The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

"Thank you, Nangong Mingxuan"

"Fool...you're being polite to me again."

next day

Nangong Mingxuan took Ouyang Miaoling out in a low-key carriage.

On the other side, news came that Ouyang Miaoling was coming.

Dongfang was already nervous and at a loss.

"Lan Yu... Do you think Ling'er and I can go back to the way we were before?"

"Do you think Ling'er will forgive me?"

"Do you think Ling'er would mind that I'm unclean?"

Lan Yu didn't respond, and just watched Dongfang pacing back and forth in the tent, talking to himself.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report outside the tent.

"Grand Prince... a distinguished guest from Northern Qi has arrived"

Dongfang quickly straightened his clothes and smoothed the non-existent hair on his temples with his hands.

After being satisfied with his appearance, he walked out of the tent to greet Ouyang Miaoling.

"Ling'er, you're here?"

"cough cough..."

A man coughed behind Ouyang Miaoling.

Dongfang looked behind Ouyang Miaoling and saw Nangong Mingxuan following her.

Then he asked unhappily, "Why is he here too?"

The joy he felt when he saw Ouyang Miaoling completely disappeared the moment he saw Nangong Mingxuan.

"Why? The eldest prince doesn't want to see me?"

"If it weren't for my cooperation this time, I don't think the eldest prince would have been able to gain a foothold in Dayu so quickly. Shouldn't you thank me?"

"Prince Regent...I am not the only one who benefited from this cooperation. Didn't the Prince Regent also successfully eliminate a threat to the court?"

“Hehehe…same here.”

Nangong Mingxuan's awkward laugh eased the atmosphere.

"Your Highness can't let us stand here and talk, right?"

The person who spoke was Ouyang Miaoling, and one could tell that her words were full of sarcasm towards Dongfang.

"Ling'er...um, I hope you can listen to my explanation."

"I didn't mean to hide my true identity,"

"It was just that it was an extraordinary period and I had no choice but to conceal it. I hope Ling'er will forgive me."

"Your Highness, you are joking. You have your reasons for hiding your identity. I am not related to you. There is no need for you to explain to me."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Dongfang who was petrified on the spot, but walked into Dongfang's tent.

Nangong Mingxuan, with an evil smile on his face, followed him into the tent, leaving Dongfang standing there motionless.

"master.."

Dongfang didn't come to his senses until Lan Yu behind him reminded him.

"Oh..."

"Miss Miaoling has already entered the tent."

Dongfang then raised his legs and hurried into the tent.

He immediately asked someone to bring the best tea.

"Ling'er... this is top-quality tea. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"The eldest prince's tea must be excellent"

After Ouyang Miaoling finished speaking, with a smile on her face, she picked up the teacup beside her, brought it to her lips and took a sip.

Dongfang felt a mixture of emotions after hearing Ouyang Miaoling's words, as if a seasoning bottle had been overturned.

"Grand Prince...We are here to pay tribute to Sifan. I wonder if you can make arrangements."

Seeing this, Nangong Mingxuan quickly made a request, to finish the work early and go back early. He couldn't stand the way Dongfang looked at the little woman.

"Okay... I'll make arrangements right away and personally take you to the memorial service."

"Thank you, Grand Prince." Nangong Mingxuan deliberately emphasized the three words "Grand Prince".

He just wanted to bring it up on purpose to disgust Dongfang, because he was still thinking about Ling'er.

So, led by Dongfang, several people came to Sifan’s tomb to pay tribute.

The dead are the greatest. No matter how many grudges there were during life, they will all be wiped out after death.

Siyu was burning paper money in front of the grave, listing all the faults that Sifan had committed during his lifetime.

Dongfang, who was standing aside, listened and lowered his head in shame.

After the few people finished paying homage, they were about to go back.

Suddenly Dongfang called Ouyang Miaoling.

"Ling'er, I have something to say to you alone. Can you give me half a quarter of an hour?"

“No…” Nangong Mingxuan refused.

"I'm talking to Ling'er. There's no reason for you to refuse on her behalf."

"Ling'er, you are my regent princess, so why don't I have a say?"

As the two were talking, they were about to have a quarrel, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

"Alright... stop arguing. Nangong Mingxuan, go wait for me in the carriage. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and Dongfang followed quickly.

Walking to an empty grassland, Ouyang Miaoling stopped, turned around and looked at Dongfang and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

"I... Ling'er, I don't know where to start."

"I don't know, don't tell me, I'm leaving."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. When she passed by Dongfang, Dongfang reached out and grabbed the arm of the woman who was about to leave.

"Ling'er... I know that I am no longer qualified to stand by your side. What I want to say today is the true feelings that I have suppressed in my heart for a long time."

"Ling'er... I love you. Ever since you ran away from your marriage outside the imperial capital, I saw you for the first time and I fell in love with you."

"Later, because you wanted revenge, you became enemies with my Xuanming Sect. When I saw you again, I was delighted. So I used a trick to get close to you, hoping that one day I could impress you and truly enter your heart."

"Brother Dongfang, please allow me to call you this for the last time."

"We were on our way to the memorial service for Sifan. Do you think it's appropriate for you to tell me this?"

"After all, there is no destiny between you and me. Sifan and you have an unborn child. Don't you feel sorry for them?"

"I can't pretend this never happened and still be with you, enjoying the flowers and the moon. My conscience will hurt if I do that."

"I know that saying this in front of you now is a bit of a moral kidnapping. Sifan is just wishful thinking, and you are also a victim."

"Even so, I still cannot accept your feelings. After all, there really is a Sifan between us, a girl who lives for love and dies for love."

After listening to Ouyang Miaoling's words, Dongfang fell into silence.

Yes, after all, between him and Sifan, he had caused substantial harm to the woman in front of him. How could she force her to forgive him easily?

"Ling'er... then can I be Yi'er's adoptive father?"

Dongfang asked this question carefully, fearing that she would reject it, and then waited for the answer with anticipation.

"Of course... you will always be Yi'er's adoptive father, this is the only way between us."

After hearing what Ouyang Miaoling said, Dongfang finally felt relieved after feeling the pain in his throat.

He will still have an excuse to get close to his Ling'er in the future, and there may still be a chance between them.

Dongfang was thinking about all this in his mind, but Ouyang Miaoling was unaware of it.

"It's getting late, let's go"

After Ouyang Miaoling finished speaking, she turned around and walked away. Dongfang quickly turned around and followed.

Returning to where the carriage was waiting, Ouyang Miaoling got into the carriage without even looking back.

Dongfang looked at the place where the carriage left with a look of disappointment.

He felt regretful silently, but deep down, he would not give up.

In the carriage, Ouyang Miaoling was sleeping lightly, but Nangong Mingxuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
