Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter-Chapter 522 - 521: No One Lives to Adulthood _1
Chapter 522: Chapter 521: No One Lives to Adulthood _1
The Little Prince was satisfied, his big eyes shining brightly. He picked up the gift box from the small table by the window and handed it to Sister.
“Sister, the Western Region Loulan has sent a tribute of precious rose tea. Xuan’er knows that Sister likes flower tea, so I specially reserved a portion for you.”
“Xuan’er is so well-behaved, always thinking of Sister.”
Lin Qingluo took the gift box and opened it in front of him, pinching a dried rose made by a secret method and lifting it to her nose for a sniff.
The elegant floral scent rushed into her nostrils, making one feel refreshed and delighted.
“It smells so good.”
She couldn’t help but smile, her eyebrows and eyes bending.
The Little Prince was also very happy: “If Sister likes it, when Loulan has more tributes to offer, Xuan’er will save them for Sister again.”
“Alright.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows and eyes curved, and she put the gift box into the Storage Ring, dotingly pinching the Little Prince’s soft cheeks.
As her fingertips slid down, she felt the smooth touch and subconsciously applied a little more force, leaving two pink fingerprints.
The Little Prince felt a bit of pain and protested while covering his cheeks, “Sister is teasing Xuan’er again.”
His cute and adorable expression was as always, making people feel very happy.
“Hehe.”
Lin Qingluo laughed, revealing her teeth but not her eyes, and eagerly reached out again.
“Hmph, I won’t play with you.”
The Little Prince scrunched up his little nose and puffed out his cheeks, looking unbearably proud and arrogant.
“Alright, Sister won’t pinch anymore.”
Lin Qingluo catered to his feelings, reluctantly giving up her plan to pinch again.

Empress’s sleeping quarters.
Noble Lord’s eyelids were slightly red, and his misty eyes brimmed with unshed tears. Under the reflection of the candlelight, anyone would find themselves feeling heartache.
The Empress’s face was gloomy, her fierce gaze seeming to want to kill, but she couldn’t bring herself to be angry at the stunningly beautiful face of Noble Lord.
“Is it true, as you say, that the Prince has awakened the Wu Clan’s unique abilities and is at risk of an early death?”
“Yes.”
Noble Lord’s eyes were dim, not wanting to look at the gloomy face of the Empress.
The Empress was full of irritation and resentfully asked, “Does the daughter of the Lin Clan possess the ability to refine Longevity Pills? Can she extend the Prince’s life?”
Noble Lord’s eyelids drooped slightly: “In this world, there is no one else who can refine the Longevity Pill, other than her.”
“Xinzi, how can you be so sure?”
The Empress frowned discontentedly, “I am willing to spend a lot of money to invite them, and there will be experts from Immortal Sects who want to help. I don’t need to put the Prince’s life in the hands of an underage girl.
“Moreover, this girl is the daughter of the Lin Clan, the one who is most likely to threaten the Crown Princess’ position.”
Those so-called experts from Immortal Sects are nothing more than charlatans in Jianghu!
They couldn’t even figure out where the Divine Doctor was, let alone refine the Longevity Pill.
Noble Lord secretly sneered, his thick and long eyelashes quivering, hiding the disdain that flashed through his eyes.
“Xinzi, does the Great Elder of your Wu Clan know of any seal for the special powers, to suppress the Prince’s abilities?”
Seeing that the Noble Lord was not answering, the Empress patiently asked again, “Or, is there any secret technique to prolong a person’s life?”
“No.”
Mentioning the Great Elder of the Wu Clan brought dark and lightless memories of his childhood to Noble Lord’s mind. His eyes were darkened, filled with indescribable hatred.
“Is there really no other way?”
The Empress exclaimed, her anger rising, “I am not willing to entrust the Prince’s life to the daughter of the Lin Clan.”
“Your Majesty, you are not willing?”
Noble Lord gave a desolate smile, tinged with a touch of mockery, “The Wu Clan has had unique abilities since the ancient times, but there have been few who have awakened the power of foresight. No matter male or female, none have ever lived to adulthood, dying at the tender age of sixteen or seventeen, when one’s life is in its prime.”
