Chapter 523: Chapter 522: Consider It a Dream_1
“You’re not content, refusing to give Lin Clan’s daughter a chance to live, letting her cure Xuan’er. Do you intend to watch Xuan’er demise young and do nothing?”
“Cough cough.”
He said too much in one breath, causing his breath to become unsteady, as he pressed his hand against his chest, coughing several times.
“Xinzi, that’s not what I mean.”
The Empress immediately became flustered and disregarded the fact that Noble Lord was disrespecting her and angering her majesty.
She personally picked up a cup of tea from her desk and gave it to him: “The Prince is my son, how could I not love him? Calm down for now, let me think it over.”
“Your Majesty doesn’t trust Xinzi, I won’t drink this cup of tea!”
Noble Lord pushed away the cup of tea in frustration.
“Fine, I’ll agree to your request.”
The Empress was displeased, she slammed the cup on the desk and bit her teeth angrily: “I’ll spare that girl from the Lin Clan for now, and won’t pursue the matter of her going to Phoenix Pass to fight on her own.”
Noble Lord stood his ground: “Before she successfully cultivates the Longevity Pill, Your Majesty must not harm her in any way.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll comply, isn’t that enough?”
The Empress had a headache and rubbed her temples tiredly.
“Your Majesty, let Xinzi give you a massage.”
Noble Lord finally got his wish, his eyes flickered, his expression changing instantly.
With a host of charm reflected in his eyes, he slowly walked behind the Empress, his long, jade-like fingers tracing her hair, gently massaging her acupoints.
“Xinzi, don’t be angry.”
The Empress enjoyed Noble Lord’s service, the sullenness on her face vanished completely.
“As long as Your Majesty cherishes the Prince, Xinzi asks for nothing else.”
Noble Lord’s eyes were deep, he didn’t pause his hands, skillfully massaging the acupoints on her head, causing the Empress to squint her eyes in comfort.
“The Prince is truly fortunate to have your sincere affection.”
“It’s Xinzi’s honor to be cherished by Your Majesty.”
Noble Lord continued to speak in favor of the Empress’s wishes, making her feel even more comfortable, and completely letting go of her resentments.

Serene Snow Pavilion.
Lin Qingluo looked serious, intently instructing: “Xuan’er, behave, no matter what you dream about in the future, don’t say it out loud. Just treat it like a dream, forget about it once you wake up, don’t pay too much attention to it.”
“Xuan’er wants to forget, but…”
The Little Prince nestled in his sister’s arms, trembling a little with lingering fear: “The scenes in the dream are just like reality, Xuan’er can’t forget.”
“If you can’t forget, just bear with it and don’t speak about it.”
Lin Qingluo soothingly patted his back, speaking gently: “Even if it concerns your closest relatives, don’t say anything as long as there’s no threat to their lives.”
“Sister, will the red mole on Xuan’er’s forehead really never disappear?”
The Little Prince looked at his sister fondly, his adorable image tugging at one’s heartstrings.
“Did Father tell you?”
Lin Qingluo’s heart sank: “About your maternal grandmother, the bloodline inheritance, and the ancient abilities of the Wu Clan.”
“He told me.”
The Little Prince pouted, wanting to cry.
After turning eight, he hardly ever clung to his sister like this, gripping her clothes tightly, refusing to let go.
He was afraid that letting go would invite nightmares.
“Xuan’er, Sister has made some soothing pills which are good for sleep, you should take one every night before bed, it might help to stop the dreams.”
Lin Qingluo suddenly had an idea, she took out a bottle of Spirit Pill from her Storage Ring and placed it in the Little Prince’s palm.
“Xuan’er will listen to Sister.”
The Little Prince tightly gripped the Spirit Pill, and nuzzled adoringly against his sister’s neck, like a little puppy.
“It’s late, try taking one.”
Lin Qingluo tried to calm him: “Sister will stay with you until you fall asleep, then leave.”
