In the morning, Bai Yan finally heard the good news about Song Yuanming.

He successfully captured Qinglian and led Qinglian through the door without further delay.

Naturally, she made a little noise and dropped the cup to express her... joy.

When Qinglian was led in by him, he made a special move in front of her, looking even more proud and contemptuous.

Bai Yan suppressed herself from laughing out loud, pretending to be betrayed and sad. After she walked away, she slapped the bed and laughed out loud, almost crying.

"Did you see her expression? It's so funny. I'm almost suffocating."

Xiaocui was not very happy, "His Highness didn't even want to give her a ceremony, so he just sent her away casually. She is still embarrassed in front of you. I don't know what to be proud of."

Bai Yan wiped away the tears from laughter. The more people lack something, the more they like to show off.

It's like Luo'er, thinking about what she can't get.

She wasn't angry, she just felt sad.

"Pei Lin."

The man sitting at the table raised his head and stretched out his hand towards her. Bai Yan laughed and sat in his arms.

"I heard Song Yuanhe say before that there will be a temple fair. Is it tomorrow? Do you want to go?"

"Want to go?"

Bai Yan hesitated and did not nod. She was a little worried that his identity should not be exposed, and her identity could not be exposed. It would be too easy for them to be recognized when they went to the temple fair.

"I don't want to go, there's nothing good about being crowded. I want to sleep on a soft bed!"

Bai Yan smiled and shook her head, leaning against him lazily.

He has no scruples and satisfies her in everything. But she has to be sensible and stop embarrassing him all the time.

The temple fair was an important festival in the Song Dynasty. It is said that the Mother River accumulated water on this day and has continuously nourished the people along the coast for thousands of years.

So on this day, people will put lanterns on the river to express their appreciation for the greatness of the mother river.

The Mother River gives girls the right to be brave. During the three days of the temple fair, they can throw garlands on any man they like on the road.

Bai Yan held her head and looked out the window. It was much brighter outside today than in the past. The lights illuminated the sky brightly, and the noise on the street could still be heard.

She sighed and put away her little thoughts. It was better to forget it, so that Pei Lin would be overwhelmed by the garland.

When she was about to turn around, she was suddenly hugged by someone. She subconsciously exclaimed and hugged his neck, "Pei Lin!"

"Let's go, let's take you out to play."

Pei Lin put her on the ground, held her hand and walked out.

"Wait a minute, let's," Bai Yan pointed back and forth at the two of them hesitantly, "Okay?"

"Tonight there are not only lantern sellers on the street, but also a circus. Those who guess the lantern riddles correctly can also go on a boat ride."

Pei Lin smiled and put his arm around her waist, "Is anyone sure you don't want to go?"

The little thing's eyes are growing outside, and he says he doesn't want to go.

He hopes to fulfill all her wishes, but there are indeed some restrictions at present. So in these little things, he hopes that she will be happy and get what she wants.

As he said that, he picked up the mask and put it on his face. The pure white one was seen by Song Yuanhe last time, but this time he changed it.

With a green face and fangs, two long white teeth bared out, it looked much more fierce.

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing and picked up the mask he prepared for her on the table.

It's the mask of a little fox. When they walk together, she looks too cute and he looks too scary.

"Let's go."

The street was indeed very lively, and the two of them held hands to prevent themselves from being crowded apart.

She would take a second look at something she passed by, and he would buy it, and soon neither of them could hold it in their hands.

"Are you out to play today or to clean up," Bai Yan pouted, and handed everything in his hand to Xiao Wu and Xiao Cui behind him, telling them to go back first and not follow them.

When they left, she hugged his arm coquettishly, "Let's go, let's go to a place with fewer people."

Pei Lin put his arm around her and walked forward.

"Did you also go out to temple fairs when you were a child?"

Pei Lin shook his head. He couldn't remember. Even if he went shopping, it happened five years ago and he had long forgotten it.

