"Yangyang, who is this?" Pei Yanli looked at He Shiyi and asked.

"Sent by my father to protect my brother."

"Oh?" Pei Yanli looked him up and down, "Why is he wearing a mask? Why have I never seen him in the Lin family army?"

Lin Tingwan lowered his head, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, "Your Highness, you are wrong. There are so many soldiers in my Lin family army. How could you possibly have seen them all?"

"What Yangyang said does make sense." He suddenly changed the subject, "Since he is here to protect the General, he must be a skilled martial artist. Why not let him compete with Changfeng?"

Lin Tingwan frowned, her eyes full of displeasure. She just felt that Pei Yanli was extremely boring. "He is here to protect my brother's safety, not to compete with others. If Your Highness the Crown Prince really wants to see it, I will ask my father to find a few idle people in the army for you to compete with Changfeng."

She spoke the word "idler" with great emphasis.

Although she had humiliated him, Pei Yanli was not displeased at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yangyang is right. I was not thoughtful enough."

Lin Tingwan was filled with annoyance. In her previous life, she had been married to Pei Yanli for sixteen years. She knew best what kind of person he was. He was only interested in profit. As long as Lin Mingqian, Lin Yuehong and the Lin family army were still there, he would coax her no matter what she did or said.

"How is the Zhonglang General? I heard that he was injured and I am very worried."

Lin Tingwan looked at him pretending to be worried, but she just wanted to spit on his face. Only if his brother died would his wish come true!

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My brother is fine now." She smiled.

"That's great. I feel relieved then. By the way, it's getting late and I haven't had dinner yet. How about Yangyang stay with me?" Pei Yanli suddenly smiled.

Every minute and every second she spent with Pei Yanli made her feel uncomfortable, so she said, "Eleven, it seems you haven't eaten yet, come with us."

The smile on Pei Yanli's face froze for a moment. He stared at He Shiyi for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin Tingwan sat in the carriage, looking out the window, absent-minded. Pei Yanli beside her had been talking to her. She nodded in response from time to time, but her mind was full of other things.

Perhaps sensing her perfunctory attitude, Pei Yanli gradually fell silent. However, she had no interest in why he suddenly became silent, and she was still happy and peaceful.

They arrived at the restaurant in a short while. Lin Tingwan looked at Pei Yanli's outstretched hand and pretended not to see it, and jumped off the carriage.

Pei Yanli withdrew his hand with some disappointment and followed Lin Tingwan silently.

When the waiter saw Changfeng, he took them to the private room upstairs.

He Shiyi lowered his voice and whispered, "Miss, I'll be guarding you outside the door."

His voice at this time was different from usual, as if it was intentional. She immediately realized that He Shiyi probably knew Pei Yanli and didn't want to be recognized by him, but she really didn't want to be alone with him.

"Come with me." Then she went in.

The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. There was no choice but for He Shiyi to follow the two of them in.

A large wooden table is already filled with a variety of delicious food, which is colorful, fragrant and delicious, and exudes a charming aroma.

"Yangyang, I'll ask Changfeng to watch ahead of time, so you don't have to wait in boredom."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Tingwan said indifferently.

Pei Yanli stretched out his hand and placed the crystal clear Tremella and lotus seed soup in front of her, "I still remember this is your favorite." As he spoke, his eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.

Lin Tingwan smelled the familiar sweet smell and instantly felt it was extremely pungent. Her stomach began to churn and her body began to feel a faint pain. However, she still tried to stay calm and said with a pale face, "Your Highness, you are wrong. I never drink Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup."

Pei Yanli stared at her in a daze, his face pale, and he said incoherently, "How could that be? I clearly remember that you like to drink, and General Lin also said so."

Lin Tingwan looked at him steadily and said calmly, "Your Highness, people will change."

"It's okay. If you don't like it, eat something else." Pei Yanli took the lotus seed soup away and picked up a few other dishes for her with his chopsticks. This time she didn't say anything and ate them all.

Pei Yanli just looked at her and took a few bites from time to time, but He Shiyi did not move at all. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Since you are here to eat, why don't you eat?"

"Your Highness, I am not hungry yet."

Pei Yanli's eyes flickered, "Are you not hungry, or are you afraid to see the face under the mask?"

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" He Shiyi's eyes were gloomy. His hand under the table tightly grasped the short sword at his waist, and he wondered in his heart what the chances were of capturing Pei Yanli before Changfeng came in.

"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for him. His face is injured. Don't poke other people's scars." Lin Tingwan spoke at the right time, breaking the tense atmosphere.

After a long silence, Pei Yanli smiled and said, "It's my fault. Since this young guard doesn't want to eat, then he can go out and wait."

He Shiyi stood up and wanted to go out, but then he remembered that Lin Tingwan seemed unwilling to stay alone with him, so he tilted his head to look at her. Lin Tingwan winked at him, and the latter went out.

Pei Yanli looked like someone lost in thought.

At this moment, Lin Tingwan just wanted to finish eating quickly and stay away from him, so she kept stuffing food into her mouth, making it bulge out.

Pei Yanli couldn't help but laugh, "Eat slowly, don't choke." Then he poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

He Shiyi had also said this the day before, but when Pei Yanli said this, Lin Tingwan felt like vomiting. She frowned and put down her chopsticks, "I suddenly remembered that I have some important matters to deal with in the mansion, so I'll go first, Your Highness."

After saying that, she stood up, bowed to Pei Yanli, turned around and left without waiting for his reaction.

"Why do I feel that your figure looks very familiar?" Changfeng asked seriously.

He Shiyi said calmly, "Maybe you saw it wrong. There are many people like me in the army."

Chang Feng chuckled, "You may be able to fool others with these words, but you can't fool me."

After that, there was the sound of fighting.

Lin Tingwan quickly opened the door, only to see Changfeng clenching his fists and swinging them towards He Shiyi's face. He Shiyi dodged, quickly circled behind him on tiptoe, and kicked Changfeng in the lower back with his hind leg.

Changfeng dodged and actually went behind He Shiyi, reaching out to tear off his mask.

Lin Tingwan hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness, what's going on? Why would your subordinates bully my people?"

He Shiyi was stunned.
