Xiao Lan opened her mouth slightly. "Since you know what I want to ask, then go ahead and tell me."

Liu Yan's expression instantly became troubled.

She said...

What did he say? That the prince ordered her to get close to the princess?

Wouldn't this mean that he had sold out his highness, and at that time, his highness would …

Xiao Lan took in all the awkwardness and helplessness on Liu Yan's face. It seemed that it was difficult to say anything. Fine, she'll ask.

"Since you won't tell me, then answer my question. Tell me, why did Xuanyuan Po let you get close to me?"

When she said that, Liu Yan immediately opened her eyes wide.

She originally thought that Xiao Lan would ask her why she was so close to her.

However, he didn't expect her to directly bypass the question and ask about this matter.

This...

She didn't know either …

Seeing that Liu Yan's eyes were filled with panic, Xiao Lan's eyes sank. She extended her hand to cover her eyes and softly sighed.

Fifth lady, I don't want to waste my time these few days, I'm really tired of resting. I don't care if you're acting or if it's real, answer my question. After you're done, you can leave the Wordless School unharmed.

"Miss!" Ke Er instantly went forward and grabbed onto Liu Yan's hand when she heard Xiao Lan, and her face was filled with terror until tears flowed down.

Why is he still lying down?

Liu Yan was naturally afraid at this moment. She knew that the Regent's Consort in front of her would not joke around with her, and she would not scare her.

But she really didn't know.

After a short moment, Liu Yan pushed Ke Er's hand away and slowly withdrew a letter from her sleeve.

"Princess, this letter is with you every day …" "This is what the prince wrote …"

"That day, the Prince sent a guard to pass this letter to me. If you don't believe Liu Yan, you'll understand after reading it."

Xiao Lan's gaze turned heavy. From the looks of it, Liu Yan didn't seem to be lying. After which, she cast a glance at Ning Xiang.

Xiao Lan quickly took the letter from Liu Yan's hand and handed it to her.

Xiao Lan opened the letter and indeed, it was only a small number.

He would stay by her side from now on, at all times.

Xiao Lan carefully scanned through the letter several times. It was also Xuanyuan Feng's handwriting, but what did he mean by that? Ye Zichen got Liu Yan to stay by her side.

Xiao Lan touched the piece of paper on which the letter was written. Suddenly, the color in his eyes froze as he raised his head and instructed Ning Xiang.

"Go and get an oil lamp."

Oil lamp?

Everyone was stunned. What was the point in taking out the oil lamp at this time?

Ning Xiang was naturally puzzled as well. She quickly took out an oil lamp and handed it over as instructed.

Ning Xiang placed the oil lamp on the table. "Princess, Oil Lamp."

Xiao Lan casually placed the letter on top of the oil lamp and roasted it. Not only did it not burn the letter, but it also caused the letter to be scorched by the high temperature.

A moment later, another row of small words appeared below the few words.

Everyone was very surprised.

At this moment, Liu Yan also couldn't help but take a few steps forward. So this letter actually had this kind of mystery.

That... What did the Prince say to her?!

Xiao Lan couldn't help but speak indifferently when she saw Liu Yan's nervous and panicked expression.

"Come here, let's watch together."

If there really was something written on the paper, she could only blame herself for not knowing. However, as the saying goes, if you let someone die, they will die together. It was better to look at it with her.

Liu Yan suppressed her panic and walked up to Xiao Lan's side.

Everyone looked at the handsomely written words on the letter: Liu Yan has a gentle personality, her chess skills are decent, and her cooking skills are excellent. She has nothing else to do, so she can accompany me and wait for me to return.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

This...

This... It was obviously from the prince to his wife.

It still seemed to be … Love letters.

Ning Xiang couldn't help but smile. She had already said that the prince was extremely good to his wangfei, and had even found the person who was usually uninterested in helping her pass the time.

When Liu Yan saw these words, she felt an unspeakable depression in her heart. She didn't know if she should be happy or sad.

He was glad that the regent had known her somewhat, and sad that he had simply treated her as an object for the Princess to spend her time with.

Ke'er saw her master standing there in a daze and quickly stepped forward. How could she not know what her master was thinking? She really liked the prince, but now …

"Miss, please don't …"

Before Ke Er finished speaking, she saw Liu Yan quickly turn her head around and give her a fierce glare, signalling her not to say anything. Ke Er quickly shut her mouth.

This scene was clearly seen by Xiao Lan. She did not deny that her heart stopped when she saw those words, but when she saw Liu Yan's expression, she couldn't help but frown.

Xuanyuan. Did he understand or not? This was not like finding someone to pass the time with. It was like finding someone to hate her for no reason at all.

Xiao Lan stretched out his hand and placed the letter directly on top of the oil lamp.

Seeing this, Liu Yan was shocked, "Royal Consort!"

Liu Yan's excitement caused Xiao Lan to be stunned. "What's wrong?"

At this moment, the letter had already been completely burnt to ashes. As he looked at the remnants of the ashes, a hint of pain flashed across his eyes, and his voice was hoarse.

"I... I want to keep this page. "

Xiao Lan frowned when he heard this. He looked at Liu Yan with a deep gaze. From the looks of it … This girl seems to have fallen in love with Xuanyuan.

A wind blew and the ashes were gone.

Xiao Lan suddenly shifted her gaze when she saw Liu Yan's reddened eyes.

She couldn't understand how the ancients and their four concubines got along with each other. Now that she didn't like Xuanyuan, she couldn't get along with Liu Yan any longer.

Xiao Lan waved her hand at Liu Yan. "Echo Hall."

Since Xuanyuan Wentian did not have any other intentions, she naturally would not make things difficult for him.

Looking at Xiao Lan's agitated expression, Liu Yan silently turned around with grief written all over her face. Then, she walked out of the courtyard step by step. When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she suddenly stopped and then knelt down.

"Princess!"

It wasn't because of how loud Liu Yan's voice was, but because the emotions that were mixed in her voice had simply reached the extreme. It seemed like she was enduring, struggling, or giving in, and finally, it was a deep compromise.

Xiao Lan looked towards Liu Yan.

When Liu Yan saw Xiao Lan looking at her, she bit her lips and said resolutely.

"Princess, Liu Yan knows …" "You know that you're afraid of Liu Yan's jealousy, and you're afraid that Liu Yan will harm you one day, but Liu Yan swears that if Liu Yan ever dares to hurt Princess Wangfei one day, she will be struck by lightning and will die a horrible death!"

Xiao Lan's body couldn't help but stiffen. What was she doing?

Liu Yan looked at Xiao Lan with reddened eyes.

"Princess, Liu Yan is begging you, please let Liu Yan accompany you. Liu Yan only wants to accomplish the tasks assigned to her by the Prince …" Liu Yan will not think too much, she will definitely do her best to serve you … Otherwise, you will reduce Liu Yan to a slave... Yes, can I follow you as a slave? "

Hearing this, Ke Er quickly went forward to support Liu Yan.

"Young lady, why must you suffer? Now, no matter what you say, you are still a prince's concubine, you are nothing if you were to be reduced to a slave. "
