I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Situ Xuan swallowed her saliva and looked at Mingchuan's nonchalant appearance, and a strange feeling flashed through her mind.

She coughed and tried to move away from Mingchuan again.

This time, Mingchuan did not continue to hold her forcibly like before, but let go directly.

The surroundings suddenly became empty, and Situ Xuan's face flashed with surprise, and she was still a little uncomfortable...

Except, there is a little bit of loss...

Mingchuan in front of him seemed fine and didn't feel anything at all.

Situ Xuan lowered her head, suppressed the panic on her face, and said in a deep voice: "Whatever you want, I can give it to you within my ability."

Feeling Mingchuan's fiery gaze, she quickly spoke with pretended calmness.

"Except...except getting married, everything else is up to you."

"Oh? Really? It's all up to me?" Mingchuan approached, his tone frivolous, "Then... is that okay?"

"no!!"

Situ Xuan seemed to be afraid that she would hear something she shouldn't hear. Her heart trembled and she blurted out the words quickly.

But when she looked up, she saw Mingchuan looking at her with a playful expression.

"Miss Situ, you're a little insincere, aren't you? I haven't even told you what it is, and you've already rejected it. I'm so sad."

"you……"

Situ Xuan gritted her teeth, "You did it on purpose!"

Mingchuan shrugged innocently: "What's wrong with me? I'm a simple-minded person. It's you who's imagining things, Miss Situ."

Situ Xuan: ...

She realized.

There's no point in reasoning with the man in front of me.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down again.

"General Ming, there's no need to tease me anymore. It's not fun at all. Thank you so much for today. If you need me later, just let me know."

"As for today's meal, let's forget about it. I will explain to the king that it was my fault."

After saying that, this time, Situ Xuan did not give Mingchuan any chance. She disappeared from Mingchuan's sight like a fluttering butterfly.

Mingchuan didn't try to keep her. He smiled and said to her back, "Bye, Miss Situ. Let's eat next time when you're ready."

As soon as she finished speaking, Situ Xuan fled the scene as if there was a fierce ghost chasing her. In a short while, she disappeared from Mingchuan's sight.

Mingchuan folded his arms and smiled at her.

He muttered to himself, "This woman is quite interesting. She's playing hard to get, and she's doing it in such a novel way."

After Mingchuan finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the room where he had previously played games with his brothers.

Situ Xuan waited not far away after Mingchuan left, and only when she was sure that Mingchuan could no longer see her did she dare to find a wall to lean against.

The wall barely held her body steady, and she took a few deep breaths, but couldn't suppress the throbbing in her heart.

Situ Xuan lowered her head, looking at her chest rising and falling, thinking of the scene when the two of them were close together just now...

Bang bang, bang bang...

She could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

"No...something's wrong..." Situ Xuan shook her head, trying to get rid of the feeling just now.

She took a long breath with a grim expression before she finally calmed herself down.

Coincidentally, the car under her command drove in front of her.

Situ Xuan got into the car absentmindedly.

The car sped away, leaving the area quickly...

……

at the same time.

the other side.

In the king's back garden, he and Ye Yan sat opposite each other playing chess. He casually pressed down the chess piece in his hand, and was in a very good mood with a smile on his face.

"Ye Yan, you lost again."

Ye Yan cupped his hands and said modestly, "The Lord is powerful, and it is I who am too foolish."

"Hahaha..." The king laughed and patted Ye Yan's shoulder.

"Why are you so stupid? If you were stupid, there would be no smart people in this world!"

Seeing Ye Yan's apologetic smile, he sighed, took a sip of the tea beside him, and said with emotion: "Your boy was always fine before and could get along with everyone. Why is it that he just can't do it with Xiaoxuan?"

"Just now, I received a message saying that their date today was canceled again."

"You said these two children, really..."

The king shook his head helplessly, but his smile did not contain any blame, but was full of doting.

Ye Yan said softly, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about them. Everyone has their own destiny. If they are destined to be together, they will eventually be able to get together."

"Hahaha..." The King laughed three times, "I think it's difficult. Your disciple has no thoughts about these things now, and Xiaoxuan is a stubborn person, very cold and arrogant. If I hadn't brought them together, they wouldn't even know each other now!"

Ye Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord."

"Oh..." The king sipped his tea and felt uncomfortable looking at Ye Yan's perfunctory expression.

The two of them sat together in silence for a long time, and then the king sighed.

"Ye Yan, you've worked so hard running around for me these years. What do you want to do next? How about staying by my side and keeping me company, a lonely man like me?"

The king just said this, and Ye Yan just listened to it.

Don't take it seriously.

Ye Yan feigned distress and pondered for a moment before shaking his head in worry. "Lord, the external crisis facing our country has not yet been resolved. Now is not the time for us to rest."

"I don't want to live in seclusion in the mountains, nor do I want to enjoy the joy of being surrounded by children and grandchildren by Mingchuan's side. Moreover... I don't deserve to enjoy the tranquility beside you."

"Ye Yan hopes that you will send me to a useful place so that I can continue to do my best for the country."

King: ...

He looked at Ye Yan in silence for a long time, his expression tense and full of disapproval.

"You're already this old, why are you still working so hard? Your apprentice certainly doesn't want you to be like this, right?"

"Stop it."

Ye Yan bowed and said, "Xiaochuan is a sensible child. He will definitely understand my difficulties."

Having said this, he paused, raised his head, and looked at the king sincerely.

"I hope to go to Department Y first to help him lay the groundwork, so that when he comes, it will be much easier."

The King looked at Ye Yan's serious expression and sighed, "Is this really okay for you? Does the child want you to do this?"

"You went to the prison before to lay a foundation for him, and it's the same now."

"Mingchuan is a very capable kid. He no longer needs you to sacrifice for him like this."

"If I just let you go like this, this kid will end up hating me!"

When Ye Yan heard this, he quickly said, "Absolutely not! Xiaochuan would never do such a thing!"

Ye Yan's eyes were firm, and his trust in his disciple was 100%.

However, the king still shook his head.

"No, you've just recovered and can't stand the torture. I can't let that kid hate me."

"Lord...I really..."

Just when Ye Yan wanted to persuade the king again, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Lord is right! Master, you have just recovered and cannot go out!"
