Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Seeing Feng Xuanyuan’s deeply stinging appearance, Lord Xu vigilantly pulled Yu Linglong in his arms behind him, and said in a deep voice, “Feng Xuanyuan, what are you doing?”

Feng Xuanyuan slowly withdrew his hand and stood up straight . He didn’t seem to hear Lord Xu’s words . He only looked at Yu Linglong . His voice was filled with irrepressible despair: “Yu’er, you really don’t want to stay?”

Her little hand held Lord Xu’s hand tightly . Yu Linglong nodded firmly, then turned around and stood with Lord Xu, unwilling to say a word to him .

Lord Xu’s big hands held her back, but his eyes were fixed on Feng Xuanyuan all the time . Obviously, Yu Linglong was not in danger, and he had no worries about the future .

On his handsome face, there was a disharmonious coldness, and Lord Xu solemnly shouted: “Feng Xuanyuan, do you know how serious it is to kidnap the princess!?”

Holding Yu Linglong tightly with his big hands, he exposed his worries at the moment . He didn’t dare to think about how she would be hurt if something went wrong just now!?

Feeling his tension at the moment, Yu Linglong patted his hand lightly and signaled him to rest assured that she had indeed taken a dangerous move just now, but subconsciously, she didn’t think Feng Xuanyuan would hurt her .

Although just now, his hand was on the fatal point of her body, only she knew that there was no strength in his hand, and the threatening appearance was just for Lord Xu .

There were countless Blue Lotus Cultists behind him . In their eyes, she was the noble and incomparable Blue Lotus Saint . How could Feng Xuanyuan attack her?

Whether it was in private or public, Feng Xuanyuan would not hurt her .

She could guess Feng Xuanyuan’s mind and use his feelings, but between Feng Xuanyuan and Lord Xu, she could only choose Lord Xu .

She couldn’t make him be sad for her again .

Looking at the pair of lovers in front of him, Feng Xuanyuan’s mouth formed a complicated curve, as if he was sneering and laughing at himself .

Lowering his voice, Feng Xuanyuan’s voice was dull like never before, softly repeating the words of Lord Xu: “Princess? Princess…”

He seemed to be talking to himself, but he seemed to be asking him to confirm her current identity .

She was the princess, the woman of Yu Lieyang, not the ordinary woman who saved his life and was arrogant and indifferent to him .

Things were impermanent, and he once had the opportunity to express his feelings to her, but he was too confident and believed that one day, she would belong to him .

However, she did not wait for him where she was . Standing in front of him at this moment, she and another man were holding hands, standing side by side, looking at him, their eyes full of hostility .

It turned out that he was one step too late, and he was late for a lifetime .

In the mountain wind, the three figures stood opposite each other, but there were no more words .

At this moment, a crisp and innocent voice suddenly sounded behind Feng Xuanyuan . In the silence, this voice seemed extremely abrupt .

“Saint, where are you going?”

Feng Xuanyuan’s figure moved slightly unconsciously, but he didn’t turn his head back, Yu Linglong looked at the person who was talking, but was slightly startled .

It was a five or six-year-old boy who was being held by a young woman dressed in blue clothes . He tilted his head and looked at Yu Linglong, his big eyes full of curiosity .

“My mother said when the saint comes down, we will have a good life, is it true?”

Hearing the child’s innocent words, his mother was shocked, and quickly pulled the child to kneel on the ground, and said while trembling: “The child is ignorant, please forgive me . ”

The boy was dragged to his knees, but he still raised his head to look at Yu Linglong, with a dazed little face on his face: “Saint, are you leaving now?”

Seeing the child’s innocent eyes, Yu Linglong didn’t know what to say for a while .

The boy reminded those Blue Lotus Cultists who had been following Feng Xuanyuan . They knelt on the ground one after another, calling out in unison: “Saint!”

No one said any more, but everyone was looking at Yu Linglong, with pleading expressions in their eyes .

She was their faith, their hope, and the god they prayed for all their lives .

At this moment, Yu Linglong had pursed her lips, but she seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn’t say it anymore .

She didn’t want to see so many pairs of hopeful eyes lose their brilliance because of her refusal . Even if her heart was like a stone, she didn’t want to let so many people’s hopes burst instantly like a bubble .

Cruelly, she turned around resolutely and walked down the mountain with Lord Xu .

