Not to mention there was someone in Su Nanxing's heart, even if she did not marry a member of the royal family, it would be impossible for them to do the same in her entire life.

However, since it was the old emperor's suggestion, she had to be cautious about it.

Your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your esteemed master, is also the master of Xueju." Your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your highness, your esteemed master, is also the master of Xueju.

The old emperor, however, didn't think much of it. "Although there aren't many cases where a master marries a disciple, there's definitely none.

If the two of them truly like it, so what if they are together?

Hearing this, Lin Xuecha frowned.

Her reputation had long since been ruined.

But Su Nanxing was a prodigy whose name shook the world.

From his parents' point of view, if his child was outstanding, then the wife or husband of his child should be outstanding as well.

Otherwise...

How could there be such a thing in this world?

Even though her father, Marquis Anping, held military power.

However, as the son of the Emperor, he would never be afraid of the Emperor.

Had he not thought that if she liked Su Nanxing and agreed to marry him?

But Su Nanxing didn't like her, and the old emperor wanted Su Nanxing to marry her...

Would the consequences be detrimental to the interests of the two families?

Seeing that Lin Xuecha did not answer for a long time, the old emperor's face slightly changed.

"Could it be that, little girl, you don't like my Lao Jiu, hmm?!"

The last question was asked in a light tone, but it was very serious.

Lin Xuecha quickly kneeled down, prostrating himself in a humble manner.

"Your majesty is overthinking things. Xuewa just felt that the matter of the marriage was of great importance, not to mention that my father hasn't returned to the capital yet. Xuewa thinks that it's better for the emperor to first ask His Highness about this matter."

A light flashed in the old emperor's eyes, but his expression was still solemn and gloomy.

"You don't have to ask Lao Jiu. We will only ask for your opinion."

Lin Xuecha didn't know why the old emperor insisted on asking for her opinion.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be trying to get along with Su Nanxing and her to become husband and wife.

Why was that?

Su Nanxing was his beloved duke.

As for her, she was the first daughter of an official he should be afraid of.

Logically speaking, he should be the one who had the most against it. She had dealings with Su Nanxing.

However …

No.

Not only not.

And it kept going.

There must be demons in this anomaly, Lin Xuecha would not easily take risks with him.

Moreover, Su Nanxing had someone in his heart.

If she agreed to the old emperor's words, she would become his concubine.

Su Nanxing was afraid that he would be infuriated, even cutting off his relationship with her Master and disciple?

However, she couldn't offend the old emperor either.

Some things still had to be said in a round way.

Therefore, Lin Xuecha answered ambiguously.

"Your Highness, although Xueju likes Your Highness, but in matters of marriage, since ancient times, the decisions of the parents will be made, and my father will return to the capital soon. At that time, Xueju will ask for your father's opinion, does the emperor think so?"

The old emperor didn't say it out loud, but neither did he say it out loud.

He only raised his dragon robe, indicating for her to withdraw.

Walking out of the Hall of Announcements, Lin Xuecha looked at the sky and exhaled.

It was a good thing that she had entered the palace quite a few times before. She had memorized all the routes she had taken to leave the palace, which was why she hadn't gotten lost.

It was the afternoon of the Capital City, but the sky was unusually dark, and from the looks of it, it seemed like it was about to rain.

It was so gloomy that it made one feel depressed.

Lin Xuecha slowly walked out of the palace alone.

A pair of bright, clear, and cold eyes looked forward with an extremely calm expression.

Suddenly, a person walked into her line of sight.

Lin Xuecha's eyes moved slightly, and looked back at him quietly.

The man was dressed in a dark blue robe. He walked slowly, one hand on his stomach and the other behind his back.

The aura of a scholar assaulted his senses.

However, the corners of his mouth curled up unrestrainedly, and he grasped the angle very well. He wanted to smile or not, but at the same time, it was a smile that wasn't a smile at all.

Her gaze continued to follow Lin Xuecha.

When the two of them got close, Lin Xuecha stopped in his tracks.

She bowed towards the man. "Snow tea, greetings to the Fifth Prince, your highness."

Fifth Prince Su An's brows curved. "For some reason, this king feels that it's a little strange for the princess to be so courteous."

He didn't say that he would be able to stand up, but Lin Xuecha was able to stand up straight by herself.

She looked at him deeply.

After a long while, she slowly walked in front of him, stretched out her hand, and made a gesture on his face.

It covered both his jaw and his forehead.

Only the corners of his eyes were visible.

Fifth Prince Su An was not annoyed, she just watched her quietly.

As though he had gotten the result, Lin Xuecha retracted his hand.

Her gaze was extremely cold. After coldly glancing at Fifth Prince Su An, she walked past him and headed out of the palace.

"What, nothing happened in Princess Yuexi, did you want to ask this king?"

A loud voice resounded from behind her.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for Lin Xuecha to hear her clearly.

She stopped in her tracks and did not look back at him, instead she said, "If you were to ask about the Snow Tea, would Your Highness answer?"

