He just looked at her who was kneeling in front of him with a big belly, she looked as beautiful and cute as before, her big eyes were full of aura, but her high bulging abdomen, and that cold look, made him feel cold.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Ayin touched him gently, so reasonable, how could she not let a pregnant woman kneel for so long.

"Oh......"

Mu Tianning reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Ling'er,

"Calm down."

He held her shoulder, his eyes fixed on her cheek, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Suddenly, she was taken into her arms by another pair of arms, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Tuoba Jiuxiao.

"Don't bother His Royal Highness the Prince, my woman should be taken care of by me."

His cold words were a declaration of sovereignty.

Mu Tianning's thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and the sword was tense, and the two seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

Lin Ling'er hurriedly walked out of Tuoba Jiuxiao's arms, glanced at him, and then said to Mu Tianning:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave wants to talk to you alone, is it okay?"

When the words fell, she saw that Tuoba Jiuxiao's face darkened and darkened, and Mu Tianning was not much happy.

"Of course."

Mu Tianning responded lightly.

"Okay, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move, can you go to the lake for a walk?"

Lin Ling'er's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was full of deference and detachment.

Mu Tianning glanced at Tuoba Jiuxiao and nodded:

"Okay."

Lin Ling'er followed Mu Tianning and walked out, looking back at Tuoba Jiuxiao, he didn't move, nor did he stop him, she smiled and nodded at him, reassuring him.

It's June, and the weeping willows by the lake have long been revived, stretching their tender green buds in the breeze, admiring the sparkling surface of the lake and the occasional fish jumping out of the water, quietly laughing and laughing.

Lin Ling'er and Mu Tian walked quietly to the lake, there was no one else around, and their hearts were surprisingly calm.

Now standing beside her is no longer the young man who simply loved to laugh before, his face is a little more mature and heroic, although the dark red prince robe shines with dazzling light, it still can't hide the faint melancholy in his eyes.

Time can change a qiē, including a person.

"I really didn't expect that I have known you for only a few months, but you have become a prince, this world is really wonderful, and everything that happens is always so unexpected."

She stood by the lake, the breeze blowing her pale yellow skirt, her long soft hair caressing her face, she looked up at him, with a faint smile in her big black and white eyes, looking at him, but it was so exciting, just like when he first saw her.

He really wanted to reach out and smooth her hair, but the fingers beside him moved, but they never lifted.

He couldn't tell how he was feeling at the moment, he had never forgotten her, he had seen her banished to the snowy mountain, and he had heard that she was still alive, and too many things had happened during her absence, he thought that he would jump for joy when he saw her come back alive, but he was unexpectedly calm.

"Yes, I didn't expect that you were still alive, and I would be able to see you!"

He looked at her deeply, remembering that when he thought she was dead, he had been drunk and dreaming all day, and even wished that he could die like this in his sleep, so that he could see her again.

But at this time, he was glad that he didn't die, if he did, he wouldn't be able to see her now, let alone have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the crown prince.

It was also this crown prince position that brought him a chance and took her away from it.

"I'm still alive, aren't you happy?"

Lin Ling'er smiled very brightly, just like when they first met, their innocent smile was not mixed with a little fakeness.

He seemed to see her in the past, and if it weren't for this unknown belly, he really wanted to take her away now.

Although he was happy, he was always sad in his heart, and he couldn't help but hold her hand:

"How could I be upset? Ling'er, I haven't forgotten about you, I still have a lot of things I don't understand, and I still have a lot of things to say to you......"

"Mu Tianning,"

She interrupted him,

"Can I still call you that?"

"As long as it's you, you can call me anything."

He happily agreed, even though he was already the current crown prince, when facing her, he seemed to have returned to the past, to that innocent moment, listening to her calling Mu Tianning, listening to her singing on the ice, listening to her laughter like silver bells......

But what she was thinking in her heart at the moment was completely different from his.

Pulling her hand out of his hand and carrying her back behind her, she coughed deliberately and said:

"Mu Tianning, since you know that I am not dead and know that I am back, why didn't you come to see me in the first place?"

Her smile was retracted, and her eyes were bright and kind, with a hint of cunning.

"Ling'er, are you blaming me?"

He looked at him and became eager,

"I ...... During the time you came back, I was stuck in the palace, learning how to be a prince, of course I wanted to see you as soon as possible, but, but, but...... I'm going to be so busy with the coronation that I can't get out of the way at all...... I ......"

He spoke incoherently, his brows furrowed tightly together, and his cheeks flushed slightly from panic.

