Since Tu Shan Lingxi had made up her mind to leave, she no longer wanted to stay in the palace.
If I stay any longer, I might wake up one day to find myself as that inexplicable queen.
As she pondered this, she lost the will to go any further and quietly stopped.
"Xi'er, why are you spacing out?"
Yin Changling quickly noticed the girl's unusual behavior; his eyes were glued to Tu Shan Lingxi the entire time.
Therefore, when Tu Shan Lingxi quietly stopped and stood still, he noticed it immediately.
At this time, Yin Changling hadn't thought much about it. After all, he was riding high and thought his marriage to Tu Shan Lingxi was a done deal.
In his view, Xi'er's concern for him and her longing for him meant that she had fallen in love with him, but was just too ashamed to admit it.
He also felt that the two of them were deeply in love and very happy, and the fact that Xi'er came to see him today was proof of that.
Yin Changling should immerse himself in this beautiful dream—a dream woven by Tu Shan Lingxi, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Therefore, Yin Changling gave her a great deal of freedom, which suited the little fox's wishes and gave her the opportunity to escape.
This became the thing he regretted most later in life.
...
However, Tu Shan Lingxi had not yet revealed herself at this time. When she heard Yin Changling's question, her heart skipped a beat, and she braced herself to answer.
"Nothing, just spacing out."
Tu Shan Lingxi barely managed to steady herself. She quickly shook her head, not wanting the man to discover her intention to escape, as that would be troublesome.
Her words did not arouse Yin Changling's suspicion.
This is understandable. People who are immersed in love lose their usual vigilance. They become like fools, only to regret it when they truly lose it.
Yin Changling chuckled softly, gently patted Tu Shanlingxi's head, and said with a voice full of affection.
"Oh, you little scatterbrain, let's go have breakfast."
"good."
Tu Shan Lingxi breathed a slight sigh of relief as the man held her hand.
She knew she had barely gotten through this hurdle, but she would have to be extra careful in the future and never falter at a crucial moment.
Tu Shan Lingxi silently reminded herself, but now that it was time to eat, she secretly cheered.
Forget about that for now. Of all things, breakfast is the most important!
...
The bedroom.
Quietly.
Tu Shan Lingxi discovered that Su Qi, whom she had knocked unconscious, was still lying unconscious by the bedside. She didn't bother with breakfast, grabbed Yin Changling's hand, and pointed at the person.
“Look, I don’t need anyone to wait on me, and she can’t stop me anyway, so I might as well let her do other work.”
Tu Shan Lingxi was afraid that if she suddenly disappeared, it would implicate the people serving her, especially Su Qi, who had been assigned to serve her personally.
She didn't want such a kind girl to get hurt or even die because of her, so she wanted to let her go as soon as possible.
At this moment, Yin Changling's mind was completely occupied by Tu Shan Lingxi, just like a tyrannical ruler bewitched by a bewitching concubine, so naturally he would believe whatever she said.
He spoke naturally without even thinking or questioning Tu Shan Lingxi's intentions.
"Fine, if you don't like her, then I'll find someone else to serve you, someone more efficient and obedient, how about that?"
"!"
The little fox doesn't need that. She finally managed to drive Su Qi away; why would she want to drag an innocent person into this mess?
Tu Shan Lingxi shook her head at this moment. She tugged at Yin Changling's hand and acted coquettishly. Her voice was soft and pleasant, enough to melt a person's heart.
"I don't want anyone following me around. I'm not used to it. Besides, I want to be by your side often in the future, to be with you every day. These people are all in my way."
Yin Changling never expected that Tu Shan Lingxi would suddenly say such a thing.
It seems... she's expressing her possessiveness; could this be considered another form of confession?
"Is what Xi'er said true? Is she revealing her true feelings?"
Yin Changling's words were a test. He suppressed the joy in his voice and stared intently at Tu Shanlingxi, not giving her a chance to lie.
Tu Shan Lingxi knew she wasn't good at lying, so she chose to avoid the topic, her eyes darting away.
"Anyway, I don't want anyone following me anymore. I just want to stay by your side. Don't say anything else."
After Tu Shan Lingxi finished speaking, her face turned red. She lowered her eyes, and her thick, long eyelashes trembled gently, which was especially noticeable on her fair and snow-white skin.
She didn't seem guilty; she seemed more like she was shy.
Especially at this moment, in front of Yin Changling, who was at his most guarded, it looked more like she was being shy.
"Hahaha, alright, Xi'er is shy. In that case, I'll trust you this time."
Yin Changling's eyes were full of tenderness. He was still completely unaware of what was going on and had no suspicions whatsoever, so Tu Shan Lingxi's plan went very smoothly.
In Yin Changling's eyes, the two were inseparable and the atmosphere was intimate, just the right time to do something ambiguous.
He suddenly realized that Xi'er was right; these palace servants were indeed an eyesore, and even made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
So Yin Changling ordered his men to take away the eyesore Su Qi, while the little fox kept a close eye on him, repeatedly asking Yin Changling the same questions.
"Where are you going to put her? Please don't kill her."
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. I'll let you go back; I was going to be transferred here anyway."
Hearing Yin Changling's assurance, Tu Shan Lingxi finally felt relieved, knowing that Yin Changling had no reason to lie.
After all, what excuse does he need to kill someone?
Tu Shan Lingxi finally understood this and breathed a sigh of relief. Now, all the little fox had to do was find a chance to escape.
...
Tu Shan Lingxi kept her word.
From that day on, she followed Yin Changling around like a little tail, always sticking to him all day long.
She wouldn't let anyone else serve her, and domineeringly occupied the spot next to Yin Changling.
This made Yin Changling extremely happy. He felt joyful and happy everywhere he looked, and there was never a better day than this.
He even hoped that Tu Shan Lingxi could stay with him like this forever, and he wouldn't mind if she were a little more domineering towards him.
Just thinking about it made Yin Changling even more excited!
The only exception is that Tu Shan Lingxi doesn't let him touch her at night, and whenever he tries to take things further with her, Tu Shan Lingxi always uses their wedding as an excuse.
Although Yin Changling didn't know what the little guy was planning, he still agreed.
On the fifth day, after court, he discovered that Tu Shan Lingxi was neither guarding the Longde Hall nor appearing in the palace. He searched the entire palace.
We couldn't find any trace of Tu Shan Ling Xi!
Yin Changling then realized that she was truly determined to deceive him, and would do so at any cost!
Little liar, little liar.
