures to retaliate against him and the Miao princess? Countless possibilities intertwined in his mind, making him upset and restless.

When he thought of this, Zhao Haoxuan felt at a loss and had no idea how to deal with the upcoming situation.

He was extremely anxious and could not wait to see Xinyao, whom he had been thinking about so much. So he hurried back to the East Palace.

At this moment, his heart was a mess and he was extremely upset.

He paced back and forth in the courtyard, as if that could calm him down a little.

A whole day passed without him eating a single bite of food, just waiting foolishly.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the flower viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden ended and night fell.

Unable to suppress his anxiety, he quickly changed into night clothes and quietly left the palace.

With his familiarity with the route, he quickly found Wang Xinyao.

The two smiled at each other, and then started to act without stopping.

Taking advantage of the dark night, they shuttled between mountains, forests and fields, continuously supplying precious water resources to the long-dried land.

In this way, they worked tirelessly for most of the night.

In the past ten days and nights, they have been running back and forth here every night, without any slackness.

Hard work pays off. After their unremitting efforts, the fields around the capital finally had sufficient water supply, and the crops in most areas were able to regain their vitality.

Seeing this pleasant scene, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xinyao, there's a flower-viewing banquet being held in the palace today!" Zhao Haoxuan said nervously while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Having not slept all night and been working on the irrigation work, Wang Xinyao was now exhausted.

Hearing Zhao Haoxuan's words, she just nodded symbolically and responded softly: "Oh!"

Zhao Haoxuan also noticed her fatigue, but he still wanted to take the initiative to tell Wang Xinyao frankly: "Xinyao, I met the Miao princess today. She is..."

Before Zhao Haoxuan finished speaking, Wang Xinyao's ears suddenly heard a clear and sweet voice from the ring space, like a baby:

"Congratulations to the master for over three months of hard work, successfully resolving the drought problem, saving thousands of people from dire straits, and unlocking the third level of the pyramid!"

"The third level of the pyramid?" Wang Xinyao felt ecstatic. She hadn't received such an exciting reward for a long time.

"Xinyao, Xinyao..." Zhao Haoxuan's voice sounded again.

Wang Xinyao woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhao, what did you just say?"

"No, nothing! Xinyao, you are tired, go back and rest early!" The words came to his lips, but he couldn't utter them as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.

Zhao Haoxuan was really afraid that once he told the truth, Xinyao might treat him coldly from then on and never pay any attention to him again.

After all, Wang Xinyao once told him in person that her greatest wish in this life was to spend her life with him, to be together forever, and to be a couple forever!

However, this situation now makes Zhao Haoxuan feel extremely anxious and guilty, fearing that his past experiences will ruin this originally beautiful relationship.

Wang Xinyao nodded: "Brother Zhao, then you should also return to the palace as soon as possible, so as not to be discovered!"

She now couldn't wait to return to the manor and enter the ring space to see what surprises the pyramid had brought her!
