Chapter 5904 The arrival of Miss Chen Xian!

Meng Qinxian's words made Lin Bai feel speechless. Fortunately, Yi Heze and Nie Shang held him down in time, giving Lin Bai a chance to speak.

"The princess regained control of Prince Hong's Mansion and restored her title. I thought that the princess would have a lot of time to be busy, so I didn't send an invitation."

Lin Bai first made an excuse for himself and explained.

Miss Shen Xian was not invited because Lin Bai had no intention of inviting her at all.

Since Lin Bai came to the imperial capital, he has only met Miss Shen Xian three times, including this time at Nantian Hunting Garden.

For the first time, Lin Bai went to the Moon Palace to investigate the death of the Holy Son. He went to Yaotai to meet Miss Shen Xian, but was severely injured by Zhang Linghu when he came out.

The second time, Lin Bai was thinking about things in the rain, and Miss Shen Xian came with an umbrella.

The third time was at Nantian Hunting Garden.

After meeting three times, we can't say we have a deep friendship. At most, it's just a chance encounter.

If Emperor Chu hadn't suddenly granted marriage to Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian, after Emperor Chu's birthday, perhaps Lin Bai would never have anything to do with this woman again in his life.

The people Lin Bai invited to the banquet were all close friends of Lin Bai's. It was impossible for him to invite Miss Shen Xian.

"Since the princess is here, let's sit down and have a glass of water." Lin Bai smiled and invited Miss Shen Xian to sit down.

Since Miss Shen Xian has arrived, and she is now the princess of Prince Hong's Mansion, with a high status, Lin Bai cannot treat her lightly out of etiquette.

"Come here, sit down next to Lord Langhou!" Miss Shen Xian ordered the envoy.

The messenger responded, hurriedly fetched a low table and seats, and placed them next to Lin Bai's seat.

The two seats were right next to each other. When the two sat down, they felt like they were touching each other, very intimate.

Everyone present watched all this with great interest, only Lin Bai was confused.

What does this woman want to do?

Although Lin Bai was confused, he still pretended to be calm and sat in his seat.

His intuition told him... Miss Shen Xian would never come here so suddenly.

Her arrival must have other consents.

really.

After Lin Bai sat down, with their shoulders close to each other, Miss Shen Xian whispered: "If I don't come, there will probably be an uproar in the imperial capital tomorrow."

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Why?"

Miss Shen Xian sighed softly: "In the Nantian Hunting Garden, according to the investigation of the Zhaoxing Division, it seems that King Liang bribed the Immortal Sect and asked them to force you to hunt."

"You should be very clear about Prince Liang's goal, which is to draw you into Prince Liang's camp."

"Later, when faced with the forced marriage by Prince Liang, His Majesty had no choice but to send a message to discuss it with me, so that's what happened next."

Miss Shen Xian explained to Lin Bai in a low voice everything that happened in the Nantian Hunting Garden, which made Lin Bai feel like he suddenly realized that many unsolvable mysteries were being solved at this moment.

Lin Bai has always been curious...how could the Holy Son of the Immortal Sect provoke the Chu warriors for no reason?

Even if this holy son of the Immortal Holy Cult is unruly and has his eyes high, in an occasion like the Yuhua Tiangong, the elders of their sect should have told them to pay attention in advance. How could they be so rude.

It turns out that the King of Liang was behind this.

King Liang had already known that Lin Bai would not participate in the hunting at Nantian Hunting Garden, so he came up with this idea?

"I see..." Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization, "Then I would like to thank the princess and your majesty for rescuing me."

"The princess came to my rescue and did not hesitate to take advantage of her fame. Lin is extremely grateful!"

"Princess, please rest assured. After a while, I will go to the palace to see your majesty and ask your majesty to take back your order and terminate our engagement."

Lin Bai's tone was brisk, and he felt relieved.

"You seem very happy?" Miss Shen Xian frowned and glanced at Lin Bai doubtfully.

"Princess, to be honest, I already have a family." Lin Bai explained with a smile: "Although I am currently separated from them, I will go to find them soon."

"So this marriage..." Lin Bai smiled, "I was still worried about this marriage. Now I heard from the princess that since it is a delaying strategy set by His Majesty, it will naturally be easier to dissolve the marriage. .”

"Of course I'm happy."

Have a family? ...The eyes in Miss Shen Xian's autumn eyes solidified a little.

"I'm afraid you can't lift it just because you want to." Miss Shen Xian shook her head and sighed.

Lin Bai frowned, "What does this mean, Princess?"

Miss Shen Xian said: "Your Majesty announced the marriage in the Yuhuatian Palace. If you want to terminate the engagement, you are despising the Chu State and the royal family!"

"At that time, not only will you be subject to the wrath of the Chu royal family, but the Tianshui Sect will also be involved."

"Everything you have planned for His Highness Prince Chen, and the opportunity for Tianshui Sect to make a comeback, will all be in vain!"

When Lin Bai heard this, his expression gradually became serious.

"You should know...the most important thing for the royal family is face." Miss Shen Xian said, "If you break off the engagement, you will make the royal family lose face. Do you think the royal family will let you go?"

"Don't look at your majesty and the current royal family and nobles of Chu State smiling at you. That's because you didn't fall into their hands."

"Once you offend the interests of the royal family, let alone the top genius in Chu State, even if you are a member of the royal family, you will not be able to escape."

"You should understand that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, right?"

Miss Shen Xian arrived slowly, and Lin Bai's face became more and more gloomy upon hearing this.

Lin Bai finally understood the implication of Miss Shen Xian's words, that is...even if Emperor Chu didn't really want to grant marriage to Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian, but now that the words have been spoken out, even if it is a lie, it must be a "fake show" Really done”.

"But wouldn't this make the princess feel aggrieved?" Lin Bai persuaded the princess by retreating, "Why don't the princess and I work together to find a way to terminate the engagement?"

"I don't think the princess really wants to become a Taoist couple with me if she meets me by chance, right?"

Miss Shen Xian looked confused and said: "I am a child of the royal family, I have no right to choose."

"Since His Majesty has chosen you, I can't object."

Lin Bai sighed and shook his head, upset.

This is the misfortune of royal women. Although they are born with fine clothes and fine food, they cannot make choices for themselves.

The princes of the royal family fight all day long for their heirs; most of the princes' concubines are just tools for marriage.

For example, Miss Chen Xian, Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue... they have no right to choose.

For example, Lin Bai, Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue could only meet by chance, but they were able to express their deepest affection for Lin Bai in Yuhuatian Palace, which was simply unacceptable to Lin Bai.

If Emperor Chu will not take back his life, and Miss Shen Xian cannot resist Emperor Chu's will... doesn't that mean that Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian are really going to "make a fake show"? No, I still have to find a way to break off the engagement, otherwise Xiaoxiao will kill me... Lin Bai smiled bitterly and picked up the wine glass, his eyes were deep and wise.
