Jie Lan could not stop her heart, it insisted her to see the young man, again and again, it had soothing effects on her heart and mind.
Love appears in different forms, few forms happened to be the purest and few happened to be worldly vile, what was love, purest affection for the one whom we could dedicate our precious time, willingly by thinking, caring, worrying, loving and many ways suffering for the one.
She could not help but flow with the emotions.
Light lamps were lit by mansion maids, Henan stood in the open to have some fresh air and she was thinking whether she should go and attend the ceremony which was after a week or she should abandon mansion and wander around the premises of Kingdom to search the whereabouts of her father.
It was clear that only Huns had any information regarding her father but in the end, she could not decide both ends.
She could not solely depend on Wan Hu, he was after all sole heir of Crown and he could not possibly indulge in these matters and after the ceremony, he would be bound to the responsibilities and ways of future King.
She looked out, it was the first half of the night, and she had to reach a decision.
The soft wind played with fine lines robs which she was wearing, her hair was neatly combed and put in to bun, and she was not used to wearing excessive jewelry.
Her flawless smooth skin was glowing radiant; the depth of her thoughts could be seen through her bright eyes.
Jie Lan was standing behind, Henan turned behind and smiled, "Who is the reason behind your smiling eyes?" she abruptly asked this question that Jie Lan staggered to hear, she could not predict what made Henan ask this question to her while she was giving her complete attention to her responsibilities too.
She stammered a while, "Miss Henan, its nothing, just that weather is exceptionally beautiful, it would be perfect for a walk in the garden, it would add beauty to inhale the fragrance of flowers," she crafted out abrupt excuse.
She knew this was the time when Lue Zhen walked in and out of the barrier to check security.
"There is nothing to worry, you can walk in the garden," Henan walked in the court and instructed pavilion guard to call for Lue Zhen to accompany her caretaker to the garden. It would be safe for her to walk with Lue Zhen.
Soon Lue Zhen was standing out the inner court receive the caretaker Jie Lan, hesitating she turned to see Henan and she saw a slight smile on her face.
She saw Lue Zhen who was standing obediently staring at the ground.
She walked toward the garden holding lamp in her hand, it was the end of the week first days, cool and mild air was blowing, they walked with limited pace toward garden.
She was thinking that there was a possibility that Miss Henan must have noticed some changes other than this there was no reason to find out if she found out how much she found out? Garden was a big part of the mansion, as soon as they reached in the garden, the air was filled with the fragrance of innumerable flowers, the air was soothing to mind and soul.
Lue Zhen stayed at the outer edges of the garden and let her explore the garden.
He was standing alert his hand folded his back.
She was happy to walk in the garden, she touched many flower boughs.
She would off and on look at the direction where Lue Zhen was standing.
Flowers those could not hold the air blowing and fell on the ground, she gathered them one by one with the help of lamplight.
She was busy gathering flowers.
Lue Zhen was standing alert, he heard some sounds of the buzzing of leaves like someone walking on them, soon he shook thinking because the girl was walking in the garden, right after some time he felt that it was like more than one person walking around the garden.
Few guards were given the duty to this part of the mansion but they were not here right now, also it was considered that garden need not be kept under guard.
He turned and tried to find the girl, he walked in the garden.
She was standing on some distance, she was standing still and looking the opposite direction, he thought that she would turn to see him but she did not move.
He thought to voice her but he did not know her name.
He rushed some steps and came in front of her, she was standing without acknowledging his presence but her spell broke to see him.
Still, her body was stiff just that her pupils moved a little.
Lue Zhen was little perplexed to see her state and gently put his hands on her shoulder to shake her from her daze.
