I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.

Who should I blame

"Is there something on my face" Seeing Qi Lin staring at him as if she was thinking about something, Bai Qianye finally broke the silence and said, "I remember that I washed my face."

Qi Lin wiped off the sweat from her forehead in frustration. This guy was always the same—smiling, casual, and indifferent.

Right now she felt utterly confused. Today, during the meeting with Bu Yao, Bu Yao had shown all the hatred she harbored for Qi Lin. That was better than pretending to care.

This point of honesty in Bu Yao was something that Qi Lin appreciated.

Xiao Ran's situation really shocked her, but since it had already happened and the responsibility did not lie entirely on her shoulders, she could only be more careful for the future as she too had paid a price for his fate.

However, Bu Yao's attitude made Qi Lin somewhat doubtful. From her words, Qi Lin could tell that Bu Yao's attempt to get close to Feng Changqiang had failed, which was why she had angrily revealed Xiao Ran’s situation.

After this encounter with Bu Yao, the two of them had implicitly acknowledged their separate positions and paths.

The original plan was to meet Zi Yin and have him be cautious around Bu Yao. However, before she could act on it, Bai Qianye appeared miraculously.

"How much do you know about what happened in the palace" Ignoring Bai Qianye's teasing, Qi Lin said bluntly, "I don't believe that you only have a vague idea."

After saying this, she looked at him seriously to avoid having him answer with silence. In order to prevent such an outcome, Qi Lin snatched the fan from Bai Qianye’s hand and waved it herself.

Bai Qianye merely smiled faintly and lifted the tea on the table. However, in the next second, Qi Lin took it away. Everything he wanted to touch was taken by Qi Lin before his hands could reach them. Even when trying to avoid her gaze, she appeared right before him the moment he turned his head, with a pair of clear black eyes filled with "smiles" looking back at him.

This scene continued for half an hour.

"I almost know everything." Under Qi Lin's relentless silent questioning, Bai Qianye had to give in. This was the first time he was forced into submission under such a silent interrogation. He originally wanted to take back his fan, but since Qi Lin refused, he could only continue speaking. "I told you that I've always been by your side and know everything about you. All conditions, both advantageous and disadvantageous, are known to me. As long as it has something to do with you, I know it."

Huh Qi Lin blushed slightly, her hands constantly poking at the edges of her clothes while she occasionally touched her ears. She muttered softly, "This... this is nonsense. Talk about important things."

Only after saying that did she realize how foolish she looked—like a little wife teasing and bickering with her husband.

This was like tripping over a stone one had laid oneself. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Unfortunately, unable to move away, she could only spread the fan out in front of her face to hide herself.

"T-Then... what else" Qi Lin finally pinched her thigh hard and regained her composure. However, she still couldn't look directly at Bai Qianye.

Damn it! Why was she blushing so much!

She suddenly placed the fan on the table and stared straight into Bai Qianye's eyes, raising her voice to say, "What I mean is that apart from things related to me, what else do you know Such as... Xiao Ran and others... Right, actually, I've always wanted to ask, besides staying in the secret room, where else did you stay"

After all, there were several times when she had noticed Bai Qianye wasn't inside the secret room.

Suddenly, Qi Lin thought of a possibility and stared at Bai Qianye with wide eyes as if questioning him.

"Hahaha... Haha." Seeing through Qi Lin's thoughts, Bai Qianye lifted his head and laughed loudly. He picked up the fan on the table, flipped it over in his hand, and tapped Qi Lin’s head with its handle. He said, "Even if I were to disguise myself as that person and stay in another consort's quarters as you imagined, wouldn’t there be someone who would notice Besides, dealing with unnecessary people isn't something I wish to involve myself in."

Necessary people... Qi Lin curiously looked at Bai Qianye. What exactly did he mean by 'unnecessary people'

"There’s one more thing I hope you understand." He stretched out his long hand, hooked his slender fingers under Qi Lin's chin and leaned closer to her as he said, "To me, any emotion is unnecessary. Do you know what that means"

Any emotion is unnecessary...

"Of course I understand this point. Novels are filled with such descriptions." Although she understood this point, Qi Lin still felt a sourness in her heart. Truly self-inflicted humiliation; if only she hadn’t said those words. But it was uncomfortable to keep silent.

Qi Lin scratched her ear as she pondered over these thoughts when Bai Qianye started thinking about what Qi Lin had meant by saying, "Novels are filled with such descriptions." After much consideration, he could only initially understand that the books were written this way. Did someone actually write a book specifically about it Or was it already commonplace in Qi Lin’s world

"Oh well, let's not talk about these things anymore; they're quite annoying." He waved his hand and shook his head as if dismissing them. Now that he had his thoughts together again, he said, "Right, I want to... ."

"The Prince Regent has something to tell you."

The two spoke at almost the same time. They looked at each other silently.

"Uh… What does Zi Yin want to tell me" It was already awkward enough as it was, and now they were on the same wavelength. Qi Lin could only break this damned awkwardness first: "Tell me."

Bai Qianye handed a letter to Qi Lin and said, "After you read it, remember to burn it so that there won’t be any unnecessary trouble."

Qi Lin nodded. Was he scolding her for being reckless last time

She opened the envelope and turned around to read.

"Find a way to leave the palace."

Leave the palace!

This was something she had dreamed about countless times since entering the palace, but each time before reaching the palace walls, she would be caught and brought back.

"Did Zi Yin say anything else" How could she accomplish such a simple task Truly speaking out of turn without considering the consequences.

When Bai Qianye was drinking tea again, she realized that he had taken his cup over at some point.

"No."

