When Lin Zhaoyan woke up, he found himself in a thick fog.

She looked around in a daze and found that there was nothing around except the thick white fog, as if it was a illusion of nothingness.

I felt a little unconsciously panicked, feeling that I was completely unfamiliar and uncontrollable.

This, where is this?

She clearly remembered that she was pushed into the lake by Hu Dieyi, so how could she appear in this place?

Could it be that she is dead?

As soon as this thought flashed, Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but feel sad.

It's really God is going to kill her!

She never expected that she would fall into a little girl!

After lamenting, I can only accept reality. After all, after experiencing so much, I have already seen through life and death. It is good to be able to live, but if I die, it is useless to blame others.

Fortunately, her mother has been relieved of pain. Ruoyan, Manshuang, Manhua and others have found their own happiness, so she doesn't have to worry too much.

Now that this is the case, it may not be bad for you to reunite with your father and biological mother.

Lin Zhaoyan sighed and walked forward, trying to find a way out, but he thought that as soon as he took one step, he stepped on the air and his body fell down instantly.

God, she still cheated her when she has gone to the underworld?

But at this moment, my wrist was suddenly grabbed and my body stopped falling.

Lin Zhaoyan then realized that when she fell into the water, someone jumped down to save her.

Is it still him? He is also dead?

Lin Zhaoyan looked back with gratitude and guilt, but ended up seeing a handsome face that was enlarged.

He had a wide eyebrow and eyes, his face was like a jade crown, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes were looking at her with a smile.

"Xiao, Xiao Qi..." Lin Zhaoyan looked at him in shock. It took him a long time to organize his own language. "Why are you here? Aren't you in Shengjing? Aren't you the emperor? Aren't you going to deal with the government? Why are you here?"

Xiao Qi looked at her with a smile in his eyes. The corners of his mouth bent slightly, "Are you worried about me?"

"Xiao Qi, I didn't joke with you!" Lin Zhaoyan was so panicked that he quickly reached out to push him. "You go, I don't need you to save me. You go and be your good emperor. I don't need you to save me!"

"But it's too late, what should I do?" Xiao Qi tilted his head and looked at her innocently.

Lin Zhaoyan was at a loss in panic, and his hand was trembling violently, "Xiao Qi, don't scare me!"

"Who told you to hide from me? You don't listen to me. You refuse to accept my arrangement. You know that Xue Shenzhi's words are lying, but you still give up. If you don't come to me, I have to come to you."

"I... that's because I don't know how to be with you after experiencing so much? I don't know how to get along with you. Xiao Qi, I can only escape!"

"So, do you still love me?"

"I……"

"Lin Zhaoyan, if I said I wouldn't be this emperor, would you agree to be with me?"

"I...I don't know, I don't know!"

"Lin Zhaoyan, Lin Zhaoyan. Lin Zhaoyan..." The shouts in her ears became stronger and stronger, as if they were about to pierce the eardrum and penetrate into her heart.

Lin Zhaoyan opened his eyes, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was so pale.

She looked at the blue curtain in front of her, and her mind was still a little unsteady.

"Zhao'er, you're finally awake." It was Mrs. Li's voice.

Only then did Lin Zhaoyan realize that he was dreaming.

She was really scared to death. How could she have that kind of dream?

Xiao Qi is in Shengjing and will not give up the throne for her. She is so passionate about herself!

But, it's more to be grateful.

Fortunately it was a dream, and thankful that they were all still alive.

"Lin Zhaoyan. Are you having a nightmare just now? Don't be afraid. That Hu Dieyi has been severely punished by Mrs. Li, and she is considered to seek justice for you."

This sound...

Lin Zhaoyan looked in the voice and jumped out of the bed in fear, "Xu Xiujin! Why are you?!"

Xu Xiujin was still wearing the green long gown he had when he ran into him last time. He curled his lips and smiled, "What? Is this your attitude towards your life-savior?"

Life-saving benefactor?

"You saved me?" Lin Zhaoyan widened his eyes. If she remembered correctly, the person who saved her was...

Lin Zhaoyan immediately clenched his fists, and just waited for Xu Xiujin to say "yes", and immediately rushed over and smashed his face.

Fortunately, Xu Xiujin knew how to look at people's faces. Seeing that her face was unwilling, she smiled and revealed the topic.

Lin Zhaoyan's face looked a little better.

In fact, my intuition told her that the person who saved her was definitely not Xu Xiujin.

Because that feeling was so familiar that she was so familiar... she couldn't bear to push it away.

Is it really him?

Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but glance at the door, but the next second he felt that he was thinking too much, so he shook his head and drove away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"Madam Li, thank you for saving me, but I think I should go back." Seeing that he was dressed intact, Lin Zhaoyan lifted the quilt and got out of bed by himself, and no longer mentioned the matter of falling into the water.

This happened in Li's mansion, so Mrs. Li would naturally handle it. Besides, Hu Dieyi pushed her into the water, and even if the marriage was blown up, she would not blame her for not being able to come over her head.

