Reborn Princess

At the end of June, the weather started to get warmer and people started to wear thinner clothes.

Shen Xilan moved around in the hot spring until a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead and nose, until he finally fell asleep.

Zhou Cechen held her in his arms, cleaned her body, and then took her out of the hot spring.

He did not return to Liyuan Pavilion but carried Shen Yanlan into the bedroom next to the hot spring.

After placing Shen Lilan on the bed, he lowered his head and looked at the person who was sleeping soundly with a gentle gaze.

Zhou Cechen bent down, covered Shen Lilan with the quilt, and tucked a strand of hair on her cheek behind her ear. Then he bent down and gently kissed Shen Lilan on the forehead.

Shen Lilan's sleeping face is peaceful now. She is no longer tormented by nightmares almost every night like a few months ago.

Zhou Cechen sat at the head of the bed in the moonlight, looking at his princess, his wife, his Fu Fu.

There are many kinds of things in the world, but she is enough.

Tang Song was standing outside the house, wondering whether he should go in. Then the bedroom door was opened and Zhou Cechen came out wearing loose pajamas.

"Has the person been dealt with?"

Tang Song nodded, "Yes, Tang Yi has confirmed again and again that he has died from the poison."

"I just don't know what to do with this body?"

Zhou Cechen's eyes were deep.

"He couldn't enter the imperial mausoleum and was thrown into a mass grave."

"Yes." Tang Song responded.

"In a few days, I will take the princess to Mobei. You go and prepare."

Tang Song responded.

Zhou Cechen glanced at the moonlight. A dark moon was hanging quietly in the sky.

……

On the other side, inside the Qin Mansion, Qin Zhenzhen stood in the yard and looked up at the sky.

There were many stars in the sky, twinkling. It seemed that she had not watched the stars so quietly in all these years.

A cloak was draped over her shoulders. Qin Zhenzhen was a little surprised when she turned around and saw Qin Ji.

"Brother, haven't you gone to bed yet?"

"I've been through a lot these days. I've been tossing and turning in bed and can't fall asleep. I thought you must be the same, so I just came to your yard to take a look."

Qin Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head, "Brother guessed right."

"I used to be able to sleep at night with such a deep hatred buried deep in my heart. Now that all my injustices have been cleared up and my identity has been restored, I can't sleep when I have some free time."

Qin Ji looked at the flowers and plants in the yard and said, "Luckily nothing happened to you. You must have had a very difficult time these years."

Qin Zhenzhen said: "It's not that difficult to have enough food and sleep. Brother, I heard that the eldest son and his sister of the Ye family have a complicated private relationship."

Qin Ji was stunned. Ye Qinghe? Someone actually spread such a rumor to tarnish her reputation as a woman.

"It's just a rumor. It doesn't matter to me, but she is a woman who has been slandered like this..."

Before Qin Ji could finish his words, he caught a glimpse of a person squatting on the wall in the yard. He recognized who it was at a glance.

"Ye Qinghe!" Qin Ji frowned and spoke in a stern voice.

How can a girl climb a wall in the middle of the night?

Ye Qinghe had just climbed up the wall when she heard Qin Ji's roar and she was so scared that she missed a step and fell down.

Just when she thought she was going to die here tonight, the imagined pain did not come. She quietly opened her eyes and looked into Qin Ji's eyes.

Qin Ji held her in his arms with a serious face, his brows furrowed, and a hint of worry in his eyes.

"What are you doing?" He seemed to have forgotten his sense of propriety for a moment and asked without letting her go.

"Are you injured anywhere?"

The fear that Ye Qinghe had felt in her heart when Qin Ji held her in his arms had long since disappeared. She clutched Qin Ji's clothes on his chest without saying a word.

Seeing this silence, Qin Ji thought that he was not feeling well, so she hugged her and was about to walk out.

Ye Qinghe thought he was going to send her away and immediately said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Qin Ji stopped and looked at her for a moment before putting her down.

"I'll take you back."

As soon as Qin Ji opened his mouth, Ye Qinghe immediately shook his head, "I'm not going back, don't send me away."

"If father and mother knew about this, you would be punished again." Qin Ji said in a deep voice.

"You're here again. When you're here, how have I ever been punished?" Ye Qinghe looked at Qin Ji with a smile.

Then, she caught a glimpse of Qin Zhenzhen standing aside and immediately greeted her, "Hello, Sister Qin!"

Qin Zhenzhen didn't expect that she would greet her, so she nodded and asked, "Why is Princess Jiahe here so late at night?"

Ye Qinghe glanced at Qin Ji and said nothing.

Qin Zhenzhen also glanced at Qin Ji and then said with a smile: "Princess Jiahe, do you miss your brother? It's getting late tonight, so you should stay in the mansion. It just so happens that your brother just said he couldn't sleep, so it would be good for you to accompany him and talk."

Qin Ji looked at Qin Zhenzhen in surprise, then looked at Ye Qinghe.

"You..." Before Qin Ji could speak, Qin Zhenzhen said, "It's getting late. I'm a little sleepy so I'll go back to bed first. Brother must take good care of Princess Jiahe."

"Oh!" Qin Ji was at a loss for a moment when looking at Qin Zhenzhen's back.

"Brother doesn't want me anymore now that he has returned to his roots?" Ye Qinghe looked at Qin Ji and his eyes suddenly became red with tears in them.

Qin Ji naturally couldn't bear to see her cry, so he immediately denied it, "How could it be? How could I not want you?"

"You'll be my sister forever."

As soon as Qin Ji said this, Ye Qinghe's tears instantly flowed out.

"Can it only be my sister?"

Qin Ji panicked when he saw her crying, and then he became even more at a loss when he heard her say that.

He was not a fool and knew that Qinghe was feeling a little strange towards him. After her words today, Qin Ji became more certain of his guess.

"Please stop crying, okay?" Qin Ji stood in front of Ye Qinghe and wanted to reach out to wipe her tears but in the end he didn't.

Ye Qinghe cried and shook her head, "Not good."

Qin Zhenzhen had already gone far away, and it was not appropriate for Qin Ji to stay in her yard.

It was late at night and it was not convenient to take Ye Qinghe back, so he grabbed Ye Qinghe's wrist.

"Let's go to my yard."
