Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

"Why did Yanzhi Jian choose Prince Zhuang?" Xu Chen asked. If Yanzhi Jian was unwilling to marry Prince Zhuang, the emperor would have no way to force her to agree.

This is what it means when a bystander sees more clearly.

As expected, he is Guo Xiao's military advisor.

Xie Jinzhao smiled and said, "I like him, is this a reason?"

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect such an answer.

But Yanzhijian couldn't lie to him about this, so he couldn't help but smile, "May all lovers in the world finally get married!"

There was a lot of envy in his words.

Xie Jinzhao retracted his legs and got back to the point, "So, General Guo is planning to give up his dark ways and join the light side?"

Xu Chen hesitated a little. "If Yanzhijian had given the reason that Prince Zhuang had a bright future when I asked him just now, maybe it would have been much easier for me to convince General Guo!"

Yanzhi Jian smiled and said, "That's a pity. I have no ambitions and I only act on my feelings. Once I make up my mind about someone, I won't change my mind easily. Now that General Xu and General Guo have discussed it, it won't be too late for you to come to me later."

Xu Chen said, "No, we can talk about it now. If General Guo is willing to surrender to King Zhuang, can the Southern Shu battlefield give him a chance?"

Yanzhi Jian narrowed her eyes. "The royal family of Nanshu doesn't have a treasure map. Nanshu already has me, so it doesn't need anyone else. Besides, at this time, although General Xu can make a decision quickly, General Guo may not. The crown prince is ill, the grandson is an adult, and the second son's future is uncertain. General Guo can take more time to consider."

Yanzhi Jian always said that she acted on her feelings, but in fact she was calmer than anyone else. She didn't believe that Guo Xiao wanted to surrender just because of his words.

As soon as Xu Chen left, Ling Qingchen came.

Xie Jinzhao was packing her bags. Luoxia and Qiushui would not follow her as they had to go back to Changliu Pavilion and Hongran could not handle it alone.

She only packed two sets of men's clothes.

"Take this with you!"

Ling Qingchen handed her a set of soft gold armor, which was originally what he wore, but he asked the craftsman to make it smaller.

Xie Jinzhao looked up at him and smiled, "Prince, you and I are just in a contractual marriage. Is it worth it for you to spend so much money?"

King Zhuang was a little discouraged. He sat down in front of the window and poured himself a cup of tea. "As long as you are my princess, I have the responsibility to protect you."

He looked at Xie Jinzhao packing his luggage in front of the bed. From behind, he could see her slender waist, as flexible as a willow branch. A heat surged up from under his body, and his whole body felt like it was being roasted on a fire.

I was burning with desire. It was the first time in twenty years that I felt such a deep sensation.

He wanted her, wanted her madly, even just a taste of her would be enough.

King Zhuang felt a dry mouth.

He walked over.

Xie Jinzhao stood up and turned her head, which hit his chin. Immediately, King Zhuang covered his chin, his peach blossom eyes sparkling as he looked at her pitifully.

Xie Jinzhao was a little amused and grabbed his wrist, "Let me see, why are you suddenly approaching me?"

He loosened his hand, and Xie Jinzhao moved closer to take a look. The hot air he exhaled sprayed on his skin, and the originally cold and white skin was suddenly covered with a layer of rouge color. Xie Jinzhao's face was so close that he could see himself in her eyes when he lowered his eyes.

He almost couldn't help himself, his body didn't obey his brain, he moved closer to Xie Jinzhao.

Xie Jinzhao leaned back instinctively. He put one arm around her waist and the other hand on the back of her head. She moved back and he moved forward. Xie Jinzhao's back was pressed against the bed frame. An unprecedented tension swept over her. Looking at his innocent and rosy lips, Xie Jinzhao swallowed hard.

His lips moved forward, and in a flash, Xie Jinzhao covered his lips, with a palm between their lips.

"I..." Xie Jinzhao pushed him away, Ling Qingchen took two steps back, and the two of them distanced themselves.

"You..." Ling Qingchen cleared his throat, "I'm sorry!"

"No!" Xie Jinzhao pursed her lips. She wanted to ask, are you Ling Qingchen or Ling Jinglan? "Sorry, I have someone I like."

Ling Qingchen really lost to himself. He frowned and said unhappily, "I know!"

Xie Jinzhao held back his laughter and thought, you know nothing.

He held her shoulders and turned her over, "Can't you give me a chance? How am I inferior to him?"

There was unspeakable frustration in his tone.

Xie Jinzhao didn't dare to look up, for fear that if he did, she would see the smile in his eyes and he would be exposed.

"You're very good!" Xie Jinzhao took a deep breath and calmed down. "It's just that, Prince, everything has a first come first served. When Jinglan and I met, I didn't know who the prince was. In this world, except for Master and Senior Brother, no one will treat me better than him!"

"What about your senior brother? Do you like your senior brother more than him?" Ling Qingchen was extremely angry.

When he was intimate with her as Ling Jinglan, there was a lack of status; when he was intimate with her as Ling Qingchen, there was a lack of emotion.

If he allowed the two identities to merge into one, then they would not have both status and feelings, but would simply have no contact with each other until death.

He didn't dare take any chances of losing her.

This is an unsolvable question.

"That's different!" Xie Jinzhao shook his head, "He means something different to me than my senior brother does to me."

"Jin Zhao, if one day you find out that he has cheated on you, will you still like him and forgive him?" Ling Qingchen looked at her soft and rosy lips, his eyes filled with emotions like rolling dark clouds.

Xie Jinzhao had a hard time holding back her laughter. "That depends on what the matter is, but how can I blame him now? I am the Princess of Zhuang in name only, and we are just friends. Even if he falls in love with another woman and wants to marry her, I can't blame him, right?"

"He won't fall in love with another woman." Ling Qingchen raised her hand and gently pinched Xie Jinzhao's earlobe, "He will only have you in his heart!"

Xie Jinzhao uttered an "Ah" and took a step back. "Prince, why do you say that? Do you know him very well?"

Ling Qingchen came to his senses and cleared his throat, "You haven't answered me yet, what would happen if he lied to you?"

"What is the matter, my lord?"

"For example, identity? What if he has other identities?" He walked to the window, facing outside, not daring to face Xie Jinzhao. He was afraid, more afraid than ever before.

Xie Jinzhao couldn't bear to tease him anymore and stepped forward. "If he just concealed my identity, it wouldn't be a big deal. At the beginning, I interacted with him as Rouge Sword and also concealed my identity. However, if he did something under other identities and kept it from me, I will definitely investigate."

"Then how will you investigate?" Ling Qingchen was almost impatient, "Will you forgive him?"

Xie Jinzhao turned around, crossed his arms, and raised his chin. "That depends on whether his apology is sincere or not!"

Ling Qingchen was overjoyed. He put his arms around Xie Jinzhao, held her in his arms, pinched her chin and kissed her, "What if I apologize like this? Is it sincere?"

He held her lower lip, his eyes filled with passion.
