"Miss-"

Most of the people in the military camp knew Lin Tingwan. Basically, they were all soldiers who had returned from Liangzhou. If you look into it more deeply, they could even be said to be comrades who had fought on the battlefield together.

Lin Tingwan nodded to the man. She had already noticed that Lin Yuehong was gone, and it was not difficult to guess where he had gone. Lin Tingwan had only one thought in her mind at this moment, and that was to end the battle quickly.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inside." The soldier said respectfully.

Lin Tingwan nodded and walked in quickly.

Pei Yanli sat on a large wooden chair, holding a blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand.

He has a handsome face, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, his eyes slightly closed, as if he is enjoying the aroma of tea. He is dressed in gorgeous clothes with loose lapels, and a jade pendant hangs around his waist, swaying gently with his movements.

"Are you here?" Pei Yanli raised his eyes and looked at Lin Tingwan with a complicated expression.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince—" Lin Tingwan bowed to him.

Pei Yanli never thought that Lin Tingwan had done this himself. He asked in disbelief, "Why?"

Neither of them was stupid. Lin Tingwan realized on the way here that Pei Yanli was here to test whether there were any other people involved in this matter besides Lin Mingqian.

But Lin Tingwan jumped into this trap on her own initiative. She didn't want to put Lin Mingqian in danger. This was her fault alone, so she naturally couldn't let others bear the consequences.

Lin Tingwan took a deep breath and changed her tone when the words came to her lips, "Your Highness, I don't want to get married. I just want to stay at home and accompany my parents and relatives."

Pei Yanli frowned tightly when he heard this. She was clearly not like this in her previous life.

In the beginning of her previous life, Lin Tingwan wanted to marry him. Pei Yanli could see that he was not a fool. Although they drifted apart after they got married, they still had each other in their hearts.

If Pei Jinan hadn't appeared, the two of them would have been a harmonious couple. It was because of that person's appearance that the two of them ended up like that.

He recalled all the times he met Lin Tingwan in this life. His eyes suddenly flashed and he asked, "Yangyang, do you still remember Tuanzi?"

Lin Tingwan's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Pei Yanli in disbelief, "How do you know Tuanzi?"

After he finished speaking, Pei Yanli's eyes instantly turned red. He stood up and held Lin Tingwan's arm tightly, saying word by word, "You're back, you're really back."

As soon as he said this, Lin Tingwan knew what Pei Yanli meant. She said calmly, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now knows my identity, he should also understand what I mean, right?"

Pei Yanli's voice was low and heavy, as if he was suppressing the grief and anger in his heart, "Yangyang, tell me, I was tricked away by the Fang family at that time. If I were in the palace, I would never let you Fang Yule do this to you, Yangyang—"

Lin Tingwan kept his head down from beginning to end, as if he couldn't hear what Pei Yanli was saying.

He was wearing gorgeous clothes, but he looked so tired and helpless that people couldn't help but feel sympathy and pity for him, but Lin Tingwan remained unmoved from beginning to end.

The lives of hundreds of people in the Lin family will not be so easily ended just because of his words. She wants to end this sorrow from the root.

"Yangyang, I came back this time just to be with you. Can you give me this chance? Let me make up for my past mistakes. You can't just destroy everything that happened between you and me, right, Yangyang?"

Seeing Pei Yanli like this, Lin Tingwan just found it ridiculous.

He didn't cherish her when they were together, and now that they have missed each other, he runs to her and acts pitiful, which is simply laughable.

Lin Tingwan impatiently broke away from Pei Yanli's hand and said, "Your Highness, we both know the outcome of our relationship. Please don't make it difficult for me. I don't want to repeat the same mistake."

"Yangyang, you should know that you have always been the only one in my heart. Those women were just for show. Why don't you believe me?" Pei Yanli's eyes were full of determination, as if every word he just said came from the bottom of his heart.

What he said was right, but Lin Tingwan didn't believe a single word he said. If everything was as simple as he said, how could Lin Tingwan have been framed and killed in his previous life?

Everything of the Lin family, including Tuanzi, Yuzhu, Lianqiao and thousands of people who had helped them, died, and some of them even had no remains left.

The only thing Lin Tingwan can do now is to stay away from Pei Yanli as far as possible.

Although Lin Tingwan didn't know why the two came back, she could vaguely guess that it was related to Pei Yanli, so she slowly said, "I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this time. If it weren't for you, I think I would have really passed away."

The more he heard her say this, the more uncomfortable Pei Yanli felt. He reached out and held Lin Tingwan's hand tightly, "Yangyang, don't treat me like this. You and I are husband and wife, and we share honor and disgrace..."

He was interrupted by Lin Tingwan before he finished speaking, "Your Highness, we are no longer husband and wife. Our relationship ended when I died. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Lin Tingwan tried hard to pull her hand out of Pei Yanli's, but he refused to let go.

"Yangyang, even if I beg you, can you please not say such things? I really can't bear it." Pei Yanli's eyes were red, as if tears would fall at any time.

He held Lin Tingwan's hand tightly. He didn't know if he would have the chance to hold her hand again in the future if he let go.

Lin Tingwan sighed, "Your Highness, I don't want to get involved in the disputes of the palace again in my next life. I just want to protect my family. Please help me."

Pei Yanli shook his head helplessly and said, "Yangyang, listen to me. I was an emperor for decades in my previous life, and I know everything. There will be no fighting this time. You just need to sit on the throne and enjoy your life quietly."

Lin Tingwan shook her head firmly, "Your Highness, it is I who do not have this blessing. Your Highness can let anyone enjoy this blessing, but that person cannot be yours."

Pei Yanli looked at Lin Tingwan in confusion. He didn't know why everything had become so different. He didn't know why she suddenly became so determined. "I don't believe that you don't have loneliness in your heart."

Pei Yanli fell into self-doubt. He couldn't help but suspect that all those years between them were just his own imagination.

"Why are you so hard-hearted?"
