In just a few days, Lan Shan had been observing Murong Haochen's every move. Except when he went to court, he would always hold the purple magnolia in his hand when he returned to Qinlan Palace, and never left the Chenlan Palace.

But she had to plan carefully for what Murong Haoli told her.

In the quiet corridor, the bright moonlight illuminated her alone. A bell-like sound slowly came from behind her, and the sound got closer and closer, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The sound of the bells was not as loud as before, and they were rubbing against each other due to the gentle breeze.

The moment she turned around, she never thought that the two of them would meet at this moment. Since that day, everything seemed to have stopped, and there was no news.

At this moment, he was standing there, with the indifferent shadow in his eyes looking particularly solemn under the moonlight.

There was uncontrollable joy in her heart, and the smile on her lips calmly wiped away as soon as she took a step.

The sentimental scene with Murong Haochen that appeared in her mind overshadowed her. She knew that she already had a deep sense of guilt in her body, but if she was hit like this, would there be hope between them?

In the moonlight, Xia Qian also stared at her for a long time. Since that scene was deeply reflected in his mind, he should have recognized it early.

Only she who belongs to the prince will be arranged to enter the palace. Even for their first time, he could tell that she was not a virgin, but he never really cared about it. After all, he never thought that she looked very similar to her.

The initial inner desire and use of her face moved him a little bit.

She kept saying she loved her, but he never expressed it in any way.

He didn't know when he fell in love, maybe it was at the moment when they were entangled, his heart didn't feel how disgusting she was, but he was angry.

The conversation between them was obviously something they had known each other for a long time. Even the sad scene seemed like they had known each other for a long time.

How could he not be angry? Then he dared to confirm that she was his woman.

But now, what qualifications does he have to love?

He has his purpose, and she also has her own mission. There is no possibility between them.

After all, he followed her tonight, and now all she has in her eyes is whatever the prince told her, so how could she be aware of the person behind her.

With her eyes lowered, as she watched those feet walking towards her, her heart suddenly became confused, and she never wanted to face him calmly.

The distance between them was only a hair, and you could feel his slight breathing. He held his wrist tightly with one hand, and his gentle voice slowly entered his ears: "If we don't leave, we will all be discovered."

Lan Shan looked at the back in front of her. The feeling of grabbing her wrist seemed to be very different from before.

Along the way, he never uttered a word. The place he was traveling on was the most tranquil place in the palace. There was a stretch of grass, only the gurgling water of a small stream greeted each other.

Sure enough, he came here after all.

She saw him slowly let go of her hand and walked towards the creek. She had never heard the bell during the whole journey, and at this moment it rang again.

As long as he moves the bell, it will ring, unless he keeps covering the bell all the way. If this is the case, then he can find himself, maybe he has been following him.

"Have you been following me?"

She asked this question, but he stood there indifferently and did not speak. He turned around impatiently, staring at him with a trace of anger in his eyes: "I'm asking you, why don't you say it?"

"

Seeing her angry eyes, he remembered that she was so helpless that night, but there was really nothing she could do. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "This is the task assigned to you by the prince. Naturally, I want to see how you progress."

Task?

Isn't it very dirty to exchange your body for anything?

He smiled secretly in his heart, a mocking smile that made him feel sick.

When she raised her eyes and saw his scrutinizing eyes, she felt guilty and flustered: "Yes, did the prince ask you to supervise me, or do you want to come see me yourself?"

After hearing this, he turned around and stared at the bright moon reflected in the stream, took a deep breath, and said in a warm voice like gurgling water without any noise: "Lan Shan, you work for the prince, and so do I."

Lan Shan heard that he was deliberately trying to avoid what he just said, and even looked at her.

At this moment, he was also helping Murong Haoli. He twisted in his heart and asked guiltily: "You have never been involved in the royal family, why are you involved this time?"

Involved?

He had never wanted to have anything to do with the palace. Just because he had been close to the prince when he was young and had nothing to do with the emperor, he naturally became the middleman.

If the emperor hadn't been so suspicious, he probably wouldn't have...

She lowered her eyes and looked at Lan Shan, hugged her body, and when she leaned in for a kiss, she must have been unable to erase the stain on her memory.

With great restraint, he slowly lowered her body into the lawn and nestled against his side.

He raised his eyes and looked at the bright moon tonight.

'You really want it. If you help the prince, you may be able to get any woman you want in the future. The emperor is quite jealous of the Xia family because you are not used by him. Although he does not favor any of them, he can

Your father doesn't think so. Only by truly working for the prince can you save everyone, including the current concubine Shu. There is no guarantee that the emperor will strike first.';

He wanted someone, but it happened that this person was the one the two of them were fighting over.

But the woman in front of him now, what the prince wants is to be his woman. So naturally, once the prince succeeds, maybe they can really be together.

