Whenever Nian Qing wanted to touch her body, he would hesitate for a while before taking it back. That was the gap that had always existed between them.

If we could really go back to the original starting point, I'm afraid we would have to start all over again.

And will she be willing?

What else was he thinking about? He knew it was just wishful thinking, so how could he...

The hands hidden behind his back were clasped tightly, the corners of his mouth were still raised, and the indifferent smile concealed a different emotion: "Whether it's teasing or other intentions, the emperor's love for the young lady will naturally not be easy."

Change."

Teasing?

I couldn't help but chuckle secretly in my heart.

Listening to Nianqing's words, why is there a trace of pain hidden in my heart? Panic heart turned around resolutely and looked into those deep eyes: "You have always been used to listening to my thoughts quietly, but I have never

Take your feelings into consideration."

Feelings?

He never needed any of this, because he did it willingly and did not need her to feel guilty.

He slowly let go of his standing hands, lowered his body slightly, and asked, "Miss, why did you suddenly talk about this?"

"I don't know why..."

Even she herself didn't know why she felt like this when she heard his words. She had never felt that way before.

"I'm afraid that after staying in the palace for a long time, the young lady will worry too much."

Hearing this, he laughed lightly and said softly, "Maybe."

Looking at the distance between the two of them, Ye Yilan couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly.

Seeing the smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked up and smiled, which was different from before.

He stretched out his hand to brush away the remaining hair on her face, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "I wonder if Miss will be interested in going out of the palace for a walk today. If you stay in the palace for a long time, you will inevitably miss the days outside the palace.

."

She was unhappy, and even when she returned home, she didn't have the same smile as before.

His action just now made her feel strange thoughts that she had never felt before.

"Do you still remember that three years ago, we secretly left the house and were scolded by dad when we came back?"

Looking back on that period of time in the past, I couldn't help but reveal a longing smile on my lips. I gazed at the pear blossoms in the courtyard, and the affection in my eyes was deeply rooted in my heart.

His eyes were staring at her smile like a love, just like the bright stamens of a flower blooming in spring. Feeling it with determination, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes: "Remember."

Three years ago, it was he who stained her blood for the first time.

"My lady spent one night with Nian Qing in the ancestral hall."

Even if it's only for one night, how can I forget that scene?

"Perhaps, this time I will never punish you by kneeling for five days." The messy thoughts in his heart dissipated smoothly, he raised his eyes to look at the mask on his face, and involuntarily stretched his hand in front of him. "This mask.

.."

Subconsciously grabbing her hand, the look in his eyes showed only a hint of coldness and arrogance, and he said calmly: "Miss, it's time for us to leave the house."

After a moment, she slowly came back to her senses and immediately pulled her hand away.

The two of them were still sneaking out of the backyard three years ago. Ye Yilan remembered the events of that year very clearly. It was the first time she dared to sneak out of the house. When she thought of this, she felt a faint emotion.

A happy smile.

Nian Qing raised her head and stared at the bright moon that was gradually coming out. He would stay with her like this tonight. At least he could forget what happened in the palace outside the palace.

"Everything here is still the same as before."

Ye Yilan turned around and stared, seeing that he had been standing behind her. If he were here, how could he be so distant.

He walked up to him, took his hand, and warned him in a feigned displeasure: "If you stand behind me again, you don't need to accompany me."

Seeing her pretending to be angry, she snickered and said, "Okay, Nian Qing just obeys."

Apart from Murong Haochen, he was the only one who could truly accommodate himself.

Unknowingly, she came to Zuixiang Tower. After Nian Qing saw the situation, he couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you going in?"

"Young lady see you."

lady?

He actually ordered the people in Zuixiang Tower to call him this way, fearing that others would not know that Zuixiang Tower belonged to him.

"Nian Qing, since you're here, go up and sit down." Now that she's here, what choice does she have?

Nian Qing followed him, his vigilant eyes always looking at every move around him, but the people present looked at the man wearing the mask with strange eyes.

