Chapter 87 Darkening
"My brother and I are lovers."
The girl's clear and nervous voice blew past Ling Zhuoan with the evening breeze and reached everyone's ears.
With a crisp "clang" sound, Ji Yanxing lost his grip on the sword and it fell to the ground.
The sword fell to the ground, his heart broke along with something, and he looked at Ling Qingyan in disbelief.
Ji Yanxing couldn't accept it, his eyes were a little flustered, but he stared at Ling Qingyan: "No, no, Your Highness, this is not right."
"You said you liked me."
"You said you wanted to be with me."
"You stayed with me in prison and told me so much. You also prepared a lake cruise and fireworks for me. Your Highness likes me and wants to marry me, right?" Ji Yanxing's eyes were full of pleading and expectation.
Lake cruise, fireworks, and prison company.
Ling Zhuoan and the others' expressions changed.
Ling Zhuo'an rubbed his fingertips, "Didn't the imperial sister say that she doesn't have any feelings for General Ji?"
"Royal brother, let me ask you again, what is your relationship with Ji Yanxing?" Ling Zhuoan said with a smile, but even Yan Hong could feel the anger in that smile, like the calm before the storm.
It's so scary, how could His Highness be involved with this royal brother?
He doesn't deserve it.
Yan Hong kept criticizing the Prince of Ling in his mind, and didn't think that it was inappropriate for him to put the knife on the girl's neck.
Ling Qingyan could feel that the blackening values of the five male protagonists in her mind were fluctuating.
But once a gap was opened, she could no longer bear it.
His mouth doesn't listen to him and he answers whatever he is asked.
"I also have feelings for General Ji."
"Oh, you have feelings for him?" Ling Zhuo'an sneered, "So you're not just kind to my brother?"
"Ah, no wonder," Ling Zhuo'an said, as if he had suddenly realized something, but his eyes were filled with sinisterness. "No wonder you wouldn't make our affairs public no matter what you said."
"It turns out you're not afraid of being criticized by others, but you're afraid your lover will find out."
A red exclamation mark appeared in my mind.
Ling Zhuoan’s blackening value is maxed out.
"So where are the others? This reckless assassin lured them here. Could this also be related to the imperial sister?"
"After all, these people—" Ling Zhuo'an glanced at them, "their expressions weren't very good."
Ling Qingyan felt like a prisoner about to be executed, being questioned again and again without even the chance to lie.
"They all have a deep relationship with me."
"My royal brother is definitely not my only lover. I have more or less ambiguous relationships with others."
"I'm also very tired every day, especially when you meet me together, God knows how nervous and difficult it is for me."
Ling Qingyan's whole body was tense and her head was buzzing.
It's over, everything exploded.
The blackening values are all maxed out.
Mission failed.
With a snap, Yan Hong felt a burning sensation on his hand and was a little stunned for a moment.
However, at the moment when he was stunned and relaxed, Ling Zhuoan immediately drew his bow and shot at Yan Hong. Yan Hong subconsciously pushed Ling Qingyan away, and Ling Qingyan separated from him. Yan Hong's arm was scratched by the sharp sword and he jumped out of the window.
"Leave him alive and take him back." Ling Zhuoan gave the order.
This assassin still has secrets that he wants to know, so he can't die for the time being.
The moment Ling Qingyan was pushed away, the candle that had just been burning burned out its last bit of wax.
Ling Qingyan felt a little clearer in her head, and she realized that the effect of the medicine had worn off.
She finished speaking and the drug wore off.
It's no use for her to say anything now that she's completely black.
run!
This was the only word in her mind.
There was a look of anxiety in the girl's eyes, her hair was a little loose, and she was about to run towards the stairs without even catching her breath.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and Ling Qingyan almost bumped into him.
"Didn't I teach you not to run away? Where are you going, my little niece?" Ling Yu's eyes were curved with a smile, and he looked like a smiling tiger.
Ling Qingyan just glanced at him, didn't want to pay any attention to him and just walked around him.
Another white figure also blocked her way.
It’s Mu Xianzhi.
"Why are you running, Your Highness?" Mu Xianzhi's calm mask was broken, and the look he gave Ling Qingyan was similar to his nighttime state.
There is more determination.
Ling Qingyan's heart was in her throat, and she stepped back step by step.
Hearing his brother's familiar voice again, he walked over slowly and said, "Everyone downstairs is my people. Even if my sister goes down this floor, she can't get out."
"Sister, why do you have to provoke so many difficult people? Isn't it enough for me to accompany you?" Pei Wuyou's voice was filled with painful paranoia.
"So, Your Highness, you are not only nice to me, you are manipulating between me and them, and even the words you said were to coax me and lie to me, right?" Ji Yanxing asked with certainty.
Several people surrounded Ling Qingyan. She wanted to cry but had no tears. The oppressive feeling made her breathless. Ling Qingyan felt that the air was getting thinner.
"I was wrong." Ling Qingyan clasped her hands together, seeming to express her apology sincerely.
Anything I say now is too pale and cannot be explained at all.
Apologize, and let go of the anger if you can.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ling Qingyan seemed to be making a self-criticism.
"I'm sorry, everyone." Ling Qingyan twirled her fingers, lowered her head, and didn't look anyone in the eye.
"I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have deceived you. I shouldn't have deceived your sincerity."
"I won't do this again."
Ling Qingyan's heart was pounding. "I know you're angry and resentful of me, but I did bring you happiness, didn't I? I think that for the sake of our friendship and our past, I shouldn't be punished by death."
"I truly realize my mistake and will not bother you again. Both my brother and uncle, and General Ji's tutor, are among the best of the best. I understand their anger towards me."
Ling Qingyan was trying her best to comfort everyone to prevent these emotionally unstable people from doing anything.
"Out of sight, out of mind. I can leave Shangjing and never see you again in this life. If my royal brother is still angry with me, you can remove my princess title. Qingyan has no objection."
If the mission fails and she really can't go back, she will live a good life and won't do anything stupid that will kill her.
If she couldn't take the things from the palace away, she could ask Mansheng for some money. She could go to other states and live an ordinary life. Although her abilities were not particularly outstanding, she still had some modern ideas. It would be nice to go to another place to do business and do something she liked.
There is always a way when you reach the mountain. Although life was difficult for a woman in ancient times, as long as she had a strong heart, there would be no difficulties that she could not overcome. People like Chen Mansheng and Lu Xingxia were both women walking alone in this world, and she could do it too.
Thinking of this, Ling Qingyan felt more confident and her tone became more serious.
"Qingyan knows she is guilty and is willing to be demoted to a commoner and never enter the capital again."
