After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
Duanmu Rongtu's eyes gradually turned cold, and after a moment, a cold laugh echoed throughout the entire bedchamber, "So, Xuanyuan Du is no longer in my hands, is he?"
“Yes, by now, it should be well out of your control,” Xie Lingqin said.
"So, you let me catch you on purpose."
Xie Lingqin nodded, her expression serene. "It's best that you understand. I had no intention of being your enemy. On the contrary, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Of course, I don't want to be your friend either. So, it's best if we can both be at peace. However, the enemy of my friend is my enemy. For the sake of Xuanyuan Du, I must deal with you."
"ha……"
Duanmu Rong laughed, "To save Xuanyuan Du, you were willing to risk your life. It's clear that Yuwen Yao didn't hold much weight in your heart back then."
As Duanmu Rong spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept over the little eunuch behind Xie Lingqin, a hint of amusement and sarcasm flashing in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
Xie Lingqin failed to catch him, turned away lightly, her teeth gleaming coldly, and said, "I have forgotten most of what happened in the past."
A single, casual remark caused the eunuch's lowered face to darken slightly.
"I have rescued the person. Until we meet again."
Xie Lingqin turned around and said, "I have safely left the palace, and your Consort Min will also be safe and sound. The child in her womb will be fine too."
"Xie Lingqin, such a vast and beautiful world, yet it couldn't keep you?"
Duanmu Rong suddenly called out to Xie Lingqin, who was turning to leave. The woman's eyes and brows were bathed in sunlight, making her exceptionally bright and lovely.
Xie Lingqin seemed a little confused. She suddenly remembered what the palace maids had said earlier. They said that Jinse Tianxia was where the future Crown Princess and the future Empress would live, and that no woman had ever set foot there before her. She also suddenly remembered the story that the little eunuch had told her.
Frowning, Xie Lingqin pulled herself out of her thoughts, her expression growing even colder. "I don't like Xixia, it's just as cold as Beirong."
"If I were willing to give you my whole life, to share the world with you, and to have only you as my wife for the rest of my life, what would you say?"
When Duanmu Rong spoke these words, his voice was soft and gentle, his narrow eyes shining with a hint of ambiguity and allure. However, the smile that never seemed to reach his eyes now carried a hint of hope and a touch of sincerity.
Their eyes met, and the air stood still.
Xie Lingqin was surprised, as if for a moment she understood Duanmu Rong.
"Hehe... I was just joking, but seeing you hesitate like this is enough to satisfy me. Let's go, in this game, I only lost to you."
Xie Lingqin frowned and left decisively.
However, they did not notice that in a corner of the hall, the little eunuch's back was even more bent.
"Also, that story isn't good, and its negative meaning isn't something you should dwell on. With time, you'll really forget about it, so why make things difficult for yourself?"
The clear, aloof voice was carried by the wind to Duanmu Rong's ear.
Xie Lingqin left Jinse Tianxia and the Western Xia Imperial Palace with ease.
She discovered that as long as she didn't cough, the spiritual arts within her body gradually returned to their purest form, and she was able to use them more and more skillfully. It wasn't internal energy cultivation, but it required even more willpower and control than internal energy cultivation.
Yuwen Qingyue was naturally with Xie Lingqin, watching her in the rushing wind, sighing deeply, "No wonder you don't say much, it turns out you had a plan all along, and you even said I was your obstacle."
"Good that you understand."
Xie Lingqin was not in high spirits.
"Cough cough..."
A sudden cough slowed her down, and she landed on a side street. At that moment, a figure emerged from the shadows.
"Miss."
Xie Lingqin looked at the newcomer with great surprise, "Tinghai?"
She thought that one day he would return to Yuwen Yao's side.
"I came all the way from Beirong, asking around, and was finally discovered by Young Master Xu's men," Tinghai stepped forward and said. "Young Master Xu ordered me to meet you here."
Xie Lingqin looked at Tinghai, who was covered in dust, showing that he had suffered a lot on his journey.
Let's go.
"Xie Lingqin, aren't you afraid he's a spy?"
Yuwen Qingyue, standing to the side, was somewhat disapproving.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her, "No."
Tinghai was deeply moved by Xie Lingqin's trust and felt very grateful. He looked at Xie Lingqin as if he wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.
At this moment, Lü Wu appeared and said, "Miss Ling Qin, Crown Prince Duanmu will find Consort Min in the palace, and Prince Xuanyuan has also been settled."
Where is Xu Yiran?
"Young master... are you slightly injured?"
Xie Lingqin's expression changed. "What?"
Luwu glanced at Yuwen Qingyue beside her before turning to Xie Lingqin with a guilty expression. "We were on guard the whole time, but since Consort Min doesn't know martial arts, we relaxed a bit. So, taking advantage of our momentary lapse in attention, Consort Min used a dagger to slash the young master's arm."
"take me."
"yes."
The group soon arrived at a house that was neither too secluded nor too bustling. Everything inside was new, and it looked like a newly furnished house.
Xie Lingqin didn't have time to look at these things right now, and instead was led directly into the innermost room by Lü Wu.
At that moment, Suanpizi was carrying out a basin of bloody water and a towel.
Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed, and she immediately walked into the house.
“Oh, Miss Lingqin…”
Suanpizi was about to call out to Xie Lingqin when he was caught in a glare from Lüwu, and he immediately stopped talking.
Then, in the next moment, an awkward feeling seemed to be felt both inside and outside the house.
Inside the house, Xie Lingqin, who had rushed into the inner room, stood there, looking at Xu Yiran, who was shirtless.
