I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

There was an irrepressible excitement in her voice, as if the name was the most important sound in her life.

Although Lin Yan ate and drank and behaved well in front of Zhao Yuan, only she knew that whenever it was late at night and she was alone, Li Yiyuan's figure would always pop up inadvertently.

It’s strange to say, although they didn’t spend much time together, she just couldn’t forget him and was looking forward to his appearance one day.

Li Yiyuan finally stopped. He looked at the woman in front of him with a surprised smile: "It turned out to be Miss Lin. What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here again."

Lin Yan nodded shyly and said softly, "After receiving your letter a few days ago, I have been worried about your safety. Now that I see that you are safe and sound, I feel relieved." Her voice was gentle and kind, which made Li Yiyuan feel a little warm in his heart.

"I also accidentally heard that you were someone close to Prince Rui, so I rashly wrote a letter and asked someone to bring it to you. I was able to escape this time thanks to Miss Lin's help. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago." Li Yiyuan explained.

Lin Yan shook her head gently and said, "You're welcome."

Li Yiyuan explained gratefully: "When Japan thought they could make a fortune from beef, they didn't expect to be set up. Fortunately, you rescued them in time and they were able to escape."

Hearing this, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhao Yuan was a good person. "I'm glad you're okay."

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you for saving me." Li Yiyuan said in a firm tone, as if he was making a promise to Lin Yan.

"It's serious. Master Li has saved me several times, and I haven't had the chance to repay you yet!" The two men stood opposite each other, their eyes met, as if they had thousands of words to say, but didn't know where to start.

"Are you doing well?" Li Yiyuan asked with concern.

"It's okay." Lin Yan lowered her head, her voice a little shy.

"That's good. I feel relieved." Li Yiyuan's tone was full of care, and his eyes were gentle and warm. When he spoke, it seemed as if a peaceful power spread, making people feel at ease.

His smile was like a flower blooming in spring, exuding a warm breath. His voice was like the breeze, with a hint of comfort, making people feel happy.

"In a few days, I will return to the Loude Grocery Store in Beijing. If you want to leave him, I will definitely help you find a way." Li Yiyuan stared at Lin Yan and continued.

"Thank you! I will be back to Beijing soon!" Lin Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, and the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly raised. She originally thought that they had just passed each other, but she unexpectedly learned that Li Yiyuan and she were both from Beijing. This coincidence made her heart surge with joy, as if there was a tacit understanding and closeness between the two of them.

Lin Yan, who hated going back to Beijing, suddenly became excited. This anticipation made her heart beat fast and her cheeks flushed slightly.

The two looked at each other, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air. Li Yiyuan's eyes fell on her long black hair, and there was a gentleness in his eyes. At this moment, it seemed as if time had frozen, and only the breathing sounds of the two people were intertwined in the air.

.........

Li Yiyuan looked at the dense beads of sweat on Lin Yan's forehead and said with concern: "You are sweating all over, be careful not to catch a cold!" He gently took out a white handkerchief and carefully handed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan took the handkerchief somewhat embarrassedly, lowered her head slightly, and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Thank you!"

Her cheeks flushed, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, shy and charming.

Li Yiyuan's eyes fell on her long black hair, and there was a gentleness in his eyes. At this moment, it seemed as if time had frozen, with only the breathing sounds of the two people interweaving in the air.

Lin Yan raised her head and moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

In this brief silence, a subtle emotion flowed between the two people, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and soft.

The two walked side by side, chatting about interesting topics as they walked.

Good times are always short-lived. At this moment, Xiang Ling's voice was clear and loud, as if it could penetrate the whole world. "Master Lin, I finally found you."

Hearing this shout, Lin Yan turned around and looked with a happy smile on her face. At the same time, Li Yiyuan also noticed the person coming and knew that he could no longer accompany Lin Yan, so he could only say goodbye to her regretfully: "See you in Beijing!" After saying this, he turned and left, leaving Lin Yan with a receding back.

Lin Yan looked at the direction where Li Yiyuan was going, and an indescribable feeling of reluctance surged in her heart. She slowly waved the handkerchief in her hand, wanting to express her blessing and miss for him. However, at this moment, she completely forgot to return the handkerchief to its real owner.

Lin Yan came back to her senses only after Li Yiyuan disappeared from her sight. She sighed softly and turned to look at Xiang Ling beside her.

Xiang Ling looked at Lin Yan curiously and couldn't help asking, "Master Lin, who was the man who was talking to you just now?" Her eyes were full of questions, and she seemed to want to know the relationship between this man and Lin Yan.

"My former savior." Lin Yan responded with a hint of sadness, her thoughts lost in memories.

--------------

Zhao Yuan finally solved the case and returned to the post station. He vaguely saw Lin Yan sitting under the lamp, seemingly looking at a white handkerchief.

The oil lamp in the room was dim. When you first entered the room, it was pitch black for a moment. By the time you could see clearly, Lin Yan had quickly put away the handkerchief.

Lin Yan stood up sideways, and her curvy figure could be clearly seen from the shadow on the wall. She bowed gracefully and said softly, "My Lord, you are back."

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, and said with a teasing tone: "Do you miss me?"

However, Lin Yan did not respond to his question directly, but said lightly: "Your Highness, you have worked hard. I will go and get some water for you to wash up and relieve your fatigue." Her answer instantly cooled Zhao Yuan's originally hot heart.

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "Well! What were you doing just now?"

Lin Yan replied softly, "I wanted to learn embroidery, so I took a handkerchief to study it, just to kill time."

Zhao Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, hugged Lin Yan tightly in his arms, and then took out the handkerchief she had just put into her sleeve.

Lin Yan struggled slightly and said softly, "Your Highness, you haven't washed yet." After that, she gently broke free from Zhao Yuan's arms and walked out of the room.
