In the afternoon, Lian Zhi and Wen Yunxi went to visit Wen Zhiyuan together. When they arrived at the East Palace, they saw Wen Zhiyuan and Wen Zhilan playing chess.

Wen Zhiyuan looked much better. When he saw Lian Zhi and Wen Yunxi, he immediately put down the chess pieces and stood up with a smile: "You two came here to see me?"

"I haven't seen the prince brother since I returned to the palace, and I feel worried." Wen Yunxi asked someone to put down the supplements, "You played chess with brother Zhilan, who won?"

Lian Zhi looked at the chess game: "Yunxi, the fifth prince doesn't seem to be going well right now."

"Brother Zhilan's chess skills are not as good as the prince's, so it's normal for things not to go well." Wen Yunxi sat down, looked at the pastries on the table, picked up a piece and started eating.

Wen Zhilan was no longer interested in playing chess: "Now the three of you will join forces to bully me."

"Brother Zhilan, I'm not bullying you. You usually lose more than you win when playing chess with the prince brother." Wen Yunxi complained.

"Fan Ninghuai is here today, have you met him?" Wen Zhilan asked.

Wen Yunxi nodded: "We also had breakfast together."

"You two are having breakfast with Fan Ninghuai?" The expression on Wen Zhilan's face was a little frozen.

Wen Yunxi quickly explained: "Brother Zhilan, don't think too much. At that time, Wanyang and I met the eldest and second emperor brothers when we came out of Wuyang Palace. They were taking the regent around, so we

We had breakfast together."

"Did the Prince Regent say anything?"

"That regent doesn't talk much, but from what he says, he really wants to meet the prince's brother."

Wen Zhiyuan was a little surprised: "He is so anxious to see me?"

Wen Yunxi thought about it carefully: "I'm not too anxious, but the prince's brother is marrying Wanyang, so it's normal for him to want to meet her."

"Wen Yunxi, I can't stop your mouth even if I eat it." Lian Zhi stuffed a piece of pastry into Wen Yunxi's mouth. Wen Yunxi was speechless and stared at Lian Zhi, who laughed.

"Since you two had breakfast with them, you can have dinner with us today before leaving." Wen Zhilan said. Wen Yunxi wanted to say something, but there was cake in her mouth, so she could only nod.

agree.

Wen Yunxi was very interested in playing chess and pestered Wen Zhilan to teach her how to play chess. It happened that Wen Zhiyuan took Lian Zhi for a walk in the East Palace during his free time.

"Fan Ninghuai didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Wen Zhiyuan asked.

Lian Zhi knew that Wen Zhiyuan was concerned about her: "Even if he makes things difficult for me, I'm not afraid of him."

"The marriage between you and me is approaching, are you ready?" Wen Zhiyuan asked, he asked very seriously.

Lian Zhi stopped and looked at Wen Zhiyuan: "I have been prepared since the day I came to Xichu."

Wen Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I shouldn't have asked this question."

"It's nothing. It's normal for you to be worried. It's just that I think Emperor Chu is so guarded against you now. It may not be a good thing for you to marry me."

Wen Zhiyuan did not answer Lian Zhi's words: "Father, the emperor specially held a banquet for Fan Ninghuai's arrival, but it was quite special."

"What do you mean?" Lian Zhi was a little curious.

"My father plans to let Fan Ninghuai meet the young masters of the Western Chu family. You should understand the purpose without me telling you."

Emperor Chu's move was simply to show Fan Ninghuai the grace of a man from Xichu. Lian Zhi felt uneasy. She knew Fan Ninghuai's abilities very well and hoped that Emperor Chu would not be embarrassed when the time came.

The afternoon passed quickly, and when it was time for dinner, Lian Zhi looked at the dishes on the table and looked at Wen Zhiyuan with some surprise.

Wen Zhiyuan asked: "What, don't you like it?"

Lian Zhi shook his head. Half of the dishes on the table were her favorites, and the other dishes were also in line with Wen Yunxi's taste. It was not surprising that Wen Zhiyuan knew Wen Yunxi's taste, but how could he know his own?

Like?

Wen Zhilan looked at the dishes on the table: "Third brother, you are too partial. I have so many favorite dishes. Why did you only ask the small kitchen to make these one or two dishes? How could you treat Yunxi and Wan

Is Yang so good?"

Wen Zhilan didn't know what Lian Zhi liked to eat, but he knew at a glance that half of the dishes on the table must be Lian Zhi's favorite, after all, these dishes were rarely seen on the table before.

"You've been cheating on me so many times, what's wrong with you once?" Wen Zhiyuan teased.

Lian Zhi asked: "How do you know I like to eat these dishes? I never told you."

