He saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the bamboo forest. The girl's appearance could be said to be devastatingly beautiful. She was graceful, graceful, and had the charm of a little girl. She was truly a beauty that was hard to find in the world.

Xuanyuan Yun's footsteps could not help but stop, it was not that he wanted to stop, but the woman just happened to be on his path and blocked his path forward.

Xuanyuan Wentian's cold eyes swept over the woman's body.

Even with such an indifferent gaze, the girl's pale face couldn't help but blush a little. This blush was just right, causing her already devastatingly beautiful face to instantly become as fresh as a celestial object.

All of the people who looked at the woman were dazed, including those eunuchs who could not even perform their duties properly.

When the woman saw the crowd looking at her, her face flushed red, her slender fingers fidgeting with the brocade handkerchief she was holding, she took a shy step towards Xuanyuan Wentian.

"Does the Regent remember me?"

Xuan Yuan frowned, a look of displeasure flashing across his face, but he quickly calmed down, as if the look on his face just now was an illusion.

"I do. The devastatingly beautiful Princess Nanxuan, Duanmu Yan, probably won't forget anyone who sees her."

When Duanmu Yan heard this, her face instantly flushed red to the extreme. She could not help but reveal a happy expression.

"I didn't expect the Regent to really remember me. Yan'er is extremely honored."

"Princess is too polite."

"Is the Regent heading back to the Residence?"

"Exactly."

The two of them chatted excitedly.

And Xiao Lan, who was currently being embraced by Xuanyuan Wentian, naturally heard the conversation between the two of them clearly. For a moment, she snorted coldly in her heart.

To be able to say something that would cause the downfall of a nation from Xuanyuan Yun's mouth, it was likely that the princess of Nan Xuan was an extremely beautiful woman.

After speaking for such a long time, it seemed like he had been lying when he told her that he did not want to marry Duanmu Yan, that he wanted to marry her as a shield. Back then, he only wanted to coax her into marrying him, so he could use this opportunity to confirm that the Rebirth Gu worm on her was real.

The unconscious Xiao Lan took a deep breath. As expected, Xuanyuan Wentian had become a demon that no one could see through.

Xuanyuan Yun, who was originally talking to Duanmu Yan, had his gaze fall upon Xiao Lan after she inhaled a breath of air. His cold eyes suddenly shone with a profound meaning that no one was able to fathom.

Duanmu Yan had initially been doing her best to ignore the person in Xuanyuan Wentian's arms because she didn't need to guess to know who Xuanyuan'er was carrying.

She was naturally extremely angry and jealous, but she couldn't show it. As a woman and a princess of a country, she naturally had to show some restraint and magnanimity.

As Xuanyuan Yun continued to stare at Xiao Lan for a longer and longer time, Duanmu Yan had no choice but to look at Xiao Lan as well. After that, she asked with an expression of feigned bewilderment.

"Who is the woman the Regent is carrying?"

Xuanyuan Yun raised his eyes slightly and said with a clear voice, "She is this king's consort."

"Oh?"

Duanmu Yan walked towards Xuanyuan Feng again, and then her face was covered with a suitable look of concern. "What happened to her?"

As Duanmu Yan approached Xiao Lan, Xuan Yuan naturally took a step back, pulling the distance that Duanmu Yan wanted to close.

Duanmu Yan froze on the spot. This …

What did he retreat for? Seeing this woman, he wasn't going to allow it.

Could it be that what the world said about the wedding of the Nine Sparrows and their brother-in-law was true? Xuanyuan really doted on this princess of his.

For a time, Duanmu Yan clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand into a ball in a place that no one could see. Her grip almost shattered into pieces.

After a moment, Duanmu Yan smiled.

"What is the Regent doing? Although I'm Princess Nanxuan, I've studied under the Medicine Immortal's tutelage for a few days. Now that your consort is sick, I might be able to cure her."

Xuanyuan Wentian silently stood there, his face devoid of any expression.

Hearing Duanmu Yan's words, his heart couldn't help but be stirred up by a wave. He didn't expect that Duanmu Yan, who had been studying under the Medicine Immortal for a few days, would be different from the others. Maybe she would be able to detect the Rebirth Gu worms from her body differently, no wonder she had to retreat as she approached Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan Yun vaguely felt Xiao Lan's breathing rise and fall and couldn't help but look at Xiao Lan once more.

If he hadn't guessed wrongly, the girl in his embrace seemed to be able to hear their conversation, because more than once he had felt the difference in her breathing after their words had fallen.

Realizing this, the corner of Xuanyuan Yun's lips curled up as he pulled Xiao Lan's arm in with a great deal of force.

"There's no need to trouble the princess. This prince's wife accompanied him on a trip out of the capital. On the way, she was too tired and fell asleep. I didn't want to wake up, so I took her back to the manor to rest."

"…"

Duanmu Yan was stunned on the spot.

What...

Too tired?

A man who sleeps because he is tired. Was it necessary for him to stir up the whole hospital?

Duanmu Yan could not believe her eyes as she looked at the imperial physicians standing not too far away.

All the doctors showed an expression of realisation after Xuanyuan Po's words.

So she was asleep. No wonder, no wonder, how could a perfectly fine person find out the cause of disease, because she wasn't sick at all, alright?

Seeing the expressions of the imperial physicians, Duanmu Yan suddenly pursed her lips. It looked like it was true. The Regent really doted on this wangfei.

If this was true, then what was she supposed to do? Beat up the mandarin ducks, and force them to separate lovers?

Just as Duanmu Yan was about to correct her mistake, a pleasant voice rang out from not too far away.

"So you're here, little sister Yan'er. It was really good finding you, brother."

A man calmly walked over from a short distance away.

After seeing the man clearly, Duanmu Yan naturally took a step towards him and smiled.

"Royal brother."

The man that Duanmu Yan called her royal brother was the Crown Prince of South Xuan Kingdom, Duanmu Zimo. He had come here to discuss the matter of the marriage with Duanmu Yan.

Duanmu Zimo was a well-known figure in all the countries. It wasn't because he was the crown prince of a country, but because even though he was the crown prince of a country, he didn't have the cold dignity of someone from the royal family. Instead, his entire body revealed the appearance of a beautiful young master.

Especially at this moment, Duanmu Zimo was smiling so innocently that anyone who saw him would think that this crown prince was a kind and benevolent person.

Duanmu Zimo walked next to Duanmu Yan with a doting smile.

"Next time you go, you must inform your royal brother in advance. Otherwise, your royal brother will be very worried."

"Yes, Yan'er understands."

Duanmu Yan obediently agreed.
