C55

This voice was very familiar to Lin Xuecha.

When she heard the sound, she followed the direction of the sound and looked at where it came from.

It was the man in the first carriage.

She was also one of her enemies, and that person was …

Eastern Palace Crown Prince Su Jin.

His pair of phoenix eyes that looked extremely similar to the master of the palace, Nan Gong Jie, looked on with extreme calm. Fifth Prince Su An and Lin Xueyu.

However, beneath his eyes, there was a sense of severity and rage mixed within, and his imposing manner was oppressing.

"Hurry up and get on the carriage!"

With that, Lin Xuecha looked at Fifth Prince Su An, wanting to see his expression.

At this moment, the man who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up.

"What? Are you regretting it?"

Lin Xuecha looked back, confused.

The horse carriage began to move.

As the carriage moved forward, the scenery outside the curtain of the carriage also changed.

She could not see or hear what they were saying.

Lin Xuecha gazed at the man in confusion, and then lowered the carriage curtain.

Puzzled, she asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

He saw that the man had long since put down the book in his hand.

He took a cup and poured himself half a cup of tea. His voice was carefree and casual.

"You've been looking out the window. Aren't you looking at the Five Kings?"

Lin Xuecha was baffled.

She had seen the Fifth Prince Su An before, but the word 'regret' had nothing to do with it.

Her doubts were clear.

The man gently placed the teacup in his hand on a small table.

He asked again, "Since I can't bear to part ways with him, then why did I want to break off the engagement with him?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuecha's lips couldn't help but twitch.

She naturally knew that if she wasn't willing to rescind the engagement between her and Fifth Prince Su An, then Fifth Prince Su An would have to take her as his wife.

This was a marriage contract that had been passed down in the imperial edict, and it represented the promise of the Son of Heaven.

This was the so called 'a promise is worth a thousand taels of gold'.

Fifth Prince Su An, if you don't want to marry her, that's tantamount to disrespecting an imperial decree.

The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the people, and the King's grandson is no exception.

Fifth Prince Su An, if you still want to protect your noble identity as a prince, marrying her, Lin Xuecha, is the most appropriate thing to do.

His decision was decisive, he couldn't do anything to her!

Available...

She had already broken off the engagement, hadn't she?

Back then, when he was in front of the Crown Prince, he had asked her before if he regretted going against the engagement.

Her answer back then was already very clear, wasn't it?

Now, what was the purpose of his question?

I tried to test it.

Or something.

After all, Su Nanxing was a member of the royal family.

Although the Fifth Prince Su An was not an important character, in the end, he was still a prince that came from the palace.

It was his siblings.

Now that the old Emperor was old, it was unknown which day he would head west.

At that time, the throne would be empty, and the Capital City would be in chaos.

He, the Crown Prince, Fifth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince might kill each other and kill each other for that position.

Thinking to this, she hesitated for a moment, then cautiously opened her mouth, "Your Highness said that, Snow Tea doesn't agree.

"Firstly, when Snow Tea looked out, it was only in the mood to watch a show. Secondly, Her Highness took it as Snow Tea looking at a Fifth Prince. Snow Tea did not agree with it. Secondly …"

She raised her gaze and stared into his eyes.

"It's not that Snowy isn't willing to give up on that marriage, but there is never going to be two people in the future.

Furthermore, Xue Chou had already said that for the beauty of adulthood, there is a reciprocity in benefits. Xue Chou does not need to regret it, nor will he regret it. "

In this world, how many people would give up on their happiness just for the sake of their happiness?

Her response was her heartfelt thought.

She believed that although it was true that they would not be happy to marry into the Fifth Prince Su An, but …

This wasn't the most important factor for her to rescind the engagement, but —

She would not, would not be willing to live in the eyes of the empress, in the world of the crown prince.

She was unwilling to marry a member of the royal family.

Her future would also not have anything to do with the royal family.

Moreover, once she became a woman, some things would be formlessly bound around her hands and feet.

Even more, it would make it difficult for her to move an inch.

Then her mother's enmity …

Who would report?

Su Nanxing was also a little surprised by her words.

"Hearing you say this, This King wants to ask you."

His phoenix eyes shifted as he stared at her with a dark expression.

"In your heart, what is forced upon you? What is the lack of a future?"

Lin Xuecha looked at him, "Does Your Highness want Snow Tea to answer this question?"

Su Nanxing focused on her, the curve on his lips was not deep nor shallow, and faintly smiled, "It's hard for you to answer, hm?"

His neither light nor heavy question gave rise to another theory.

Was it a question that made it difficult for her to answer, or was it something that made it difficult for her to answer.

The former meant that she might never have thought of this.

Therefore, he made things difficult for her by asking her at that time.

The latter meant that she had thought of this question, but it was inconvenient or she was unwilling to tell others.

Thus, it was difficult for her to answer this question.

