A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Throughout the journey, Xin Moling remained silent with a sullen face, his large hand tightly gripping Xin Moyan's wrist.

Seeing that her brother looked upset, she assumed he was angry that she had run around, and without even asking about Xie Cangming, she quickly apologized, "Brother, I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Yan'er, it's good that you're alright. Let's go back to the manor and talk about it."

"Hmm!" Xin Moyan suddenly remembered that she had just asked Sister Hongluan to pick up Buyu. Where is Buyu now?

“Brother, I just asked Sister Hongluan to go to Yunxiang Tower to find Buyu. We agreed to meet on the street.”

Xin Moling stopped and comforted her, "I sent a signal to Hongluan to let them go back to the manor and wait. They're fine. I'm just worried that you'll be frightened by Xie Cangming."

She shook her head, her mind filled with many questions, but she didn't know how to bring them up.

Xin Moling didn't offer any further explanation and simply took her and Cailian back to the General's Mansion.

Hua Buyu had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When she saw them come in, she hurriedly ran to Xin Moyan.

"Yan Yan, are you alright? How did you get lost? Xin Moling, how did you suddenly appear on the street?"

"It's already past 7:45 PM. Yan'er must be hungry. Let's have a meal first!"

"Oh! Okay then! Yan Yan, let's eat and chat."

At the dinner table, Xin Moyan secretly gave her a few winks. Hua Buyu noticed that the expressions of the brother and sister seemed a bit off, and they didn't seem to be happy about the long-awaited reunion, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After the meal, while Hua Buyu was bathing and changing, Xin Moling asked Hongluan to invite her to the study.

"elder brother."

"Yan'er, come here!" Xin Moling saw her come in and strode forward to pull her to sit down.

Xin Moyan also felt that her brother was acting strangely today, but she still waited quietly for him to speak.

"Yan'er, will you be scared tonight?"

"No, brother, when did you arrive in the capital? And why are you there?"

Hearing his sister repeatedly say that she wasn't frightened, he finally felt relieved and slowly said, "A few days ago, I received news that the Imperial Advisor was at the border, so Qingque and I set off for the border. However, we were entangled by the Nightfall assassins on the way, which delayed us for several days."

"Ah! A suicide squad member? Brother, are you alright?"

Xin Moyan was immediately shocked and hurriedly got up to check him out.

He gently stroked Xin Moyan's head and softly comforted her, "It's alright, they're just lackeys, your brother won't get hurt."

Seeing her sister's concern for her, a warm feeling washed over her. She explained to her, "I couldn't find the Imperial Preceptor at the border until last night when my subordinates reported that he had appeared in the capital. That's why I rushed back overnight and didn't arrive in the capital until dusk. I originally planned to see the Imperial Preceptor before returning home, but I never expected that Yan'er would run into me and follow me around."

"Brother, have you found the Imperial Advisor?"

"Hehe~ Yan'er, it seems that Xie Cangming only told you his name and did not reveal his identity."

"What do you mean?"

He reached out and patted his sister's head, saying calmly, "Xie Cangming is Yuanqi's national advisor. That place is his residence outside the palace. I didn't know you had accidentally wandered into his house."

"Brother, are you saying that Uncle Xie is the Imperial Advisor? Then he saw me in the palace before, which is why he knows me?"

"Yes, it's normal that Yan'er doesn't recognize him now that she has lost her memory. However, Xie Cangming is fickle, so Yan'er must remember not to have too much contact with him in the future. Just call him the Imperial Preceptor."

Xin Moyan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Brother, is Uncle Xie... the Grand Preceptor's white hair natural? How old is he exactly? He looks quite young, but he said he saw me when I was born, so he must be several decades old, right?"

Hehehe~~~

It turned out that Yan'er was troubled by this very issue, which made him chuckle softly.

“From the first time I saw him, his hair was already white as frost. He is now... Yan’er doesn’t need to know too much.”

"Oh! So, brother, is there something important that you need to see the Imperial Advisor? Why did you go to the border and risk such danger?"

Xin Moling frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing across her eyes.

"Yes, matters of the court."

Xin Moyan nodded thoughtfully, then said, "When I saw my brother so angry last night, I thought the Grand Preceptor and my brother had a grudge against each other!"

"Brother searched around outside for a long time. When the door opened, he saw Yan'er standing alone in the hall. Xie Cangming still had the same face as always. Brother was afraid that you would be bullied by him, so he got a little anxious."

"Brother, why did the Imperial Advisor say he held me when I was little?"

Xin Moling didn't hide anything this time and frankly told her, "Yes, when Yan'er was born, Xie Cangming was not yet the Imperial Preceptor. He once came to the mansion with his master."

"When I was born, I was tiny, so how could my brother carry me?"

"Hehehe~ Of course, Yan'er doesn't know, but on the day you were born, your brother was the first person to hold you. Even your father was behind your brother in line!"

"Hehe, brother definitely loves Yan'er the most!"

She smiled brightly and then asked, "How old was the Imperial Advisor back then? Was he like this now? Brother, do you remember what happened back then?"

Xin Moling's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a hurt and heartbroken expression. She said dejectedly, "Yan'er seems quite interested in Xie Cangming. Could it be... that she doesn't care about her brother anymore?"

"How could that be? Yan'er cares about her brother the most. It's just that the Grand Preceptor has a full head of white hair, but his face is handsome and young. It's my first time seeing him, so I can't help but feel a little curious."

"Isn't my brother handsome and young?"

"Brother is the most handsome! Brother, you don't know, when I first saw the Imperial Advisor last night, I thought he was a ghost!"

"He really does look like a ghost."

"call out!"

Xin Moling suddenly pulled a calligraphy brush from the desk next to her and flew it out the door in a flash.

"what!"

Hua Buyu screamed outside the door and burst through it in an instant.

"Xin Moling, are you trying to murder me?"

"Eavesdropping outside the door is not the behavior of a gentleman."

She curled her lip dismissively, walked over to the two men, and sat down. "Of course I'm not a gentleman; I'm a beautiful and delicate woman."

"Ah!"

"Hey! Can you stop sneering? It's humiliating!"

Xin Moling glanced at her and asked calmly, "What do you want?"

"I couldn't find Yan Yan, so I came to find you guys! By the way, the milk tea shop opens tomorrow, did you rush back like a madman?"

Xin Moling's expression froze. "Yan'er, your brother forgot to prepare a gift for your opening."

Her eyes instantly crinkled into a smile as she said, "I hope you can come with me tomorrow, brother! Yan'er doesn't need any gifts."

"I have plenty of beauty, but I do lack it!"

Xin Moling felt annoyed by the noise and reached out to knock a roasted chestnut onto Hua Buyu's head.
