Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze with her phoenix eyes and said, "By the way, you just said that I don't have any scars on my abdomen. How do you know that I don't have any scars on my abdomen? Did you peek at me while I was asleep?"
Lu Ze smiled and said, "I'm not so reckless. I just think that since you dare to ask like this, you must not be afraid of the death guard guessing it right. The probability of guessing right out of the two choices is too high. You have always been very meticulous about even the ends of your hair. How could you tell others that you have a scar on your body?"
Qi Yuning smiled knowingly and said, "Lu Shaoqing really can see the big picture from the small details."
Qi Yuning looked into Lu Ze's eyes. His peach blossom eyes were always full of affection. Being stared at by Lu Ze, Qi Yuning actually felt the temperature in the carriage gradually rising.
Lu Ze lowered his head and looked at Qi Yuning's red lips. His heart was distracted and his lips kept moving towards her red lips.
Just when their lips were about to touch.
The carriage stopped and Lingling's voice came, "Daddy, Mommy!"
Lichun, who was sitting outside, opened the curtain and carried Lingling into the carriage.
The moment the carriage curtain opened, Qi Yuning even moved Lu Ze's hand from her waist away, "Lingling!"
Lingling Lian threw herself into Qi Yuning's arms, "Lingling is scared."
Qi Yuning looked out from behind the drawn curtain and saw the Crown Prince riding on a huge horse, talking to Princess Pingrou.
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and said, "Daddy and mom are here, don't be afraid."
The prince did not exchange pleasantries with Princess Pingrou. He rode his horse to the side of the carriage at Prince Qi's mansion and said, "Princess."
Qi Yuning bowed and said, "Your Highness."
Lingling was so scared that she just used Qi Yuning's shoulder to cover her eyes, "I'm scared."
Zhao Chong smiled and said, "Why is Lingling so afraid of me? I am his great uncle after all..."
When Zhao Chong said the word "grandfather", he couldn't help but chuckle.
Lu Ze said: "Your Highness is majestic."
Zhao Chong chuckled and said to Qi Yuning, "The princess has been wronged by what happened today. I am here to apologize to the princess on behalf of the Qin family."
"Your Highness is too polite. Qin Yuli has already gotten what she deserved."
Seeing Ling Ling in his arms was really scared, Qi Yuning said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Let's go back to the palace first."
Zhao Chong said: "Yes."
The carriage started slowly, and Lingling whispered in Qi Yuning's arms: "Daddy, Mommy, Lingling wants to sleep in the middle today!"
"No!" Lu Ze said.
Qi Yuning: “???”
Lingling pouted and said, "Why can't Lingling sleep on the outermost side, and now she can't sleep in the middle either? Lingling is afraid!"
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and chuckled, "Your father doesn't have the final say. Lingling can sleep in the middle. Mother also likes to sleep with Lingling in her arms!"
Lingling smiled sweetly in Qi Yuning's arms and said, "Mother's kiss is the best!"
The prince returned to the East Palace, where Uncle Qin was already waiting for him in the study.
Uncle Qin saw Zhao Chong and said, "Your Highness, why didn't you plead for Lili just now?"
Zhao Chong said: "Uncle, what Yu Li did today was really too much. The Qin family has a total of 20 death guards, and each of them cost countless silver and energy. Yu Li is so good, using such a stupid method to deal with Qi Yuning, she deserves to be imprisoned!"
Uncle Qin frowned and said, "Your Highness!"
Zhao Chong waved his hand and said, "Uncle, please leave. There is no room for negotiation regarding Yu Li!"
Uncle Qin looked at Zhao Chong deeply, angrily waved his sleeves, left the East Palace, and returned to the uncle's mansion.
The Qin family's uncle-in-law and the Qin family's first wife both cried non-stop.
"Yu Li has been loved since she was a child. How could she endure the pain of being in prison?"
"Uncle of the King, what did His Highness say? Is it possible to rescue Yu Li?"
Qin Han also said anxiously: "Dad, can His Highness save Lily?"
