At this time, Nalan Qin returned to Prince Xiao's mansion, changed out of his nightgown, put on a white nightgown and sat in front of the mirror, a mocking smile on his lips, "You are really ignorant. With that kind of appearance, you dare to think that you can match the master."

She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes revealing a trace of fatigue and helplessness. Her delicate face looked a little pale in the candlelight, but it still couldn't hide her beauty.

Nalan Qin gently stroked her cheek, her mind racing. Thinking of Chen Mei's overconfident demeanor, her disgust intensified. "You don't even consider your own worth, yet you dare to covet something that doesn't belong to you," she muttered to herself.

Recalling everything that happened tonight, Nalan Qin couldn't help but shake her head. In order to protect her master's dignity, she risked her life to warn Chen Mei, but who could understand her loyalty?

When Nalan Qin thought of Xing Xuanli's soul-stirring face, a complex emotion surged in her heart.

What a face it was, eyebrows like distant ink, eyes like autumn water, skin whiter than snow, lips red without any lipstick. Every line seemed as if carefully carved by heaven, a beauty that was breathtaking.

Nalan Qin sighed secretly. Compared to Xing Xuanli, those who tried to cling to her seemed so mediocre and crude. She knew that Xing Xuanli's beauty lay not only in her appearance, but also in her elegant temperament and inner wisdom.

"With such a peerless beauty, it's no wonder that she attracts so many people." Nalan Qin murmured to himself, with both admiration for Xing Xuanli's beauty and a hint of indescribable envy in his heart.

She thought of all she had experienced in this troubled world, and then looked at Xing Xuanli, who seemed untouched by the dust of the world, and couldn't help feeling a little confused. But Nalan Qin quickly shook her head and put these messy thoughts aside.

No wonder Regent Nangong Han is so obsessed. Others don’t know what happened between Regent Nangong Han and her master Xing Xuanli. They only know that Regent Nangong Han has been looking for Xing Xuanli for five years.

Nalan Qin's heart was filled with curiosity and doubt as he thought of this. For the past five years, Regent Nangong Han had mobilized almost all of his power, leaving no stone unturned, just to find Xing Xuanli. What kind of deep emotion could drive such a powerful and ruthless Regent to such a persistent pursuit?

Nalan Qin had also heard some rumors. Some said that they had once had an unforgettable love, but were separated due to various misunderstandings; others said that Xing Xuanli was hiding a secret that was related to the lifeblood of the country. But these were just rumors, without any solid evidence.

She gazed out the window at the moonlight, her thoughts drifting away. She imagined them five years ago, perhaps swearing an eternal vow beneath the moon and flowers, perhaps cuddling each other in the wind and rain, offering each other warmth. But somehow, they eventually drifted apart in the vast sea of ​​people.

"The reasons behind this are probably only clear to them," Nalan Qin sighed softly. She knew that love affairs in this world were often complex and unpredictable, and the emotions of a figure as high and mighty as the Regent were even more mysterious and turbulent.

Nalan Qin withdrew her thoughts and decided not to speculate on these secrets that she could not know. She only knew that she had to protect Xing Xuanli and prevent her from being hurt.

At this time of morning, the Regent's Palace was bathed in golden sunlight, quiet and solemn.

The birds in the palace chirped happily, as if cheering for the new day. The morning breeze blew gently, stirring the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, rustling the green leaves.

The servants began their busy day, some were cleaning the yard, some were preparing breakfast, everything seemed in order.

In the study of the palace, Regent Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) had already stood up. He was wearing a black brocade robe, standing tall and straight. He was standing in front of the window, gazing deeply into the distance, as if thinking about something important.

In the garden, several maids were carefully pruning the branches of flowers. They were talking in low voices with faint smiles on their faces.

The entire Regent's Palace was filled with vitality and vigor, and a new day began.

Xing Xuanli and her two children were still asleep. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked at the sleeping faces of the mother and her two children, his heart filled with tenderness and warmth.

He sat gently on the bedside, his eyes moving gently over their faces. Xing Xuanli's face was serene and beautiful, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her face, and a faint smile at the corner of her lips, as if she was dreaming a sweet dream.

The two children snuggled up to her side, their little faces were pink and cute, and they smacked their lips from time to time in their sleep, looking very adorable.

Yun Mohan unconsciously reached out his hand and gently brushed away the hair scattered on Xing Xuanli's cheek. His movements were so gentle as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world. His eyes were full of pampering and care, recalling the inhuman torture he had inflicted on Xing Xuanli in his previous life. He wished he could kill himself in his previous life.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) murmured, "This silly woman, since you have been reborn, why don't you stay away from me like you did in your previous life?" His voice was very low, filled with deep confusion and self-blame.

In his previous life, he was blinded by hatred and ambition, and committed many unforgivable crimes against Xing Xuanli, causing her physical and mental torture. In this life, she had the opportunity to stay away from the source of all this pain, but she still chose to return to his side.

"Aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistake and being hurt by me again?" He frowned, his eyes full of pain and confusion.

Yun Mohan stared at Xing Xuanli's peaceful sleeping face, feeling a mixture of emotions. He knew full well how unforgivable his past mistakes were, and he couldn't understand why this woman could possess such courage and deep affection.

"Perhaps, this is love, deep and fearless." He sighed and secretly made up his mind that no matter what the cost, he would protect her well in this life, give her the most sincere love and happiness, and never let her suffer any harm again.

Xing Xuanli woke up slowly and saw Yun Mohan sitting beside the bed, so she asked, "Why are you here so early?" Yun Mohan smiled and said, "It's still early? The sun is already high in the sky, get up, little lazy pig." Xiao Muhan and Xiao Kexin were still in a daze when they heard their father's voice and slowly opened their eyes.

Little Mu Han rubbed his eyes and said in a baby voice, "Daddy, let me sleep a little longer." Little Ke Xin also mumbled, "I haven't slept enough either."

Yun Mohan gently pinched the two children's cheeks and said, "Hurry up and get up. There are fun things waiting for you today."

Xing Xuanli sat up, gave Yun Mohan a reproachful look, and said, "You only know how to coax them."

Yun Mohan held Xing Xuanli's hand and said gently, "I'm not trying to coax you. What I said is all true."

When Xiao Muhan heard that there was something fun, he suddenly became excited, jumped up, and asked, "Daddy, what is fun?"

Yun Mohan smiled mysteriously, "Get up and wash up first, then tell you after breakfast."

Little Kexin also sat up reluctantly, and with the help of the maid, the two little guys quickly finished washing up.

The family sat around the table, enjoying breakfast in a warm atmosphere. Sunlight streamed into the house through the windows, and at this moment, it was filled with happiness and warmth.
