"I was quite surprised too."
Xie Lingqin smiled, "However, in another sense, it can also be called being clever. Since ancient times, weak women have mostly been favored by men."
"Then, Miss, the Crown Prince..."
"So, isn't this an excellent opportunity for the Crown Prince to show his abilities?" Xie Lingqin asked calmly, her eyes sparkling.
As the giant clam and the purple river stared at each other, each lost in their own thoughts, Xie Lingqin's cold, almost threatening voice rang out.
"As long as he dares."
These four words, though spoken lightly, sent a tremor through the souls of Zihe and Tridacna.
"This servant believes that the Crown Prince would never do that; the Crown Prince only has eyes for you, Miss."
Tridacna thought for a moment, then smiled on her round face, “Miss should believe in herself.”
The carriage returned to the general's mansion.
Of course, no news of the arm injury was released from the Ministry of Personnel.
Li Qingyu would naturally weigh the pros and cons of Xie Lingqin's words. If the Emperor were to find out about her impulsive actions, he would likely be disappointed in her, which would be greatly detrimental to both her and the Emperor.
However, Xie Lingqin was not idle either. She had Tinghai secretly send a message to the Crown Prince, which naturally explained the situation of Li Qingyu's injury.
When they heard the news, they all felt it was a tough job.
After all, the crown prince's complexion was quite dark.
"She's not afraid that Li Qingyu will actually attack her if she challenges him."
Yuwen Yao's face was gloomy, because he was worried about this.
So, when Tinghai relayed this message to Xie Lingqin...
Xie Lingqin waved her hand sullenly. If she didn't challenge him, would she just hand the man over to her? So she sent Tinghai to deliver a message to the Crown Prince, telling him not to be blinded by beauty.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's face darkened further, but his eyes were filled with endless doting affection. He waved Tinghai away, and only then did a smile gradually appear on his face.
"Xie Lingqin, one day, I will strip you naked and put you on my bed to punish you for your repeated provocations."
Xie Lingqin sneezed, but without suspecting anything, she lay quietly on the couch reading a book, a rare moment of peace.
What I'm looking at is...
"Miss, you've started studying that medical book that Elder Dong gave you again?"
Zihe brought in hot tea and asked curiously.
Xie Lingqin nodded, "Yes, there's no end to learning. It's always good to know more."
“Miss, you are so intelligent. If you really learn to play the zither and flute, you will surely not lose to Miss Li.”
"Play the zither, play the flute?" Xie Lingqin shook her head, her smile full of meaning.
"Yes, let everyone in the capital see how capable my young lady is."
"However, I forgot to ask the Crown Prince, his medical skills are so superb, and he can even concoct his own medicine. He's so talented..."
“The Crown Prince’s alchemy practice isn’t entirely for his own benefit,” Zihe said. However, when she turned around, she saw that Xie Lingqin had already fallen asleep.
Gently close your eyes and breathe steadily.
Zihe gently stepped forward, removed the book, and helped Xie Lingqin cover herself with the blanket.
"Miss has been quite tired these days."
Tridacna, who was about to walk over, stopped and watched Zihe come out. Only then did the two of them gently close the door and leave.
In the deep, quiet moonlight, a thin layer of rain fell sporadically, only wetting the ground. After the wind passed, the air was still fresh after the rain.
However, the dark clouds in the distance seemed even heavier, showing no sign of dispersing.
It looks like it's extremely far away.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather was fine that day. Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe beside her and asked, "How is she?"
Zihe shook her head, "Replying to Miss is useless. Master Nie is still in prison, the Fifth Princess hasn't made a move, and the Emperor hasn't made a move either."
"Therefore, Nie Zuier was very likely tricked."
Xie Lingqin said, "However, Yu Qingyi will be back soon. If things go well on his end, it will relieve Nie Zuier's worries, and there will be no more concerns here."
"Where is Bai Yu?"
"Miss, Manager Bai is quite normal. He listened to you and didn't ask too many questions about Fuyue Gambling House. Fuyue Gambling House has been closed since the incident and is unusually quiet."
"If Fu Yue Casino continues to close, it may cause trouble. After all, it has been around for so many years and is deeply entrenched."
Xie Lingqin sighed before leaving the General's Mansion and meeting up with Tianxing in a small alley.
These were the very men that Prince Yong had entrusted to him before his death.
Yesterday, Xie Lingqin had secretly sent them a message, instructing them to meet up with Ming Lan. There were about a hundred people in total. Now, half of them are living in the city like normal people, while the other half are scattered outside the city.
"Hello, Miss."
Tianxing was leaning against the wall with a blade of grass in his mouth, gazing casually at the sparsely starlit sky. When he saw Xie Lingqin approaching, he smiled and greeted her.
"Do you know anything else about Prince Yong?"
"It seems so."
"What?"
