Chapter 487 - 331: Taking Over_2
No one ever told Li Nuo what he should do.
So these past two days, apart from compiling books, he had nothing else to do.
When it was time for bed, Li Nuo looked at the only quilt on the bed and said nothing.
Sometimes, it's not so bad to be a little muddle-headed.
Song Yiren looked at the quilt and also remained silent.
They both tacitly didn't mention the matter of the other quilt, going to bed and covering themselves with the same quilt.
The bed was very wide, and there was still a distance between them.
But early the next morning, when Song Yiren opened her eyes, she found that the distance between them had disappeared.
Somehow, Li Nuo had already slept beside her, sharing her pillow with his arm draped over her body.
They were so close that their noses were almost touching.
Yesterday morning's incident was still fresh in her mind, and she didn't dare to sneak a kiss again. But she had a sudden idea and gently touched Li Nuo's nose with her own, enjoying it immensely.
Just like yesterday, Li Nuo had woken up long ago.
He was originally waiting for Yiren to sneak a kiss again so he could repeat his old trick, but he didn't expect her to start playing around.
Li Nuo frowned slightly, and she immediately retracted her neck.
Seeing that Li Nuo didn't wake up, she boldly moved again.
Li Nuo suddenly reached out his arm, holding her tightly in his embrace, and said in a half-asleep tone, "Wife, stop messing around..."
Song Yiren was startled by his sudden action, and being held in his arms, she didn't dare to move.
But soon, her mood calmed down, and a smile appeared on her lips.
This time, it wasn't her who took the initiative.
She peacefully stayed in Li Nuo's embrace, closed her eyes, and planned to sleep a little longer.
After a full two quarters of an hour, if Li Nuo didn't get up, the Sixth Princess would come to knock on the door.
Li Nuo had no choice but to open his eyes, pretending not to know that Yiren was pretending to sleep, and gently moved his arm away from her, getting out of bed quietly.
Song Yiren didn't move the entire time, pretending she was still asleep.
But leaving Li Nuo's embrace, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
At this moment, she suddenly sensed Li Nuo approaching.
Then, she felt a soft touch on her face.
The footsteps by the bed gradually faded away, and soon after, there was the sound of the door opening.
She slowly opened her eyes, touched her face, her eyes filled with shyness and delight...
Amidst the shyness and delight, she found it somewhat amusing. She was a Fourth Realm Peak Martial Artist; her perception was far beyond his. Did he really think that by sneaking a kiss, she wouldn't know?
At this moment, she made a decision in her heart.
She would wake up late every day from now on...
After Li Nuo had washed up, he practiced morning exercises for a while in the courtyard, and then Yiren came out of the room yawning.
He turned to look at Yiren and asked, "Why are you up so late today?"
Song Yiren thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I've hit a bottleneck now. Breaking through requires opportunity; practicing more won't help. It's better to sleep a little longer in the morning..."
Li Nuo was playing dumb, and he knew Yiren was too. This was their tacit understanding.
He looked at Yiren and said, "Let's go out and buy some groceries and cook lunch ourselves."
A moment later, the two of them left the Princess Mansion together.
Since Zhao Country also issued health management regulations, the streets were much cleaner than before.
The Zhao Country Martial Arts Grandmasters that needed to be captured had also been captured, and Li Nuo had the Sixth Princess amend the regulations.
In the future, anyone who violated the regulations would only be fined silver, not arrested. This way, the public would accept it more readily.
The two walked hand in hand like an ordinary couple, browsing and selecting at the nearby market.
The market was crowded, and Li Nuo noticed that in some key locations of the market, some people's eyes were constantly scanning the crowd.
They should be people from the Zhao Country Anti-theft Bureau.
Since the Thief Sect turned over a new leaf, theft cases in the Zhao Capital have plummeted, which was attributed to the Fourth Prince's achievements.
In just two months, the Fourth Prince had completely turned his fortunes around. As the person behind all this, Li Nuo had not yet gained the power of the School of Cross and Vertical.
However, he was not in a hurry.
For the School of Cross and Vertical, results matter more than the process.
From the beginning, his goal was to help the Fourth Prince ascend to the imperial throne. Only by achieving this goal could he enter the School of Cross and Vertical, and his entry would be at the High Realm.
These days, the Fourth Prince was undoubtedly the focus of public discussion.
Even the ordinary people buying vegetables and the farmers selling vegetables mentioned him in their conversations.
"I never realized before that the Fourth Prince was so capable."
"Yeah, the streets used to be full of thieves, but now you don't see them anywhere."
"I heard that in the future, the government will build a lot of medical halls for the public, and it will only cost a few cents to see a doctor. If that's true, it would be great..."
While the two farmers were talking, someone suddenly splashed cold water on their conversation.
"Come on, you can dream about that. Do you really think it will be so cheap to see a doctor in the future?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You people are too gullible. Every time there's a power struggle, the princes promise the moon, but how many actually keep their promises once they are in power?"
"Just wait and see. In four months, forget seeing a doctor, even the free porridge stalls will be gone, and those beggars will be chased out of the shelters. This kind of thing has happened before."
What do you think?
