A sweet story about traveling into the world of beasts, killing the heroine and becoming the next in

The powerful orcs are full of treasures, and Lan Ning has now witnessed it.

Xuan Heng helped her get up and wash, and she looked at her face carefully in the mirror.

Compared to yesterday, the facial features are now well highlighted, and those light brown marks cannot conceal the spirit between the eyebrows, the upturned nose and the cherry lips. There is only a dark brown mark across the face, which looks a bit scary at first glance.

With a face like this, there isn't much that can be seen as good looking.

It’s just that some people have unique aesthetics, like Xuan Heng. After his favorability is full, he likes to stick to her and wants to do everything himself.

"She's getting more and more beautiful." Xuan Heng didn't think the scar affected Lan Ning's beauty at all. Perhaps it was because a lover's eyes see beauty in everything. Instead, he felt that Lan Ning would be noticed if she went out like this.

Xuan Heng hugged her and kissed her gently, holding her hand and covering his face. His golden eyes were full of tender affection, softening his naturally cold face.

"Xiaoguai, you have to remember that I am yours now, and you have to protect me."

It has always been the strong who protect the weak. Xuan Heng's display of weakness is also unique. Who in the whole Wanjing dares to force him? Who dares to hurt him?

Lan Ning felt that he was the one who needed protection.

"Why aren't you talking?" Xuan Heng didn't get an answer, so he became aggressive again and pinched her chin to make her look at him.

Lan Ning blinked and answered honestly, "Okay, I will work hard to learn government affairs and magic from now on."

Her cute little appearance made Xuan Heng laugh.

"It's time for us to go to court." Xuan Heng couldn't wait to tell everyone in the world about their happy marriage.

-

The Qinzheng Hall of the Royal Palace.

Lan Ning and Xuan Heng arrived a little later today. When they stood at the palace entrance, the court officials inside were all sitting in their seats, waiting for the empress in an orderly manner.

Hearing the eunuch's loud shout, they all turned back to pay their respects.

When everyone present sensed the strong smell of snake ooze emanating from Lan Ning, their faces changed.

Xuan Mo had anticipated that they would have a relationship. He knew from the beginning that Xuan Heng had fallen in love with Lan Ning, but when he really felt the scent of another man on Lan Ning, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

The tenacious little princess got her first husband in her life.

not him.

Xuan Mo suddenly understood the source of his discomfort. He found that he seemed to be jealous of Xuan Heng, but he didn't know when it started.

Xuan Mo lowered his eyes and thought, would he become the second husband chosen by Lan Ning?

Jing Ye also had the same idea. He was even more taciturn than Xuan Heng. He stared silently at Lan Ning's slender back, and a rare hint of persistence flashed in his silver eyes.

Jing Ye always felt that he was just a subordinate, and was only fit to protect Wan Jing's safety in this life. If he had not met Lan Ning, if he had not felt the aura of another man on her.

He would never realize that he still had such feelings for Lan Ning.

Lan Ning is gentle to everyone, even to the little wolf who hurt her. Could she also be a little gentle to him? He doesn't ask for anything else, as long as Lan Ning is willing to keep him by her side.

But how should he do it?

Jingye was in deep thought.

[Xuan Mo's favorability +2, total favorability: 37. ]

[Jing Ye's favorability +5, total favorability: 40. ]

When the empress went to court, she also keenly sensed the scent on Lan Ning, which came from Xuan Heng.

Lan Ning's body was not well yet, how could she bear the consequences? Could it be that Xuan Heng was deliberately bullying her? The empress was quite dissatisfied and warned Xuan Heng with her eyes.

The latter was in high spirits, smiling at the empress's warning, pretending he could not see it.

When Lan Ning was able to attend court, the empress was thinking about whether she could let her return to the palace to live. After all, it was inconvenient for an unmarried princess to always live in the Regent's Palace, and Xuan Heng was a deep-minded person and was not suitable for Lan Ning.

Unexpectedly, just by carelessness, her well-behaved daughter, who had just returned to his side, was taken away by Xuan Heng.

The empress took a deep breath. Even though she was dissatisfied in her heart, she knew that she could not lose face in front of so many court officials, so she could not help but pay more attention to this side.

After finally waiting for the court to be dismissed, the empress forced herself to stay for a while.

The empress always felt guilty towards Lan Ning. She knew that she could no longer give Lan Ning justice, so she had to compensate him in other ways.

"What do you want?" Lan Ning asked coldly.

The empress was heartbroken by her indifference. She raised her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the Qinzheng Hall. Xuan Heng was still standing there waiting for Lan Ning.

"I know that you have special feelings for the Regent." The empress sighed, "But, you are the princess of Wanjing, you will not have only one husband. There are many young talents with outstanding abilities in the court. Do you like any of them?"

The empress has been thinking a lot these days.

Her health was getting worse day by day, and the days ahead would be a struggle between Furou and Lan Ning. She didn't want Furou to take this position, so it would be better for her to put all her hopes on Lan Ning.

"Right Minister Xuan Mo, and General Zhenguo Jing Ye, neither of them has been engaged. Are you interested?" the empress asked cautiously.

Lan Ning couldn't help but frown. "I already have a prince, so I don't need another husband. If you force me to accept them in the name of the princess, I don't have to be the princess anymore."

The empress's face turned pale when she heard this. "No, that's not what I meant. I can see that they both have feelings for you. I won't force you."

She sighed, "Well, go back."

Watching Lan Ning leave, the empress looked at Bian Zhao helplessly, "Are you assured about Xuan Heng?"

Bian Zhao was also somewhat helpless. He wanted to say that he was worried, but everyone had seen how Lan Ning had been living in the Regent's Palace during this period, and Xuan Heng was indeed very good to his daughter.

As a result, he was unable to bring Lan Ning and Xuan Mo together.

"She has to attend court now anyway, so why not arrange for them to work together more often?" said the empress.

-

The next day, after the court was dismissed, Lan Ning was kept in the palace by the empress to handle official business with Xuan Mo and others.

The rear hall of the Qinzheng Hall is where court officials and noble soldiers assist the empress in handling state affairs. Today, the puppet palace maids filled in another stool.

"Wan Jing, the government affairs in the court are so complicated, it is better for you to follow Lord Xuan and familiarize yourself with the memorials first." The puppet palace maid repeated the empress's words.

So Lan Ning sat next to Xuan Mo and watched him review memorials obediently.

Xuan Mo did not expect Lan Ning to be able to help, so he asked the puppet maid to bring paper and pen and spread them on the table, "Your Highness, please practice your handwriting. After I finish reading these memorials, I will slowly explain them to you."

Lan Ning nodded. She did not object to Xuan Mo's arrangement. "Okay."

And Xuan Heng, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, kept his eyes on Xuan Mo.

Xuan Heng knew that he would not be the only one by Lan Ning's side, but he wanted to select the men who could stay by Lan Ning's side. It would be best if they were like Xuan Mo, who was sickly but obsessed with world peace.

I won't compete with him for Lan Ning's heart.

Xuan Heng withdrew his gaze from the pile of memorials in front of him and began his busy work for the day.

But he couldn't help but look at Jing Ye who was standing beside him.
