was shocked by Xiao Suchen's sensational statement, and his face turned pale and his soul was not possessed. After a while, An leisurely came to her senses, and finally found her voice back.

"He's just a child......" The difficult words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, and An stammered leisurely, "And I'm ...... older than him, and all we have between us is sister and brother!" ”

O conscience of heaven and earth! She never wanted the old cow to eat tender grass, and she didn't want to be treated as a pervert who was hungry and didn't want to be hungry and needed to hurt a thirteen-year-old child!

Seeing that she was trembling with fright, Xiao Suchen was secretly amused in his heart. This palace banquet is indeed a foreshadowing for the crown prince's choice of concubine, but it is his exaggerated alarmism to say that An Youran was selected as a concubine. Yelu Yimo has a good impression of An Youran, and everyone knows it, just from the various performances at this banquet, it is self-evident. But if it is said that this alone can allow An to enter the East Palace, it is a bit eye-catching.

Today's crown princess must be the future queen of a country, not only needs to have both ability and political integrity, but more importantly, this woman must have a family background that consolidates imperial power and stabilizes the country! Looking at the dynasties of Lingbei, which queen is not the daughter of a prominent family? If it weren't for the family's pivotal position in the court, it would be behind the generals who held heavy troops and dominated one side! And these most critical weights are exactly what An Youran does not have! The Ling family to which Ling Biluo belongs is thin and powerless, if it is unfortunate to lose this, Xiao Suchen is really a little worried that An Youran will be selected by the royal family as a concubine. Because Emperor Yeluqi's appreciation for her is absolutely undoubted, the jade Ruyi, which is regarded as a cumbersome waste material in An Youran's eyes, is actually a relic of the former emperor, if it is not for her extreme favor, he will never give her love and reward.

Although it should be hopeless to establish a concubine, it is not impossible for him to become a concubine one day. Even if it weren't, An Youran's light song and dance today, peerless elegance, how many aristocratic men present were obsessed and intoxicated? Xiao Suchen is a man, so he knows better than anyone what the fanatical look in the eyes of those men when they look at An Youran means: in addition to their love and admiration, they are more hidden ambitions!

Therefore...... It's too dangerous! From the first time he saw An Youran today, Xiao Suchen knew that she would be the most brilliant diamond in everyone's eyes! The brilliance that can't be concealed, the elegance that can't be hidden, is bound to make her the object of pursuit by men in the world; So that she can no longer be the obscure Xiao An, who only he knows!

So...... God knows how much he wanted to return to the South Courtyard with An leisurely at that time, go to his palace banquet, and go to his imperial power! As long as you can prevent the world from discovering An Youran's true face, as long as you can keep the Xiao An who only belongs to him, it seems that everything else is not important! But they still went to ......

And the result is ...... He was more remorseful than he had imagined! From the moment An leisurely danced under the moon, he was clearly aware of the throbbing and panic in his heart, as well as the ...... that he had never felt before. Afraid!

Yes, he was scared...... When his father died, the tiger talisman was stolen, and the family was in danger, he never had the slightest fear, but he was shaken when he saw the scene when people threw themselves into An Youran's eyes!

So...... He has to save the day! Hide this rare treasure in the world!

Seeing An Youran's reaction, Xiao Suchen knew that he had achieved his goal, and there was a trace of imperceptible joy in his eyebrows and eyes, but on the surface, he still said in a quiet voice, "Since you have no intention of being the prince, why do you still work hard in front of everyone?" What if you let the saint and the mother mistakenly think that you are bent on inviting favor? ”

"I didn't!" An Youran was angry and anxious, her little face flushed, "I just can't get angry at the arrogance of those young ladies!" On the one hand, I didn't dare to write, for fear that the world would see through the handwriting; On the other hand, it was the emperor who boasted about Haikou for me in front of everyone, and in a hurry, I would make this decision! It's really not good, I'll pack up my things and leave Lingbei immediately! ”

