The last sentence clearly indicated that he didn't want to continue entangled with them. All the princesses understood the meaning behind his words and watched in great fear as An Honghan got up and left.
In all these years, my elder brother has never spoken to them so sternly...
And today...
An Ruoyi merely made a vague compliment, saying, "Your Majesty and Miss Xi have such a good relationship," and received such a severe warning.
Even though the emperor didn't explicitly demand it, they knew that everything he did was for that little girl.
No sooner had An Honghan and Xi Xi left than An Yunyi's expression changed drastically. She reached out and smashed all the plates on the stone table.
The other princesses held their breath, not daring to breathe. An Yunyi was now the most favored among them, and everyone looked up to her. Offending her was no different from offending An Ruoyan back then.
Wu Jianfeng, who had originally left with An Honghan, turned back to look at the pavilion. His gaze was fixed on the figure of the Fourteenth Princess, and a glint of unfathomable light flashed in his eyes, as if he had come up with some kind of conspiracy.
Lynn happened to be not far from him and happened to catch a glimpse of the sinister look that flashed in Wu Jianfeng's eyes.
With many possibilities in mind, Lynn couldn't help but turn around and glance at the Fourteenth Princess.
It was obvious that Wu Jianfeng had his eye on the Fourteenth Princess.
It's quite possible, really. Wu Jianfeng has long since lost his support in the palace. If he doesn't find a powerful figure to protect him, he won't be able to survive any longer.
It's estimated that the Fourteenth Princess has become his chosen one, but...
Wu Jianfeng, Wu Jianfeng, can't you use your brain to think about what future you can have following a princess who's always vying for favor?
"It's not worth meddling in other people's business," Lynn sighed twice and quickly followed An Honghan's footsteps.
Xi Xizhi held An Honghan's hand with one hand and stroked her belly with the other, looking satisfied with what she had eaten and drunk.
"Remember, if you see those princesses again, leave as soon as possible and avoid having any contact with them."
An Honghan could never let go of Xi Xizhi, who was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.
Regardless of An Yunyi's past personality, she has changed now, becoming a terrifying girl.
Even though she is very young, she is more cunning than most people; otherwise, An Honghan wouldn't have taken a liking to her...
Because she had previously interacted with An Yunyi, Xi Xizhi recalled the weak and helpless little girl from before and compared her to her present self, and could only sigh at the changes that time brings to people.
Although the latter was more glamorous and dazzling, Xi Xizhi found her previous innocent and kind appearance more pleasing to the eye.
Because a person's eyes cannot hide too much; her eyes have already been tainted by impurities.
"I understand," Xi Xizhi replied weakly, with great regret.
He was just a child...
But it turned out like this.
The Imperial Guards are still secretly investigating Old Man Xu's whereabouts.
Dongfang Youyu would also visit the Imperial Study every few days, always to inquire about the progress of matters.
Xi Xizhi saw this and understood his anxiety.
After discussing the matter with Dongfang Youyu again in the afternoon, An Honghan took Xi Xizhi back to Panlong Palace to rest.
As the sun sets, the clouds on the horizon are dyed orange-red by the sunset, and a beautiful scene unfolds before your eyes.
Xi Xizhi followed An Honghan's footsteps, walking on the wide cobblestone path, her gaze fixed on the setting sun slowly sinking into the clouds, lost in thought.
In the past, deep in the mountains and forests, she often watched the sunset. But back then, she would sit alone on a large rock by the stream, quietly waiting for the sun to completely disappear before slowly walking back to her bamboo house.
At this moment, another person was standing beside her, and the time and place were also different from before.
Even my state of mind has changed.
Life is unpredictable...
Life is unpredictable...
"Don't look so sad." An Honghan had stopped walking, his cold gaze gone, replaced by deep worry, as if he was troubled by something, his heart entangled with an unsolvable trouble.
Xi Xizhi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes, glistening with tears, blinked. Was she sad? Was she really?
But why?
Could it be that staying in this other world for too long has made me homesick...missing my master?
"I didn't," Xi Xizhi stubbornly denied.
What else did that old man do all day besides forcing her to practice martial arts?
Xi Xizhi resolutely denied that she was thinking about her master and slowly lowered her head.
Having roughly guessed what was going on, An Honghan reached out and gently brushed the strands of hair from her forehead.
Every move she makes is extremely gentle.
If other eunuchs and palace maids were present, they certainly wouldn't have believed what they were seeing.
Even Lynn looked surprised...
"You have never told me where you came from..." He flicked her hair, and An Honghan's uniquely cold voice rang out again, "But now that you have come to the palace, you belong to me, and Panlong Palace is your home."
The first sentence, 'You have never told me where you came from...', made Lynn think deeply.
How could His Majesty keep a child of unknown origin by his side?
When has His Majesty ever made such a foolish decision?
If the origin is unknown, it means there are many unknowns. His Majesty has always been extremely cautious in his actions and will not let anything slip out of his control.
But the appearance of this little girl caused His Majesty to break all his principles.
Lynn looked at Xi Xizhi; her silver-white hair was definitely not Feng Zeguo's.
He used to think that the girl was the daughter of His Majesty and a foreign woman, but after hearing what he heard now, he completely rejected that idea.
So why did His Majesty adopt this girl?
Don't talk about kindness, because An Honghan has never had that.
Home……
Xi Xizhi raised her eyes and realized that, without realizing it, she had long regarded An Honghan as family.
Even if they really have to leave, they will probably be reluctant to do so.
Unfortunately, her master wasn't here, otherwise she...
No matter how many assumptions are made, they cannot be realized.
"I...I'll tell you later."
It wasn't the right time yet, and Xi Xizhi didn't dare to tell An Honghan where she came from.
“.
He neither used his abilities to investigate nor put pressure on her; all he did was 'wait'.
When the group returned to Panlong Palace, it was already completely dark. Rows of lanterns were lit, and palace maids and eunuchs stood in orderly rows on either side of the palace, awaiting An Honghan's instructions.
Lynn first had the palace maids prepare clothes for His Majesty to change into, and then had someone burn ambergris incense.
Wu Jianfeng kept his hand on his sword, waiting not far away, his mind elsewhere on the events of this afternoon.
Lynn walked over and poked him with his whisk, pulling him back to reality. "Guard Wu, I advise you not to have too many bad ideas, otherwise one day you'll get yourself killed."
