Wang Xin had not yet had time to discuss the ownership of the affiliated space with Haoger and Xiaogeer.

Feng Ling dropped a bombshell on her—he actually asked to marry her.

Wang Xin was stunned by his actions.

"No, why did you think of marrying me?" Wang Xin asked puzzledly.

She secretly decided in her heart that if he said that he married her because of the accidental collision that day, she should poison him or something to be done with it once and for all.

When Wang Xin read novels in the past, he was most annoyed by those plots about family feuds and conspiracies.

For example, a woman falls in love with a man, but the man doesn't like her. Then the woman plots all kinds of things, such as falling into the water or being a hero saving a beautiful woman, to repay the favor by offering herself to the man, and then the man has to marry her...

Whenever Wang Xin read this, he felt that it was revenge rather than repaying a favor.

Could it be that Feng Ling wanted to take responsibility for her because he saw his body when she gave him an acupuncture injection, or because they accidentally fell together?

Then he should look at his brain again.

Feng Ling smiled: "I like you."

At this moment, he shed his usual cold shell, like the ice and snow melting and spring returning to the earth.

"What?!"

Wang Xin thought he was hallucinating.

Feng Ling's ears flushed, and she repeated with a smile: "I like the young divine doctor Wang."

He didn't look like he was joking at all.

Wang Xin was shocked.

Is this still the cold-faced prince who can turn anyone into an ice sculpture if they get close to him? Could he be possessed by something?

Feng Ling looked at the girl in front of him with admiration at her uncertain expression.

Indeed, she is different.

If it were any other woman, she would be ecstatic at this moment.

After Feng Ling was knocked down by Wang Xin that day, he locked himself in the room for three whole days.

He originally thought that he hated women, except for his royal sister.

Now an unexpected thing happened.

He thought about the time he was with Wang Xin.

Then I realized belatedly that he liked being with her.

That’s why I was reluctant to leave after detoxification.

She was different from any woman he had ever met.

She is very real.

She is lazy and afraid of trouble, so she lets you know it clearly instead of hiding it like other women.

Other women are afraid of letting others know their imperfections and try their best to hide their shortcomings.

And she tells you directly.

It’s just very relaxing and comfortable.

I like the ease and comfort I feel when I'm with her.

Even if I like Xiaoge'er, I love her and her family as well.

After realizing this, whenever he saw Wang Xin again, he felt that she was good in every way.

Now, looking at Wang Xin in front of him wearing a smoky grey brocade dress, the color of the dress was obviously very plain, but he felt that she was so dazzling that the world was outshined.

Feng Ling shifted his gaze to the sky and forced himself to suppress his rapidly beating heart.

I can't look at it any longer, or my heart will jump out of my throat.

Wang Xin was very calm, and there was no ripple in his heart after hearing such sensational words.

"We are not a good match, we are not suitable for each other."

Feng Ling glanced at her: "Why do I feel that you are afraid of trouble, so..."

Wang Xin raised an eyebrow: "You are right to think so."

Feng Ling smiled confidently: "Then you can avoid trouble to the greatest extent by marrying me."

Feng Ling listed the benefits of marrying him to her: "If you marry me, besides the Queen Mother and the Imperial Sister, you will be the Princess Ding with the highest status in Xiliang. If others want to cause trouble for you, they will have to consider whether they have the qualifications."

Wang Xin thought, does this mean that she doesn’t have to kneel down to others?

Wang Xin looked up: "Where is your fiefdom?"

Feng Ling: "Shuozhou, just cross Changshou Mountain and it is there. Also, Liangcheng, Yucheng and Biancheng are all there."

Wang Xin was somewhat tempted, but when he remembered that he was either injured or poisoned, he hesitated again: "But he could lose his life at any time."

Feng Ling asked back: "Are you afraid?"

Wang Xin thought about it and realized that he was not afraid now.

Wang Xin was silent for a while: "Will you return to Beijing to settle down?"

Feng Ling shook his head: "No."

Wang Xin: "Then I'll think about it and give you an answer."

Feng Ling: "...Okay."

At night, Wang Xin lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, unable to sleep.

After lying there for an unknown amount of time, she quietly got up, stepped over the sleeping Xiao Ge'er, put on her coat, and left the space.

Come to the courtyard.

The moon is very bright tonight, hanging high in the night sky.

There was a figure sitting quietly on the swing chair in the courtyard.

Wang Xin walked over and asked, "Why are you sitting in the yard so late at night?"

Feng Ling said in a very soft voice: "I can't bear to sleep."

Wang Xin: “…”

She went over and sat down, looking at his face.

Feng Ling instantly lost his usual coldness, his eyes became gentle with a smile, as soft as jade.

Wang Xin looked at him and said, "To be honest, I didn't plan to get married."

Feng Ling looked back at her: "That's impossible. The laws of Xiliang stipulate that if a woman is not married by the age of 20 at the latest, she will be forced to marry by the government. Otherwise, she will be charged a considerable amount of unmarried tax every year."

Wang Xin has been here for two years, so he is of course clear about this.

Because of the wars in the early days of its founding, Xiliang lost a lot of population. It is no exaggeration to say that nine out of ten houses were empty.

The development of a country cannot be achieved without people.

