"Haha..." The man's smile was bright and wicked as he was led away.
Without that splash of red in the courtyard, the scenery suddenly felt much fresher.
"What, aren't you leaving yet? Want to dance in this outfit?" Yuwen Yao's gaze suddenly fell on Xie Lingqin.
It was obvious they were trying to get rid of people.
That's so disrespectful.
Xie Lingqin's expression was not good. She was thinking about whether to say thank you, but she swallowed the words back. She wanted to help Bai Yu, but then she looked at her own clothes and turned around and rushed into the house.
Efficient and swift.
When he came out again, he had changed into the clothes of an ordinary guard. He ignored everyone's gaze, helped Bai Yu up, and walked outside.
Bai Yu looked at the Crown Prince, then at Yan She... no, she should be Xie Lingqin, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, and felt a mix of emotions.
The two had not gone far from the extremely luxurious mansion when they saw a troop of cavalry rapidly approaching.
Upon seeing the figure of the horseman at the front of the group, Xie Lingqin immediately pulled Bai Yu aside and slipped into the shadows.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yu asked.
"The Wise King".
"You still like him?" Bai Yu really didn't know how to talk. As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Linghu rolled her eyes at her. "Which eye of yours saw that I like him, and you even added 'still'?"
"Otherwise, why are you so afraid of him?"
Xie Lingqin was speechless. "Do you think everyone is as simple-minded as you?" Then, her eyes flickered. "Do you think he's good enough for me?"
Bai Yu nodded vigorously, unusually serious, "Not good enough, absolutely not."
Just now, Xie Lingqin's face was as beautiful as the bright moon in the sky, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Xie Lingqin found these words pleasing, and after thinking for a moment, she looked at Bai Yu and said, "Then, do you think the Crown Prince is also unworthy of me?"
That's a lot...
Bai Yu thought for a moment...
The Crown Prince was as handsome as a god, and he was with Xie Lingqin...
“But that night I saw you and the Crown Prince… kissing…” Bai Yu suddenly remembered.
Xie Lingqin felt incredibly embarrassed and immediately retorted, "That was a misunderstanding."
Bai Yu was taken aback, then her eyes darted around. This couldn't be a misunderstanding; these two must be extraordinary...
Also, Yan She is usually such a confident and intelligent person, why would you need to ask for his opinion?
Wait.
Yan She is a woman, and she is Xie Lingqin, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion.
On that day, when he secretly entered the Marquis of Anping's residence to rescue An Shangning and An Shangyu, it was Xie Lingqin who helped cover for him.
That day, it was the Crown Prince who, carrying an imperial edict, slaughtered the entire Anping Marquis's household. If there was anything between these two...
Does that mean that the Crown Prince didn't actually intend to massacre the Marquis of Anping's household that day, and that's why he asked Xie Lingqin to deliberately let things slide?
"Xie Lingqin, I suddenly feel that the Crown Prince is a good person. I take back all my previous prejudices against him."
Bai Yu suddenly nodded with an air of seriousness.
Xie Lingqin fixed her gaze on Bai Yu. How long had it been? What had happened that made him change his opinion of the Crown Prince?
"Bai Yu, I was the one who saved you just now," Xie Lingqin reminded her repeatedly.
Bai Yu nodded. "I know. Just stick with the Crown Prince. He's never been so nice to any woman before. He was probably just being mean to you because you were dressed too lightly and almost got into danger. Don't take it to heart."
Xie Lingqin...
What exactly happened?
Forget it, too lazy to bother with it. Xie Lingqin looked ahead again. At this moment, Yuwen Xian arrived at the gate of the courtyard, dismounted, and strode inside.
"Your Highness, I'm late."
"It's not too late. We've already caught the person who's been causing trouble in Beirongdu recently. We'll hand him over to the Prince Xian."
"Leave it to me, Your Highness. Won't you come with me to see Father Emperor?"
The Crown Prince glanced at him, sensing his hypocritical tone, and said coldly, "Compared to me, I think Father Emperor prefers to hear you speak."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Xian neither denied nor modestly replied, "Then, I will leave with my men right away."
The crown prince did not stop them, and just watched as Yuwen Xian led the blindfolded Western Xia crown prince away.
Outside the courtyard, Xie Lingqin frowned slightly upon seeing Yuwen Xian bring out the Crown Prince of Western Xia.
"Such a great achievement, and the Crown Prince just gave it to this virtuous prince like that, it's really too good for him." Bai Yu was indignant, as if he suddenly had a hatred for this virtuous prince that he wanted to curse his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Xie Lingqin opened her eyes to him, but felt that the matter was not so simple.
Based on her interactions with the Crown Prince, he was no pushover.
After a moment, Xie Lingqin seemed to understand the key point.
Judging from Yuwen Xian's expression just now, he clearly did not know the identity of the man in red.
The Crown Prince hadn't explicitly stated that the man was the Crown Prince of Western Xia, who was also poisoned and appeared unable to move. Given Yuwen Xian's temperament...
The crown prince of Western Xia is going to have a terrible time.
If the Crown Prince of Western Xia were to escape by chance, then...
Yuwen Xian is going to have a terrible time.
...
at the moment.
Xie Lingqin looked at Bai Yu.
Just a moment ago, Bai Yu knew that touching her would cause poisoning, yet he still came to save her...
"Don't look at me like that. I've always been kind-hearted and would go to great lengths for my brothers. Even though you're a woman now, in my heart, you're still a man. I'm good to you, aren't I?"
In your heart, I am a man!
"Hmm, are you still in the mood to go back to that villa with me?"
White jade...
In a short while.
"Yan She, you brat, you... ah, can you let me have some peace and quiet?"
Xie Lingqin rubbed her ears from the loud noise, but kept her eyes fixed on him, coldly asking, "Are you going or not?"
