Xu Yan stood in front of the window for a long time, and even He Xun didn't notice it when he came in. He Xun looked at Xu Yan who had no reaction at all, and finally couldn't help but say, "Your Highness."

Xu Yan looked back in panic, facing He Xun's worried look. She sorted out the broken hair on her temples and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

He Xun lowered his head and forced himself not to pay attention to something wrong with Xu Yan. He didn't say anything, but just handed the secret letter in his hand to Xu Yan.

Needless to say anything between the two, Xu Yan could already guess what the content in the secret letter was. She lowered her head, rubbed the rough textured letter paper in her palm, and said to He Xun softly: "I understand, you go out and ask Yingchun to prepare a pot of tea for me." He Xun knew that this was Xu Yan's excuse to send him away, so he lowered his head and said yes, and then quickly retreated.

When Xu Yan was left in the empty house again, she used the glimmer of light from the candlelight to disassemble the letter in her hand. The moment the envelope was torn apart, Xu Yan could clearly feel that his heartbeat was beating, and several thoughts flashed through her mind. Is it the urgent report from General He? Or is it the good news that all the thieves in the Nancheng City were wiped out? But the only thing she didn't expect was...the words written in the letter.

"Zhan Xin'an." The short three words made Xu Yan unable to help but blush his eyes. The elegant and handsome font on the letter made Xu Yan feel familiar and unfamiliar. Clouds rise, I knew that I knew that you were not dead. Under the lonely candlelight, bright flames kept jumping on Xu Yan's face, reflecting her sad face.

Xu Yan closed the letter gently, and then heard the knocking sound from outside the door. Xu Yan hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said to the outsider: "Come in." The person outside the door heard Xu Yan's sniffing movement in the room, hesitated to push the door, and then carefully closed the door, as if he was afraid of disturbing her emotions.

"Your Highness, the tea is here." Xu Yan looked upwards with the source of the sound. Who could the person in front of him be He Xun? Xu Yan did not take the tea and put the envelope in front of He Xun and asked, "Is it the news sent to you by Qianji Pavilion?" He Xun did not look at the envelope on the table, bowed and said, "Yes."

Xu Yan was silent, and then asked, "Do you know how they got the news? Did they say anything to you when they sent you this letter?" He Xun did not answer for a long time, and Xu Yan read the answer from his silence.

She sighed lightly, took back the envelope, and then said, "Forget it, I know that asking you these will not be of any use. In a few days, I will talk to Qianji Pavilion to let you hold a more powerful position in Qianji Pavilion."

He Xun's speech speed increased significantly this time. He said in a panic: "No need, Your Highness. I don't have that ambition, I just hope to be by Your Highness."

Xu Yan did not read the profound meaning of He Xun's words, but thought he was afraid that he would take away the power in his palace, so he spoke out and comforted him: "It's okay, it's also your thing for you to help me find out the news in Qianji Pavilion. I will remember this credit for you. You don't have to worry about the matter in the palace, I have my own arrangements."

Xu Yan's words had come to this point, and He Xun could not refute. He silently nodded and agreed to the matter for a few seconds, and then disappeared into the dark night again without any noise.

The night is long, and only parting is left after waking up.

Xu Yan looked at Liang Yu sitting in the audience, frowned and asked, "Have you really thought about it?"

When Liang Yu heard this, he laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny: "Otherwise? If you don't marry me, I won't go back. Are you going to stay with you as a proton?"

Xu Yan hurriedly explained: "You know I don't mean that. I'm just worried that you will not complete this marriage and will be your father after you go back..."

Before Xu Yan could finish his voice, he heard Liang Yu's cold voice reply in an instant: "Even if my marriage succeeds, I will be just a prince who is ridiculed by all the people of Liang after I go back. No matter what, the ending of being ridiculed and insulted by others will not change. So why not let myself go back with a little decent attitude?"

After Liang Yu said this, Xu Yan had nothing to say to him. She held the handrail tightly, then let go weakly, lowered her eyes and said, "Okay, is it decided when to leave? I'll give you there."

Liang Yu didn't look at her. He stared at the door and was staring blankly, his eyes wandering without content. He just replied lightly when he heard Xu Yan's question, "Xu Yan, you know?"

Xu Yan asked in confusion: "What do you know?" This time, she did not get Liang Yu's answer. In this surprising silence, she seemed to understand the meaning of Liang Yu's words, but she could not respond to it.

Liang Yu did not say these illusory words to her again. His dark eyes stared at Xu Yan, and after a long time, an extremely cold word came out: "No matter what method is used, you must let your mother wake up the last time before death."

Before Xu Yan could ask why, he had already stood up and walked out of the door. Xu Yan stood up anxiously and chased out, but the wide palace uniform suddenly hung on the chair. As she turned around and untie it, the tall figure had disappeared from the corner, leaving only countless willow catkins floating in the air.

It was already the beginning of the summer when Liang Yu was sent away. Before the mother's mother woke up, good news came from Nanjun. The two ministers who ran away with money in Qingcheng died suddenly inexplicably during the escort back to Beijing. The heavy rains for several days did not have much impact on the people of Qingcheng under the efforts of the soldiers. The horn of victory of the army sounded all the way back to Beijing, which made the people of Xu, who had been frightened since the beginning of spring, rejoiced again. Xu Yan's reputation gradually became established in the process of smooth resolution of these matters.

Everything seemed to be revitalized again with the arrival of summer. However, the friends she had been thinking about did not cheer up like these delightful things.

It was a hot day. Yingchun kept fanning Xu Yan, but she still couldn't stop the stuffy moisture. Xu Yan's sweat almost soaked his back, and the thin gauze skirt pressed against her back, making her feel extremely anxious. Although the four palace maids beside her didn't say anything, they just kept umbrellas for her. However, their red cheeks and sweat beads that kept sliding from their foreheads told Xu Yan and the others were also under the test of high temperatures.

Xu Yan opened the curtain of the carriage in a little annoyed, and asked the accompanying guard next to him, "How long will it take to get to the suburbs of Beijing?" The accompanying guard bowed and replied, "Your Highness is not far away."

Xu Yan pulled down the curtain, took the folding fan in Yingchun's hand and kept fanning the wind, then took out one of the grapes from the Bingjian and handed them to Yingchun. Seeing Yingchun hesitantly ate them, he said, "I'm really convinced. Liang Yu didn't even choose a good day when he went back. But he chose the day of the Lixia, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

Yingchun paused Xu Yan's hand on the grape skin, and then replied, "I think the Sixth Prince must have his own reason." Xu Yan said hummingly, "He is all fallacy, and he can coax you women who love appearances."

Amid Xu Yan's complaints, the group finally arrived at the suburbs of Beijing. As soon as Xu Yan got off the car, he saw Liang Yu at the front of the team.

Under the scorching sun, Liang Yu was wearing armor all over his body. His sinister eyes flashed a soft light when they saw Xu Yan. He smiled and waved to Xu Yan: "Goodbye Xu Yan!"
