127 Chapter 127 Valiant Princess (2/2)

Lin Xulian refused her apology. ”Please don't lower your head for us lowly subjects, your highness. It wasn't your fault. We should thank your highness instead for saving us the trouble of dealing with those two.”

”You are too kind young master. It is this princess's responsibility to keep the peace in this town and be fair with both my citizen and visitors.” Xing Tanxing said respectfully.

”Lian'er!” Without warning, Lin Xulian suddenly felt weak and almost fell forward. Luckily Rui caught her and held her arms while Xing Tanxing caught her by her shoulders from the front. Because of this, Xing Tanxing felt the bump in her belly. She subconsciously looked down and confirmed the bump.

”You are a (woman)! And you're also (pregnant)! Then is he (your husband)?” Xing Tanxing said while stuttering but Lin Xulian can understand her clearly despite the fact that her sentences were not complete.

”He is really my brother.” Lin Xulian said understanding the inner turmoil in Xing Tanxing's mind. Xing Tanxing visibly heave a sigh of relief. Lin Xulian smiled at her meaningfully that caused Xing Tanxing's face to redden in embarrassment. Rui on the other hand is still completely oblivious to the two women's mental conversation.

When Lin Xulian finally regain her strength, Rui and Xing Tanxing helped her stand properly. ”It was probably because of your condition in addition to the cold weather. It is almost night time already and the inns around here cannot protect you from the cold. How about you both stay in our manor for the meantime?” Xing Tanxing offered.

Lin Xulian doesn't have any reason to decline so she takes on Xing Tanxing's offer. ”Then I can only thank your highness in advance. I hope we are not an inconvenience.”

”Not at all. My elder brother surely wouldn't mind and would understand your circumstances. It would be a bigger bother for me if you get sick during your stay on our town.” Xing Tanxing said with a smile.

”You have an elder brother with you?”

”Yes. The eldest prince, Xing Guang.”

Lin Xulian was surprised. She knows who that is. The hero of the Zhixiang country who became blind years ago because of an encounter with a group of bandits. And also Lady Han Yimei's supposed to be fiancé.
