Meeting her moist eyes, Qi Yuan lowered his gaze and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
"Yeah, don't worry."

Soon the next day, Xu Lingyi met the young man of good character that Qi Yuan mentioned.
He is the only son of Princess Wen'an. The princess has been married for many years but has only this one child.
Like the previous one, he was only one year older than Xu Lingyi and had no concubines in his room.
But unlike the previous two, this one did not lose his composure when he saw Xu Lingyi's face.
"Sir, do you mind that I was engaged before?" Xu Lingyi asked the same question again.
"I have a sweetheart too." He laughed, but the laugh was mixed with sadness.
Xu Lingyi was stunned, and Princess Wen'an's hand holding the teacup also stopped where it was.
I clearly told you before coming here today not to mention that woman again.
"Your sweetheart?"
The young man suddenly laughed, his laughter was cold and sinister: "She is dead. Do you know how she died?"
Seeing Xu Lingyi covering her mouth in fear, she said, "She was killed by my mother. If you marry into our family, you will die too, because I can't protect you either."
"My mother doesn't like her, and she doesn't like you, the daughter of a minor official."
"Shut up!" The princess came out quickly, "This kid is drunk. If I didn't like your family, why would I ask him to come and see you?"
But he still didn't stop talking, "Of course it's because of King Yan."
He looked at Xu Lingyi and said, "Can you rely on Prince Yan for the rest of your life? Even if you have a good marriage because of the prince, the guilt won't last forever."
"One day, the King of Yan will no longer care about you. By then, will those families who married you out of pity treat you well? Do you still dare to marry me now?"
The man laughed loudly and looked crazy.
Xu Lingyi had previously guessed that the son of a wealthy family could not be clean.
These families value power the most, so they must have ulterior motives in marrying her.
As long as she uses the truth powder, she can naturally ruin the marriage and achieve her goal.
But she didn't expect that things would go much more smoothly than she had imagined.
This man actually said such a thing.
It was an unexpected gain, even God was helping her.
This marriage was naturally canceled.
It was Qi Yuan who finally handled the matter.
Qi Yuan had just punished the princess's family and returned to the place where he had been before, only to see Xu Lingyi curled up in the corner.
She was trying hard to suppress her tears, and her long eyelashes were covered with tears.
Qi Yuan stared at her intently for a moment, a complex expression flashing through his eyes. He finally spoke, "I'm sorry for you. I will definitely do what I promised. Your marriage..."
"Your Majesty..."
Xu Lingyi turned around and saw that it was him. She quickly wiped away her tears and interrupted him.
"Your servant no longer wishes to marry."
Her voice was still choked with sobs. "Your Highness has been so worried about me during this period. You don't owe me anything. It's just that I'm unlucky and don't deserve a good family."
Xu Lingyi forced a smile and wiped away her tears.
"Or perhaps it's God's will, the general's spirit in heaven, wanting me to go down and accompany him, so he doesn't want me to get married."
Hearing her words, Qi Yuan and Gu Qingfeng's faces changed.
"What nonsense!" Qi Yuan's fierce eyes narrowed slightly.
Realizing his voice was too cold, Qi Yuan slowed down his tone: "I will never allow you to commit suicide. What do you mean by fate? In my opinion, it's just bad luck. If I can't find a good marriage for you, I..."
Qi Yuan paused, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Because he had never thought of this situation.
Seeing that the prince had stopped talking and seemed to not know what to say, Gu Qingfeng jokingly continued:
"If Miss Xu can't be found, why don't you marry her?"
Qi Yuan and Xu Lingyi both stood there in a daze and turned to look at Gu Qingfeng.
