Ever since people knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in Liangzhou City, many people often gathered around the military camp, and everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After all, Liangzhou is located in a remote area, unlike the capital city, and you won't see people of such noble status here on a daily basis.

But after this incident, Pei Yanli no longer had to stay in the military camp every day. If barbarians infiltrated the civilian population, the consequences would be disastrous.

Pei Yanli has been staying in the Lin residence these days. Lin Tingwan sees him every day. After a while, Lin Tingwan can't help feeling a little irritated. After all, it would be unpleasant for anyone to have his enemy hanging around in front of him every day.

So, Lin Tingwan thought of a way. She left the house at dawn every morning and did not come back until curfew. Even if Pei Yanli wanted to find her, he could not find her.

Lin Tingwan has been practicing swordsmanship with He Shiyi these days. Under his careful teaching, her strength has also been greatly improved. Although she is not a top-notch master now, she can deal with two servants who know some basic kung fu.

The prince is worthy of being the prince, he is extremely powerful. Although he cannot meet Lin Tingwan, he has a way to make Lin Tingwan come to him on his own initiative.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is greeted by your humble servant." Lin Tingwan bowed respectfully.

Pei Yanli quickly stood up and wanted to help her up, but he avoided her without leaving a trace.

His hands clenched slightly involuntarily.

Lin Tingwan was wearing a white shawl, with a long sword on her waist and a hairpin on her head to hold up her hair. Apart from her chubby face, she looked extremely heroic. Pei Yanli couldn't help but be attracted to her.

"What did you do?"

"I thought Your Highness knew about it." Lin Tingwan looked at him in surprise.

She knew Pei Yanli's methods very well. Now that she was no longer under his control, even so, he would definitely not let her go easily.

Based on Lin Tingwan's understanding of Pei Yanli, he was used to keeping everything under his control, so Lin Tingwan simply turned a blind eye to it.

The smile on his face froze for a moment. "Yangyang, what are you talking about? I haven't seen you in the past few days."

Lin Tingwan lowered her head. She didn't want to expose his lies at this moment, so she just nodded in agreement, "I have been interested in swordsmanship these days and have been practicing."

There was no need for her to lie to Pei Yanli. After all, nothing in this world could be hidden from Pei's eyes. It would be better for her to tell the truth.

He looked at Lin Tingwan in surprise, "When did you become interested in martial arts? I remember that you have always been only interested in beautiful jewelry and exquisite dresses."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

Seeing her suspicious look, Pei Yanli finally realized that they were not married yet and they had not spent much time together. "I remember that these were your favorite things when you were a child."

"Your Highness, you also said that this was a childhood thing. No one is unchanging." Lin Tingwan looked at him steadily, but it seemed as if he was looking at another person through him.

Pei Yanli couldn't help but feel a little flustered, "That being said, I know Yangyang is not the type who gets bored with the old and loves the new."

Hearing this, Lin Tingwan seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Your Highness, this is wrong. I am just an ordinary person. It is human nature to like the new and dislike the old. I don't think there is anything wrong with this."

In her previous life, after she married Pei Yanli, he married many women, but she never took them seriously because she knew that this was the evil nature of men, they were fickle and easily disliked the old and loved the new, and had many wives and concubines, surrounded by all kinds of women.

"I don't believe that you are not such a person."

Lin Tingwan seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Your Highness and I have not seen each other for several years. Although we are engaged, it is only the will of the late emperor. There has never been any affair between us."

Pei Yanli looked at her in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that she could say such words.

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want me to do today? I have something important to do later."

Pei Yanli stared at her for a long time before he slowly said, "I will be returning to the capital tomorrow."

"Your Highness, be careful and have a safe journey."

Pei Yanli was silent for a while, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"You must return to Shangjing safely."

Pei Yanli looked at her in disbelief, "Mrs. Lin misses you very much, Yangyang, are you really not going back to the capital?"

"I want to stay here with my brother and father, and I hope Your Highness will grant my wish."

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, then Yangyang, you have to be well here. I will wait for you to come back."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lin Tingwan bowed, still looking respectful. No one could find fault with him. However, Pei Yanli always felt that there was a gap between them.

"I'll take my leave." After saying that, Lin Tingwan left. Pei Yanli behind her opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

As she got further and further away from Pei Yanli, Lin Tingwan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When she was with him, her mind would always be filled with the tragic memories of her previous life.

Every single one of those things was like a nightmare to her, and she wished that nothing had ever happened.

……

"Yue Hong, the Crown Prince will be leaving for Shangjing tomorrow. You will protect him and bring your mother back to Shangjing."

Lin Yuehong frowned, "Didn't His Majesty forbid my mother to leave Shangjing?"

Lin Mingqian rolled his eyes at him and asked, "What's that thing on your neck?"

"Head."

"You won't secretly bring your mother over?"

Lin Yuehong disagreed, "What if His Majesty knew that our Lin family had second thoughts?"

“When we send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back tomorrow, we will also send your grandmother and Lin Tangning back. She and your second uncle’s family are in Shangjing. Although His Majesty may think a lot, he will not take action against the Lin family.” After saying that, Lin Mingqian sighed.

"But what if..."

Lin Mingqian looked at him with dismay, "After all these years, how come you have only grown in height but not in brains? How come you are not as smart as your sister?"

"Okay, okay, my sister is yours and mother's biological child. You picked me up from the moat."

"It's fine as long as you know it in your heart. You don't have to say it out loud."

Lin Yuehong: “…”

Okay, you are noble.

……

When Old Lady Lin knew that Lin Mingqian would ask her to return to Beijing the next day.

Even though the one who brought this news was her most beloved grandson, she still got angry, "Is your father crazy? How dare you chase me away!"
