"Remember, 'The sparrow is not the sparrow, how can it know the pain of the sparrow? On the contrary, the sparrow cannot know the joy of the sparrow!' Sir, if I have the chance, I still hope to be a sparrow."

She thought of the agreement she had made with Xuanyuan Huang. Once all the burdens were removed, she would leave and be with him. She didn't ask for fine clothes and fine food, but she wanted to be well fed, clothed, warm, safe and happy.

Standing side by side, the two of them stood in silence as the words fell.

After a long time, the man sighed lightly, a little regretful, but full of helplessness.

Turning his eyes, he looked at Ling Zihan's side face: "Stop fighting with your life, child."

"Sir, is it necessary to remind me of my life every time?" Ling Zihan smiled, but the smile was so pale that only he could see it.

"This is fate and your karma. My son, there are dragons and tigers hiding around you now, but the situation in Beijing is chaotic. It would be best if you can save the people around you and become independent. If necessary, I will help you!

"His voice was distant and moving, as if coming from the horizon. After a short pause, he glanced at Ling Zihan again, turned his back and said: "That's all, I'll give you one more message, don't bear all the troubles alone. My child, you have already

Now that you have a home of your own, let them help you share some of the burden occasionally!"

The silver-gray figure flashed past, coming and going in a hurry, but it was so free and easy, not stained by the world.

Ling Zihan sat on the roof, watching the departing figure disappear into the night.

Slowly raising her head, she looked up at the sky, thinking over her husband's words over and over again, and made a decision in her mind: keep a low profile and act in secret.

The next day, as usual, Ling Zihan went to see the Queen Mother early in the morning, and consulted with the Queen Mother together with Xuanyuan Qian and the imperial physician. They confirmed that the Queen Mother could leave to return to Beijing tomorrow, and then left the Queen Mother's palace.

But on the way out, I bumped into the prince again.

In the past few days, the prince seemed to have been talking to her in different ways. Even if he just said hello casually, he would take a long time. This gave Ling Zihan a headache. If it had been a few days ago, and Xia Xia

Yes, it was so perfunctory, but today Xia Xia happened to be called by Fei Yang, and she bumped into the prince again. It was really... eh!

"Miss Ling checked the Queen Mother's pulse again. It was really hard!"

"My maid has met the prince." Ling Zihan showed her blessing slightly, and then said in a very polite but deliberately distant tone: "My maid just checked the Ping'an pulse for the queen mother. The queen mother's body cold syndrome has been controlled. You can go tomorrow.

Return to the palace to recuperate. I hope the prince is at ease. If the prince is fine, I will leave first and will not prevent the prince from going to see the Queen Mother."

"Do you, Miss Ling, insist on talking to me like this?" For several days, her attitude was as stubborn as a rock on a rocky mountain, without wavering at all.

Ling Zihan glanced at Xuanyuan Yan strangely, "Prince, did my daughter-in-law say something wrong? The prince said it bluntly."

"Ling Zihan, why do you always reject me thousands of miles away!" He raised his voice slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.

"The prince was joking, but I didn't mean it."

Is she rejecting her thousands of miles away? Anyone with eyes can see it, right? She treats him like a jackal, tiger, and leopard, and rejecting him thousands of miles away is not enough!

"Then tell me, why do you hide from me every day you see me?"

It seems that he has made up his mind to get to the bottom of this today.

Although Ling Zihan was upset, she could still cope with it. She just smiled and said: "My daughter is not hiding from the Crown Prince. First of all, my daughter has not done anything wrong, so how can I avoid it? Secondly, my daughter and the Crown Prince

They have never interacted with each other before, and when they met, apart from greeting and replying, I really couldn’t think of anything else that I needed to communicate with the Crown Prince. Even if I really wanted to avoid the Crown Prince, it was to avoid suspicion and for the sake of the Crown Prince. After all,

My daughter is a female who has not left the boudoir, and she is engaged to your brother, so she should be avoided, lest she be used as an excuse again and many unpleasant things are said to be disgracing her reputation."

