"Even if we want to let go, can those people really let us off the hook?" Dong Qingyuan would be weird if he was willing to let go, but it's just something said to gain sympathy for himself. Dong Qingyuan has been obsessed with fame and fortune for so many years, wanting to put this down is not easy at all. On the contrary, as for myself, I really don't know what to do now.

  The original intention to make that person look at me with new eyes has already been achieved, and the things that should have belonged to me have also been obtained. Now, I'm here, but I don't know what to do next. After having Yuan Shu Huan, those thoughts have faded away even more. With my current status as a high-ranking official, if I really want to take another step forward, it's not like I couldn't...

  Just as I said to Dong Qingyuan earlier, even if the two of them wanted to escape, there were too many people who wouldn't let them. They are in the imperial court, how can they not have a few enemies? Probably letting go would be the end of their lives. This point is very clear to Dong Qingyuan, and Pei Mingxuan will certainly not ignore it either.

  "It seems that being a carefree cloud and wild crane is not possible for you, Your Highness." Dong Qingyuan said with a hint of familiarity, although the two had been colleagues in the imperial court for many years, this was their first real encounter. The two sat down calmly and quietly, sharing a cup of clear tea together - something that probably no one would have thought could happen between them.

  "If one's heart is at leisure, everywhere is leisurely." But if one's heart is troubled, then everywhere is troublesome. Take Dong Qingyuan for example. Even when he came here, he didn't forget to recruit talent for the imperial court and for himself. Isn't this being un-leisurely wherever you go? Although his own heart also misses the imperial court, it hasn't reached such a frantic state.

  "Dong Qingyuan is indeed a laughing stock for Prince Wang." Pei Mingxuan had come to realize at some point that he was probably destined to be a hardworking person, unable to let go of certain things. Although this sentence was completely sarcastic towards Dong Qingyuan, it also made him feel somewhat pleased.

  Some people want to worry but haven't had the chance, Dong Qingyuan can worry about it, doesn't this prove that this person is quite capable? People have both positive and negative sides, words also have both positive and negative meanings.

  "If Mr. Dong is still considered naive, then who in this world can be considered intelligent?" Dong Qingyuan was not only intelligent but also extremely intelligent, the question was whether his heart was as intelligent as humans, if it was, it should be clear and bright. Although it's unknown why Dong Qingyuan had such a strong obsession, when it came to power and authority, he indeed had a few points of infatuation.

  "The king's undeserved praise." For some reason, Dong Qingyuan felt that he was somehow inferior while drinking tea and chatting here. Looking at Pei Mingxuan again, he always felt that something was different from before. Originally, a general and a prime minister were equal in status, but now that Pei Mingxuan had become the king, had things really changed so much?

  Dong Qingyuan felt otherwise in his heart, or was it because of the reason why he was saved by both of them before? Dong Qingyuan was slightly puzzled, but this did not disrupt the current conversation. After a slight pause, Dong Qingyuan understood that today's conversation was completely dominated by Pei Mingxuan, so he would feel inferior.

  Dong Qingyuan found a perfect excuse for himself and completely let go of the matter. However, he didn't know that he was completely wrong. During this time, Pei Mingxuan had been living in Yuan Shuhuan's house, truly cultivating his character. Moreover, after reaching this point and obtaining the title of Xuan Wang, Pei Mingxuan's obsession in his heart had already dissipated.

  With this, Pei Mingxuan's state of mind is completely different. After all, he had also gone through a near-death experience at the Ghost Gate, and he must have gained some insight from it. The current Pei Mingxuan is no longer the same person as half a year ago, his realm has surpassed Dong Qingyuan by one level. Yesterday, because of Yuan Shuheng's matter, his mind was disturbed, which led to this situation. This knot in his heart was also untied by Yuan Shuheng yesterday, so today he can be so calm and composed.

  "It's getting late, I'll go find Huan'er. Does Lord Dong have any interest in coming along?" Previously living under the same roof didn't feel like this, but now Pei Mingxuan has come to realize what it means to be apart for even a short while. In just this brief moment, his heart has already begun to miss her.

  "Prince Wang is indeed..." It's only been a short while, and you're already starting to miss him? Dong Qingyuan looked at Pei Mingxuan in front of her, this Pei Mingxuan had completely fallen into Yuan Shuhuan's gentle trap. However, a woman like Yuan Shuhuan was indeed attractive. But for himself, it was indeed somewhat dangerous.

  "Han'er rarely goes out, and it's normal to think about some things. Actually, the phrase 'near water tower first gets moon' still makes some sense. Nowadays, the distance between two people is not too far or too close, just feeling just right. When two people are too close, they might feel like there's no meaning. Pei Mingxuan doesn't quite agree with this sentence, but somehow feels it has a bit of truth to it."

  Moreover, if he continued to live in Han'er's small courtyard, Pei Mingxuan felt that he would find it difficult to control himself. For the sake of Han'er and his own safety, it was better for the two people to keep some distance between them. As Yuan Shu Han said, distance produces beauty.

  Being close to you is too dangerous, leaving you makes me miss you so much, Han Er, what should I do with you?

