The sky was getting dark.
After leaving the general's mansion, Li Qingyu could no longer maintain her composure. When she reached a secluded spot, she finally raised her hand and slammed it hard against a wall.
"Miss, please calm down. I think that Miss Xie is shameless and doesn't think much of you. She's probably just trying to anger you."
"certainly."
Li Qingyu took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes darkening with a somber light.
"Of course she did it on purpose, and she did it on purpose, so clever."
Li Qingyu said coldly.
"Clever?" The maid behind her was slightly taken aback. "Miss, what do you mean by that?"
"This Xie Lingqin is indeed no ordinary person, and she is indeed quite different from others."
The maid behind her was stunned again, "Miss means..."
"She must have known why I went to see her today, which is why she set this up. I was so angry that I left without asking any questions."
"So, Miss Xie deliberately put herself in this state just so that you wouldn't ask me to help investigate the case?"
“Of course.” Li Qingyu clapped her hands, slowly tucking them into her sleeves, and her expression returned to its usual composure. “Even if the Crown Prince takes good care of her a few more times, it doesn’t matter. How could he possibly show her any special favor? So, she’s really clever. She knew I had feelings for the Crown Prince, so she used him to provoke me, which almost made me lose my composure just now.”
As Li Qingyu spoke, her tone was filled with resentment.
"That's right. What dream? What dream where the Crown Prince was extremely gentle with her? It must all be her own doing. If the Crown Prince really treated her well, why would he invite her to meet? Besides, how could someone like the Crown Prince like such a shameless woman who doesn't care about her reputation? And who knows who she got those things with? She's a disgrace to us women."
The girl also spoke coldly and angrily.
Li Qingyu raised her head slightly, her face already as beautiful as a painting. "Hmm, just now, what did you think of Xie Lingqin's two maids in the courtyard?"
“Reporting to Miss, the one named Tridacna doesn’t know martial arts, but the one named Zihe, I have observed her carefully. She lands lighter than ordinary people, and her speech and actions are calm and composed with the demeanor of a martial artist.”
Li Qingyu pondered, "This Xie Lingqin, I really underestimated her before. To receive such an imperial decree, if she didn't have some ability, why would the Emperor bother to make such a fuss? After all these years, wouldn't it have been better to let her live or die on her own? Then..." Li Qingyu thought for a moment, then turned her head, her beautiful eyes filled with a cold light, "Compared to Zihe, who is better?"
"This servant is ashamed. This servant did not discern the depth of Zihe's martial arts skills. I suppose they are about equal to this servant, perhaps even close."
Li Qingyu's expression was so cold and aloof that even the nearby moonlight seemed to retreat.
After a moment, Li Qingyu composed herself and said, "Let's go back to the manor first. Now, I'm even more convinced that Xie Lingqin is involved in my brother's death. She asked me to speak out and asked me to help investigate the case. So, I'll go to the palace."
As the moonlight settled, and Li Qingyu had completely disappeared into the distance, a figure finally stirred in the shadows.
"Sigh, I was just trying to avoid my mother, take a break, and get some sleep, and yet this young master overheard me..."
With a soft murmur, Yu Qingyi lightly touched the ground with her toes and looked ahead at the location of the General's Mansion under the moonlight.
Little girl, you're amazing!
...
General's Mansion, Qingshui Pavilion.
Zihe and Tridacna were stunned for a long time before they encouraged each other and looked at Xie Lingqin, "Miss, are you... are you alright?"
"Shouldn't it be Miss Li who has something to do?"
“But, Miss, I think Miss Li is not stupid. She was just angry, but after thinking about it, she understands.”
"I just want her to understand, so she shouldn't try anything with me." Xie Lingqin chuckled, her starry eyes bright. "She wants me to agree to let her help with the investigation. If I disagree, it would be inconsiderate of me. But if I agree, wouldn't that be using the Emperor's power? Besides..." Xie Lingqin's gaze fell on Zihe and Chequ, and she raised an eyebrow and smiled. "She wants to covet the man I like, so of course I have to teach her a lesson."
As she spoke, Xie Lingqin smiled and gently closed the door.
Outside the door, Zihe and Tridacna stood there, their expressions blank, each lost in their own thoughts.
The young lady's smile just now was so beautiful, so sweet, and so eerie.
"So, Miss has reconciled with the Crown Prince? And what Miss did just now wasn't just to anger Miss Li, it was really a confrontation with the Crown Prince..."
Zihe was overjoyed.
Tridacna Qiang smiled and agreed, but his mind was filled with complicated thoughts.
The little Gu worm is clearly gone. If it didn't crawl onto the young lady, it should have crawled onto the crown prince.
The Crown Prince has been poisoned by this curse; he must absolutely not approach the young lady.
Even if the Crown Prince's medical skills are superb, there will inevitably be some damage.
this……
Having suppressed his thoughts, Tridacna had no choice but to retreat.
Inside the house.
Xie Lingqin then lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room. When she saw the man still lying on the couch, she was stunned. "Didn't you leave?"
"I wanted to see how my woman's smile would be when her scheme succeeded, so I came back specifically to take a look."
On the bed, Yuwen Yao lay on his side, his black hair brushing against his face, supporting his head with his hand, his eyes smiling.
It is said that a woman like this is so beautiful that she could bring ruin to a country and be extremely alluring.
However, when such a cold and alluringly handsome man does it, it is enough to make people forget to breathe and bewitch them to death.
Xie Lingqin couldn't help but swallow hard, turning her eyes away. "I said, you can get up now."
"Just now, I got a little addicted to kissing, so I want to do it again."
