"So, you and I are different." Lin Yanran said seriously.
"I will certainly not marry into Prince Hyun's mansion. What I want is to be with someone for the rest of my life, holding hands until we grow old together. Princess Hyun, putting aside my own opinion, my father has no sons, only me as his daughter. He absolutely does not want me to marry into Prince Hyun's mansion because... let me tell you something you may not like to hear, the prince's fate is uncertain."
Chang An was stunned. She had actually forgotten about this. In Chang An's heart, Bei Mingxuan must survive, and live well. Even if it meant sacrificing her own life, she would...
She suddenly realized that she was frightened by her own thoughts. What did it mean to "even at the cost of her own life"?
Chang'an shook his head and told himself in his heart that he and Bei Mingxuan were just simple partners.
There is no need to pay anything for the other party. She just wants him to sit on the throne and take away everything from Bei Ming Ye. It's that simple, that's it!
Lin Yanran looked at Chang'an and shook her head. She thought that Chang'an disagreed with her idea from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Yanran couldn't help but think more, "Of course, if Princess Xuan or Prince Xuan asked for permission and used the imperial power to pressure others, perhaps Yanran would marry into this Prince Xuan's mansion.
But if that day ever comes, Yanran promises that in this palace, there will be only me and no one else. I, Yanran, will never share a man with any other woman."
Hearing this, Changan was unhappy in his heart. It sounded like he was willing to share a man with someone else. So without thinking too much, he opened his mouth and retorted, "Why don't you say that if that day really comes, I, Gu Changan, will not be able to tolerate you?"
Lin Yanran was stunned for a moment, then a smile slowly appeared on her lips. "Look, you still care, don't you?"
"..." Chang'an was stunned, but couldn't say a word. He subconsciously looked towards the closed door.
At this moment, she could almost imagine how annoying Bei Mingxuan's expression would be after hearing these words!
Lin Yanran followed Chang'an's gaze and couldn't help but smile. "Perhaps it's because you are the only woman by Prince Xuan's side, so you yourself can't realize the feeling of jealousy."
Changan smiled, "Maybe. Yanran, don't let what I said today make you feel distant from me. I was thinking about interacting with you more in the future. From childhood to adulthood, there has never been a person who was willing to confide in me. When I met you today, I felt that we were compatible and had the same feelings, so it was inevitable that we would talk a lot."
Also, don't overthink it. I wouldn't do anything to use my imperial power to oppress others. Besides, you're right, there are many things I just haven't realized yet."
Everything Changan said today was just to narrow the distance between Lin Yanran and Bei Mingxuan, and to tie Lin Shangde and Bei Mingxuan together.
Looking back, I almost ended up making things worse. Now that I calm down and think about it, if I had gotten closer to Lin Yanran, it seems that I could get twice the result with half the effort.
[You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.] Bei Mingxuan's voice with a hint of laughter was in his ears. Chang'an knew that he was the only one who heard Bei Mingxuan's voice at this time.
Changan used the same method to tell Bei Mingxuan, "If you can't eat hot food, can't you eat cold food?"
Bei Mingxuan in the other room, [!!!]
At this moment, Chang An noticed that there was a hint of anger in Lin Yanran's eyes. "Yanran, you...what's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Lin Yanran immediately realized that she had lost her composure. "Princess, don't overthink it. It's not your fault."
Chang'an looked at Lin Yanran, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and immediately understood in his heart that Lin Yanran had something to say to him, but she was still worried, or she was not sure whether it was in accordance with the rules to tell him.
Changan had a reassuring smile on his lips, "Yanran, if you want, you can treat me as a deaf or dumb person.
Of course, if you agree, I would rather treat you as a loyal listener.
Our origins are no different from those of ordinary people. We seem to be extremely honorable, but who understands the helplessness behind it? Many things can only be kept quietly in our hearts.
Even a relationship that is thicker than blood may not be something that can be told.
Only those who are truly unaffected by interests, or those who are closely tied together by interests, can say a few words.
In my opinion, between you and me, it belongs to the former."
"Yes." Lin Yanran said affirmatively, "So, the princess and Yanran have the same idea."
But in the end, Lin Yanran had overlooked one thing, that was her father. Lin Shangde was the prime minister of the dynasty, and Gu Changan was the principal wife of the prince Bei Mingxuan.
How can there really be no interests and connections?
However, in Lin Yanran's heart, Bei Mingxuan was just a single prince, at most a wealthy prince.
After all, in everyone's eyes, he was a short-lived prince who would never have any chance of becoming emperor and a prince who would never interact with any other princes.
This is the most reassuring thing.
She thought of everything, but she forgot that he, Bei Mingxuan, was a prince after all, the emperor's son.
Chang'an looked at Lin Yanran's expression and knew that she was no longer on guard against him, or in other words, her vigilance was not so high anymore.
Her voice was gentle and her eyes were smiling. "I am the same age as you, just a few months younger than you. From now on, when we are alone, I will call you Sister Lin. How about you call me Sister Gu?"
"Then it's settled. This is only for private use, when it's just you and me. As long as there's a third person present, you're still Princess Xuan, and I'm still Lin Yanran. I never want to ruin my father's reputation."
"Of course. Prime Minister Lin is highly respected and a man of integrity. Prince Xuan and my father admire Prime Minister Lin. Now that we can chat so well, I'm sure my father will be very happy too." Chang'an nodded.
"Yes, my father is fine." A trace of sadness flashed across Lin Yanran's eyes. "Sister Gu, I heard that the emperor has asked a ghost doctor to treat Prince Xuan. If possible, I have a request."
"Sister Lin, just speak frankly." Chang'an patted Lin Yanran's hand and found that her hand was very cold. He immediately took off his cloak and said, "Sister Lin, put it on quickly."
This action made Lin Yanran feel that Chang'an was a person who was easy to get along with.
"My father is not in good health. I think Sister Gu must have heard about it. At this time last year, my father got a strange disease." Lin Yanran suddenly stopped talking, looked at Gu Changan and then looked around. Changan immediately understood what she meant.
"Sister Lin, you can speak without worry. There's no place to hide your ears here."
"Actually...actually, my father was poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Chang'an was surprised. "Who is so capable as to poison the prime minister?"
"Sister Gu, who do you think has this ability?"
