You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

How could she not understand what Xiao Yan said?

Don’t desire what doesn’t belong to her?

Oh, does he think that now, she still wants his heart?

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and she said in a low voice:

"Zhao Yue will remember your highness's admonition."

Seeing her lowered brows and submissive look, Xiao Yan should have been happy.

At least if she recognizes her position, she will have less trouble in the future.

But in reality, seeing her so submissive and indifferent, he was not as happy as he had imagined.

"It's getting late, I'll take you back."

As he said this, Xiao Yun's dark phoenix eyes carefully looked at Lin Zhaoyue's fair and beautiful face, trying to catch a hint of different emotions on her face.

But no, she was very calm, so calm that she was impeccable.

If it were in the past, she would be happy for a long time if he just responded slightly.

What on earth could cause a person to change so much in such a short period of time?

Lin Zhaoyue looked up and met those deep black eyes. The man's gaze was unfathomable and difficult to understand.

However, Lin Zhaoyue didn't want to understand at this moment, and just said in a calm voice:

"Your Highness, just ask Feng Xin to take me back."

She was just reborn yesterday, and today she encountered his secret again. She really didn't want to see him.

"Since I have sent someone to tell you to go to the East Palace, wouldn't it be disrespectful if I don't send you off in person?"

After saying this, he didn't give Lin Zhaoyue any chance to refuse and walked out of the bedroom.

The carriage was shaking, and Lin Zhaoyue lifted a corner of the curtain to look at the bustling market outside.

How nice it is now!

Five years later, the Northern Jue invaded and the land was filled with starving people.

Even the capital of Anguo State was not spared, and the people were displaced and suffered terribly.

Lin Zhaoyue was stunned as she looked at everything outside.

The warm light flickered across her face, adding a hint of hazy beauty.

Although Lin Zhaoyue is not the kind of peerless beauty who can captivate a whole country at first sight, it is undeniable that she is beautiful.

That kind of beauty that is pretty, vibrant and full of energy, as if nothing can knock her down.

Her skin was very white, almost crystal clear.

The little face, as big as a palm, was white, tender and soft, with a bit of baby fat. It trembled slightly up and down as the carriage swayed, which was quite cute.

The man's handsome thin lips curled up slightly unconsciously.

After being pestered by her for two years, this was the first time that Xiao Yan looked at her so seriously and openly.

Lin Zhaoyue naturally felt Xiao Yun's gaze.

His gaze was different from before, it was more scorching and undisguised.

Lin Zhaoyue naturally wouldn't think that he treated her differently because of her coldness towards him. Even if he really treated her differently, he was just pretending to keep her stable.

He is the crown prince, and what he needs is a crown princess with a good family background who can give him support.

In his heart, Lin Zhaoyue was just a stepping stone for him to sit in that position and a shield to protect his sweetheart from harm.

There was a hint of mockery in Lin Zhaoyue's eyes, and she didn't care about Xiao Yan's gaze.

No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't tell that she was reborn.

Looking at the quiet girl, the man's hand with distinct finger bones rubbed the jade ring on his hand from time to time.

In the past, when they were alone, she would always chatter non-stop, but now, when they were riding in the same carriage, she didn't want to look at him.

There was no conversation along the way, and the carriage swayed slowly until it arrived in front of the Duke's Mansion.

Qingzhu was pacing anxiously at the door. When he saw the prince's carriage, he hurried over to greet him.

The carriage stopped, the girl bowed and thanked him, then took her maid into the mansion without saying a word or even looking at him.

After the door of the Duke's Mansion was closed, Feng Xin turned his head and asked:

"Your Highness, shall we return to the palace?"

"Go to the Lanting Waterside Pavilion. Also, have someone keep an eye on Lin Zhaoyue when we get back."

"Yes, Your Highness..."

……

Seeing the door closed, Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and asked nervously:

"Miss, are you okay? Did the prince do anything to you?"

Thinking about what happened today, Qingzhu still feels scared.

"I'm fine, how about you?"

"Qingzhu is fine. Guard Feng just asked me not to tell anyone about what happened today."

Lin Zhaoyue nodded and said:

"You must not tell anyone about what happened today, okay?"

"Okay, Qingzhu got it."

Qingzhu said this, lowering his head slightly, his face a little pale.

Fearing that her young lady would worry, Qingzhu did not tell Lin Zhaoyue that Feng Xin had given her poison today. If she dared to reveal what happened today, she would die suddenly.

Lin Zhaoyue was preoccupied with something and didn't notice Qingzhu's emotions. She asked:

"Where are my father and mother?"

"The master and mistress are swinging on the swings in the east courtyard."

When Lin Zhaoyue arrived at the East Courtyard, there were only Lin Ruojing and Mrs. Lin.

Mother sat on the swing and father pushed her gently from behind.

My father had been to the battlefield, and although he is now in his fifties, he is still tall and strong. Having held a high position for many years, he has an awe-inspiring demeanor.

"Daddy, grandma."

Hearing Lin Zhaoyue's voice, the couple looked towards the east courtyard gate and saw their youngest daughter. Mrs. Lin happily called out:

"Zhao Zhao is back?"

When Lin Rujing saw Lin Zhaoyue, there was some disgust on his face.

Does this naughty monkey have any sense at all?

He finally managed to spare some time to be affectionate with his wife, but she was tactless and went back to her room.

Lin Ruojing coughed twice to hint at something, but before he finished coughing, Mrs. Lin pinched the soft flesh on his waist.

"Oh, ma'am, it hurts, it hurts..."

Realizing that his daughter was still there, Lin Rujing immediately stopped talking, barely maintaining his image in front of his daughter.

Lin Zhaoyue also noticed that the atmosphere between her father and mother was not right. If it were any other time, she would have left tactfully, but tonight...

"Zhao Zhao has something to tell Dad and Mom. Zhao Zhao wants to cancel the engagement!"

As soon as Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, everything around her fell silent.

The smile on Mrs. Lin's face froze instantly, and for a moment she thought she had heard wrongly:

"Zhao Zhao, what did you just say?"

"Mother, I said I want to cancel the engagement with the prince."

The girl's tone was firm, and her expression didn't sound like she was joking.

Mrs. Lin and Lin Rujing looked at each other, and their expressions instantly became serious.

Lin Ruojing frowned slightly, with a hint of protectiveness, and even stopped calling the prince:

"But did that brat bully Zhao Zhao?"

Lin Zhaoyue shook her head.

Mrs. Lin stood up from the swing, walked to Lin Zhaoyue, held her hand, and said softly:

"Why does Zhao Zhao suddenly want to cancel the engagement?"

Zhao Zhao had gone through great pains to get this marriage in the first place, and she would not want to cancel the engagement so easily. Something must have happened that made Zhao Zhao feel wronged.

Rebirth is really unbelievable. The fewer people know about it, the less people know about it. Lin Zhaoyue only plans to tell her father and mother.

After letting Qingzhu go back to the house first, Lin Zhaoyue took her parents to the study room, took a breath, and said slowly:

"Father, Mother, I had a dream. I dreamed that after I married the prince..."
