CHAPTER 225 (1): ACKNOWLEDGING ONE ANOTHER
The three soft words from Su Xi-erâs mouth smashed into Ning Lianchenâs heart with the weight of a mountain. His eyes were filled with incredulity. He hadnât expected much when asking the question as he was afraid that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment... But who would have known that she would reply to me with âjust like Lanâ!
Only Imperial Elder Sister would answer me like this. She is definitely Imperial Elder Sister! Last nightâs Jinghong Dance, this morningâs Bending Branch Dance on the floating stage, and the words âjust like Lanâ; all this suggests that she is none other than Imperial Elder Sister!
Fearing that he would be overwhelmed, Ning Lianchen tried to suppress all the emotions that were gushing out, desperately making himself calm down. I didnât expect that Imperial Elder Sister would be able to live again. I donât believe in the occult, but my Imperial Elder Sister is standing right before me! Even though she now has a different appearance, the soul is still the same.
Pei Qianhao frowned slightly. He looked at Su Xi-erâs calm appearance before turning his eyes to Ning Lianchen. Whatâs wrong with Nanzhaoâs little Emperor? Why is he suddenly so agitated?
He asked, âYour Majesty, why are you so agitated? Prince Yun will lecture you again if he sees you in such a state.â
Hearing the words âPrince Yun,â Ning Lianchen smiled. âThis Emperor is happy. No, not just happy, I am extremely happy, so much so that I canât describe it in words.â He completely expressed his elated feelings. I want to let Imperial Elder Sister know that I have recognised her! Although it seems unbelievable, I canât help but think about the first time I met Imperial Elder Sister in the Yun Palace; she asked me, âDo you believe in a soul reincarnating in someone elseâs body?â
At that time, he had found it strange that she would ask such a question. Now though, he understood why. Imperial Elder Sister wanted me to recognise her from the moment that we met.
Su Xi-erâs delight was also indescribable by words, but she was able to control her emotions well, preventing Pei Qianhao from discovering them. Still, the atmosphere became strange, when Pei Qianhaoâs gaze kept alternating between Su Xi-er and Ning Lianchen.
The more he looked, the more he felt that something was amiss. Finally, he pulled Su Xi-er behind him and said, âYour Majesty, you can go back now. This Prince can stroll around with just my maidservant.â
Ning Lianchen directly waved his hand. âHow can that be acceptable? This Emperor has already said that I will personally take you all around for a tour. I have to mean what I say. Am I right, Miss Xi-er?â
He directly bypassed Pei Qianhao and asked Su Xi-er, intending to talk to his Imperial Elder Sister. No one would understand the feeling of regaining something one thought was lost.
âThat sounds logical.â She pointedly ignored Pei Qianhao as she spoke, before then turning to face him directly. âPrince Hao, Nanzhaoâs Emperor is so polite. You wouldnât be giving face to Nanzhao if you were to reject him. You are now in Nanzhao, and not Beimin.â
âDoes this Prince need you to remind me?â Prince Hao coldly responded before holding Su Xi-erâs hand as he walked forward.
âThis Prince will take you to see the sea of Lingrui flowers.â
Seeing Su Xi-er being led away by Pei Qianhao, Ning Lianchen immediately followed. Thatâs my Imperial Elder Sister, but I definitely canât expose her identity in front of others.
As soon as the cat is out of the bag, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even those who didnât know Imperial Elder sister would treat her as a demon if they knew about her reincarnation, much less Yun Ruofeng.
Pei Qianhao walked extremely quickly, planning to get rid of Ning Lianchen as soon as possible. However, when he reached the sea of Lingrui flowers with Su Xi-er, Ning Lianchen was still closely following behind.
He impolitely remarked to Su Xi-er, âNanzhaoâs little Emperor seems to be closely pursuing you. Why are you so dazzling as to effortlessly attract so many men?â
