Chapter 64 Concealment

Ling Qingyan's brain was running at 180 miles per hour.

Ling Zhuoan is too smart.

Isn’t he the male protagonist of the novel? How come he is so smart?

He is not only smart, but also extremely oppressive when he is serious.

Standing in front of him at this moment, Ling Qingyan's heart almost jumped into her throat.

I did do something that he couldn't accept.

The truth must not be told to him.

Given his current condition, she believed that if Ling Qingyan told him the truth, she would not be able to end up well. Not only would she not be able to save Xi Lan, but Pei Wuyou would also die miserably, and her Yaohua Palace would easily be completely massacred.

Ling Qingyan shuddered.

Ling Zhuoan was dissatisfied because Ling Qingyan had a secret from him.

He was dissatisfied that Ling Qingyan was hiding something from him.

After being the crown prince for so many years, he knew long ago that anything done without his knowledge was definitely not a good thing, as it was a sign of betrayal.

How could Ling Zhuoan allow his sister to betray him?

The two of them were in a stalemate, and Ling Qingyan looked stubborn and angry.

But only you know how guilty you feel inside.

It was as if thousands of ants were crawling in her heart, making her extremely anxious. It was also as if those ants had crawled into her brain, obscuring her intelligent mind.

Think about it quickly, you stupid guy! Ling Qingyan’s expression remained stubborn.

Ling Zhuoan didn't urge her, but just looked at her quietly, stroking her skin as if enjoying it.

"Sister, I got the medicine." A clear voice suddenly came into the silent bedroom.

Damn, why is Xiao Pei here? Medicine, what medicine?

Ling Qingyan looked at him slowly, her eyes widening and then blinking.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too." Pei Wuyou had a refreshing smile on his face, which Ling Zhuoan found inexplicably dazzling.

"What medicine?" Ling Zhuoan asked.

"Sister, can I tell His Highness?" Pei Wuyou did not answer the prince immediately, but turned around and asked for the girl's consent with a smile.

"The people in Yaohua Palace are really more loyal than each other." Ling Zhuoan said sarcastically.

"Don't blame me, Your Highness the Crown Prince. This is what I should do." Pei Wuyou's expression was particularly cheerful.

Xi Lan, who was kneeling on the ground with a knife at her fingertips, nodded heavily in her heart.

Even if she really died for His Highness today, she would be willing to do so.

His Highness told her so many interesting stories and bought her storybooks. She has no joy in life and no fear in death. He is so chivalrous and brave that she will accompany His Highness in the next life!

Ling Qingyan didn't know that Xilan on the ground had already caught fire.

She looked at Pei Wuyou stiffly, her tone very weak, "Just look at it and tell me?"

Pei Wuyou should know what to say and what not to say.

Even if he didn't know that he and Ling Zhuoan were having a secret affair, he should know that Ling Zhuoan didn't like him.

Such a smart person would not seek death.

However, although Ling Qingyan was still a little nervous, she waited for Pei Wuyou's words.

Pei Wuyou received her permission and bowed to the Crown Prince. "Your Highness, the Sixth Princess kidnapped me yesterday and forced you to follow her to a secluded villa. But once we got there, the Sixth Princess locked the door and imprisoned you with the Prince of Li."

"The Prince of Liguo has been poisoned."

Ling Zhuo'an frowned slightly as he continued to listen, "The prince of Li Kingdom attempted to do something unkind to the princess. Later, I woke up, saved my sister, and returned to Yaohua Palace with her."

"Sister doesn't want to tell you because... because..." Pei Wuyou hesitated and glanced at Ling Qingyan.

My sister looks nervous.

"Because my sister and I need to discuss how to deal with it ourselves."

"My methods were a bit dirty, and I don't want His Highness to know." Pei Wuyou immediately added, "But it wasn't my sister who wanted this. It was me who came up with it. I'm going to give him a taste of his own medicine."

"If Your Highness wants to punish me, Wuyou is willing to take full responsibility. Please don't blame my sister."

Every word Pei Wuyou said was sincere. If Ling Qingyan didn't know what she had experienced last night, she would have almost believed Pei Wuyou's words.

This is a real actor.

No wonder the system said Pei Wuyou was a good liar! This skill, this acting! He's definitely going to win the Best Actor award!

Ling Qingyan was ecstatic. Pei Wuyou was simply her savior!

If Ling Zhuoan hadn't been here, she would definitely applaud him.

Ling Qingyan is also a veteran actor and quickly took over.

She felt a little aggrieved, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice: "We didn't do anything wrong. She was the one who hurt me first. I... I just wanted to pay her back."

Ling Zhuoan looked at the girl's lowered head and pulled her into his arms.

Pei Wuyou's smile remained the same, but his eyes were somewhat empty, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Well, my sister is right. She has been wronged." He patted her back with some comforting meaning.

He knew that the girl didn't want him to know that she also had to use those shameful means.

"Imperial sister can tell imperial brother about these things. There is no need to go through so much trouble to retaliate against Ling Yao." Ling Zhuoan said softly.

"But, but this is not good. I'm afraid my royal brother will think that I am not good enough." Panic flashed in Ling Qingyan's eyes, and she didn't dare to look directly into Ling Zhuoan's eyes.

"It's fine with you whatever you want." Ling Zhuo'an said, "You don't have to hide anything from your brother."

"It's just a small matter. Don't say you just drugged Ling Yao. Even if you wanted to kill her, my brother would only help you do it cleanly."

Ling Qingyan's heart trembled slightly.

Pei Wuyou raised his eyes slightly and looked at the Prince Da Ling in front of him, and at the same time met the girl's eyes.

Ling Qingyan laughed dryly twice and pulled away silently, "Royal brother, you should release my people."

Ling Zhuoan waved his hand, and the knife on Xi Lan's neck was removed. Xi Lan immediately stood up and stood back beside Ling Qingyan.

Ling Zhuoan glanced at Pei Wuyou and said to Ling Qingyan, "You don't need to dirty your hands with Ling Yao's affairs. I'll send someone to do it."

Ling Qingyan tugged at his sleeve, and Ling Zhuoan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill her directly, but I will give her the punishment she deserves."

"But Imperial Sister, please don't hide anything from your Imperial Brother in the future."

"I don't want to scare you." His voice was so gentle, as if he was not the same person as before.

"I understand, my royal brother." Ling Qingyan was as obedient as a kitten.

The prince finally left Yaohua Palace, and Ling Qingyan fell into the chair in front of the bronze dressing mirror.

"Sister, how was my reaction? Am I very good?" Pei Wuyou was like a puppy asking for reward after doing something meritorious.

"Awesome." Ling Qingyan's heart had not yet completely calmed down.

"Sister, did I offend you last night?" Pei Wuyou said offended, but his face was full of smiles.

"I'm glad you know." Ling Qingyan felt that he was taking advantage of her.

"Sister helped me once, so I want to help her once too. If she encounters this situation again in the future, I will also help her—"

"Can't you just hope for me to be okay?" the girl scolded.

Pei Wuyou pursed his lips.

Then he said, "Sister, why did His Royal Highness react so strongly after finding out that you lied to him?"

"Sister, don't you think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you differently?"
