Sure enough, Hu Ling'er was not surprised after hearing Xia Yihan's words. She just raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, then curled her lips and said, "Is that true? In other words, I lied to you once, and you lied to me once, we have already reached the point."

"Ling'er..." Xia Yihan called her hesitantly, her face calm, and she couldn't tell any emotion. She didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

In fact, he had wanted to tell Hu Ling'er about this identity, but later he forgot about other miscellaneous things, hoping that it would not add insult to the already tense relationship between them because of his concealment.

Fortunately, Hu Ling'er didn't have any big reactions. Seeing Xia Yihan's nervous look, she just raised her eyebrows meaninglessly: "It's okay, I didn't blame you. On the contrary, I want to thank you."

As for what he thanked him, Hu Ling'er didn't say it clearly. At this time, Xia Yihan could not guess what she was thinking.

Xia Yihan wanted to reach out to pull Hu Ling'er, but she stretched out her hand and put it on the table.

He hesitated for a moment, his fingers tightened slightly, and finally said, "Ling'er, then you'll stay in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and give me five days. In five days, I'll pick you up. I'll deal with those people and things that will make you unhappy at that time."

Looking at Xia Yihan who was determined, Hu Ling'er didn't know whether she should believe his promise.

It has been so many times. When he said it, he always swears to be honest, but did he do it in the end?

No, he couldn't do it at all.

So this time, she didn't intend to hold too much hope, but just nodded perfunctorily and said, "I understand."

Five days later, it should be the day when Tang Meng and the others come. Then it depends on his performance.

After that, Hu Ling'er didn't want to say anything else, just sat there with her head down, not even looking at Xia Yihan.

Xia Yihan knew that she didn't want to pay attention to her, so she thought about it and said, "Well, Ling'er, you have a good rest and I'll go back first."

"Yeah." Just a cold word made Xia Yihan sigh in his heart, then got up and walked out.

It was not until the door was closed that Hu Ling'er looked up at the door, and her face looked complicated.

She was actually quite surprised to know that Xia Yihan was the holy thief she had always admired. She had heard so many legends and stories about holy thief, but what is Xia Yihan in front of her like a legendary person?

But if you think about it carefully, although Xia Yihan could not see anything when she was in the valley, she still impressed her with her freedom and cheerfulness. At that time, Xia Yihan was like a saint.

So the person I like should be the holy thief who acts casually, does not fear strength, and is determined and decisive, rather than the indecisive Xia Yihan now.

Hu Ling'er sighed lightly and simply lay on the table.

Five days should be enough for her to sort out her mood.

But in these five days, can Xia Yihan really solve those problems as he said?

Or, after you leave, the Han Palace will become Sang Rong's world?

If this is true, then she would have no reason to stay there again.

After Xia Yihan left Hu Ling'er's room, she walked out of the yard and saw Mu Qihua waiting there at the door.

Xia Yihan respectfully bowed to him and called out, "Father."

Mu Qihua waved his hand and then said, "Yihan, come with me to get down to the study."

As he said that, he had already walked forward. Xia Yihan knew that he must have something to say to him, so he followed him.

In the study room, Mu Qihua sat at the desk, while Xia Yihan sat in the host and guest seats.

After a little silence, Mu Qihua spoke first: "Yihan, although you are the prince and I am a minister in the court, but now I am I talking to you as a father."

Xia Yihan nodded and said modestly: "Father, please tell me."

"Okay, then I'll be blunt." Mu Qihua glanced at Xia Yihan with complicated eyes, and then said, "I heard that you want to marry Sang Rong as your concubine?"

He was slightly shocked, but Xia Yihan quickly understood that since this matter had spread throughout the Han Palace, the right minister would know that there was nothing strange about it.

"Yes." Nodded, Xia Yihan admitted honestly, but then said: "But this is just the emperor's intention, and I will not agree."

But as soon as Xia Yihan finished speaking, Mu Qihua immediately said, "Since you don't agree, why do you leave Sang Rong in Prince Han's mansion?"

There was a faint anger in Mu Qihua's voice, and Xia Yihan could hear it.

He lowered his eyes guiltily, and after thinking about it, he said, "Qi Muqing came back to seek revenge on me. He arrested Sang Rong and hurt her. I... feel guilty for her."

"Haha, I feel guilty?" Mu Qihua smiled sarcastically, "You have guilty to Sang Rong, so would you rather hurt Ling'er?"

"No, how could I deliberately hurt Ling'er? I just..." Xia Yihan quickly denied it, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Qihua: "But no matter what, you still hurt her heart. Although she didn't say anything when she came back this time, her mother and I could see why she didn't want to go back to Prince Han's mansion."

Xia Yihan was silent because he could no longer defend himself. Hu Ling'er was indeed thinking about avoiding him because of his repeated injuries.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Mu Qihua sighed and shook his head and said, "Ah, in fact, we old people are not easy to interfere in the affairs between you young people. Although Ling'er is not our biological daughter, in our minds, she has long regarded her as her own daughter, so we don't want her to suffer a little grievance. Yihan, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Xia Yihan nodded. How could he not understand, because he also hoped so much in his heart.

