Liu Yueru followed Xie Jingrui inside.

There are flowers emitting purple light on both sides of the road, and a faint fragrance wafts through the path.

Butterflies were flying and the sound of birds singing could be clearly heard from the end of the path.

The scent of the earth, mountains, rivers and grass lingered in her nose, and the gloom that Liu Yueru had just felt was instantly washed away by most of it.

Xie Jingrui led her to run fast and make progress.

Rushed out of the trail.

All kinds of rare and exotic birds are flying in the sky before my eyes.

There is a waterfall in front of us, with clear blue water and fish jumping in the water from time to time.

Xie Jingrui put his index finger to his lips, made a whistle and blew it towards a place not far away.

Soon, a series of rustling sounds came from the woods not far away.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rapid shuttle, and a white shadow suddenly flashed in front of Liu Yueru's eyes.

The furry touch swept over me instantly.

A large ball of soft and fluffy thing fell into Liu Yueru's arms.

Before Liu Yueru could see clearly what was in her arms.

Xie Jingrui took the lead with a dark face and pulled Baihu out of Liu Yueru's arms.

The little white tiger pretended to be displeased and opened its mouth to bite Xie Jingrui's other sleeve, pretending to bite him.

Liu Yueru's eyes lit up, and she saw clearly that the little guy who had just rushed into her arms was a little tiger cub.

She took a step forward and took the little tiger cub from Xie Jingrui's arms with a smile.

The feeling of holding the little guy in her arms was heavy. Liu Yueru smiled and combed the little guy's hair while asking, "The little guy has grown up and become much more domineering."

At first it looked like a little puppy, but after not seeing it for a while, the little guy grew up very fast and is now bigger than a half-year-old child.

Liu Yueru rubbed its head curiously.

It's slightly cool in the mountains.

Holding it in my arms, I just feel warm and comfortable.

The little tiger cub also rubbed happily on Liu Yueru's palm.

One man and one animal, completely forgetting about Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui coughed lightly and said in a fake voice, "It's getting late in the morning. Come back another day. I have other things to do in the mansion."

Liu Yueru retracted her gaze and looked at Xie Jingrui; "Didn't you have nothing to do today? Why are you suddenly busy again?"

She asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Xie Jingrui's gaze vaguely looked towards the little tiger cub in her arms.

Liu Yueru suddenly realized.

Put the little guy down from his arms.

She took a step forward, took Xie Jingrui's hand and stared at him with a smile.

Xie Jingrui was stunned for a moment, but soon the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

Then he changed the subject; "That matter is not so important."

The two walked hand in hand through the woods.

The little tiger cub walked in front of the two people, constantly catching butterflies with his little paws.

One ear was slightly erected, listening to the movements of the two people behind him, and his little head looked towards Liu Yueru and the others from time to time.

Seeing that they were still following closely, he continued to play with peace of mind.

Liu Yueru was amazed at this place and asked curiously, "Did you have this place built specially?"

Xie Jingrui shook his head. This was a place he discovered when he was out to relax and riding a horse.

The environment is very good, but it is relatively remote and few people know about this place.

So I had someone build a gable at the entrance.

The little tiger cub will have to return to the mountains eventually, so it is better to let it learn to adapt as soon as possible.

When it grows up a little, you need to start developing its self-survival ability.

Liu Yueru looked at the carefree little tiger cub and nodded slightly.

I just thought that in the future it might be hunted and killed like its mother.

Liu Yueru felt a little bit reluctant.

Xie Jingrui saw through her thoughts and held her hand tightly. "When children grow up, they must learn to let go. If you don't let them try, how can you know if they can do it?"

Listening to Xie Jingrui's meaningful words, Liu Yueru met his gaze.

He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you hiding something from me?"

"Do you know why our father wants us to get married as soon as possible?" Xie Jingrui stopped.

"You told the emperor where Yan'er and Hua'er are from." Liu Yueru said bluntly.

Xie Jingrui's pupils narrowed slightly; "How do you know?"

"The last time I entered the palace, the way the Emperor looked at Yan Ge'er was different from before. In the past, no matter how much he liked him, there would always be a hint of alienation between his eyebrows."

"Ever since the marriage was granted and Yan Ge'er was brought into the palace, the emperor has always looked at Yan Ge'er with sadness, guilt and heartache."

"Only flesh and blood can reveal such an expression, which is why the emperor is so anxious."

Xie Jingrui was slightly stunned when he heard what Liu Yueru said.

Soon, a hint of appreciation flashed across his face; "You are right, I did tell Father everything about our relationship, but you are wrong about one thing."

Liu Yueru tilted her head, puzzled; "Take some?"

"Father's eyes are much sharper than ours. He and mother began to notice the similarities between Yan'er and Hua'er a long time ago."

"Earlier, my mother had intentionally or unintentionally asked me about the matter between you and me, but I was always vague, so I barely got away with it."

Xie Jingrui led Liu Yueru to continue walking inside, and then said, "We have paid more attention to them. Father likes Brother Yan very much."

"Yue'er, there is something I want to ask you." Xie Jingrui's face suddenly became serious.

"Well? Just tell me." Liu Yueru said seriously.

Xie Jingrui pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "There is no one in Kyoto who can hold up the sky now. If the king intends to raise Brother Yan to the highest position, what do you think?"

Liu Yueru's face changed drastically when she heard this. "This is treason, a crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of the clan. Are you crazy, Xie Jingrui? The emperor has his own say on matters concerning the throne. How can you and I influence that?"

Xie Jingrui placed his hands on Liu Yueru's shoulders and spoke seriously, "Yue'er, don't get excited. Listen to me."

"You say." Liu Yueru's face still didn't look very good.

"I have never thought of rebelling or usurping the throne. This matter was discussed between my father and me." Xie Jingrui explained patiently.

The displeasure on Liu Yueru's face faded slightly, but when she looked at Xie Jingrui, there was a hint of inquiry in her expression.

"Although Brother Yan's body has recovered to a large extent, his foundation is still a little worse than other children. At such a young age, how can he intimidate those cunning and treacherous officials?"

Xie Jingrui smiled. "Father has already considered all of this. As long as Brother Yan agrees, Father and we will handle the rest together."

"Yue'er, do you think Brother Yan is feasible?"

Only then did Liu Yueru calm down and began to listen to Xie Jingrui's words seriously.

After pondering for a long time, she slowly said what she was thinking; "It's not impossible. Brother Yan is more calm and steady, and he sees things in detail. He also has his own unique insights in terms of strategy. If he is a few years older, he is not much worse than those officials."

"only......."
