It is not suitable for him and Princess Daqi to be hypocritical.

It's simpler to be straightforward and get to the point.

After making up his mind, Luo Yan looked at the map of Western Xinjiang hanging in the middle of the tent and said calmly, "The Xilin Village in Yancheng where Luo's family moved is a wasteland with wild mountains. It's easy to enter but difficult to leave."

"I know your Highness's intention, please rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Abao, who was making tea, paused slightly.

Looking up, she and Luo Yan looked at each other in silence.

It turned out that Luo Yan also knew that Xilin Village in Yancheng would be the place where the entire Luo family would grow old and die.

After a long time, the boiling hot tea splashed, breaking the silent understanding between them. A Bao picked up the clay pot to pour tea, while Luo Yan continued to ask questions in confusion.

"The Mo tribe has surrendered, and there will be no more war." Just this one thing really confused Luo Yan: "Why did the princess create the illusion that Qingtian Pass was in the midst of war and the sound of fighting was deafening?"

Hearing this question suddenly, A Bao looked behind the screen with a heavy heart.

There was dead silence, but she knew he was listening.

With his mind racing, A Bao looked at Luo Yan sternly, "Do you really want to know?"

At this moment, Luo Yan seemed to have returned to the time when he first met the little slave girl Awen in Futu Mountain. He laughed at himself and said, "I have surrendered. Now I am just out of pure curiosity."

Hearing this, A Bao lowered his eyes and laughed.

"In that case, how about exchanging one of your answers?"

"Princess, just ask."

Luo Yan did not hesitate, but saw Princess Abao, who was sitting opposite the tea table, with a serious expression.

"...How well do you know Bai Zhe?"

Hearing Baizhe suddenly, Luo Yan was slow to remember - Princess Abao was Baizhe's wife, and Awen from the winter hunt in Futu Mountain had acted under the name of Gala's secret guard.

He guessed that the entanglement between the two of them might be deeper than he thought.

Luo Yan was nervous: "What does the princess really want to ask?"

"I want to hear everything you know about Bai Zhe." Secretly observing Luo Yan's expression, A Bao thought: "If you don't want to answer, you can regret it."

Luo Yan picked up the hot tea at hand, drank it hesitantly for a long time, and then said: "In fact, most of the things involving Bai Zhe that I know are related to Luo Qian."

"When we were young, Luo Qian and I knew Bai Zhe. He is the eldest son of King Jialuo. He is very mysterious and extremely cold, like an ice sculpture that makes people shiver."

"But Luo Qian happens to like Bai Zhe very much."

"At first I just thought that Luo Qian kept visiting Jia Luo because she liked to play with Bai Cha. Later, the old priest promised Luo Qian to Master Pei in order to get close to Mount Futu, and Luo Qian ran away. Only then did I know that Luo Qian loved Bai Zhe."

The words were already out, but Luo Yan thought of it a little later.

Princess Abao, who was sitting opposite him, was also the wife of Mr. Pei.

Luo Yan tried to explain: "Fortunately, that marriage was rejected by Master Pei."

But Princess Po didn't seem to care.

Even, compared to the marriage between Master Pei and Luo Qian...

Princess Abao was more curious about him and Baicha.

"Luo Qian likes Bai Zhe, and you like Bai Cha?"

Hearing this, Luo Yan suddenly realized that Princess Abao looked very reluctant.

"It's really funny. We two siblings are fighting against the prince and princess of Jialuo." He said self-deprecatingly: "But, just like Baizhe has no feelings for Luo Qian, Baicha doesn't like me either."

Hearing this, Abao recalled Bai Cha’s last memory in the mirror stand.

Just at this moment, Luo Yan sadly mentioned an old event.

After taking over the ceremony, he got the good news and ran towards Baicha excitedly.

"Our marriage has finally been approved by King Jialuo and my brother. The 21st of the New Year will be a very auspicious wedding day for both of us." He kept muttering this until he reached the door of the warm room, but he heard Bai Cha asking while crying.

"You don't like me, is it because of Princess Daqi?"

It was like a bolt of lightning, and Luo Yan was stunned on the spot.

Baicha in the warm room couldn't get a response and cried even more aggrievedly.

"We are connected by blood and have depended on each other since childhood." She questioned, "How can it be compared to the short half month you spent with her? Not even half a month!"

At this time, the man finally spoke, his voice was cold and indifferent.

"You and I are connected by blood as brother and sister."

Hearing this familiar tone, Luo Yan's face turned pale.

The man's figure reflected in the window screen was extremely cold and distant, yet so familiar.

It turns out... it was Bai Zhe.

It turned out to be... Bai Zhe...

Bai Cha actually likes Bai Zhe, what about him?

What has he been all these years? A joke?

The sudden feeling of unwillingness and hatred made Luo Yan stay in the dark window and eavesdrop.

"Xiao Cha, stop here." Bai Zhe was so cold and indifferent that it made people despair: "Don't make me think that you are as disgusting as my father, the king, and my mother."

"Disgusting?! You're disgusting is all I like?!" Bai Cha cried loudly, "I hate you! I hate Princess Daqi! Brother, you will regret this!!"

The door of the attic slammed open!

Luo Yan, who was frightened and hurriedly hid in a darker place, hesitated and stayed where he was, watching Bai Cha crying and running away. The young guard in the house, Shi Tou, was shocked and puzzled: "Young Master, do you really like that - Princess Da Qi?"

"Your Highness Abao? She is naive and willful, which always makes people want to get angry." Bai Zhe was silent for a long time, and asked in a deep voice: "Why should I like her?"

After a pause, Bai Zhe said something with certainty.

"That was just an excuse to put an end to Xiaocha's wild thoughts."

After receiving such an answer, the young guard was suddenly relieved, but also puzzled: "But young master, why did you choose Princess Daqi instead of Miss Luo Qian when you made an excuse? Miss Luo Qian has liked you for so long, maybe the young master will believe it more after hearing it."

The outline of Lady Jialuo through the window screen is as cold as broken white porcelain.

"She's the best fit."

After a pause, Bai Zhe said, "Xiaocha will not be able to calm down for the time being, and will eventually take action against the so-called culprit. But if that person is that strange Princess Abao..."

"It will be extremely difficult for Xiaocha to succeed."
