Previously, she used to think that he was not compassionate enough to be humane, so she didn't have to worry about him having other wives and concubines, but now, it seemed that this guy had really changed for better. What reason did she have now for him to marry her alone?

Meng Yuan looked at Zhao Ling who was looking straight at him calmly, and his heart was shaking. His Ling'er was really different, and there were always so many surprising ideas. And what he liked, wasn't she who she was?

He held her beautiful face in both hands, and said to her very seriously: "Okay, I accept. I will have only you for the rest of my life. I, Meng Yuan, will only love Ling'er in this life."

Zhao Ling was also moved when she heard his affectionate promise. Although she couldn't guarantee how long Meng Yuan's promise would last, at this moment, he liked her and she believed in him, that was enough.

The sea breeze was gently blowing, the waves of the sea were slowly bursting, and the afterglow of the sunset was warmly surrounded. The two embraced each other quietly, like a beautiful and moving painting.

"Ling'er, I want to ask you a question." Meng Yuan's hoarse magnetic voice sounded above Zhao Ling's head.

This question has been entangled in him for a long time. Just now Zhao Ling said that lovers should be honest with each other. He felt that it was time to ask her the question in his heart.

"Huh?" Zhao Ling leaned comfortably in his arms, playing with a jade pendant around his waist.

After a long while, Meng Yuan muttered. "Who is Yuan Lie?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ling was taken aback. She left his embrace and asked with wide eyes, "How do you know Yuan Lie?"

Did this person really exist? Meng Yuan's face sank. He secretly investigated for a long time, but he couldn't find any clues about Yuan Lie at all. He originally hoped that he had misheard at that time.

Zhao Ling was of course surprised. Yuan Lie was the captain of the criminal police team of the Public Security Bureau, and it was impossible to appear here. How did Meng Yuan know? She remembered that she never revealed it to anyone.

Seeing Zhao Ling's suspicious expression, Meng Yuan had to explain: "That day...the alley next to Yipinxuan..." 

She was a little hesitant, afraid that Zhao Ling would be angry because he thought he was there but didn't help him. God knew how much he regretted what happened that day. He regretted that he was one step late and she was snatched by that kid Feng Ze.

If he had arrived on time that day, Zhao Ling and Fengze would not have known each other, and he would not have been jealous so many times in the future.

Yipinxuan Alley? Zhao Ling remembered, at that time she was attacked by a few ruffians, and Feng Ze came to her rescue. When she first saw Feng Ze, she was so shocked that she called out "Yuan Lie", which must have been heard by Meng Yuan at that time.

"So, you were there at the time?" Zhao Ling asked.

"Well, it's just that this king came a step late." Meng Yuan gritted his teeth.

Seeing his indignant appearance, Zhao Ling couldn't help but smile. This guy was quite attentive. She just blurted out the call just once, but he remembered it to this day. But how should she explain it to him?

"Fengze looks a lot like Yuan Lie, and Yuan Lie..." Zhao Ling paused for a while and continued, "A-Yuan, I can only tell you. Yuan Lie... he doesn't belong here, and I used to be a colleague with him once."

It was indeed "once", and she might never go back to that era. Zhao Ling was immersed in her own thoughts, feeling a little sad for a while.

Although Meng Yuan didn't quite know what the "colleague" was, he understood one thing, that was, Zhao Ling, like that Yuan Lie, didn't belong here. In fact, he had long suspected that this woman was too special, and she didn't look like a daughter-in-law who stayed at home.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of insecurity, and suddenly hugged Zhao Ling tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to embed her in his body, and said in a trembling voice, "Ling'er, you are not allowed to leave me, No matter what happens, don't leave me."

In the hatch next to the deck, Feng Ze sat on the ground, leaned his head against the hatch, closed his eyes, and covered the deep pain in his eyes.

He finally understood why Zhao Ling treated him so kindly when they first met, and why when she was in prison, she pretended to be Mo Xin to help him find the real murderer. It turned out that it was just because he looked like someone from her old age.

He smiled bitterly, picked up the jug, raised his head and took a sip of strong wine, flushing the bitterness in his heart.