After saying that, she really stood up, and was about to tell the coachman to hurry back to the villa. Seeing this, Xiao Suchen hurriedly pulled her down and sat down, and said with a little reproach, "Why are you so unbreathable, and you are about to leave halfway through your words?" The carriage is bumpy all the way, what if you fall? Don't worry, I 'unintentionally' mentioned in front of the queen today that you have sworn to keep filial piety in front of the Buddha for ten years to bless the Ling family's spirit in heaven! In this way, you still have two years of filial piety before you have expired, so it is not suitable to get married! ”

Hearing him say this, she couldn't help but be happy with her eyebrows, and she exclaimed happily, "You can think of such nonsense!" But the most ridiculous thing is that the queen also believes that God will not kill me! ”

"Queen Tingting has been worshipping Buddha since she was a child, and she will not be suspicious. But don't get too happy! If you are as sharp as you are today, there will definitely be similar troubles coming to your door! Gently brushing the hair scattered on An Youran's forehead behind his ears, Xiao Suchen's eyes flashed with a deep and incomprehensible light, "Can you promise me that I will never dress up in front of other people in the future, Yingge Yan dance?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Thinking of An Youran, who had escaped the catastrophe safely, how could she have the heart to figure out Xiao Suchen's deep meaning, she was only happy and busy, "Don't worry, today can make me tired to death, and even take out my housekeeping skills." There is nothing to show in the future, from now on I will not go out, and I will cultivate myself in the village and be an idler! ”

With Yingying's doting in her blue-eyed eyes, Xiao Suchen shook his head noncommittally, "Your playful and naughty temperament is only honest for three or five days at most, and you forget everything when the time passes!" No matter how old a person is, it's always the heart of a child. ”

"Is it okay to be an adult?" There was a hint of indifferent smile on his originally radiant face, and An leisurely looked back at Xiao Suchen, "The adult world is too complicated, I would rather live a free and simple life like a child who doesn't know the depths." ”

"Xiao An ......" stared at An Youran's slightly sentimental eyes, Xiao Suchen seemed to hesitate, and finally made up his mind after a moment of silence, "I met you in the palace, but I didn't know anything about you before. Everything about you is like an obscure puzzle, mysterious and elusive. I don't know what you've been through that keeps you from mentioning your past...... That's why I've always hoped that one day, you'll be able to open up and tell me the story that happened to you. But now, I've changed that mind......"

The slender fingers tightly grasped the soft water that was leisurely white as jade, and the warm hand warmth came slowly from the palm, which seemed to warm into the heart and dispelled the cold chill, "Because the most important thing is not to mind the past, but to let you live happily now." So let's make a pact, I'll never explore your past again, and you'll leave your unhappy memories behind forever. From now on, there will be no peace and leisure in the world, only Ling Biluo, who does not know sorrow! ”

Knowing Xiao Suchen's good intentions, An leisurely smiled gratefully, and just wanted to speak, but Han Erqi, who was probed in, said first, "Master, Qiluo Villa has arrived, I'll take the girl back first!" ”

Glimpsing Han Erqi staring at the hand she was holding with Xiao Suchen with a strange expression, An Youran realized the ambiguity of the atmosphere at this time, and she was so shocked that she quickly withdrew her hand, and didn't care about the words in her mouth, nodded at Xiao Suchen, and quickly left.

Afraid that Han Erqi, who was following behind, would say some unclear words and cause embarrassment, An leisurely almost trotted all the way back to his residence. As soon as she closed the door, she was suddenly shocked: she had always loved the hazy moonlight of autumn nights, and since the beginning of autumn, unless it was windy or rainy, she would order someone to open half of the window. But at this moment, the windows in the house were completely closed, so that the darkness after closing the door immediately aroused her alarm.

An ominous fear hit her heart, An Youran subconsciously wanted to run away from the door, but the moment her fingers touched the deadbolt, she felt a numbness in her waist, and the strength of her whole body seemed to be taken away in an instant, making her involuntarily collapse and fall. Just when she felt her body fall and was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong arms picked her up in time, letting her fall into a cold and refreshing embrace.