  Even with so many unspeakable emotions, Bae Myung-seon still likes this feeling. It turns out that if you really like someone, even bitterness will have a hint of sweetness.

  "His Highness's heart is now filled with tender affection, so please don't harm this lonely and helpless Dong Qingyuan." Such tender affection makes Dong Qingyuan's heart ache, it's simply too stimulating. But Pei Mingxuan doesn't have such self-awareness, he just wants to stimulate Dong Qingyuan to death, the deeper the stimulation, the better.

  "Mr. Dong has many romantic connections in Kyoto, where can be considered a lonely person." Pei Mingxuan's words are absolutely true, the women in the capital who have a relationship with Dong Qingyuan are countless. It's not that Dong Qingyuan is a playboy, but rather he relied on these women for help when he first started out.

  Just yesterday, Dong Qingyuan's innocent and shy expression must have deceived many young girls and women. With his always gentle and elegant appearance, he has gained a lot of popularity. It's not that Pei Mingxuan cares about these superficial names, but simply looking at Dong Qingyuan is annoying.

  Especially when Dong Qingyuan took this deceitful appearance, preparing to deceive Yuan Shuhuan, Pei Mingxuan felt that he couldn't tolerate it anymore. Fortunately, Yuan Shuhuan didn't have any interest in this kid and even showed a particularly disgusted expression, otherwise Pei Mingxuan thought he would definitely become a tragedy.

  "The prince smiled." Some things are not secrets between each other, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the red beauty knows everything in Kyoto. But saying it out loud at this moment makes people somewhat unacceptable, after all, he plans to flirt with another woman. However, Yuan Shu Huan may not be unaware of these things, probably also guessing a bit.

  "Knowing each other is just knowing each other, Master Wang should understand that." Knowing someone and being a wife are completely different things, Dong Qingyuan understood this clearly. Some people can be touched while others cannot be touched at all, Dong Qingyuan was also very clear about this principle. Yuan Shuhuan was like a rose with thorns or a poisonous poppy, unexpectedly attracting Dong Qingyuan's attention.

  Even Dong Qingyuan knew that Yuan Shuhuan might be an existence that would make himself irredeemable, as long as he did things that exceeded Yuan Shuhuan's tolerance. However, even so, Dong Qingyuan still couldn't tolerate it, facing this completely different woman. It was from the moment that woman said "This is my prey" that she had already captured Dong Qingyuan's heart.

  Dong Qingyuan also did not deny that he had other purposes, but these were not the main thing, right? As long as he truly liked Yuan Shuhuan, Dong Qingyuan felt that was enough. Moreover, Dong Qingyuan never cared about the darkness in the process, as long as he could achieve his goals, that was enough.

  "Han'er is a very simple person, loving and hating in a straightforward way. Her world doesn't have too many rights or wrongs; perhaps for Han'er, as long as she asks herself what she likes or dislikes, that's enough. She likes it if she likes it, and doesn't like it if she doesn't - Yuan Shu Han rarely hides her emotions."

  Perhaps it's because she thinks it's unnecessary, because Yu Shu Huan's own abilities have made her fearless of anyone. Even the one sitting on the dragon chair has no way to deal with Yu Shu Huan. As long as Yu Shu Huan doesn't like it, this simple reason is already enough.

  "Huan Gong Nang is naturally different from the ordinary, and we ordinary people can't speak the same language." Yuan Shu Huan was indeed a very special existence, at least for Dong Qingyuan. The impression that Yuan Shu Huan gave to Dong Qingyuan was slightly different, but it could be said that she was a person who loved and hated clearly. At least, she had formed a sharp contrast with Pei Mingxuan, making Dong Qingyuan feel a kind of inexplicable envy.

  "The tea has gone cold, it's time to leave." Pei Mingxuan raised the teacup to his lips, took a sip, and left behind a carefree silhouette as he departed. The question asked earlier would be proven by Dong Qingyuan's actions!

  "Will the tea turn cold when people leave?" Dong Qingyuan muttered to himself, then tightened his grip on the teacup. Pei Mingxuan's meaning was very clear - how could he allow such a thing to happen? Since this play had made him so infatuated, then it would be better if the curtain never fell. Just like that, forever and ever, at least he had left an impression on Yuan Shuhuan, right?

  Dong Qingyuan stood up and followed Pei Mingxuan's pace, since they came together, they might as well leave together. There was a saying that Pei Mingxuan said very aptly, the tea has gone cold and it's not early anymore, since this side has finished singing, why not wait for the other side to take the stage.

  Whether Yuan Shuhan is unconventional or not, the two people have their own opinions in their hearts. It's better to know this kind of thing by oneself and there's no need to make it public. Yuan Shuhan has a completely different attitude towards the two people, so they also have different impressions of Yuan Shuhan, and neither of them is willing to share with others.

  Pei Mingxuan had long known that Yuan Shuhuan came from another world, and even more so would not easily discuss this matter. They were originally people of two different worlds, how could they be mentioned in the same breath? It was just that now Yuan Shuhuan was by his side, nothing more!
