Yuwen Yao couldn't help but smile, and lowered his head to kiss her moist lips again. "By the way, news will spread from the palace tomorrow, and at the same time, I think he will announce the news of your marriage to the world. This is obviously a martial arts contest to find a husband."
Xie Lingqin was somewhat surprised, and her eyes narrowed involuntarily. "Such a big commotion."
"He wanted to tell you, and even the world, that what he couldn't have, no one else could have either."
Yuwen Yao's words carried a hint of coldness.
Xie Lingqin stared at him intently. "Are you trying to say that the Emperor's true intention was to kill me?"
Yuwen Yao sighed softly, "That's possible. He can't get the Five Horses Divine Weapon from you, and he doesn't want anyone else to get it either. As long as no one else gets it, he's safe."
Xie Lingqin sighed softly, not afraid at all, but looking at Yuwen Yao with great interest, "Then, what do you want to do?"
“A month.” Yuwen Yao’s eyes were filled with a deep coldness, but softened when he was alone with Xie Lingqin’s clear eyes. “A month is enough for us to do a lot of things.”
"for example……"
"Marrying you is a must."
Yuwen Yao said.
Xie Lingqin's lips suddenly curved into a smile, a smile that was both cool and unusually gentle. "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come and marry me."
The girl's eyes crinkled into crescents. If she had been joking with him before, now she truly wanted to marry him.
"Alright, with green hills and clear waters, I will certainly not let you down."
“Alright.” Xie Lingqin smiled. “If you betray me, I will make the mountains and rivers collapse.”
"How ruthless."
"So, you have to think it over."
Yuwen Yao embraced Xie Lingqin, his smile spreading from his brows to the corners of his eyes, like ink splashes, creating the most beautiful scene in the world.
"By the way, today the Holy Maiden was with Li Qingyu and even said that Li Junru's death was due to being poisoned by a curse. I have a feeling that this matter is not that simple."
Yuwen Yao tightened his grip on Xie Lingqin's waist. "It must be something extraordinary. After all, Li Junru hasn't been laid down yet after so long. That can't be the behavior of the Minister's Mansion."
"You mean the Emperor..."
Yuwen Yao nodded slightly, then sighed, "So, Xie Lingqin, if we're together, there are bound to be countless crises. Will you give up?"
"Hehe!" Xie Lingqin chuckled. "So, without you by my side, my crisis has lessened? It's just that because of you, I have gained another self-righteous rival in love, and this rival has quite a background."
“She is not your rival in love.” Yuwen Yao smiled. “In this world, no one can be your rival in love, because with you in front of me, everyone else is just a passing cloud.”
"good."
That night, after Yuwen Yao had Xie Lingqin train, he confined her to the Crown Prince's residence. She slept in his arms on his bed, and they were intimate for a long time, almost reaching the point of passion, before finally falling asleep.
The next day, before dawn, Xie Lingqin got up and secretly left the Crown Prince's residence.
It is said that a certain part of a man's body is most awakened at dawn. Therefore, just in case, it's better for her to leave early.
After all, she had other things to do today.
Zihe and Tridacna naturally knew that Xie Lingqin was not in the room last night, so when they saw Xie Lingqin return, they immediately went to greet her.
"You didn't sleep all night?"
Xie Lingqin frowned slightly as she looked at the two of them, who were covered in the grime of the elements.
"We two servants were worried about our young lady."
“What trouble could possibly happen if I’m with Yuwen Yao?”
Zihe agreed, "That's what I said too, but Tridacna is just too worried."
Xie Lingqin smiled and looked at the giant clam, "You have a prejudice against the Crown Prince."
"Miss, I don't have it."
Tridacna immediately retorted.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her subtly, then looked away and took a small booklet from her sleeve, handing it to Cheqi. "Can you understand this?"
"this?"
Tridacna took the page, turned it, and her eyes widened in surprise for a moment before she looked away. When she looked at Xie Lingqin again, there was no sign of surprise. "This servant doesn't understand. Miss, don't you understand?"
The question sounds like an inquiry, but from another angle, it also sounds like a probing question.
Xie Lingqin seemed oblivious, gently shaking her head, "I really don't understand it, so I can only wait for that man in black robes to appear and teach me."
Tridacna lowered its brows and fell silent.
Zihe looked at the booklet with interest, "Is this writing or drawing? I've never seen anything like it before."
"Alright, you guys go to sleep too, I'm going to sleep a little longer."
"yes."
As the first rays of dawn touched the courtyard, news of the Fifth Princess's disappearance spread throughout the capital.
Moreover, they quickly found out where Lanxiang lived.
Upon hearing Zihe's news, Lanxiang's face paled. She looked at Xie Lingzhu and said, "Miss Xie, it seems I'm going to cause you trouble. You should have someone send me away quickly."
"Don't worry, no one will suspect me. You don't need to worry either. I spoke with the Crown Prince last night and he will arrange accommodations for you."
"Miss, Lord Liu wants to see you at the gate of the manor."
As soon as Xie Lingqin finished speaking, Tridacna came to report from the doorway.
Xie Lingqin was taken aback, her eyes darkening slightly. "This guy, coming to see me at this time, isn't he just trying to arouse suspicion?"
"This servant can see that Lord Liu is very worried about Miss Lanxiang. If Miss doesn't see her, this servant..."
Xie Lingqin waved her hand, "No need. Deliberately avoiding him will only arouse suspicion. Let him in."
Before long, Lord Liu was led over. When he saw Lanxiang, his expression relaxed slightly, but when he looked at Xie Lingqin, his expression immediately became complicated.