Uncle Qin said angrily: "It seems that His Highness has grown up. Now he doesn't listen to anything I say."
Qin Zhen, the fifth master of Qin, said coldly: "Can he not listen to the Qin family's words?"
Uncle Qin glared at Qin Zhen and said, "Keep your voice down."
Uncle Qin waved his hands, and let the servants go down, saying: "It's all because of you who pampered Lily on weekdays that she dared to use even the Death Guards. But Qi Yuning is really as arrogant as her grandfather who died early. Sooner or later, I will make Qi Yuning go to jail to taste the pain that Lily has suffered!"
Qin Han said: "But the Qi family has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the North City is like a solid wall. Our people can't get into the North City Palace at all..."
Uncle Qin said: "After the old emperor dies, there will be no one to protect the Qi family. If they are unwilling to hand over the military power, it will be a rebellion. By then, Qi Yang's reputation of dying early will also be gone!"
Qin Zhen said: "Brother, you don't have to be afraid of the Qi family, our Qin family has the military power in the capital.
Once the old emperor dies, the military power of the Qi family will be in our hands. If that kid Qi Yu'an dares to rebel and refuses to hand over the military power, I will kill him without a single trace left!
But Qi Yuning must be kept for me by then. Princess Qi is always so high and mighty, so I think the taste should be good..."
Uncle Qin smiled when he saw his youngest son and said, "Now we are just waiting for the old emperor to pass away soon! This great country is within our Qin family's grasp.
When the time comes, the grievances that Lily has suffered today will only be repaid to Qi Yuning twice as much. You two don't have to cry anymore. Lily has a bright future ahead of her. "
…
In Prince Qi's mansion.
Although Lingling said she was afraid, she didn't find it scary at all when she asked Lu Ze to tell her the story of a mysterious case solved in the Dali Temple before going to bed.
Although Qi Yuning was just pretending to cry today, she still shed a lot of tears. The tears were the result of her hard work. She closed her eyes and took a nap.
Lu Ze's voice gradually faded, and Lingling's breathing sounded in his ears.
I heard another noise, and the sound of Lingling's breathing became farther and farther away, replaced by a warm embrace.
Qi Yuning opened her eyes and saw that Lu Ze still carried Lingling to the outermost part. She said, "You... Lingling will cry when she wakes up."
Lu Ze said: "She can't wake up."
The candlelight was dim beside the bed. Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning who was so close to him. He reached out and gently touched Qi Yuning's red lips. He said in a hoarse voice, "Now there's no Lingling to bother you."
Qi Yuning's face turned slightly red. She had failed twice today.
This time, Qi Yuning was also looking forward to success...
In the quiet night, everything is silent.
The moment the red lips touched, Qi Yuning felt her heart beating rapidly and her mind was in a mess.
Lu Ze controlled his breathing and did not push any further. He just touched her lightly, lowered his eyes and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "I wish you a good dream tonight."
Qi Yuning smiled and fell asleep in Lu Ze's arms.
She didn't know how long she slept, she only smelled the strong smell of blood and all she saw was blood.
She looked down and saw that her armor was covered in blood, but she still managed to hold on and said, "Qi's army, listen to my orders! We swear to defend His Majesty and the Zhao family's kingdom to the death!"
Arrows rained down, one arrow pierced her arm, and another arrow pierced her shoulder blade!
"Yu Ning!"
Qi Yuning opened her eyes and saw Lu Ze coming. Lu Ze picked her up and rushed to the military camp.
"Don't leave scars. She doesn't like scars."
"Sir, this wound is too deep. It's not easy to survive. There's no way to avoid scars..."
When Qi Yuning opened her eyes, it was still dark outside. Lu Ze beside her looked at Qi Yuning with concern, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Qi Yuning hugged Lu Ze tightly and said, "Well, I dreamed that I was on the battlefield. How could I possibly go to the battlefield... It's not my turn to go to the battlefield in Dasheng."
Lu Ze said: "Dreams are always the opposite."
Qi Yuning gradually calmed down in Lu Ze's arms, "Maybe I was thinking about North City these days, so I dreamed about the war."
