They were clearly afraid the Crown Prince would retaliate.
Xie Lingqin felt a slight thrill in her heart.
Just mentioning Yuwen Yao is indeed very useful.
As the Holy Maiden spoke, a perfunctory smile appeared on her serious brows. She suddenly looked at Li Qingyu and said, "However, didn't the Emperor say before that he would betroth you to the Crown Prince? Could it be that the Crown Prince wants the Princess Ying so soon?"
These words were clearly meant to help Li Qingyu and put Xie Lingqin down.
Li Qingyu wouldn't refuse the choice between Ehuang and Nüying, but Xie Lingqin was definitely not the person who could be her equal.
"One life, one love, one partner—I think that's the Crown Prince's true thought."
Xie Lingqin gently straightened her sleeves, unhurried yet confident and certain. The Crown Prince was hers, and he would only ever have her in his life.
Their eyes met.
Dark waves surged in Li Qingyu's eyes, while Xie Lingqin remained calm and composed.
At this moment, Qi Rufeng had already walked out of the prison next to the mansion, and it looked like his clothes and hair had been tidied up.
However, she has lost a lot of weight.
"Xie Lingqin, you..."
"Young Master Qi, please watch your words."
Before Qi Rufeng could finish speaking, Xie Lingqin interrupted him with a smile, then looked at Li Qingyu and said, "Miss Li, don't you agree?"
“Miss Xie is indeed eloquent. The Holy Maiden has only just arrived in the capital and should rest. Let me escort you back to your residence.”
"Alright."
"Well then, I won't see you off."
Xie Lingqin ignored Qi Rufeng's hateful gaze, her expression unchanged.
When Li Qingyu missed Xie Lingqin, she suddenly stopped.
"Xie Lingqin, don't think that the Crown Prince will really marry you. It is only natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the Crown Prince. So, don't be smug."
The sound was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
"Oh!"
Xie Lingqin chuckled softly, her cherry lips parting slightly, "So, this is roughly the meaning of 'sour grapes'."
"Hmph, don't be so arrogant."
"Then do you have the right to be arrogant?"
"At least, the Emperor favors me."
Xie Lingqin chuckled.
Li Qingyu and the Holy Woman left, and Qi Rujian had no choice but to follow.
Lord Huo, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Poisoned?"
Xie Lingqin then looked at Lord Huo.
Xie Lingqin's clear and sharp eyes seemed to be able to see right through people's hearts.
“That’s right. The Holy Maiden’s words cannot be questioned. Lord Huo, it’s better to avoid trouble.”
Xie Lingqin then added.
Upon hearing this, Lord Huo smiled and went along with it, saying, "Miss Xie is very perceptive."
"It's not spiritual insight, it's clearly aimed at me."
Xie Lingqin sighed and looked at Lord Huo, "Lord Huo, don't worry. I was the one who sent Qi Rufeng to the prison, and I'm the one who released him now. He won't cause you any trouble."
Lord Huo was taken aback. He had just considered that now that Young Master Qi had left, he was probably resentful towards him and harbored thoughts of revenge...
Xie Lingqin meant that even if Qi Rufeng wanted to take revenge on him, she, Xie Lingqin, would protect him.
...
Three streams and nine alleys.
Liu Yunzhou watched Lanxiang, his brows twitching slightly, until he saw Lanxiang enter the house and close the door before leaving with his men.
"Sir, although you saved Miss Lanxiang today, it's not only chaotic to stay here, but if Young Master Hao comes to harass her again, Miss Lanxiang will be in even more trouble."
Behind him, someone whispered.
He had been by the young master's side since childhood and understood his thoughts best. The young master was kind-hearted and always wanted everything to be perfect. Otherwise, after all these years, he would not have extended his love for the general's wife to Miss Xie, taking such good care of her as well.
However, Miss Xie now truly has the demeanor of a general's wife.
"What you say makes sense, this place..."
Liu Yunzhou lightly covered his mouth and nose, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed. "However, it is quite inconvenient for a man like me to help a woman... By the way..."
A glint of light flashed in Liu Yunzhou's handsome eyes as he instructed the newcomer, "Let's go find Xie Lingqin."
Looking for Miss Xie?
"Yes, she is a woman. It will be much more convenient to entrust this matter to her."
"Your Excellency is wise."
dark place.
Seeing Liu Yunzhou's swift steps and extremely excited demeanor, his eyes darkened.
The relationship between Liu Yunzhou and Xie Lingqin is so good, and he even trusts her?
This Xie Lingzhu is truly remarkable. Not only does she have the heart of her cold and aloof Crown Prince brother, but she also has excellent connections.
"Fifth Princess, this is a backwater, a place of utter depravity, and you are of noble birth..."
The guards behind the man stepped forward to persuade him.
Yuwen Qingyue glared at the other party, "Mind your own business. This princess knows how to act."
"But……"
"But what?" The Fifth Princess stroked her chin, and a wicked look flashed across her pretty face as if she had thought of something, before she giggled.
"Didn't Father say that Xie Lingqin is now very popular in the capital and not easy to touch? Then let's move her little by little."
The Fifth Princess landed softly and nimbly, then gave instructions to the people behind her.
...
Xie Lingqin left the Jingzhao Yin Mansion with Zihe, intending to head towards Tianxia Yiwei to visit the old woman, but halfway there they encountered Liu Yunzhou.
After listening to Liu Yunzhou explain his purpose, Xie Lingqin paused for a moment before nodding, "Alright, I understand. It's rare to find someone as chivalrous as Lord Liu. I will certainly give my full support."
Liu Yunzhou blushed instantly at these words, pointing at Xie Lingzhu, "You, you, don't talk nonsense."
