Miss Zhan enjoys playing in the dark late at night?” The man enveloped her entire being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, fireworks exploded in the mid-air, illuminating Mu Yan’s eyes that shone like stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan lowered her head, avoiding Mu Yan’s gaze, now suspecting that Mu Yan had been having her watched all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being under surveillance felt unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned, especially since Mu Yan always appeared so suddenly, somewhat unnerving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her frown, Mu Yan chuckled lightly, “Are you so worried about your brother Zhan Hui?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deliberately emphasized the word ‘brother’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan remained silent and didn’t look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan looked up as another cluster of fireworks bloomed in the sky, and surveyed his surroundings, “How long do you plan to stay here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan nodded, having already thought of an excuse, “I got lost, could the Seal Keeper please lead me back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan raised an eyebrow, “Is that so? Going back with the Seal Keeper, aren’t you worried about what others might think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan smiled, “Since the Seal Keeper himself is asking, he surely must be a gentleman of integrity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Mu Yan just stare at her without responding, she purposefully walked in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan shook his head, grabbing her sleeve to lead her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan pulled her hand away, and Mu Yan’s expression immediately turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, disdainfully, he wiped his hands with a cloth, and in front of Zhan Lan, casually tossed the cloth away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked in silence, suddenly, a patrol of the Imperial Army approached and shouted, “Who’s there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan stopped, and Mu Yan turned to shield her in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan, slightly intoxicated by the woody fragrance of his body, stayed silent in his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stand down!” Mu Yan, holding Zhan Lan, commanded the Imperial Army coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Seal Keeper, our apologies for disturbing Your Excellency’s leisure!” Recognizing the figure as Mu Yan, the lead Imperial Army handed his torch to a subordinate and quickly signaled his men to leave quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group departed, the leader whispered, “Lord Mu is indeed a romantic, hooking up with some noble lady so quickly at the Flowers Banquet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another person clicked his tongue, “Ah, if only I had Lord Mu’s peerlessly handsome face, I’d have women flocking to me too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They do look compatible, both in moon-white garments, and matching heights and builds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps, this lady and the Seal Keeper have been together for a while already!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men murmured as they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan secretly peeked out from Mu Yan’s embrace, but Mu Yan pressed her head back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the torches of the Imperial Army, the surroundings were pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t move, they might come back!” Mu Yan whispered in Zhan Lan’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan’s ears flushed, Mu Yan’s breath hot and tickling her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could hear Mu Yan’s rapid heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, a man’s heartbeat is more intense than a woman’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump, thump, thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three fireworks exploded, completely illuminating the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan let go of Zhan Lan, and Zhan Lan looked up at Mu Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met, and it was as if stars shimmered like flowing light within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan lowered his head, Zhan Lan beneath the fireworks, her beautiful eyes showing kindness, her red lips slightly parting, seemingly inviting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan’s Adam’s apple moved, and awkwardly turning away, he left behind a chillingly indifferent remark, “Zhan Lan, continue the journey on your own!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan nodded, “Okay, thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without looking back, Mu Yan left, only he knew how fast his heart was beating at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan’s impression of Mu Yan changed slightly tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan was protecting her; if the Imperial Army had seen her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By tomorrow, the city would be awash with rumors about her and Mu Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Mu Yan seemed to know the purpose of her visit, as if he was purposely there to cover for her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reached behind the rockery, Mu Yan found someone appearing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, as you ordered, I intentionally delayed Young Master Zhan Hui from meeting the Grand Princess,” Biluo stood in front of Mu Yan, bowing as she handed over a sealed letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done!” Mu Yan’s voice was icy cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biluo bowed, “Then your servant will take leave now, staying out too long may raise the Grand Princess’s suspicions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan waved his hand lightly, continuing to gaze at the fading fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vermilion Bird stood not far away watching the two; Biluo, overtly a palace maid for Si Yao, is truly the confidante of Si Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, she is a subordinate of the Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vermilion Bird observed Mu Yan suspiciously, earlier when the Master met Miss Zhan, the Imperial Army came, and he had already sent a secret signal to the Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Master could have avoided the Imperial Army, yet he chose to embrace Miss Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be some personal feelings involved, Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next time he meets Miss Zhan Lan, he should be more courteous since she might well be the future Family Head Madam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Master verbally expresses his dislike for Zhan Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, his actions always speak otherwise, which all seems quite suspicious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Hui left the pleasure boat alone, failing to see Zhan Lan, but he did see Chu Yin enjoying the fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a man beside Chu Yin, constantly talking to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching closer, Zhan Hui saw to his annoyance Chu Yin being made to laugh by the man, her eyes curving up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong discomfort surged from inside Zhan Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached Chu Yin from behind and pulled her away abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her wrist being grabbed, Chu Yin was startled, but relaxed a bit after seeing it was Zhan Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man beside her glared at Zhan Hui; the man chased after them, but a stern look from Zhan Hui stopped him in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Chu Yin forcefully freed her arm, “What are you doing? Zhan Hui!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Hui’s expression was also unsightly as he admonished, “In the palace, you, being so close and merry with a man, what is this behavior?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yin was nearly overwhelmed by anger fueled by Zhan Hui’s words, her eyes sparkled under the moonlight, “None of your business! Who do you think you are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even merely as an acquaintance, I am your brother and I have a right to care!” Zhan Hui retorted petulantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word “brother” incensed Chu Yin again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew it, Zhan Hui never regarded her as an equal, always treating her as just a little girl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yin lifted her head, meeting Zhan Hui’s obsidian-like eyes, “Then better take good care of your own sister, Zhan Xuerou! Who cares to have you as a brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Hui grabbed Chu Yin’s wrist, “If Zhan Lan knew about this, she would be upset too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop dragging Zhan Lan into this, you have no right to dictate me!” Chu Yin, fuming, turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the night, Zhan Hui, not knowing where his courage came from, reached out his hand towards Chu Yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chu Yin took a step forward, she felt a tight grip on her wrist and was pulled back into Zhan Hui’s embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing…” Chu Yin’s cheek pressed against Zhan Hui’s chest, her cheeks instantly flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1338,"2026-06-05T23:35:01.977Z",1,"novelbin.me","2ae8672bdf39dbd91bf0d003980106f8f86f86bd0dae870b936d55a49742bf49","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-61","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-59",751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-cover.jpg"]