Her cherry lips slightly opened, and she said in a voice that could only be heard by Lord Xu: “Don’t hurt them . ”

Holding her big hand tightly, Lord Xu paused for a while before he solemnly agreed: “Okay . ”

Looking at her decisive back, a low sob sounded from the crowd kneeling on the ground, with a bit of despair and a bit of sorrow .

Feng Xuanyuan’s low voice sounded behind her: “The saint has mundane matters to deal with, so she has to leave temporarily . ”

Even if she didn’t look back, Yu Linglong could feel Feng Xuanyuan’s sharp gaze, like a light on her back, piercing her deeply .

His confident voice echoed in the mountain wind, with an overwhelming chill .

“…Soon, she will return to us . ”

Everyone heard what he said, including Lord Xu and Yu Linglong of course .

Lord Xu ignored Feng Xuanyuan, but when he heard what he said, the big hand holding Yu Linglong suddenly increased in strength, as if he was afraid that Feng Xuanyuan would come up to grab her in the next moment .

Feeling his domineering hand strength, Yu Linglong raised her head . Her glamorous face showed a smile that signaled his peace of mind, and she said softly: “You hurt me . ”

Seeing her delicate appearance, Lord Xu’s hand was loosened, but the coldness on his handsome face remained undiminished . With his big hand tightly around her waist, he took her to the horse with a light leap .

Hundreds of dark guards were all expressionless and didn’t even move . If it weren’t for the mountain breeze blowing their clothes, people would almost think they were a group of sculptures .

In the mountains and forests, some spring flowers have quietly bloomed, and these black figures stood in the mountain flowers, looking out of place, full of a solemn atmosphere .

Putting Yu Linglong firmly in her arms, Lord Xu gave a solemn order: “Go . ”

The mounts swiftly walked . The secret guards were agile, and in a blink of an eye, they disappeared into the mountains and forests, like a black tide, retreating cleanly without a trace .

This was the secret guard of the royal family, silent and terrifying .

Looking at Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a gloomy look at the bottom of her narrow eyes .

Yu’er, I won’t just give up on you like this!

…

He wrapped a large cloak around her tightly, holding her slender body tightly in his arms . She leaned on his warm and solid chest, feeling extremely relieved .

The horse galloped, and the sound of the wind whistling in her ears made her tender cheeks tingle slightly . She moved her body, and just as she was about to say something, she felt his big hand tighten and press her closer .

His sturdy chin rested on the top of her head . His breath was heavy and his voice was low: “Don’t move . ”

With just two words, she could feel his suppressed anger . Yu Linglong felt a little strange, but after all she decided to obey him, sat on the horse obediently, let him hold the reins, and rode all the way to the capital .

On the way, he didn’t say a word . He just hugged her tightly, as if only in this way, he could be relieved .

The early morning sun shone on the tall and heavy city walls . Outside the city gate, there were long lines of carriages and horses preparing to enter the city, waiting for the inspection by the soldiers at the gate .

Lord Xu didn’t pay attention to the soldiers who were investigating the people . Holding the horse’s rein, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and he went straight to the city gate .

“Who is it? Stop!” The soldiers on guard clenched their red tasseled spears vigilantly, making a gesture to stop .

It was just that their movements weren’t as quick as Lord Xu’s mounts . In a blink of an eye, the tall horses already rushed through the barriers and rushed straight into the city .

“Grab—” The headed officer uttered this word and stopped his speech abruptly .

The long wind filled the man’s black robe, and on the corners of his clothes, the sharp silver light flashed under the sunlight, almost stinging their eyes .

That couldn’t be……

The guards looked at each other and didn’t dare to say another word, as if they were afraid that their loud voices would annoy the black men immediately .

Although they hadn’t seen the legendary royal guard, with the mysterious black clothes, the symbolic silver eagle, and the brutal murderousness of the people immediately were enough to stop them .

Ignoring the startled gazes of everyone along the way, Lord Xu galloped and rushed straight to the door of the Xu mansion before swiftly stopping .

Taking Yu Linglong off the horse, Lord Xu stepped into the palace .

“I can walk by myself…”

Yu Linglong had just said such a word, and when she raised her eyes, she saw his stern face .

She had never seen him look like this . Even in the days when she didn’t know his identity, his eyes under the mask had never had such emotions .

