Holding the soft body in his arms, Beichen Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

It doesn't matter whether she accepts his confession or not.

Because as long as the other party doesn't leave him, he has a chance!

He believed that no matter how hard a heart was, he could melt it...

"Lin Xilan, you will accept me one day."

Lin Xilan, "..."

……

Ever since he saw Murong Xuan in the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong, Beichen Yuan had been extremely wary. He didn't say anything openly, but secretly replaced the people around her with secret guards with high martial arts skills.

Lin Xilan knew it all clearly, but said nothing. She just studied her own prescription every day.

Her medical skills have once again reached a new level!

Unfortunately……

There are very few opponents.

……

She knew that she would meet Murong Xuan again.

really.

When she went to Beichenze's mansion for a banquet, she once again saw the prince of the Southern Kingdom with ulterior motives.

Beichenze was still dressed in gentle brocade clothes, as graceful as jade, but with sorrow in his eyes.

Lin Xilan's lips curled slightly.

Looking at Bei Chenze's appearance, it seems that the marriage between him and Princess Loulan has not been resolved yet...

Bei Chenze was slightly stunned when he saw Lin Xilan, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he said, "Xilan, you came at the right time. I was just talking about poetry with Brother Murong. I said you are the best when it comes to poetry, but he refused to believe it, so I invited you over!"

Lin Xilan glanced at him, then glanced at Murong Xuan who was sitting opposite her.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dressed in red with gold thread, looking flamboyant and unrestrained, with jet-black hair. The folding fan in his hand was half-opened, and a smile covered half of his face.

She then laughed, with a little helplessness.

"Second Prince, I really should praise you for your innocent heart."

Beichenze: “???”

He was always criticized by Lin Xilan, but now he felt flattered for a rare time.

"Why did you suddenly think of praising me?"

——Because you are still as stupid as ever.

she thought.

But Bei Chenze had already retracted his attention, smiled and coughed lightly, "I chatted with Prince Murong for a long time today, and I found that he is also a person who loves literature. We have common interests, but Prince Murong has always been curious about the poems you wrote, so I invited you here."

Very good, for the prince of the enemy country to be regarded as a close friend, Beichenze was equated with stupidity and cuteness in Lin Xilan's heart.

but.

She had been waiting for Murong Xuan these days, and now it was exactly what she wanted.

So she sat down.

We drank tea and chatted, occasionally talking about poetry, literature and history.

There was one thing she could not deny, although Murong Xuan had a black heart, he could easily make anyone like him, whether it was the way he treated people, or his appearance and demeanor.

Bei Chenze was probably deceived by this appearance.

"Looking at the Regent Princess, she seems a little haggard, but is there something troubling her recently?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have some, but it's not much, and you can't help me much."

"Uh...I see...The Regent didn't come with you?"

"He is very busy, so of course he won't be with me every day. After all, not everyone has as much free time as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

There is certainly a difference between a regent who holds great power and a prince who is nothing more than a shell.

Murong Xuan smiled strangely, "That's true."

He seemed a little bored, and shifted his gaze to the chessboard on the side. "How about the next game?"

Lin Xilan raised her eyebrows and smiled like a flower.

"can."

Murong Xuan's idea was very simple, which was to kill her spirit on the chessboard. However, after placing more than ten pieces, he felt something was wrong. Then, every piece he placed was surrounded.

Three games, three losses.

His expression finally became a little serious, and he looked at Lin Xilan meaningfully.

"The princess is very secretive!"

Lin Xilan shook her head. "Not really. The whole capital knows that I am one of the top five, and one of them is chess. I didn't hide it, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't ask about it in advance."

Murong Xuan: “…”

it is good.

well.

He was criticized again!

He gritted his teeth.

Just as he was about to say a few more words, Bei Chenze next to him stood up with a bad look on his face, "I have something to do, so I'll excuse myself first."

I don’t know why, it was clearly he who invited Lin Xilan to come.

But at this moment, watching these two people talking happily, he felt a little jealous, a kind of jealousy that made him feel unmotivated.

Is he...crazy?

Bei Chenze left in a distracted state. When his fingers touched the jade box in his sleeve, his confused mood finally came to his senses.

"…How could I be so impulsive? The gift hasn't even been given out yet."

When it comes to playing chess, Murong Xuan was defeated miserably without exception.

His expression changed for a long time, and finally he put down the chess piece, "I lost."

How interesting! I originally thought it was a vase!

He glanced at Lin Xilan and said, "It's a pity for someone like the Regent Princess to stay here. Maybe my Southern Kingdom will be more suitable for you than here."

Is the South suitable for her?

Where is suitable?

How appropriate?

Lin Xilan smiled sarcastically.

Before she could say anything, she heard the other party say, "There is a woman in my country of the south, who is just like you, extremely talented and brilliant. She eventually became the Grand Tutor and is famous all over the world."

Lin Xilan's smile suddenly disappeared slowly.

She knew who Murong Xuan was talking about.

Isn't that her?!

Murong Xuan continued, "With your talent, if you come to our Southern Country, your achievements will only be high, not low. Why do you have to limit yourself to this inner house?"

Many years later, I heard my life story from my former disciples.

Lin Xilan had calmed down a lot. Hearing this, she sneered in her heart, "Really? I wonder what happened to this lady official?"

Murong Xuan's eyes dimmed for a moment, and finally he spoke slowly.

"She's dead."

"..."

Lin Xilan narrowed her eyes as she didn't expect him to speak so directly.

But think about it, she was so famous in her previous life, and one could know her fate with just a little inquiry. Murong Xuan would not be stupid enough to lie to her about such a thing.

The only thing she didn't understand was...

Murong Xuan, why did you suddenly bring up this matter?

"She was my teacher and my mentor. However, she was a woman disguised as a man at the time, which violated the criminal law. After her death, her identity as a woman was discovered. But she is still the person I admire the most. So after I became an adult, I have been asking my father for permission to open a female official position in the court."

"It took me several years to finally get my father to let go."

"But, in this vast world, in this vast southern country, there is no one else like her."

"I really miss her... and I see her shadow in you..."

Lin Xilan clenched the teacup tightly, feeling mixed emotions.

"so?"
