Hidden in the court

Unable to figure it out, Yuchi Zheng gave up thinking about it and decided to ask Lana first.

Soon, he found Lana who was carrying a large bag outside. Although she looked tired, every step she took was steady.

The ruthless wind carried sand and soil, blowing lonely on the faces of everyone here. The figures weighed down by the burden looked even more fragile. Fortunately, the traces of life had not yet spread to her eyes.

Yuchi Zheng stepped forward and grabbed the bag by two corners.

"give it to me."

Lana found out it was Yuchi Zheng and quickly shook her head, "Thank you, Your Highness. No thanks. How can Your Highness do such a job?"

"It's okay. I'll help you finish your work. I have something to ask you."

In the end, Yuchi Zheng carried the big bag as he wished, but he did not take the bag off Lana, but carried the rest.

I have to say, the young man is very strong! He can carry two bags at a time and walk very fast. With his help, the work is done in a short time.

Pulling her aside, Yuchi Zheng looked at the girl again.

He was sure that the person he met at the Loulan Royal Court yesterday was not Lana, at least the skin color was different. He must have been mistaken.

"Lana, what did you want to talk to me about yesterday?"

Lana was startled, thinking she was recognized last night.

Just when she was about to admit her mistake and ask for forgiveness on the spot, Yuchi Zheng spoke again.

"Your Princess Loulan asked me to meet her yesterday, but she ran away without saying anything. I just saw your note this morning, so I wanted to ask you if you have something to talk to me about?"

Hearing that she was not exposed, Lana couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and changed the subject:

"Her Royal Highness must have something important to tell you. You should go find her."

Hearing this, Yuchi Zheng stole a glance at Lana.

"You are right. I will go find her and ask her to cancel the engagement."

Lana's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

Yuchi Zheng met her gaze with sincerity in his eyes.

"Lanna, you know what? I didn't really want to marry the princess of Loulan until I came here and met you. I became more determined. Your eyes are clearer than those of Lake Sailimu. You may not believe it, but when I saw you for the first time, I wanted you to be my bride. I will explain to Her Royal Highness the Princess..."

Even though Yuchi Zheng was pouring out his heart in front of her, Lana was already a little dazed.

Lana reacted and turned around and ran, and soon disappeared from Yuchi Zheng's sight.

Yuchi Zheng did not chase after them. He knew that he had to find the King of Loulan and the Princess today to make things clear. Otherwise, he himself would not know what to do, not to mention Lana.

……

"May I ask to see Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Faced with Yuchi Zheng's request, the King of Loulan had no choice but to send someone to ask them to come and pick up the bride. He had to let them see the bride.

After a while, Aiguli appeared in front of the two men, and Yuchi Zheng was dumbfounded.

This princess was the one he saw yesterday who looked extremely similar to Lana. Was there really such a strange thing in the world?

"I have met Her Highness the Princess."

Yuchi Zheng bowed, and Ayiguli also saw the rumored fiancé.

Indeed, he was a great man. But that was all. Apart from that, Ayiguli had no other special feelings.

"I have met His Highness the Prince."

After a moment of silence, Yuchi Zheng let out a long sigh and asked, "I wonder why Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted to see me last night, and why she left in a hurry without saying a word?"

After hearing this, Aiguli and the King of Loulan were both shocked.

Last night, Ayiguli originally planned to go out to look for Yuchi Zheng, but she was discovered and stopped by the King of Loulan, and she never went out. Now Yuchi Zheng said that he saw Ayiguli yesterday, what's going on?

Looking at the two people with strange expressions, Yuchi Zheng also looked puzzled.

Upon seeing this, the King of Loulan immediately explained: "Last night, Ayiguli wanted to go out to look for you, but I stopped her. So who was the person you met last night?"

Yuchi Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this. What? I haven’t been out? Did I encounter a ghost last night?

"Do you think about the appearance of the person you met last night?"

After the King of Loulan reminded him, Yuchi Zheng recalled carefully: "Last night, that man was wearing a hooded robe, and his figure was similar to that of the princess..."

Thinking of this, Yuchi Zheng realized that he did not see the person's face last night. He just naturally mistook her for Ayiguli. In addition, because he was drunk yesterday, this memory was less credible.

"This……"

The three of them fell silent at the same time. What was going on?

Suddenly, Yuchi Zheng thought of Lana. Lana gave him a note yesterday, also asking him out. Could that person yesterday be Lana?

Lana asked him out, but she mistook him for the princess, so Lana ran away without saying a word.

It makes sense when you think about it this way. Yuchi Zheng thought about what she had said to Lana today and why did she feel her face getting hot?

Yuchi Zheng spoke slowly and earnestly:

"Your Excellency the King of Loulan, Your Highness the Princess, I am here today to explain something."

The King of Loulan always felt that something was wrong, but Ayiguli had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Your Highness the Princess and I have never met before. It is not my wish to marry each other. I beg Loulan and Yutian to cancel the engagement."

Hearing this, the King of Loulan felt dizzy. What is going on? Did you two collude with each other? One doesn't want to get married, and the other doesn't want to get married.

Unlike him, Aiguli's eyes lit up and the words "I agree" almost came out of her mouth.

"But His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't like my daughter?"

The King of Loulan was puzzled. My daughter is the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions after all! You two are pushing her around.

"To be honest with you two, I already have someone in my heart. Please, Princess, please help me."

Yuchi Zheng's face was full of longing, which made the King of Loulan feel sorry for his daughter.

"May I ask who the prince is?"

But Aiguli asked with interest.

"Oh, by the way, she looks very much like the princess. She is a maid in the hotel where I live. Her name is Lana. Her eyes are like the water of Sayram Lake..."

At this time, Yuchi Zheng was introducing his sweetheart like a silly boy. Ayiguli was very excited, but the King of Loulan seemed to have remembered something bad and remained silent.

"Please help us, Yutian will give Loulan a satisfactory answer."

Just as Yuchi Zheng finished speaking, Ayiguli also said: "I agree, and I also..."

Before she could finish, the King of Loulan, who had been silent for a while, asked, "Where is the girl you mentioned now?"

"Well, she should be near the hotel. Even though she's avoiding me, she won't leave."

Yuchi Zheng replied in confusion.

Ayiguli also looked over, not understanding why her father was interested in this girl.
