Your Highness Yh Chapter 48 (2/2)

But being the unbeatable c.o.c.kroach that she was, Lin Shan was actually more calm now that she had been provoked.

Since Du Hao has already confirmed I am a woman in disguise, why hasn’t he reported it to the Emperor? Instead, he came here alone to talk to me. Clearly, he has a hidden motive. I wonder what type of motive would stop him from reporting me?

Regardless of his motive, based on his personality, as long as he hasn’t gotten what he wants, he isn’t going to kill me. If that’s the case, the best thing to do is to stall for time and try to reach Lian Feng.

Thinking of this, Lin Shan decided to take a gamble.

Seeing how Lin Shan’s expression went from fear to calm briefly astonished Du Hao. He darkened his expression and sternly asked: “Song Luo. Do you know what crimes you have committed?”

Don’t be nervous! He’s trying to scare you. He’s trying to scare you! Lin Shan told herself. She calmly pointed at her mouth, indicating she couldn’t speak as she shook her head.

“Pretending to be dumb, now?”  Du Hao arched his brows higher as he tightened his grip and pulled her closer.

From a closer view, her eyebrows were clearly dainty. She didn’t have the slightly masculinity on her. How the h.e.l.l did she get away with this? Du Hao couldn’t believe he had actually questioned his s.e.xual preference at one point. He could feel his anger boiling from within.

Du Hao’s glare actually looked even more frightening now. Lin Shan was flipping out on the inside. This was a dangerous situation! Aside from pretending to be dumb, with her IQ, she couldn’t think of any other solution.

Therefore, she gritted her teeth and continued to be an innocent little bunny. She gave her best effort at pretending to be pitiful in front of the big bad wolf.

Logically, Lin Shan’s move would have been useless if it was directed towards most people. However, she actually used it on the right target. The angry Du Hao immediately froze.

It’s her! I can’t be wrong. The maiden that was once constantly on his mind had appeared again. She had the same eyes….even her pout was the same. If she was really the same person, it would be the best excuse for his unexpected behaviour.

But, how could it be her? The maiden in his mind was elegant and refined. She looked like a G.o.ddess and every frown and smile accentuated her beauty. Song Luo was nothing like this person. This woman in front of him openly lacked manners. In addition, her mind was filled with ridiculous ideas; not to mention, her eyes lit up whenever she saw money.

Yet, despite knowing Song Luo’s true self, Du Hao still couldn’t stop himself from falling for her. Deep down, he even had a wicked desire to seize the opportunity to make Lin Shan his woman. Oh, what should he do?

Lin Shan could see Du Hao’s expression sinking into misery. She thought her plan had failed. Now, she was plotting whether she should attempt to seduce him instead. But unexpectedly, Du Hao released her hand and stood up without an expression. He didn’t even look at her as he turned away.

But right before he stepped out the door, he suddenly turned around and said: “I will claim my debt later on.” Then, he disappeared.

This surprising outcome shocked Lin Shan. What debt? Does he mean he doesn’t plan on exposing me because he doesn’t want me to die swiftly under one blade? He wants to use a dagger to slowly tear me apart?

He’s not even human! He’s a beast! At that moment, Lin Shan had tears running down her face.

“Your Highness, you honestly do not plan to report this to the Emperor?” Within a few moments after Du Hao left the room, Gu Zuo silently appeared from the shadows.

“I know what I’m doing. Gu Zuo, help me investigate a person.” Du Hao stated as he took out a slip of paper from his waist. On the slip of paper, written vertically in black ink were “The Prince Consort is on the Black Dragon Mountain.”

“Isn’t that the slip from that day…..”

“Yes. I want to see which person possess such remarkable abilities that he was able to find Song Luo before our secret agents.” Du Hao looked up the sky and couldn’t see a single star.

There appears to be a storm brewing towards them.

*eat my tofu: This is a common Chinese phrase. It means you’re trying to s.e.xually take advantage of a person. I have no idea why it’s called that though. What does tofu have to do with this??? I’m so confused.. lol.. but it’s commonly used in Chinese.