He hopes that she will not be wronged or hurt, and will always be by her side happily.

But all of this depends on your own efforts to maintain it.

"Just understand." Mu Qihua gently patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "I know you are an excellent child. It was because of this that I felt relieved to hand over Ling'er to you, so please don't let us down."

"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely not disappoint you and Ling'er." Xia Yihan stood up and made a solemn promise.

He knew that Mu Qihua and his wife were really good to Hu Ling'er, so in his mind, they had long regarded them as their parents.

"Go." Mu Qihua waved his hand, his eyes full of trust.

After living so old, he still has some skills in judging people. He also understands that there are some twists and turns between young people, which is beneficial to them. As long as it is not too much, he can only let them go.

But if one day he really hurts his daughter, then he will never be polite.

Xia Yihan left the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but he did not go back to the Han Prince's Mansion directly, but went to the place where he used to live.

In the simple and secluded room, he thought quietly, thinking...

Thinking back on the little things that happened since he met Hu Ling'er, and then thinking about the past between him and Sang Rong, he realized that there was no comparison between the two at all.

Before he met Hu Ling'er, every day he was bored. Whether it was when he was robbing the rich and helping the poor, or when he was helping Qi Hongqing, he felt that it was just a concept of task.

But after meeting Hu Ling'er, no matter what he does, he always has a kind of concern and thought. As long as he is with her, he will feel extremely happy, which he has never felt before.

So, he just recognized her. Even if she fell off the cliff and had no idea about her life and death, he still insisted on finding her.

But after he found Hu Ling'er, what did he do?

After thinking about it carefully, he has really not done anything for her for such a long time. On the contrary, he has always brought danger to her one after another, and has been giving her direct harm until now.

He is really not a qualified husband. Hu Ling'er blames him and blames him, and he admits that he has accepted it.

In five days, he only gave himself five days. During these five days, he must solve everything, and then take Hu Ling'er away from this place of right and wrong and go to the place she wants to go.

On that day, when Xia Yihan returned to Prince Han's mansion, it was already dark. He did not go to see Sang Rong, but after dinner, he went straight into Hu Ling'er's room and lay on her bed.

This room and this bed originally belonged to the two of them, but so many things happened between them that he could not hold her and sleep well.

However, as soon as he thought of the feeling of sneaking into bed while she was sleeping and then hugging her in his arms, a happy and sweet smile spread to the corner of his mouth.

This is what he owes her.

Xia Yihan didn't know when she fell asleep, but he didn't know that in the room not far from him, there was a strong cold air.

Sang Rong was lying quietly on the bed, but his eyes were staring at the top of the bed without a moment. His hands were tightly sucked, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were exposed.

She knew that Hu Ling'er had left Prince Han's mansion this morning, and that Xia Yihan had gone out of her and ran to find her. She also knew that Hu Ling'er's girl Xiaomiao had packed up her things, so Min Mo continued to leave and went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although she was very happy that Hu Ling'er had temporarily lived in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, after she knew that Xia Yihan had obviously returned to the mansion, but she didn't even look at her, the fire of anger in her heart instantly ignited.

She knew Xia Yihan's personality. He decided that one thing and one reason would continue to go on like this.

Now it seems that no matter whether she dies or dies or loses her innocence, no matter how complicated and entangled Xia Yihan feels, no matter how guilty and ashamed, his final decision will not change.

Then, it's her turn to appear now. Since Hu Ling'er has left the Han Palace, she will make her never come back.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Sang Rong slowly closed his eyes.

The next morning, Sang Rong still didn't see Xia Yihan. He learned from the maid that he had gone to court very early.

It was a very rare thing that Xia Yihan went to court.

Yesterday, when Qi Hongqing and Sang Jinde came, he deliberately avoided it. So today, did he take the initiative to meet them?

Sang Rong could not guess Xia Yihan's thoughts, so he no longer thought about it. After having breakfast in the room, he told the maid that he wanted to go to the garden alone.

Dressed in a cloak, Sang Rong walked alone on the path covered with fallen leaves.

After lying in the room for two days, her bones seemed to have fallen off. If she didn't leave, she might really become a useless person.

His hand slowly stroked his veiled face. This face was completely destroyed, and his martial arts were gone. Now he even lost his innocence.

Will there be any man in the world who wants her?

There is no more, absolutely nothing, so if she can't stay by Xia Yihan's side, then she will have no way to die.

"Crack, Crack." The sound of stepping on the leaves made her feel upset. Looking at the fallen leaves all over the ground, she frowned tightly, then her eyes turned, and saw the two little Sis walking not far away, and immediately shouted: "You two, come here!"

The two little Si had actually noticed her for a long time and knew that she was the concubine the prince was about to marry, but due to her identity, she could only go around far away.

Now that she could call them, she could only walk forward and say respectfully: "Miss, please give me instructions."

Looking at the two of you who were timid, Sang Rong's face was very bad. He pointed to the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground and said, "What's wrong with these leaves? Haven't you cleaned them?"