At this moment, his warm eyes no longer had the same temperature as usual, like the endless night, surging with blizzard-like anger, with the power to sweep everything, about to break through the final calm and reason .

Yu Linglong was taken aback for a moment . What was wrong with him? Wasn’t she right here? Why was he still in a terrifying appearance as if she shouldn’t get close to him?

He held her tightly with his big hands, and he had a cold look on his face . He rushed to the inner courtyard, and this scene was naturally extremely terrifying in the eyes of the next person .

“Prince, princess…” Butler Zhao led a group of servants and guarded carefully at the gate .

“Doctor!” Lord Xu dropped a sentence without looking back and entered the inner courtyard with Yu Linglong in his arms .

When he heard him speak, Butler Zhao and others were relieved, and immediately got busy: “Please get a doctor, go get a doctor!”

“The princess is back, get hot water!”

“What are you doing? Hurry up and prepare breakfast for the master!”

The workers hurriedly prepared separately, and Yu Linglong, who was leaning in the arms of Lord Xu, was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard the chaotic sounds .

It made it seem like she was seriously injured!

Lord Xu held her before entering the yard . Ling’er rushed up: “Princess, are you okay! I am useless—”

Before she finished speaking, Lord Xu roared: “Get out of the way!”

Ling’er was so frightened that she couldn’t speak anymore, and she froze in place .

Lord Xu didn’t even look at Ling’er, and directly took Yu Linglong into the room and gently put her on the bed .

Looking at Ling’er who was kneeling in the yard, Yu Linglong sighed and said, “It’s not her fault . ”

Lord Xu’s eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he said in a deep voice: “She didn’t try her best to protect you . She’s lucky she isn’t getting killed!”

Yu Linglong was speechless . Although Ling’er could fight, after all, she was just a 13-year-old girl . Wasn’t it too difficult for her to protect someone?

Knowing that he was getting angry, Yu Linglong didn’t say much, so she could only lie on the bed obediently and let him carefully tuck in the quilt for her .

It was rare to see her so compliant . Lord Xu didn’t say anything anymore, but his face was still cold and sour as if someone owed him money .

After pouring her a glass of water, he first tested the temperature of the water before feeding it to her personally .

Seeing his careful behavior in her eyes, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but feel a sense of surprise . Was he going to feed her water?

Seeing his slightly awkward movements, Yu Linglong’s heart seemed to be touched by something extremely soft, and she took his big hand and drank water in one mouthful .

After feeding her water, Lord Xu stretched out his hand and wiped the water marks on her lips with his thumb . His face was still angry, but the movements of his hands were very gentle .

The timid voice of Xuan Cao came from outside the door: “Master, the doctor is here . ”

Ling’er was still kneeling in the yard . Who didn’t know that the prince was in a very bad mood . Although Xuan Cao was worried about Yu Linglong’s health, she really didn’t dare to take a step into the room .

“Come in!”

Hearing the cold words of Lord Xu, Xuan Cao hurried into the room with the imperial physician . Taking this opportunity, he couldn’t wait to look at Yu Linglong up and down, confirming that his princess was okay, and he was relieved .

The imperial doctor bowed, put down the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow, and walked to the bed .

Seeing Lord Xu sitting on the side of the bed with a cold face, his whole body exuding bursts of cold, the imperial physician was slightly taken aback, and he was a little at a loss .

Seeing this, Yu Linglong said softly: “Husband, go out and wait . ”

At this time, it was only her who spoke before he could listen .

Hearing her voice, Lord Xu stood up, took a look at the imperial doctor, and walked out the door .

The doctor couldn’t help but shudder with this stare, and he didn’t dare to think about it, so he quickly stepped forward and tried his best to diagnose and treat .

Yu Linglong knew her physical condition, but she didn’t eat, drink, or sleep all night . As long as she had something to eat and rested for a while, she would be fine, but Lord Xu looked concerned, and she had no choice but to let the imperial doctor go through it and give him peace of mind .

It took about fifteen minutes before the imperial physician walked out of the room and said respectfully to Lord Xu, who had been waiting in the corridor, “Thanks to you, prince, the princess’s health is not serious . She will be fine after two or three days of rest . It’s just that there is a little broken skin on her right calf, and some topical ointment is needed…”

Lord Xu’s face was dark . He turned around quickly and stepped into the room .

