"Protect."

Yuwen Yao uttered two words in a deep voice, then turned and strode into the house.

Listening to the wind, listening to the rain, listening to the sea, the three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Protect?

The Crown Prince ordered Tinghai (himself) to protect Miss Lingqin.

"Ah! I understand." Tinghai immediately flashed away, a bright smile flashing across his chubby face, and instantly left the Crown Prince's residence.

...

General's Mansion, Qingshui Pavilion.

Xie Lingqin had already gotten up, finished dressing, and was having breakfast.

Eating breakfast while listening to melodious and gentle piano music is a rare treat.

"Miss, I really don't understand what the purpose of this music is."

"Curiosity," Xie Lingqin mysteriously added. "Sometimes, curiosity can unleash the greatest power. Of course, this is just the appetizer."

Today, she is determined to make her hot pot restaurant a resounding success in the capital.

"Greetings, Miss Lingqin. I am here on the orders of the Crown Prince to protect you."

As Xie Lingqin was thinking, Tinghai's figure appeared out of thin air in front of her, his chubby face full of a proud smile.

Xie Lingqin's expression hardened slightly. "Your Highness, you've sent someone to protect me?"

"Yes," Tinghai smiled.

"Whoosh—"

A dagger was already pressed against Tinghai's neck.

Listening to the sea, I was stunned!

Xie Lingqin looked at Tinghai with a cold expression, "Go back and tell your lecherous son of the crown prince not to think that I can forgive him just because he's being so attentive."

Deng Tu Zi—the Crown Prince?!

Listening to the sea only made me more confused!

---Aside---

The Crown Prince was heartbroken that the guards were so foolish.
