Chapter 27

However, that peculiar smile on his lips disappeared in the next moment, as if it was just an illusion. Even Ye Lanchen, who was facing him, didn't notice anything.

In the entire journey, Ye Lanchen didn't say another word. The corners of his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something. However, whenever he looked at Tang Kexin beside him, he would stopped himself from speaking.

Tang Kexin laughed in her heart. Indeed, against someone like this unruly prince, who only wished to stir up trouble, this method was the most direct and the most effective.

Ye Lanjue slightly narrowed his eyes. This woman was able to silence his unstoppable brother along the way, that even though he wanted to say something, he wouldn't dare to. Curious…

After entering the palace, Tang Kexin followed Ye Lanchen out of the carriage. She originally thought that Ye Lanjue would leave, but she didn't expect him to also get off the carriage and walk in the same direction as them. Tang Kexin was startled. Why would he also wanted to go to the Peace Palace? Wasn't he supposed to have his own matters? How could he be so relaxed? However, no one ever dared to question the way the Third Prince conducted his things.

Ye Lanchen was clearly a little surprised, but this time, he didn't say anything.

"Xin'er, come over here. Come to my side. I heard that Grandmaster Hui Yuan has cured your illness. Come over quickly and let me have a look at you." Upon entering the palace, the Empress' face bloomed into a smile as she saw her, brimming with the utmost joy.

The Crown Prince, who was sitting in the main hall, looked up at her. He was calm and didn't seem to respond in anyway with her appearance in the palace.

Tang Kexin walked forward, and the Empress held her hand with a face full of concern and doting. "Was it really done?"

In Tang Kexin's shared memory with the original, even though Tang Kexin was a fool, the Empress had always doted on her. "Thank you for the Empress' concern, Xin'er has really recovered."

The Empress would always show her affection and caring gestures to Tang Kexin unrestrictedly, but right now there were many people present. Within the imperial family, every step required caution, not to mention the fact that both the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were present that the Empress could only limit her greetings.

The Empress was surprised for a moment, and her face brightened in relief. "That's really good, really, really good."

"Mother, that's true! Not only that, she's so smart and powerful! She used a wolfhound to chase Mu Shaoyi away when we arrived at the Prime Minister's Manor." Ye Lanchen couldn't help but open his mouth. As he spoke, his eyes looked towards Tang Kexin. Seeing that Tang Kexin had lowered her head, quiet and gentle, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. After what had just happened in the carriage, he would never, ever believe her being gentle and obedient again.

The Crown Prince raised his eyebrows. "You used a wolfhound to chase Mu Shaoyi away? Why?"

The empress frowned. "Didn't you like Mu Shaoyi very much?" Back then, Xin'er would always talk about Mu Shaoyi, and even said that she wouldn't marry unless it's Mu Shaoyi. That was why she bestowed them an engagement. But the truth was, she really didn't want to marry Xin'er to Mu Shaoyi because everyone could tell that Mu Shaoyi didn't like her, and never wanted to marry her.

"She has recovered from her illness and doesn't like Mu Shaoyi anymore." Without waiting for Tang Kexin to speak, Ye Lanchen directly answered in her place.

Tang Kexin thought that she had said enough to shut him up when they were in the carriage. But perhaps this unrestrained prince felt that in front of the Empress, Tang Kexin couldn't do anything to him.

"You don't like Mu Shaoyi anymore?" The Empress was taken aback and found it hard to believe.

"Yes, she doesn't like Mu Shaoyi anymore." This time, Ye Lanchen didn't have the slightest hesitation and directly said, "Right now, she likes…"

The Empress' eyes twinkled as she quickly looked at Ye Lanchen with anticipation. Who did Xin'er like now? The Crown Prince and the Third Prince didn't react at all. However, they didn't shut their ears.
