Chapter 37: Breaking the Jar
Why is Ling Yu here suddenly?
Ling Qingyan's brain was spinning frantically.
What should she say?
When she begged Ling Yu that day, she said that she and Ji Yanxing were just friends. Ling Yu also confessed to her his physical desire for her, and she said she wanted to give it a try with him.
Then Ling Yu was very trustworthy these days and helped her rescue Ji Yanxing. As a result, she had a secret meeting with Ji Yanxing as soon as Ji Yanxing was released from prison.
He caught him red-handed.
Ling Qingyan glanced at the rippling river surface.
"Tang Ning, don't think about jumping off the boat. It's too dangerous. General Ji can't afford this accident." Ling Yu's voice was indifferent and a little mocking.
No, he actually saw what she was thinking.
And blocked her road.
Ling Qingyan felt a throbbing pain in her head.
How could I be so unlucky.
Ji Yanxing frowned. He didn't know what Prince Yong meant. Why was His Highness going to jump into the river?
Although he really didn't want anyone to disturb him and His Highness from boating on the lake, Prince Yong had just rescued him from prison.
Ji Yanxing bowed and said, "I haven't had time to thank the prince yet."
Ling Yu glanced at him, his tone a little cold, "Don't thank me, if it weren't for my little niece begging me to save your friend, I wouldn't care whether you live or die."
He spoke harshly, even a little harshly.
Ji Yanxing didn't understand where his hostility towards him came from, but he didn't care and continued, "Your Highness, have you come uninvited? Is there something you want to see His Highness Tang Ning about?"
"I came uninvited." Ling Yu nodded and smiled. "What do you think, little niece? Why don't you say anything?"
She spoke? What could she say?
She's about to explode!
Hold on, huh.
"The emperor's uncle naturally has his own reasons. Tang Ning dare not interfere."
Ling Yu snorted coldly, glanced at Ji Yanxing, and said to Ling Qingyan: "Whether in the name of the emperor's uncle or in the care your father entrusted to me before his death, I am considered your elder."
"You're really capable of meeting a man in the moat late at night, my niece."
Ling Yu ordered his secret guards: "Take the princess away!"
Ji Yanxing grabbed Ling Qingyan.
"Isn't your Highness Prince Yong a bit too nosy?" Ji Yanxing asked directly, regardless of whether the person opposite him had saved him from prison or not.
The two of them were in a stalemate, neither of them giving in.
Ling Qingyan saw murderous intent in Ling Yu's eyes.
She immediately looked at Ji Yanxing and shook her head: "Don't worry, the emperor's uncle won't do anything to me, but you will have to eat the welcoming banquet alone."
She patted Ji Yanxing's hand and let go of his hand.
Help! She felt like she and Ji Yanxing were the young couple separated by their parents in the early idol dramas she watched eight hundred years ago.
On a not-so-conspicuous boat in the distance, a young man stood at the bow, taking in the scenery on the beautiful and eye-catching boat. The wine in the glass in his hand was empty, and he threw the glass into the moat, with a deep smile in his eyes.
Ling Qingyan was brought back to Prince Yong's Mansion by Prince Yong.
Along the way, Ling Qingyan wanted to explain, but Ling Yu stopped her and said coldly, "Explain when we get back."
Ling Qingyan followed him back to the palace trembling with fear.
Inside the house, Ling Yu dismissed all the servants, leaving only the two of them.
Ling Yu's voice was cold as he sneered, "Ling Qingyan, I went to all this trouble to rescue your so-called friend, just to see you two being all sweet and affectionate?"
Ling Qingyan hurriedly explained, "No, Uncle Emperor, he and I are just ordinary friends. As a friend, I prepared this welcoming banquet to welcome him back."
Her eyes were extremely sincere, as if she was particularly afraid that he would misunderstand her, and her face turned red with anxiety.
Ling Yu moved closer to her step by step.
He pressed the issue step by step with the attitude of a superior.
"What kind of welcoming banquet requires only two people to eat alone in the evening? Doesn't he have any other friends? Or is it that my niece treats the emperor's uncle like a fool and thinks I will believe anything you say?"
Ling Qingyan fell into the armchair, and Ling Yu held the armrests on both sides, completely wrapping her in his territory.
The two were very close to each other, and Ling Yu stared at the girl in front of him with extremely aggressive eyes.
He has always had a strong possessiveness towards his things, and he hates being cheated the most.
"What are you going to do with him next, my little niece? If I hadn't ruined your good fortune today, would I have given myself to him as a gift for the welcoming banquet and let him put pressure on you?"
Ling Yu's dark pupils were deep, like a strong and turbulent tide, as if they wanted to swallow her up.
His eyes wandered over Ling Qingyan without any concealment, and his rough fingers stroked Ling Qingyan's beautiful face, which was as soft as a petal.
"What a pity! I interrupted my niece's good thing. Otherwise—" Ling Yu's eyes were stained with lust, and the corners of his eyes were raised. His beautiful eyes seemed to be bewitching. "My niece, will you do what I want to do next with me?"
"No!" Ling Qingyan tried to push Ling Yu away, but the man did not move at all because of her.
Instead, he clamped her wrist.
"No? Why not? Wasn't it my niece who seduced me in the cave? Or is it that my niece loves Ji Yanxing so much that she can't live without him?"
Ling Yu's voice was low and mellow, tracing her outline, his words threatening: "That's simple. After all, I rescued her, so just kill her."
The man's rough fingers gently rubbed her, causing her to feel itchy. Ling Qingyan was almost driven crazy by him.
She must keep Ling Yu steady.
She raised her pretty little face and looked at him. Her neck was slender, her collarbone was distinct, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Ling Yu." She called the man's name in a rebellious manner, "Why don't you believe me?"
Ling Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her scrutinizingly, wanting to see how she would argue.
"He and I have clearly never done anything inappropriate." Ling Qingyan blinked, and big tears fell.
The girl's tears fell on Ling Yu's hand, and they were extremely hot.
Ling Yu felt as if all the blood in his body was on fire, and his Adam's apple rolled.
"How can you convict me just because I had dinner on the same pleasure boat with General Ji? Do you really distrust me?"
Ling Qingyan cried harder and harder, "You still say such vulgar words to humiliate me. What do you think of me?"
"You are my uncle, and you are also friends with my biological father. After all, I am your junior. How can you speculate about me like this?"
"You helped me rescue Ji Yanxing, I'm very grateful, and I also want to try to like you, regardless of the world's eyes, and try to like my uncle. Do you know what will happen to me if I am discovered?"
"I'm being criticized by everyone." The girl's tears were like beads that had broken off the string, and her little face was wrinkled, as if hiding endless grievances.
"A woman's reputation is so important, yet you so easily pin this accusation on me."
"If I liked Ji Yanxing, I would have agreed to the marriage that day when the emperor wanted to. What does the emperor's uncle have to do with it?"
"If the Emperor's uncle still doesn't believe me after I've explained a thousand times, then there's no need for me to say anything more." The girl wiped away her tears stubbornly and looked at Ling Yu. "The Emperor's uncle can just send Ji Yanxing back to prison. After all, the Emperor's uncle has great powers and can take anyone's life he wants."
Ling Qingyan looked like she had given up hope.
"Uncle Emperor, why not just take my life as well? After all, you think I deceived you and disobeyed you." Ling Qingyan seemed to have thought of something and laughed sarcastically, "Oh, no, Uncle Emperor is also interested in my body."
"Rape first and then kill, can be considered as satisfying the desires of the emperor's uncle." Ling Qingyan's eyes were like a dry well, looking at Ling Yu coldly, full of disappointment.
