I thought this would be difficult to say, but the moment I confessed my identity, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out it’s not that difficult.

He was the one who made things too complicated, thinking that to her, he had long been a passer-by forgotten in the past, and they had long forgotten each other.

The moment she questioned him with the mask and called out the name Ayan, all his hesitation disappeared.

Liu Qingyun looked at him in a daze.

This man is as cunning as a fox and has a lot of bad intentions.

I just said that the mask belonged to A Yan, and he turned around and said he was A Yan.

Is there a possibility that he is deceiving himself?

But what about that word "Xiaobai"?

She didn't mention the name she used when she was traveling around.

She calmed herself down and asked seriously, "What did you call me?"

Lu Zhaoyan met her gaze frankly: "Xiaobai, Bai Liu's Bai."

"My name is Bai Liu, what's your name?"

"Okay, you see you can't speak, don't you think it's troublesome to write Miss Bai? Just call me Xiaobai from now on!"

Her father called her Bai Xiaopang, her mother called her Liu Qingyun with both her given name, and her older brother and sister-in-law called her sister or Zheng'er.

There is no one else in the world called her Xiaobai.

"Are you really... Ayan?"

She had no doubt about it and went to Lu Zhaoyan to confirm again.

Lu Zhaoyan spread out his left hand, revealing a scar on the palm.

The two met for the first time at an inn in Miaojiang. There happened to be a passing caravan there. The inn was full of people, so everyone camped outside, made a fire and barbecued. It was very lively.

When Liu Qingyun saw others grilling meat, she tried to do the same, but ended up scalding Lu Zhaoyan who was sitting next to her.

It was precisely because of this that she felt extremely guilty, and seeing that he was a little mute who was always bullied, she patted her chest and promised to protect him in the future.

Liu Qingyun opened her eyes wide and looked at the scar on his palm. After so many years, the scar still hadn't disappeared, which showed how badly she had burned him with the fire stick.

"It's really Ayan, you are really Ayan..."

Liu Qingyun raised her head, stared into his eyes, and said in shock, "You are not mute, and your face is not ruined... You really are from the Qin Palace... You are the prince of Liang..."

With every word she spoke, the shock in her eyes grew more intense.

Lu Zhaoyan opened his mouth: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I..."

“You can do it!”

Liu Qingyun slapped his arm.

Lu Zhaoyan gasped after being slapped: "Your Vajra Palm... seems to be more powerful than before..."

Liu Qingyun cleared his throat and rubbed it perfunctorily.

Then, it hurt even more.

Liu Qingyun clapped his hands and said calmly, "I thought you were just a poor, dumb kid, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful and actually the crown prince of Liang! It seems I don't have to worry about you anymore."

Lu Zhaoyan asked, "I kept it a secret from you, aren't you angry?"

Liu Qingyun waved his hand: "When you are out, you give yourself an identity. Besides, you are not a little mute. I am so happy for you, why are you angry?"

Lu Zhaoyan could see that she was really not angry.

Others would be angry at him for lying, but she was happy that he had a healthy body.

Or maybe she wasn't completely mad, but that lie pales into insignificance compared to what he could gain.

She is just like this, like the morning sun.

I'm really curious, what kind of parents can raise a daughter with such a bright mind?

"Sit and chat?"

Lu Zhaoyan said softly.

The two sat down at the table.

Seeing that the two sides in the house seemed to have a truce and were negotiating, the falcon also changed its tactics. It turned back and took away the half-eaten beggar's chicken.

Liu Qingyun said seriously: "I don't know where the eagle came from."

Lu Zhaoyan couldn't help laughing: "Yeah."

Liu Qingyun looked him up and down from head to toe and said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so important."

She hadn't spoken to anyone like this for a long time, as if she had returned to many years ago. She was not anyone's mother, nor was she the princess of Miaojiang. She was just the chivalrous woman who traveled the world and took pleasure in avenging her enemies.

Liu Qingyun asked: "Did you recognize me a long time ago? How did you recognize me? I changed my appearance back then."

Lu Zhaoyan hit the nail on the head: "Are you referring to those two fake beards that even a blind person can see?"

Liu Qingyun: ...see through it but don’t speak it out.

"No, no, I was sitting in the carriage, and you didn't see my face."

“Your voice.”

Lu Zhaoyan said.

"what."

Liu Qingyun suddenly realized.

I was used to hearing him write, and suddenly when I heard him speak, somehow my ears started to itch, and I always felt that it was different from when he wrote.

