Previously, they hadn't figured out how Miss Xue had made her move, but Miss Xue was definitely planning to plot against Miss Lingqin.
Therefore, they couldn't understand why, if the Crown Prince really cared so much about Miss Lingqin, he didn't stop her at the time. If the Crown Prince had intervened, Miss Xue would have definitely backed down.
However, the Crown Prince watched helplessly as Miss Lingqin was injured, and then appeared in time to treat her wounds, clearly worried.
They understood it less and less.
The moonlight spilled down, casting its glow on their shoulders, as if the verdant greenery had solidified into the colors of autumn.
"Today, you gouged out my eyes, ripped out my skin, shattered my bones, and destroyed my soul. One day, I will become a vengeful ghost, haunting you for three lifetimes and disturbing your peace..."
Xie Lingqin was unconscious, but a woman's shrill scream kept echoing in her mind.
She didn't recognize it, couldn't see it clearly, and only felt a huge suction force dragging her towards endless darkness.
Suddenly, a burst of heat, like a warm ray of light, shot from between my eyebrows to the soles of my feet, warming my entire body as if a spring breeze were blowing.
"Today, you gouged out my eyes, ripped out my skin, shattered my bones, and destroyed my soul. One day, I will become a vengeful ghost, haunting you for three lifetimes and disturbing your peace..."
The shrill screams faded into the distance, one word at a time. Xie Lingqin suddenly awoke, her eyes snapping open. She gazed at the vast, empty night sky of the cliffs and the azure moon, its expanse as boundless as water.
"woke up."
Behind him, Yuwen Yao's deep, magnetic voice rang in his ears, making him feel as if he had fallen from a dreamlike illusion back to reality.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and patted her chest. The tightness in her chest caused by Xue Ningshang's scheme was gone, and she felt clear-headed and comfortable all over.
Xie Lingqin turned around, looking at the Crown Prince who had already stood up, her eyes flickering with light and darkness, "Crown Prince..."
"No need to thank me too much. I only helped you because you like me."
With his hands behind his back and his chin slightly raised, Yuwen Yao's phoenix eyes, which were as delicate as jade, were filled with a gentle smile.
Seeing this, Xie Lingqin suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's clear that you like me."
Yuwen Yao slightly curled the fingers behind his back, and his gaze finally fell on Xie Lingqin's face. After a moment, his voice was completely calm, "Who gave you the audacity to think that way?"
Xie Lingqin's lips twitched, but her expression remained gentle and she was not angry. At this moment, she was still sitting on the grass, her eyebrows lowered quietly, but the smile that gradually spread across her lips was particularly clear.
"Xie Lingqin, you succeeded."
Yuwen Yao suddenly withdrew his gaze and changed the subject.
Xie Lingqin's eyelashes fluttered. "What does the Crown Prince mean?"
“Minglan and his brothers will truly follow your lead from now on. You have secured people’s safety with your schemes and won their hearts by sacrificing yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin looked at the Crown Prince.
This is the first time I've noticed that the Crown Prince can be quite nice when he speaks properly.
"Actually..." Xie Lingqin slowly rose from the ground, "Your Highness, whether you believe it or not, I really hope that Minglan and the others are doing well. If they really follow Xue Ningshang, perhaps their future will be longer and broader."
"Don't underestimate yourself."
Yuwen Yao said, his voice carried away by the wind, but it reached Xie Lingqin's ears with a slight warmth.
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, wondering what he meant by those words.
However, after staring at the Crown Prince for a long time, he did not see any reaction from the Crown Prince.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
The next moment, Xie Lingqin was already in the Crown Prince's arms again.
The kisses became natural, and the hugs became natural too…
However, at this moment, Xie Lingqin surprisingly didn't want to argue with the Crown Prince. Having free labor to take her back was quite nice.
The general's mansion was quiet all around.
Zihe and Tridacna were sitting in the outer room of the main house. The young lady hadn't told them when she left, so they were naturally worried. Suddenly, when they looked up, they saw the window move, and then they saw the Crown Prince carrying Xie Lingqin into the room.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, bathing the two of them in a radiant glow.
Unparalleled harmony.
Zihe...
Tridacna...
Then, the two said in unison, "Miss, this..."
"Boil some hot water." Yuwen Yao spoke before Xie Lingqin, and while speaking, he did not put Xie Lingqin down, but instead carried her straight to the inner room.
Zihe was the first to react. She immediately went to boil water, but after taking a step, she turned back and pulled Tridacna along, saying, "Let's go together."
It's not good to keep the giant clam shell; it can only be taken out with it.
"Your Highness, you can let me go now."
Watching Zihe and Tridacna hurriedly leave, Xie Lingqin finally spoke.
Yuwen Yao placed Xie Lingqin on the bed. "You're quite light." After saying that, he turned around without another word and disappeared into thin air the next moment.
However, the faint fragrance of flowers lingered in the air, and the gaze that seemed to be bathed in the moonlight as the person left remained in my mind for a long time.
After a long while, Xie Lingqin raised her hand and pinched the space between her eyebrows.
What exactly does the Crown Prince mean by this action?
This person she didn't want to have much contact with, yet somehow understood her actions so perfectly—that feeling…
Good or bad?!
Not long after, the prince and Tridacna brought in hot water together.
At that moment, Xie Lingqin had already changed her clothes. Looking at the two of them, her eyes searching around the room, she said softly, "The Crown Prince has already left."
"Miss, are you alright? I thought something had happened to you." Seeing that Xie Lingqin was indeed in good condition, Zihe immediately smiled. "Miss, I didn't see the Crown Prince hug anyone."
