When Xie Jinglan saw his expression, she knew that something had made him unhappy again.

Remembering that Princess Yuzhu lived in the palace, could it be that the woman had gone to look for him again?

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't ask. I brought him a cup of tea and asked, "Are you facing any troubles?"

"No, it's just that some people are too greedy!" Beitang Yuan's eyes were full of disgust.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Xie Jinglan didn't ask any more questions and sat down to drink tea with him.

He is the prince, and what worries him must be the affairs of the court. It is difficult for her to say anything, right?

After finishing his cup of tea, Beitang Yuan spoke again, "I knew that the envoys from these two countries coming to visit at this time must have bad intentions."

"Could it be that the envoy from Nanyang Kingdom has made some excessive demands again?" Xie Jinglan thought. It has been several days since the incident at the palace banquet, but this guy is still so angry. Could it be that Beitang Hui, who stayed here, has caused some trouble again?

"Hmm." Beitang Yuan looked at her for a long time before saying, "Lan'er, I'm actually not that interested in the position of Crown Prince. I've long wanted to leave this vortex and follow my master to roam the world, but the Empress Dowager disagreed, so I've been holding on to the title of Crown Prince.

But now that I've met you, and with what's happened recently, I feel like there are some things I still have to fight for."

"There are too many disappointments in this world. You were born in an imperial family, and you are destined to bear too much from birth. You can't do whatever you want. You will get used to it over time." Xie Jinglan comforted him.

She knew that his heart wasn't in the court, otherwise he wouldn't have developed such a wild and unruly character who did things as he pleased. "Even if you don't want to be the crown prince, people's hearts are unpredictable. Even if you give up everything, some people may not let you go."

Her words, which hinted at something, made Beitang Yuan's expression even darker.

"I will try my best to help you." Xie Jinglan said again.

"Lan'er, are you willing to stand by me for the rest of your life?" Beitang Yuan's eyes sparkled as he held her hand.

"I am now your future Crown Princess. In the eyes of others, everything in the Xie family is tied to you, the Crown Prince. Is there any other way out if I don't stand by you?" Xie Jinglan understood the meaning of his words and did not answer him directly.

Human life is too long and people's hearts are fickle. She doesn't want to experience the tragic fate of her previous life again.

Her sincere devotion to Beitang Hong was rewarded with endless pain and betrayal, and she was trampled and harmed by others. The pain and despair before her death are still vivid in her mind.

She swore that she would never open her heart so easily again, for fear of repeating the mistakes of her previous life and facing another nightmare from which there would be no escape.

But no matter what happens to them in the future, she will not let Beitang Yuan get into trouble.

"Lan'er, I know you still don't believe me, but I still hope you can give me a chance." Beitang Yuan's eyes dimmed. Although she was a little disappointed, she was at least on his side.

It is said that time reveals a person's true character, and he will definitely let her see his true feelings.

"Lan'er, I will always wait for you, until the day you are willing to marry me."

"Don't wait any longer. I may never get married in my entire life. Once the curse on you is lifted, our engagement will be cancelled." Xie Jinglan has already made plans for the rest of her life.

After she has avenged her past life and helped Beitang Yuan stabilize the court, and the Xie family is no longer a threat, she wants to leave here.

"If you don't marry, then I won't marry either. I will just wait for you."

Beitang Yuan said this with a serious expression, "Don't say anything like, 'I'm the Crown Prince and I can't marry.' Lan'er, I've been thinking a lot lately. If I can't even decide my own marriage as the Crown Prince, or even the Emperor, then what's the point of being the Crown Prince or Emperor?"

Don't tell me about family, country, and the world, or that marrying a concubine is to stabilize the court? That's all bullshit, it's just an excuse for your own incompetence."

Xie Jinglan looked at him with complicated eyes, unable to bear to say any more cruel words, "Then let's talk about it when the time comes!"

"Okay." A smile finally appeared at the corner of Beitang Yuan's lips.

"Tell me! What do you want from me?" It's impossible that he came to her just to say these words.

Hearing this, the smile on Beitang Yuan's face disappeared and his aura turned cold.

"The eldest princess came to see me and said that her health was not good. The Nanyang Emperor wanted to make an elixir of immortality and wanted to take a bottle of your blood, but I refused on the spot."

Damn it, Xie Jinglan really wanted to curse and swear.

“So this is the real purpose of their visit.”

"I won't give it to her, Lan'er. No one can hurt you." Beitang Yuan promised her.

"I'm afraid she won't give up so easily." Xie Jinglan felt that she had seen many of the most shameless people, and Beitang Hui was one of them, and he was so blatant. He was simply a shameless and shameless robber.

Knowing that she was already Beitang Yuan's fiancée and that she had brought a princess of the Sea King to snatch her husband away from her, she openly demoted her to a concubine in the hall, and said it so naturally that if you didn't know, you would think that the Yuyong Kingdom was also in her pocket.

Since she has done such a thing, how can she still have the nerve to say that she wants her blood to cure diseases and make pills?

Beitang Hui did this to insult her and trample on the dignity of their Xie family.

Although she had no romantic feelings for Beitang Yuan, she would never allow this woman to bully her.

"Master, it's not hard to understand. This princess is used to being in a high position. Her every word and every request is immediately delivered to her. She thinks her request for your blood is just a simple request, and you unconditionally have to give her a bowl of it. She even thinks it's a matter of course," said Xiao Jinzi.

She took it for granted, but not everyone would pay for her unconditionally. Xie Jinglan felt that these princes and princesses had a common problem: they were self-righteous, high-handed, arrogant, and domineering.

"I thought so too, so I told the Imperial Grandmother about this. She got angry and ordered her to leave Yuyong Country." Beitang Yuan also knew that if Beitang Hui couldn't get blood, she might resort to force. "Before they leave, you all should be careful. If anything happens, send me a signal."

Beitang Hui relied on her status and thought that no one would dare to give her what she wanted. However, with the personalities of Xie Wanying and Xie Jinglan, they would never allow themselves to be bullied. When the time came, they would definitely fight, leading to hostility between the two countries.

"I understand." Xie Jinglan sneered in her heart. She was not even afraid of Empress Changsun, so how could she be afraid of a princess who married out? This sense of superiority that put her first should be brought back to their Nanyang Kingdom and displayed!
