What did he just do?
He had just sucked Princess Royal's finger. He clearly hated her. But when he saw her in pain, he didn't even think about it.
Her fingers were as white as snow, delicate and soft, like the most tender green onions or the whitest bamboo. It gave him a nostalgic feeling.
He shook his head uncomfortably. What was wrong with him?
He clearly liked the little Yue'Er. Why did he have such strange feelings for Princess Royal?

Early the next morning, Chu Xuanchen changed into Prince Tuan Long's red patchwork clothes and went to the palace to report to the Emperor.
Last night, he had received a letter from Li San. Li San had already bought food in Xue Yue and had arrived in Jiang Nan to continue the disaster relief.
When he received the letter, he felt relieved.
In the throne room, Chu Xuanchen and Prince Xian led four rows of officials to stand in front of the throne room, waiting for Emperor Hong Yuan to come to court.
For some reason, when it was time to go to court, Emperor Hong Yuan still hadn't arrived.
When the officials were impatient, Emperor Hong Yuan finally arrived with a pair of dark circles under his eyes and Shanshan.
Chu Xuanchen looked up and discovered that Emperor Hong Yuan had lost a lot of weight compared to before.
There were dark circles under his eyes, and his eye sockets were sunken. His entire person was listless and dispirited. He was not at all as vigorous, sharp, and mighty as before.
In a short month, it was as if he had become a completely different person.
Chu Xuanchen knew that he had taken too many golden pills to become like this.
When they saw Emperor Hong Yuan walk in, everyone hurriedly saluted him.
"Everyone, please rise."
After Emperor Hong Yuan finished speaking, he sat down on the dragon throne and suddenly yawned. Then he said to everyone, "The Emperor of Li and Prince Xian have returned to court. I presume that the flood control is almost complete. A few days ago, I received news that The Emperor of Li and Prince Xian have rendered meritorious service in controlling the floods in Jiangzhou and Qingzhou. They have successfully resisted the flood and saved the people of the two regions. I am greatly gratified. "
Chu Xuanchen immediately said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's excellent leadership, your high foresight, Chen and Prince Xian were fortunate enough not to fail our mission and led the troops to resist the flood. The flood control this time is also the result of the unity of the officials and people of Jiangzhou, the people and the imperial court, advancing and retreating together. "
Hongyuan Emperor said, "The Emperor of Li, previously, Zhang Shifan repeatedly wrote to accuse you of digging ponds in Jiang Prefecture and running amok, which made me worried. Fortunately, Eunuch Xu came to report later that the pond you and The Princess of Li dug was showing results. Only then did we feel relieved. I will spread the flood-control method throughout the world and spread it to all the prefectures in Jiangnan. "
Chu Xuanchen said, "Replying to Your Majesty, Zhang Shifan only made a false accusation. At that time, when I was deploying my troops, he tried to obstruct me in every possible way, trying to sabotage the flood-control plan. Later, I found dozens of crimes that he had committed against the people. As a governor, he was corrupt, took bribes, seized farmland, killed innocent people, and dared to disrespect the imperial sword bestowed by Your Majesty. He looked down on Your Majesty, had no regard for law and discipline, led the officials to rebel, and even wanted to assassinate me. That was why I killed him on the spot! "
Hongyuan Emperor had already known about this. He thought to himself, 'This Chu Xuanchen really has guts, daring to kill Zhang Shifan.
But this Zhang Shifan was Su Ming's man. To prevent Su Ming's power from growing, such a person should be killed. '
When Su Ming heard this, his eyes had already narrowed.
He glared coldly at Chu Xuanchen, a trace of resentment and killing intent flashing through his eyes.
Zhang Shifan was his man, and Chu Xuanchen didn't give him any face at all. He was clearly cutting off his wings.
Just wait, he won't let him go. '
Hongyuan Emperor looked at Chu Xuanchen and said, "I bestowed you with the imperial sword to deter the rebels. In Jiangzhou, you have the power to decide life and death. Zhang Shifan looked down on the imperial power and formed a clique for personal gain. Such a traitor deserves to die! As for the other people who are involved in the case, I will send people to investigate. As for the prefectural magistrate, Su Cheng, I will spare his life on account of his timely repentance and meritorious service in reporting the case. I will only remove him from his post and let him retire to his hometown. "
"Your Majesty is wise," everyone said.
