My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 394 Love-struck Brains are a Disease, and I Don’t Want a Cure! 1

Ye Siyuan was anxious, fearing Si Mingjing wouldn’t agree!

She was concerned about Crown Prince Lisao’s safety.

"Mingjing, Crown Prince Lisao’s status is special. If he were assassinated in Yecheng, those unaware might think my brother was the mastermind. If that led to war between our countries... Therefore, we should fulfill our duties as hosts and properly protect Crown Prince Lisao. Wouldn’t you agree?"

"Alright."

Si Mingjing knew her brother, the Crown Prince, wouldn’t rest until he achieved his goal. She just didn’t know what he truly intended by insisting on staying at the palace.

Crown Prince Lisao smiled faintly, raising his face to look at Si Mingjing. "Thank you, my dear sister. I can’t argue with such hospitality, so I shall graciously accept your kindness."

Si Mingjing desperately wanted to rip that scheming smile off his face.

Wounded and exhausted from the long journey, Crown Prince Lisao put down his teacup and stood up. "My dear sister, I’d like to rest now."

Si Mingjing instructed the butler to arrange a guest room.

Ye Siyuan quickly interjected, "No need, no need! I’ll make the arrangements for Crown Prince Lisao."

Ye Siyuan invited Crown Prince Lisao upstairs.

Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe’s bedrooms were on the second floor, so Ye Siyuan took Crown Prince Lisao to the third floor, pushing open the door of the finest bedroom there.

"Crown Prince Lisao, please make do with this room for tonight. I’ve arranged for your attendants to stay on the floor below. Is that alright?"

"You have my thanks."

Upon entering the bedroom, Crown Prince Lisao removed his suit jacket, unsure where to place it.

"Give it to me. I’ll find a hanger and hang it up for you."

Crown Prince Lisao handed his suit jacket to Ye Siyuan, his voice composed. "Thank you."

After hanging up his suit, Ye Siyuan went to fetch a pair of slippers.

"Crown Prince Lisao, please change into these slippers. I’ll bring you a set of toiletries; just wait here for a moment."

Ye Siyuan’s service was meticulous, considering every detail to ensure there wasn’t the slightest lapse in hospitality.

Once Ye Siyuan left, Crown Prince Lisao’s composure waned. He walked over to the bed, sat down, stacked two pillows, and leaned against them, the long journey having clearly taken its toll.

An attendant came in, concerned. "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Crown Prince Lisao waved his hand. "I’m fine. Tonight, conduct a thorough search, focusing on the West Garden where she lives."

"Understood."

The attendant, acknowledging his orders, then said, "Your Highness, could you be overly cautious? The person who attempted to assassinate you might not necessarily harm Ye Siyuan. Moreover, the Ye Family’s palace is heavily guarded. With Mo Yinhe present, who could possibly harm his beloved sister right under his nose?"

Crown Prince Lisao’s face darkened. "Better safe than sorry."

At that moment, Ye Siyuan’s footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Ye Siyuan brought a set of fine toiletries she had pilfered from her brother’s bathroom—brand new and unopened.

Crown Prince Lisao, who had been weakly leaning against the pillows, sat up straight and gestured. "You may leave. When in another’s home, follow their rules and don’t wander about."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The attendant bowed respectfully and, before leaving, added to Ye Siyuan, "Third Princess, His Highness hasn’t fully recovered and developed a high fever on the way to Yecheng. Although the fever has subsided, the Imperial Physician said it might return tonight. This is antipyretic medicine. Please sleep in the room next to His Highness so you can attend to him if necessary."

The attendant deliberately placed the antipyretic medicine on the bedside table, intending to keep Ye Siyuan from returning to her quarters in the West Garden that night.

Si Lisao shot the attendant a cold look. "Meddlesome."

The attendant flinched.

Seeing the antipyretic medicine, Ye Siyuan grew even more concerned about Si Lisao’s health and quickly said, "It’s fine, it’s fine! I’ll stay in the next room tonight."

Si Lisao refused. "There’s no need for such trouble. If your brother finds out, he might think I’m treating you like a servant."

"It’s okay! My brother isn’t home tonight. He recently accompanied my sister-in-law back to A Country and has a mountain of official duties piled up that he hasn’t dealt with. He’s gone back to the Royal Palace to take care of official business and won’t be back tonight. Besides, you’re the guest, and I’m the host. As the host, it’s my duty to take good care of my guests."

Si Lisao didn’t speak, his gaze deepening as he looked at her.

His ruse to lure the tiger from the mountain successful, the attendant immediately said, "Thank you, Princess."

With that, the attendant withdrew.

When Si Mingjing heard that Si Lisao’s injuries were so severe that even Ye Siyuan had to sleep on the third floor, she sensed something was amiss and went upstairs to inquire.

As expected, Ye Siyuan had settled into the room next door.

She was in the bathroom, taking a bath and, crucially, washing her hair!!!

"Sister-in-law, wait for me! I’ll come out after I’ve washed my hair."

Si Mingjing pressed her forehead. "Siyuan, don’t you find this strange?"

"What’s strange?"

Ye Siyuan was completely love-struck right now!

"Why did Si Lisao suddenly decide to stay? This is very strange. He’s not the type to stay at other people’s houses, and he certainly wouldn’t let you stay next door to care for him. An unmarried man and woman... you need to calm down. If your brother finds out about this, there’s no telling how displeased he’ll be with me."

Mo Yinhe wouldn’t allow Siyuan to get close to Si Lisao. If Mo Yinhe discovered she had permitted them to stay on the third floor, he would definitely blame her.

Mo Yinhe cherished his only sister.

In the bathroom, Ye Siyuan lathered her hair, washing it vigorously.

"You’re overthinking it, Sister-in-law. He was the victim of an assassination attempt; I heard about it. I used to stay in Mu Continent and was friendly with one of his servants. The servant called me personally to say he was seriously injured, and the culprit still hasn’t been caught."

Si Mingjing knew Ye Siyuan wouldn’t listen.

"Besides, my brother would never dare to show you his displeasure. He’s such a ruthless and decisive person, always resolute in his actions, yet he can’t bring himself to say a harsh word to you. Mingjing, did you know that when my brother was five, he shot a suzerain king dead at our mother’s coronation ceremony?"

"What?"

This? How could Si Mingjing possibly know about that?

"At that time, my mother had just ascended to the throne as Queen, but she was a figurehead without actual power. Atlantis was then a federal system, divided into over a dozen suzerain states, each with autonomous governance. They came to the Imperial Capital for my mother’s coronation but didn’t truly recognize her queenship.

At the state banquet, my brother shot the leading troublemaker dead with a single bullet. He also dispatched over a hundred military submarines to patrol the waters above the undersea Imperial Capital. His message was clear: anyone who dared cause trouble at my mother’s coronation would be sent packing!

Back then, all the influential figures in the Imperial Capital called my brother an untouchable little devil!

Compared to then, my brother has really mellowed out a lot now!

Of course, he’s now the Crown Prince with real authority; he manages all state affairs. My mother is a hands-off queen, leaving everything to my brother. So, he can’t be as willful as before. He must consider everything carefully and act with deliberation.

Truthfully, Crown Prince Lisao is the same. The King of Mu Continent has never shown his face publicly; Si Lisao manages everything there. People in their high positions are extremely cautious and would never act recklessly. You should go to bed and not worry."

If Crown Prince Lisao actually dared to make a move on her, she’d be laughing in her dreams!
