Chapter 62: Don't Make a Sound

Ling Qingyan was very nervous.

A muffled groan escaped Pei Wuyou's voice.

Ling Qingyan quickly covered his lips with her free hand and whispered, "Don't make a sound."

The girl's face looked extremely nervous and panicked.

Pei Wuyou raised his hand, and all the candles in the side hall went out.

"This way, sister can rest assured."

Ling Qingyan's heart was in her throat.

"If you withdraw now, all your efforts will be wasted."

"But if the emperor sees you and me like this, we're both doomed!"

In the dark room, Pei Wuyou couldn't see the girl's expression, but he could imagine how wonderful it must be.

"You won't find out."

Ling Qingyan's whole body tensed up.

She was like a rabbit in the woods hiding from the hunter.

But we must not let my royal brother find out.

On the other side, Pei Wuyou...

On the other hand, Ling Qingyan listened carefully and anxiously to the movements outside the door.

The side hall is not far from Ling Qingyan's main hall.

Ling Zhuo'an walked to the front of Ling Qingyan's main hall and asked, "Is your princess asleep?"

Ling Qingyan stopped breathing, waiting for Xi Lan's answer.

Ling Qingyan almost screamed out subconsciously.

She looked at the culprit viciously.

I was very puzzled.

Isn't he afraid?

What kind of psychological quality is this?

Although she was afraid of the risk of failure, Ling Zhuoan repeatedly expressed her dislike for Pei Wuyou in front of him.

He can still do his own thing so calmly.

"Your Highness, the princess drank a little too much at the banquet and has already taken some hangover medicine and gone to bed." Xi Lan said respectfully in a calm voice, without a single suspicious look on her face.

Xi Lan just noticed that the lights in the side hall went out when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into the palace, and she knew that the princess must not want the Crown Prince to know that she was in the side hall.

Ling Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew Xilan was smart, so she would go back and give her a raise in monthly wages!

"Sister, please be serious." Pei Wuyou said in a low voice.

Ling Qingyan gestured to him to keep quiet.

"Has anyone caused trouble for your princess today?" Ling Zhuoan was pulled aside by his uncle and talked a lot about the flood. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, and came to Yaohua Palace for some unknown reason.

"No." Xi Lan said at the risk of losing her head.

Ling Zhuoan glanced into the hall, stopped asking questions, and turned to leave.

As the prince stepped out of Yaohua Palace.

Ling Qingyan was extremely scared and felt like she was in a stormy night. The rain was extremely heavy and the wind was blowing very hard.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's my fault." The young man's voice was filled with laughter. The candles in the room had not been lit yet. Even though Ling Qingyan couldn't see his eyes, she could feel that Pei Wuyou was in a very good mood at the moment.

The candlelight was lit, and Pei Wuyou took the girl to wash her hands, no, he helped the girl wash her hands that were stained with dust.

Serve with great care.

"I'm helping my sister wash clothes." Pei Wuyou has a strong sense of service.

"No." Ling Qingyan said, "I won't wear this dress again."

It was too easy for her to think of this ridiculous night.

It’s dangerous, too dangerous. What if my brother finds something unusual?

The consequences are unimaginable.

"Then I'll help my sister deal with it." Pei Wuyou said considerately.

Ling Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "You're very thoughtful."

She really didn't want other people to see this dress.

Pei Wuyou smiled brightly.

"It's all I should do for my sister."

The medicine should have taken effect, why is Pei Wuyou still looking so...

Ling Qingyan glanced at the love value.

Good, it's full.

One fifth of the progress has been completed!

Ling Qingyan handed him her dirty outer garment, put on a cloak, and returned to the hall.

After his sister left, Pei Wuyou lay alone on the bed. The unwanted clothes left by Ling Qingyan were neatly placed beside him. His eyes were burning, as if he was looking at someone through the clothes.

He exchanged the medicine on purpose.

Ling Yao's people wanted to drug Xiao Yuanzhao from Li Country, but he replaced the medicine with ordinary muscle softening powder and drank the bowl of abnormal aphrodisiac himself.

Li Guo is such a shameless guy. He pretends to have Chinese medicine even though he clearly doesn't have any.

It's really hateful.

But even if he pretended, his sister would not show him any mercy.

My sister only feels pity for herself. She feels sorry for herself, doesn't want to see herself die, and can't bear to see herself suffer.

Thinking of the girl’s expressions tonight, helplessness, frustration and blushing face.

Something beneath me was stirring again.

He sat up.

The bed trembled slightly.

…

The next day, Qiwu Palace.

"You useless thing! You can't even do such a simple thing. I think Ling Yao really wants to marry a foreign prince!" The queen was shaking with anger.

She had already detained the prince and even sent her own guards disguised as assassins to tie up Han Qi. Ling Qingyan had no one to save her, so how could she escape?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Han Qi has escaped and the Crown Prince has come to Qiwu Palace." The eunuch said in panic.

The queen's mood became even worse when she heard the news.

The prince walked quickly to the queen's bedroom.

"Your son greets the Queen Mother." Ling Zhuoan saluted as usual, but his voice was cold.

The Queen suppressed her emotions and said slowly, "How did the Crown Prince find time to pay his respects to Mother today? Sit down. It's been a long time since we, mother and son, have sat down and had a good chat like this."

"I feel like I have never sat down and had a good talk with my mother." The prince said in a bad tone.

The queen's face froze and she waved her hand, asking all the palace servants in the bedroom to leave.

"Zhuo An, why are you so angry?" Only the prince and the queen were left in the room, and the queen still looked like a kind mother.

Ling Zhuoan looked at her current appearance as a kind mother and just found it funny.

When he was young, she taught him to suppress human desires and be ruthless. She had people watch him study diligently every day. She had no motherly love for him. Instead, she treated him more like a sculpture of a perfect work of art. Other mothers would talk and joke with their children, but she told him to be wary of everyone and even prevented him from getting close to her.

He did learn very well, and everyone around him was afraid of him.

Until a living soul appears.

One who is different from those boring people appears.

And the woman in front of him actually wanted to control his current life.

"My queen mother hired someone to plot against Tang Ning." Ling Zhuoan didn't ask a question.

Although Han Qi did not directly say that it was someone from Qiwu Palace, it was not difficult to guess that there was someone with such a powerful guard who could help Ling Yao deal with Tang Ning.

"Zhuo An, are you questioning your mother for an irrelevant person?" The Queen raised her voice, and her fingertips that were pinching the armrest turned white.

"Why does the Queen have to pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son in front of me? If you really want to stage a heartwarming scene of a loving mother and a filial son, you should help your son, right?" Ling Zhuoan's voice was indifferent, and his eyes were fixed on the man sitting above him who had been dignified and solemn all his life.
