She was calm and composed.

More importantly...

She was helped by Elder Dong, who was revered and respected by the entire Taipei Veterans General Hospital.

The entire Beirong, and even the whole world, was drawn to her by the Prince of Qing, who never gave face to anyone. He also helped her.

From now on, they cannot easily offend her.

Because neither Elder Dong nor Prince Yi wanted to offend them, nor could they afford to.

The Prince Xian's expression shifted between light and shadow. Looking at Xie Lingqin, who stood in the dim light, seemingly born against the light, with a single glance and a single movement that exuded a completely different aura from before, a sudden surge of resentment and jealousy welled up in his heart, almost causing him to lose his composure.

The woman he once discarded was so different, yet he could convince himself that she was simply calm and clear-headed in the face of adversity, and had only happened to learn some medical skills.

However, when she was able to get help from Elder Dong, the female physician, and Yu Qingyi, who, apart from the Crown Prince, almost disregarded everyone else and helped her without caring about what others thought, she felt a mix of emotions, like a jumbled mess of flavors.

This feeling is so unfamiliar and unpleasant.

Xie Lingyu was also shocked.

But she was even more unwilling to accept it.

Why is Xie Lingqin able to receive the favor of Elder Dong and Prince Yi? Why?

"Then, I will see you all out of the mansion." Even if General Xie had many questions in his mind, he knew that seeing the guests off was the most important thing at this moment.

Then, everyone smiled, exchanged pleasantries, and walked out.

Xie Lingyu held all her emotions tightly in her hands, stepped forward, and as usual tugged at Xie Danling's sleeve, forcing herself to calm down. In a soft voice, she gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I will plead with Father."

At this moment, she needed to keep Xie Danling firmly under her control.

Xie Lingyu only felt relieved when Xie Danling lowered his head and looked at her expectantly with his big, bushy eyes. She then turned around and followed Xie Lingqin in a few steps.

"Xie Lingqin, you actually managed to get Elder Dong and Prince Yi to come? You're really lucky." Xie Lingyu's voice was extremely sharp, every word sarcastic.

Xie Lingqin glanced at her and said, "Are you lucky? If I hadn't seen through your scheme to use me to get rid of Aunt Wan's child and get my father to punish me, I would be more miserable than anyone else now. So, you're lucky. You're really cunning."

"Hmph, yeah, how come you're always so lucky, getting Xie Danling to block it for you."

"Yes, good luck is something you can't envy."

"...Then why did you help me just now? Since you already know everything, and know my mother's scheme, why did you still help me?"

This matter was like a huge stone in Xie Lingyu's heart, making her restless and unable to find peace.

We need to get to the bottom of this.

"Want to know?" Xie Lingqin smiled gently, her gaze fixed on Xie Lingyu's face, her words carrying a hidden meaning. "Because I want you to live a good life, so that the wise prince who loves you deeply can one day take a good look at your face, which is already riddled with holes, and make the terrible situation that you once imagined for me happen to you."

"You're dreaming, you..."

"Shh." Xie Lingqin raised her finger, put it to her lips, and pointed ahead. "Father and the guests are walking ahead. If you're too loud, and they see or hear you, you'll be the one who suffers."

"Xie Lingqin, don't get any wild ideas. My face is perfectly fine, nothing will happen to me."

"Is that so? I hope so." Xie Lingqin smiled leisurely, and after a moment, she looked at Li Junru behind her, whose face was pale and gloomy. "Young Master Li, have you heard enough?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyu turned around, her face showing panic.

When did this young master Li appear behind them? Then wasn't that the conversation she was having with Xie Lingqin just now...?

"Master Li, just now I..." Xie Lingyu wanted to explain her appearance, but found that Li Junru's expression was even worse than hers.

"Xie Lingqin, you are truly a poisonous woman."

"Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Li." Xie Lingqin smiled coolly.

"Hmph, so this is your true face? Aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone?" Li Junru didn't care about Xie Lingyu's facial expression, but instead began to threaten Xie Lingqin.

Xie Lingqin pursed her lips elegantly, "Not letting you die sooner was already my biggest mistake. So how could I possibly give you this chance?"

"Hmph, what a big mouth you have."

Xie Lingqin smiled faintly and remained silent.

Turn around and walk forward.

The purple river and giant clam followed closely behind.

However, the giant clam's eyes were filled with deep thoughts.

As soon as the group stepped out of the General's Mansion, they saw a squad of Imperial Guards marching in neat formation, led by Tingfeng, quickly approaching and stopping at the entrance of the General's Mansion.

"This is..." General Xie was very puzzled.

"Thank you, General. We are here on the orders of the Crown Prince to apprehend the criminal."

"Wanted criminal?"

this……

Those who hadn't yet boarded the carriage and left immediately looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Guard Tingfeng, what wanted criminal? This is in front of the General’s Mansion. Could it be that the words you spread are problematic?” Marquis Zhongyong had been oblivious to what was happening all day, but now he had to say a few words in defense of him.

Tingfeng bowed to the Marquis of Zhongyong, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Your Excellency, just half an hour ago, someone broke into the Crown Prince's residence. They all had the tattoos of the Barbarian Black Cloth Guard on their bodies. They confessed that they came to the capital on your orders, Young Master Li. Moreover, just an hour ago, we went to the Minister's residence to investigate and indeed found correspondence between Young Master Li and the Barbarian Black Cloth Guard in Young Master Li's room. Therefore, the Crown Prince ordered us to come here."

Listen to the wind, each word conveying the Crown Prince's command.