Lin Xuecha looked at the man in front of him carefully.

He saw that the other party's face was as pale as midnight. His eyes were concealed a little as he acted casually.

He was obviously just asking casually.

She lowered her eyes slightly. Su Nanxing had treated her pretty well, it could even be said that he treated her very well.

Although she would not tell him the truth, what was the truth?

However, she didn't mind telling him the truth behind this.

"Two people who do not love each other, forcefully pulling each other together, calling it forcing, marrying a member of the royal family, treating it as having no future."

She looked up at him and smiled for the first time since she got in the car. "That's my answer."

The journey to the Grand Guanyin Temple would take almost an entire day.

Fortunately, Su Nanxing's carriage was comfortable, so when travelling, he did not feel particularly uncomfortable.

Lin Xuecha leaned against the side of the carriage, her hands linked together and casually rested on her legs.

Her eyes were closed and she was about to fall asleep.

Just now, she had thought that when she spoke out her answer, Su Nanxing would continue pestering her with that question.

Or perhaps, he would ask her some new questions.

But she didn't expect, that Su Nanxing's expression seemed to be startled, and then he started to cough dryly.

She got up, bent over the cup she had given him, poured hot water, and offered it to him.

He gently pushed her away and waved his sleeve at her.

After calming his breathing, he said, "The road is still very long. You should first sleep for a while. This King will call you over for lunch at noon."

Of course she didn't refuse.

It was he who was sick, not she.

It wasn't like she could expose her own abilities.

There was nothing to do but hand him a cup of hot water and moisten his throat.

She leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes.

Last night, she had slept soundly, and it was not yet time for her afternoon nap. She really did not have much sleep.

After a long time, his brain was still very active.

Lin Xuecha curled his lips and slowly opened his eyes.

The curtains on both sides of the carriage were put down.

Perhaps it was because the sun was shining fiercely on the curtain, causing the dim light inside the carriage to be slightly yellow.

She turned her head slightly and looked at the man beside her.

Su Nanxing did not sleep.

He sat inside.

His elbow rested on the small table, his fingers resting on his handsome cheek. His other hand was fiddling with the small stove in the corner of the small table.

Lin Xuecha looked over to see something covered the top of the furnace.

It was almost like an oval with many holes on the lid that formed a circle.

Judging by its appearance, it was quite exquisite.

A faint green smoke was emitted from the hole in the lid.

Su Nanxing's white and slender hand held onto a small piece of wood, and fiddled with the holes.

Lin Xuecha knew.

The green smoke was incense.

Incense was something that only the nobility, powerful officials and wealthy merchants could use.

Ordinary people, perhaps for the rest of their lives, would not know what the smell of incense was like.

Yet, the man in front of him was so extravagant that even the small carriage was lit on fire.

Tsk, he really is a noble disciple.

Not eating human suffering.

However, she didn't have a deep understanding of incense.

He did not know what kind of incense Su Nanxing was burning at this moment.

It smelled good.

She planned to swindle some people out of the Marquis Anping's Wife after she returned to the Manor this time.

In this quiet night like atmosphere, the man in her line of sight asked unexpectedly.

"You like this taste?"

Lin Xuecha was stunned for a moment.

From the moment she closed her eyes to the second before he spoke, she didn't move an inch.

He just opened his eyes.

Su Nanxing did not turn his head to look as well.

Her heart tightened with astonishment, but she immediately reacted and laughed out loud, "It smells really good. How could I not be happy with my Snow Tea?"

The man's expression was as calm as usual, and he gave a faint "En" sound.

Silence returned to the air.

The atmosphere within the carriage didn't seem to be too good.

This was the conclusion inferred from Lin Xuecha's intuition.

She looked at Su Nanxing again.

His gaze was fixated on the censer, without the slightest deviation.

There were no emotions in his eyes either.

He looked indifferent, neither displeased nor happy.

This was strange.

Her instincts were always accurate.

Lin Xuecha frowned, and started to seriously think, could it be that he had just done something that he shouldn't have, and it had affected his mood?

Available...

When he thought about it carefully, he once again felt that he hadn't done anything.

If she had had a dream.

Even though he said those words in his dreams, what did he say in his sleep? Those words were not good, and if they angered Su Nanxing, then it would still be okay.

The problem was, she didn't.

She didn't sleep, so naturally she didn't dream …

Lin Xuecha was silent for a moment.

She felt that no matter what happened, as long as she didn't do anything wrong, it would be fine.

There was a long way to go, and she couldn't sleep anyway. It was also good to bring someone to talk with her.

Thinking about it, Lin Xuecha stood up, and took the cup of water he gave Su Nanxing to drink.

Then, she sat down beside Su Nanxing, and asked seemingly casually, "Your Highness, do you also like incense?"

The man's expression was cold as he indifferently replied.

"Nope."
