Duanmu Rong glanced sideways at a corner of the hall, and suddenly, Fang and the eunuch drew a sharp blade, pointing it at Xuanyuan Du…
"I'll think about it."
Xie Lingqin finally spoke up to stop it.
At Duanmu Rong's signal, the eunuch slowly withdrew the sharp blade from his hand.
For a fleeting moment, though he tried his best to conceal it, his clear and imposing presence and strikingly handsome profile made him seem unlike a eunuch.
However, no one noticed.
"Then, shall I have someone escort you back to Jinse Tianxia?"
Duanmu Rongdao seemed to be asking in a soft, gentle, and ambiguous tone, but in reality, he had already nodded to the person behind him.
"Your Highness, what about Princess Beirong..."
Someone beside me was asking for instructions.
"Let's hand her over to Miss Xie."
Duanmu Rong was quite generous.
Xie Lingqin remained expressionless, while Yuwen Qingyue was puzzled, unable to understand Duanmu Rong's intentions.
The world is adorned with brocade.
In this extremely luxurious palace, Xie Lingqin had never truly and completely integrated herself into the place since she arrived.
Yuwen Qingyue had changed into a set of plain clothes. As a princess, she looked less sharp and charming than before, and more composed and reserved.
However, this princess was extraordinary both in heart and appearance.
Moreover, it's somewhat ironic that two people who were once enemies are now living under the same roof, a princess of Southern Qi and a princess of Northern Rong, sharing the same fate and being imprisoned together.
“My fifth brother has arrived in Beirong Capital and has been recuperating in Fengnuan City for many years. His health has also improved.”
In the quiet hall, a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, and Yuwen Qingyue suddenly spoke softly.
At this moment, Xie Lingqin was intently studying the few flower petals painted on the white wall opposite. Hearing this, she looked at her and asked, "Hmm, and then?"
“My fifth brother and I are twins, and he dotes on me.”
“Go on.”
Yuwen Qingyue was taken aback by Xie Lingqin's nonchalant attitude, but she continued, "No one in Beirong knows I'm still alive, as you know. However, my fifth brother doesn't believe it. If I give him a token, he will definitely send someone to rescue me. He has people on his side."
What do you want me to do?
Xie Lingqin's gaze finally settled on her face.
“I don’t want to die. I came to save you by chance. It was just a coincidence that I happened to be nearby. I just observed that there are many hidden experts in this Jinse Tianxia. It is heavily guarded. We must cooperate to send out the message.”
"If I could contact Xu Yiran, you wouldn't be here today."
Xie Lingqin's calm and aloof words left Yuwen Qingyue speechless and speechless.
"Princess, this is tea that the Crown Prince instructed me to prepare." A eunuch approached from the side.
The same person who told stories last night, and who is now wielding a sharp blade under Duanmu Rong's orders to deal with Xuanyuan Du.
Yuwen Qingyue glanced at him, then suddenly looked at the tea on the table, frowning warily, "Why are the two cups different?"
"Oh, Princess Yuwen, one cup is for you, and one is for Miss Lingqin. However, hers has a cough-suppressing effect, which was specially ordered by the Crown Prince."
"Heh, your Crown Prince Duanmu is a beauty himself, yet he knows how to cherish beauties."
Yuwen Qingyue's words were somewhat sarcastic and biting. As she finished speaking, she picked up the cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Miss Xie, please have some tea." Seeing that Xie Lingqin did not move, the eunuch picked up the cup and handed it to her.
Xie Lingqin shook her head, "Put it down, I won't drink it."
“…Yes.” The eunuch seemed somewhat disappointed, but he still left it there and stood quietly beside Xie Lingqin.
"Xie Lingqin, are you really that patient?"
After an unknown amount of time, when the sun was high in the sky, Yuwen Qingyue, who had just walked away, walked over again and pulled aside the eunuch beside Xie Lingqin. "You don't really intend to settle down in Xixia, do you? You're not thinking of any other way out."
No rush.
Compared to Yuwen Qingyue's impatience, Xie Lingqin was incredibly calm.
A light and airy aura emanated from him, as if he were more composed and at ease than before.
Yu Fangqingyue pursed her red lips, narrowed her eyes, and didn't utter a single word for a long time. Then she picked up the cup of tea beside her and made a gesture as if to drink it.
"Princess Yuwen, this tea is not for you."
But the eunuch stopped him.
Yuwen Qingyue frowned, then smiled after a moment, "They are truly loyal." She put down the cup and handed the fine tea to Xie Lingqin, "Drink up."
"Just leave it there."
Xie Lingqin still didn't drink.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside Jinse Tianxia, which had been quiet for almost two days.
"Get out of my way! Don't you know who I am?"
"Reporting to Consort Min, the Crown Prince has given orders that no one may enter or leave this Brocade World without his orders, and also without the orders of that person inside..."
"The Crown Prince would never stop me from entering. It's obvious that you lackeys are abusing your power here. Get out of the way..."
"Consort Min..."
The man hurriedly followed, but Consort Min was also skilled in martial arts and moved nimbly. Before the eunuch could catch up, she had already entered the main hall of Jinse Tianxia and happened to come face to face with Yuwen Qingyue and Xie Lingqin, who came out of the hall.
"Your Majesty." A stream of maids immediately followed behind.
Seeing this, the eunuch who had initially tried to stop them had no choice but to silently retreat, while signaling someone nearby to immediately go down and report to the Crown Prince.
"Which of you is Xie Lingqin?"
Consort Min, dressed in a palace gown, was also a beautiful woman. However, she pointed her finger and said without any politeness, "Step forward."
