What kind of joke was this?

Baili Lianer was still the best.

Not only was he good-natured.

He was still one of the famous people by the empress's side.

She was dignified and elegant, and also understood talent.

With just a bit of effort, she could be considered worthy of the Ninth Prince Su Nanxing that was known as a child prodigy.

Lin Xuecha did not care about how the rumors spread outside.

Although Su Nanxing had not made things difficult for her recently, he had not made things easy for her either.

She could recite the knowledge of the Way of Tea, but she still needed to practice the art of the Way of Tea by herself.

During the day, she would sit at the teahouse and practice her tea ceremony.

At night, Su Nanxing made her recite his books, and from time to time, he would show her some of the secrets he had learned from the palace that had existed for hundreds of years.

When he was practicing his tea ceremony.

Occasionally, Su Nanxing would caress her zither and let her assimilate into the world of the zither.

Occasionally, Baili Lianer would stroke her zither for her.

That was the first time Lin Xuecha heard Baili Lianer's zither music.

But, even though Baili Lianer and Su Nanxing played the same tune, the taste was different.

Su Nanxing would play those few melodies every day, and she would listen to them all the time.

When Baili Lianer played these few songs, she could hear a trace of bitterness from the faint sound of the zither.

She could not help but raise her eyes to look at Baili Lianer, only to see her entire person seemed to have fused with the zither music.

His eyes, which could not focus from a long distance, flashed with an extremely dull and bitter light.

It is said that when no emotion plays out a tune, it always makes people feel that it has a little less soul.

Su Nanxing also poured some emotion into the zither music, but Lin Xuecha could guarantee that it wouldn't be as bitter or as pleasant as Baili Lianer's.

In those few days, Lin Xuecha couldn't help but think about it.

For Baili Lianer to have such an injured expression, could it be …

Su Nanxing?

After continuously practicing tea arts for a few days, Lin Xuecha's skill in brewing tea had indeed improved greatly.

His movements were also much more nimble and beautiful.

At the same time.

She also knew a lot about the strange happenings in the harem.

A few more days passed. In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the seventh month.

Nothing major had happened in the palace.

Baili Lianer had also never been summoned by the empress into the palace.

The wind was calm and the waves were calm, causing people to feel fear in their hearts.

Lin Xuecha had talked to Su Nanxing today, and she was going out for a trip, so she might be able to come back a bit later today.

Su Nanxing's gaze did not change. She did not ask any questions, but only gave a light "En".

Lin Xuecha blessed his body, then turned and unhurriedly walked to the main entrance of the Ninth Prince Manor.

The man slowly raised his head from the book.

His gaze focused on Lin Xuecha, and the color of his eyes deepened slightly as he left.

Under the dim light of the room, the man's face was covered in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see his emotions.

After a long moment passed, he closed the book in his hand and opened his mouth.

"Qian Wu, protect her."

Hearing that, Qian Wu moved, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Master."

Seventh day of July.

We won't be able to see the entrance to the bustling streets filled with Capital City.

This was what Lin Xuecha had told Li Churan before.

Today, Li Churan had also sent her a letter, stating the time.

He said yes, they would meet at the street corner at dusk.

Lin Xuecha did not ask for a carriage, nor did he ask for any servants.

On the one hand.

Li Churan did not know that she had martial arts, if he had killing intent towards her, he might not be able to hurt her at all.

On the other hand.

This was an invitation he himself had put forward, and even the letter had been delivered to the Ninth Prince Palace.

If something really happened to her, he would have to bear the responsibility of murdering the princess.

She was very confident in herself, and very sure of her conjecture.

This was probably what it meant when he said that skilled men were bold.

When they first returned to Capital City, she and Fifth Prince Su An had a fight at the corner of the street.

Some commoners in the Capital City had seen her face before.

However, at that time, she had drugged herself. Her face was a little allergic, with spots on it. She looked extremely disgusting and unbearable to look at.

They did not have a good eyesight to measure the strength of their Capital City.

He could tell what she looked like with a single glance.

Lin Xuecha did not wear a veil to cover his face.

Wearing a light green robe, she stood under a willow tree at the entrance of the street, facing the wind.

There was someone wearing a green robe. He stood at the corner of the street for a while before his pitch-black eyes looked around.

When he saw Lin Xuecha's figure, his eyes slightly twitched.

He focused on the lady standing under the willow tree with her hands folded across her chest. After a long time, he slowly walked towards her.

The woman seemed to be thinking about something as she wandered in and out of space. Her eyes were slightly lowered, and she did not see him.

The youth curled his lips, and on his jade-like face, there was a trace of a smile.

He called to her, "Princess."

Hearing that, Lin Xuecha blinked his eyes, then slowly raised them, "Imperial Censor."

Li Churan's aura was noble and pure, her eyebrows were sharp and starry, all smiles were filled with elegance.

He was not the least bit polite, as if he already had a very deep friendship with Lin Xuecha.

"Outside, Churan didn't need to use honorifics to address the princess by her name. Churan then addressed the princess as' Miss Xue Xiu 'and changed her name to' Churan '. Princess, what do you think?"

