It was him! Dong Ling Wan's heart tightened. Who would have thought that the person she was looking at was standing in front of her?

Dong Ling Wan was afraid that something would happen to her sister, so she hurried over. Who knew that after separating with Dong Ling Yu, she would run into Xiao Qian. Dong Ling Wan pinched the medicinal dregs given by her elder sister in her sleeve, and calmed down a little, "This humble girl greets Your Highness. I have no intention of bumping into you, Your Highness, please forgive me."

The person did not say anything, but continued to stare at Dong Ling Wan. Dong Ling Wan was courteous for a long time, but did not make a sound, and couldn't help but feel displeased, thinking that this person was putting on her shoes. She was even more sure that the person before her was the person on the night of Flower Lantern Festival.

Just as she was about to pay her respects again, a gentle voice rang out from above her head. "A secluded place like this. Why did you come here for no reason? Who were you talking to just now?"

Her voice was a little sticky, even a little childish. It didn't seem like she was lying, "Just now, this one girl, could it be that Your Highness has misjudged her?"

Xiao Qian narrowed his eyes as his lips curled up into a smile. He looked warm, but his tone of voice contained even more ridicule. Dong Ling Wan also smiled faintly as she met his gaze, her eyes filled with calmness. Suddenly, Xiao Qian slowly bent down. The distance between the two of them gradually shortened, but Dong Ling Wan could feel a dangerous aura slowly approaching her. What was even more frightening was that this feeling made her feel flustered, as if she was afraid that he would trick her into doing something …

"Your Highness, please have some self-respect!" Dong Ling Wan took a step back as her voice became cold, and her expression became extremely serious. What he was doing now was too frivolous. Never had a man come so close to her before, and they were even looking at each other!

"Your body fragrance is really different from the others!" These words seemed even more frivolous, but he continued to look straight at her. His eyes drooped slightly as he glanced into her sleeve, and then immediately met her eyes. It was obvious that he was implying something.

Dong Ling Wan was shocked. Did he actually smell the medicinal fragrance? Or was he simply seeing her with his sister? A trace of coldness flashed through his heart, but his expression did not change, "Your Highness, please have some self-respect!"

Xiao Qian chuckled and slowly straightened his body. "Self-respect?" Is it you, or is it this king? This palace is a place where you can walk around randomly? "

Dong Ling Wan clenched her hand under her sleeve, and her knuckles turned green. At this time, a man walked over from the other side of the small path, dressed in the same attire as the man in front of her, walking calmly, holding a mountain and river fan, smiling as he held up Dong Ling Wan's hand, which was still holding onto Dong Ling Wan's gift.

"Second brother is in a bad mood. I just saw this girl's face and laughed at her, causing you to disturb her." Xiao Qian chuckled.

Indeed, the person who had come was King Guannan, Xiao Han.

"Even if you want to tease me, you should take it seriously, right? I am a girl, not a man. Xiao Han shook his head with a hint of reproach, then looked at Dongfang Lingwan, "Speaking of which, whose young miss are you? It's fine if you leave the banquet as a girl, but if you don't bring anyone with you, then nothing will happen, it wouldn't be good if others saw you!"

"My daughter, Dong Ling Wan, has a heavy smell of alcohol during dinner. When I come out to sober up, I don't want to walk too far. Thank you for your advice! " Eastern Ling Wan smiled, replying appropriately.

Xiao Han immediately became surprised when he heard that the young lady in front of him was Dong Ling Wan, "So you're Dong Ling Wan! I thought she was such a great girl! "

"Your majesty, please excuse me."

Xiao Han was still a little curious, but he still waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I believe you've been out for a long time. Go back to your seat as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Dong Ling Wan bowed to the two of them, then left.

Xiao Han looked at Dong Ling Wan's back with a hint of playfulness. He couldn't help but turn to look at Xiao Qian, "What do you think of this second young miss?"

Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows and lightly waved his fan. He was always calm and collected as he replied, "She's just an ordinary woman."

"Oh? "I feel that this young miss Dong Er is different from ordinary people."

Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows and asked in an unexplainable manner, "What's the difference?"

Xiao Han lightly waved his fan. "You can understand, but you can't say anything about it."

"So that's how it is. "I'm afraid brother will never know how she's different."

During the meal, singing and dancing were in full swing.

Seeing that Dong Ling Wan had returned, Xue Ci hurriedly went forward to welcome her. "Why have you been gone so long? That's why I said I'm going to look for you. Next time, I have to follow someone."

Appreciating the snow offered a cup of tea, East Ling gently, only to feel boring. In her heart, she was still thinking about what happened just now. She didn't even know that Patrolman Xiao had toasted her. It was only after listening to Yu push her that she woke up and had a drink with Patrolman Xiao. It was at this moment that Eastern Ling Wan finally started to pay attention to Xiao Xun's beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Yes, the royal family had given birth to a pair of unfathomably beautiful peach blossom eyes. However, the things hidden within those eyes were not the same.