"You've told me everything. What do you want me to do? Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to tell the kitchen directly?" Wen Zhiyuan explained, "I've had dinner with you several times before, and you like to order these dishes."

Lian Zhi knew that it was not just that, I was afraid that Wen Zhiyuan would notice if he took more than a few bites of any dish, so he also understood his own taste.

The four of them had dinner together. Wen Zhiyuan wanted to send Lian Zhi back, but Lian Zhi refused: "You haven't recovered from your injury yet. Why don't you rest quickly? I'll go with Yun Xi, and there are so many palace people following me."

,What are you worried about?"

Wen Zhiyuan thought for a while: "In that case, I won't give it to you."

Wen Zhilan had to leave the palace, and Wen Yunxi and Lian Zhi were not on the same road, so in the end Wen Yunxi and Lian Zhi left the East Palace together.

Wen Yunxi ate a bit too much at night, so she walked slowly, saying she needed to eat.

"Wanyang, do you think I will become a fat man if I continue to eat like this?" Wen Yunxi was a little worried.

Lian Zhi shook his head helplessly: "No, you are already thin. I really don't know where all the food you ate before went."

"Actually, I wasn't so good at eating before. Since you came, I can eat better than before." Wen Yunxi added, "But my mother is very happy to see me like this recently. She used to be afraid that I would be blown away by the wind.

Just pour it."

"You were indeed too thin before."

"Speaking of this, I thought of a person."

"who?"

"Jin Nanyi, the eldest son of Pingbohou Mansion, how many sins do you think he has suffered since he was a child?" Thinking of the thin Ji Nanyi, Wen Yunxi suddenly felt sad in her heart, "With his family background,

, he should have been the emperor's favored son, but because of an illness, he has to live at home all year round without being able to leave. It's really pitiful."

"I rarely hear you mention that young master from an aristocratic family to me. Why did you suddenly mention Ji Nanyi?" Lian Zhi felt that Wen Yunxi was unusual.

Wen Yunxi shook her head, with a depressed look on her face: "I don't know, I just thought of him suddenly. Maybe it's because his chess skills are as bad as mine?"

Lian Zhi was speechless. Perhaps Wen Yunxi was the only one who believed that Ji Nanyi's chess skills were poor!

The two separated at a fork in the road, and Lian Zhi returned to Yuyang Palace. Just as Su Yue was about to open the door of the bedroom for her, Lian Zhi suddenly said: "Su Yue, you all should step aside first."

Su Yue didn't know why, so Lian Zhi explained: "I want to stay by myself for a while, you all should go down first."

After hearing what Lian Zhi said, Su Yue left with a few palace attendants. Lian Zhi pushed open the door to the bedroom and walked in. After closing the door, she turned around and saw a person sitting on a chair. Looking in the dark

This figure is indeed a bit scary.

Lian Zhi went to light the lamp with a normal expression: "The Prince Regent is really interested in visiting Yuyang Palace so late at night."

When the lamp was lit, Lian Zhi turned around and looked at Fan Ninghuai who was sitting on the chair. Fan Ninghuai just looked at her quietly.

Lian Zhi urged: "If the regent has nothing to say, then leave quickly."

Fan Ninghuai smiled: "Your temper is much more impatient than before, and it doesn't look like you anymore."

"It's not that I'm impatient, it's that I don't want to see you." Lian Zhi looked at Fan Ninghuai as if he were a stranger.

"Lian Zhi, you are still ruthless!"

"Lian Zhi? I haven't heard anyone call me this name for a long time." Lian Zhi smiled and looked at Fan Ninghuai, "Did the Regent come here today just to remind me of my identity? The Regent is a noble man who forgets things. He must have forgotten it.

That's what you said when you asked me to replace Lin Wanyang and kiss Xichu. It doesn't matter, I can remind you!"

Lian Zhi's smile fell in Fan Ninghuai's eyes, which was unusually dazzling. At this moment, he remembered many things and what he had said to Lian Zhi.

"Lian Zhi, do you hate me so much?" Fan Ninghuai stood up and approached Lian Zhi step by step, "Have you forgotten that it was me who saved you? Without me, you would have died on the streets of Dongxia.

.You promised me that you would never betray me in this life!"

Listening to Fan Ninghuai's words, Lian Zhi only felt ironic: "Fan Ninghuai, did I betray you? You abandoned me first, so I left you. Once I leave, I will never look back."

"So you don't miss your old relationship at all?"

"Fan Ninghuai, the thing I regret most in my life is meeting you on the streets of Dongxia. If I had known what would happen next, I would not have been willing to step into your palace even if I had died there." Lian Zhi's tone was terrifyingly calm.

, "I have killed too many people in order to live. Am I the only one who wants to live? Don't those who died under my sword want to live? It was you, Fan Ninghuai, who led me to a road of no return.