But there was no one talking about him, but they were talking about the woman in front of him.

"That person is the one who is dear to Fourth Master's heart. Last time Fourth Master taught a scoundrel here."

"This lady is quite pretty, no wonder the Fourth Master is so interested in her."

"That's right, that's right, our fourth master is just as infatuated as the current emperor."

"Fourth Master?"

The people sitting nearby couldn't help but smile to themselves with the wine glasses on their lips.

Fourth Master’s woman?

If Ziling hadn't told him that Zuixiang Tower had always been where Murong Haochen went, he might not have known today that the people here actually knew him, and using the title Fourth Master among this group of people would probably

There may also be his spy hidden here.

He raised his eyes to look at that figure, and secretly raised an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.

Just when Ye Yilan was about to sit down, she was suddenly grabbed by someone's wrist tightly. She looked back with panicked eyes, glanced around, and said softly: "Why are you here?"

I saw her appearing here, but there are people here who are all Murong Haochen. If this matter comes to light...

He let go of his hand ruthlessly, his eyes filled with a trace of hostility.

Nian Qing watched the moment he grabbed her, his hands already clenched secretly, and he could only watch silently.

When he saw her letting go of her hand, he whispered softly in his ear: "The king is discussing something with his wife. Can you lend me a moment to talk?"

He has not looked for her in the past few days. Now that she is here, how can he let go and miss an opportunity? After all, Murong Haochen has no idea that his woman is now with him.

Borrow a step? I'm afraid, I have to...

His eyes looked at Nian Qing inadvertently, but he never glanced at himself, but said: "Nian Qing, will stay here and won't let anyone get close."

Murong Haoli glanced at him, but did not take him to heart. He hugged her in his arms and chuckled: "Madam's subordinates are quite considerate."

Ye Yilan's eyes were full of disappointment. If he stopped her, she might have a reason to refuse.

Shun Ran raised his eyes and saw the disappointment in her eyes, and saw Murong Haoli's hands...

The moment she clenched her fists, she pushed him away and released her hands resolutely.

"If nothing happens, Your Majesty, please don't pester me. After all, everyone here knows that I belong to the Fourth Master. I'm afraid it will be bad if they see me."

Now she can no longer have any relationship with him.

Hearing this, he chuckled disdainfully and said, "You should have known this would happen when you became Fourth Brother's concubine."

When Ye Yilan was about to speak, she was taken into the guest room by him before she could react.

Nian Qing looked at the two of them, how could he stop them? He had the intention but was powerless.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the mask he had taken off in his hands, with a cold and arrogant look in his eyes.

"Don't move, let me hug you."

Before she could react, she had already been hugged by Murong Haoli. In the past, she would never refuse, but now...

But now, she doesn't feel any affection for him.

His head was buried deeply in his shoulder, and his slowly breathing words came in: "When I was at the border, your shadow was always in my mind. When I heard that you became the fourth brother's concubine,

, do you know how much my heart hurts. But now, the love between us is no longer worth the time you spent with your fourth brother in the past six months."

He should have married her in the first place, so that Murong Haochen wouldn't have the opportunity to take advantage of her. What his father once said would come true, but it was fate after all.

She closed her eyes and meditated quietly for a while, tried her best to break free from his hand, and said decisively: "If the prince is just reminiscing about old times, I'd better leave first."

Murong Haoli turned her body to face him, clasping her shoulders tightly with both hands, not wanting to let her go at all: "Yilan, I finally met you tonight. This was outside the palace. Fourth brother didn't even want to let her go."

If you don't know, why should you worry?"

Not aware?

If you knew that Zuixiang Tower belonged to him, you would still think so.

He stared with cold eyes and said calmly: "There is no possibility between us, unless the prince wants to usurp the throne."

Only if he gets the throne can he get himself. If such a day comes, he will naturally not be alone with him. He is Murong Haochen's person, and the vows he made will not be changed easily.