The founding emperor, Fengxi, enacted this law in order to increase the population.

So basically, no woman in Xiliang would choose not to get married when she reaches a certain age.

If you don't get married, people will ridicule you for not being able to get married.

When I go out, I feel like I am inferior to others.

Wang Xin didn’t think this was a problem before. It was just a marriage tax, and she could afford it.

As for ridicule, the mouth is on other people's bodies, they can say whatever they want. Anyway, she is not interested in seeing anyone except patients.

It's impossible for the patient to ask her to treat the disease while she is making up stories about her, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Xin sneered, "It's just paying taxes."

Feng Ling choked. Yes, with Wang Xin's current fame, the problems other women faced were no problem for her at all.

Who dares to look down on a little miracle doctor with outstanding medical skills?

Feng Ling lowered his eyes: "I suddenly want to tell you about my past. Do you want to listen?"

Wang Xin made a gesture of invitation: "Just say whatever you want to say."

Feng Ling looked up at the moon and lost himself in memories.

After a long pause, he whispered, "My royal father passed away when I was three years old. That year, my royal sister was fifteen years old."

Wang Xin listened quietly without interrupting him.

Feng Ling closed his eyes and continued, "In my memory, my father has always stayed in the Phoenix Palace and never came out."

"He hardly smiled, but he personally taught me and my sister."

"Every time the Queen Mother comes to visit us, the Royal Father avoids seeing her."

"But my sister said that my mother and father were very loving. Even though my sister was their only child over the past ten years, my mother still withstood the pressure and refused to recruit more concubines. She even named my sister the Crown Princess."

"The incident happened when I was six months old. One day, my mother came back from court and brought back a guard, who is now Lin Guijun."

"That day, my father went to the Phoenix Palace to look for my mother and found them both in bed..."

Once Feng Ling started speaking, he spoke slowly, one sentence at a time.

"The Queen Mother chased him out and said that he had sex with someone who was drunk. He swore that this was the only time and he would never do it again."

"But one month later, she was found to be pregnant, so she appointed the guard as the imperial attendant."

"The emperor father was greatly shocked. From then on, he named himself the Phoenix Palace and became depressed."

"My sister said that my father could not accept our mother's betrayal and had already decided to die. However, because of our relationship with my grandfather, he held on and never met with our mother again."

"Even when he was sick, he didn't call the imperial physician. It wasn't until I was three years old, before he passed away, that he took the initiative to meet the empress dowager. In front of my sister and me, he only made one request, which was to let my sister and I choose our own marriage and no one else could interfere."

"Since then, my sister and I have been dependent on each other."

As he spoke, Wang Xin's mood gradually became heavier.

Emotions are inherently changeable, especially in an imperial family.

But she is not involved in the incident and cannot make any judgment.

Feng Ling paused for a moment, then continued, "When I was twelve years old, my sister was sent out of the capital by our mother. I was the only one left in the Phoenix Palace."

Feng Ling narrowed his eyes, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "One night, I was sleeping soundly, and they bribed a servant to knock me out and tie me up and take me out of the palace."

Wang Xin's heart tightened. At the age of twelve, if it were now, he wouldn't even have graduated from elementary school and would still be a child.

Feng Ling frowned and clenched his fists, making crackling sounds.

Wang Xin raised his hand and patted his arm gently: "If you think about these things, you will be in pain. It's better not to think about them."

Feng Ling was startled, then slowly relaxed, "No, I want to tell you."

Wang Xin sighed inwardly, "Go ahead."

Feng Ling gritted his teeth and said, "I woke up from a coma in a dilapidated temple. They thought I was still asleep, and I overheard them saying they wanted to destroy me, but they couldn't take my life."

Wang Xinqi asked, "What does it mean to be ruined? Disfigured?"

Feng Ling sneered: "How is that possible? For me, disfigurement doesn't affect anything. I'm not inheriting the throne. Even if I'm disfigured, I can still lead troops to fight and help my sister."

Wang Xin: "Broken hands? Broken legs? Crippled?"

Feng Ling's eyes gradually turned red: "How can breaking hands and feet be enough? Beating, crippling, huh... a person with an evil heart, was ordered to kidnap a good-looking little boy, what do you think he would do?"

Wang Xin was stunned for a long time and asked dully: "You were..."

Feng Ling's mouth twitched, "No, they didn't expect that I would wake up so soon and escape."

Wang Xin: “Oh…”

Feng Ling smiled bitterly: "They didn't dare to chase them until they met Duke Anguo returning to the city halfway."

"After returning to the city, Duke Anguo took me to his mansion and prepared to send me back to the palace after daybreak."

"But Cui Yaoxue took the opportunity to order someone to light aphrodisiac in the room where I was resting, and sneaked into my room in the middle of the night."

"We were both young at the time, so of course we couldn't do anything. She just wanted to create the illusion that we had had physical contact so that she could rely on me."

"Since my father passed away, my sister has been secretly arranging for someone to teach me martial arts. Ordinary incense has no effect on me. After I knocked her out, I escaped from the Duke of Anguo's mansion. Later, I met the guards who came to look for me and returned to the palace."

"But Duke Anguo went to the palace the next day and asked my mother to grant me a marriage with Cui Yaoxue."