The man behind her seemed to smile. "If the princess doesn't ask, how would I know? This King won't answer you?"

Lin Xuecha was not in the mood to go around in circles with him.

Since the other party had already said so, she was naturally not a person who could not grasp the opportunity.

She turned around and her gaze returned to the man.

The curve of his lips was almost devoid of temperature.

Lin Xuecha said, "Then I shall ask, why is Fifth Prince treating Snow Tea like this, and Prince Jing Ran?"

Why did he have to cover his face and force them off the cliff?!

Maybe, the Fifth Prince Su An had a bad relationship with her.

After all, both sides had been bound together since childhood.

They did not know each other. They did not like each other, and they were even tied together by strong points. This was truly irritating.

In addition, he also had a lover.

If he were to marry her, his opinion of her would be even greater.

This, she admitted.

But, after all, their marriage was still annulled, wasn't it?!

Fifth Prince Su An, what right do you have to go against her?!

Did she provoke him?

He actually wanted to take her life.

Fifth Prince Su An's eyes flashed. He turned his hand away from the front, and hid it behind his back.

He stood with his hands behind his back.

"How did you know about what happened that day? It was This King's intention?"

"It wasn't Prince's intention," Lin Xuecha laughed coldly, "Could it be that it was Snowy's own intention?"

Fifth Prince Su An also did not mind Lin Xuecha's rudeness, but he did not directly answer her question.

Instead, he said, "Seeing that you look pretty good, and that we have an engagement in the past, I advise you to stay away from the royal family."

Lin Xuecha squinted his eyes.

It wasn't the first time she had heard such words.

Once upon a time, Imperial Censor Li Churan had also said those words to her.

But why?

Everyone knew to stay away from the royal family.

But why did he have to tell her everything?

Li Churan thought that he had a motive in mind.

It wasn't so much that he would say that to her, but only to test her reaction.

He wanted to test if she was smart enough to sense that something was wrong.

Then, what about this person in front of him?

And for what?

Lin Xuecha raised his head and looked at Fifth Prince Su An.

Her voice was calm and steady.

"So, the reason why the Prince pursued and killed Snowy, was to give her a warning, right?"

"Why is it a warning?"

Fifth Prince Su An glanced at her and chuckled softly.

"However, you can also think the same way. After all, you are still alive."

Heh …

Lin Xuecha could not help but sneer.

Could it be that her life was so cheap in the eyes of these people?

Her black eyes that were calm and filled with coldness, actually laughed again.

"Your highness has always said that it is better to keep your snow-white tea away from the royal family. However, your highness, as long as your snow-white tea is away from them, why?"

Little Sister Xueyu's identity is almost the same as Xue Wu Xia's, why is Your Highness not persuading Little Sister Xueyu and instead staying away from the royalty? "

Even though Lin Xuecha's identity was similar to hers, Lin Xuecha himself was very clear about it.

She and Lin Xueyu, were still different from each other.

She would ask that, but she just wanted to know how the Fifth King would answer.

Thus, he was able to determine whether he was the person standing beside the empress or not.

"She is her, and you are you. How can you be compared to her?"

When Lin Xueyu was mentioned, the Fifth Prince Su An's voice instantly lowered by eight degrees.

He looked at Lin Xuecha, "Since you are Xueyu's sister, this king will advise you once again. If you want to be safe and sound, then for the rest of your life.

It would be best if it was now, then, to propose to Royal Father that you marry an unknown brat. He can be literary, have etiquette, or also have money, but the condition is that he must be an ordinary person.

After that, you can be considered to have completely withdrawn from the whirlpool that is the palace.

Oh –

With this, she would be suitable to marry a nobody.

Her little sister could fly up the branch and become a phoenix.

What kind of person was fit for what kind of person, was that what they meant?

It had to be said that Fifth Prince Su An's advice was really annoying.

Even though she didn't have much of a goal herself.

When she found out the truth and overturned the Queen, maybe she would just follow Ting Zhu and travel the seas. Who would still want to get married?

However, hearing his words, he felt humiliated.

Steady...

Heh.

She, Lin Xuecha, had never been someone to settle things peacefully.

If she really wanted to pursue stability, then wouldn't it be very safe to stay in the nunnery, not return to Capital City, and not see the empress?

Why bother coming back?

The coldness in Lin Xuecha's eyes could be seen.

She stared at Fifth Prince Su An, she was not happy, but she was also not angry, her voice was calm as usual as she replied with a question.

"What if I don't want to?"

Fifth Prince Su An looked at her indifferently.

Lin Xuecha wore a light green palace dress, and her black hair was tied into a beautiful bun.

Her hair was tied up in a bun with a delicate plum blossom hairpin in place. The flowing tassels swayed gently, causing her to appear very elegant. She was like a fairy that had transcended the mortal world, elegant and refined.

However, her eyes were stubborn and cold.

There was no sense of recognition towards his words.

"What can you do?"

Fifth Prince Su An laughed.

Slowly, slowly, he leaned toward her.
