Yan Wanting's sunken face was a bit scary to look at.

Xia Qiulian sighed softly and asked softly.

"Your Highness, can you take a step and speak."

Yan Wanting didn't say a word, just walked away with a flick of his sleeves, walked to the grass outside the pavilion, Yue'er was hugged by the maid who was crying silently.

He walked up to touch Yue'er's face, then lightly grabbed her arm and looked at it.

The back of the hand hit a stone on the grass, and it was a little red and swollen. The delicate skin was red and looked very pitiful.

Yan Wanting frowned and gently touched Yue'er's head, his eyes softened a lot.

"Yue'er don't cry, be good, ask these two sisters to take you to see a doctor, and apply some ointment to relieve the pain."

Yue'er shrank back, forgetting that the maid was hiding something, she looked at Yan Wanting's eyes with a little fear.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xia Qiulian approaching, and she opened her hands from a distance, choking on her little milk voice and tremblingly calling for sister Shenxian to hug her.

Yan Wanting's hands that stopped in mid-air froze, and moved them back.

Xia Qiulian reached out and hugged her, comforting her softly.

"Be good, Yue'er, does your hand still hurt?"

Yan Wanting stood aside and looked aside, silent for a long time.

It wasn't until Xia Qiulian finally coaxed Yue'er and ordered someone to carry her down that she walked to Yan Banting's side.

She looked at Yan Wanting's side face as if frozen, but asked directly.

"What is your highness suspicious about?"

Yan Wanting turned his head to look at her, turned his head to look at the sleeves of the gazebo, and saw that her back was facing them and looking at the lake, so she lowered her voice and spoke with anger.

"How many times have you and her met in private, and how have I ever questioned you?"

Xia Qiulian's clear eyes were a little disappointed, she looked at Yan Wanting, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, showing a self-deprecating smile, and said coldly.

"If His Highness had asked me seriously, he wouldn't have sent so many hidden guards to follow and monitor me."

Yan Wanting was dumb, she opened her lips, as if she wanted to explain, but gave up again.

He said quickly in a low voice.

"That's not monitoring you, it's protecting you."

Xia Qiulian looked at her lightly, the smile on her lips restrained.

"Is that so, I'm afraid even His Highness doesn't believe it."

Yan Wanting took a deep breath, closed his eyes with his back turned to Xia Qiulian, and shook his head a little disappointed.

"I know, you think I don't believe you, but why did you ever believe me?"

Xia Qiulian stood expressionless. She looked at Yan Banting's back with a cold expression.

"I told His Highness earlier that I would help His Highness, but His Highness still suspects that I will help Jiang Wenyan."

Yan Wanting turned around and said anxiously.

"Jiang Xunyan, I will deal with it myself. You just need to stay by my side. I don't suspect that you will help Jiang Xunyan, but you are from Jianguo after all."

Xia Qiulian pursed her lips, as if she heard something from Yan Banting's words, her expression paled instantly.

"Then His Highness wants to deal with Jiang Xunyan or Jiang Guo."

Yan Wanting tilted his head.

"The one I want to deal with is naturally Jiang Xunyan. He has a ulterior motive and has long coveted the country of Yan. The one I want to deal with is of course him."

Xia Qiulian looked at her without saying a word, with disappointment in her cold eyes that made Yan Wanting a little panicked.

Yan Wanting stepped forward, reached out and gently grabbed Xia Qiulian's shoulders, looking at her sincerely with her eyes.

"Qiu Lian, I'm just afraid that you will be hurt. I know you have the people of Jiang country in your heart, and you don't want to hurt the people of Jiang country and Yan country because of the game between me and Jiang Xunyan. But after all, this is a game between the two countries. Even if I don't want to, Some things are unavoidable after all, and at that time, I am only afraid of you, and I will soften my heart again, just like in my previous life."

"I do have ambitions, but my ambition will not be filled with the lives of the people. I will not abandon the people in the city like Jiang Xunyan, just to besiege the country of Yan."

Yan Wanting is sincere, every word is like an oath, making people want to believe her willingly.

But Xia Qiulian didn't seem to be moved, she just looked at Yan Wanting lightly.

"I understand what your highness means, but does your highness understand me? I don't want to imagine a canary locked in a sturdy and beautiful cage, watching the dark tide in Yan and Jiang, but doing nothing, just waiting , can only wait."

Yan Wanting tilted his head with a complicated expression, and let go of his hand.

"Why are you so stubborn, you understand my worries, and I understand yours, but I can't regress."

Xia Qiulian pressed on every step of the way.

"Your Highness should also know that I can't retreat."

Yan Wanting took a deep breath, took half a step back, and bowed his head in silence for a long time.

Because of the country of Yan, she didn't want Xia Qiulian to intervene, because she didn't believe that Xia Qiulian would stand by the country of Yan when the two countries were in crisis, so she would repeat everything in her previous life.

Xia Qiuling wanted to intervene because of Jiang Guo, because she didn't believe that Yan Banting would not abandon the people of Jiang Guo because of Yan Guo.

Xia Qiulian knew that Yan Wanting was more difficult than her, but she had no choice but to press hard.

When necessary, even use Yan Wanting's love and affection for her as a bargaining chip.

She was as tired as Yan Wanting after such a tug and pull.

If Jiang Guo and Yan Guo were not mixed up between the two, maybe they could really clear up their past suspicions and become a carefree couple of immortals.

Just like a few days ago, without talking about home country, they can get along with ordinary lovers.

But when it comes to Yan Guo and Jiang Guo, they are like two hedgehogs with their thorns open, and no one is willing to give in.

Xia Qiulian sighed softly and raised her head ironically.

"If His Highness really doesn't want me to intervene, then he will put me under house arrest and raise me like a canary."

Yan Wanting opened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.

"Qiu Lian, how can you say that, you know I won't do that."

Xia Qiulian lowered her eyes, her cold face was pale, and her thin body trembled slightly in the breeze.

"No matter what His Highness does, I can't choose, right. I should have known it from the very beginning."

Yan Wanting looked at Xia Qiulian angrily, wanted to get angry, but couldn't bear it, so he could only stomp his feet and said bitterly.

"Xia Qiulian, what are you talking about? You are forcing me."

Xia Qiulian stood without saying a word, with her head slightly lowered.

Yan Wanting flicked the corner of his sleeve angrily, but she finally compromised.

"Forget it, you can do whatever you want, it's just that I need to know, it's okay."

Xia Qiulian looked at Yan Wanting, looked at the helpless frown in her eyes, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart.

"Yan Wanting."

She called softly.

"What's wrong."

Yan Wanting looked up, she was stunned.

Because she saw Xia Qiulian's cold face softening little by little in the cold wind, and looked at the condensed tear in her misty eyes.

"I'm sorry, thank you."

All the helplessness and resentment seemed to evaporate in the tear that was about to fall, she took a deep breath, her eyes were tender and compassionate.

She leaned close to Xia Qiulian, and gently brushed Xia Qiulian's cool cheeks with her warm hands, brushing away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled pretendingly aggrieved.

"Silly, who told me to like you, who told me to like you more than you."

That drop of crystal clear tears was wiped away by Yan Wanting's fingertips before it slipped down.

It was like wiping away the wounds in my heart.

Xia Qiulian closed her eyes, and naturally approached Yan Wanting's arms, her long and slightly curly eyelashes trembling slightly in the wind, just like her heart at this moment.

She whispered softly in Yan Wanting's ear.

"Yan Wanting, don't blame me."

I will give everything to you, I will give you my whole heart, you...don't let me down.
