The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Chapter 20: Lights and Moon

As night fell, the banquet began. Li Jimian was dressed in brocade clothes and looked very handsome. As the owner of the palace, he naturally became the focus of the banquet. However, his eyes often swept through the crowd, looking for that familiar figure. He knew that Li Yuan must be in a corner, watching all this quietly.

Finally, halfway through the banquet, Li Jimian found an opportunity and quietly left the noisy banquet hall. He walked through the corridor and came to the back garden of the palace. Under the moonlight, he saw the familiar figure standing alone by the flower bed, staring at the bright moon in the night sky.

"Yuan'er, why are you here?" Li Jimian asked softly, with a hint of tenderness and concern in his voice.

Li Yuan turned around and saw the familiar face of Li Jimian. She smiled and said, "Jimian, I just want to be here to be quiet. The noise at the banquet makes me feel uncomfortable." Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains.

Hearing this, Li Jimian felt a warm current in his heart. He walked to Li Yuan's side and stood side by side with her. They both looked at the bright moon in the night sky, as if they could see each other's figures in that bright moon.

"Yuan'er, do you know? Xuan Youlian is here too." Li Jimian said softly, with a barely perceptible fluctuation in his voice.

Li Yuan was slightly shocked when she heard this. She remembered the mysterious man she met in the canyon, the leader of the Black Clothes Army who had fought alongside her. She didn't know why he appeared here, but she knew that all this must have some special meaning.

"Oh? Is he here?" Li Yuan asked calmly, her eyes still fixed on the bright moon in the night sky. However, her heart was like the surging waves, unable to calm down.

"Yes, he is here. Moreover, I heard that the amount of military pay he is escorting this time is huge, enough to support our military supplies for half a year." Li Jimian said in a deep voice, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes. He knew that the importance of this military pay was self-evident, and it was related to the direction of the entire war.

Li Yuan was also worried when she heard this. She knew that the importance of this military pay was not only in its amount, but also in its significance. If there was a problem with this military pay, the entire war situation would be in trouble.

"Jimian, you must be careful. The importance of this military pay is self-evident, and we must ensure its safety." Li Yuan said in a deep voice, with a firm light flashing in her eyes.

Li Jimian felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He knew that Li Yuan had always been his strongest support. He held Li Yuan's hand tightly and said, "Yuan'er, don't worry. I will be careful and ensure the safety of this military pay." There was a hint of firmness and determination in his voice.

However, as they were talking, an unexpected figure appeared in their sight. Xuan Youyan, the mysterious leader of the Xuanyi Army, came to the back garden of the palace alone. His eyes seemed particularly deep in the moonlight, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"Li Jimian, Li Yuan, you are here." Xuan Youlan said softly, with a subtle fluctuation in his voice. His eyes stayed on Li Yuan for a moment, as if he wanted to read something from her eyes.

Li Jimian heard this and felt wary. He didn't know why Xuan Youyan appeared here, but he knew that the leader of the Xuanyi Army must have some special purpose. He held Li Yuan's hand tightly, fearing that she would be hurt.

However, Li Yuan seemed unusually calm. She stared into Hyun Woo-ryeon's eyes, as if trying to discern his true intentions. "Hyun Woo-ryeon, why are you here?" She asked softly, with a barely perceptible chill in her voice.

Xuan Youyan smiled slightly when he heard this. His eyes looked particularly gentle in the moonlight, as if they could melt people's hearts. "I just want to come here to enjoy the lanterns. I heard that the lantern festival in Yongning County is very lively, so I wanted to come and see it." He said softly, with a hint of leisure and ease in his voice.

However, Li Yuan was not moved by his words. She knew that Xuan Youyan must have some special purpose. She held Li Jimian's hand tightly, fearing that he would be hurt. "Watching the lanterns? I think you have ulterior motives." She said in a deep voice, with a vigilant light flashing in her eyes.

Xuan Youyan was not angry when he heard this. He still maintained his leisurely and comfortable attitude, as if everything was under his control. "Li Yuan, why are you so alert? I just want to come here to enjoy the lanterns. I have no other intentions." He said softly, with a hint of sincerity and sincerity in his voice.

However, Li Yuan was not moved by his words. She remained alert and vigilant, fearing that Xuan Youlian would harm them. "Xuan Youlian, I don't care what your purpose is this time. But as long as you dare to harm Ji Mian and this military pay, I will never let you go." She said in a deep voice, with a firm light in her eyes.

Xuan Youyan smiled slightly when he heard this. His eyes seemed particularly deep in the moonlight, as if he could see into people's hearts. "Li Yuan, don't worry. I have no other intentions. I just want to come here to enjoy the lanterns. If you don't believe me, I can go to the lantern festival with you to prove my innocence." He said softly, with a hint of sincerity and invitation in his voice.
