Chapter 91 Three Months
The emperor's hands were shaking with anger, but as Ling Zhuoan said, he could not search the Eastern Palace in a high-profile manner.
If he searched the Eastern Palace, the court would definitely be shaken.
He looked extremely tired, and for a moment he missed the beautiful woman in his memory.
Just when the emperor was at a loss and wanted to leave, Mu Xianzhi stood up.
"Your Majesty, you only need to make a big fuss, and I, a humble servant, will go and search alone." Mu Xianzhi said.
"Being bold is not a good thing." Ling Zhuo'an narrowed his eyes and looked at one of the emperor's sister's lovers. "Master Mu, you can try. If you take one more step inside, can you walk out of the East Palace?"
Ling Zhuoan's eyes changed instantly, and there was a coldness in his words.
"You're crazy, you're really crazy!" The emperor said angrily, "Your father is not dead yet!"
"May your Majesty live as long as the heaven!" Ling Zhuoan responded quickly.
The emperor began to regret whether it was a wrong decision to give up power so early.
In the end, the emperor and Mu Xianzhi failed to successfully search the Eastern Palace.
At the door, Ling Zhuoan watched their departing backs, his lips slightly curled, and he rubbed the ring in his hand.
When they disappeared from his sight, he took two steps at a time and headed towards the dark room.
When he opened the dark room, he saw the girl was sweating from exhaustion, with many red marks on her wrists and ankles, which were obvious signs of a struggle.
"Tsk." Ling Zhuo'an frowned, "Isn't my royal sister asking for trouble?"
"Just wait here patiently. I will let you out after father and Mu Xianzhi leave. Why are you in such a hurry?" Ling Zhuoan said as he untied the red silk for her.
"Father is gone?!" Ling Qingyan's voice was full of confusion.
Since my father was able to find this place, he must have known something. How could he just leave like that?
"Yes, otherwise, my sister would still want to count on our father to save you?" Ling Zhuoan smiled, as if he thought the girl in front of him was quite naive.
"Royal sister, please give up your expectations and stay by your royal brother's side, isn't that good?" His eyes were deep, looking at Ling Qingyan with a playful and guiding look, "Royal brother can give you the most honorable position, everything you want, and everything will be the best for you."
Ling Qingyan felt her scalp tingling and her whole body trembled.
She looked at Ling Zhuo'an awkwardly, "Forget it, my royal brother. I don't need such a prestigious position. It's too tiring. You should leave this blessing to someone else."
"Thank you for your kindness."
Ling Qingyan is quite polite.
Ling Zhuoan's face stiffened slightly, and he smiled self-deprecatingly. His fingers were cold as he placed them on the back of Ling Qingyan's neck. Ling Qingyan's whole body tensed up.
"Ling Qingyan, you don't even bother to lie to me now, right? Didn't you say you would always be by my side?" Ling Zhuo'an stroked Ling Qingyan's plump lips with his fingertips. "How could my imperial sister not remember the words you said and the things you did from this mouth?"
There was a slight chill on her neck and lips, and Ling Qingyan sensed a hint of danger, as if a snake was wrapped around her, ready to take her life at any time.
"If you don't want to be the Crown Princess, what do you want to be? The Grand Tutor's wife or the General's wife? Or do you want to be my Imperial Aunt?"
Ling Zhuo'an chuckled, as if thinking of something interesting: "When the new emperor presses my wife under his body every night, it will be a romantic affair."
Ling Zhuoan's hand was already hovering above her collarbone.
"madman!"
Ling Qingyan's pupils shrank slightly, and she pushed Ling Zhuo'an away, but was immediately pulled back by Ling Zhuo'an and pressed into his arms. "How is it, does my sister like this kind of play?"
"Ling Zhuo'an!" Ling Qingyan shouted, "Are you crazy?"
Ling Qingyan's heart was beating fast. What Ling Zhuoan said was too absurd, and judging from his expression and mental state, he was not trying to scare her at all!
He can really do it!
His thoughts completely overturned Ling Qingyan's cognition. It seemed as if only at this moment did Ling Qingyan truly feel what the system meant when it said that the male protagonist's darkening was uncontrollable.
Ling Zhuoan doesn't care at all about how history writes about him or how others view him.
He really can do anything.
No, no, she couldn't do this. She couldn't spend the rest of her life as his canary trapped in this palace cage.
Ling Qingyan tried her best to calm herself down.
Go along with him and don't provoke him.
"Emperor...Emperor brother, calm down, calm down, that's not what I meant." Ling Qingyan stopped struggling and even took the initiative to hug him, as if to comfort a moody lion.
"I'm not trying to be your Crown Princess."
"Then we will announce to the world tomorrow that you will be my Crown Princess." Ling Zhuoan took over before Ling Qingyan could finish her sentence.
"No!" Ling Qingyan refused.
"How else will my sister deceive me?"
Ling Qingyan automatically ignored his sarcasm and said to herself, "Royal brother, you are too anxious and impulsive. I can be your Crown Princess, but not now."
"My Royal Brother also knows that I lied to you before. Our friendship was mixed with so much concealment and deception that I don't even know what my feelings are for you. I don't know which of my words are true and which are false."
Ling Qingyan looked truly dejected: "We should all give each other some time, okay?"
"Give me some time to think things over. Otherwise, even if my brother forces me to be your concubine, we won't be happy. Fake is fake after all, and it will be difficult for us to go back to the way we were before."
"Brother, give me some time to try to accept you and face our relationship, okay?"
The highest level of deception is telling the truth. Ling Qingyan's words were not false, but Ling Qingyan knew their relationship much more clearly than she could say.
When interacting with these male protagonists, Ling Qingyan would be lying if she said that she was not moved by those pretty faces, but as she said, she herself was not sure what her feelings were towards them.
Is the throbbing feeling at a certain moment considered love?
It's not pure to have a strategy and a deceptive relationship from the beginning.
And there is only one of her. Those people are too possessive and now they have turned evil and are uncontrollable. It's terrible.
Although Ling Qingyan was not aware of the tangled emotional ties between her and several others, she knew very well that if she wanted to live a peaceful life in this world, she had to run away.
"How much time do you want me to give you, my royal sister?" Ling Zhuoan smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"A year?"
He snorted coldly and then said, "Three months."
Ling Qingyan blinked.
It's too fast.
Just as he was about to speak, Ling Zhuo'an said, "I will give my sister three months to accept me. During these three months, my sister must stay in the East Palace every day. I will not touch you."
"That--"
"You can't leave the palace." Ling Zhuo'an's eyebrows were stained with smiles as he stared at Ling Qingyan, as if he knew what she was thinking at a glance. "The emperor's sister is cunning. What if she runs away?"
"Okay, three months is three months." Ling Qingyan grumbled, "I can't leave the palace, but I can stay in the palace after leaving the East Palace."
"Okay." Ling Zhuo'an stroked the jade ring. "After all, I don't think the imperial sister would be so bold as to have an affair under my nose."