After she finished speaking, she smiled meaningfully, with sarcasm hidden in the charm at the end of her eyes.

She had talked about it all. If the prince was still ignorant, she would have really overestimated him.

After all, the prince understood Ling Zihan's words, especially the last sentence, and knew what she said that was disgraceful to his reputation. He looked at him deeply again, and then suddenly

He turned around, coughed a few times to hide his emotions, and then waved his sleeves to ask her to leave.

And just after she left, the prince had already walked up the steps of the Queen Mother's palace. But for some reason, he still turned around and cast a deep and incomprehensible glance in the direction she left.

At night, the room is dark and the curtains are hung low.

Ling Zihan sat by the bed and called "Xia Xia" twice in succession, but no one answered. After confirming that she had fallen asleep under the influence of the medicine, she quietly walked out of the room.

The door opened slowly, and Qingdai was waiting at the door.

"Young Master, everything is ready."

"Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!" Ling Zihan continued to walk forward, seemingly relaxed and calm, but she knew that every step was very heavy.

As she got closer to the courtyard gate, the desire to stop in her heart became stronger and stronger.

But when I thought of Mr. last night's words, my decision became firm again.

Take a gamble!

Her luck has always been good, and this time... it will be good too.

"Qing Qing." Ling Zihan climbed up the stairs in front of the courtyard. Before she could cross the threshold, she heard that evil voice calling out his unique nickname.

Ling Zihan's hand hidden under her sleeves trembled slightly. For the first time, she was so cruel to poison. Especially the poison hidden in her fingers at this moment.

"Qingqing, come out and walk with me." Standing outside the threshold, Xuanyuan Huang stretched out his hand towards her.

"Okay." Ling Zihan tightened the collar of her pajamas and glanced at him. Her firm cold eyes also strengthened her heart, causing her to finally step out of the threshold and reach out her hand, gently placing her fingers on his.

on the palm of your hand.

Holding it tightly, Xuanyuan Huang felt the cold temperature of her fingertips and frowned without saying a word. He just took off his coat, covered her body, and tightened the collar irresistibly.

"You're not allowed to take it off. If you dare to take it off, take it off with what's underneath!"

A word of overbearing yet gentle care miraculously calmed down the uneasiness in Ling Zihan's heart, but she still whispered thank you.

They left Wenjin Pavilion hand in hand and walked slowly in the palace, like a couple having a tryst at night, walking slowly.

The two deliberately "avoided" the main road and walked on a remote road, but they still inevitably met several palace maids and eunuchs. When the palace people saw these two people, they all knelt down in a hurry and did not dare to raise their heads.

Watching the two figures leave the palace road.

As for after leaving, there are only two possibilities. One is to exaggerate and spread the story of the two of them on their night out in private, and the other is to swallow everything they saw.

The reason why Ling Zihan and the others were so arrogant was because of the first result.

They need someone to see them so that the next plan will appear more naturally.

In a secluded place, the two of them knew that the palace people had left, but not all of them had left. There were still a few gossips who were hiding in the dark and watching secretly.

"Qingqing, why don't you add some chips to the show." With a devilish smile, Xuanyuan Huang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Ling Zihan's slender waist, then turned slightly, adjusted the angle, hid Ling Zihan's figure, and pressed towards her.

passed.

The kiss fell lightly, like a butterfly resting on her lips.

He just gently sucked her lips and stopped.

"Qingqing, this kind of night tour is more credible."

Ling Zihan raised the corners of her lips, flashed her charming eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are... full of confidence."

"For our sake, we must win this time." After pecking her lips, Xuanyuan Huang left her lips and said, "Use your kiss to cheer me up?"

In these years on the battlefield, he has experienced life and death. But this time the plan has nothing to do with life and death, but another gamble on fate.

"I owe you, I'll pay you back when I get back to Beijing." Ling Zihan stretched out her hand to touch his face, but at this moment, she heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming from the quiet palace, which seemed to be the guards in the palace.

Move quickly.
