When I woke up the next day, I could already hear preparations being made outside. The engagement ceremony was held on the lawn outside the castle.

Huo Yan said that there would be a lot of people, including his restless uncle Bird, who would probably mutiny on the spot if they knew that it was me who was getting engaged today.

I asked him, "Aren't you afraid that he will really mutiny on the spot?" He said it doesn't matter if he is afraid, the fun is all about the excitement.

Sure enough, the servant knocked on the door and said to me, "Miss Xinghe, don't go out for the time being, because Lord Bird is outside now, and he wants to confirm whether the one getting engaged today is Han Lingwei."

"Didn't Han Lingwei tell him that she was returning to China?"

"No, Han Lingwei is being controlled over there and probably can't move." The servant's smug look reminded me of Gu Sinian.

He must have controlled Han Lingwei.

At this moment, the servant appeared in front of me, pulling Huo Huahua: "The master said that this is the first gift for you."

Seeing that Huo Huahua was safe and sound and not injured at all, I was so happy that I wanted to stand up and hug her.

But she was pulled back by the servant: "Change into a beautiful engagement dress first."

Huo Huahua was also happy to help hold the dress and hand it to me: "Xinghe, you've waited for so long, and finally this day has come, right? I'm really happy for you and Master Huo."

After she handed me the clothes, she couldn't help but turned her back and wiped away her tears secretly.

"I finally understand what it means to have sweetness after bitterness. You can finally get married, and you will definitely be happier in the future." Huo Huahua couldn't help but reached out and hugged me.

I also hugged her and patted her back, comforting her: "Thank you for always being with me."

She never hurt me, accompanied me, protected me, and took care of me, except for the time when she let me go because she was afraid that my existence threatened Huo Yan's life.

"Xinghe, let's try this."

Seeing that I had finished styling my hair, Huo Huahua took out a delicate box from her small box and placed it in my hand carefully. I opened it gently and saw her mysterious and proud look on her face. The moment I opened it, she asked me, "Does it look good?"

I nodded. It was a crown made entirely of aqua blue gems. The main diamond was about ten carats in size, giving people a sense of tranquility and beauty.

She placed the crown on my head and said, "When the time comes, the big screens across the continent will show the video footage of your engagement with the Master. If you want him to see it, he will definitely see it."

"But Gu Sinian won't come to my engagement, right?" I said it in a soft voice, inadvertently revealing the loneliness of my choice.

But Huo Huahua still heard it. She put her hands on my shoulders, lowered her head and whispered in my ear:

"This crown was sent by Gu Sinian this morning."

I covered my lips, unable to control my emotions, maybe it was excitement or just too much happiness.

Gu Sinian knew that I was getting engaged and prepared a gift for me.

"This crown, Gu Sinian, no, now we should call him Han Huang. He said this is his mother's favorite crown. He didn't put it on your head himself, so don't be angry."

I looked in the mirror. Wearing the aqua blue diamond crown and the aqua blue mermaid dress, I became the happiest person in the world.

Many people’s heads and lives were sacrificed here.

"Are you having these crazy thoughts again? The Cold Emperor also said not to blame yourself and to be yourself. The country is not your responsibility alone. He will take it on."

I nodded.

"We should be happy today."

As he was speaking, he saw the servant outside come to report: "Lord Bird has left, the master will be here soon."

Huo Huahua also smiled and pursed his lips: "If Bird knew that I didn't marry Han Lingwei, he would probably explode. He has been planning this for so long."

"What does he want?"

Suddenly I couldn't understand what Bird was trying to do. He saw that Gal had been in power for many years and it was not going well, so he helped him govern, but he didn't seize the throne.

"He wants your mother's ashes. Bury her with him."

Huo Huahua suddenly looked at me seriously, and I couldn't help but tear my face speechlessly.

"He's a little crazy."

"Isn't it? Isn't Mr. Huo crazy? What hasn't he done for you?" Huo Huahua deliberately complained about me. I could only cover my face, too embarrassed to see anyone.

Bird wanted to be buried with my mother's ashes, which is crazy.

"Master, you are here?" The servant's voice brought me back to my senses and I looked towards the door. Huo Yan was wearing their royal tuxedo. It turned out that his noble temperament was because he was born to be the heir to the throne.

He came with his hands behind his back and a smile on his lips, which made me know that today should be the happiest day for him.

"What's wrong?" He stared at me, then squatted down and put his hands on my knees.

Then Huo Huahua and the servant hurried out and closed the door.

"I think you're so handsome, so unattainable and so noble."

He rubbed my palms: "Life and death all depend on Yu Xinghe."

I shook his hand in return and said, "Why is Bird willing to leave? Doesn't he want to confirm my identity?"

"In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether it's Han Lingwei or not. Gu Sinian is the Cold Emperor now, and you are Gu Sinian's biological sister. He has already investigated everything. He has always been in power just to threaten me when I come back and ask me to give him your mother's ashes. This is why I have been helping you keep your mother's ashes for the past two lives, because someone is ready to make a move."

Huo Yan felt a little proud that his own plan was flawless.

"What now? Bodeken left because you promised him something?"

"I promised him that we would be buried together when he died. He believed me. He is easy to deceive about anything related to your mother."

The knife that was used to kill Bird was my mother's.

"Then he is sure he won't start a mutiny?"

"He won't, but others may not..." Huo Yan's eyes lowered as he spoke, and a cold aura made me feel very uncomfortable.

He wasn't going to tell me.

I had to change the subject. After all, there was no point in asking and I couldn't help with anything.

"I chose a pair of crystal shoes for you, but Huo Huahua said that only Cinderella wears crystal shoes. So I changed it to this." Huo Yan took out a pair of shoes from Huo Huahua's box. It was a pair of white high-top sports shoes.

I laughed out loud for a moment.

"Huo Huahua is trying to trick you."

"These are the wedding shoes I asked a Suzhou embroidery master to embroider. Every pattern has your name and mine."

Only then did I look at the embroidery pattern carefully, using the English initials of his and my name for tomorrow.

"Wearing high heels is tiring, so I prepared this for you."

A pair of aqua blue stiletto diamond high heels with sparkling diamonds are a perfect match with my skirt.

"Huo Yan, I want to choose this pair of high heels. To match my skirt."

He also agreed with the call: "I also think my vision is better."

haha~

I couldn't help laughing.

"But I'll be tired after the engagement, so I'll change into flat shoes after wearing high heels for a while."

"Then I'll bring it to you."

I saw him put all the things I needed in a box, sorted them out for me personally, and squatted down to put on my shoes.

He doesn't look like an emperor at all. He is indeed a love-crazy man.