Yu Linglong was sitting next to the bed, looking at the injury on her calf . Only a little bit of skin was scratched, and she didn’t even notice it . It was probably from being brought up the mountain after being stunned by Feng Xuanyuan .

Seeing the redness and swelling on her calf, Lord Xu’s face was even more ugly . He reached out and grabbed the water basin from the Xuan Cao who had just entered the room, and walked over with it .

Xuan Cao was frightened by Lord Xu . Seeing this situation, she had to quietly leave the room and shut the door smoothly .

In the room, the tall figure of Lord Xu sat on the small footrest, looking a bit nondescript . His big hands carefully held Yu Linglong’s slender ankles . He lifted some water from the basin and slowly washed her wound .

Yu Linglong sighed slightly . It seemed that she had been taken away, and this guy felt guilty, so he would take care of her personally to make her feel a little better .

Seeing his clumsy movements, Yu Linglong’s heart softened and said softly, “I don’t blame you . ”

She really didn’t want to watch this big man blame himself for such a small thing . This little injury was a piece of cake for her, and there was no need to take it to heart .

Hearing what she said, Lord Xu paused slightly and said in a dull voice, “I blame myself!”

He could hardly believe that he would make such a terrible mistake that caused her to disappear all night! If anything happened to her…

He couldn’t think about it, and he didn’t dare to think about it . He could only be sleepless, looking for her all night long, to force himself not to think about the accident that might happen .

Remembering that he once swore to protect her from any harm, but let her be kidnapped because of his negligence, his heart hurt like a knife, and he could barely breathe .

Holding her white ankle in his big hands, he looked at the redness and swelling . Although there was no bleeding, his heart was so hot and painful . Her skin was so flawless, but now she was hurt . It was his poor protection that made her suffer like this .

Seeing the wound on her body, his heart hurts a hundred times more than her wound .

He gently wiped the drops of water around her wound with a kerchief, but he did not dare to touch the water on the wound for fear that it would hurt her accidentally . Lord Xu carefully blew her wound before returning it . In his cold and merciless eyes, the moment is full of distress .

“Does it hurt?” Seeing her hurt, he wished it hurt him, even if it was ten times deeper, he was willing to take it, as long as it didn’t make her hurt, even only a little bit .

Yu Linglong said softly, “It doesn’t hurt . ”

She really didn’t care about this little injury . In her previous life, she suffered much more serious injuries . She survived . This time, she just scratched her calf . It was almost like a tickle .

But she didn’t expect that such a small injury would make him feel so distressed .

Seeing his deep and secluded eyes full of self-blame and heartache, Yu Linglong decided to divert his attention .

Pulling up his big hand and placing it on her flat belly, Yu Linglong smiled and said, “Husband, I’m hungry . ”

Only then did Lord Xu come back to his senses, and carefully put her calf on the bed . He patted her hair, and his face showed a bit of gentleness after being cold all morning .

“What do you want to eat?”

Blinking mischievously, Yu Linglong said, “I want to eat pig trotters . ”

Lord Xu wrinkled his sharp eyebrows, revealing a little suspicion: “Are you sure you want to eat that this morning?”

Yu Linglong pointed to her calf and said with a smile: “Don’t you have to eat something to make up for it? I’ll eat a few trotters, and the injury will be fine . ”

Lord Xu couldn’t help but smile . He knew that she didn’t want him to worry about her, so she didn’t hesitate to demean herself and amuse him . He couldn’t help being moved, and leaned over and put a heavy kiss on her forehead: “Lie down . ”

After striding out of the room, Lord Xu said loudly: “The princess wants to eat pig trotters, go prepare it!”

The maids who had been nervous for most of the day heard the obviously smiling voice of the master and finally relaxed . They didn’t care about how strange the request was . They all agreed and hurriedly prepared .

Yu Linglong lay on the comfortable bed, listening to the familiar sounds outside, and only felt that her tight body finally relaxed, and then gently closed her eyes .

This was the first time she had been so relaxed and comfortable since she came to this place . This feeling was so familiar and unfamiliar, making her almost a little uncertain of what kind of feeling it was .

Warmth, comfort, peace of mind, and the company of your beloved person . This was a sense of belonging, a sense of security, and a sense of relaxation that you never want to leave once you fall into it .

