Xie Lingqin has now become quite formidable, able to maintain a serious demeanor even when blushing. With a slight raise of her eyebrows, she said, "Alright, but..." Xie Lingqin changed the subject again, "I don't think you just want to invite me for a drink."

Xuanyuan was stunned, then laughed, "Indeed, she is Linglongxin. She is a woman I met on the road when I came to Beirong this time."

In the setting sun, Xie Lingqin stood against the light, looking at Xuan Yuandu, and listened quietly to what he had to say.

"A young lady from a prominent family said she came to the General's Mansion to find her relatives..."

"I understand, ignore her."

Xie Lingqin waved her hand with a lazy smile, and Xuanyuan was relieved to see this.

The two went to a secluded tavern, went straight up to the second floor, but...

"Hey Yu, are you sure you can back down? It's just a glass of wine, and you're already giving up?"

In a private room we were passing by, we heard Nan Fenghuang's slightly intoxicated voice.

Xie Lingqin was slightly stunned. She and Xuan Yuandu exchanged a glance, and then the two of them pushed open the door of the private room at the same time and slipped inside.

The interplay of light and shadow inside the room startled them slightly.

Yu Qingyi and Nan Fenghuang sat around a table, the room filled with the aroma of wine.

Five unopened jars of Daughter's Red wine were on the table, while seven or eight empty wine jars had rolled to the sides of their feet.

"Hey, Xie Lingqin, you're here! Let's go together..."

Nan Fenghuang, slightly tipsy, looked quite surprised and delighted at Xie Lingqin, and gestured to her with her hand.

"Oh, Sister Qin, you're here, and you've brought... Xuan Yuan Du with you?"

As Yu Qingyi spoke, he tilted his head and looked behind Xie Lingqin, "The Crown Prince didn't come?"

"You think you're as carefree as the crown prince?"

Xie Lingqin frowned, her gaze lingering on the two of them. It was obvious that they were both drunk and could barely stand.

However, both of them should be clear-headed.

"Xie Lingqin, you be the judge! He insists I like her, but how could I like her? Then he says I hate him, but how could I hate him? Tell me..."

Nan Fenghuang walked over with the wine, spilling drops and swaying unsteadily. Before she even reached Xie Lingqin, Yu Qingyi grabbed her wrist. "You, you come back! You can't tell on me, I...I..."

Xie Lingqin sighed and glanced at Xuan Yuandu. "It seems we should send them back."

Xuanyuan smiled and nodded, "I think so too."

So, instead of drinking, the two ended up acting as bodyguards.

Moreover, Xie Lingqin suddenly thought of a question: Yu Qingyi had said before that the Crown Prince could not drink alcohol. Why couldn't he drink, and what would happen if he did?

Hmm, she'll have to find an opportunity to ask that question.

At this time, Xie Lingni had already parted ways with Xuan Yuandu. She originally wanted to send Nan Fenghuang back to Jinhua Tower, but after thinking about it, she was not too comfortable with it, so she directly helped her back to the General's Mansion.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion, they were surprised to find that Nangong Feng was already waiting there.

He wore a hood and stood not far from the entrance of the general's mansion, like a straight telephone pole, um, mushroom-shaped.

"Yes, she drank some alcohol."

Xie Lingqin helped Nan Fenghuang towards Nangong Feng, but her gaze remained fixed on him, scrutinizing his exposed hands, neck, and chin, as if trying to find something. However, despite her seemingly unintentional observation, Nangong Feng appeared extremely perceptive, immediately turning his head away, thanking Xie Lingqin, and then helping Nan Fenghuang away.

"Second Prince, please wait."

Xie Lingqin stopped the Second Prince and stepped forward. "Second Prince, I want to ask you, that night when we had the small banquet in the palace, did you go to the Flower Falling Palace?"

Xie Lingqin was only asking tentatively and didn't expect Nangong Feng to answer. She even thought that Nangong Feng might reply.

It's better for someone to be angry than to be calm and indifferent, leaving her unable to see any flaws in their expression.

However, to her surprise, Nangong Feng slowly turned around, looked at her, and nodded, "Yes."

He acquiesced.

What are you going to the Flower Falling Palace for?

"For a dream?"

"Dream?"

Xie Lingqin was startled. A dream?

She felt a little nervous about the word "dream" because she had been plagued by such nightmares ever since she transmigrated.

"May I ask the Second Prince what kind of dream it was?"

Xie Lingqin asked this question cautiously, as if afraid of disturbing someone.

Nangong Feng stood there motionless, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. Nan Fenghuang leaned against him, clearly quite drunk, and made no sound.

Xie Lingqin looked at Nangong Feng, and she could feel that Nangong Feng's eyes were scrutinizing her from under the hood.

“I dream of a woman who keeps asking me to save her,” he said.

"A woman asked you to rescue her?"

"She was trapped in the cell. Outside, there was fire, water, and smoke, but I couldn't see clearly. The only thing I knew was that she wanted me to save her, and I wanted to save her too, but... I couldn't."

"who is she?"

Nangong Feng shook his head. "I don't know."

"Then why did you tell me this, Second Prince..." Xie Lingqin frowned, "Why did you tell me this, Second Prince?"

He answered her question.

She is the second prince of Southern Qi. She doesn't think that she is so popular, loved by everyone, and that everyone speaks the truth to her.

"I don't know, but I always feel a strange sense of familiarity when I see you."

Nangong Fengdao.

The wind blew by, producing only a soft rustling sound as it blew the three people's clothes along with it; there was no other sound.

A silent gaze is unsettling.

"Then, Second Prince, do you remember any other characteristics of the woman in your dream?"

“I can’t see clearly.” Nangong Feng shook his head. “Features…” He pondered for a moment, then shook his head, as if sighing and lamenting, “She must be very beautiful.”
