Fei Wan was strolling in the palace when Xi Ruo heard some noise coming from the magnolia forest not far away. She stood in front of Fei Wan with a vigilant look on her face.
"Princess, it's best to be careful to avoid a repeat of the last situation."
Ever since Fei Wan was injured at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she would have stayed with him all the time unless Fei Wan had specifically told her not to.
If there is any sign of trouble, he will stand in front of her immediately.
Fei Wan couldn't help laughing when he saw her being so cautious.
Now in the palace, the only person I can trust is Xi Ruo.
Just this movement...
Fei Wan seemed to be lost in thought. She asked Xi Ruo to stand further away and watch over her, and then she walked into the magnolia forest alone.
Fei Wan parted the magnolia branches and saw Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue stared intently, and his Adam's apple slid slightly due to nervousness.
"Have you been looking for me? That's why you knew I was waiting for you here?"
Facing the man's expectant gaze, Fei Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?" and asked, "Why are you here?"
Asking despite knowing the answer.
Fengyi Palace is heavily guarded. Since Xiao Heng is targeting Xiao Yue so much, Xiao Yue naturally cannot take the risk of going to the palace to find him. He can only wait for her here.
This was Xiao Yue's first day of waiting, and luckily, he waited until quite late.
This made Xiao Yue wonder if Fei Wan had been looking for him these days, hoping that he would agree.
If she didn't have feelings for him, why would she choose him?
And now...how come I found him on the first day?
Xiao Yue was originally feeling a little disappointed, but he felt relieved when he thought of these things.
"As long as it's you, I promise everything you said before."
His voice was gentle, just like the gentle treatment he had shown Fei Wan when she was Miss Nan Wan.
The phrase "as long as it's you" is even more affectionate.
It's as if... it's just because it's too late.
Fei Wan glanced at him, taking in his reaction, and felt something was wrong.
Fei Wan thinks that she doesn't have such great charm, and Xiao Yue will agree sooner or later.
Only interests can make him take such a big risk. Relying solely on emotions may lead to betrayal at any time, but this layer of emotion can make the defense line in his heart be broken faster.
If Nan Wan hadn't gotten to know him through this identity, she wouldn't have made Xiao Yue realize his situation so quickly.
"If I succeed, your status will not change."
After hearing what Xiao Yue said next, Fei Wan finally understood what he thought was strange.
It's not about being moved, but about making Fei Wan think...
Did she make Xiao Yue misunderstand something?
Even if he still had some love for her, it was mixed with hatred.
Now...why is there only love left?
The girl's silence made Xiao Yue think that the person in front of him was still worried. He quickly brought up another matter: "Regarding Nan Qingqing, I wanted to expel her from the mansion, but she was given by the emperor..."
Xiao Yue said this to reassure Fei Wan that he would not empathize with her.
But... Fei Wan was already ruthless to him, so why should he worry?
However, seeing that Xiao Yue seemed to be hesitant to speak, Fei Wan did not refuse outright. She remained expressionless and waited for him to continue.
"She tricked me into having physical contact with her. Even so, if she gives birth to a child, I can still leave the mother and keep the child."
Even if he hated Nan Qingqing, he would not kill her because of the flesh and blood in her belly.
A very good reason.
Fei Wan noticed the word "have to" and found it ridiculous. Could it be that Nan Qingqing could kidnap him?
Fei Wan was relieved by Xiao Yue's behavior. He didn't agree to this out of love, but just used love as a cover. Behind the hypocrisy was more of a profit.
This shows that he is not in love, so he can usurp the throne.
As for the rest, Fei Wan doesn't want to be with him, so she will just trick him first and then deal with it later. What happens to him in the future has nothing to do with Fei Wan.
Fei Wan nodded slightly, pretending to be indifferent, and said slowly: "Okay."
