Seeing her lowered eyes, seemingly bashful to the point that he didn't know what to say, the thought of playing tricks on her floated in Xiang Rongcheng's mind.

His long index finger lifted Shi Anran's chin to face herself, and against the bright and clear bright moon, her flickering eyes were sparkling and translucent, almost causing him to be unable to extricate herself from her intoxication. Half a day later, she smacked her lips together, "Anran, I originally thought that the women of the world were all ugly, but now I know that only Anran can be called the" Qingcheng "."

This was not the first time Xiang Rongcheng had said that her looks were exceptional, but this man who always praised others didn't know that he was the one who deserved to be called that kind of peerless beauty.

Shi Anran took in a light breath. The cool breeze of the night engulfed her heart, and also gradually retracted the emotions that she had somewhat lost control of. Following that, with a gentle expression and light voice, she asked, "Do you always praise women this way?"

"Yes, and no!" Although the unhappiness that flashed past Shi Anran's eyes disappeared quickly, he was caught by surprise. Xiang Rongcheng lowered his body, and her eyes, that were burning hot, stared straight into the woman's eyes: "Why aren't you looking at me anymore? Before, you were so daring to let me slap you on the face, but now, you don't even have the courage to look at me. Anran, why am I getting more and more confused about you? Can you tell me what kind of woman you are? "

"Those are the real me." In this chaotic world, she already knew how to disguise herself and how to protect herself, but she couldn't hide herself in front of him.

"Then tell me, are you welcoming me outside the palace today, or is it him?" This question seemed so plain, but it carried the jealousy of a man.

Shi Anran was someone who had experienced many emotions in her previous life, so she naturally understood what he meant. While she was secretly laughing in her heart, she asked in a serious tone, "I wonder who he is …"

"Stop playing dumb! Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's made clear. He's the Third Prince I'm talking about. So, can you tell me the answer now? " Xiang Rongcheng's expression was currently too persistent, it was as if if if she didn't give him an answer today, then the two of them would have been stuck at this place forever.

Regarding his current attitude, Shi Anran just didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She then explained: "Do you think I can freely enter the Imperial Palace like you? "If it wasn't for the news from Eunuch Zhao asking me to send a change of clothes to the emperor, perhaps I wouldn't have met you."

"So you don't have any intention of welcoming me? Is it all just a coincidence?" When Xiang Rongcheng finished speaking these words, the corner of his mouth had a thirty to fifty percent coolness, and he stuck one bite onto her waist, and brought her closer to his embrace.

Xiang Rongcheng went over to take a close look at the woman who was holding back her laughter. Anger surged up as he said: "It's fortunate that I rushed back in the middle of the night to see you. Along the way, I didn't even rest for a moment.

Saying that, Xiang Rongcheng's voice had a hint of grievance, compared to the other people who saw him as the valiant and cold Young General, how did he look like the same person?

"Rong Cheng, you …" "There's no need for that." Shi Anran knew the path that she would have to walk in the future, and she and Xiang Rongcheng would not be the same type of person.

"In the future, you are not allowed to look at Third Prince. If I find out, I will definitely torture you!" Xiang Rongcheng said while gnashing his teeth.

Shi Anran laughed helplessly, she looked down at his handsome features: "Why do you keep bringing me and Third Prince together?"

Hearing that, Xiang Rongcheng became even more unhappy: "The way you look at him is different from the way you look at me. Anran, I'm not stupid, how can I not see through it?"

Hearing him say that, Shi Anran was also startled, she truly placed too much importance on the Third Prince, she clearly did not have that kind of intention, she was just a partner, but in the eyes of others, it was that kind of intention. It looks like, in order to prevent her trade with Third Prince from being seen, it would be better for her to keep some distance.

After thinking about it, Shi Anran gave a faint smile and curled her lips: "Looks like you're really thinking too much. Because Third Prince saved me a few times when I was still in the palace, I gathered together when I had nothing to do, and it's not what you think."

Originally, Xiang Rongcheng thought that it was fine that she had explained it, but he said depressingly: "Then I also saved you, why didn't you just meet me? Even if you see me every time, it's like you're avoiding a god of pests. You really don't have a conscience when you say you don't have a conscience!"

The reason why Shi Anran did this was because she did not want him to sink any deeper into the abyss. After all, the paths that they had to walk were different from each other, and she did not want to harm Xiang Rongcheng because of it.

Shi Anran did not answer his question, "Rong Cheng, have you thought about what you want in the future?"

Hearing this, Xiang Rongcheng did not think much into it, as if he had thought about this in his heart many times over. He replied: "Even if you ate a few acres of fertile land and were to settle down as a woodcutter in the mountains, it would be sufficient to have one's heart …"

It was enough to have one person in his heart.

What an enviable sentence, but unfortunately, these things were already too far away for Shi Anran. She faintly raised her face, and after being silent for a while, her lips slowly parted as she said. In her previous life, she could have thrown everything aside and sought only for a single freedom. It was a pity that the heavens had allowed her to be reborn in this chaotic world, and they were already destined to have her change her fate.

"Anran, what do you want?" He had thought about this question for a long time and had already answered it before, but he did not believe that this would be the future that Anran would want.

"Me? "I want everyone in this world to not disappoint me …" Her eyes shone as she said those words, regardless of whether Xiang Rongcheng could understand what she meant, she immediately turned and left, since this was not a place to stay for long. The palace was filled with hidden struggles and battles. This was the only way for her to protect herself.

"Anran..." Xiang Rongcheng's soft call came from behind.

With incomparably complicated feelings in her heart, Shi Anran quickened her pace towards the direction of the Qian Qing Palace. Not long after, she discovered a silhouette rushing towards the back of the bamboo forest. She could already tell who it was with a glance. Although she already knew that the Imperial Noble Consort Zhao was someone from the Third Prince, what was she doing here so late at night?

Under the pressure of her curiosity, Shi Anran quietly walked over. Just as she was about to greet him, she heard a calm voice from the Third Prince, "How has royal father been recently?"

"Your Highness, don't worry. The Emperor won't notice."

"Mm, that's good."

Imperial Noble Consort Zhao pondered for a moment, then said, "I was worried that if the dosage was too high, I might be discovered by the Emperor, so I used half of my normal self."

Hearing that, Li Mu looked slightly unhappy, but he also nodded his head indifferently. Just as he was about to say something, a light flashed in his eyes, he saw a shadow flash past and covered Imperial Noble Consort Zhao's mouth: "There is someone here!"

The Imperial Noble Consort Zhao nodded in agreement. Li Mu quickly chased after him as he was relatively familiar with this place. Afraid that the people behind him would chase up to them, she crouched down in the cave beneath the fake mountain.
