Lynn hid a scoff as Feng Xin narrowed his eyes, still staring at the girl on the screen. 

He was sure he knew her from somewhere but where? 

Lang‌ ‌Qianqiu‌ ‌blushed‌ ‌the‌ ‌moment‌ ‌he‌ ‌saw‌ ‌women;‌ ‌

Qian Qiu looked slightly embarrassed, taking note of it as he wondered if he should train this obvious weakness.  

Mu‌ ‌Qing‌ ‌refused‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌ugly‌ ‌women;‌ ‌

"I like how it was emphasized." Ling Wen deadpanned as Mu Qing looked away.

when‌ ‌Pei‌ ‌Su‌ ‌saw‌ ‌women‌ ‌he'd‌ ‌be‌ ‌expressionless‌ ‌but‌ ‌who‌ ‌knows‌ ‌what‌ ‌he's‌ ‌actually‌ ‌thinking;‌ ‌

Pei Su shrugged. Why would he mind women when he was too busy? Besides, he already had someone in mind all these time.

Quan‌ ‌Yizhen‌ ‌didn't‌ ‌even‌ ‌have‌ ‌women‌ ‌on‌ ‌his‌ ‌mind;‌ ‌

"Why would I?" Yizhen yawned.

and‌ ‌Pei‌ ‌Ming's‌ ‌mind‌ ‌was‌ ‌all‌ ‌women.‌ ‌

"Not all!" Pei Ming protested.

If‌ ‌Xie‌ ‌Lian‌ ‌made‌ ‌his‌ ‌excuses‌ ‌now,‌ ‌no‌ ‌doubt‌ ‌his‌ ‌name‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌added‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌list.‌ ‌ ‌

Xie‌ ‌Lian‌ ‌said‌ ‌earnestly,‌ ‌"My‌ ‌lady‌ ‌Lan‌ ‌Chang,‌ ‌please‌ ‌calm‌ ‌down.‌ ‌There's‌ ‌definitely‌ ‌no‌ ‌such‌ ‌possibility."‌ ‌ ‌

Lan‌ ‌Chang's‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌were‌ ‌bulged‌ ‌bigger‌ ‌than‌ ‌bells,‌ ‌"Yes,‌ ‌there‌ ‌is.‌ ‌It's‌ ‌you,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Crown‌ ‌Prince‌ ‌of‌ ‌Xianle!"‌ ‌ ‌

"..."‌ ‌

"Pfft." some couldn't help it but laugh at Xie Lian's expression.

"It's alright, Gege." Hua Cheng comforted the withering man.

Even‌ ‌though‌ ‌the‌ ‌timing‌ ‌of‌ ‌when‌ ‌this‌ ‌woman‌ ‌died‌ ‌was‌ ‌after‌ ‌his‌ ‌ascension‌ ‌and‌ ‌could‌ ‌maybe‌ ‌match‌ ‌up,‌ ‌but‌ ‌wouldn't‌ ‌he‌ ‌know‌ ‌better‌ ‌than‌ ‌anyone‌ ‌whether‌ ‌if‌ ‌he'd‌ ‌met‌ ‌her‌ ‌before?‌ ‌

Those who knew him agreed. Xie Lian always did have a great memory.

In‌ ‌between‌ ‌all‌ ‌the‌ ‌whispering‌ ‌around,‌ ‌Xie‌ ‌Lian‌ ‌became‌ ‌solemn‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌sternly,‌ ‌"My‌ ‌lady,‌ ‌I‌ ‌may‌ ‌not‌ ‌be‌ ‌a‌ ‌saint,‌ ‌but‌ ‌I‌ ‌still‌ ‌know‌ ‌of‌ ‌a‌ ‌faithful‌ ‌heart.‌ ‌If‌ ‌I‌ ‌don't‌ ‌love‌ ‌someone,‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌never‌ ‌cross‌ ‌any‌ ‌lines‌ ‌with‌ ‌that‌ ‌person.‌ ‌If‌ ‌I‌ ‌do,‌ ‌then‌ ‌even‌ ‌if‌ ‌I‌ ‌must‌ ‌beg‌ ‌and‌ ‌collect‌ ‌junk,‌ ‌busk‌ ‌and‌ ‌perform‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌streets‌ ‌to‌ ‌feed‌ ‌my‌ ‌family,‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌still‌ ‌never‌ ‌allow‌ ‌that‌ ‌person‌ ‌to‌ ‌suffer‌ ‌any‌ ‌bit‌ ‌of‌ ‌grievances.‌ ‌

'And you won't have to experience any of that anymore.' Hua Cheng thought with determination.

You‌ ‌are‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌Great‌ ‌Martial‌ ‌Palace,‌ ‌do‌ ‌not‌ ‌speak‌ ‌falsehoods."‌ ‌ ‌
