What she didn't know was that this man, who wasn't even afraid of swords, was actually afraid of needles. This was quite unbelievable.

She didn't continue to nag at him. She saw that he was scared of her so she immediately turned and left.

She was in a hurry, and the man's gaze lingered on her.

By the time he returned to the Spirit Hidden Temple, it was already dusk and candles had already been lit in every corner of the temple.

There was a familiar purple-clothed figure standing in front of the Great Hall with his back to her. The light emitted by the rows of candles within the hall fell on his body.

How could there be such a coincidence? He rarely frowned. He took advantage of the fact that the man didn't turn around and quickly bypassed the Main Hall to slip away.

When her figure had completely disappeared, the man turned his body slightly to the side, changing the way he was in the daytime. He looked in the direction she had left in with a deeper meaning, staying still for a long time.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the capital, inside the Sixth Prince's estate, the atmosphere was stifling.

He had originally wanted to be followed up, but today the information he had been sent back contained a name he was familiar with.

The door to the main house knocked twice before being pushed open with a creak. A guard came forward respectfully. "Reporting to the Sixth Prince, I've already brought your words to the Imperial Advisor's estate. Miss Yue should be arriving soon."

Rong Gan didn't say anything, but just nodded his head to signal for him to step down as he rubbed the teacup on his palm.

After a long while, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the corridor. Following which, it was Yue Xuan's and the servant's voice. "All of you, wait here."

The door opened and Yue Xuan walked in, dragging a light purple dress along with her. The flower pattern embroidered on the dress was a new fashion in the capital this year, and because Rong Qian wanted to see her, it had been specially worn.

The flame on the candlestick flickered as the door was suddenly opened.

Rong Qian looked up at her, his features resolute and handsome.

Yue Xuan became shy after noticing his gaze. She lowered her head slightly and walked towards the embroidery chair with small steps.

It just so happened that a maid came in carrying tea.

Yue Xuan, who was about to receive the tea, paused in her movements. She did not expect that Rong Gan had called her over for this matter.

Yue Xuan retracted her hand. She was a little dissatisfied and said in a tone that was usually used to speak to a woman. "Didn't something happen to her in the end?"

"Do you think you can still stand here if anything happens to her?" Rong Qian glanced at her indifferently, but there was no warmth in her tone.

Yue Xuan looked at Rong Qian with disbelief. How could her friendship with him be less than that of a young miss of the Yu Mansion that he had just met?

She took a deep breath. "That woman is not simple."

"Oh?" Rong Gan finally looked her in the eye and asked with raised eyebrows.

That woman was not simple, he naturally knew her. But even if it wasn't simple, that woman was still his fiancée.

"Who in the capital doesn't know that the Prime Minister's daughter has a weak body, but right now, she isn't like the rumors. Don't you know what her purpose of approaching you is?"

Sneering coldly, he remained silent.

If that woman really wanted to hide things from others, she wouldn't have attacked him that day on the roof.

"Your Highness, this woman is not a good person. Can you consider annulling the engagement?"

Seeing that Rong Gan did not say anything, Yue Xuan and Rong Gan directly said what they were thinking.

When the Imperial Concubine had picked the Crown Prince's consort, it was simply a matter of family background. However, Yue Xuan and the Imperial Concubine were teachers of a nation. In terms of power and position, which part of her was worse than the imperial concubine?

Rong Qian naturally knew what Yue Xuan was thinking, but she was not the person he placed in his heart.

"Unless mother's illness immediately recovers, this prince will definitely not go against her wishes."

When Yue Xuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Originally … Her foster brother had only stayed with that woman because he was following the imperial concubine's wishes!

She understood his dry personality very well. He was a man of his word, and his words were loud and clear. He would never lie to her.

After she happily returned to her residence, she immediately called for her trusted aides.

"There are many hermits in Jiangnan, you should immediately head out. It doesn't matter if you post on the leaderboard or listen to the rumors, but no matter what, you must find a genius doctor for our Imperial Advisor to bring back."

His confidantes departed in response. When Yue Xuan looked out of the window, her face was full of a assured smile.

As long as she didn't have to marry anyone, she could do anything.

The next morning, Spirit Hidden Temple.

As usual, in the early morning practice, there was a little monk gathering and chanting at the temple every so often. She had come to the back of the mountain for the sake of peace and quiet.

It was still early in the morning, and the faint mist that lingered between the trees mixed with the scent of grass made Yu Yu take a deep sniff and immediately felt extremely comfortable.

A day is a day in the morning.

Just as she was about to step onto a small path, she suddenly saw a man's silhouette shining by the side of the road. She instantly recognized that person.

The janitor who had helped her out of the predicament in the restaurant.

It was truly a lingering spirit! Yu Yu sighed in his heart and was about to turn around.

She really didn't want to get too involved with him.

But the man had already heard the footsteps behind him. He had wanted to make a scene of a fortuitous encounter in the mountains, but he hadn't expected that he would be so unmoved by his own sincerity.

This woman really didn't know how to react.

Since she was already here, how could it be so easy for her to get rid of her? He moved his body and quickly appeared in front of Yu Yu and quickly reached out his hand, blocking her path.

"It's better if you meet me by chance than as a young lady. At any rate, I saved your life yesterday, so why are you so cold?"

He had already found out her identity last night, and when North Korea was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister, he had also seen many interesting things from the information he had received.

Suddenly, someone stopped his steps. He frowned impatiently and said, "Get out of the way."

He didn't even bother to give a glance at this lecher.

The man raised his head and smiled. The folding fan in his other hand opened with a 'swoosh' sound, leisurely fanning the wind. He was unmoved by the rarely seen warning.

"Miss, why are you so heartless?"

He could smell the fragrance of Lingling Fragrance instantly.

Not only was this man thick-skinned, even his clothes and conduct were extremely worrisome.

"I told you to get out of the way, do you not understand me, or are you deaf?" She took the silver needle from her sleeve.

The man frowned. No one had ever dared to say such a thing to him … Such eloquent words, was this really that delicate young lady from the Prime Minister's Hall in the intelligence report?

He was even more interested in her. Seeing that she wanted to use the same trick again, he confidently withdrew his folding fan and took half a step back.

"I want to bet with you!" If you win, I'll leave, if you lose … You just have to agree to one of my requests, how about it? "
