Closing her eyes, there was no fear on her face from escaping from the side of death. Instead, an expression of enjoyment surfaced on her face. She quietly leaned on the chest of a certain man, unwilling to open her eyes.

"Small... Wake up! Wake up! " The man whispered a small name and rubbed his hand painfully across the sea in front of his forehead. There was a hint of reproach in his expression. If he had come out earlier, he might not have let this scene occur.

What was this little girl doing here, not sleeping in the middle of the night? Fortunately, when he passed by earlier, he saw them sneaking out of the Worryfree House dressed like servants. He thought they were thieves, so he followed them. When he arrived at the pool, he took advantage of the moonlight to clearly see that it was actually this little girl.

Big luck! "If he didn't come, this little girl would definitely have lost her life to see tomorrow's sun. I wonder if big brother would be happy or happy?" Ling'er paid her respects to Lord Third! Ling'er followed him, looking at the man in surprise. She respectfully gave him a great bow.

"Forget it!" It turned out that the one who had followed them was none other than the insomniac Xuanyuan Ye.

No wonder, there was a very warm feeling. His little head was clear, but he didn't want to open his eyes. She liked the distance. If she could lie quietly in his arms and smell his scent, then her heart would be strangely calm.

Moreover, it seemed that this was the first time he had ever called her by her name so gently. Hearing it, her heart felt like it was being exposed to the sun, warm, comfortable, and enjoyable.

"Empress …" "Esteemed Empress …" Ling'er could tell that her master was already awake, but she didn't want to open her eyes, so she could only call out to him softly.

It was no wonder that any woman would be tempted to stay in Xuanyuan Ye's embrace when facing such an outstanding and gentle man. However, the mistress was the princess consort after all. If she were to be caught red-handed by the servants, her reputation would turn ugly. Not only that, it would also affect the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince.

She did not open her eyes. She wanted to see what Xuanyuan Ye could do to her. Xuanyuan Ye was indeed very worried about Xiao Xiao, but seeing the happiness on her face, he could tell that she had been awake all this time.

Identity, his identity. He reminded himself that he had to keep a distance between them. Although he was reluctant to part with this feeling, he also had to let it go.

"Ling'er, come and hug the esteemed one." He opened his mouth reluctantly, his eyes revealing a look of reluctance.

"No …" "No!" Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes wide. Her eyes were bloodshot from being soaked in the water just now. She deeply looked at Xuanyuan Ye, tightly holding his warm hand. She had once again returned to that night of parting.

He was lying in her arms, looking at her with the last of his strength. On that dreary night, with the last trace of a happy smile at the corners of his mouth, the outline of him disappeared forever as the meteor streaked across the sky.

No! She couldn't let go. She couldn't let go. If he let go, he would never be able to come back.

Tightly, tightly, holding his hand, she shook her head out of control.

Xuanyuan Ye didn't know why Xiaoxiao was so excited, but from her deep emotional expression, he seemed to see another figure, a man who looked exactly like himself. However, the man was not dressed like the people in this place.

Who is he? That figure was really familiar, just like how he was in his previous life.

She reached out her hands and suddenly hugged Xuanyuan Ye's neck tightly. She couldn't help but cry as she muttered to herself, "Don't go, I beg you, don't go. Don't leave me alone, sob …" She cried, calling out to him. The sound of her crying was filled with the pain of having been piled up for too long. In the silent night, she vented out wantonly in his arms.

Xuanyuan Ye's body stiffened as he numbly opened his arms. He did not greet them with a warm embrace. This was because he was currently at a loss.

Was it last night's nightmare? She dreamed of herself. She dreamed that they would be together … No! No! She was Eldest Sister-in-Law, Eldest Brother's woman. He could not be like second brother, so he could only choose to let go and force himself to stay away.

"Elder sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law, wake up. It's okay, it's okay." He had purposely changed his name to sister-in-law so that Ling'er would understand her current identity.

The word 'sister-in-law' was like a clap of thunder that brought a small, cruel name back to reality. Subconsciously, she opened her eyes and saw Ling'er standing at her side, stunned.

Oh no! He must have made a fool of himself just now. There was no helping it, after all, those memories were too deep, and they were exactly the same. Other than his appearance, he still looked gentle and gentle like a gentleman.

Under the cover of the dark night of the moon, no one could tell who it was. Helplessly releasing her hands, she coughed a few times before leaving the warm embrace. Seeing his gaze, there was no longer any trace of him in her eyes. Instead, there was pure reluctance to part ways with Xuanyuan Ye.

Seeing his teary eyes, Xuanyuan Ye couldn't help but ask with deep concern, "Eldest sister-in-law, are you alright?" Hm! "Thank you!" Xiaoxiao found it hard to accept reality, especially the word 'sister-in-law'. The more she heard, the more harsh it became.

F * ck! Being with a man like Xuanyuan Qi, what was the difference between him and a widow? Until now, there had been no physical intimacy between them. She had watched countless times as he put on A shows, from his initial numbness to the slight feeling that she didn't know if he would one day join the ranks of the resentful wives.

Go on and die! Perhaps after crossing over and becoming Xuanyuan Ye's concubine, her days could not be imagined.

Such a considerate man, what a pity. It was unknown what kind of woman could be blessed by him with his love and concern.

Sigh … He probably wouldn't have a chance in his life.

Xuanyuan Ye propped Xiaoxiao up from the ground and walked out from the shock he had just felt. His hidden curiosity was piqued once more, "Sister-in-law, why did you come to this Lotus Pond without sleeping in the middle of the night?" "Humph!" It was fine if he didn't mention it, but when he did, he was filled with anger. She shook his dripping hair and raised his little fist in anger.

"Could it be that Imperial Brother, he …" Xuanyuan Ye had heard that a large fire had been ignited in the Dragon's Cine Hall two days ago. In one night, his big brother's house had been completely burnt into pitch black darkness. The next day, Big Bro carried Blue Rain Smoke into the Worryfree Residence and took all the servants out of the small courtyard. Strangely, the matter was kept quiet, and he did not hear any rumors about it.

Could it be that she was the one who set the fire? Powerful! She even dared to burn the Crown Prince's room. Her courage was not only normal. Her eyes were full of admiration for her. He was speechless.

"You … You heard of it too. " Judging from Xuanyuan Ye's expression, Xiaoxiao felt that he should know about the burning of the harem.

Xuanyuan Ye nodded his head. Suddenly, he remembered that the house had been burnt down that night when they were roasting meat. Could it be that after they had left that night, she had performed some astonishing feat again?

Xuanyuan Ye nodded his head as he was about to eat his fill. Suddenly, he remembered that the time he had been burned was the night they had barbecued their meat. Could it be that she had performed something amazing one night after they had left?
