The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

It wasn't until Lin Yuan was about to put it on the table beside him that he reached out to take the painting and asked, "Are you interested in A-Li?"

Lin Yuan suddenly frowned.

He subconsciously recalled when he had expressed his feelings for the young lady in front of the prince.

He soon thought that he was a little too eager when he took the young lady away. Even the young lady casually asked him if he was leaving in such a hurry because he was afraid that the prince would change his mind and take back the martial arts secrets. The prince must have noticed something wrong.

Although the prince always said that he regarded the young lady as his sister, the dark room where he kept his martial arts secrets was covered with carefully framed portraits of the young lady. These portraits were of the young lady at different ages from her childhood to the present. It was possible that he liked the young lady!

Thinking of this, he heard the prince ask him again "yes or no", and for some unknown reason he answered yes.

He secretly felt regretful after agreeing.

Given his status, and the fact that he was facing the Crown Prince, whom he was not very familiar with, he should not and did not need to admit it!

Who knows how the prince will deal with his love rival!

Although he is not afraid, it would be bad if he brings any trouble to the young lady!

Who would have thought that after hearing his answer, the prince looked him up and down.

Then, when his eyebrows were twisted so tightly that they looked like they could pinch a fly to death, he suddenly said, "Those portraits of Ah Li in my darkroom were not painted by me, but by Aunt Ah Zhi."

Lin Yuan was silent.

It was only later that I realized that the prince could guess that he was interested in the young lady from the eagerness he showed when he took the young lady away, so it was naturally impossible not to guess why he was so eager.

But why did the prince explain to him?

And the owner has clearly passed away for more than ten years!

At this time, Yin Hengyou sighed softly and said, "Although I already know that you are the type to keep silent in front of everyone except A-Li, if you remain silent now, you will definitely regret it in the future, because I might change my mind tomorrow."

Lin Yuan then bowed and said, "Please explain clearly, Your Highness."

"A-Li is very smart. I can see that you are interested in her. It is impossible that she hasn't seen it yet. But not only did she keep you by her side, she also didn't reject your touch at all. It shows that she also has feelings for you..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood Miss. Although Miss has long seen my feelings for her, she seems to think that my feelings for her are just an illusion caused by Sanniang's brainwashing since childhood. She doesn't take it to heart at all. That's why she has never let me stay away from her. As for touching, I have only hugged Miss a few times when necessary! I have never done anything beyond that!"

"You're quite talkative when it comes to Ali, but why are you so excited? You're her secret guard, so it's your duty to hold her when necessary. Or have you ever done anything inappropriate to Ali behind her back?"

"no!"

Lin Yuan answered very quickly and loudly, but he felt a little guilty.

He once touched the young lady while she was sleeping.

Even if it was just to smooth out the wrinkles between the young lady's eyebrows...

And he obviously did not deceive Yin Hengyou.

Yin Hengyou looked at him with a knowing expression and asked, "No matter what, your feelings for Ali must be genuine, right?"

"……Yes."

"Then you should let Ali know that your feelings for her are genuine and not just brainwashed, and see how Ali reacts."

"Why would I do that?"

"I won't hide it from you. I've been unhappy with Ning Jin for a long time. I want to see how he'll regret it after A-Li transfers his affections to someone else."

"..."

Lin Yuan had a hunch that Yin Hengyou was deceiving him.

Based on what he knew about Yin Hengyou's style of doing things, it was impossible for Yin Hengyou to ask him to test the lady for such a childish reason.

He thought about it for a while and then agreed, "I'll do it."

"Very good, this way, I don't have to arrange for other people to get close to Ali!"

"..."

Lin Yuan secretly clenched his fists.

The lady hasn’t divorced yet!

The prince was eager to act as a matchmaker for the young lady!

Maybe he took the wrong medicine and acted rashly because of a brain storm. Is there any hidden reason?

But Yin Hengyou said to him seriously, "You and I know this, and we must not let anyone else know, especially Ali! Otherwise, if you ruin my plans and cause Ali to get into trouble in the future, I will never let you go. You should know that I am different from those good-for-nothings under the Emperor's command. I know your skills very well, and there are ways to deal with you!"

In other words, the prince not only knew what had happened in Fengyi Palace before, but also knew that the little thief who had made the current emperor furious several times was him?

Then the Crown Prince should have known that the fake Queen in Fengyi Palace was caused by the young lady in her previous coma, right?

Lin Yuan temporarily believed that Yin Hengyou had another reason for asking him to test their young lady, and immediately decided to arrange someone to investigate thoroughly.

Then he asked, "Is the portrait of the young lady in the darkroom really painted by the master?"

"Yes, it was during the time when she was teaching me martial arts. She said she could draw a person's appearance at every age in their future life based on their childhood. I didn't believe her, so she started drawing from when Ali was five years old, but when she got to when Ali was twenty years old, she suddenly stopped..."

At the end of his words, Yin Hengyou fell silent as if thinking about something.

He had never thought about this before.

Every time I compare A Li with the one in the painting, I sigh that Aunt A Zhi is really amazing.

But now that I think about it...

I’m afraid that after she turns 20, Ali will encounter many hardships, and her beauty and health may no longer exist!

Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to see the painting in his hand very urgently, so he said to Lin Yuan: "You can go now. Come see me again after you know Ali's reaction."

Lin Yuan nodded.

After turning around, I heard Yin Hengyou say, "Don't make me wait too long."

"Ah."

Lin Yuan responded perfunctorily and then disappeared.

Yin Hengyou immediately unfolded the drawing paper in his hand.

The first picture that caught my eye was Murong Yunchu lying lifeless in the coffin.

He unconsciously held his breath and stared at the drawing paper for a moment, until a secret guard appeared out of concern and knelt in front of him and called out "Your Highness" in a loud voice. Only then did he come to his senses and take a deep breath.

Then he looked at the remaining paintings one by one with shaking hands.

After finishing the work, he rolled up the painting and sat there in silence for most of the night.

In the middle of the night, he finally calmed down. After throwing all the paintings into the charcoal basin and burning them, he was about to go and wake Helian Feng and return to the East Palace immediately after the conversation when a secret guard came hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor went to the palace of the Concubine Xian last night after a long absence. After the Emperor left, the Concubine Xian asked people to prepare sacrificial supplies, saying that they would go to worship General Li's wife tomorrow."

Yin Hengyou's face darkened.

In the past, Concubine Xian had some friendship with Aunt Azhi.

But after Aunt Azhi passed away, Concubine Xian never went to pay her respects once.

Now she suddenly wants to go to worship, I’m afraid it has something to do with the fact that my father went to her palace tonight!

And the emperor must have already known from the people in the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion that Ali is going to pay homage to Aunt Azhi tomorrow!

But the emperor's wishful thinking this time was wrong. The virtuous concubine, who has never been competitive, has her own little plan!
