The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 429 - 292: Putting On an Act

At this moment, the Little Princess’s hand clearly had no intention of handing over.

Yet this had already been five lifetimes of reincarnation; it was the best time yet!

So good that Ying Ce even thought it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t take that pill.

If she really was controlled, then she wouldn’t be his Little Seventh.

He hoped she would be vibrant and spirited, just like she was now, willingly responding to his long-delayed love.

Ying Ce’s heart was surging with excitement, yet he tried hard to control his tumultuous emotions.

He curved his lips, eyes full of tenderness, "Mm, as long as Little Seventh is willing, I will take you away right now."

The Little Princess seemed very excited, yet that excitement quickly faded and was replaced by concern.

"But... hasn’t Bianliao and Great Xia already signed an alliance? If I break the engagement, the two countries will have to go to war..."

"Then let us leave this place, find somewhere no one knows us."

Ying Ce spoke sincerely.

He had imagined countless times, if Little Seventh followed him, what the future days would be like?

Ying Ce would question himself every time, could he truly let go of everything? Would he abandon the world?

Yet in his heart, there was only one answer.

As long as Little Seventh was by his side, he’d be willing even if it meant abandoning power and riches, living a life of simple meals.

As for the consequences of unilaterally breaking the alliance, Ying Ce had never thought about it.

The Little Princess seemed very surprised, "Then what about the people of Great Xia and Bianliao? If the two countries go to war, it’s the common people who suffer most. They haven’t done anything wrong, so why should they pay with their lives for our recklessness?"

Ying Ce slightly tilted his head, seemingly contemplating the Little Princess’s words.

What did the life or death of the people of the two countries have anything to do with him?

But he couldn’t say, couldn’t ask.

Not understanding was one thing, speaking out was another.

Little Seventh would surely think he was cruel, cold-blooded, lacking humanity...

These were words she had once said to him.

Even though Ying Ce didn’t say it, Yun Chunnuan still saw the confusion and misunderstanding in his eyes.

This man was beyond saving.

He would never put himself in anyone’s shoes, let alone for unrelated common people.

Perhaps, in his eyes, those people were like ants. Gone just means gone. As long as he lives wantonly and happily, it’s enough.

"Little Seventh..."

Ying Ce pondered for a long time, not knowing how to respond.

The Little Princess, smiling as if to comfort him, said, "Uncle, I know you also care about the people of Great Xia, so we can’t be so reckless. I’m still getting to know General Yelyu; after some time, if he is truly brutal by nature, we can then ponder our escape strategy."

Ying Ce seemed to smile helplessly, placing his jade-like hand atop her head to gently stroke her hair.

He emitted a faint herbal scent, very clean, very pleasant, making people feel an irresistible urge to get close.

But this person definitely did not include Yun Chunnuan.

When he approached her, she lowered her head, her eyes revealing a look of disgust that he could not see.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, and I’ll stay here with you. But Little Seventh must protect herself; if that brute dares to bully you, be sure to tell me."

When she raised her head again, Yun Chunnuan’s face was blushing, though her eyes were filled with shyness.

In reality, she was already swearing inwardly, her face reddened with anger!

Accompany your damn self!

If it wasn’t to lure out whatever agent is behind you, I wouldn’t bother giving you a second glance!

Once Grandmaster finds the whereabouts of that person, you lunatic, just you wait!

Ying Ce’s figure, though thin, was very tall. Standing before the Little Princess, one had to look up to see his face.

In his hand, more beautiful than jade, he held a folding fan.

Suspended under the fan was a green Jade Pendant in the shape of a little rabbit.

"Wow, this fan is so pretty, and the little rabbit is so cute!" The Little Princess glanced up and saw the fan in front of her, and instinctively reached out to touch the Jade Rabbit because it was too beautiful.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to touch it, the fan suddenly disappeared from in front of her, transferred by Ying Ce into his other hand.

The Little Princess, showing a regretful expression, quickly apologized, "Sorry, I just found it too beautiful..."

"No worries. Does Little Seventh like the rabbit or the fan more?"

Ying Ce seemed not angry, instead inquiring about her preferences.

The Little Princess’s eyes remained fixed on the fan, full of admiration, "To be honest, this fan is the most exquisite I’ve seen, looks like it should be an antique, right? Whether it’s the fan or the Jade Rabbit, they must be priceless!"

Yun Chunnuan’s world before she transmigrated, Ying Ce was naturally aware of.

Including her parents, well understood.

Her father seemed to research history and loved antiques. The daughter naturally learned to discern fine objects.

In truth, Ying Ce was quite happy.

After all, in her previous lives, she never cared what he had with him. Even if he carried a movable treasure trove, she took no interest.

Now at least, she no longer rejects him, nor detests him, and is interested in the things he carries.

This was a good start.

He remembered her shouting at him, that feelings between two people cannot be obtained by force but need to be slowly cultivated.

But back then, she forgot she never gave him a chance to spend time together.

She gazed longingly at the fan in his hand, softening Ying Ce’s heart, and he was about to hand her the fan.

Unexpectedly, just as he made the move, he suddenly froze.

Yun Chunnuan blinked, concerned and asked, "Uncle, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

His complexion grew paler, he coughed lightly, and the corner of his lips began to ooze blood.

Yun Chunnuan was clearly shocked, quickly stepping forward to help ease him by pressing on his heart’s pit.

Just at that moment, Yong Ye returned, thinking the Seventh Princess had angered the master again, and disgustingly pushed her away, "Princess maintain your dignity, I’ll take care of the master."

"Yong Ye! Cough, cough—"

Originally a suppressed cough, upon his opening his mouth, suddenly intensified into a violent coughing fit.

Yong Ye was alarmed and hurriedly went to get the life-saving pills, but Ying Ce waved his hand, "It’s alright, probably just fatigue from travel. Little Seventh..."

"Oh dear, why is the Prince spitting blood? Quick, someone help the Prince to the guest room to rest!"

Before Ying Ce could finish speaking, Shen Ruosui, who had been pulling Yelyu Lie away, suddenly appeared.

The excitement in her eyes was barely concealable, leaving Yun Chunnuan bewildered.

Ying Ce kept coughing, unaware of the abnormality of the suddenly intruding girl. Wanting to speak again, he couldn’t utter a word.

Soon, servants stepped forward, wanting to assist Ying Ce.

Stopped by Yong Ye, who only allowed the servants to lead the way, politely and indifferently thanked the Little Princess, then left with the continuously coughing man...