After ten days of sailing, the warship finally docked at Suzhou Wharf.

Because of the seasickness medicine provided by Situ Gong and Meng Yuan's various care, Zhao Ling's seasickness symptoms were not obvious on the return journey. Although her face was a little pale, she was still in good spirits.

The carriage that greeted them was already waiting at the pier. Zhao Ling pushed Meng Yuan's wheelchair and slowly stepped off the warship.

Situ Gong had decided to start detoxifying Meng Yuan, so Meng Yuan could no longer use his internal strength during this time, and could only use a wheelchair for the time being.

"Miss!" An excited shout came from afar, and immediately, a green-clothed girl rushed towards Zhao Ling like a light bird.

"Miss, this servant misses you so much!" Lu Zhu pulled Zhao Ling, crying and laughing, not knowing what to do with excitement.

She was kidnapped by the Wuji Sect in the chaos that day, this girl must be very worried. Zhao Ling patted her soothingly, "Okay, Miss, didn't I come back well? Don't cry now, you won't look good when you cry."

Lu Zhu wiped away her tears, paused, and said with a small mouth, "Miss, you are making fun of me again."

Zhao Ling also laughed when she saw that she looked like a little girl.

At this moment, Lu Zhu suddenly let out a scream. "Miss, your face... the scars on your face are gone!"

Zhao Ling was helpless, this girl was too surprised. "Well, so, you don't have to sew a veil for me anymore."

Green Bamboo took Zhao Ling's hand and jumped up happily. "It's great, miss, you've become more beautiful than ever, it's great!"

Zhao Ling was a little embarrassed to be yelled at by Lu Zhu. 

Just at this moment, Leng Aoshuang, dressed in white and fluttering like a fairy, stepped forward, and her normally cold pretty face was also filled with palpable joy. "Ling, it's great that you came back safely!"

"Ao Shuang." Zhao Ling was also very happy to see Leng Aoshuang. 

Although Leng Aoshuang looked cold as frost and was not easy to get close to, but she was simple-minded and sincere, and Zhao Ling felt that she could talk to her very easily.

Xie Mingyu followed Fengze, Lu Ziqing and the others, and Leng Aoshuang briefly glanced at where he was. Zhao Ling caught this glance with sharp eyes, and her heart's cord strung hard: I don't know how these two gourds are progressing, should I, the matchmaker, work harder?

The rest of the people who greeted them also stepped forward one after another, saluting and hugging for a while. The scene was very lively.

After Yun Yi disembarked, he took the people from Woyun Villa to leave first. Zhang Xian returned to the Admiral's Mansion, while Feng Ze and Lu Ziqing urgently needed to return to the capital and left in a hurry.

Before leaving, Feng Ze said goodbye to Zhao Ling, took a deep look at her, and turned around sadly with reluctance and heartache.

For a while, only the people from Xuanwang's mansion and Xie's mansion were left at the scene.

Arriving at King Xuan's mansion, they were greeted by a tall, mighty-looking middle-aged man. After he saluted Meng Yuan, he also saluted Zhao Ling. "I have seen the princess."

Zhao Ling nodded slightly embarrassedly to him, then turned around and glared at Meng Yuan. Why do people in Xuan mansion always like this. She knew she was not the righteous Princess Xuan!

Meng Yuan gave her an innocent look back. You really can't blame me. It was because they liked to call you that way. I didn't force them.

Seeing the wordless interaction between the two of them, Xie Mingyu laughed secretly, stepped forward and said, "Ling'er, let's go."

He naturally knew that King Xuan wanted to take Ling'er to his palace, but he was sure that Ling'er would not agree.

Sure enough, after Zhao Ling instructed Changdong and Situ Gong to take good care of Meng Yuan, he wanted to follow Xie Mingyu back to the Xie Mansion.

"Ling'er!" Meng Yuan glared at Xie Mingyu displeased, and then looked at Zhao Ling.

After spending so many days on the boat, he really didn't want to be separated from her. If possible, he really wanted to hold her all the time and absorb the warmth from her.. Because only then will he feel that his icy heart had warmth.
