Speaking of which, we need to coordinate our story with Bai Yu.
"We don't have any ingredients today. How about this, we'll go to a hot pot restaurant another day and I'll cook it for you then."
As Xie Lingqin spoke, she pointed to the westward-moving crescent moon on the horizon, "Look, it's too late, Your Highness. Eating too much at night is not good for digestion."
Yuwen Yao looked at Xie Lingqin, his gaze sweeping over her fair face inch by inch, and then, as if persuaded, nodded, "Alright."
Xie Lingqin breathed a slight sigh of relief and took the lead in walking forward. She had only taken one step when she felt a tightness around her waist. A strong body suddenly leaned down, his hands gripping her waist, his head resting on her shoulder, and his breath hot against her neck.
So sudden and clingy, Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat.
"You smell so good." Yuwen Yao tightened his grip and pinched Xie Lingqin's waist, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice. "That's right, your waist is too thin. Eat more."
Xie Lingqin...
"Your Highness, it's getting dark. Go back to sleep."
"good."
Xie Lingqin discovered that as long as Yuwen Yao was there and no outsiders were watching, she didn't need to walk anymore; she could lie in his arms the whole time.
And just like riding a flying car, she returned to Qingshui Pavilion from the chilling cliff.
"Go to sleep." Yuwen Yao said softly as he gently placed Xie Lingqin on the bed.
Xie Lingqin nodded, about to lower the curtain, when she saw Yuwen Yao also beginning to undress...
"What are you doing?" Xie Lingqin sat up abruptly, her face serious.
Yuwen Yao paused slightly, a faint light shining in his phoenix eyes. "I want to sleep here."
"impossible."
"Why."
Why are you asking?
Xie Lingqin was truly exhausted. She sighed and said, "Never been in a relationship before, huh? I'll teach you."
"You'll teach me?" A subtle smile flickered in Yuwen Yao's eyes.
Xie Lingqin, without blushing or panting, said, "Holding hands, hugging, kissing, and finally going to sleep."
"Isn't that exactly what we're doing?"
There is a lot of distance between kissing and sleeping.
"Then I..."
"If you don't leave, I'll scream."
"All right."
Yuwen Yao sighed with a hint of helplessness, then looked at Xie Lingqin with a touch of resentment. Even after walking to the window, his gaze remained fixed on Xie Lingqin.
Such unusually rosy lips, and those phoenix eyes, misty with starlight after the kiss, were more beautiful than any Feng Ying...
Xie Lingqin looked away.
These things need to be done slowly and patiently.
She cannot be seduced.
When they turned around, the crown prince was already gone.
Xie Lingqin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If she didn't leave soon, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't be able to resist pouncing on him.
Turning her head, Xie Lingqin saw the mirror. Looking at herself in the mirror, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were watery, and her lips were bright red.
This clearly shows that the woman is full of spring fever and her thoughts are fully revealed.
Really...
Fortunately, no one saw it.
This Yuwen Yao...
Xie Lingqin looked towards the window again, her eyes narrowing slightly. Could it be that they've come to climb through the window again in the middle of the night?
However, she was truly exhausted after a day and a night.
However, Xie Lingqin was unaware that after she fell asleep, a very thin and tiny black shadow crawled out from under the covers, trying to slip under Xie Lingqin's wrist. But suddenly, the jade bracelet on her wrist lit up, and the tiny black shadow seemed to be startled, shrinking back quickly to the bottom of the covers.
Dawn broke.
Xie Lingqin got up exceptionally early today and instructed Zihe to go out and do something, then asked Tridacna to bring water for washing up.
When Tridacna brought in the water, she glanced at Xie Lingqin's face, and then, as if thinking of something, stepped forward and put down the basin. "Miss, you came back very late last night?"
"Hmm." Xie Lingqin raised her wrist, revealing the fine jade bracelet.
Upon glancing at it, Tridacna's heart sank. After a moment, she asked with great curiosity, "Miss, this..."
"This was a gift from Her Majesty the Empress when I entered the palace yesterday." Xie Lingqin shook the bracelet, seemingly somewhat helpless.
Upon hearing this, Tridacna seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then Her Majesty the Empress is good to Miss."
"Is he alright? When Xie Danling returned last night, did he make any unusual noises?"
Tridacna thought for a moment, then replied, "No, Miss." Zihe naturally told her what had happened last night.
After answering, Tridacna went to the cabinet next to her and got Xie Lingqin a set of clothes.
White flowing lines, pure black piping.
Xie Lingqin raised an eyebrow. "You have a good eye for fashion. I was just thinking of wearing this outfit too. It'll be convenient when I go out to investigate a case."
Tridacna was very pleased to be praised by Xie Lingqin. "Of course, having been by Miss's side for so long, I naturally have to be more perceptive."
Xie Lingqin changed her clothes and then tidied herself up in front of the mirror.
It has to be said that clothes make the man; this cool and elegant outfit made her appear composed and unapproachable.
"Miss, I've brought the things back." Zihe walked in from outside after breakfast, handing over the crossbow in her hand.
Xie Lingqin accepted the gift in a good mood and then asked, "What did the blacksmith shop owner say today?"
Zihe shook her head. "No, in fact, I've inquired around and found out that the blacksmith's owner is indeed passionate about forging iron weapons. So, he probably just took a liking to the material of your dagger, Miss."
"Hmm." Xie Lingqin looked at the bow and crossbow in her hand, fiddled with them for a long time, and then put them away in her sleeve.
She wanted both twenty taels and two hundred taels.
...
When Xie Lingqin left the mansion, General Xie came to give her a few more words of advice, and added that she must be diligent and find the real Xie Lingyu as soon as possible.
