Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"Father, monks can still resume a secular life," Francis reminded his father in a low voice. "Besides, like the sun up in the air, Master Chodak has the love and support of the people. If he resumes a secular life, he could be a formidable enemy. But if he becomes secular and marries a princess of the Bright Dynasty, he would be a powerful source of support."

The emperor's eyes lit up upon the advice. This idea had also occurred to him before, and he had even encouraged Lilian to get along with Chodak. However, to his disappointment, Lilian had totally failed, even though she was eager and willing. She had been unable to get into bed with Chodak to ensnare him into marriage. She wasn't even able to get close to him.

"Lilian can't get close to him."

"Father, sometimes you don't understand Lilian," Francis said, coughing from his illness.

"Bring a chair for Francis," the emperor ordered.

And

d and rushed directly into the sedan chair, huddling up to Francis. "Thank you very much, Francis. I haven't slept well nowadays. Let me take a nap first. When we arrive, please wake me up."

"That's fine. Get some sleep now," Francis said, looking at Lilian, who put her head on his shoulder innocently, without the least bit of apprehension. The expression on his face didn't change. He tried his best to keep his raspy breathing and coughing down, so as not to disturb the sleeping Lilian.

Holding Francis' arm in hers, with her head on his shoulder, Lilian slept soundly, as if she was exhausted. For the past several days, Monica had kept locking her up in the palace and forced her to embroider her wedding dress, for fear that she would make some trouble outside if she were allowed to roam freely. Lillian knew she would be in trouble later, but she didn't care, and now she slept as soundly as a baby.