Liu Qingyun got back to the point, "Did you recognize A Yuan too? He looks like me!"

Lu Zhaoyan didn't have the heart to tell her that it was your son who sold you out.

Liu Qingyun said: "No wonder the little girl said that you treat A Yuan differently."

Lu Zhaoyan asked: "Who is the little girl?"

Liu Qingyun said: "My daughter-in-law."

Lu Zhaoyan asked, "Zhao Zhao's mother?"

"Yes." Liu Qingyun nodded. "If it's you, I won't hide it. A Yuan has already married, and the two of them came to the imperial city together. This is all I can tell you for now."

Lu Zhaoyan said in a gentle voice, "Okay, then I won't ask. I'll come and listen when you want to tell me."

Liu Qingyun was very satisfied.

The reason why she was willing to protect him back then, besides the guilt of hurting him, was also closely related to his personality.

He is a very pleasant person to be with.

Be well-behaved, quiet, tactful and considerate.

Liu Qingyun didn't ask questions that he shouldn't have asked, such as why he concealed his identity and went to Miaojiang.

Everyone has their own secrets.

At first, he couldn't figure out who he had offended and why he was chased all the way in Miao Territory, but now there seems to be an explanation.

The room suddenly became quiet.

It seems like I have a lot to say, but I don’t know where to start.

"I'm not intentional……"

"I'm not intentional……"

They both said in unison.

Lu Zhaoyan smiled and said, "You speak first."

Liu Qingyun said awkwardly: "I wanted to say that I didn't leave without saying goodbye on purpose. Something happened and I returned to Miaojiang. Then, my father wouldn't let me out."

She had sneaked out of the Bai family.

She was caught by her father and sent directly back to her mother.

Lu Zhaoyan asked doubtfully, "Didn't you leave because you were angry with me?"

Liu Qingyun asked strangely, "Why am I angry with you? Am I the kind of person who gets angry easily? Don't mention the past anymore. I'm relieved that you're doing well now."

Lu Zhaoyan wanted to get to the bottom of it, but since she didn't want to talk about it, he didn't force her.

He thought of another thing, "Why did you keep staring at Prince Jin? Do you know my eldest brother?"

When this was mentioned, Liu Qingyun looked around, looking as if he was unable to speak.

Lu Zhaoyan understood: "All of you leave."

The masters of the Imperial Palace who were guarding in the dark all left the yard.

"You can say it."

Lu Zhaoyan said.

"This..." Liu Qingyun hesitated, but when he thought that he was not someone else but a friend who had shared life and death with him, he decided to tell him the truth.

She coughed lightly and said, "You may not believe it, but Prince Jin is probably Ayuan's father."

Lu Zhaoyan frowned.

Liu Qingyun said awkwardly: "Didn't I just tell you that I left without saying goodbye because of a small change? Actually... I slept with the King of Jin by accident..."

Lu Zhaoyan clenched his fist.

Liu Qingyun sighed, "I didn't know it was him at first. When I escaped from the inn, I took away a jade pendant of his with the word Qin engraved on it. I always thought his last name was Qin, but today I know it was your Qin Palace."

Lu Zhaoyan's heart moved: "My elder brother has never lost the jade pendant."

Liu Qingyun looked at him: "Hmm?"

Lu Zhaoyan's throat slid a little: "Is this the Penglai Inn?"

Liu Qingyun asked curiously: "How do you know? Did your elder brother tell you?"

Lu Zhaoyan's heart was filled with turbulent waves, and his chest began to rise and fall violently: "He didn't tell me because that person was not him at all."

Liu Qingyun took out the note that Meng Qianqian had Falcon pass to him: "If it's not him, then who could it be? It's clearly written on the note that there were only two people from the Qin Palace who went to the southwest border that year, one was the eighteen-year-old Jin Wang, and the other was the two-year-old Ming Wang."

Lu Zhaoyan's deep eyes fell on her beautiful face: "Xiaobai, who am I?"

Liu Qingyun said: "Ah Yan."

Lu Zhaoyan's throat slid a little: "Ayan is my nickname, my last name is Lu, and I am from the Qin Palace."

Liu Qingyun put away the note: "Now I know, Lu Zhaoyan, the prince of Liang, the former second son of the Qin Palace... the second son..."

Having said this, Liu Qingyun suddenly paused, stood up suddenly as if struck by lightning, took a step back, and looked at Lu Zhaoyan as if he had seen a ghost.