Nani!! He didn’t say anything else

"But... perhaps the two things I am about to tell you will be helpful." Just as he said this, Qi Lin’s eyes lit up and she stared at him with a look of longing. With a smile on her face, she shook her head and said, "However, I don’t want to say it now."

Revenge, definitely revenge.

Qi Lin was very considerate as she walked behind Bai Qianye and helped him massage his shoulders. Smiling, she asked, "I have a lot of delicious treats; would you like to try some

"I'm not interested."

"How about I give you a massage"

"No need, I can take care of myself."

"Then... how about I brew some tea for you The tea I make is really good."

"I know a thing or two about tea. To be frank, your brewing skills are still lacking."

Is this guy looking for a fight Qi Lin forcibly suppressed her anger and continued with a somewhat twisted smile, saying, "Then, may I ask, what do you need from me Just tell me, and I will surely fulfill all of your requests."

Bai Qianye blew on the hot tea and handed it to Qi Lin.

Qi Lin took the teacup and gulped down the entire cupful without any intention of savoring the taste. After setting down the cup, she noticed a lingering faint aroma of tea in her mouth; this sensation reminded her of elm wood... how was that elm wood doing Since sending that letter, she had heard nothing about it—could something have happened

Or maybe he has forgotten me

It could very well be either.

"Ouch." Qi Lin clutched her forehead and looked at Bai Qianye in pain, saying, "Is ambushing people your hobby"

"And thinking about someone else while talking to them is yours" Bai Qianye handed another cup of tea to Qi Lin and said, "This time, please taste it carefully."

Hm This smile seems different. Qi Lin cautiously accepted the teacup and drank the tea under Bai Qianye's intense gaze.

"Wow, this is so delicious; it’s the best tea I've ever had." It was disgusting; she wanted to throw up. "What do you want Even without telling me, I can find a way."

"Want to know" Placing down the teacup, he moved closer to Qi Lin and pulled her into his embrace.

Startled by Bai Qianye's sudden move, she found herself in his arms when she regained her senses.

"Listen carefully." He flipped over and pinned Qi Lin beneath him. By now, Qi Lin’s face was already flushed with two adorable pink patches; it made him want to bite her.

The familiar sweet scent reappeared. Bai Qianye suppressed his reaction; he had noticed that this smell appeared only when he touched Qi Lin or felt aroused by her.

Qi Lin turned away and waited quietly for Bai Qianye's words.

"Just tell me everything about your world."

Hm Qi Lin was slightly taken aback. Looking at Bai Qianye’s earnest expression, she didn't think he was joking around.

"My world... why do you want to know" It had nothing to do with this world and wouldn’t be of any benefit to him.

"Just curious." Just out of curiosity about how their world could produce such a strong woman.

"Alright."

"Including some strange things."

"Strange things" What does that mean Qi Lin looked at Bai Qianye in confusion.

Bai Qianye was too lazy to explain and stood up, walking over to the desk. He picked up a paper and pen, wrote something down, and handed it to Qi Lin.

Huh Eh!

Isn't this... her name in pinyin

Why would Bai Qianye write this Qi Lin looked at Bai Qianye as if he were an alien and said stiffly, "How do you know how to write pinyin Besides that, what else can you do"

Could it be that Bai Qianye is from the 21st century

In the same world as her Just like Bu Yao, he also lost his memory when he crossed over No... If that's the case, how could he be a prince The most likely scenario would be...

That Bai Qianye is actually魂穿 (hun chuan).

Aren't all those who cross over like her and Bu Yao, where their bodies or souls cross over Could it be that...

"You're also a person who crossed over!"

"Crossed over" Bai Qianye looked at Qi Lin in confusion. What does this mean

Seeing Bai Qianye's expression, Qi Lin silently cursed herself as an idiot; it was impossible to think of such a thing with her toes.

"How do you know these characters" After thinking for a moment, Qi Lin pointed at the pinyin and asked, "Did someone else tell you about them"

Could it be that Bai Qianye and Bu Yao are working together But there was no indication of this from her conversation with Bu Yao today. However, this possibility could not be ruled out.

Pondering this possibility made Qi Lin look a bit downcast, but this mood vanished when she saw Bai Qianye take out a sky blue leather wallet.

"How did you get this" Qi Lin took the wallet excitedly. This was the gift she had bought for herself at Louis Vuitton on her twentieth birthday, spending almost all of her small savings, even though she picked the cheapest one carefully. She remembered that none of these things were there when she arrived; she thought only she had come over and never imagined... "Hehe... How did you get this"

"I found it." Seeing Qi Lin excitedly flipping through the wallet, Bai Qianye continued to say, "It would be more accurate to say that it dropped right beside me from the sky~"

About thirty days before he met Qi Lin, he was preparing to infiltrate Phoenix Palace and was making antidote pills when a package fell from the sky onto him. The contents were things he had never seen before.

So when he finally saw Qi Lin's face clearly, he knew her background wasn't simple at all.

Hearing this explanation, Qi Lin was stunned; could that place be...

"I will teach you what I know. But you need to promise me something." Suppressing the urge to shout out loud, Qi Lin grabbed Bai Qianye's hand and said shakily, "You have to take me to where you found this."

That place might be her way home.

This was the first time she had seen Qi Lin so excited and struggling hard to suppress it. A faint panic flashed in Bai Qianye's eyes; he felt like losing something important for the first time, as if it could slip away from him at any moment.towards the water.Fortunately, Zi Yun acted swiftly, stretching his long arm to摟住Qi Lin's waist and pulling her into his embrace before turning around to a safe place. He did not immediately let go bu...
