After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"You...you don't want to strangle me to death?"

The girl's frightened voice and vigilant eyes made all the beauty disappear completely in an instant!

Lin Xun...

Finally, he withdrew his hand and gently picked away the fallen leaves that had fallen on her shoulders.

Xiao Xuetang was a little embarrassed...

For some reason, I was so jumpy in front of Lin Xun tonight, not at all as calm as usual.

Through the mask, Xiao Xuetang couldn't see Lin Xun's expression, but she felt that Lin Xun was probably unhappy at the moment.

After all, it is normal for anyone to feel resentful when being suspected by her, let alone the always arrogant and proud Regent.

Should she say something to save the situation?

Xiao Xuetang felt a little regretful and was racking her brains to think of a solution. At this moment, she saw Lin Xun looking normal. He had kept a distance of several feet from her and was looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

A calm voice said, "The moon is beautiful tonight."

Xiao Xuetang suddenly heard the old news that night, and her heart was originally in turmoil. At this time, after listening to Lin Xun's words, she did not notice the fleeting ambiguous atmosphere just now, and followed Lin Xun's gaze...

Tonight is the fifteenth night, the moon is high in the sky, and the moonlight is as bright as water. It is rare to see such a bright moon in Kyoto.

It was late at night, everything was quiet, and the flowers and trees in the yard exuded a faint fragrance.

Xiao Xuetang was sitting on a stone under the Fusu tree, with a tall and graceful man wearing a mask next to her. Between them was a glazed hydrangea lantern.

There was a faint fragrance floating in the air, and the half-burnt candle in the lamp emitted a dim warm light, which softened Lin Xun's originally sharp jawline by a few points, and inexplicably gave off a sense of peace and tranquility...

With such stars and such wind, the atmosphere should have been depressing, but it added a bit of ambiguity.

Xiao Xuetang felt her cheeks inexplicably getting hot, and she thought to herself: In fact, she lied. She was more curious than anyone else about what was hidden under the mask.

Why does it always give her an inexplicably familiar feeling!

Obviously, he doesn't look like the man in the dream at all.

But for some reason, compared to the man she met in the Ksitigarbha Temple today, Xiao Xuetang always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him!

While Xiao Xuetang was looking at Lin Xun, Lin Xun lowered his eyes slightly, but his deep gaze first fell on the glass cup beside him.

Such an exquisite lamp didn't look like something from his yard. It should have been given to her by Nanny Song from the warehouse.

With the dim light of the candle, Lin Xun's gaze shifted to the girl.

She sat very upright, and at first glance she was obviously a lady brought up in an aristocratic family. However, no matter how dignified she was, she was rebellious at heart.

But she is good at hiding it.

Just like when she first met Lin Shaoshu in the Marquis' Mansion, she was obviously not as happy about Lin Shaoshu as she looked, but she was actually very enthusiastic.

Even an old fox like Xiao Yi didn't notice anything.

In addition, tonight, even Lin Xun did not expect that a noble lady who grew up in a wealthy and gentle place like Kyoto with fine clothes and delicious food would hide such a sharp dagger under her pillow and attack so quickly.

Fast, accurate, ruthless, and with a sense of determination.

Both of her parents are alive, and the Yong'an Marquis's mansion is peaceful and prosperous. Why does she, as the eldest daughter of the mansion, act like a frightened bird?

In recent days, Lin Xun rarely has those frightening dreams, but his mind is involuntarily attracted to Xiao Xuetang.

Just now in Qingyun Courtyard, the old princess asked him what he was thinking. To be honest, Lin Xun himself didn't know...

In his more than twenty years of life, he had thought about many things, including power, status, revenge, and even life and death, but he had never thought about affection and love.

When he first saw her in the mansion, he was stunned by her gorgeous appearance. Even the absurd dream he had at night made Lin Xun feel that everything was...

want.

Nothing to do with love.

He has always done whatever he wants. Back then, Emperor Ai killed anyone he wanted, let alone a woman.

As long as he wants.

But in his heart, there was another voice telling him not to rush into anything and to be patient...

Even though Lin Xun was wearing a mask, when his deep eyes fell on Xiao Xuetang in the darkness, Xiao Xuetang's heart skipped a beat!

In an instant, Xiao Xuetang lost all her romantic thoughts, as if she had returned to the past life where she was frightened and ambitious, as if she could see through people's hearts.

At that time, Xiao Xuetang felt that Lin Xun must have known about it. She had planned with Lin Shaoshu... to get rid of him, the regent who had great power in the court and even threatened his position.

She remembered what Xiao Yunni said, that in her previous life, Lin Xun raided the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and killed Ye Jin to avenge her, but Xiao Xuetang didn't quite believe it.

What he feared was that Lin Xun would commit treason in the name of revenge. After Lin Shaoshu ascended the throne, his nightmare became a reality...

Thinking of the things in his previous life, Xiao Xuetang felt depressed.

Lin Shaoshu is even more unscrupulous than she thought. The cancellation of the engagement is imminent and she can't wait any longer!

"Can the conditions discussed with the prince at the Marquis' Mansion be changed?"

Xiao Xuetang suddenly spoke...

"I hope Your Majesty can help me with the matter of cancelling the engagement in the palace tomorrow!"

Lin Xun turned around to look at her, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes under the mask, and said, "Are you going to the palace tomorrow?"

Xiao Xuetang smiled slightly, and that smile was like the moonlight covered by floating clouds, hazy and graceful, seeming to be near and far away...

There was a hint of mystery that even Lin Xun couldn't figure out.

At this time, the candle in the glass hydrangea lamp was about to burn out, only the faint candlelight was swaying, and the moonlight had already set.

Fusumu's shadow was cast on Xiao Xuetang's fair face, covering the dark color in her black and white eyes.

"They will come tomorrow..."

Almost at the same time, a carriage quietly left from the back door of Runan Palace.

The person sitting inside was none other than Madam Nan, who was sent out of the city by King Runan to avoid disaster.

Mrs. Nan pulled her clothes closer to hide the ambiguous red mark on her neck.

If Xiao Xuetang and the Prince Regent's Palace hadn't intervened, she wouldn't have had to leave the city in such a miserable state, and Jin'er wouldn't have suffered such great injustice at the hands of the Queen...

"Xiao Xuetang, this is the day you die!"

Then, she handed the secret letter in her hand to the servant beside her and ordered: "Send the things to the palace, the sooner the better!"

Madam Nan thought she was doing it secretly, but she didn't know that everything she did was seen by Su.

It was Mu Han, and the old servant Zhong Shu who brought him back to the palace from the village!

Uncle Zhong was holding a lantern in his hand, and he was so angry that he jumped up and down, "My young master, the prince is so stupid that he actually let this witch go!"

Mu Han's lips curled up into a smile, a sharp flash across his brown eyes, and he said nonchalantly: "He is already obsessed with this woman. Back then, he was able to kill his wife and abandon his young son for this woman. Now it's just a cuckold, how can he not tolerate it..."

Everyone in the palace thought that Mu Han was young and ignorant back then and didn't remember those things, but they didn't know that he remembered them clearly!

Uncle Jianzhong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Han: "Without this witch, the one in the mansion is also useless. Tomorrow is my first time to enter the palace, so you must prepare a big gift for my brother..."

The younger brother that Mu Han was talking about is Mu An, the current prince of Runan Palace and one of Lin Shaoyu's study partners!
