In his previous life, on the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, a turmoil broke out in the Qilin Army, forcing him to leave the palace and go to the Qilin Army to handle important matters.
After he left, something happened at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that plunged Shen Ning into an abyss.
At that time, Prince Chen seized the opportunity and rescued Shen Ning from dire straits.
This made Shen Ning extremely grateful to him and trust him completely.
After the palace banquet, Prince Chen secretly went to the Shen family and acknowledged the child in Shen Ning's womb.
He only learned these things later.
Xie Linyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze falling on the girl without making a sound.
Now, seeing Shen Ning's actions, he is even more convinced that she is just like him.
Then, Shen Ning should also remember their past life, and their more than seven hundred days and nights of intimacy.
But he knew how much Shen Ning trusted and loved Prince Chen in her past life.
The way they treat Prince Chen now is completely different from how they treated him in their previous life.
Xie Linyuan felt a pang of sadness at this thought.
He didn't want to think about it too much.
After all, there were too many sad things in my past life.
Even their only child, Xie Rongjing, died a tragic death.
Back then, every day after returning from the military camp, he would go straight to Shen Ning's courtyard.
Holding Jing'er's tiny body and coaxing him, she personally taught him to roll over and crawl.
I patiently coaxed him until he called me "Daddy" for the first time.
During those days, his heart and mind were filled with thoughts of Shen Ning and the child.
But at that time, no one knew what Prince Chen said to Shen Ning, but Shen Ning insisted that the child was Xie Xuan Chen's.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
Even when he told her that it was he who had been intimate with her at Putuo Temple, she simply didn't believe him.
She only trusted her elder sister and Prince Chen.
She even felt that everything he did was a lie to her.
All those days and nights he poured his heart and soul into, he could only watch helplessly as his child died in his arms.
And from that time on, Shen Ning gradually changed her personality.
If Shen Ning were truly like him.
She must know about the tragedy of the Shen family, and she will never marry him again.
Xie Linyuan's eyes were deep and dark as his fingers slowly traced the back of the white cat in his arms.
"Go down and see what brings this Miss Shen to Tingfeng Tower."
Seeing his indifferent expression, Jiang Chixue frowned slightly.
"The prince seems to care a lot about this Miss Shen."
Xie Linyuan remained silent, only giving Jiang Chixue a cold glance.
Jiang Chixue immediately lowered her head, not daring to look Xie Linyuan in the eye.
"I've said too much. I'll get on with it now."

downstairs.
After entering Tingfeng Tower, Shen Ning did not go to the counter.
Instead, they went straight up to the second floor and headed towards a pavilion.
The pavilion was very spacious, and the plaque in front of the gate had several large characters written on it with great enthusiasm.
Shen Ning was about to go in when she was stopped by a guard in black.
"Please wait, young lady. This is the residence of the host. Please come in."
Shen Ning's lips curled slightly, and without saying a word, she took out a token from her sleeve.
"Upon seeing this decree, do you understand its meaning?"
Upon seeing the token, the black-clad guard's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down.
"Please, young lady."
"Lead the way, I want to see the master of Tingfeng Tower."
"Yes."
The black-clad guards immediately stood up, held their breath, and respectfully led Shen Ning inside.
Now it seems this girl's background is quite extraordinary.
Holding a secret order from the Master of Langya List, his origins are far from ordinary.
I'm afraid their status is even higher than their master's.
Deep within the pavilion, the sound of flowing water could be heard.
Shen Ning had been here in her previous life and knew where the sound of water came from.
Before long, the guards led her to a screen with a hundred phoenixes.
"Girl, this is it."
After the black-clad guards withdrew, Shen Ning looked around.
Before long, a lazy voice could be heard coming from behind the white phoenix screen.
"May I ask what brings you to our Listening Wind Pavilion, young lady?"
As that languid voice faded, the white phoenix screen slowly slid aside.
A young man in white robes sat languidly in a chair, holding a folding fan, with a tea table in front of him arranged for the winding stream to hold tea.
Shen Ning remained calm and smiled serenely.
This person was none other than the master of Tingfeng Tower.
He was also Xie Linyuan's strategist in his previous life.
Jiang Chixue.
In his previous life, the border was in dire need of attention, and Xie Linyuan was ordered to lead an expedition.
