How To Survive as a Villain

Chapter 37: The Premeditation Of The Plot.

Xiao YuAn’s foot was sprained and it wasn’t dislocated. The Imperial physician said that it would be fine to just rest for a few days.

So Xiao YuAn was lazily eating and drinking, lying stiff like a corpse every day.

On the third day, Princess Yongning came to visit the patient, and behind her was Cui’er, the maid that looked like Lu Zhishen. Cui’er was very shy, she twisted her head and walked a few steps without looking at the road, then accidentally hitting a guard that was at the door of the Imperial bedchamber. With a cry, Cui’er shyly entered the bedchamber. The guard sat on the ground feeling that his ribs were broken.

“Imperial Brother, how is it possible that you’ve been sick and injured recently?” Princess Yongning sat beside the bed with worried eyes.

Xiao YuAn comforted her: “I just sprained my ankle by accident, don’t worry.”

“Well, Imperial Brother, Yongning cooked some porridge for you.” After saying that, Princess Yongning gave a signal to Cui’er and she quickly brought an exquisite wooden food box.

Upon seeing Hong Xiu, Princess Yongning took the food box personally and said with a smile: “It’s okay, I’ll do it, the sugar hasn’t been added yet.”

Hong Xiu nodded her head, and stepped aside.

A sweet fragrance was coming from the inside of the food box. Xiao YuAn moved towards the bedside and leaned out: “What kind of porridge is this?”

Princess Yongning smiled: “Snow pear lily porridge.”

Xiao YuAn fell directly out of his bed.

There was a scream in the bedroom, and Princess Yongning was so scared that she quickly helped Xiao YuAn get back up on the bed: “Imperial Brother, be more careful.”

Xiao YuAn asked tremblingly: “Y-you say it again, what porridge?”

Princess Yongning was puzzled: “Snow pear lily porridge.”

“Cooked with the sun dried lily flowers stored since last August?”

“Eh?” Princess Yongning was surprised. “Imperial Brother, what’s wrong? Why do you look so frightened?”

How can Xiao YuAn not be frightened!!!

Snow pear lily porridge???

In the original book, this was Yan HeQing’s first bloom of love for Princess Yongning, this item helped to push forward their hidden feelings!!

In the original book, Yan HeQing, who was an Imperial bodyguard, was amazed after drinking the snow pear lily porridge made by the princess herself, bent her eyes and smiled: “If you like it, then, can I cook the porridge again for you?”

Yan HeQing’s heart got warmer. He thought of how Princess Yongning treated him with kindness, and how good her nature was for many days. Suddenly, faint love thoughts flooded!

And the author also emphasizes that when this lily flower bloomed, only two or three could be saved, only enough to cook this porridge once. In the original book, only the male lead Yan HeQing had eaten this snow pear lily porridge.

Xiao YuAn’s heart was racing: So why did you cook it! Not only did you cook it, but you also brought it to me!!! I’ll die young!! This is the plot of the snow pear lily porridge, but the both of them haven’t met yet!! Haven’t! Met! Yet!

Xiao YuAn was feeling a little suffocated.

Princess Yongning opened the wooden food box. Holding the wooden clip, she took some sugar and put it into the soft and sweet porridge: “Imperial Brother likes sweets, so I put a little bit more of sugar into it.”

It doesn’t matter what I like or what I don’t like!! What’s important is whether Yan HeQing likes it!!

Princess Yongning picked up the wooden spoon, scooped out a small bowl, and fed it to Xiao YuAn’s mouth: “Imperial Brother, please taste it.”

Xiao YuAn took the small bowl and took a sip of the porridge, his eyes lit up.

Delicious!! This is the porridge that only the male lead is allowed to drink!!!

Xiao YuAn drank the porridge with extremely complicated feelings. He praised it and said: “My lips and teeth retain the fragrance, the aftertaste is endless, it’s delicious.”

Princess Yongning received the bowl and was delighted: “It’s great that Imperial Brother liked it so much. How about Yongning cooks the porridge again for Imperial Brother, would you like it?”