She couldn't hold back a laugh and interrupted him:

"Okay, don't be in a hurry to explain, I'm not blaming you, I just want you to see your heart, in your heart, what is most important to you."

"Bell ......"

He seemed to understand what she meant, but he still wanted to get a different answer from her mouth, and he hoped that he was wrong.

"What do you want to say?"

She looked at the rippling lake, and gradually became serious:

"Tianning, maybe you don't like me as much as you think, it's just an obsession, just like people who want to eat when they're hungry and drink water when they're thirsty, I just appeared at the age when you first fell in love, at that time, you need a feeling, and I may appear just right, just like people in the desert see water, so you chose me to fill your emotional vacancy."

She smiled and turned to look at him,

"Actually, in your heart, the position of the crown prince is more important than me, you can put me aside for the sake of being crowned the crown prince, doesn't that explain the problem?"

In fact, she didn't know if what she said was right, and she didn't know if such words would hurt Mu Tianning's heart, whether she was induced or deliberate, she just wanted to break his thoughts in a way that Mu Tianning could accept.

She doesn't want him to hate and misunderstand Tuoba Jiuxiao all the time, and she doesn't want him to have hope for her all the time, because that hope will never come true, and now that the facts are simple and clear, why let him waste time and feelings again?

seemed to be stimulated by her words, and Mu Tianning was in a hurry to explain:

"No, Ling'er, it's not what you think. I didn't come to you, not only because of the coronation, but also because I heard that the king of Hades had taken you for himself, whether you wanted it or was forced, I had to be strong enough to come to you and save you, doesn't that explain why I came to see you after I became the prince? ”

He has a normal idea that if he wants to get something, he has to be stronger than the owner who owns it.

But he was wrong, people are not things, and if you want to have her, it is not who is stronger, or who is richer, whose status is more noble, because there is no need to compare at all, who she loves, who can have her.

Smiling, she said:

"This is another question I want to tell you, if you like someone and want to keep her by your side, you can't just rob her, even if your status today is more than that of Hades, but you can rob my people, you can't snatch my heart."

After a pause, she saw that Mu Tianning's face was changing little by little, from the anxiety just now to nervous and helpless.

But what she had to say, she had to say:

"Because the person I love is Tuoba Jiuxiao, not you. Forgive me for saying it so bluntly, it's better to reject a person. ”

Mu Tianning's body stiffened, and the sudden tightening of his heart was suffocating.

He took a step back and locked her eyes firmly:

"No, I don't forgive! Ling'er, have you forgotten that the night before you were banished to the snowy mountain, you came to me and said something to me? ”

He never forgot what she had said to him that night, and it was these words that made him feel numb every time he thought about them, and he still didn't know what they meant.

thought that no one would solve the puzzle for him in this life, but now that he sees Lin Ling'er again, he must figure it out.

Lin Ling'er shook her head:

"I haven't forgotten."

That night, when she learned the news that Yun Chengcheng was pregnant, in order to leave the palace, she stood outside the gate of Chongxiao Pavilion in the wind and snow and waited for a long time, just to get back the disguise tool.

It's a pity that she didn't wait for Cloud Fall City, because Tuoba Jiuxiao gave a death order, and no one was allowed to disturb her.

At that time, she hated the root of her teeth, thinking that he was going to reunite with Yun Chengcheng, but later learned that he had simply seen through her mind and wanted to keep her, so he ruthlessly let her stand outside the door for so long and ignore her.

She couldn't get out of the mansion because she couldn't get the disguise tool, so she went to Mu Tianning in desperation, she said that she was going to marry him and marry tomorrow, but in fact, she was just using her and using him to take herself out of the palace.

As a result, he didn't marry him, but was exiled to the snowy mountains.

She did owe Mu Tianning an explanation and an apology.

"Mu Tianning, in fact, that night, I was just using you, I'm sorry."

"Y-What do you say? Exploit? ”

"Yes."

Facing Mu Tianning's incredulous gaze and hurt expression, she felt very guilty,

"I said I wanted to marry you, but I just wanted to use the opportunity to marry you to leave the palace. At that time, I learned the news that Yun Chengcheng was pregnant, thinking that she was pregnant with the child of Hades, although I was also pregnant with the child of Hades at that time, but you know me, I would rather be broken than broken, if I was asked to share the same man with other women, I would rather be heartbroken and choose to give up than compromise. But the Hades King has blocked the palace, he won't let me go, and if I want to leave, I can only rely on you. ”
