Nangong Feng spoke with an innate air of calmness, yet it was impossible to miss a single word. Moreover, Xie Lingqin could sense that Nangong Feng was making every effort to appear friendly.
"Okay, I'll definitely come another day."
Xie Lingqin spoke with a smile in her voice.
"I heard that you didn't have a good time in the General's Mansion for the past ten years or so, and that General Xie didn't care about you at all?"
Xie Lingqin was about to turn her horse away when she heard Nangong Feng speak again.
Xie Lingqin sighed and nodded, "Yes, but how can one become a superior person without experiencing hardship? I'm doing quite well now."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Feng's breath hitched, and his eyes behind the mask seemed to hold a deeper, more complex expression. However, once the wind passed, it seemed as if he had simply imagined it.
"If one day the Crown Prince treats you badly or not well enough, come to Southern Qi. The vast continent of Southern Qi is always open to you."
Nangong Feng continued, which sounded like an absolute promise, leaving Xie Lingqin momentarily stunned.
Nangong Feng is acting really strange today.
but……
"Your Highness, did you hear that? From now on, I'll have a very powerful backer."
"In this life, you are the only treasure I cherish. How could I possibly bully you or treat you badly?"
The Crown Prince raised his hand to pat Xie Lingqin's fluffy head, a smile of endless doting affection spreading across his lips.
With just a slight turn of her head, she met Nangong Feng's gaze.
Their eyes met, and Yuwen Yao's gaze darkened slightly, as if he had suddenly thought of something. When he looked at Xie Lingqin again, he remained silent.
Nangong Feng also withdrew his gaze and said to Nan Fenghuang, "Let's go back to Jinhua Tower. We'll set off for Nanqi tomorrow."
"I still want to live in the General's Mansion..."
"I've had your bedding changed, don't be stubborn."
Nan Fenghuang was taken away by Nangong Feng.
Xie Lingqin looked at the two figures as they walked away, feeling somewhat forlorn.
"I'm actually a little reluctant to part with it."
"I'll miss it. We'll go to Southern Qi for fun in the future."
"Okay." Xie Lingqin gently took Yuwen Yao's arm, her smile gentle. "However, you've always been a jealous person. I talked with Nangong Feng for so long just now, but you weren't jealous at all, which confirmed my suspicions."
"What?"
Yuwen Yao laughed, almost as if he were joking.
"That's not the Second Prince of the South, but..."
Xie Lingqin didn't say what it was, but raised her lips and gently kissed Yuwen Yao's lips, their unspoken understanding remaining.
However, Yuwen Yao quickly seized the kiss, launching a fierce assault until she was breathless and her clothes were disheveled.
The moonlight shone through, making the woman's shoulders appear snow-white and smooth, shimmering with a captivating silvery luster.
"We're in a carriage, you..."
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and pushed Yuwen Yao away, a hint of reproach in her voice, "Can't you control yourself?"
"I have been abstaining for several days now."
Yuwen Yao's words carried a hint of resentment, and his handsome brows seemed to furrow in apprehension.
Xie Lingqin rarely saw Yuwen Yao's restrained and resentful expression, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She didn't bother to pull up the clothes that had slipped off her shoulders. "Well, after all, the Emperor has granted us a marriage. Even if we haven't had the wedding ceremony yet, we can be considered to be in a legitimate relationship, right?"
"Of course, you're mine. From tomorrow onwards, I'll live in your Qingshui Pavilion every day, forcing the Emperor to issue an edict for our marriage as soon as possible." Yuwen Yao pulled Xie Lingqin into his arms and gently kissed her forehead. "The plans of the past few days have all been successful. Soon, Qin'er, soon..."
Never before had Yuwen Yao's eyes shone with such a burning and intense light.
Once tonight is over, he will be able to fulfill his promise to Qin'er, and no one in the world will be able to separate them.
"Um."
She answered softly in his arms, an irresistible temptation. Just one word was enough to make Yuwen Yao almost lose control and take her in the carriage.
"By the way, just now when you and Xu Yiran were chasing that man in black robes, did he really jump off the cliff?" Xie Lingqin asked, slightly out of breath.
"No."
Yuwen Yao couldn't fool Xie Lingqin, nor did he want to.
Xie Lingqin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great. He has so many secrets, and I wanted to ask him about them one by one. But where did he go?"
“He was very good at using illusions. When we chased him to a grove of trees, Xu Yiran and I were both bewildered by his illusions and couldn’t get out for a long time.”
"You and Xu Yiran are both bewitched?" Xie Lingqin was somewhat incredulous, as these two were both highly skilled individuals.
"So, he ran away." Xie Lingqin sighed.
"right."
Xie Lingqin slapped her forehead, somewhat disappointed. "I thought he was being controlled by you and Xu Yiran, but..." Xie Lingqin stepped forward and hugged Yuwen Yao, her smile radiant. "It's alright. Since he's so powerful, it's good that you're alright."
"Yes, Xu Yiran is fine too, don't worry."
"Hehe, I do care about him, but I care about you even more."
Xie Lingqin buried her head deep into Yuwen Yao's chest, as if this would allow her to capture more of his breath and never be separated from him.
She realized that she was truly finished, and was becoming increasingly dependent on Yuwen Yao.
Yuwen Yao rested his chin lightly against Xie Lingqin's head. At this moment, the smile on his face faded, and something flickered in his eyes. He tightened his grip on Xie Lingqin's hand.
It wasn't that he and Xu Yiran were no match for their opponent; their illusions were indeed very powerful. However, if they wanted to break through them, they wouldn't be fooled. It was just that at that moment, when they saw those scenes in the illusion...
They willingly allow themselves to be deceived.
He secretly rolled his hands up, then gently closed his eyes. Soon, it would be over.
In the distance, in the long alley, a shadowy figure was hidden, but was concealed by the trees and scenery nearby, so that no one would notice.
The carriage curtains were rolled up, and Xu Yiran looked at the two people embracing tightly. A tightening feeling rose in his heart, causing him heartache.
"Young Master..." Green Maiden called softly from behind.
Let's go.
Xu Yiran had already turned around. "Let's go to the Heavenly Mystery Hall."
Green Beauty seemed puzzled.
"I need to investigate something. That person from back then might not be dead; he might still be lurking in the shadows..."
Xu Yiran's voice was very soft, so soft that only he himself could hear it.
