"Yeah." Jian Xinan just hummed and said no more.

But Bai Li still said enthusiastically: "So Sister Nan, you also know them. They are so pitiful. They don't have parents to love them, and they have to come out to beg for food and be bullied. It's really miserable."

"Yes." Jian Xinan sighed softly and turned her eyes outside the pavilion, landing on the lotus pond, "But compared to other little beggars, they are still lucky."

"Yes, at least they still have someone to take them in." At this point, Bai Li paused. She had no intention of telling Qiu. Although they did not explain anything in particular, her intuition told her that Qiu was very mysterious.

Maybe they don't want others to know.

Jian Xinan didn't ask any more questions, she just looked away, smiled at Bai Li, then looked at the maid standing aside and said, "Go and guard over there."

"Yes." The maid responded and retreated, leaving only Bai Li and Jian Xinan in the pavilion.

"Li'er." Jian Xinan spoke slowly, with a little solemnity in her tone, "What kind of relationship do you have with the Second Emperor Brother now?"

"Ah?" Bai Li paused, suddenly remembering the scene on the roof last night, his face couldn't help but blush, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, now we can only be regarded as friends, to be exact

A little bit more than friends."

I don't know why, but looking at this Jian Xinan, Bai Li can't help but think of those two sisters. Perhaps, this can be regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance.

"A little more than friends?" Jian Xinan muttered and repeated, but did not continue.

Bai Li didn't know why she asked this, but he didn't think much about it. He rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered what happened last time. He looked around and saw no one. He came closer to Jian Xinan and said, "Sister Nan, are you there?"

I've always wanted to ask you a question."

"Huh?" Jian Xinan raised her eyebrows, waiting for her question.

"It's just...it's just..." When the words came to her lips, Bai Li hesitated a little. After all, she sneaked in that night, which was not a very honorable thing.

But if she didn't ask this question, she would definitely remain depressed.

Thinking of this, Bai Li summoned up the courage and said, "What I want to ask is, does your family have a big snake?"

"Hahaha..." Jian Xinan suddenly laughed, then covered her mouth, "I thought you wouldn't ask."

"What?" Bai Li stared, as if she had been waiting for him to ask.

Then the answer to the question is already obvious.

Pouting dissatisfied, Bai Li said: "My guess is indeed correct. Sister Nan, you have such strong tastes. People tend to keep cats and dogs as pets, but you keep snakes, and one of them can lose his temper."

, a giant snake that generates electricity.”

Pets you keep?

Now that she has found a reason for herself, she doesn't have to think of other excuses.

Listening to Bai Li's rambling, Jian Xinan's smile became brighter and brighter. After she finished speaking, she agreed: "Yes, that snake has a bad temper. One day I can't stand it any more, so I will throw it away."

Drop it."

"Throw it away? It's a pity to throw it away. It's not easy for it to grow like that." Bai Li frowned, then his eyes lit up and said: "How about Sister Nan, please teach me how to make it more obedient, and I will

I’ve helped you raise it.”

"..." Jian Xinan really regretted not dragging Yin Moxuan along, because she really wanted to see Yin Moxuan's reaction after hearing these words.

"This, it's actually not that difficult, but..." With a narrow smile on her lips, Jian Xinan deliberately played off her words.

"But what?" Bai Li asked anxiously.

"It's just that I want to know why you want to raise it? Shouldn't the average girl's family be afraid of snakes?"

"I have never said that I am an ordinary girl." Bai Li curled her lips and raised her chin: "I am the most powerful and invincible beautiful girl in the universe..."

"Ahem..." Jian Xinan lightly covered her mouth, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed into two lines.

Suddenly, she straightened her gaze and said seriously to Bai Li: "Can I know what happened when you came to Prince Xuan's Mansion that night?"

It’s coming, it’s finally coming…

Bai Li's face fell slightly. She knew that she would have to face this problem sooner or later, but...

He glanced at Jian Xinan guiltily and saw that she was just looking at him with a smile, waiting for her answer.

"This...that...do I have to say it?" She asked tentatively, but Jian Xinan didn't say anything and just nodded.

Rolling his big eyes, Bai Lihu said: "Sister Nan, before I answer this question, can I ask you a question first?"

"Well, you say it." Jian Xinan was very generous and let Bai Li speak first.

Bai Li thought for a while and asked: "Um...how is your relationship with Prince Xuan?"

"It's very good." This question was asked suddenly, but Jian Xinan answered it quite readily. After that, she added: "Think about it, if it's not good, why has he only had me as his concubine after so many years?

But he did not accept the concubine."

Hearing her answer like this, Bai Li felt tangled in her heart.

The relationship between them as husband and wife is so good. If she tells the truth, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings to Jian Xinan. Then it will be fine if the sisters cannot make it. If it causes conflicts between them, it will be a serious sin.

.

Thinking of this, Bai Li sighed as if he was resigned to his fate and said, "Okay, although this reason is a bit hard to tell, since Sister Nan must know, I can only tell it."

As she said that, she looked forward and said softly: "Actually, I have sleepwalking... Oh, it's nocturnal syndrome. When I get sick, I will wander around. I don't know why I ended up wandering to Prince Xuan's Mansion that night.

Then after seeing the giant snake, I was frightened and woke up, but was stunned again soon. Well, that's it."

What Bai Li said was very serious, so serious that even she thought it was true.

"Nocturnal wandering syndrome?" After Jian Xinan heard her words, he stared, as if he had heard something interesting, and then laughed: "Hahaha, Xiao Li'er, you are really too bad."

It’s so funny, I even have nocturnal wandering syndrome.”

Bai Li scratched her head. In fact, she was not sure whether Jian Xinan would believe it, but she said it anyway.

Fortunately, Jian Xinan did not continue to ask further questions. She looked around and asked, "Is the Second Emperor very busy these days? I heard from the maid that he is not even in the mansion."

"Yes." Bai Li nodded, with a faint smile on his face: "Isn't he solving that theft case with Prince Xuan?"

"Theft?" Jian Xinan looked puzzled, then said clearly: "The case was solved yesterday, and the thief was brought to justice. Didn't you hear, Li'er?"
