"Mu Wanru." Xia Yihan finally spoke. He stared at her with a faint smile on his lips, "You really surprised me. It seems that you were not just recuperating in the Tianyin Kingdom for more than ten years.
."
"We must do this." Hu Ling'er smiled brightly and suddenly reached out to hold Xia Yihan and pulled him to the table, "Prince Han, why don't we come to negotiate a deal."
Xia Yihan looked at her in disbelief as she held her hand. Although her movement was sudden, she could clearly shake it off.
But now... not only did he have no intention of letting go, but he felt that her hand was warm and even felt familiar.
It wasn't until he sat down at the table that he seemed to suddenly wake up. He took back his hand and said in a deep voice: "What deal?"
Looking at his reaction, Hu Ling'er snickered in her heart, but she still said calmly: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I did not marry into Prince Han's palace voluntarily, just like you don't really want to marry me. But the emperor's order is difficult.
Parental love is hard to give up, so I had to marry you."
I don't know why, but when she heard this, Xia Yihan's face darkened, and she felt very unhappy.
Maybe this is a man's pride. When he hears a woman say that she doesn't want to marry him, she will inevitably be unhappy.
Hu Ling'er naturally saw his unkind look, but continued: "And I can also tell you that the emperor did not reach any agreement with my father. I received the imperial edict of marriage the next morning when I came back, which really made me sad.
We were shocked, so we also doubted whether the emperor had ulterior motives."
"Then what is the deal you are talking about?" Xia Yihan looked at Hu Ling'er and asked quietly.
"That's it..." Hu Ling'er smiled slyly, holding her chin with one hand and leaning towards Xia Yihan, "I will help you find out the true purpose of the emperor's marriage, but you have to promise me that our marriage is just a fake, and everything else
Once the truth is revealed, you can divorce me, and then we will have nothing to do with each other."
Hu Ling'er obviously saw Xia Yihan's expression change, but added: "Of course, during this period, we can act in front of people, but behind people... you know."
Xia Yihan naturally understood what this meant. She just wanted him not to touch her.
This woman...
An unknown anger arose spontaneously, and Xia Yihan said without hesitation: "Mu Wanru, why do I agree to this? Also, do you really not want to be my princess?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grasped her chin.
Hu Ling'er raised her eyebrows without fear and chuckled: "I really don't really want to, but..."
As he said that, Hu Ling'er leaned forward, as if she was about to fall into his arms: "If you, my lord, make a strong request, Wanru and I won't be able to resist, right?"
"You..." Xia Yihan almost jumped up. Her approach actually made him feel his heart beat faster, and even his body, which had always been cold, became warm.
Do you have a fever too?
His eyes flickered and he looked uncertain, "This matter will be discussed later. I have to leave first."
Leaving these words behind, Xia Yihan strode away. The moment she opened the door, she almost bumped into Xiaomiao who was lying at the door and listening excitedly.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Miao was startled, but Xia Yihan left without looking back.
After blinking and blinking again, Xiaomiao happily ran into the house, "Miss, you won, right?"
Inside the room, Hu Ling'er was still sitting at the table with her chin in one hand and a proud smile on her face.
She finally caught Xia Yihan's weakness. Even though he had a monster face, when he smiled, his peach blossom eyes were alluring, and sometimes he even deliberately tried to charm people.
He seems to be romantic and evil, but once a woman takes the initiative to approach him, his true colors will be revealed and his disgust will be obvious.
Except...that Sang Rong.
Thinking of this, Hu Ling'er suddenly became lost and lay lazily on the table.
Xiaomiao looked at her stunned look and couldn't help but said: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you still feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine." Hu Ling'er took a deep breath, raised her eyes and said, "Where's Min Mo, hasn't he come back yet?"
Just as Xiaomiao was about to answer, Min Mo's voice sounded outside: "Miss, Min Mo is back."
Hearing Min Mo's voice, Hu Ling'er's spirit was shaken. She quickly straightened up and looked at Min Mo who was standing at the door: "Come in quickly, what did dad say?"
Min Mo walked in, closed the door, and handed Hu Ling'er a letter, "This is what the master asked Min Mo to bring to the young lady."
Hu Ling'er took it and opened it, looking at the contents of the letter. The more she read, the bigger the smile on her lips became.
Things turned out just as she expected. It seems that the key to this matter lies in the three-leaf blood lotus...
