Meanwhile, Xie Lingqin had already pulled the Crown Prince back to the private room they had just been in.
Yu Qingyi then slipped inside as well.
"Meng Hulu, how could you help Xie Lingqin?" Realizing his mistake, Yu Qingyi smiled apologetically at Xie Lingqin, "Little girl, that's not what I meant, it's just..."
Xie Lingqin remained calm and composed. Instead, she met Yu Qingyi's gaze and slowly focused on Yuwen Yao, who was sitting calmly. She spoke softly, "I know you want to say that my identity is special, and all the nobles want to stay away from me. The Prefect of the Capital will not offend the people of the world without reason. Moreover, the Crown Prince has helped me. If this matter reaches the Emperor's ears, the Crown Prince will be in trouble."
Yu Qingyi raised an eyebrow, his face showing a mixture of embarrassment and pity. "Little girl, you're really clever..." Then, he looked anxiously at the Crown Prince, "If you wanted to help Xie Lingqin, just say so! I would have intervened. You really are..."
It's true what they say, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.
Looking at the calm and composed Yuwen Yao, Xie Lingqin couldn't help but speak up, quite confidently, "Young Master Yi is right. This little skill is nothing to me, and you too..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Lingqin's expression suddenly changed, because the Crown Prince's face seemed to have paled a little.
Xie Lingqin suddenly realized something and stepped forward abruptly, "Your Highness."
Yuwen Yao glanced at Xie Lingqin, "What do you want with me?"
Even after all this, you're still so arrogant!
You deserve it.
Yuwen Yao seemed genuinely unwell, raising his hand to touch his brow. His delicate, jade-like face appeared even paler.
Yu Qingyi noticed it too and immediately stepped forward, "Could it be that they've been poisoned?"
“No, it should be…” Yuwen Yao’s voice suddenly became a few decibels weaker than usual.
Xie Lingqin's eyes flickered; it wasn't poison, but rather...
"Young Master Yi, go and investigate what happened just now. I'll handle the Crown Prince's matter." Xie Lingqin immediately pushed Yu Qingyi away, and then, without saying a word, tried to help the Crown Prince up and walk out.
The Crown Prince remained unmoved, looking at Xie Lingqin with extreme displeasure, his voice cold, "Where are you going to take me?"
"The outhouse, brother!"
