In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Li Huaijin's eyes were slightly cold, his gaze was as deep as a wolf, he suppressed the jealousy in his heart and said:

"That day when Li Heng asked His Majesty for a marriage, you could clearly say that you had a crush on me, but you said you were engaged to Nangong Yu."

"I really don't know why you listen to him so much?"

Mu Jinan broke free from his hand, listened to the bell, looked panicked, and said anxiously:

"The palace gates are about to be locked, let's leave the palace first"

Li Huaijin pulled her with his large hand and held her in his arms, pressing his slender fingers on her back, his tone mixed with a bit of possession and dominance:

"Don't go out. I will stay here with you tonight. I won't do anything but hug you and just look at you."

His movement was quite loud and he accidentally bumped into the pile of papers, causing them to scatter into pieces, with a few of them being blown out of the hall by the wind.

Mu Jinan struggled and said, "Let me go...let me go...are you crazy today?"

Li Huaijin looked aggrieved and sad, hugged her tightly, and said in a low voice:

"I'm crazy, thinking about you so much that I'm going crazy"

The setting sun glowed like flames, filling the sky above Chaoying Palace, gorgeous and beautiful.

Li Huaijin's body was fragrant and a little hot, and it was pressed tightly against Mu Jinan's chest.

He endured the pain in his heart, but Mu Jinan didn't notice.

Mu Jinan was hugged too tightly by him, and it was hard for her to breathe. Her face turned red, and she cursed in a low voice:

"Li Huaijin, be gentle, you're hurting me"

The two people's hearts seemed to be separated by only a layer of paper, and they kept beating non-stop.

Li Huaijin let go of her slightly, a hint of pride appeared in his bright eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said:

"I heard your heartbeat. You still have some feelings for me. Now we just need to cultivate our relationship and get along with each other."

Mu Jinan tried his best to control himself and calm himself down, not letting himself get emotional. It would be bad if Nangong Yu felt it.

She suddenly felt that Li Huaijin was like a child, and said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, if a person's heart stops beating, then he is dead."

Her slender and delicate fist pressed against his chest, and Li Huaijin lowered his voice and said:

"Even if one day my heart stops beating, I will still only love you."

Mu Jinan pushed him away with all his strength, there was nothing he could do to him, so he quickly said:

"Don't say such unlucky words. Knock on the corner of the table three times. Then say 'Pah, pah, pah' and the bad luck will go away."

Li Huaijin had no choice but to do as he was told. The corner of the table made three "Pah, pah, pah" sounds.

Mu Jinan was curious and joking:

"My Lord, have you burned incense today?"

Li Huaijin turned his face to the side, his ears were a little red, and his fingertips lightly rested on the belt.

He specially bathed, burned incense, and changed into a purple gauze gown today before coming to see Mu Jinan. He pretended to be calm and said:

"I am a grown man, why would I burn incense? Those are only liked by women."

Mu Jinan saw through it but didn't say anything. He just laughed and said:

"Okay, big man," he bent down to pick up the papers that had fallen on the ground.

Just a few words seemed to arouse Li Huaijin's inner desire.

He leaned over, his clear jawline trembling slightly with his deep voice, and his gentle eyes added a bit of depth:

"Jin'an, can you try to trust me? And give me a chance to do something for you?"

"I know you just want to rely on your own strength, even...even if it's just to make something you like to eat and play?"

Mu Jinan's fingertips holding the paper trembled slightly. She had always been curious about why Hu Yulou redeemed herself when they first met.

Obviously he is not a man obsessed with beauty.

And why do you say "I'm sorry" when you are in a nightmare?

She continued to pick up the papers on the ground, trying to test it out:

"Your Highness, is this the first time we meet, Hu Yulou? Has Your Highness ever seen me before?"

Li Huaijin's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes flickered, hiding his panic, while picking up the paper on the ground, he smiled calmly and said:

"Of course not"

Mu Jinan smiled, her charming peach blossom eyes made it hard to tell what she was thinking at the moment. She smiled and said:

"The prince is so attentive. If you don't know, you might think that the prince owed me something."

Li Huaijin's fingers touched his ears unintentionally, and he pursed his lips to hide his panic.

"Of course not"

Mu Jinan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and saw that he was not as calm and relaxed as usual, and he became suspicious.

Li Huaijin hurriedly packed up his documents and account books, wanting to leave quickly.

He just wanted to scare Mu Jinan. If a single man and a single woman stayed in the palace overnight, people would definitely talk about them. How could he let her reputation be damaged?

Mu Jinan wanted to ask more questions, but was worried that he would not be able to leave the palace, so he put down the account book in his hand and said softly:

"Your Majesty, we will sort these out tomorrow. Let's go out first."

Li Huaijin nodded and said, "Yes."

Outside the Chaoying Palace, Mu Jinan looked at the sunset glow in the sky, feeling very happy, and said casually:

"I have been so busy with official duties recently that I forgot to look up and see the beautiful scenery on earth."

Her bright eyes were filled with joy, but a hint of sadness appeared in them, and she said regretfully:

"The sunset is so beautiful, but it is almost dusk"

Li Huaijin lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes full of tenderness, and he said softly:

“Although beauty is short-lived, as long as that moment can be remembered and engraved in people’s hearts, it will be eternal.”

As Mu Jinan walked out of the palace, he sighed:

"You have never been to Xuanzhou. When the autumn rains continue, it is like a painting of Jiangnan. In the evening of midsummer, bamboo rafts float on the lake, and the gorgeous morning glow is reflected on the lake."

"It is just like the saying that the setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color, it seems like a beautiful fairyland on earth."

Li Huaijin turned his face sideways:

“Do you like Xuanzhou very much?”

Mu Jinan laughed happily and said:

“I grew up there, so I naturally like my hometown.”

Li Huaijin asked her doubtfully: "But Chang'an is your hometown?"

Mu Jinan felt bitter in her heart. She paused for a moment and said softly:

"No, Xuanzhou is my hometown because I have a cousin there."

Li Huaijin saw that her brows were furrowed and her eyes were filled with a hint of sadness, so he didn't ask any more questions.

She lost her mother when she was young, and her father was away from Chang'an for a long time. She spent more time in Xuanzhou than in Chang'an, so naturally she liked Xuanzhou more.

Li Huaijin felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help asking:

"Then will you return to Xuanzhou?"

Mu Jinan sighed, then gradually became cheerful again, and said with a smile:

"When everything is settled, I will go back."

"Ding...Ding." The bell sounds more and more urgent, Mu Jinan said anxiously:

"Oh no, the palace gates are about to close, let's go quickly"

Li Huaijin stopped. He had never thought that they would be separated. He quickly asked:

"what about me?"

Mu Jinan looked back at him and said puzzledly:

"You what?"

Li Huaijin moved closer to Mu Jinan, his thick eyebrows showing a hint of reluctance:

"Are you going to leave me alone?"

Mu Jinan turned his head away and said evasively:

“You’re not a child.”

Li Huaijin pursed his lips and spoke his true feelings. As long as she was willing to take him with her, he could let go of everything. He flicked his sleeves and smiled, saying:

"If you return to Xuanzhou, I will go with you"

Mu Jinan asked casually, also wanting to know what he was thinking: "So you don't want to be a prince anymore?"
