The first princess of Beidi was truly pampered by everyone.

He Yin was assigned to the princess when he was twelve years old.

The princess was only nine years old, innocent and naive, and treated him as a friend.

He Yin initially thought that all princesses of the royal family were spoiled, but this princess was carefree and unrestrained, like an unruly pony on the vast grassland.

He couldn't take his eyes off the princess's dazzling beauty.

He liked the princess more and more, and subconsciously thought how nice it would be if he could stay with the princess for the rest of his life.

But after the prince was born, the princess focused all her attention on him.

No one ever raced horses with him again or galloped across the grasslands.

But it doesn't matter, he can wait.

But he didn't expect that he would have to wait for his whole life.

When the princess was seventeen years old, she was accidentally lost in the territory of Yu Dynasty.

Hearing that Yuchao had many rare toys, the princess wanted to find some for the prince. Everything went smoothly, but a child accidentally pulled off the princess' hood.

The princess's orchid eyes made the people of Yuchao mistakenly think she was a spy from the enemy on the border.

They were being chased and had no way to retreat, so the princess led the pursuers away alone and asked him to take the things back and look for reinforcements.

Their people were waiting at the border between the two countries.

He Yin still can't forget why he failed to save the princess even though he tried so hard to run, causing her to be lost in Yu Dynasty for decades!

This was his late night nightmare.

So he focused all his attention on the princess and on the young prince.

The prince was young and only remembered that his elder sister was lost in Yu Dynasty. He could not remember the princess's appearance, but He Yin remembered!

The princess when she was young was as beautiful as Song Jin.

*

He Yin looked at the face that looked like a princess, and was lost in memories of the past.

Song Jin noticed his abnormality.

Even if I noticed it, I didn't care.

Xu Guanlin invited Li Muyi to go to another place, and everyone who was accompanying him had to go with him.

Tai Mianmian wanted to take her with him, but she refused.

She didn't want to get involved in this kind of flattery.

Song Jin refused again and again.

Tai Mianmian had no choice but to give up.

Someone is calling her over there.

She responded loudly, said a few words reluctantly, and trotted after Yu Dingnan.

Song Jin smiled and shook his head, then went back with Qing Wu.

Only halfway through the journey, I felt someone following me.

Perhaps because she has experienced so much, her perception has become much sharper.

Song Jin winked at Qing Wu, who understood and pretended to go to the front to buy something.

He Yin was preoccupied with something and had no intention of hiding from them.

He let them block him in the alley.

This scene seems familiar.

Qing Wu blinked, remembering that they had also blocked the Ninth Prince in an alley a few months ago.

"This... Lord He, why are you following me?"

Song Jin frowned slightly and stared at the tall man in front of him.

She had some impression of this person, it seemed like he was a peddler in Suizhou?

His face was dark at that time, not as white as it is now.

"The Lord of Junning County, we should have met him before."

“Yes, I remember.”

He Yin seemed quite happy that she remembered him, and the joy between his brows was visible to the naked eye.

A grown man was actually a little at a loss at this moment.

"Yes, it's like this..." He Yin took a deep breath and calmed his excited heart, "County Lord, I wonder if you can tell me your mother's name?"

"Lord He, this is my privacy."

"I know!" Afraid that she might misunderstand him, he explained anxiously, "The county lord should have met the prince, right? We came to Yu Dynasty to find the princess. I didn't look carefully in Suizhou and didn't realize that the county lord looked exactly like our princess!"

!

Song Jin was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

She had just sent a message back to Qingzhou to ask her father about this matter when the people of Beidi brought her the answer.

There is still a trace of doubt in my heart.

"I grew up in Qingzhou, so Lord He must know this. No one has ever said anything about my appearance in the past ten years, and my mother's eye color in her portrait is not orchid."

He Yin was hesitant and even wavered in his thoughts.

Eye color cannot be faked.

How can something that is born change?

But... wasn't Song Jin's eye color an acquired discovery?

"Perhaps...perhaps the princess used some method to cover it up. Didn't the county lord's eye color only appear after he was poisoned?"

He and Li Muyi both determined that Youlan was a Northern Di person because of the color of her eyes.

Although Song Jin had some guesses, she would rather deceive herself than get her father's personal confirmation.

"County Lord..."

He Yin saw through her thoughts, tried hard to curb his excitement, and approached her carefully and nervously.

That similar face brought back many fond memories.

He failed to save the princess. He didn't want her to suffer any injustice in a foreign land.

"County Lord, take the princess with you and let's go back to Beidi together. The king and queen miss you very much."

Song Jin shook his head violently and took a few steps back.

"Lord He may have recognized the wrong person. My mother has passed away long ago. She is definitely not the Princess of Beidi as you said! I heard nothing and saw nothing today. I will take my leave now——"

"Wait!" He Yin stopped her suddenly, his eyes flushed and his voice trembled, "You said...what did you say, the princess, the princess...is dead?"

How could this happen?

How could the princess he admired... die?

impossible!!!

He Yin did not accept this result.

"The princess said she would wait for me to save her... You are lying to me, right?!"

He collapsed too suddenly.

Qing Wu was startled by him and hurriedly protected Song Jin.