Lin Xuecha also did not like gentle talking.

The other party's words made her feel satisfied. She nodded, "Snow tea is up to you."

Seeing Lin Xuecha, who did not care about the taboo in her title at all, Li Churan's eyes flashed slightly.

He gestured to her. "Tea girl, please."

The sky had long since dimmed down. In the clear and bright sky of the moon, there was a bright moon surrounded by bright stars; it was so beautiful.

The streets of Capital City were extremely busy.

In addition, it was the Lantern Festival. On the long path, there were rows of lanterns. A lover was holding a beautiful lantern, smiling at each other.

Lin Xuecha and Li Churan walked side by side on the right.

With the candlelight shining in his eyes, Lin Xuecha looked at Li Churan and asked.

"I heard that the Crown Prince hasn't caught the assassin who attempted to assassinate His Highness and Snowy."

Lin Xuecha's steps were small, so he could only move at the slowest speed.

However, there was no impatience on his face. Instead, he was happy.

When mentioning assassins, his face couldn't help but turn serious.

"This matter was investigated by Churan to assist the crown prince. However, this assassin was too cunning, he did not leave any traces behind, making it difficult for Churan to find their origins. This has disappointed His Highness and the princess."

It was hard to find his origin?

How could he possibly know the origin of this matter!?

A trace of ridicule flashed past Lin Xuecha's deep eyes.

Fifth Prince Su An is already a prince.

She didn't know who was behind him, but that person's identity was enough to stir up a storm within the imperial power …

Moreover, among the people who had caused this disturbance, there was a possibility that the Crown Prince's mother had done this.

But even if the crown prince found out, so what if it was the empress?

A grasshopper on the same line wouldn't be able to engage in internal strife on his own.

"We can't blame the crown prince and his lordship for this. The only thing we can say is that those assassins have too many tricks up their sleeves."

She only mentioned this because she wanted to see Li Churan's attitude towards it.

Not to make trouble.

"Churan will not let those bandits go, once we capture them, Churan will definitely send people to inform Miss Xue Hu."

Li Churan spoke with respect, but his expression was extremely calm.

He clearly didn't know who it was, but it was still possible for him to never be able to find it in his entire life. Thus, he spoke with extreme confidence.

Righteous and righteous.

Lin Xuecha's thin eyelashes slightly fluttered.

A calm and ambitious man like Li Churan was indeed very suitable to struggle in the government.

It wasn't that she wanted to mock him.

However, in the imperial court, the ending of an upright official was usually a miserable one.

The two of them did not mention the assassination again.

Quietly, he continued to walk forward.

It was very comfortable walking with Li Churan.

Lin Xuecha didn't need to be too wary of him.

It was not that Li Churan did not have any schemes.

Anyone who could stand still in the imperial court, how could this be possible? How could they not have shrewdness?

It was just that …

She and he had been involved in a murder.

She was saved by him.

Therefore, Lin Xuecha believed that for a righteous person like Li Churan, even if she had a goal, she would still invite her out for a chat.

It was also unlikely for him to say anything excessive.

"Miss Xueju hasn't returned to the Capital City for ten years, it's definitely because I don't know which clan's Capital City has the most beautiful lantern."

Li Churan said, and smiled at her, "How about, Churan take Miss Xue Cha out for a tour, how about it?"

Lin Xuecha nodded his head, "If that's the case, then I will have to trouble Master."

Li Churan happily agreed.

His demeanor was polite, and his entire body emitted the aura of a gentleman.

Her smile was not as cold as that of the Ninth Prince Su Nanxing, and it kept people at a distance.

His smile was exceptionally beautiful and warm, like the smile of a big brother next door.

Li Churan brought Lin Xuecha to the end of the street.

Normally, the end of the street was rather deserted, unlike the crowd at the end of the street.

But now, with a glance, it was a sea of people. It was extremely crowded.

Li Churan said, looking a little embarrassed.

"Churan forgot, the Zhang Family's reputation is spread far and wide, at this time, it should be the busiest time for the Zhang Family."

They walked in the middle of the crowd, side by side with the others.

Lin Xuecha looked ahead, "Then what does Master think we should do?"

"There are too many people at this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to squeeze in."

Li Churan looked ahead, then moved his gaze onto her.

"Why don't we go back later and take a look. Does Miss Xueju feel better?"

Lin Xuecha did not reply for a long time.

Because there were so many people, she was petite again, and her body was always bumped into by someone.

Once she stabilized her figure, she looked at Li Churan and said.

"Snow tea is up to you."

The color in Li Churan's eyes slightly changed, "Then right now, Churan will bring Miss Xuelao to a place first."

Lin Xuecha curled her lips and nodded in agreement.

Li Churan lowered his gaze, "Please forgive Churan for his presumptuous and disrespectful attitude, Miss Xuelao."

Puzzled appeared in Lin Xuecha's eyes. Just as he was about to ask, what did Li Churan mean by this?

However, her waist was suddenly tightened as her skirt swayed. Someone used a movement technique and wrapped her around his body before bringing her away from the ground.

The man lightly tapped on the roof with his foot and landed on the roof nearby.
