The voice was so deep, like a heavy stone pressing down on one's heart, causing inexplicable panic.
Although she had only heard it once, Xie Lingqin would never forget it.
Come to think of it, if she hadn't gotten into Xie Lingyu's carriage that time, encountered Yu Qingyi, and received help from the Crown Prince, she would be...
Xie Lingqin's gaze sharpened. That time, she was dressed as an ordinary maid, and had undergone special treatment, so...
"Great hero, spare my life! Spare my life!"
All thoughts flashed by in an instant, and Xie Lingqin immediately covered her head and trembled, feigning weakness.
Sure enough, seeing the woman in front of him terrified and flustered, her lips trembling, the man loosened his grip on the dagger slightly. However, his voice was even more stern and deep than before, "Don't make a sound."
"Waaah... I won't call, I won't call..."
"Where is this?" came the man's deep voice, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.
The man was injured, and quite badly.
Although Xie Lingqin had her back to the man, she was certain.
"...This...this is the General's Mansion..."
Xie Lingqin's voice was almost choked with tears as she pleaded, "I'm not favored, please let me go..."
"The General's Mansion? The Xie General's Mansion of Bei Rong?" The man's expression was solemn.
Xie Lingqin's eyebrows twitched.
This person is not from Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Xie Lingqin held her head and nodded frantically.
The man was also quite cautious. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Xie Lingxin's wrist. Seeing that she really had no internal strength, he relaxed. His dark eyes, like those of a hawk, narrowed tightly as he put away his dagger. "Go, find me some hemostatic medicine."
The man suppressed his pain as he gave the order.
Xie Lingqin then got up shakily. As she turned to the side, she finally saw the man clearly. He was tall and strong, dressed in black. Except for his eyes, everything else was covered, so she couldn't see his face.
However, now is the best time to resist.
Xie Lingqin flipped her hand, and a dagger appeared, with silver needles hidden beneath it...
This is called a two-pronged approach, achieving a surprising victory.
only……
All the actions that were about to be taken were interrupted.
The tightly closed door suddenly opened.
A person was standing at the door.
...
After returning to the General's Mansion from Fahua Temple, Xie Lingyu felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He had originally planned to visit the Crown Prince today and be very attentive to him, but somehow he ended up back in a daze.
Before she could figure this out, her father sent word that she should leave early for the Marquis of Anping's residence the next day. Xie Lingyu would certainly not miss such a brilliant and important occasion, so she washed up and went to bed early.
But this sleep...
Nightmares kept recurring, whispered murmurs, mocking laughter and angry curses...
The maids on night watch were all bewildered. They looked at each other, then went forward and knocked on the door. "Miss, is something the matter...?"
Startled awake by a call, Xie Lingyu slapped her forehead and shouted at the door, "Don't cause trouble."
After saying that, he fell asleep again.
In this sleep, spring whispers and angry laughter once again filled the air.
However, the maids outside the door exchanged glances but dared not ask any more questions, and could only lower their heads as much as possible.
...
Xie Lingqin looked at the person at the door, her expression not good.
Crown Prince.
He stood there in a black robe, his aloofness as pure as jade, as if the world were in his hands.
Just as he appeared, the man in black had already firmly pressed his dagger against Xie Lingxin's neck.
Xie Lingqin...
Speechless.
“He’s good at running.” Yuwen Yao glanced at the man in black.
"Hero, run! I'll hold off the Crown Prince for you!" No sooner said than Xie Lingqin suddenly spoke with a righteous and resounding voice, shielding the man in black behind her.
The situation changed too quickly.
Not to mention the man in black, even Crown Prince Yuwen Yao couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on his face.
"Aren't you going to run? Are you waiting to die?" Xie Lingqin quickly added.
Sometimes, when faced with life and death, the brain freezes for a moment.
The man in black leaped out of the window with a quick swift movement.
Yuwen Yao didn't give chase. Instead, he looked at Xie Lingqin intently and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm just afraid of dying," Xie Lingqin blinked obediently, speaking with complete honesty.
With the Crown Prince around, what business is there for her? She can just go to sleep peacefully.
"Oh!"
Behind her, Yuwen Yao had no intention of believing Xie Lingqin's words. With a cold sneer, Xie Lingqin felt a chill on the back of her neck before Yuwen Yao grabbed her and chased after her.
"Hmm... Ah... There's a ghost... Scary... I like it... Hmm..."
The two had just passed through several courtyards when they suddenly heard incessant muttering coming from a house ahead...
this……
Xie Lingyu's voice.
"Bang."
Before Xie Lingqin could figure it out, she was forcefully thrown to the ground.
It was thrown into Xie Lingyu's room.
Beside Xie Lingyu's bed, the man in black stood there, his gaze swirling as he watched Xie Lingyu writhe intimately on the bed.
"Seduction techniques." The man in black murmured as if he were possessed, his voice less deep and more infatuated.
"Tell me." At this moment, Yu Qingyi suddenly walked out cheerfully from the shadows.
"yes……"
The man in black uttered only one word before clenching his teeth in pain, sweat dripping from his forehead like beans, as if he were struggling with himself.
Xie Lingqin got up from the ground, looked at the Crown Prince who seemed to have everything under control, and then at Yu Qingyi who was rarely so serious.
Suddenly, everything became clear.
Everything is just a routine.
During the day, they punished Xie Lingyu, and at night, they used Xie Lingyu as bait to fall into the trap set by the Crown Prince and Yu Qingyi, thus achieving their goal.
