Lin Xiuyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "What are the conditions?"
Ye Junfei looked at her and chuckled softly: "That depends on Xu Qianting's place in your heart."
Lin Xiuyan instinctively wanted to say that she would do anything as long as he was willing to save people.
But as the words were about to come out, she suddenly realized that Ye Junfei was the epitome of "weird".
He originally wanted to kill Xu Qianting, and given their current marital relationship, if she were to say those words, he would probably kill Xu Qianting first.
She quickly replied, "What place could he possibly hold in my heart? We only have a tiny bit of friendship from when we got into trouble together."
After she finished speaking, she used her fingernail to demonstrate.
Ye Junfei's lips curled slightly as she continued, "There's another reason why I agreed to save Commander Xu today."
Ye Junfei listened to her make up a story with his arms half-crossed over his chest.
Her mind raced: "Firstly, because Commander Xu has helped me several times before, I can't just stand by and watch him die."
"Furthermore, Princess Anle used this incident to scheme against me today. What if she supports Commander Xu to deal with my parents when I return to Liefeng City?"
"Finally, Princess An angered me today, and I want to do everything that will upset her!"
Ye Junfei thought she was quite talented; in such a short time, she actually came up with several reasons to save Xu Qianting.
These reasons have nothing to do with their past friendship.
Ye Junfei asked her, "So Xu Qianting has no place in your heart at all?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded decisively.
Ye Junfei continued, "In your heart, is he more important, or am I?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "How can he be compared to the Crown Prince?"
"He was just one of my former lackeys, and the young master is my husband. Even if he were a complete idiot, he'd know who's more important!" (Biquge)
These words pleased Ye Junfei: "Call me husband!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
The term of endearment was so intimate that she found it hard to say it aloud.
Ye Junfei didn't urge her, but just looked at her gently.
She dreaded seeing him like this, and since she needed his help, she had no choice but to steel herself and whisper, "Husband."
Ye Junfei said calmly, "Didn't you hear me? Speak louder."
After calling out, Lin Xiuyan found it wasn't so difficult to say, and her voice became much louder: "Husband!"
Ye Junfei's expression was gentle, but his eyes lacked warmth and the joy she felt from calling him that intimate term.
He said slowly, "It must have been hard for you to force yourself to call me that in order to save Xu Qianting."
After he finished speaking, he put the medicine bottle on the table, put his hands behind his back, and strode out.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
She knew that she had finally revealed to him her eagerness to save Xu Qianting.
She failed in her attempt to ask him for help to save someone, and instead let him take advantage of her for nothing.
This scoundrel has so many tricks up his sleeve!
Lin Xiuyan pressed her brow; Xu Qianting was someone she had to save no matter what.
Ye Junfei's help would save her a lot of effort, but she also had options if he didn't help.
If he doesn't want to help, then he doesn't have to.
After Ye Junfei left, he was in a really bad mood.
To be precise, it's very bad.
Whether he is willing to admit it or not, in Lin Xiuyan's heart now, his status is far inferior to that of Xu Qianting.
He wanted to kill Xu Qianting.
But after this thought popped into his mind, he remembered the time she protected Xu Qianting.
If he really kills Xu Qianting, she probably won't talk to him anymore.
His peach blossom eyes were half-closed, and his eyes were full of gloom and melancholy.
Finally, he forcibly suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and waited for her to beg him.
As a result, he waited all day, but she didn't come to find him.
Wu Ge then brought news of Zhou Chenyang's troops, saying there was something he needed to handle personally, so he went out for a while.
When he returned to the Lin residence in the middle of the night, he found that Lin Xiuyan was not in her room. His face darkened instantly, and he immediately went to the city lord's mansion to look for her.
The city lord's mansion was dark and quiet, with no movement in sight, and his mind sank slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he went directly to the main house to find Princess Anle.
His approach startled Qingyuan, Princess Anle's guard.
Qingyuan swung his sword at him, but he caught Qingyuan's sword with one hand and threw it. Qingyuan lost his grip on the sword, and it flew away.
Qingyuan looked at him in shock, and he said coldly, "Let Anle come out and see me."
Princess Anle was severely beaten by Lin Xiuyan today, and she was furious and in pain all over her body, so she still couldn't go to sleep.
His once stunningly beautiful face was now bruised and swollen, looking even more terrifying than it had been immediately after the beating.
Princess Anle heard the commotion outside and, not wanting Ye Junfei to see her like this, put on a veil and went out.
He said coldly, "What brings you here to see me in the middle of the night, Your Highness?"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "I've come to discuss a deal with you."
Princess Anle said coldly, "What do you have to trade with me?"
"There are plenty," Ye Junfei said lazily. "It just depends on what you want."
Princess Anle raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes were full of nonchalance: "For example, the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, or for example, Liefeng Prefecture."
Princess Anle's gaze deepened: "You defied the imperial decree and refused the marriage because you didn't want me to interfere in the affairs of the Prince of Pingnan's residence, did you?"
"Are you kidding me by coming here to tell me this now?"
Ye Junfei said lazily, "People from the royal family always think in complicated ways."
"I refused to get married simply because I wanted to marry the person I love, and it had nothing to do with anything else."
"In fact, I have no good feelings towards the Prince of Pingnan's mansion and wish I could destroy it."
Princess Anle asked, "What do you want?"
Ye Junfei replied, "Release Xu Qianting."
Princess Anle was quite surprised: "Xu Qianting doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does he?"
Ye Junfei nodded: "It's nothing, he's even my rival in love, I wish I could kill him."
"But he and my wife have been friends since childhood. My wife is very unhappy that you arrested him."
"She said this is the trouble I brought upon myself, and told me to come to you and release Xu Qianting."
Princess Anle was somewhat surprised: "You want to exchange the Pingnan Prince's Mansion for Xu Qianting? Ye Junfei, are you crazy!"
Ye Junfei laughed: "Everyone in the capital knows that I act madly and do things only based on my own whims."
“I went to great lengths to leave the capital and return to the Prince of Pingnan’s residence, thinking they would be happy to see me back, but instead they wanted to kill me.”
"It's just because I'm the heir of the Prince of Pingnan, and I'm blocking their way."
Princess Anle asked him, "Why should I trust you? Can you help me destroy the Prince of Pingnan's mansion?"
