He did indeed have an injured arm, which was now bandaged, and he seemed to be fine. However, Xie Lingqin only looked slightly startled, nothing more. He, on the other hand, blushed slightly, a little embarrassed, and casually pulled up his clothes with one hand, saying, "You're back."
"Yes, I'm back. I heard from Lvwu that you were injured, so I came to check on you."
"The injury isn't serious, don't worry."
While talking to Xie Lingqin, Xu Yiran quickly fastened her belt, her eyes showing a rare hint of shyness and embarrassment.
But it's too peaceful.
The awkwardness seemed to vanish into thin air in an instant.
outside the house.
Suanpizi and Lvwu exchanged a glance and sighed silently.
Such a good opportunity! Young master really doesn't know how to cherish it. This Miss Lingqin is indeed an extraordinary woman.
But Miss Lingqin wasn't embarrassed, nor did she scream. Young master, why don't you be a little more reserved? If you just let out a shout, wouldn't that create a certain... ambiguous atmosphere?
Sour skin is getting a little anxious.
At this moment, Yuwen Qingyue, who had just arrived with Xie Lingqin, stood to the side with a calm expression, looking at Lüwu, Suanpizi, and then at the room.
Of course, she couldn't see what was happening inside, but judging from the atmosphere, she guessed something. She composed herself, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Inside the house.
Seeing that Xu Yiran hadn't fastened her belt properly for a while because of her hand injury, Xie Lingqin stepped forward. However, after taking only two steps, she remembered something and called out to the outside, "Sour Pizi, come in."
Upon hearing the ominous sound outside the door, Suanpizi immediately put down the basin in his hand and darted into the room, a fawning smile on his thin face. "Miss Lingqin, what are your orders?"
"Help your young master fasten his belt."
After giving her instructions, Xie Lingqin turned and left the room.
He looked completely at ease, without the slightest blush or palpitation.
Sourpis sighed.
"Oh, young master, I'm not trying to be mean, but with such a good opportunity, why are you still wearing your belt? Just let Miss Lingqin admire you; she might just fall for you. You..."
Suanpizi stepped forward, helping Xu Yiran tie her belt while muttering to himself.
Xu Yiran didn't say anything, just quietly looked at him. Her eyes were so clear, so transparent, so insightful that they made Suanpizi's heart skip a beat.
"My lord, although I am quite handsome, I don't have... this hobby..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yiran's clear eyes widened in surprise, as if she had just come to her senses. After a moment, her smile turned slightly bitter. "You're right."
Um?
Suanpizi fastened his belt and took a step back, looking at the handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his features distinct and his demeanor pure and holy, and for a moment he was a little confused.
"If showing my charm can make her happy, that would be a great option, but..."
Xu Yiran sighed softly, "I'm not the one in her heart, so no matter what, to her, I'm just a blank sheet of paper that won't cause any ripples."
As Xu Yiran finished speaking, she suddenly closed her eyes slightly, and a memory flashed through her mind: that day in Bei Rong, she had been poisoned by the "Spring Passion" drug, and that underground cave...
A light fragrance with a rich, honey-like aroma.
An ambiguous atmosphere, a hurried kiss.
She was so close, so very close...
In an instant, Xu Yiran forced herself to regain her composure, her face returning to its usual calm and peaceful expression. She casually pulled down the sleeve beside her to cover the already bandaged wound, and strolled out of the house.
Suanpizi sighed and lamented, but Ji refused to give up. "Young master, I refuse to believe that an iron pestle cannot be ground into a needle."
Xu Yiran turned to look at him, "I've been working on it for a while now, and I'm looking forward to it coming true."
Sour-skinned was caught off guard by Xu Yiran's words and couldn't respond for a moment.
Xie Lingqin, who had left the house, asked Lü Wu to find a room for Yuwen Qingyue to stay in.
Yuwen Qingyue was naturally more than happy to oblige.
Afterwards, Xie Lingqin and Xu Yiran left the courtyard together and walked around for a long time before finally finding Xuanyuan Du in an extremely old house.
"He asked to come here. It is said that this is where his mother lived before she died, and no one has set foot here for many years."
Xu Yiran explained.
Xie Lingqin looked around and indeed, it was desolate and lonely. The surrounding area was filled with ancient and dilapidated buildings, pavilions, and towers. At this moment, Xuanyuan was sitting alone in the pavilion.
He had already bathed and changed his clothes, but the desolation in his expression and the wounds on his face were still there.
"He was capable enough to contend with Duanmu Rong, but he wasn't."
Xie Lingqin narrowed her eyes and walked over.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Du raised his eyes slightly, looked at Xie Lingqin, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "I just received news that Crown Prince Yuwen at the Western Xia border has not left his room for a whole day."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's pupils contracted slightly, a fleeting pain flashing through her heart, but her voice remained flat, "What do you want to say?"
"Therefore, it is very likely that Yuwen Yao has already secretly infiltrated Western Xia, and more likely, he entered this city a long time ago."
Xuanyuan Dudao.
Xie Lingqin looked at him, "Xuanyuan Du, regardless of whether he infiltrated or not, you should know that I am sworn enemies with him. Anyone who gets in my way will die." Xie Lingqin's voice was soft but firm. As she spoke, she took out the military token from her sleeve and handed it to Xuanyuan Du, "Whether you accept it or not is up to you."
"I never imagined that I would become the Crown Prince or the Emperor of Western Xia."
Xuanyuan smiled bitterly.
"You don't necessarily have to be the emperor of Western Xia."
Xie Lingqin looked at him and said, "There are hundreds of ways to solve a problem in this world, but I only mentioned two of them before."
