Upon hearing this, Yuwen Xian's eyes flashed with anger. "You... you really do hold a grudge against me."
"Heh, if I were to kill you now, Your Highness, would you hold a grudge against me?"
Yuwen Xian was taken aback by this question.
"Of course, more importantly, I heard that Your Highness has been seriously injured since returning to the manor with the fake Xie Lingqin in the palace. But I didn't see Your Highness injured that day. That's strange."
"What did you say?"
Yuwen Xian felt as if someone had suddenly stepped on his sore spot. He placed his palm on the table, and the sudden release of his internal energy almost overturned the table.
However, Xie Lingqin remained calm and composed. Instead, she picked up her teacup and took a sip. In the light mist, one could see that the woman's face was as beautiful as jade and her eyebrows as delicate as a painting, yet her teeth were cold and sharp.
"You..." Yuwen Xian looked at Xie Lingqin, finally managing to hold back his anger, "How did you know I was seriously injured?"
When Yuwen Xian uttered the last four words, it was as if he was testing Xie Lingqin.
Because his physical injury is...
Moreover, this matter should only be known to Elder Dong, the man named Yan She, and his loyal servants.
His men would not betray him, nor would Dong Zhuo say anything. Since that Yan She was on Dong Zhuo's side, he should also know that this matter was of great importance.
Besides, if I were to say it, I would have said it already.
So, how did Xie Lingqin know this? Was it just a guess?
"Yes, when I went out that day, I saw Elder Dong and a young master enter the Prince Xian's residence through the back door. I only caught a glimpse of it, but after thinking about it, I guessed what it was."
Xie Lingqin said.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she hadn't guessed it...
At this moment, Bai Yu also brought over two bowls of maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot). When she saw Xie Lingqin, she simply greeted her politely and then withdrew.
The Prince Xian looked at the two large bowls of spicy broth and clear soup in front of him, but didn't rush to pick up his chopsticks. He looked at Xie Lingqin and asked, "I heard that you and Prince Yi are very close?"
"Yes, we have a lot in common, and she's been very helpful to me," Xie Lingqin nodded.
"Is that so?" A dark glint flashed in Yuwen Xian's eyes.
"Alright, I won't disturb Your Highness's meal any longer. I'll take my leave now."
Xie Lingqin got up and left without lingering.
Zihe immediately followed.
The wise prince did not stop him, but his eyes burned with anger as he looked at the two bowls of maocai in front of him.
The resentment in my heart, the loss that should have been in my own hands...
"Fifth Master, do you need my subordinate...?"
"No need, it was I who underestimated her, I..."
The flames in Yuwen Xian's eyes burned even brighter.
After leaving Tianxia Yiwei, Xie Lingqin instructed the person secretly listening to the sea, "Tell Baiyu to be careful."
"Yes." From the shadows, Tinghai accepted the order and left.
"Miss, you guessed it?"
Zihe finally understood.
Xie Lingqin nodded. "Yuwen Xian must have wanted to see me when he left the manor today, because he was unwilling to accept his fate. However, he couldn't openly go to the General's manor. He must have seen me beforehand. The two men who were talking in front of us just now were probably brought by him to deliberately lure me there."
"Unfortunately, the wise prince was rendered speechless by the young lady's few words. Now he just wants to find a place to vent his anger, but he can't do it all over the world."
"Yes, right now, I guess they're not even tasting food yet."
"Who told him to be blind back then?"
Xie Lingqin gave a cold laugh, "It's a good thing he's blind." With that, Xie Lingqin waved her hand, "Let's go back to the manor."
Upon returning to the General's Mansion, Xie Lingqin inquired with Xie Yushu again. It turned out that the number of guards in her adoptive father's study had not only not decreased, but had actually increased.
There must be some precious secret here!
Xie Lingqin pushed open the door and entered the room, her eyes suddenly softening.
"Finally, they've decided to come back."
On the soft couch, Yuwen Yao put down the book in his hand and looked up at her.
Xie Lingqin was about to reply when she glanced at the book in Yuwen Yao's hand and suddenly felt like crying.