"Lord He, my wife is not the princess you mentioned at all. Please don't bother us anymore. You are looking for that princess..."

"No! You are definitely the princess's child!"

He Yin is very sure of this.

Others may not remember what the princess looks like, but he remembers it all the time!

The prince was young at the time and had a vague impression of the princess. As time passed, it had long since become fragmented. How could he think that Song Jin looked similar to the princess?

Song Jin saw his dazed look and knew that he couldn't leave without trying to persuade himself.

"Lord He, the world is so big, there are so many people who look alike. You also said that my eye color is caused by poisoning. Maybe it will be restored after the poison is cured? The princess you are looking for may still be waiting for you in some corner."

“…”

One coincidence may explain it, but too many coincidences are no longer coincidences.

He Yin knew that she would not be able to accept that she was a Northern Di person for a while.

It didn't matter, he would make her accept it.

He would definitely bring the princess and her child back to Beidi.

"It was He who was rude today."

He Yin resumed his humble demeanor, with his eyebrows slightly lowered, looking extremely respectful.

"The county lord is busy, so I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

This man is neurotic.

Qing Wu said worriedly, "Madam, let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion. It won't be too late to go to Zhaiyue Tower tomorrow."

"good."

Song Jin glanced sideways.

The man's back looked lonely and desolate, completely lacking the vigor he had when he first entered Sheng'an.

His emotions are so real.

Song Jin was confused.

Is she really... not from Yuchao?

The eye color is clearly due to poisoning, why has it become like this?

*

The night is rolling, dotted with stars.

The shadows of the trees were mottled, and the green leaves were swirling in the air, then being dragged by the wind to another place.

Song Jin suddenly wanted to meet Cui Huaiji.

At this time in the past, Cui Huaiji would read in the study, light a lamp, and wait for her to come back from Zhaiyue Tower.

Why is there no one in the house?

Confused, she skillfully opened the study door.

"Fuji, I have something to tell you——"

The voice stopped abruptly.

In the study, three pairs of eyes fell on her at once.

Either teasing or shocked.

Song Jin didn't expect that there would be a guest in the study tonight, and a distinguished guest at that. Why didn't Butler Zhao come out to greet her?

When there are guests in the study, Butler Zhao or Shi An will wait in the side room.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion now tacitly acknowledges that she is the mistress of the mansion, so naturally no one will stop her from entering the study.

"Yes, there are guests. So I..."

I stuttered.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Guanlin's eyes were filled with teasing, and he looked at Cui Huaiji, who was sitting upright, and understood everything at once.

"Since it is the Marquis's intention, the county lord may come in."

What does it mean?

The shock on Li Muyi's face had not yet faded, and when he heard him say this, he was suddenly confused.

Is the relationship between the Lord of Junning County and the Marquis of Quling already so deep?

Song Jin blinked and looked at Cui Huaiji: "This...isn't good?"

Cui Huaiji said calmly: "There's nothing wrong with it. It was Meimei who discovered it in the first place, so you should be involved as well."

She found it?

Look at the people in the study, could it be related to the welcoming banquet?

Then she really wants to listen.

Song Jin calmly closed the door, sat next to Li Muyi, and stared at the three people with great interest.

His eyes seemed to be saying, keep talking!

Xu Guanlin calmly chatted, "What were you talking about... Oh, yes, Your Highness, do you mean that you have never cooperated with my fifth brother?"

Li Muyi looked over and said, "When did I ever say that I had cooperated with anyone? The Crown Prince and the Marquis talked to me for a long time, but I didn't even cooperate with anyone myself?"

[This plot is wrong! ]

In his previous life, Li Muyi cooperated with Xu Luo, but He Yin temporarily turned against them and cooperated with Xu Nanheng. He did not tell him until the eve of the welcoming banquet, and successfully persuaded him to turn against them on the spot.

Cui Huaiji looked at her calmly and said calmly, "Is that so? Then what is the meaning of His Royal Highness's people meeting with the Fifth Prince in private?"

“…”

Li Muyi tried to get away with it by saying, "What does what He Yin saw have to do with me?"

[It's really unbearable to watch. Your Highness, are you so naive? ]

Why did she remember that Li Muyi was clearly not like this when he was in Suizhou?

To hide something?

Xu Guanlin and Cui Huaiji were equally speechless.

Xu Guanlin said in a deep voice: "What does your highness think now?"

A gust of wind suddenly rushed in from the window, blowing several people's clothes fluttering.

Li Muyi adjusted his clothes carelessly, but when he raised his hand, his demeanor suddenly changed and his eyes became sharp.

"The Northern Di have never thought of being an enemy of the Yu Dynasty. All the things we have shown before are for the promise that the Emperor of the Yu Dynasty can give us."

"As long as you can promise, Beidi is willing to be with Yuchao forever."

Xu Guanlin's expression changed slightly.

The Northern Di had the potential to invade, but they were hesitant to act. This time the envoys went to Sheng'an to find out their purpose.

It would be best if we could avoid war.

"Promise what?"

Li Muyi's soft voice revealed a cold murderous intent.

"I want the life of the governor of Chengzhou in the northern border!"
