What interesting things did you hear behind the artificial hill?
The Ninth Prince narrowed his long, thin eyes: "What is it?"
Could it be that the little dumpling has stumbled upon some filthy thing?
Yuan Yao hugged the Ninth Prince's neck and said slyly, "Let's take Yun Chan back to the villa first, and we can talk as we go."
The palace is nestled against the mountains and beside the water; on summer nights, there must be a lot of mosquitoes.
I wonder if those mosquitoes will shake Miss Yun's determination to marry into Qianhua Palace?
Looking at Yuan Yao's expression, the Ninth Prince chuckled softly, "What, are you still keeping me in suspense?"
"Yao'er isn't keeping you in suspense!" Yuan Yao said seriously, "Father, before telling a story, Yao'er has to ask someone first!"
Your men have captured Xie Ning. Will you kill him?
Xie Ning?
Upon hearing the name, the Ninth Prince's expression turned cold: "He impersonated Danqing, lurked by my side, and almost fed you poison. I will not let him go!"
“Father…” Yuan Yao said softly, “Actually, Xie Ning’s heart is all for you. He disguised himself as Danqing, also to… help Father.”
Although Yao'er hated that he lied to her and scared her, she felt that he was not a bad person.
He was the one who healed Yun Chan's injuries.
"Hmm?" The Ninth Prince glanced disdainfully at Yun Chan.
Yun Chan's beautiful brows furrowed slightly: "A Ning?"
Now that the Ninth Prince already knows that Xie Ning is disguised as Danqing, Yuan Yao is no longer afraid that he will find out about other things.
She said in a childish voice, "That day, I went to Chaoyun Palace to visit Yun Chan. Xie Ning took his pulse and knew what poison he had been given."
Moreover, Yun Chan has contracted tetanus, and it should take quite some time for her to recover.
His quick recovery was entirely thanks to Xie Ning's excellent medical skills..."
Ah Ning, Xie Ning...
I see!
Yun Chan pursed her lips and bowed to the Ninth Prince: "Your Highness, Young Master Xie saved me. He is my savior. Yun Chan wishes to meet him to express her gratitude for saving her life."
"Father, let Xie Ning go!" Yuan Yao chimed in, "He's not actually that bad. If you really hate him, just punish him, okay?"
She winked at Yun Chan while speaking in a childish, coquettish voice.
Yun Chan cupped his hands and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please spare Xie Ning."
The Ninth Prince raised an eyebrow, then laughed in exasperation, his voice becoming soft and feminine: "One after another, they all like to contradict me!"
Overjoyed, Yuan Yao quickly said in a soft voice, "Then, Father, you've agreed to spare Xie Ning's life!"
"I just can't do anything with you!" The Ninth Prince raised his hand, his slender fingers pinching her bun tightly in a retaliatory gesture: "You little dumpling..."
Yuan Yao buried her head in his chest: "Be gentle, Daddy, Daddy is rubbing my head so much it's almost bald..."
The silhouettes of the father and daughter were bathed in the vibrant colors of the sunset.
Yun Chan walked behind, looked up, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes...
Yuan Yao nestled in the arms of the Ninth Prince and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, shall I tell you the story I just heard?"
“Speak,” the Ninth Prince replied.
Yuan Yao said in a serious tone: "The story goes like this..."
There was an official whose eldest daughter had married the emperor, and he wanted to marry his younger daughter to a powerful minister...
But even they themselves didn't know if the marriage would actually happen...
The eldest daughter then suggested to the younger daughter that on the night the banquet ended, the younger daughter should wait on the powerful minister's way back to his room, and then try to get him to carry her back to his room...
The next day, their father went again to ask the emperor to grant them a marriage...
When the group arrived outside Yun Chan Villa, it was already completely dark.
Yuan Yao said softly, "The most interesting thing is that this powerful minister has an adopted daughter."
"Is that so?" The Ninth Prince smiled, glancing down at her. "And then?"
Yuan Yao wrapped her arms around his neck and said in a childish voice, "Then, the younger daughter was worried that the powerful minister's adopted daughter would be favored and threaten her position, so the older daughter gave her advice, saying that this adopted daughter was just someone the powerful minister picked up and raised for fun."
If the younger sister becomes favored and really finds this adopted daughter an eyesore, then she can just send the adopted daughter away...
After speaking, she tilted her head, observing the Ninth Prince's expression.
The Ninth Prince's expression was indifferent, and his voice was gentle: "Little Yao'er told a good story. Father thinks it is very interesting."
How dare they scheme against him!
That's incredibly audacious!
Yuan Yao smiled sweetly and said, "Father, since the story is interesting, can Yao'er ask for a reward?"
"I grant your permission." The Ninth Prince gently pinched her nose.
Yuan Yao said happily, "Father, Yun Chan hasn't had her doctor's appointment today! Could you have Ying bring Xie Ning back so you can check Yun Chan's pulse first?"
The Ninth Prince, somewhat helpless, said indulgently, "As you wish."
The three of them entered Yun Chan's villa together.
Ah Qi wandered around the villa for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yun Chan.
He bowed to the Ninth Prince and Yuan Yao, saying, "A-Qi greets the Ninth Prince and the Princess."
"Rise," the Ninth Prince said calmly.
Ah Qi quickly stood up straight and came over to help Yun Chan: "Your Highness, you are weak and still feeling the heat. Why did you take so long?"
"It's alright." Yun Chan covered her lips and coughed lightly a few times.
Soon, Ying returned.
With a "thud," Xie Ning was thrown to the ground in the courtyard.
"hiss……"
Xie Ning rubbed her lower back and got up from the ground.
Upon seeing the Ninth Prince, he smiled brightly and happily called out, "Brother."
He's in his twenties, but he's as happy as a child who's seen candy.
The Ninth Prince took a small sip of his now-cold tea, narrowed his long, narrow eyes, and asked in a sinister tone, "Where is Danqing?"
Xie Ning patted the dirt off his clothes: "Miss Danqing, I've invited you to be my guest."
Visiting?
The Ninth Prince pursed his lips: "Did you completely ignore what I said that day?"
Since your ears are incapable of hearing human language, there's probably no point in keeping them.
Throughout his life, he despised disobedient people the most.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ning knelt on the ground, crawled on his knees to the Ninth Prince, pulled down his hood, revealing a full head of white hair: "Brother, if you want Aning's ears, then cut them off."
As long as brother stops being angry with A-Ning, A-Ning will give brother whatever he wants, even if it's just…
As he spoke, he looked down at himself.
Yuan Yao: "???"
Yun Chan: "..."
The moon shone brightly in the darkness, and a sharp pain shot through a certain spot, causing him to gasp involuntarily.
Shadow: You little brat, you want to die?
The crescent moon hangs low...
The Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes and glanced at where Xie Ning was looking: "Is it true that you would be willing to let me cripple you?"
Xie Ning's slender hands gripped the Ninth Prince's legs, shaking them slightly. Her beautiful eyes glistened with tears: "Brother, please turn Aning into someone like you. That way, Aning can always stay by your side..."
He clearly looked completely willing, but the Ninth Prince found it incredibly irritating.
"Get out!" The Ninth Prince waved his sleeve.
Xie Ning was flung away like a rag doll by a burst of energy, flying a great distance before crashing heavily to the ground.
He moved, got up, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Ninth Prince stared at him grimly: "If I were to hear those words again, I would take your life on the spot!"
Xie Ning clutched her chest and asked happily, "So... Brother, that slap you gave just now meant you agreed to let me stay by your side?"
