Chapter 1970: 2057 magnificent 17

However, looking at Gu Yan's cold aura, this note definitely said something bad?

Xia Li What could he write for her?

Her heart moved slightly, and Xia Ling no longer held back the doubts in her heart.

"Your Highness, I was born in Xia country, and indeed there is a cousin named Xia Li in the family. However, I and this cousin have never had any arranged marriage. Otherwise, if my stepmother were to act up, I wouldn't have been left alone and ended up as a dancer who was sent abroad... "

There was a vague bitterness in her voice, and her tone was calm.

Xia Ling lowered her eyes. She had a good sense of propriety. She did not mention her sensitive identity, but she explained the matter clearly to Gu Yan.

No matter what Xia Li said in the note, the truth was right in front of Gu Yan's eyes.

If Xia Li had really been affectionate towards her back then, he would definitely have helped her when she had fallen into the state of Zhou.

Xia Li did not help her much. Now that she had gained Gu Yan's favor in Gu Yan's backyard, Xia Li suddenly found someone to contact her.

He could even contact the female officials in the Palace of the State of Zhou, yet Xia Li only contacted her now. What was he hiding? Did Xia Ling need to say more?

"You may leave, " Gu Yan said.

Xia Ling replied with a "yes. ".

She peeked at Gu Yan from the corner of her eyes and happened to meet Gu Yan's faint gaze on her.

"I'll take my leave. " She withdrew her gaze and left in a hurry.

Ying Chun stood guard outside the door. When she saw Xia Ling come out, she followed behind her.

The Master and Servant Walked Far Away. Xia Ling could not feel Gu Yan's gaze on her back.

Xia Ling's expression became calm as she thought about the note.

There was light just now, so she probably saw that there was only one line of words on the note.

When the note was sent to the regent Prince's residence, she did not know how much effort Xia Li had to put into this line of words. It definitely would not be like what Gu Yan had said. It mentioned something about a marriage between two brothers and reminiscing about old times with Xia Ling.

According to Xia Ling's impression of Xia Li, in the past two lifetimes, Xia Li had always been gentle and calm.

He was handsome and tall. He was the perfect gentleman in the hearts of young girls. No one could say anything bad about him.

Back when Xia Kingdom had lost, he had negotiated with Zhou Kingdom on behalf of Xia Kingdom.

Although Xia Kingdom had lost the war, the elegant Xia Li had won back a lot of face for Xia Kingdom in front of the four kingdoms.

So... ...

Xia Li passed her a note. The most likely reason on this note was to arrange a time and place to meet with her.

Xia Kingdom's tribute was going to be sent to Zhou Kingdom soon. It seemed that Xia Li was going to personally escort her this time.

How interesting. Xia Ling curled her lips. When she thought of Xia Li, the look in her eyes became deeper and deeper.

Xia Ling handed in the note and left. Gu Yan did not pursue her any further.

After half a month, the entire capital was talking about the arrival of the envoys from the four kingdoms.

Every time the envoys arrived, the capital would be bustling for several months.

From the Inns to the unique items of the four kingdoms, they would circulate very quickly. There were those who were smart enough to take the opportunity to introduce one or two of the special dishes of the four kingdoms. As long as they did it properly, they would be able to earn a lot during this time of the year.

This was the second time the four kingdoms came to pay tribute. The guards patrolling the capital were much stricter.

On the street, an ordinary looking carriage was driving on the main road of the capital city.

In the carriage sat Gu Yan and Xia Ling.

Gu Yan came back from the imperial court. Li Yu sent a message to tell Xia Ling to pack up. Gu Yan was going to take her out.

Xia Ling thought for a moment and wore a white dress.

It was not complicated, but the material was expensive and the style was elegant.
