Seeing the man get off the palanquin not too far away, Yue Linlang followed his figure and saw a rather grand mansion. Just by looking at the two gilded lions at the entrance, one could tell that the owner of the mansion had an extraordinary status.

Regent's Manor?! Being led out of the palanquin, Yue Lin Lang faced the four words written on the red lacquer door, and her heart surged. Wasn't he the Regent? The thought of escape vanished.

On the way here, she had already found out about the river. Yue Linlang was the daughter of Yue Zhengying, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. She was seventeen years old. Yue Zhengying was a straightforward person and was a well-established royalist. He could be considered one of the meritorious ministers who quelled the war over the throne after the passing of the late Emperor last year. Yue Linlang even asked for the location of the Moon Residence in case of an emergency. With this background, she dared to enter this palace that was only slightly less luxurious than the palace.

Actually, Yue Lin Lang wanted to ask Jiang Hai about last night's incident, but Jiang Hai kept his mouth shut and reminded her with a fierce look. Those who brushed past her, all gave her a shocked look. Yue Lin Lang lightly inhaled a breath of cool air, instantly feeling that the air in the manor was extremely strange.

On the forest floor, Yue Linlang appeared again. Jiang Hai anticipated that Xiao Jiexi would definitely give him a hard time, but he still braced himself to pass on the orders of the empress dowager.

"Regent, the empress dowager has sent a servant to deliver a gift to Lady Yue Linlang. If you like it, you can stay!"

"Stay." Xiao Jiexi's tone was surprisingly calm. However, the cold glint in his eyes still caused chills to run down one's spine.

Jiang Hai was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He could only respectfully take his leave.

Yue Linlang observed from outside the door. According to her professional habits, she should have already memorized every detail of the room, but she did not. She spent all her energy on that peerless beauty, exclaiming in her heart countless times: "It's like, too similar, exactly the same!"

"Come in." He said coldly.

Yue Lin Lang steadied her mind and slowly walked forward. Her body posture was graceful and her expression was as calm as possible.

"Greetings, Regent." This voice was like a mountain stream that was clear and refreshing.

Xiao Victorious Return lifted her lower jaw, forcing her to see the anger in his eyes. "You still dare to come?"

"Lin Lang, follow Her Majesty's orders …" Yue Linlang suddenly felt her body float. In the blink of an eye, he had actually lifted her up into the air.

Xiao Jiexi pursed his lips and looked playfully at her calm eyes. Interestingly, she didn't scream.

"Moreover, Linlang has admired Your Highness for a long time." She was actually able to finish the second part of the sentence in a relaxed manner.

Why did that coward from last night suddenly change his appearance? He couldn't help but look at her and ask, "Are you not afraid of death?"

"Afraid." I request the Regent to show mercy and let my daughter go. " When it was time to show weakness, she knew how to show weakness.

His smile was extremely gentle, but he didn't show any mercy. He expected that this small body would fall to the ground miserably, and might even cry out in pain. However, Yue Linlang had one knee and both arms touching the ground. The other tiptoe nimbly tapped the ground and she stood up steadily.

"A good man doesn't fight with women." That was the signal between her and Leon. She couldn't wait to say how much she wanted him to be Leon. She couldn't just let the chance to meet him slip away. If he were Leon, his answer would be: It's a pity you're a woman.

Looking at the ruthlessness and the chill in his eyes, Yue Linlang's hopes were dashed. Sure enough, he wasn't Leon.

Xiao Jiexi really should have looked up to this seemingly weak but in fact tenacious girl in front of him. She actually dared to scold him. Alright, since a good man doesn't fight with a woman, he will find someone to fight with her.
