Liang Changjin said gently: "Don't look at me like that, I can't help it."

His voice was calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant, but it made Chen Zhining's face blush.

Rong Heqing couldn't help but shudder again. She really didn't expect that Liang Changjin was like this in private.

Qin Yunxian also raised his eyebrows.

However, the next moment, the cold electronic voice of the system sounded in Rong Heqing's mind: [Host, the evil value of the mission target has increased by 10. The current total is 90. Warning! Warning! The evil value of the target person exceeds the limit. Please take measures as soon as possible! ]

Rong Heqing: “???”

No, brother, when you say "can't help it", you mean "can't help it"? !

She felt like she was dreaming and couldn't help but look at Liang Changjin again, but his profile was as cold as ever, his eyelids were drooped, and she couldn't see the emotions in his eyes. All the embarrassment and restlessness in her heart disappeared, and her back felt cold.

This person is terrible.

But in the current situation, she couldn't take any action. She could only watch the two of them hug each other and then separate, and then walk back one after the other.

"Everyone has left. You can come down now."

Qin Yunxian's calm voice brought Rong Heqing back to her senses. She retracted her gaze and looked down at the person under her. Seeing that his brows were furrowed and he seemed to be in some discomfort, she quickly let go of his hand and got off him, went out through the narrow gap first, then turned around and pulled Qin Yunxian's wheelchair out.

There were only two of them left. Rong Heqing looked at him and suddenly didn't know what to say. His eyes couldn't help but drift towards the lake. "You heard what those two said just now. How do you feel?"

Qin Yunxian frowned, "What do you mean?"

Rong Heqing whispered, "Do you feel something is strange? Do you think Liang Changjin really likes Chen Zhining?"

Qin Yunxian was silent for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know much about these two people, so I won't comment on them. Just looking at the scene just now, they do seem to be in love with each other."

Yes, if you don’t know those two people, anyone would think that they are in love with each other and are deeply in love.

The increase in her hate value was obvious, and the bright red 90 told her that Liang Changjin was very resistant to marrying Chen Zhining, and even hated it.

If you really like someone, why would you keep putting it off? Unless it's all an act.

Sweet words are false, and so are the feelings.

However, this did provide her with a new direction for investigation, and she was finally no longer groping in the dark.

"You and I are the best match."

Qin Yunxian suddenly spoke, and Rong Heqing looked back in confusion, "What?"

Her eyes reflected the light of the lake, and they were surprisingly bright in the night.

Qin Yunxian pursed his lips, couldn't help but take another look, and then said: "The question you asked me before."

It took Rong Heqing a while to react before he remembered what question he was talking about.

He had asked her to consider marrying him before, and she asked why. This was the answer Qin Yunxian gave her.

After the incident, talking about this matter was not so awkward. Rong Heqing turned to face him and asked seriously, "Where is suitable?"

Qin Yun placed his free hand on his thigh and whispered, "You are a princess and the legitimate daughter of the King of Annan. The families that are suitable for you are either princes or grandchildren of the emperor, or aristocratic families. If you match you with a civil official, the emperor will be afraid of collusion between the civil and military officials. If you match you with a military general, the emperor will be afraid of the expansion of the power of the King of Annan. It's not necessary to match you with a prince, but I--"

Rong Heqing's eyes fell on his legs and he understood.

"I am lame and have long lost the qualification to compete for the throne, so the emperor has used me more and more in recent years. If the Xuanwu Guards are hidden arrows, then I am the knife that the emperor has laid out in the open. Only by marrying me can you eliminate future troubles."

Qin Yunxian spoke in a normal tone, as if he was talking about someone else.

Rong Heqing frowned, "Don't say that."

She tapped her chin with her fingertips. "Similarly, the emperor is afraid of cutting himself if the knife is too sharp, so he needs a sheath to hold the knife. Although you have lost the right to inherit the throne, you are capable and the emperor values ​​you. The other princes will definitely want to win you over. If you marry the girls from their maternal families, it means you are on their side."

"In this case, he should be worried that you will join forces with other princes. And you married me. Although my cousin is a prince, the situation of the Annan Palace is delicate. In order to avoid suspicion, it is impossible to get too close to the prince. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a good handle for the emperor to openly attack the Annan Palace?"

Qin Yun nodded, "That's right."

Rong Heqing suddenly understood, "The closer we are, the more we need to avoid suspicion. If I really marry you, the Annan Palace and the Jin Prince will definitely become more and more distant in the future, and you and I can just supervise and check each other."

The most important thing is that she married into the emperor's family right under his nose, which was equivalent to another hostage. For the sake of his son and daughter, the King of Annan would certainly not act rashly.

She looked at Qin Yunxian deeply, and Qin Yunxian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

She shook her head. It was true that a big sieve spirit gave birth to a small sieve spirit. The family had more cunning minds than the whole pond of lotus roots.

Qin Yunxian looked at her deeply, without asking any more questions, and said, "The pros and cons are clear. You can take your time to think about the choice."

"Guanzhen——"

With a whoosh, Guan Zhen fell from a big tree on the side, "I'm here--"

"Walk."

"Yes." Guan Zhen stepped forward, bowed to Rong Heqing, and left pushing the wheelchair.

Rong Heqing: "Hey? Leaving now?"

What are you doing in such a hurry?

*

After leaving Rong Heqing's sight, Qin Yunxian suddenly said, "Wait."

"What are we waiting for?" Guan Zhen was puzzled. "Aren't we going back to Jinxiu Palace?"

Qin Yunxian didn't answer. He looked down, raised his hand to straighten his robe, and adjusted his sitting position uncomfortably.

Guan Zhen seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes widened in shock, "Master——"

Qin Yunxian immediately glanced at him coldly.

Guan Zhen subconsciously covered his mouth, his eyes still wide open. He really couldn't suppress his curiosity, and asked in a low voice: "Master, what did you and the princess do just now? Why are you still... still..."

"Shut up." Qin Yunxian's forehead veins were throbbing.

"did nothing."

"It was just an accident."

"Don't make a fuss."

Guan Zhen: “…”

I just say one thing to you, look at you.

Seeing that Qin Yunxian would get anxious if he continued talking, Guan Zhen shut up and stepped aside to wait.

After a while, Qin Yunxian returned to normal and said calmly, "Go back."

*

Rong Heqing had already returned to Jinxiu Palace. The banquet was as lively as usual and no one seemed to have noticed that she had left.

She sat down in her seat, breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously glanced to her side. She saw Chen Zhining staring at the carved radish on the plate and smiling. She didn't know what she was thinking of. She pursed her lips and a bit of shyness appeared on her face.

Rong Heqing: "..."

After knowing the truth, she could no longer look Chen Zhining in the eye.

She looked away and saw Qin Yunxian being pushed back.

Noticing her gaze, Qin Yun glanced at her, then picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip as if nothing had happened.

Rong Heqing curled his lips and looked away.

She picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food to fill her stomach when the candlelight in the hall suddenly dimmed.

This sudden change was puzzling and there was a lot of discussion at the table.

Then, the sound of drums and music stopped abruptly, and a clear and pleasant bell sound came from outside the hall.

Rong Heqing turned around and looked curiously.