A traitor has infiltrated Langya Pavilion, turning it into a chaotic and corrupt place.
After Xie Linyuan defeated the enemy and returned to the capital in triumph, Jiang Chixue had already been murdered.
The Langya Pavilion was thrown into turmoil, Jiang Chixue was murdered, and morale collapsed.
Xie Linyuan also suffered heavy losses.
Shen Ning smiled faintly and took out a token.
"Young Master Jiang, do you recognize this command?"
The moment Jiang Chixue saw the token, her expression changed drastically.
This girl from the Shen family actually has a secret order from the prince.
Could it be...
He looked Shen Ning up and down. The girl was wearing a veil, and her eyes were so beautiful they were captivating.
I had long heard that General Shen's daughter was stunningly beautiful, and now that I've seen her, she is indeed extraordinary.
He had just been looking at Shen Ning so frivolously.
Thinking about it now, I feel a chill down my spine.
She is very likely the prince's woman.
Jiang Chixue immediately stood up and said respectfully, "I have failed to greet you properly."
"Please do not hesitate to speak your mind, young lady."
Shen Ning smiled and took out a secret letter from her sleeve.
"Young Master Jiang is a discerning person."
"I need Tingfenglou to do two things for me, and to find out the whereabouts of three more people. I have written down what I need to do in the letter."
Jiang Chixue quickly took the letter, her gaze still fixed on the girl's face.
"Your subordinate, do it immediately."
He looked at the guard beside him: "Pass down the order to act according to the secret message."
"Yes."
After the guard left, Shen Ning continued, "Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Jiang."
"I hope Young Master Jiang will keep my whereabouts a secret today and not reveal my location."
"According to the rules of Langya Pavilion, anyone who leaks secrets can be executed on the spot. Young Master Jiang should be a sensible person."
Jiang Chixue frowned, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
This young girl not only possesses the prince's token.
He also knew the relationship between Tingfeng Tower and Langya Pavilion, and even knew the rules of Langya Pavilion very well.
I really... can't afford to offend them.
Jiang Chixue immediately cupped her hands in greeting: "Don't worry, young lady."
"That's good."
After explaining the situation, Shen Ning walked out of the pavilion under the guidance of the guards.
As soon as I went downstairs, I saw several boys in blue robes carrying black boxes and hurrying towards another pavilion.
Presumably, news of her has reached Langya Pavilion.
"Miss Shen, this way please."
Shen Ning was led by the guards towards the stairs.
As I reached the corner on the second floor, a white shadow suddenly darted out from the corridor.
Shen Ning was startled and almost fell to the ground.
The fluffy white creature rubbed against her feet, then leaped into a teahouse.
It's a cat.
The cat's fur was as white as fresh snow, and its eyes were a beautiful azure-green color.
The cat's four paws are adorned with grayish-brown fur, and its long tail sweeps back and forth.
Shen Ning's breath hitched, and a bittersweet feeling welled up in her heart.
Could this cat be the one Princess Chaoyang gave her in her past life?
It's so lifelike, especially the grayish-brown fur on those four cat paws.
In her past life, after she gave birth to Jing'er, Chaoyang specially gave her this cat to cheer her up.
This cat comes from the Western Regions and is extremely rare.
Xie Linyuan named it "A Ling".
"Ah Ling?"
Shen Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she lifted her skirt and chased after him.
This cat had been with her for two whole years in her previous life, but in the end, it was poisoned to death by someone in the Regent's Palace.
Shen Ning cried for a long time on the day it died.
The white cat was nimble, sometimes near, sometimes far.
When Shen Ning tried to follow, it leaped and ran straight into a teahouse.
"Ah Ling".
"Ah Ling!"
Shen Ning chased after him, calling out as she went, until they entered the teahouse.
Just as I entered, the door to the teahouse was suddenly closed.
For a moment, the entire teahouse was pitch black, and a faint breathing sound could be heard.
Shen Ning paused, a sense of unease welling up inside her.
She quickly turned around to open the teahouse door, when she heard a series of rapid breaths.
A tall figure cast her body into shadow.
She hadn't even had a chance to see the person in front of her clearly.
The next moment, a large hand grasped her slender, supple waist.
The person in front of her leaned down and kissed her lips fiercely.
