It wasn't her.

The joy slowly faded from Qin Shaoqing's face, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

But my heartbeat wasn't as steady as before.

Why does his heart race for other women? Why does he mistake one woman for another?

Qin Shaoqing rarely couldn't understand his own heart.

If you like someone, why can't you even recognize them...?

He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and the two remained silent as they gazed at each other.

Qin Shaoqing's first thought was that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he remembered who she was.

His expression became increasingly indescribable: "...Your Highness?"

Jiang Tian stared at him blankly, her eyes unblinking. After a long while, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and she seemed to be suddenly awakened.

The next second, Jiang Tian's eyes seemed to fill with rain.

After a long while, she wiped away her tears, her eyes slightly red, revealing an unspeakable complexity.

"Who are you?"

Those three short words made Qin Shaoqing suddenly understand.

He was no longer her fiancé; he was now the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, an official of the Zhao Kingdom, not the powerful subordinate of the Southern Emperor.

“Your Highness, since you have seen me, you should be able to guess that I am your deceased fiancé. At that time, I was serving the royal family of Zhao Kingdom. After I finished my work, I took the opportunity to get away.”

"Now that you have entered the palace, let's not dwell on the past."

There was an indescribable coldness in his tone.

Qin Shaoqing is usually carefree and irresponsible, but the fact that he is valued by others shows that he has his own abilities.

He hadn't forgotten that Xuan Yuan Ye had said she was his woman.

He was a subject, he was the emperor, and Qin Shaoqing had no feelings for his fiancée.

If it weren't for that emperor of the Southern Kingdom, who wanted to strengthen his ties with him, they wouldn't have had this absurd marriage.

The previous one is already dead, so the marriage is obviously invalid.

He didn't want these romantic entanglements to create obstacles in his life.

"...I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Jiang Tian gave him a slight curtsy, her voice still trembling slightly from crying.

Qin Shaoqing knew that she was not having a good time in Zhao Kingdom. As a princess of a southern kingdom, and a princess with a bad reputation and old age, her life must be like walking on thin ice.

But there's nothing he can do.

He was originally from the Zhao Kingdom, and the Southern Kingdom was an obstacle that he had to eliminate.

And what is a princess anyway?

Next, the royal family of the Southern Kingdom will become prisoners of the Zhao Kingdom.

He thought that God had arranged for him to meet his sweetheart here, but he never expected to meet his former fiancée.

Seeing her trying to hold back her tears, Qin Shaoqing felt a little annoyed.

Even he didn't know why he felt pity for a complete stranger.

His mind was racing, and he was about to leave when, unexpectedly, he looked up and saw Xuan Yuan Ye.

Xuanyuan Ye went to great lengths to find a snow-white fox for Jiang Tian, ​​venturing deep into the forest.

However, his efforts paid off. After finding the snow-white little fox, Xuanyuan Ye lost all interest in hunting other foxes.

He immediately spurred his horse back.

Upon returning to the palace, and learning that Jiang Tian had changed her clothes and gone out, Xuan Yuan Ye went out to find her without saying a word.

He knew perfectly well that this person could only rely on him, yet he still felt a sudden, inexplicable panic when he couldn't see her.

Xuanyuan Ye had just seen Jiang Tian and before he could react, he saw Qin Shaoqing.

He tensed up instantly.

They knew perfectly well that their past relationship wasn't a big deal.

With a gentle breeze blowing, the two of them gaze at each other under a clear blue sky and on a wide meadow, like a match made in heaven.

It's impossible for Xuanyuan Ye to have no thoughts at all.

He walked over with a cold face, and Qin Shaoqing was startled, instinctively bowing to him.

Xuanyuan Ye didn't even look at him, but instead put his arm around Jiang Tian, ​​gently touched her cheek, and stroked her forehead.

"Didn't the imperial physician say that you shouldn't stay outside for too long when you're recuperating? Why don't I worry about your health as much as you do about your own?"

Jiang Tian obediently let him pull her into his arms, and a smile appeared on her face: "Why did Your Majesty return so quickly?"

Xuanyuan Ye couldn't tell him it was because he missed her.

He was just looking into Jiang Tian's eyes.

She must have cried.

He touched the corner of her eye, but instead of answering her question, he said, "The wind is too cold, let's go back quickly."

"good."

Having decided to take her with him, Xuan Yuan Ye finally turned his attention to Qin Shao Qing.

A shadow of darkness flashed across his eyes.

He knew, of course, that Qin Shaoqing had no feelings for Jiang Tian.

In some ways, he is quite petty.

"Qin Shaoqing, you should go back now. I'm taking my woman back with me."

Qin Shaoqing heard the unfinished meaning in Xuanyuan Yehua's words.

He skillfully concealed the shock in his eyes: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Ye said something to him, then picked up Jiang Tian and left.

Anyway, this place is full of his people, and no one dares to say a word against him being with any woman.

Even after they left, Qin Shaoqing was still unable to calm the shock in his heart.

He had known Xuanyuan Ye for so many years, and he had never seen him care so much about a woman.

Qin Shaoqing never expected Xuan Yuan Ye to do something so childish, trying to assert his dominance in front of him.

Moreover... Jiang Tian didn't fall for Xuan Yuan Ye at all.

Xuanyuan Ye suffered bullying in his childhood and is very sensitive to people's thoughts.

He must have figured it out.

But he still doted on Jiang Tian like that...

Qin Shaoqing couldn't quite describe how he felt.

He said that all he could think about was the silent look Jiang Tian gave him as Xuan Yuan Ye carried her away.

Poignant and beautiful.

It makes people feel pity for it.

She must not be doing well. Qin Shaoqing couldn't help but take a deep breath, but what could he do?

They are simply people on different sides.

Since the Emperor is willing to show her some favor, she should accept it...

He was her nominal fiancé, and even his identity was fake. What could he possibly do to help her?

He would never compete with the emperor for a woman.

On the way, Xuanyuan Ye kept a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

Upon arriving at the palace, Xuanyuan Ye immediately dismissed all the palace servants. He went inside and first drank a cup of tea.

The room suddenly became strangely quiet.

Jiang Tian stood there, silent, yet still maintaining excellent composure.

Xuanyuan Ye was examining her face.

Unfortunately, her beautiful face showed no emotion whatsoever.

Xuanyuan Ye drank another cup and finally decided to speak.

His tone held a deep-seated anger: "Don't you have anything to say to me about what happened today?"
