The genius doctor and the crazy concubine are rebellious, and the regent seduces her to no end

Regent's Palace.

The maid lowered her head and reported carefully.

"Princess, Miss Ruxue is here."

"Let her in." Lin Xilan put down the teacup in her hand, gently stroked the rim of the cup with her fingertips, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in her eyes.

Ruxue, dressed in a plain white dress, walked in lightly and bowed slightly towards Lin Xilan.

"Hail, Princess."

"No need to be polite." Lin Xilan responded calmly, but her eyes were full of scrutiny.

"I heard that the prince was assassinated. I am worried and I came to ask for your permission to protect the prince personally."

what?

Please order?

Protect the prince closely?

Lin Xilan's heart tightened, and a sour feeling surged into her heart.

"Protect the prince? You can, after all, you are quite skilled."

"Yes, I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, and I know a little bit about boxing and kicking." Ruxue answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

next second.

Lin Xilan stood up suddenly, walked in front of Ruxue, and looked down at her.

"Ruxue, what is your relationship with the prince?"

Ruxue's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, "Your Highness and I are just old acquaintances."

"Old acquaintance? Ha!" Lin Xilan sneered, "How old is this acquaintance that you need to risk your life to protect?"

"The safety of the prince is related to the country. As a citizen of Beichen, I should do my duty." Ruxue avoided the main point.

Lin Xilan stared at Ruxue's eyes, trying to see something from them, but all she saw was calmness, like a bottomless cold pond.

You’re quite good at pretending!

cut.

Lin Xilan waved her hand and said, "Go down."

——Since she won’t say, then she will find a way to find out the reason!

Ruxue bowed again and turned to leave.

Lin Xilan looked at her departing back, and the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.

She was distraught.

He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Someone, go to the prince and invite Liuyun over! Just tell him that this princess has something to ask."

"Yes."

……

Liuyun ran in hurriedly and knelt on the ground.

"Princess, what do you want?"

"What's going on between Ruxue and the prince?" Lin Xilan said in a cold tone, as if to say, "If you dare to tell a lie, I'll make you pay."

Liuyun hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"The prince and Miss Ruxue grew up together..."

Lin Xilan's heart sank suddenly.

"Growing up together?"

"Yes... the prince's biological mother once promised Miss Ruxue's mother that Miss Ruxue would be a concubine in the future..."

Snapped!

Lin Xilan's heart broke at once.

Concubine...

Growing up together...

Lin Xilan just felt a suffocation in her chest.

No wonder...

No wonder Beichen Yuan was acting weird since she first met Ruxue...

So this is ah!

Beichen Yuan clenched his fists tightly. The scene of Beichen Yuan and Ruxue's first meeting kept appearing in her mind.

Lin Xilan sneered.

At this time, Beichen Yuan walked in casually. He noticed that Lin Xilan looked unhappy and frowned slightly: "Xilan, what's wrong with you?"

"I want to go to the south with you." Beichen Yuan spoke word by word with a firm tone.

Beichen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "The journey to the south is long, you should stay at home and take care of the children."

Take care of children?

He actually used the child to fool her!

"The child has a wet nurse, he doesn't need me!" Lin Xilan almost shouted.

Beichen Yuan's face turned completely gloomy: "Xilan, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine! You're not going anywhere unless you take me with you!"

Beichen Yuan, "..."

The air seemed to freeze, and there was a strong smell of tension between the two.

Liuyun looked at them timidly, just wanting to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Beichen Yuan was just trying to coax Lin Xilan, but was interrupted by the servants.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty summons you to the palace."

Beichen Yuan was silent for a moment.

Eventually left.

"We will discuss your going to the south with me later."

……

At sunset.

Lin Xilan went to the temple.

She rose from the mat reverently, tightly clutching the amulet she had prayed for, with the scarlet tassels wrapped around her fingertips.

She caught a glimpse of a familiar goose yellow figure out of the corner of her eye - Ruxue.

Ruxue was also holding an identical amulet and praying devoutly to the Bodhisattva.

Lin Xilan's heart sank, and she quickly looked away, pretending not to see it, and walked straight towards the temple gate.

"Princess!" Ruxue's voice sounded behind her, with a hint of hesitation, "Princess, please stay."

Lin Xilan paused, but did not look back and continued walking forward.

"Lin Xilan!" Ruxue's voice rose a few degrees, with a hint of anger in her tone.

Lin Xilan then stopped and slowly turned around, with a calm face: "What's the matter?"

Ruxue walked quickly to her and handed her the amulet in her hand: "Here, it's yours."

Lin Xilan raised her eyebrows and pretended to be confused: "Mine? What is this?"

Ruxue bit her lip, a trace of impatience flashing across her face: "When I was asking for divination just now, the fortune teller said that our fates are in conflict, and we need to exchange amulets to resolve it."

Lin Xilan chuckled: "Oh? What a coincidence? What else did the master say?"

Ruxue's eyes flickered, avoiding Lin Xilan's gaze: "No, I didn't say anything."

Lin Xilan stared at the amulet in her hand and didn't take it: "Since the master said so, you can keep it for yourself. I don't need it."

After saying that, she turned around and left without any regrets.

Ruxue looked at Lin Xilan's resolute back and stamped her feet in anger: "You!"

She held two amulets in her hands and didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this time, Liuyun happened to come out of the temple. Seeing Ruxue's annoyed face, he walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Ruxue?"

Ruxue raised her head and saw that it was Liuyun. She forced a smile and said, "It's okay, just a small matter."

She handed one of the amulets to Liuyun: "This is for you. It will bless you with peace and prosperity."

Liuyun was stunned for a moment, then took the amulet. His fingertips accidentally touched Ruxue's hand, and a warm current instantly spread throughout his body.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the amulet in his hand. The scarlet tassel was particularly eye-catching, and an inexplicable sweetness welled up in his heart.

"Thank...thank you." Liuyun said stutteringly, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"You are Welcome."

"I originally asked for it on behalf of the princess. Since she doesn't need it, I'll give it to you. Anyway, you have nothing to do anyway."

Ruxue smiled, turned and left.

Liuyun looked at Ruxue's receding back, unwilling to take his eyes away for a long time.

In my mind: I keep thinking back to that little face from my childhood...

He held the amulet tightly in his hand, feeling the remaining warmth on it.

A feeling he had never experienced before spread in his heart.

Maybe, this is... the feeling of being moved?

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow falls on the eaves of the temple, and also illuminates the bright red amulet in Liuyun's hand.

"Like snow..."