This was the first time that she had a deep understanding of what home was .

This was her home, this was their home . Only here can she feel warm and peaceful .

…

After breakfast, Yu Linglong slept all day and didn’t wake up until dusk .

On the tip of her nose was the scent of mint that was too familiar, and under her head was his solid arm . Leaning against his arms, Yu Linglong slept extremely sweetly .

She moved her body lazily . She didn’t even want to open her eyes, so she arched into his arms again, and her little hand climbed directly on his shoulders, skillfully lifted his shirt, and pressed tightly to his skin .

Across the thin fabric, her face felt the muscles on his chest gradually tighten, and her body temperature gradually became hot . She couldn’t help but smile narrowly, and slowly opened her eyes .

In the dim room, his eyes were shining, staring at her motionlessly .

Seeing her awake, Lord Xu couldn’t help but lower his handsome face, bite her lips fiercely, and plundered her for a moment like punishment, before letting go of her reluctantly .

“You little thing, you can’t even behave in sleep!”

Pursing her mouth and covering the smile on her lips, Yu Linglong gathered the hair around her temples and smiled: “My lord, you are behaving, holding a beauty, motionless . ”

After she finished speaking, she immediately appeared surprised, and her little hand pulled up the quilt, and her face turned pale: “Why is there a snake in the quilt? It’s biting me, let me hit it!”

The brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water was torn off by her, revealing the “spectacular” scene under the quilt . Lord Xu was so angry and amused by her that he grabbed her restless little hand and threw her down on the bed .

“The princess is going to hit a snake? I’m afraid once you try it, and you will never want to hit it again . ”

Yu Linglong’s face was slightly hot, and she subconsciously turned her face away and stopped looking at him: “So shameless!”

Sure enough, men have no limits . What could she say to him?

His deep inky eyes were smiling, and he took her small hand with his big hand and kissed it with his thin lips . Lord Xu deliberately asked: “Why am I shameless, is the princess going to tell me?”

Yu Linglong was speechless . This guy was ruthless .

She quickly changed the subject: “Are you okay today, why haven’t you left all day?”

She was always alert when she slept, but today she didn’t even dream, and she slept very sweetly . She knew that this was because he hadn’t been out for a day, staying by her side, and holding her to sleep motionlessly .

It’s just that she felt a little strange . At this crucial time, Lord Xu had just been named the leader of the army . How could he be so leisurely and didn’t have to go out for a day?

With a big hand stroking her smooth skin, he leaned down and kissed her earlobes, licking teasingly with the tip of his tongue . His voice was full of burning desire, and he whispered: “You are more important . ”

He did not answer her question, but with such a sentence, he prevented her from trying to divert his attention .

In her ear was his soft kiss mixed with his scorching breath . Yu Linglong couldn’t help but take a deep breath: “Hmm…”

Hearing this sound in his ears, it was tantamount to a suggestion of encouragement . He moved his hand to her waist, explored inside her underclothes, and wandered around wantonly .

Two red clouds floated on her delicate cheeks, which became more alluring in the dim light . He couldn’t help lowering his head, kissing her slightly parted cherry lips, and lightly tracing the shape of her lips . His seductive voice whispered her name: “Linglong, my Linglong…”

Yu Linglong only felt that her whole body was hot and unbearable, and she could hardly feel everything outside her body . She just responded selflessly to him, her pink and soft lips entangled with him actively, as if she wanted more .

Seeing her coquettish appearance, Lord Xu couldn’t bear it anymore, and with his big hands, he tore off the shackles on both of their bodies, and couldn’t wait to start attacking the city and looting the land .

His heavy kisses rained down on her cheeks, lips, and behind her ears, as if he wished to eat her into her abdomen and melt into her bones and blood .

After a while, it was completely dark and the room became quiet .

The late spring night was still a bit cold, but there was no coldness in the room . The air was filled with an exquisite smell, mixed with the residual odor after it subsided .

Lying on the pillow, Yu Linglong only felt that all her strength seemed to be exhausted, and she didn’t even want to move .

As if protesting against her laziness, a few cooing sounds suddenly came out from her stomach, which was especially obvious in the dark .

Gently kissing a drop of crystal sweat from her delicate collarbone, Lord Xu’s eyes were bright and narrow: “What, is the princess not full yet?”