Speaking of which, it was his first time as a Song Dynasty man to attend a temple fair.

Bai Yan fiddled with the rabbit lantern in her hand and followed his lead.

Because of this mask, no girl dared to throw garlands on him.

"There's a lot of red silk on the tree, it's..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt the people around her stop and stare straight ahead.

Bai Yan followed his gaze suspiciously, and saw a man in the crowd who was obviously dressed in a particularly rich and luxurious dress, and he was walking towards the brothel with several women in his arms.

"What's wrong?"

She stood on tiptoes and craned her neck to look over carefully, but found nothing wrong. When she turned around, she saw the dagger unsheathed in his sleeve.

He looked unclear under the mask. Pei Lin reached out and took her to the side with fewer people, gently pushed her shoulder, "Go back and ask Xiao Wu to pick you up."

After that, he went straight forward.

Bai Yan said in confusion, stretched out her hand and grabbed his sleeve, "What's wrong, where are you going?"

Even through the mask, she could still feel the rage and murderous intent rising in him in an instant, holding the short sword directly in her hand.

Only then did she suddenly remember who the man was. He was one of the two brothers of the He family, He Kui.

She once met Song Yuanming from a distance when he entered the palace with Song Yuanming, but her memory is not deep.

If it weren't for his bulging beer belly, she wouldn't be able to remember such a person.

"He's brother, do you...do you have any grudge against him?"

She spoke cautiously, not daring to let go of her hand that was holding his sleeve. She could hardly hold him anymore.

Pei Lin chuckled, half casually, half sharply, "Yes, he ordered people to hide the witchcraft tools in his mother's concubine's palace."

Bai Yan was stunned and subconsciously let go of her hand. The person in front of her left her behind and walked straight ahead.

He walked around the crowd with long steps.

After she came to her senses, she could only stumble and push away the person who was blocking her, and follow his footsteps.

She didn't dare to call his name, so she could only shout from behind, "My lord, my lord!"

The moment he was about to enter, she hugged his waist from behind.

The solicitor girl at the brothel's entrance sneered a few times, thinking that she was a poor person who was trying to stop her husband from stealing someone.

"Hey, this man is obsessed with one of our little ladies. I'll ask her to come out and meet her."

Bai Yan had no time to pay attention to her sarcasm, and pulled his hand along his sleeve, "Pei Lin, I'm a little scared. There are so many people here. I'm afraid I'll get separated from you and not be able to find the way. You and I can go back."

He can't kill He Kui here.

Song Yuanming said that He Kui was still of some use to them. He had been entrenched in the court for many years and had to be uprooted, otherwise his followers would still breed.

Even if he can kill He Kui today and escape unscathed, how will he explain tomorrow?

Pei Lin took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly under the mask.

He was indeed impulsive because of the hatred that was so close. After calming down, he responded, turned his head and touched her head, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Bai Yan hummed, but still didn't relax her hand, interlocking her fingers with his.

As she walked, she looked up at him from her side.

He seemed to have calmed down and was no longer as violent as he had just been.

When they got to the carriage, he stretched out his hand to help her get on. Bai Yan turned around and took his hand, "Where are you going? Let's go back together."

Pei Lin wanted to laugh a little now, her look of being surrounded by grass and trees was so silly and cute.

"Well, let's go back together."

However, Bai Yan still felt uneasy and insisted on holding his hand to get into the carriage. She stuck her head out and said to Xiao Wu, "You walk forward fifteen steps, then stand still. I'll ask you to turn around and then look back."

Xiao Wu followed her order in a daze and stood upright fifteen steps away.

She sat back in the carriage, pulled off his mask, and kissed him.

Pei Lin did not react to her sudden movement.

He held her on his lap and responded to her kiss.

In the dark carriage, Bai Yan stopped and held his shoulders, breathing slightly.

His breath lingered in her ears, and she lowered her head and leaned in his arms.

Pei Lin nibbled her earlobe, "What's wrong?"
