Karon asked Zorro to "monitor" Xia Lin's whereabouts and report his movements at any time. "Your Majesty, the lady has arrived at the palace gate!"
"Received! Start the operation now!" Karon immediately ordered a very pretty maid to bring him a cup of coffee.
The fair - skinned and buxom beauty wore a proper smile on her face. She slowly and carefully carried the coffee towards Karon. Logically, Karon should have quietly waited for the maid to place the coffee on the table and then pick it up. But for the sake of the plan, Karon reached out in advance to take the coffee on the tray. He had deliberately rigged it, so the coffee spilled on the ground, and a lot of the scalding liquid splashed on the maid's hand.
"Ah! It's so hot!" The maid let out a cry of pain. Her professional training prevented her from dropping the tray.
Karon grabbed her hand. Remembering Zorro's hint that he must act realistically, he forced a rather gentle smile at the maid. "Are you okay? Does it hurt badly?"
Oh my god! Although she was one of His Majesty's personal maids, His Majesty had never treated her so gently before. The maid blushed shyly, her heart fluttering like a little deer. Unwarranted fantasies welled up in her heart: Was His Majesty going to take her as a concubine? Did His Majesty finally appreciate her beauty? It made sense. Although the queen was very good - looking and cute, he was, after all, a man. Maybe His Majesty wanted to experience the tenderness of a soft woman?
Thinking of this, the maid deliberately showed a charming and alluring smile and said sweetly, "Your Majesty, I... I'm okay."
Karon's inner thought: Why does she suddenly make such a disgusting voice and show such a strange expression? Forget it. Xiaolin will be at the door soon. I still need this woman!
So Karon forced himself to hold the maid's hand more gently and said with a worried look, "Your hand is all red from the burn. Make sure to use the spray when you get back, okay?"
Just then, Xia Lin walked to the office door, opened it, and heard these words. He also saw Karon holding the maid's hand with a concerned look on his face.
Xia Lin immediately became expressionless. "Your Majesty, may I ask why you summoned me here?"
For some reason, when Karon met Xia Lin's eyes, he immediately let go of the maid's hand guiltily. "You... you may leave first."
The maid noticed Karon's suddenly cold attitude towards her, but she thought it was just because His Majesty wanted to give the queen some face now that the queen had come!
His Majesty still liked her. Maybe it wouldn't be long before she could become His Majesty's concubine! A sweet feeling welled up in her heart. The maid left in a daze. Zorro swallowed hard, shrank his neck, and slipped away secretly!
Damn Zorro, such a jerk! Just you wait! Karon cursed Zorro in his heart for being so unrighteous!
But soon, Karon had no time to care about Zorro. Xia Lin walked up to him step by step. It was the first time he saw Xia Lin treat him with such a cold attitude.
"You like that sexy and pretty maid just now." Although his tone was calm, Xia Lin was boiling with anger inside. He had heard Karon talking gently to a woman outside the door, and he had felt extremely restless at that time. However, he reminded himself to see the situation with his own eyes to stay calm. But what he saw was even more ambiguous. Karon was so close to that maid and was holding her hand tightly!