Her hot cheeks rose a few degrees again, and Yu Linglong swallowed and said, “You are shameless, you are shameless!”

Lord Xu laughed and kissed her a few more times before he got up: “Well, let’s get up first . If we are still not full, we can eat more after dinner!”

Yu Linglong moved slightly, only feeling sore in her waist, she couldn’t help frowning her eyebrows and sighed helplessly .

This guy was too much, why did he work so hard?

Sensitively aware of her feelings, Lord Xu immediately stepped forward to support her, his handsome face a little nervous: “What, are you uncomfortable?”

He had just put on his robe, and before he could tie it, Yu Linglong looked up and saw his shirt half untied and his chest bare .

In the dim light coming through the window, the long hair of the man in front of her was scattered randomly on his shoulders, his solid chest was shining with a faint light, and his deep eyes looked like the dark night, which made her fall into his gaze and never want to come out of it .

Yu Linglong couldn’t help sighing . This guy really looked more and more beautiful, even she was nearly love-struck .

Yu Linglong put one hand on her waist, and put the other on her bare chest and said, “You only have yourself to blame!”

Looking at her shy and infinite appearance, and then at her squeezed waist, Lord Xu still didn’t understand . His handsome face couldn’t help smiling, and he whispered in her ear, “I will make up for you at night, how about it?”

Seeing his mischievous appearance, Yu Linglong feigned anger and pushed his hand away . Why was he still thinking such dirty thoughts!?

The two of them laughed and she finally got up from the bed . She asked the maid to come in to fetch water to clean up and then ordered the kitchen to cook dinner .

After dinner, Yu Linglong asked Xuan Cao to make a pot of tea before talking to Lord Xu about the Blue Lotus Cult .

Yu Linglong roughly told him the story of being kidnapped . Lord Xu had a burst of anger, and his big hands clenched tightly . It seemed that if he saw Feng Xuanyuan at this moment, he would be able to smash him into thousands of pieces .

“…It’s a pity that I didn’t get the dagger back,” Yu Linglong said in a daze . Although Lord Xu had given her a lot of things, her favorite was the dagger that had been with her for a long time, and she also relied on it . With the help of the dagger, she was able to overcome danger many times .

Lord Xu took her shoulders and comforted her: “Forget it . If you like it, I will find a good one to give it to you another day . ”

Obviously, he did not take the dagger to the heart . His attention was completely focused on another matter: “I only know that the jade pendant is a token of the Blue Lotus Cult and represents the status of the wearer in the Blue Lotus Cult . But I didn’t expect that that piece of jade pendant turned out to be a symbol of the Blue Lotus saint . ”

With deep eyes looking at the jumping candlelight, Lord Xu looked thoughtful: “Why did Feng Xuanyuan choose you?”

Yu Linglong was also a little puzzled . After thinking about it, she said, “He is a man who is arrogant and does whatever he wants . Maybe all this is just a coincidence . ”

Lord Xu slowly shook his head . His expression was very solemn: “Feng Xuanyuan is a man with a public appearance, but in fact, he is thoughtful and acts viciously . It was really inevitable . ”

Especially since this matter also involved her, he couldn’t take it lightly .

Could it be that Feng Xuanyuan had taken a fancy to the identity of Princess Xu Linglong Xu, and wanted to use her to attack him? It was impossible . According to Yu Linglong’s statement, Feng Xuanyuan had given her this jade pendant to Yu Linglong long ago . Even if Feng Xuanyuan really planned it, it would be impossible to predict .

Could it be…

Lord Xu couldn’t help but sink when he thought of that possibility .

According to the teachings of the Blue Lotus Cult, the leader of the Blue Lotus Cult and the saint could be combined . Did Feng Xuanyuan choose Yu Linglong with this thought in mind?

Thinking of Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes while looking at Yu Linglong, Lord Xu’s face became cold .

How did he allow others to covet his woman!?

Seeing his erratic face, Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows lightly: “What?”

