To avoid creating a rift with General Xie, Xie Lingqin left with Zihe after saying this.
General Xie looked at Xie Lingqin's slender back, lost in thought.
...
We walked all the way back to Qingfeng Pavilion.
Xie Lingqin and Zihe exchanged a complicated look before walking straight into the main house.
The door closed gently.
Inside the house, a man stood by the window.
His figure was like a jade tree, his black robe flowing like clouds.
Even a single silhouette can make the world lose its color, stealing all the brilliance and splendor of this world.
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness." Although Xie Lingqin was unwilling, she still forced herself to say thank you.
Indeed, if the Crown Prince hadn't suddenly appeared just before she left and twisted her wrist without saying a word, she wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed, even with her cunning.
However, General Xie's slap really hurt.
After a long while, Yuwen Yao slowly turned around, his handsome face turning cold as he looked at Xie Lingqin. "This slap is... the price for your disrespect towards me."
His voice was so cold and devoid of any emotion.
Xie Lingqin looked slightly taken aback, her fingers clenching tightly.
"You're not convinced?"
"...I wouldn't dare." Xie Lingqin immediately released her grip. This Crown Prince was far too observant.
"I like obedient people."
Xie Lingqin...
When he looked up again, Yuwen Yao had already vanished without a trace.
The sun was still shining outside the window, but it was a bit cold.
What is this crown prince thinking? He helps her on one hand, but at the same time he spares no effort to trample on her.
Disrespectful?
This clearly refers to what she said last night about him and Xie Lingyu.
Do you like obedient people?
Do you really think she's easy to bully?
"Zihe, come in and help me apply the medicine." After a long while, Xie Lingqin narrowed her eyes and called out to the door.
Zihe walked in, her head bowed low. "Miss, I didn't leak anything out."
"I know." Xie Lingqin raised her head, remaining calm even though she was in so much pain she could hardly breathe.
"The Crown Prince is far more complex than he appears; what he wants to know cannot be kept from him."
"Thank you for your trust, Miss." Zihe was quite grateful. After speaking, she stepped forward and handed the package to the young lady. "Then, Miss, please bear with it."
"It doesn't hurt," Xie Lingqin said. "I should thank the Crown Prince."
One day, she will make others suffer.
She was just worried about how to cover up her inability to write, but now that's been solved, isn't it?
However, this slap...
So today's whole thing was a scheme devised by the second concubine? Then she'll make her pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
