Inside the pavilion, the girl's forehead was covered in sweat. Before the astonishment on her face could be removed, she panted heavily.
"Miss, did you have a nightmare again?" maidservant lifted the curtain and helped the girl up from the bed, "Next time, this servant will go to the temple and get Miss a talisman.
Mo Qingyan looked at maidservant's pretty face and his fingers trembled. He forcefully suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "Ah Nuo, what day is it today? Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Ninth Prince is passing through the manor today. Old master has ordered for them to start their preparations early in the morning." As maidservant helped Mo Qingyan wash up, he muttered to himself, "Miss, how did you forget about such an important matter?"
Ninth Prince...
Mo Qingyan mumbled to himself and suddenly laughed. There was an indescribable sadness in his smile.
He had been awake for a month and Mo Qingyan felt that he was still in a dream. Everything around him was an illusion.
She remembered that she was dead. Warm blood was flowing out of her body. It was so cold. Slowly, darkness descended upon her eyes. She did not know why, but she was alive again.
"Miss, it's still not dawn yet. Do you want to sleep for a while longer?"
"No, just wait here. Don't break the rules." The hand on his knee tightly clenched, thinking back to that person in his memories, Mo Qingyan's face only remained as cold as ice.
Long Tianze, in this life, I definitely cannot let you fulfill your wish like you did in the past.
After breakfast, the people in the front hall urged him on three times, only then did Mo Qingyan leisurely take his steps.
Mo Wende was already getting impatient from waiting, "Yan, why have you only come over now? Hurry up and greet Ninth Prince and Noble Heir Lin. "
With regards to his own daughter, whether it was drawing or playing, or looking, Mo Wende was extremely satisfied with her.
However, rules were rules after all. They couldn't be overstepped.
"Miss Mo, no need to be so courteous." Without waiting for her to apologize, Long Tianze had already spoken first, "Girls all love beauty, it's normal for them to take some time to prepare their makeup."
"Thank you for your understanding, Ninth Prince." Mo Qingyan slightly nodded and sat beside Mo Wende. She then turned her gaze towards the man who did not say a thing, "Noble Heir Lin, do you have time to rest at Minister's Mansion today?"
As soon as his voice fell, everyone present was stunned.
Lin Zifeng's personality was cold, from the moment he entered the door, he had not said a single word, as though wherever Long Tianze was present, he would forever be the most inconspicuous of them all.
However, Mo Qingyan remembered that in his previous life, he was the only one who rushed into the palace to save her, regardless of the cost. In her previous life, she only had Long Tianze in her eyes, and did not even know the name of the man who carried her on his back, who was drenched in blood, running for his life.
The guilt in her heart made her eyes sour. She closed her eyes for two seconds before opening them again. The wetness eased the dryness and also covered up the emotions in her eyes.
Lin Zifeng was not good with words, when he was suddenly asked, he was a little surprised, and did not know what to say for a moment.
"Oh, since Noble Heir is fine today, the two of us have come together." Long Tianze laughed heartily, and took up the topic: "I heard that Miss Mo had fallen into the water a few days ago, is it better now?"
After Long Tianze finished speaking, his gaze swept across Lin Zifeng's body without leaving any trace, and frowned secretly.
Mo Qingyan only wanted to hear Lin Zifeng's voice, so he was not happy about being robbed, and he felt even more disgusted with Long Tianze. However, the person beside her was still standing there with a cold expression. This caused her to feel stifled.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This subject's health is unharmed." Mo Qingyan replied as he lowered his head and stared at the cup, not saying a word.
It was the same in his previous life. Long Tianze showed false concern, but Lin Zifeng was like a wooden block, willing to serve as his foil from beginning to end.
If she hadn't been revived and seen through the nature of the person before her, she would never have noticed his silence.
"My daughter is shy. Your highness, please excuse me. Your highness, I'd like a cup of wine." Mo Wende looked at Mo Qingyan's lowered head in thought and thought, thinking that she was being bashful.
"Come, Zifeng, how about you try the wine from Minister's Mansion?" Long Tianze placed a cup in front of Lin Zifeng and raised his own as well.
"Yes." Lin Zifeng frowned slightly, he did not express his displeasure and gulped down the wine in his cup.
When the fine wine entered his throat, although it wasn't as spicy as the strong wine, it still caused an unpleasant taste. He did not like this kind of situation, because of Long Tianze's face, he could not reject it.
Right now, the only person who this Minister's Mansion was somewhat of interest to him was the Miss Mo in front of him.
Perhaps it was because of that sudden question just now, but Lin Zifeng felt that this young noble whose name filled the capital was not as cold and elegant as he had imagined.
He raised his head and looked over. Coincidentally, that line of sight was also looking over, and it left as soon as it came into contact with his face.
Looking at his expression, he probably still hadn't fallen in love with her yet. It's just that to the end of his past life, he had never told her when he started having feelings for her.
Lin Zifeng was the son of a sinner who had his surname crippled. He had the title of Noble Heir but in reality, he was just like a puppet controlled by someone.
"Yan, do you have something on your mind?" Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time and didn't even look at him, Long Tianze felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Nope." Mo Qingyan shook his head and replied concisely.
Mo Wende was startled, she sensed that something was amiss with the tone, and immediately opened her mouth, "Your Highness, my daughter has just recovered from her severe illness, her body is still weak, please do not blame her."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Mo Qingyan with a frown, "If your body is not feeling well, you can go back and rest first.
"Yes, Yan has been disrespectful, and will withdraw now." Just sitting with Long Tianze was enough to make her feel uncomfortable.
In the corridor.
Mo Qingyan looked in the direction of the front hall, he took a while to calm his heart and asked: "Has he left?"
In his previous life, he didn't know what Long Tianze and his father had said, but the two of them had arranged for a marriage on the spot.
In this life, she could not allow the tragedy of Minister's Mansion to repeat itself.
