At that moment, a white shadow flashed inside the room.
A person appeared beside the bed.
The giant clam looked at the newcomer with a mixture of amusement and anger.
"This is the way you described it, causing the young lady to quarrel with the crown prince and even making her so angry that she suffered a poisoning attack."
Xu Yiran smiled slightly, "At least, it's clear that her relationship with the Crown Prince isn't unbreakable, and..."
"What?"
"I was surprised that the Crown Prince was so angry when he saw me with Xie Lingqin."
The giant clam shell looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"The Crown Prince has always known me. More than a decade ago, I fought him. He remained calm and composed, and even after seeing so many secrets about the royal family, he could still destroy many of my Heavenly Mystery Hall's mechanisms and information without changing his expression. I thought that nothing and no one in this world could stir his emotions, but I never expected..."
Xu Yiran shifted her gaze slightly to the bedside, "Xie Lingqin is his weakness."
I don't know whether to be happy or sad about this statement.
“I don’t think so.” Tridacna looked thoughtful. “The Northern Rong royal family is cold-hearted by nature. Even though the crown prince is different from others, he is, after all, surnamed Yuwen. The cruelty in his blood is beyond our comprehension.”
"Okay, come on, help her up. I'll use my internal energy to suppress the poison in her body as quickly as possible."
Tridacna nodded and did as instructed.
Xu Yiran sat cross-legged on the bed, her palms pressed against Xie Lingqin's back.
Soon, heat emanated from her palms, and Xie Lingqin's complexion improved.
Suddenly, a figure swept in from outside the window, raising its hand halfway before pulling it back.
“Xu Yiran, you shouldn’t have taken the opportunity to transfer your internal energy to her.”
Xu Yiran slightly opened her eyes and looked at Yuwen Yao, "Crown Prince, are you afraid?"
"You should know that her constitution is not suitable for practicing internal martial arts."
"I know."
Xu Yiran stopped what she was doing and gently placed Xie Lingqin down.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, a palm strike came from Yuwen Yao.
As Xu Yiran flashed by, Yuwen Yao had already rushed to the bedside and was looking at Xie Lingqin.
Just then, Xie Lingqin opened her eyes. Upon seeing Yuwen Yao, her face immediately darkened, and she was furious. "Yingwen Yao, what are you doing here? Get out of here."
"Xie Lingqin!"
"I told you to leave."
"And what about him?"
Yuwen Yao pointed at Xu Yiran beside him, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
"Xu Yiran?"
“Miss, just now Young Master Xu guided your internal energy to suppress the poison,” Tridacna immediately said from the side.
Xie Lingqin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Yiran and said, "Thank you."
"Xie Lingqin!"
Yuwen Yao's expression darkened upon hearing Xie Lingqin's gentle tone.
"What? Don't call me."
Xie Lingqin's expression was cold.
"Alright, you want to thank him, right?" Yuwen Yao then looked at Xu Yiran. "Then I will also thank Xie Lingqin for your help."
"Who needs your help?"
Xie Lingqin also has a temper.
Yuwen Yao......
"Fine, Xie Lingqin, you've got a temper, haven't you? I'm leaving." Yuwen Yao was truly furious, his face dark and gloomy. He took a step, then turned back, tossed the small bottle in his hand, and left it beside Xie Lingqin.
With a flash, he was gone.
Xie Lingqin looked at the medicine bottle.
This must be the medicine Yuwen Yao was originally going to give her to suppress the toxins.
"Xie Lingqin, my feelings for you are as clear as day and as bright as the sun and moon. Helping you just now was also..."
"You can leave now."
Before Xu Yiran could finish speaking, Xie Lingqin, with a stern expression, chased her away.
Xu Yiran...
Zihe had already come in after hearing the commotion. She looked at Xu Yiran and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Xu, our young lady said you can leave now."
"Alright, take good care of yourself. I'll come see you another day."
As soon as Xu Yiran finished speaking, she flashed out of the window and disappeared from the spot.
“Giant clam shell from the Purple River,” Xie Lingqin called out.
"exist."
"You two, seal up the windows for me," Xie Lingqin ordered coldly.
Zihe...
Tridacna...
"Miss, the windows are sealed off, this..."
"Then seal the door. In short, don't let these two bother me again."
This river...
Tridacna...
Let's just quietly step aside for now.
Meanwhile, outside the General's Mansion, a bright moon hung high on a tall building in the distance.
Yuwen Yao stood there, looking at Xie Lingqin's house, her wide sleeves flowing like clouds, her face as white as snow, her aura as high as a mountain.
On the other side, Xu Yiran clasped her hands together, smiling radiantly.
"Your Highness has quite the refined taste, enjoying the moon here?"
"I am looking at my future daughter-in-law."
The prince said, without even a twitch of his eyelids.
“Oh, I’m looking at my future wife,” Xu Yiran said, glancing towards Xie Lingqin’s courtyard.
"Young Master Xu, some things shouldn't be said too soon."
"I was just thinking of saying that to the Crown Prince as well," Xu Yiran replied with a gentle smile, neither humble nor arrogant.
Yuwen Yao looked at Xu Yiran with deep eyes.
"Your Highness, there's no need to look at me like that. After all, you knew back then that there was an inextricable entanglement between her and me, and you..."
"I love her."
Yuwen Yao said, looking at Xu Yiran, "So, you can stop now."
“You love her, but you can’t guarantee you won’t hurt her.” Xu Yiran gently stroked her black hair, her voice soft and gentle as flowing water.
"I think that if I could break into the Heavenly Mystery Hall all by myself more than ten years ago, I can destroy it completely more than ten years later."
You won't.
Xu Yiran looked at the Crown Prince with absolute certainty, "If you wanted to destroy it, you would have done it long ago, not waited until now."
