Xiao Ling was shaken awake.
When he woke up, he was on horseback.
A woman leads a horse slowly through the withered grass.
Where is this?
"We are on our way to Wangdu."
"Wangdu!"
A glimmer of hope rose in Xiao Ling's heart, only to be extinguished again.
Jiang Xinwei has already married the Seventh Prince and is now probably on her way to Wangdu to pay her respects to the King of Wushui Kingdom.
What was he going to Wangdu for?
Look at that heartless man!
"Thank you for saving me, Miss."
The woman turned her head and smiled, "If you want to thank someone, go to Wangdu and thank the Third Princess. She ordered me to come and save you."
"What did you say?" Xiao Ling was taken aback, his numb heart starting to beat again.
“I was originally a spy planted by the Yu Kingdom in the Wushui Kingdom. I had met the Third Princess once. Who knew that the Third Princess had an extraordinary memory? She recognized me immediately after arriving in the Wushui Kingdom. She didn’t see you and knew that you were imprisoned outside the city, so she ordered me to come out and find you and secretly bring you to Wangdu.”
Xiao Ling's tears flowed down her cheeks.
The Third Princess was not unfaithful or heartless!
"Do you know why the Third Princess married... the Seventh Prince!"
Xiao Ling harbored resentment towards the Seventh Prince.
"I do know that. The Seventh Prince is the son of the Phoenix Queen, and his status is noble. There is no one in the entire Wushui Kingdom who has taken a fancy to him. Who would have thought that he would fall in love with the Third Princess at first sight and be willing to marry her? This is a good thing for the Third Princess. After all, the people of Wushui Kingdom are eyeing her covetously, and the Third Princess's life here is not easy. The Third Princess should think more positively."
Xiao Ling's heart was completely revived.
"I understand! What's your name?"
"My name is Tingyu!"
"Thank you, Miss Tingyu!"
With his worries gone, Xiao Ling felt a little sleepy and continued to rest on his horse for a while.
Tingyu stopped paying attention to him.
The two traveled day and night, and soon arrived at Wangdu.
At that time, Jiang Xinwei had already moved into the Seventh Prince's Imperial Residence.
Xiao Ling was quietly settled in a family's home, where several people were arranged to take care of him and relay messages between them.
Finally, one night...
Xiao Ling heard footsteps outside the courtyard.
He rolled over in one go.
He recognized Jiang Xinwei's footsteps all too well.
"Your Highness, Third Prince!"
"Xiao Ling!"
Jiang Xinwei's voice sounded somewhat hoarse.
Xiao Ling sensed something was amiss and stopped in his tracks.
really.
Footsteps sounded behind Jiang Xinwei.
One person clapped and laughed as they clapped.
"Your Highness said you wanted to take me out for a walk, but it turns out you're here to see an old friend like me."
Emerging from the shadows at the foot of the wall was the Seventh Prince, dressed in flamboyant and radiant attire.
He glanced at Xiao Ling, his eyes full of disdain.
He grabbed Jiang Xinwei's arm in a protest-like manner.
A flash of anger crossed Jiang Xinwei's eyes.
"I just have some questions to ask him. Why did you come along?"
The seventh prince stomped his foot.
"I'm so bored all by myself in my room. I just want to be by your side every moment. Besides, can't you say what you want to say to my face?"
"no!"
Jiang Xinwei's expression was rather unpleasant.
Xiao Ling quickly bowed his head and knelt down.
"Your servant Xiao Ling greets the Seventh Prince!"
"Serving as a bodyguard?"
The seven prince was left speechless by those two words, unable to vent his anger.
“That’s right!” Jiang Xinwei suddenly said, “He was my servant when I was in the Yu Kingdom. He was fickle and unfaithful, which is not the behavior of a gentleman. I intend to bring him back to the Imperial Palace. What does the Seventh Prince think?”
"Jiang Xinwei!" The Seventh Prince was furious, calling out her full name. "You've only been married to me for a few days, and you already want to bring her into your residence? Have you ever thought about me?"