Zi Ling used her feelings for him to make her drop everything and do things for him. Even though she knew how dangerous this trip was, she had no hesitation.

And as a man, why is he afraid?

"The emperor wants to get rid of the Xia family's power, naturally to weaken the prince's power."

There was no hesitation in speaking out about him. It seemed that he could only talk about everything in front of her.

He has never touched any woman in the past, but after such a long time, he has been using her as a substitute, but now, everything has changed...

Hearing this, Lan Shan looked at him with furrowed eyebrows, and suddenly panicked: "But the emperor didn't hand over the general power to the prince, so why did he do this?"

Qian Yi, isn't this the purpose of your dealings with Murong Haoli?

She leaned closer to him again. This was the first time they stayed together to talk. He was gentler than before.

"Do you think the emperor's thoughts are so simple?" No one can understand the current emperor's thoughts. It's just because he is too meticulous in everything. The purpose of seeing through this is obviously not his style. With his penetrating eyes,

He kept looking at the bright moon in the sky, frowning, and said without a smile. "The emperor wants to suppress the prince. Naturally, the military power seems to be handed over to the prince, but it is better to stop the mouth of the Changsun family. No one can

I can’t guess what the emperor wants. But I know that the emperor has not even reviewed the memorial my father sent me recently."

When he learned about this from his father, he also felt strange. Once he said this, it was natural that the emperor would not tolerate the Xia family.

His words did not sound relevant to her, and Murong Haochen did not remove him from the post of minister.

He turned around, supported the ground with his hands, looked into those gloomy eyes, and said with relief: "This doesn't mean anything. But are you too worried?"

"If I am so careless, why would the emperor say in the court that a virtuous person should be found for the post of minister?" The words were a bit excessive, but he gradually calmed down when he saw her. He stretched out his hand to touch her face. Yesterday,

Everything in Wan should be his own. He asked in a solemn voice, "Do you think this matter is so simple?"

She absolutely could not let him become Murong Haoli's other hand. If he really did this, what Murong Haoli asked him to do was not as simple as imagined.

She leaned over and held him in his arms, slowly stroking his chest with her hands. Don't do anything rashly: "Don't think too much now. Just ask your sister to ask Chen Zhaoyi another day.

Thus..."

"No."

"Why?" Seeing him sitting up suddenly, with such an extreme reaction, he looked at him with deep confusion. "Is it possible that you don't want to know the reason? It's not that you don't know Chen Zhaoyi's position in the emperor's heart, you just

Your sister has never even slept with you, and your brother is indifferent. But you know that this is impossible."

Perhaps, he could find out something from Ye Yilan. Only in this way would he not be involved in this conspiracy.

The fists in Xia Qianyi's sleeves were clenched tightly. Even if this happened, he would rather give it a try than let her be implicated in the slightest.

As Ling'er's brother, he naturally has to think about her. But there are some things that you know are impossible, so you have to let go. But, this is the royal family, and you can't resist or be disrespectful.

"With Chen Zhaoyi's intelligence, he will definitely not put himself in a position of suspicion. Why do you have to worry." Seeing his silence and his extreme behavior just now, she had to be deeply confused. She was not allowed to do this.

The thing happened again. "Could it be that you have other thoughts about Chen Zhaoyi?"

Seeing her jealous look, he forced her to hug her body with a smile. He didn't want to answer her words and asked instead: "After all this is over, are you willing to come with me?"

No matter whether he wins or loses, it is enough to keep his life alive. He does not want to get involved in the right and wrong of this palace anymore.

How could she be unwilling? Everything she had planned before was shattered one by one.

She raised her eyes and kissed his cheek, saying affectionately: "I just hope you don't dislike me."

Even though he didn't tell the truth, he didn't really expose what she said in his heart.

Snuggled next to him, she felt how good it would be for everything in the past to be like this now, just the two of them, without any disputes and troubles.

"This bell of yours is..."

Lan Shan looked at the bell inlaid in the jade pendant on his waist, and took it out of his waist with great curiosity and placed it in the palm of her hand.

The crystal clear jade pendant is extremely transparent under the moonlight.

"If you like it, take it." This thing was intended to be given to her, but she did it herself. "I have never given you a gift. This should be a token of our relationship. In this way, you should be able to

Now feel at ease."

Keepsake?

Lan Shan looked at the jade pendant in her hand. This was the best gift she had ever received since she was a child. Even though she had always rejected Han Xin's gifts before, it was because she had always cared about their identities.

"Qianyi, I thought you would dislike my identity at this moment, but I didn't expect that you don't care at all." Since he didn't care in her heart, she could tell the secret hidden in her heart. This secret she had never really known.

When others talked about it, thinking about the past, he said in an understatement. "You know, I am actually from the Northern Desert. My identity has never been accepted by others. I originally exchanged it on the wedding day of the Northern Desert Princess."
