"You've seen him?"
"……without."
"Hmm, in the future, I will definitely raise you into a pig." Yuwen Yao clearly still had the same face, still so serious, with captivating eyes, but the words that came out of those handsome thin lips were so melodious, and the light in those eyes that she used to think was thin, cold and deep seemed to be tinged with starlight, making her mesmerized.
"Hey, Yuwen Yao, could it be that you've never held another woman's hand in all your life?" Xie Lingqin asked hesitantly.
The prince's behavior clearly shows that he has pulled on other pigs.
No, it's another girl.
Yuwen Yao remained calm, glancing at her with a gentle expression and a deep, thoughtful look. "Just you."
"Hiss—" Xie Lingqin gasped, her eyes widening. Although a man like the Crown Prince was someone who could not be approached by women, nor could he give himself to them, and given his strange appearance, it was difficult for him to like anyone else.
But childhood, there must be a childhood, right?
What about when you were a child?
"Childhood?" Yuwen Yao asked, inquiring further, "Does that include boys?"
Xie Lingqin...
Shaking her head and sighing, she said, "You're so pitiful. Like me, I'm..." Before she could declare anything, Xie Lingqin abruptly stopped, "Hey, are we there yet?"
"What did you just say?" The Crown Prince wasn't so easily fooled. He forcefully pulled Xie Lingqin back, his phoenix eyes fixed on her, unusually serious. "Speak."
"What's going on with Miss Li? I saw you drinking tea with her at the teahouse earlier, and it was at night."
Xie Lingqin didn't answer but asked a question instead.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yao fell silent.
Xie Lingqin's eyes darkened. She had originally intended to turn the tables, but now she had actually been caught in the crossfire. Her tone turned icy as she said, "Yuwen Yao, are you perhaps trying to have your cake and eat it too?"
"Miss Li, is this Li Qingyu?" Yuwen Yao slowly raised his eyes and asked.
Xie Lingqin nodded, then frowned. "Otherwise, how many more Miss Lis are there?"
"Then, kiss me, and I will tell you."
"...Say it or don't, it's up to you." Xie Lingqin suddenly broke free from Yuwen Yao's hand and walked forward first.
However, after taking a few steps, he obediently came back, then walked behind Yuwen Yao, and with a displeased expression, looked up and said, "Lead the way."
Give me a kiss.
"Explain first."
"Kiss first."
"No kiss." Xie Lingqin was about to explode. Why was this Crown Prince so high-profile? It would probably be better if he was cold and aloof like before.
"Really not going to kiss me?" the crown prince pressed.
Xie Lingqin shook her head, "No, no, no."
Yuwen Yao's expression darkened. "Alright, I won't force you. I'll lead the way. Come on."
His sudden easygoing and compromising manner made Xie Lingqin feel as if she owed the Crown Prince something, making her feel uneasy.
“Um…” Xie Lingqin glanced at Zihe and Tingfeng.
The two immediately knew better and walked away.
To be honest, those who followed along the way were already starting to question their existence.
“Yuwen Yao…” Xie Lingqin caught up with him in a few steps and tugged at his sleeve, “Next time, when no one is around, let’s kiss.”
"Okay, you said it. And, you have to make up for it with two more kisses."
Xie Lingqin was speechless when she heard Yuwen Yao's unthinking reply and saw the cunning expression on his face, like a child who had tricked his way into getting candy.
Damn it, she was outmaneuvered by Yuwen Yao.
He was clearly acting on purpose, being so arrogant and cute that he made her uncomfortable and forced her to show weakness...
“Yuwen Yao…” Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth, “You’re shameless.”
"I've already said it, with you by my side, what do I need to be ashamed of?"
Xie Lingqin...
This feeling in my heart is so bittersweet, it leaves me with a sense of helplessness and resentment.
"arrive."
At this moment, Yuwen Yao, holding Xie Lingqin's hand, had already stopped at the entrance of a palace.
Push the door open.
In the very center of the hall, the seventh prince, Yuwen Jie, who was six or seven years old, was lying on the ground with his head covered by a black cloth and his hands tied.
The little body was still wriggling, and although its mouth was stuffed with something so it couldn't make a sound, the mumbling it made suggested that it had already cursed the person who tied it up countless times.
Xie Lingqin's eyes widened, and she glanced at Yuwen Yao, shaking her head with a tsk tsk, "You're so cruel to treat a child like this." After saying that, she took a few steps forward and gave Yuwen Jie a light kick on the butt.
Tingfeng and Zihe watched, swallowing hard.
Who is more cruel?
"Ugh..." Yuwen Jie, whose head was covered, struggled desperately.
Xie Lingqin circled Yuwen Jie several times before squatting down with great interest, and then ripped off the black cloth covering Yuwen Jie's head.
A bright light burst forth, and Yuwen Jie looked at Xie Faqin in front of him with a fierce expression. Despite his young age, his eyes held a contempt that was incongruous with his age.
"You seem eager to talk." Xie Lingqin smiled gently and nodded to Zihe beside her.
Zihe immediately stepped forward and helped Yuwen Jie release his pressure points.
"Ahhh, it's you! You're the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion! How dare you kidnap me! You wicked person! You even conspired with... the Crown Prince, my elder brother the Crown Prince! I'm going to tell Father Emperor and Mother Empress, and have them punish you two, you two scoundrels!"
As soon as the pressure points were released, Yuwen Jie's words started pouring out.
"Slap." Xie Lingqin didn't slap him, but instead raised her hand and flicked him, making Yuwen Jie's nose hurt.
Tears immediately fell.
"You slut..."
Before she could utter a curse, another shot was fired, and tears flowed even faster.
However, this time it wasn't Xie Lingqin who fired it, but Yuwen Yao.
"Yuwen Yao, you unfavored crown prince, I'll have my elder brother kill you, I'll have my mother kill you..."
At such a young age, she already distinguished between factions driven by power, and the words she uttered were chilling even to adults.
Xie Lingqin, who was about to flick her wrist again, suddenly stopped. She smiled, turned her head, and nodded to Tingfeng, "Where's his slingshot?"
---Aside---
There will be another update soon!
P.S.: Hey ladies in the bookstore, just wanted to let you know that Xinzhi's writing isn't expensive, it's just that each chapter has a lot of words. If it's split into multiple chapters, it will be very cheap. Actually, it's three cents a thousand words, and only three cents for ten thousand words. And it takes Xinzhi a long time to write those ten thousand words, so it's really not expensive at all. Mwah to you all!