Mrs. Li glanced at Xu Xiujin and received a look of her eyes. She quickly reached out to stop Lin Zhaoyan, "Don't you want to know about Qing'er?"

Lin Zhaoyan looked at her expressionlessly, "If Mrs. Li wants to tell me, she will naturally tell me. Why do you need to ask me if I want to know?"

Mrs. Li choked and then smiled apologetically, "Is Zhao'er still angry with me? I blamed me for not taking care of the guests and causing you to fall into the water?"

"No, Miss Hu Er's affairs were just an accident." Lin Zhaoyan pushed her hand away, raised his foot and was about to walk out the door.

"Lin Zhaoyan." This time Xu Xiujin stopped her.

Lin Zhaoyan looked at him impatiently, "What else do you have? Mr. Xu, I know you are a man from the world and are not careful, but after all, there is a difference between men and women. Please be careful!"

"You can't leave." Xu Xiujin didn't feel embarrassed at all, but instead looked as if he was taken for granted, "You must go back to Shengjing with me."

Lin Zhaoyan's face immediately changed, "What do you mean!"

"Literal meaning." Xu Xiujin said lightly, nodding to Mrs. Li again, "Mrs. Li, thank you for your hard work. I have something to say to Miss Lin. Please avoid it first. When the Seventh Prince comes, I will bring him here."

"What Seventh Prince?!" Lin Zhaoyan looked at Mrs. Li in shock.

But Mrs. Li didn't look at her and walked out directly.

"Xu Xiujin, what is the Seventh Prince? It's fine if you plot against me, what do you want to do to Rui'er?" Lin Zhaoyan yelled in a hurry, and his face turned pale because of fear.

The Seventh Prince is the son of Emperor Huiwen. He is considered to be the candidate who can inherit the throne legitimately. To ensure that, does Xu Xiujin want to kill someone to silence him?

"Xu Xiujin! I warn you, no matter how you use any means for your family, if you dare to hurt Rui'er, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Lin Zhaoyan's angry look was quite imposing. Xu Xiujin subconsciously took a step back, then realized that he was a little cowardly, so he quickly coughed and said with a correct expression: "How about no one wants to take the Seventh Prince? No matter how bad I don't help, I won't take the child."

"Who knows? Haven't you even used a blow to a woman?" Lin Zhaoyan sneered.

She and Xiao Qi will reach this point today. Although it was caused by Xue Shenzhi, Xu Xiujin will definitely play a role in fueling the fire.

Xu Xiujin was choked by her for a while and then said, "It's different from the past!"

"What the hell do you want to do?" Lin Zhaoyan was too lazy to talk nonsense to him anymore.

"I'll know when you arrive in Shengjing." Xu Xiujin kept him in hiding.

Lin Zhaoyan was not willing to be outdone, "If you don't make it clear, I won't go to Shengjing. It's useless for you to threaten me with the Seventh Prince. I'm not afraid of death, and I'm still afraid of your threat?"

"...Why is it getting harder and harder?" Xu Xiujin couldn't help but mutter, "I've been running away when everyone is here. I'm leaving this mess to me, and I'm not my wife."

Seeing Lin Zhaoyan's willingness to be willing, Xu Xiujin thought about this matter and seemed to be unable to say it, so he carefully said the following sentence and told her, "The Seventh Prince... After all, he is the only son of the late emperor who is still alive in the world. He is the most qualified to inherit the throne. Of course, he cannot be allowed to wander among the people. After several months of observation, I found that the person the Seventh Prince relies on the most was you, so if he wants to go back to Shengjing, you will naturally have to accompany him to avoid something happening to him."

Lin Zhaoyan didn't understand what he meant, or thought it was impossible that it was the meaning he understood, so he asked, "Can you say it straightforward?"

"Um..." Xu Xiujin glanced at her expression and said concisely, "The Seventh Prince is going to return to Shengjing to inherit the throne."

This sentence is like a thunder sound on the ground, which shocked Lin Zhaoyan in an instant.

"You, what are you talking nonsense?"

The Seventh Prince, inherit the throne?

What a joke, what should Xiao Qi do!

"Of course, he didn't inherit the throne as soon as he went back to Shengjing. The current situation in Shengjing City is not stable, so it is not realistic to let him be the emperor with one child. He just needs to take him back and train him first. Otherwise, even if the situation in Shengjing is stable, he will not be able to take that position." Xu Xiujin explained kindly again.

Lin Zhaoyan still felt unbelievable, "Don't you joke, what's your purpose? Didn't that throne come from you with great difficulty? Now I'm saying I want to give it to the Seventh Prince, do you think I'm a three-year-old child!"

Xu Xiujin sighed helplessly, "Whether you believe it or not, the fact is that, do you think, do I want this? I just can't resist him. He said, he doesn't want to break the things you try hard to protect, family and feelings, but there are too many unscrupulous things in this world. As a man, in addition to feelings, there are also loyalty and responsibility. When he fulfills his promise, he will return your feelings to you, but I don't know if you want them anymore."
