The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

Yun Nian could sense that Xi Yuanen had no ill intentions, although she didn't seem to be that sensitive to danger.

The elder in front of her pushed the tea in front of her and Xiyu and made a "please" gesture.

It was a very precious Nanyan spring tea. Even her father, the Prime Minister, who was so powerful, could only get two taels of it. Every time, she had to beg him to make her some tea, but Xi Yuanen didn't care at all.

"Miss Yun must know that my tea is of the highest quality. This tea can only be grown in the mountains and valleys under the jurisdiction of Nanyan. It takes four seasons to mature, and the time for picking is only one day."

Listening to his words, Yun Nian took a sip, and the elegant, sweet, and slightly bitter tea lingered between her lips and teeth.

"And only the disciples of my Feiyu Tower can deliver them to the tea frying place quickly and accurately without any damage. The picking time for this year's new tea was just a few days ago, and I was waiting for Xiyu to come back at that time."

There seemed to be a searching look in Xi Yuanen's eyes. He let the aroma of tea drift into his nose without moving.

"Since he returned to Feiyu Tower, he is the first one to pick the new tea every year. That is also the time when disciples face the test once a year. But he was not here this year. Miss Yun, I heard that you were with him at that time."

At that time, Xiyu ignored the repeated letters of inquiry from the first and second elders, and just took her master to "escape" from the marriage contract that should not have been concluded in the first place.

Now he was silent, not like the young master of Feiyu Tower, but just a secret guard who was used to hiding himself.

"He is the most outstanding disciple of my Feiyu Tower in the past 20 years. The last person I valued so much was his mother. It's a pity that she gave up everything she had for a man, betrayed us, and even lost her life."

The person who should come back didn't come back, because of a woman.

Xi Yuanen's expression suddenly darkened, and the aura of a superior was intimidating without even getting angry.

"Tell me, will you also cause Xiyu to suffer the same fate as his mother?"

Yun Nian's expression was blank for a moment. She turned her head to look at Xiyu's face as if she couldn't understand.

Is it possible that Xiyu, who acts recklessly, uses force and even uses poison to get what he wants, will become like his mother?

She burst out laughing.

"Haha, Great Elder, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The girl in the pink dress had a face more beautiful than spring flowers, and her every frown and smile carried the charm of bringing life to all things. She continued,

"I like Xiyu so much, I even love him, how could I let him end up in such a miserable situation?"

The first half is a lie, but the second half is not.

Yun Nian looked into the eyes of the Great Elder, letting him see her sincere eyes.

How could she cause Xiyu to be trapped and hurt by love? Does a person like him really understand what love is?

Maybe her half-truths worked, or maybe Xi Yuanen was just testing her. In any case, the other party didn't delve into it.

"Really? That's best."

"Well, it's my turn to ask you a question, Great Elder. It's a matter of reciprocity, right?"

Yun Nian blinked her eyes, like a cunning fox, and without waiting for the other party to refuse, she immediately launched an offensive.

"Xiyu has followed me since he was a child. With my help, he became a disciple of General Zuo. Although he is called a slave, I have never treated him as a slave."

She turned her head, and her gentle and affectionate eyes met the secret guard's gaze.

"But I heard that Feiyu Tower first abandoned him and then called him back. He always disappeared. It turned out that he was doing your mission, which is more dangerous than being in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Great Elder, in my opinion, you are the ones who put Xiyu in danger."

She frowned and said aggressively. Xiyu seemed touched and put her hand on hers. Yunnian's fingertips couldn't help but twitch.

"Oh?"

Xi Yuanen looked at the young lady in front of him with great interest.

"The disciples of Feiyu Tower have been doing such life-and-death matters for decades, so why can't Xiyu do the same?"

"No, he has me now. I am his master. If I think what he does is dangerous and there is no sufficient reward, I would rather take him away. Xiyu will definitely listen to me, right?"

The secret guard beside him did not hesitate,

"Yes, Master's will is my will, and I will always obey your orders."

She continued to look at the Great Elder with a smile.

"Then how do you want to confirm it?"

Xi Yuanen put down the teacup in his hand, and the porcelain lightly collided with the heavy wooden table, making a dull "dong" sound.

"Of course, that means I should know what the young master of your Feiyu Tower is going to do. He sat in this position without knowing it himself. I won't agree to that."

The elder paused while pouring the tea, then turned to look at the unruly disciple.

"You think so too?"

Xiyu nodded without hesitation, without a trace of hesitation.

"Okay, then come out with me. I have something to ask you. Miss Yun, excuse me."

He stood up, waved his sleeves, and walked over with big strides. Yun Nian nodded gently, and Xiyu followed him out.

When she was the only one left in the study, her tense and dignified figure suddenly collapsed.

Actually... she really said it out loud, and she knew that she was not suitable for any political schemes or battles of wits. Ningsi often worriedly said that she only had fun in her mind.

This is the only way, right? Otherwise, she couldn't just ask Xi Yuanen, "Where is the place where you hide the antidote?"

That's a bit too silly!

Or we should take a roundabout way, a roundabout way, they didn’t notice it, right?

Yun Nian adjusted his posture, his legs numb from kneeling, and pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds outside the door.

"…Have you thought it through?"

"Yes, in my life..."

Why were they talking so quietly? Yun Nian's body shifted towards the door, and he almost fell to the ground.

"So, she really loves you and will never give up on you?"

"Yes, of course, of course she loves me."

As soon as the question was asked, Xiyu answered it decisively and in a resounding tone, not allowing anyone to question her.

Yun Nian was stunned for a moment, then swayed back to her original position, fingers entangled and clasped together.

She couldn't hear anymore. She stared at the teacup in front of her. She felt that the light blue tea was like swaying green waves.

She heard footsteps coming from behind. She slowly turned her body and moved a little closer to Xiyu.

"Well, Miss Yun, since you ask me to do so, I will take you around this tower. All the secrets of my Feiyu Tower are in this tower."

Listening to Xi Yuanen's words, her heart began to beat fast.