Xiao YuAn’s face collapsed.

Can someone please stop giving me all the main roles for the scenes destined to the female lead and the male lead! I can’t stand it!

“But there’s still so much left, does Imperial Brother want to drink some more?” Princess Yongning asked, looking at the food box.

“I’ll drink it!” Xiao YuAn suddenly shouted. “Leave it here, I’ll eat some more in a while.”

“Wonderful.” Princess Yongning smiled cheerfully.

Princess Yongning talked with Xiao YuAn for a while, then she left the Imperial bedchamber.

Seeing Princess Yongning leaving, Xiao YuAn moved quickly. Putting away the food container, disregarding his ankle injury, and insisted on going to Jing Yang Palace.

Yan HeQing was surprised by the sudden appearance of Xiao YuAn. He put a food box on the table, lifted the lid, and filled a bowl, fearing that he wouldn’t drink it, he insisted: “Drink, drink, drink.”

Although Yan HeQing wasn’t understanding anything, he still took a sip of the glutinous porridge from Xiao YuAn’s hand.

“How is it?” Xiao YuAn asked.

Yan HeQing frowned: “It’s too sweet.”

Xiao YuAn’s hand trembled nearly breaking the porcelain bowl.

It’s too sweet?

Sweet?

Shouldn’t you use all the best words in the world to praise this bowl of porridge!!

How do you have the nerve to dislike it! You don’t want your wife!!!

Xiao YuAn asked: “Don’t you feel anything?”

“Feel what?”

Of course the feeling of palpitations! The feeling of first love! A young girl yearning for love… Pah! A heartfelt feeling!

“You must drink it all.” Xiao YuAn pushed the food box to Yan HeQing.

Yan HeQing stared at him and slowly swallowed the porridge until he felt full.

Xiao YuAn asked nervously: “How was it?”

Yan HeQing poured a cup of water and put it on his lips: “Slightly greasy.”

“……” Xiao YuAn stood up. “I’ll come back tomorrow morning. I must present someone special to you, I must!”

Yan HeQing was drinking water trying to clear the greasy feeling in his mouth while listening to Xiao YuAn’s nagging about a plot, and the nonsense of a male lead and a female lead. Finally, Xiao YuAn emphasizes it again that he’ll come tomorrow morning, and then, he sighed and left.

Yan HeQing was confused wondering why Xiao YuAn was so sad that he didn’t finish eating all the porridge.

He put his hand on his chin and looked down. Suddenly, he felt something was abnormal, so he got up and walked to open the window. The wind was cold, there was ice and snow everywhere. Yan HeQing narrowed his eyes slightly. After checking that everything was looking normal, he felt that he was thinking too much and finally closed the window.

At the same time, there was a man hiding behind a big tree inside the courtyard.

The man was thin and agile. Seeing Yan HeQing closing the window, he took a long breath, wiped his cold sweat, and ran towards another part inside the Jing Yang Palace.

That was Qin Yu’s wing room.

Qin Yu was anxiously walking back and forth inside the wing room, worried that something had gone wrong and everything was exposed.

Qin Yu was afraid of death. Because he was afraid of death, he didn’t dare to disobey the Emperor’s order and became part of his harem of male concubines. Because of his fear of death, when the Young Monarch expressed his love to him, he had to suppress his disgust and pretend to be flattering and charming. Just because of his fear of death, in this Palace, his original strong temperament became more and more susceptible and sensitive. There was a time when he didn’t have plotting and tricks inside his mind, but he had no other choice than to become a calculating person. After all, inside this Palace filled with evil intentions, there’s no room for true temperament.

Suddenly, there was a knock at his door, Qin Yu was so scared that he hurried to open it.

The short man quickly entered the room and closed the door behind him: “Qin-gongzi, his Majesty will go to Yan HeQing tomorrow morning.”

Hearing the news, Qin Yu nodded, got up and took a bag of silver from a wooden cabinet inside the wing-room and gave it to the thin man. The man thanked him again and again, and heard Qin Yu say: “Go and ask Xiao Fengyue if he had already considered it or not, got it?”