On the surface, Inspector Xiao was a slut, but he was also extremely ambitious and scheming. However, he was extremely secretive. If it weren't for the fact that they had known each other for so many years, even she wouldn't have discovered him.

Xiao Han was surrounded by a bookish aura, and was not as cold as the royal family. He should be a free and easy going character, of course, if these were just his disguises, then his scheming would be too deep!

On the surface, he looked calm, and his entire body was filled with a warmth that went deep into his bones. However, Dong Ling Wan felt that this person was the one that she should not get involved with, that he was just like Xiao Xun. He was panicking.

Song Jingyi loved to wander around randomly. Not long later, she arrived at Dongling Wan's side. Seeing her in a daze, she patted her. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?"

"Without any peace, you don't even know how to hold back during the palace banquet." Dong Ling Wan laughed and scolded. At this moment, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Xiao Qian and Xiao Han return with smiles. As she looked, their eyes met. Dong Ling Wan immediately withdrew her gaze.

"Watch him when he comes in, don't tell me you're right about him?" Song Jingyi lowered her voice, but her tone was filled with ridicule.

Dong Ling Wan glared at him, then gave her a light push. "If you dare speak any more nonsense, I'll have big brother Yuan Xuan take you back."

"Just a few words and you're already angry. It's not bad to be your cousin. Although he is a bit weak, he's very protective of me before leaving the capital. Marry him and he won't be bullied by me."

"Weak?" Eastern Ling Wan frowned.

"What if I call him over?" Song Jingyi gave her a wink.

Dong Ling Wan felt pain in her head. Rubbing her forehead, she said, "Appreciating the snow, I'll ask for the memorial …"

"Let's not talk about it anymore. As long as you don't have a crush on my brother, I don't care who you hurt!" Song Jingyi quickly waved her hand to hold on to the snow and returned to her seat.

Xiao Qian withdrew his gaze, but his expression was still calm. Xiao Han could clearly see the eyes of the two looking at each other, and whispered into his ear, "Big brother, the second young miss of the Dong Family is extremely beautiful!"

"There are countless beauties in the world, but they are nothing more than pink skeletons."

Xiao Han shook his head and sighed, "You are so tall. Don't tell me that you don't realize that she looks at you the same way she looks at others?"

"I'm not like you, keep an eye on that person."

"Ten years have passed, and Big Brother is still as boring as ever."

Xiao Qian turned around and smiled, "Whatever you want."

When it was close to the sea, the palace banquet was over. Everyone had their lanterns lit, and for a moment, they were all somewhat dazzled. One group of carriage after another was separated, disappearing into the distance along with the darkness of the night.

Dong Ling Wan was soaking in the hot spring. The water was so dense that no one could see her clearly. He held the floating petals up to his nose and sniffed. The fragrance of the flower lingered in his nose as he put down the hard work of the day.

After returning to her room, she told Xue Moyan to go to the shop in the morning and instruct her servants to leave the herbs that could replenish her energy and help nourish her blood, so that she could send them over to Rushing Jade when she saw them.

"Don't wake me up if you don't have something important to do tomorrow."

"Yes." The two of them left the room. Dong Ling Wan wore a single robe as she quietly cut a candle's heart. The light from the lamp illuminated her soft and beautiful face. In the Golden Beast Furnace, a new lotus fragrance was added as it slowly swallowed and exhaled the mist. The Blue Lotus fragrance coiled around the tip of his nose, creating a cool and refreshing atmosphere.

"Wan'er, elder sister will make it a long story. Recently, the emperor's health has been getting worse and the imperial physician is unreliable. Go find someone else to see if there's anything wrong with the medicine." The pale garb of Dongdongyu looked even colder in the shadows, and even the face of Ben, which had been powdered, was deathly pale.

"The emperor ordered?" Dong Ling Wan frowned. If anything happened to the Emperor under the care of his elder sister, not to mention his elder sister, the entire Dong Clan would be buried with him.

Dong Jiu Yu shook her head, "I made the decision on my own. Elder sister always feels that something is off about this thing, go and check it first. "

Eastern Ling Wan nodded. "Don't worry, big sister."

Dong Ling Wan pulled herself together from her memories, feeling depressed.

Under the lamp, Dong Lingwan took out the medicine bag, and put it down after a slight frown. She pushed open the window and let the cool wind hit her face … Recalling the increasingly haggard face of Dong Rui Yu, Dong Ling Wan sighed. The harem was a mess, which one of them wasn't troublesome to deal with? No wonder father said he didn't want to marry into the imperial family.

"Miss, please get up. The crown prince is here."

The next day, when the East Dawn came out, Dong Lingwan was still in deep sleep. The sound of the rain gently woke her up, and seven or eight little girls came in line, carrying toiletries as they waited for her to wash up. Zhang Yi's clothes and makeup had all been tidied up, and when Dong Lingwan saw that everyone was busy, she frowned and thought to herself.

Dong Ling Wan thought that only Xiao Xun would come, but she didn't expect …
