As soon as she came out, she saw a familiar figure.
Xie Xingyun placed his hand lightly on his chin, as if he was thinking. Then, he put it down, and the high bridge of his nose cut a shadow on his cheek.
The imperial guard cupped his fists and pointed at this area. His voice was a little soft, and Bai Xianyu could not hear him clearly. He was probably reporting the number of people.
After the two of them finished speaking, Xie Xingyun turned around. When he saw her standing outside the hall, he was slightly stunned. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Bai Xianyu had been his wife for a few years. Most of the time, she knew what Xie Xingyun’s expression meant.
This expression meant that he was angry.
Xie Xingyun walked in front of her, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her away with a dark expression.
Bai Xianyu staggered a little, but the man was as strong as a bull. She bit her lip, but if she spoke now, she would attract everyone’s attention. She could only follow him.
Xie Xingyun brought her to a remote corner of a palace wall. He had yet to let go of her hand. His gaze was deep and carried emotions that she could not understand. “Why are you here?”
Bai Xianyu pursed her lips. “The Emperor asked me to come. Am I not allowed to come?”
Xie Xingyun’s grip on her hand gradually tightened as he said in a low voice, “Sure.”
Bai Xianyu looked at him in confusion.
Xie Xingyun said, ”We haven’t set off yet. I’ll go into the palace to see him now. Wait for me to come back and I’ll bring you out of the palace.”
“Are you going to ask for the imperial decree to tell me not to go?”
“Emm.”
However, she had a certain reason to go. If she did not go, then both her Third Brother and her would be avoiding this. It would make people even more suspicious.
Bai Xianyu pushed his hand away with her right hand and said concisely, “There’s no need.”
Xie Xingyun looked into her eyes. “Do you know why he called all of you over?”
“I do.”
“If you knew, why are you still going?” Xie Xingyun said in a low voice, “He wanted to find someone to send over for a marriage alliance. Do you want to marry into Daqing?”
Bai Xianyu did not want to be too involved with him. This was her family’s business and had nothing to do with him to begin with. “I don’t want to, but I also wish to go.”
T he girl was petite and only reached his chest. She did not have any makeup on her face and was still as beautiful as a hibiscus flower. Her face was so beautiful that she could captivate one’s soul with just a casual glance.
Xie Xingyun met her almond-shaped eyes and clenched his fists on the wall. “What if someone takes a fancy to you?”
Bai Xianyu said casually, “So be it.”
Anyway, she had a way not to marry.
Xie Xingyun looked at the girTs indifferent but firm attitude and felt even more dejected. ‘What’s there to attract you?”
“What do you like about Daqing? Ill get someone to send it to your residence. If you want to go to visit the Great Xiangguo Temple, I’ll make arrangements for you after this period of time.”
A team of guards walked past them not far away. Bai Xianyu dodged and frowned slightly. “There s no need. This is my own business.”
With that, she couldn’t care less about her posture. She crawled out from under Xie Xingyun’s armpit and walked straight to the palace at the side.
Xie Xingyun’s gaze was slightly cold, and the feeling of suffocation assailed him again.
After the process was completed, Mo Linyuan led a group of envoy delegates out of the hall.
A woman in extraordinary clothes walked towards Bai Xianyu and the others. Immediately after, Li Changning and Li Changming walked towards them.
The eunuch with the unfamiliar woman smiled and said, “Ladies, this is Princess Chong An of Daqing.”
Bai Xianyu and the five girls bowed.
Mo Xin s gaze inadvertently swept across Bai Xianyu’s face and met her raised eyes.
She smiled. “This girl is so beautiful.”
The eunuch smiled and said, “This is the eldest daughter of the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor. Her surname is Bai.”
With that, he introduced them one by one. Mo Xin bowed, and Li Changning and Li Changming came.
Although Li Changning was confined, because of this special situation, Emperor Wu Xuan postponed her punishment.
Now that she saw Bai Xianyu, her eyes immediately turned red.
Li Changming was much prettier than Li Changning and seemed to have a better temper.
Bai Xianyu did not care about Li Changning’s resentful gaze.
While everyone was exchanging pleasantries, she retreated slightly and sized up Li Changming curiously. In her previous life, Li Changming was deeply in love with his Eldest Brother, Bai Tanshen, but Eldest Brother had no intention of getting married. She was unwilling to get married in the end.
At this moment, a male voice sounded next to them. Bai Xianyu found it familiar. She looked over and saw that it was actually the Daqing man she had met in the Buddha Temple and the hunting ground.
Bai Xianyu turned around and stared at him in surprise.
At this moment, Mo Linyuan noticed her gaze and walked over with a smile. “What a coincidence.”
Bai Xianyu also smiled. “Lin Yuan? I didn’t expect you to be Daqing’s envoy.”
Mo Linyuan smiled without saying anything, but Mo Xin, who was beside him, heard it and smiled meaningfully. “Lin Yuan? Are Miss Bai and my cousin old acquaintances?”
Xie Xingyun’s gaze never left Bai Xianyu, so he could clearly see her smiling at the other man.
And the phrase “Lin Yuan”.
Great. Lin Yuan.’
At this moment, Xie Xingyun felt an unbearable pain in his heart and his eyes swelled.
It turned our that what attracted her was not Daqing’s things, or the Great Xiangguo Temple, but Mo Linyuan.
She had never called him “Xing Yun” in this life..
