The next morning, Tu Shan Lingxi was the first to open her eyes. She touched her sore lower back and glared resentfully at Wan Qijin, who was still fast asleep.
Hmph, this person, who just came back to life, is already so energetic and has really worn himself out!
However, it was precisely because of Wan Qijin's performance that Tu Shan Lingxi felt even more at ease with him.
She couldn't stay any longer, otherwise she wouldn't want to leave. As for the little fox, Su Su had never liked life in the palace, so she would leave her to be taken care of by the Grand Preceptor.
Tu Shan Lingxi had long planned to leave. All she had brought to the Grand Preceptor was disaster, like the heart-ripping in her previous life, and this unexpected calamity—all of which she had brought upon herself.
Now that we've finally managed to save the Imperial Advisor, let's not drag him down with us.
Tu Shan Lingxi thought to herself, reluctantly pressed a kiss on Wan Qijin's forehead, then quietly dressed and used teleportation to disappear from the spot.
"Don't get hurt because of me anymore, please take good care of yourself."
Wan Qijin, who was left on the bed, opened her eyes after sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy. There was no sign of being asleep in her eyes; she was clearly wide awake.
Wan Qijin remained motionless in the same position, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Xi'er liked him, and even had deep feelings for him.
Last night, although Xi'er was initially taken aback when facing me, she quickly became enthusiastic and clearly had no resistance to me at all.
Based on what she had just said, Wan Qijin had a vague idea that Xi'er thought she had brought him such an undeserved disaster and wanted to stay away from him.
In that case...
Forget it, I'll think about it again. I can't push Xi'er any further; she's had enough.
Wan Qijin felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her heart, making it hard to breathe, and even a light exhale was painful.
...
Royal Palace.
Yin Changling was also waiting in the palace. He would wake up in a fright every few minutes, because Tu Shan Lingxi was gone and never returned in his dreams, and he couldn't find her anywhere.
Now that it was broad daylight, Yin Changling still hadn't seen Tu Shan Lingxi, and he was so anxious that he wanted to lead his troops to raze the Imperial Preceptor's mansion to the ground.
Just as he was extremely anxious, Tu Shan Lingxi suddenly appeared in his field of vision, allowing him to see her clearly.
The woman had her back to him; she appeared to be getting dressed, and her clothes were somewhat disheveled.
The woman still exuded a faint chill. She wore only a thin nightgown, with her elaborate outer robe draped over her shoulders, and her long, black hair was loose.
This doesn't sound like someone who hasn't slept all night; it sounds more like she's been with another man. This—
Yin Changling frowned. His nerves, which had been tense just moments before, were now even more strained.
Could it be that Xi'er has changed her mind? Has she changed her mind and no longer wants to marry him, but instead wants to go back to Wan Qijin's side?
Upon realizing this possibility, Yin Changling sat up abruptly from the bed, ignoring the fact that his wound had reopened, and even tried to get out of bed to stop Tu Shan Lingxi.
"Xi'er, you...you come here."
"Um?"
Tu Shan Lingxi had just finished buttoning her clothes when she turned her head. The red marks on her snow-white neck said it all, shattering all the man's reason!
"You, you and Wan Qijin—"
"yes."
Tu Shan Lingxi made no attempt to hide anything. Since she had already saved Wan Qijin, there was no need for her to lie to him.
