Chapter 4 (2/2)

Ai ya, the tastebuds of ancient people sure are inadequate, their food can’t even be compared to an ordinary package of potato chips. How did all these Princes and Princesses swallow this down?

Even though Lin Shan was complaining, but due to her hunger, she tried her best to glomp it all down. She was planning to finish the meal quickly and find a place to sleep, but who would have thought because she was eating so quickly, she started to… choke!

“Water… water… water!” Right now, Lin Shan couldn’t help but feel sorry for herself. She was always worried about her ident.i.ty being discovered, causing her entire bloodline to be eradicated and dying a pitiful but dramatic death. But who would think that right now she was about to die from eating too fast!!!

Water! I need water!!!!

A normal person would start behaving erratically when under extreme stress, and start las.h.i.+ng out without thinking. Even though Lin Shan usually always tried to use her brain, but right now it has completely failed her, and she flailed around purely on instinct. A figure of a pa.s.serby suddenly appeared. She immediately latched onto their arms.

“Water…. Water.. I need water” Like a crab she clinged onto him with claws, begging for water.

The other person was stunned and were not able to even respond.

“Water… water!” Lin Shan thought this was the end. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the other party’s wine bottle. She immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed and gulped it down.

“Cough.. Cough…” After awhile of just intense coughing, the lump in her throat finally pa.s.s.

Finally took care of it!!! Lin Shan felt immensely relieved, sighing loudly, handing the wine bottle back. “Brother, my grat.i.tudes!”

The other person continued to stand there in silence like a statue.

Lin Shan didn’t think much of it.. It’s the middle of the night, all the royal family must have come back to the palace and rest. This person must have been just a random guard, it must be no big deal. She spoke innocently: “Brother, don’t hold a grudge, I thought that wine wasn’t anything special anyway. If worst comes to worst, tomorrow I’ll give you another one! Brother, why aren’t you talking? Hey…”

Whoa! Lin Shan was speechless.

Oh lord! This guy is super handsome!

She could see that the pa.s.serby was wearing a guard uniform, his demeanor proud and serious, his face heroic, his nose tall and straight, one could vaguely sense a powerful aura coming from him. If not because of him wearing a guard uniform, Lin Shan would have cursed her luck for running into a prince or a big shot from somewhere.

What a Royal Palace, even a random guard has such good looks. Lin Shan felt an immense appreciation for life.

“Brother, you have grown up to be so handsome, stop keeping that serious look all day. Give me a quick smile, come on!”

The corner of the other person’s lips started twitching.

“It’s just a wine bottle, why are you so selfish? I understand, your pay must not be very much? I’ll tell you, the people up there only cares about themselves, why would they worry about the lives of the people beneath them? I wonder who take cares of the salary payment…” Lin Shan began to prattle on.

“Prince Consort” The other person abruptly spoke.

Lin Shan almost fainted. Not only are you so good looking, even your voice is so nice and smooth! Do you want to take my life?

“The Prince Consort must have a lot of spare time, even worrying about my salary? Even so, it’s best if each person worries about their own finances.”

“Hey.., do you know what this wine is? I feel sort of.. Hazy..” In the middle of their talks, she suddenly felt her legs weakening.

“Help me stand, I can’t… I..” Lin Shan wasn’t able to think of much more and held onto the other person’s arm.

Then, darkness befall her vision. She was pa.s.sing out.

Even though she was fainting, she didn’t forget to take advantage of the situation and started groping.

Ooh, I like what I’m feeling… Oops, yup, losing consciousness.