Seeing the smile on Hu Ling'er's face, Xiao Miao and Min Mo looked at each other. Whenever such a smile appeared on her face, it meant someone was going to be unlucky.
Xia Yihan went back to the room directly and drank several sips of herbal tea before calming down the annoyance in her heart.
What the hell is he doing?
Didn't you hate this woman before but didn't like it? But today...
He rubbed his temples. He must have been upset about Sang Rong and drank too much wine last night, which is why he had this abnormal feeling.
But... who was the man next to her in Guanyue Tower last night?
Although he only saw the back of the man, that person was definitely not Min Mo. What had this woman done in private?
Also...she said before that she would help her find out the truth about the emperor's marriage, and her determination made people believe that she had a way.
He was really becoming more and more curious about this Mu Wanru.
Shaking his head, Xia Yihan closed his eyes. How could he be curious about other women.
There is no whereabouts of his Ling'er yet, and he will not give up until he finds her.
Tomorrow is the day to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and because I pretended to be sick, I didn't go to the palace to greet the Emperor and the Queen Mother. This ceremony is unavoidable.
So only after returning home to say hello, he could take a trip to the mountain stronghold on the other side of Yin Qi Mountain.
Tang Ling also had some things he wanted to ask in detail.
It was undeniable that Tang Ling didn't come to the appointment that day and there was no news from him, which made him feel a little uneasy.
But he kept telling himself that this uneasiness was just because he was afraid that his plan would be known to others, or that no one would cultivate a secret force for him. That's right, that's it.
Xia Yihan raised his head and looked around. This place was really not the place he wanted to stay.
What he wanted before was the kind of unrestrained, carefree, and spontaneous life, but what he wants now is to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with his beloved woman, living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.
Therefore, he wanted to find out the truth about Qi Hongqing's intention to harm him as soon as possible, and also find Hu Ling'er, and then the two of them leave this place of right and wrong.
And Mu Wanru's suggestion might really help him get twice the result with half the effort.
The only person he trusts most now is Sang Rong, but after all, she is the daughter of the left prime minister, and the emperor is still interested in her. After that night, he also felt a little embarrassed, so it was better not to let her get involved in some things.
, at least this would leave a way out for her.
But is that Mu Wanru really worth trusting?
In the past two days of deliberate avoidance, he didn't spend much time with her. Tomorrow is the day when he comes back, and he must test her well by then.
At noon, Hu Ling'er was having lunch alone boredly.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she had no interest in these foods.
I saw her poking a hole in the duck with chopsticks, then pounding the sweet and sour fish, and finally playing with the soup with a spoon, but she didn't eat anything.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't you like eating these?" Xiaomiao didn't know about Hu Ling'er's pregnancy yet and was a little suspicious of her behavior.
After all, her appetite was good a few days ago.
"Maybe I had a fever last night, so I don't have much appetite." Hu Ling'er put down her chopsticks, looking a little out of sorts.
She heard that some people vomited in the early stages of pregnancy. She was lucky that she didn't vomit.
Otherwise, you can't hide it even if you want to.
Looking at her appearance, Xiao Miao became more and more anxious: "What should we do? The young lady is weak and can't survive without eating. How about Xiao Miao go and get you some light porridge herself?"
"What's wrong? Princess, can't you eat?" At this moment, Xia Yihan's voice came in.
Hu Ling'er looked up and saw him slowly walking towards the house, still looking like a blind man.
He raised his eyebrows, it's dinner time now, what is he doing here?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xia Yihan spoke up again: "Xiao Miao, why don't you help me sit down? Give me some more bowls and chopsticks."
"Ah, oh." Xiaomiao was shocked for a moment, and then immediately realized what was going on. She helped him sit down opposite Hu Ling'er and gave him a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
"You go down." Xia Yihan said in a deep voice. Xiaomiao glanced at Hu Ling'er and then withdrew.
Hu Ling'er looked at Xia Yihan and said with disbelief: "You... want to eat here?"
Xia Yihan raised her lips: "Yes, can't you?"
"Of course, these, these, these... Your Majesty, please eat them all." Upon hearing this, Hu Ling'er beamed and pushed all the plates in front of him in front of him.
The corners of Xia Yihan's mouth twitched slightly, but looking at her still pale face, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Your body...isn't you well yet?"
This slightly worried voice made Hu Ling'er feel warm in her heart. Then she put her arm on Xia Yihan's arm with a sweet smile and said charmingly: "My lord, are you concerned about me?"
