Li Lingge looked directly into Madam Yun's eyes and continued.
"Or should we invite Jiu Gui here and have him explain to us face to face what exactly is going on and who wants to harm whom?"
Madam Yun and Yun Lanyi never expected that Li Lingge would directly say Jiugui's name and even proposed a face-to-face confrontation. The two of them instantly felt a little guilty.
The ancestral hall fell into silence.
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Lingge took Yun Ji's hand and was about to leave.
"Since there is nothing else, let's go back to the room, my lady."
Li Lingge emphasized the last two words deliberately. He wanted to let these people know that Yun Ji was his.
When the two turned around, Yun Lanyi could no longer bear it.
She let out a shrill scream and rushed towards Yun Ji with disheveled hair, holding a poisoned dagger in her hand.
"Yun Ji! I want you to die!"
She pounced on Yun Ji like a madman, but suddenly froze three feet away from her.
Li Lingge just raised her fingers slightly, and she floated in the air as if an invisible hand was pinching her throat!
"Lan Yi!"
When Yun Lanyi launched a surprise attack, Madam Yun did not stop her at all.
But when she saw her daughter suffering, she immediately rushed out.
"Your Highness, please spare her! She is sick and confused!"
Li Lingge chuckled and suddenly withdrew his divine power.
Yun Lanyi fell heavily to the ground, the dagger fell to the ground, she curled up and trembled, no longer looking like a lady from a noble family.
Yun Wangtian watched this scene and finally closed his eyes dejectedly.
"Come here, take the young lady back home. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard!"
"Father?!" Mrs. Yun screamed in disbelief.
Li Lingge nodded with satisfaction and took Yun Ji's hand.
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Let's go back."
As the two turned to leave, Yun Ji looked back one last time.
Under the moonlight, Madam Yun hugged Yun Lanyi, whose eyes were lifeless, and cried bitterly.
She felt Li Lingge's hot palm and couldn't help but say it after all.
"What Your Highness just said—"
"What?" Li Lingge asked knowingly.
"That's right, that's what Your Highness just said..."
Yun Ji couldn't help but blush, and she couldn't say those three words.
She buried her head in Li Lingge's arms and murmured.
"fiancée."
Li Lingge leaned close to her ear and gently bit her earlobe.
"Don't you want to?"
Buzz!
Yun Ji's ears turned red instantly and her mind went blank.
She snuggled in Li Lingge's arms, her body seemed to have lost all strength.
After a while, she uttered a word in a weak voice.
"think."
…
The next day.
Tiansheng Dynasty, the second prince's residence.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something terrible has happened!"
The butler stumbled into the study, cold sweat on his forehead. He even forgot to greet others and fell to his knees.
The Second Prince, Zhao Lingyu, frowned and said coldly, "Why are you so flustered?"
The butler swallowed and said in a trembling voice.
"At the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, Yun Lanyi...went crazy in public, ripped her clothes and ran naked, spouting outrageous words! Now the entire imperial city is talking about this!"
"What?!"
Snap!
The jade pen in Zhao Lingyu's hand broke with a sound. He stood up suddenly, with anger surging in his sharp eagle eyes.
Yun Lanyi was his future wife, a dignified princess, yet she behaved so shamefully in public?!
"Have you found out the reason?"
His voice was low, but it contained thunderous wrath.
The butler put his forehead to the ground and said in a trembling voice.
"It is said that he was bewitched by some evil spell..."
"The Yun family can't even protect their own daughter, and yet they still have the nerve to talk about sorcery?!"
Zhao Lingyu couldn't help but sneer. It didn't matter why Yun Lanyi looked so ugly now. What mattered was his face.
I've heard for a long time that Yun Lan Yi likes to keep lovers in private, but I didn't expect that she would do such a shameful thing now and let everyone in Kyoto see it.
He strode to the window, looking towards the Yun Mansion with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Prepare the sedan chair! I will go to the Yun family in person to cancel the engagement!"
…
The gilded Suanni censer emitted wisps of sandalwood incense. Li Lingge picked up a lychee and gently pinched the crimson shell with his fingertips.
The crystal clear flesh was revealed like pearls, with juice like morning dew.
"Try it."
There was a smile in his voice as he handed the litchi to Yun Ji's lips.
Yun Ji was flattered and opened her mouth quickly, but she saw that the slender fingers not only did not retract, but instead gently stroked her teeth in the gesture of delivering fruit.
“Hmm…”
The sweet lychee juice burst between his lips and teeth, but Li Lingge's fingertips were still stirring.
The tips of Yun Ji's ears instantly turned red, and even her neck turned a faint pink.
"Your Highness!"
She was angry in a vague voice, but she seemed completely unthreatening because she was holding a lychee in her mouth.
When her watery eyes glared at me, they seemed to be filled with a hint of coquettish anger.
Li Lingge chuckled softly and finally slowly withdrew his fingers.
"My second brother is here. I'm afraid there will be something interesting to watch next."
"Do you want more?" He picked up another lychee and rubbed his fingertips on the shell ambiguously.
Yun Ji turned her face away in shame, but heard a whisper behind her.
"Or maybe feed you another way?"
…
"Grandfather! The Second Prince's procession has arrived three miles in front of the mansion!"
The guards' hurried footsteps startled the birds perched under the eaves. The announcement made Yun Wangtian pause with the teacup in his hand, and a smile finally appeared on his old face.
