I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 115: Indeed, it's a miracle

An empty room in the underground of the Yan Prince's Mansion.

There were no windows, and it was dim without any light.

Chu Shao sat on a chair and did not torture Bai Lidan.

She just lit a candle in the darkness.

Because there was no wind here, the candle flame stood still, condensed into a tear-like red shadow."What's your name?"

Chu Shao smiled at Bai Lidan, her voice very light.

Bai Lidan didn't hesitate for a moment: "To answer the Princess's question, my surname is Bai, my given name is Lidan, and I am a person from Quzhao Country."

Chu Shao looked at Bai Lidan's profile under the candlelight: "Is that so? But I didn't ask you which country you are from, why did you answer?"

Bai Lidan was taken aback.

"Or is it that Doctor Bai knows that your identity is fake and cannot be checked within the territory of Qi Country, so you informed me in advance so that I can be prepared?"

Chu Shao propped her chin and smiled slightly.

Bai Lidan had lived for so many years and would not suddenly change his expression just because of Chu Shao's words.

He told her his identity in a straightforward manner.

He just looked nervous and pleaded: "Princess, I am indeed from Quzhao Country, and Doctor Su can testify for me."

Chu Shao smiled at Bai Lidan and said something irrelevant: "But I feel like Doctor Bai's voice is familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before."

Now, Bai Lidan was really nervous.

Years ago, he was sent to Yao Country by the Qi imperial family to develop poisons with Su Tan, in order to secretly split the internal affairs of Yao Country.

He had seen Chu Shao before, and he had seen her twice.

But the first time she was still young, and she shouldn't have too much impression of him.

And the second time, he had changed his appearance and did not show his true face.

Therefore, Chu Shao was even less likely to recognize him.

Bai Lidan coughed twice and shook his head, saying, "I am just a small doctor. How can I make the Princess feel familiar? I am honored beyond words."

Chu Shao looked at him, slightly frowned.

Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, a series of sounds of carriage wheels rolling over the floor tiles came from behind her.

She turned her head and, surrounded by a group of maids and guards, met Xiao Jin's gaze.

In fact, in Chu Shao's calculation, Xiao Jin should not appear at this time. 

It should be a little later, a little later.

This way, she could change into a less bloody-smelling clothing and use incense to dispel the alcohol smell on her body.

However, unfortunately, Xiao Jin appeared one step earlier, so Chu Shao could only stand up and smile softly, "Your Highness, you're back."

Xiao Jin nodded, but in her heart, she always had a feeling that something was wrong.

Chu Shao seemed absent-minded, after all, her bright eyes were full of spirit, but the other party seemed to have not noticed.

After a moment, Chu Shao withdrew from her own world and realized that something was not right.

Under the candlelight, Xiao Jin's eyes were like melted snow, flowing quietly in the fire.
