Xiao Qiran rarely revealed such a young look.

The man in front of her had his back to the flickering flame, his lips were red and his teeth white, and a smile was on his face. The man in front of her had his back to the flickering flame, and his lips red and his teeth white, and a smile was on his face.

Only when the fingertip slid down the back of his neck did Xiao Qiran's hand pause slightly.

Gu Mingyan then raised up her pair of peach blossom eyes, and looked over with a similar smile, a hand gently resting on his thigh. Patting the spot he had kicked just now, her voice was clear and crisp: "Your Highness is truly a hot-blooded young man, it's fine if you laugh more everyday, to be able to attract so many beauties."

The upper part of the fingertip was the wound that she had cut open with her own hands.

Xiao Qiran did not stop there. Instead, he pinched the bottom of her neck, and drew across the scar left behind by the blade. It was often concealed by her long hair or her overly tall collar, and was difficult to detect.

His eyes turned cold. "This scar …"

"The village was only injured by bandits when I was young. Although mother protected me, in the end she still left a mark. The long scar on mother's arm is still there."

Gu Mingyan finally snapped out of his daze and grabbed Xiao Qiran's arm, he then raised his hand to touch that place, only leaving a scar the length of a finger. Perhaps it was because he was a child, but the scar was on his spine, and it did not have any good wounds, which was why a scar was left behind.

Xiao Qiran wanted to say more, but he saw Gu Mingyan retracted his hand and leaned forward on the bed, he raised his head and looked at him: "Since you said it, and he touched me, then I will kick you, does Your Highness want to investigate?"

That pair of big eyes flickered, making Xiao Qiran laugh out loud. He brushed away the dust on his clothes, and raised his eyebrows: "Now you know fear?"

After laughing and not saying a word, Gu Mingyan rubbed his head in embarrassment.

If she wasn't in a rush, she wouldn't have kicked him down.

Xiao Qiran only tapped her forehead and said softly: "But the engagement will still be annulled."

The glimmer in Gu Mingyan's eyes gradually disappeared, while he lightly smiled as he pinched her chin and shook it, and said helplessly: "Don't forget, you still want to find a quiet place far from the Shengan to wash off this poison."

Only then did Gu Mingyan realize that it was really because of love.

"In addition, Meng Lanhui is the daughter of the Grand Commandant and one of the three great beauties of Shengan. However, Grand Commandant has always been on good terms with the Madam Liu Clan, and has the intention of marrying Meng Lan Lan to me. I'm afraid that the Prime Minister's thoughts are not very good, and I'm afraid that the outcome of this matter will depend on the Grand Commandant and the Prime Minister's competition. "

The emperor was not the only one who could decide the marriage.

Upon hearing these words, it was actually Gu Mingyan who laughed softly instead, "Aunt and Father both want me to rope you in. It is likely that they will not let go of me easily on this matter. "But that Meng Lanhua …"

Seeing her stuttering manner, Xiao Qiran could not help but ask: "Jealous?"

"Why are you eating the vinegar of beauties? I heard that she was born with an extremely good look. Although she is a dignified young miss, deep down, she is extremely proud and heroic. If she were to enter your mansion, I would like to meet her. " Gu Mingyan's eyes all lit up.

Xiao Qiran took a deep breath helplessly, and raised his eyebrows: "Then can you anger the pleasure boat?"

"Isn't it fine to be angry with myself?" Gu Mingyan held his neck and spoke, but his ears started to turn red because he felt guilty.

Just as Xiao Qiran was about to force others to tell him the truth, he raised his eyebrows and flipped over the edge of the bed.

Gu Mingyan took the opportunity to pull her down, causing Gu Mingyan to pretend that the book he had not finished reading was loose in his hands, and turned his body to completely block Xiao Qiran.

Xiao Qiran did not even take off his shoes.

Gu Mingyan revealed a look of disgust.

The door was slowly pushed open. The footsteps did not come closer, they just blew out the candle and muttered something. Then they heard the sound of the wooden box being opened and the sound of the jewelry being opened.

If Xiao Qiran had not grabbed her wrist, she would have stood up and fought with her life on the line against Qiu Mei.

That was her property!

After a while, everything calmed down, Xiao Qiran also got up from the bed, easily flipping back to the bed, only to see Gu Mingyan lifting up his blanket and jumping down, opening the jewelry box, carefully searching for it.

"What's missing?"

"My boss said that little pearl peach blossom hairpin is worth thirty taels of silver, and it's also missing two jade bracelets. So it would be worth at least ten taels of silver."

Closing the jewelry box, Gu Mingyan lightly tapped the wooden box with his fingertip. "Moreover, I haven't seen those two emerald bangles for a long time …"

A mere few dozen silver coins was nothing in Xiao Qiran's eyes.

However, the candle in the room had not been extinguished yet, but she still dared to enter and steal something, and she was afraid that Gu Mingyan would not know when she could take something much more important.

Turning his head, he saw Gu Mingyan taking out a few of the more expensive pieces of jewelry from the jewelry box and placing it on the table. She tapped her chin lightly twice with her finger, and with a slight wave of her hand, she absorbed all of the jewelry into the space.

"Since she wants to steal it, she naturally has to know fear."

As Gu Mingyan spoke, his mouth twitched, and he placed the scroll on the table. He then straightened his clothes, and seeing that Xiao Qiran was still sitting at the side of the bed, he raised his eyebrows: Why are you still not leaving?

"You only spoke a few words of your own and you want me to leave?"

Xiao Qiran, on the other hand, found it funny and laid on the bed with both his hands behind his head.

And without getting angry, Gu Mingyan could only sigh and sit down. In the dusky room, she was unable to clearly see Xiao Qiran's expression, and could only helplessly say: "Even if the marriage didn't work, you are already a prince at the age of marriage."

"But no one believes I can achieve great things."

Xiao Qiran then raised his hand and knocked on his thigh.

Although he could walk like a normal person when he used inner force, his appearance was more like a strange lightness skill, he did not make any noise, and he could not even train with his legs, and could only practice with his blade, but even so, it still took him several times more time and inner strength than other people.

Gu Mingyan could not help but sneer. "No wonder there aren't many peach blossoms around you."

Although he was not infatuated with love, he had never experienced the feeling of being loved by anyone. As the prince himself did not have anyone he liked, and even Shuang Hua had once reminded him to not be too serious on the outside, and to not hide the killing intent he got from the battle on the battlefield.

Just as Xiao Qiran was thinking, he heard Gu Mingyan speaking in a low voice.

"However, if your leg can't be cured, then I'll be at ease and like it."
