"Who doesn't feel sorry for her? It's just that she regards this scar as her honor."

For Gu Qin, this scar became the key to unlocking her shackles.

Even if the Gu family found her out by then, they would not be able to get her married again if she was disfigured.

What's more, she has already made great achievements.

An hour later, Gu Qin happily ran to the teahouse.

"Xunxun!"

As soon as they met, Gu Qin hugged her excitedly.

"came back."

An Kexun hugged back gently, his eyes calm.

"Yeah! I miss you so much."

Gu Qin's character was even more carefree. He helped An Kexun and let her sit on a chair, holding hands and chatting about household matters.

"Did the Gu family find anything?"

"No! I'm dark and strong now, and there's a terrible scar on my face. How could you recognize me?"

Gu Qin looked proud and didn't care whether she looked beautiful or not.

"You, you, are working too hard."

An Kexun looked at the scars on her face and neck with distress, and couldn't help sighing.

"Cough, cough, cough!!"

Just as he opened his mouth to say something more, he couldn't stop coughing.

"What's going on?"

Gu Qin looked at An Kexun, who was about to cough out his lungs, and looked at Xiaoju in confusion.

"Miss, she..."

Just as Xiao Ju was about to say something, she was stopped by An Kexun's eyes.

"Miss?"

Gu Qin discovered something suspicious.

Why did Xiaoju’s name for An Kexun change?

"Because I was away, I asked her to call me Miss."

Although they all have reasons to prevaricate, Gu Qin is not a fool.

She could see that An Kexun was hiding something from her.

I said in my letter that I had moved out of the palace to relax.

So what did she meet in the palace? What happened? Her body was ruined like this.

After An Kexun got better, Gu Qin held her hand.

"Xunxun, are there many things that you didn't tell me in the letter?"

An Kexun shook his head, looked out the window, and then gave Gu Qin a look.

Gu Qin also knew that the walls had ears, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help but be shocked.

That means that the emperor must have known about his correspondence with An Kexun. The emperor knew about it but did nothing to him, which means...

The emperor knew that he was a daughter.

An Kexun gave her a shushing gesture and told her not to ask or say anything until she thought about it.

"You know that some things are not good for you. What we have to do now is to celebrate your triumphant return."

"Suffering."

Gu Qin looked at her distressedly, his eyes full of pity.

That dog emperor didn't treat her well and forced her to leave the palace.

Why don't you bring Xunxun back yourself?

At noon, An Kexun got in the car and went back to the house.

Walking around for a day was already the limit of her body, and she would probably faint if she stayed any longer.

Gu Qin also wanted to attend the banquet in the palace and was the first to go.

But tonight, because there were too many people in the palace, only Qin Lin was left among the five guards to guard An Kexun.

An Kexun, who was resting in the room, walked to the window and shouted softly:

"Qin Lin."

"Miss, what are your orders?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Lin appeared at the window.

"It's nothing. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake today tastes very good. I don't have much appetite, so it would be a pity to leave it there. So I put a few portions in oil paper and you can take it and eat it with the other four brothers."

As An Kexun spoke, he handed the bag containing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Qin Lin with a smile.

Qin Lin stretched out his hand, ready to refuse, but when he raised his eyes, he saw her somewhat lonely eyes, and her words changed to:

"Qin Lin thanked the lady for them."

Hearing this, An Kexun stretched his eyebrows happily and nodded.

After An Kexun closed the window, Qin Lin climbed to the roof, took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake wrapped in oil paper, and took a bite.

Very sweet but not greasy.

"I bet the guard will eat all the sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"

"The host is so good at it. I give you full marks for this secret flirtation."

"The poor little guard just walked into the anchor's trap~"

Looking at the barrage, An Kexun raised his lips in a funny way.

After calculating the time, I guessed that Gu Qin was coming.

Qin Lin was eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake when he saw a black shadow turning into the yard.

"who!"

He immediately stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his arms, jumped off the roof, and started fighting with the man.

"I'm here to see Xunxun!"

Without deliberately lowering her voice, Gu Qin sounded her original daughter's voice.

Qin Lin loosened the sword in his hand, frowned and asked:

"Why don't you take the main entrance?"

"I act like a man now and go through the main entrance. Doesn't that damage Xunxun's reputation?!"

"Don't move, I'll go ask the lady."

With a warning in his eyes, Qin Lin slowly retreated to the door of An Kexun's room and knocked a few times.

"What's wrong?"

An Kexun's inquiry came from inside the house.

"Miss, someone wants to see you."

"That's my close friend, Qin Lin, please let her in quickly."

"yes…"

Qin Lin nodded and waved to Gu Qin.

An Kexun opened the door, welcomed Gu Qin into the room, and looked at Qin Lin with some confusion.

"What are your orders, Miss?"

Qin Lin saw that she seemed to be worried and asked proactively.

"Can you not report tonight's matter to the Emperor...? Of course, this is your task, I won't force you. I just don't want the Emperor to be distracted by me."

An Kexun looked pitifully into Qin Lin's eyes, pleading.

"…good."

Qin Lin knew that this was inappropriate, but he still agreed.

After all, An Kexun was devoted to the emperor, and all decisions he made were for the emperor's consideration.