Lord Xu slowly released his clasped hands, and said in a deep voice, “You have to be more careful when you encounter Feng Xuanyuan in the future . ”

Looking at his solemn face, Yu Linglong nodded: “I know, don’t worry . ”

Lord Xu sighed, took her into his arms, and said, “I will try my best not to leave you . ”

His thin lips touched her fragrant hair, and he whispered: “If possible, I really want to give up everything and return to the mountains and forests with you . I will only have you, and you will only have me, and we will live a peaceful life . ”

Yu Linglong leaned on his chest and said softly: “One day, one day . ”

The bright candlelight leaped, projecting the two cuddling figures on the window paper, which seemed so intimate .

…

At the same time, a completely different scene was staged in the palace .

A crescent moon shone on the roofs and gargoyles and sprinkled a cold and hazy brilliance on the tall vermilion walls . At this moment, the palace seemed mysterious and secluded . No one could imagine that a vicious conspiracy was brewing here .

The humongous palace was a dazzling sight, and the air was filled with a deep aroma of agar, but it didn’t give anyone a sense of peace and tranquility .

Walking onto the carpet made of peacock feathers and golden silk, his face was a little confused . His big eyes lifted, and his gaze fell on the noble and elegant figure behind the pearl bead curtain, and his voice hesitated: “Aunt . ”

A soft voice sounded behind the bead curtain, with a faint smile: “Lin’er, come here . ”

Gan Lin walked forward and said in a low voice: “I don’t know if my aunt told me, what’s the order? The palace gate is almost closed, I should go back . ”

The queen didn’t say a word . She seemed to be looking at him carefully through the bead curtain . Her eyes fell on him, and Gan Lin only felt a little uncomfortable .

After a long while, a low sigh came out from the curtain: “Lin’er, I haven’t seen you these days, why have you lost so much weight?”

Gan Lin slowly lowered his head without answering .

Who didn’t know what he was thinking about? The woman he liked was married to someone else . He was a young man in love, how could he not be wasting away .

Seeing that he was silent, the queen sighed deeply and said earnestly: “Lin’er, you are the only son of my Gan family . You have a great future ahead . You must not ruin your body over a woman . ”

Gan Lin agreed in a low voice: “Yes, I’ll remember . ”

Even he himself couldn’t believe if he was able to get out of this blow and continue to be a carefree and happy young son .

Hearing his lack of confidence, the queen said with a bit of hatred: “There are so many women in the world, why did you just fall in love with her? You are really…”

The queen stopped talking as if she couldn’t bear to blame him anymore .

Gan Lin stood quietly in the center of the hall, but he didn’t deny it, and she didn’t know what he was thinking .

After a long time, the queen suddenly asked: “Lin’er, do you really like her?”

Seeing a glimmer of hope in her voice, Gan Lin suddenly raised her head: “Aunt, do you have a plan?”

The queen said coldly: “There are no plans in this palace, she has been married as Princess Xu, she is a married woman . ”

The hope in Gan Lin’s eyes was shattered . He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly under the light of the palace lantern, and he whispered: “The aunt asked what I am doing these days, but nothing I say is of any use .

He regretted it very much . If he told his aunt earlier, maybe his aunt would make the marriage for him, and he would be able to be with her, but now, it was too late .

In the empty palace, the queen’s voice was a little low: “Lin’er, don’t give up now . ”

Gan Lin smiled bitterly, and his big beautiful eyes were full of loss: “If it was someone else, it would be fine, but she…”

How could he forget her? He would never forget the girl who reached out to him in the dark . She gave him endless courage .

His voice lowered, floating in the empty hall, barely audible: “But she is different in my heart . ”

Seeing this self-suffering man, the queen sighed, with a depressed tone in her voice: “Lin’er, I’m asking you, will you never give up on her no matter what?”

Gan Lin didn’t understand the queen’s meaning for a while, thinking that she just wanted to test his sincerity, so he replied resolutely: “Yes! Aunt, if she is not Princess Xu, no matter what she becomes, I will still want her!”

Those beautiful upturned eyes looked at him deeply through the bead curtain, as if guessing how credible his words were .

After a while, the noble voice slowly said: “You must remember what you said today . ”

She gently waved a white jade-like hand . The red-and-gold ring on her pinky drew a sharp light in the air, and the queen whispered: “Leave . ”

Gan Lin was confused, but he did not dare to refute the queen’s words, so he had to leave .

Behind the dense and round pearl bead curtain, that elegant face showed a cold smile, which seemed a bit hideous in her exquisite makeup .

Soon, there will be a good show
