As dusk settled, layers of bluish-gray hues could be seen on the distant horizon through the trees.
However, being in the midst of this formation, one cannot know whether this is the true heaven.
However, Xie Lingqin could sense that at this moment, there were more than just her and Yuwen An in the formation.
Moreover, Yuwen Yao had just secretly sent her a message, telling her not to act rashly and that he would handle it.
Of course, no matter how much resentment she harbored, Xie Lingqin could not possibly tell him about Yuwen An at this moment. After thinking for a moment, she stopped "insulting Yuwen Yao" and instead climbed a nearby tree, truly waiting for the rabbit to run into her trap.
"Xie Lingqin".
Suddenly, a gentle, soothing voice called out in my ear.
Xie Lingqin turned to the side and saw Xu Yiran.
Xu Yiran was also standing on the tree branch she had stepped on. In the mist that was sometimes light and sometimes thick, a pair of clear and bright eyes were looking at her closely, looking somewhat unreal.
"Why are you here too?"
Xie Lingqin was puzzled and stepped back to keep her distance.
"Because of telepathy, I knew you were in danger, so I came to save you without stopping."
Xu Yiran looked at Xie Lingqin, and every word she uttered was utterly sincere.
Xie Lingqin lowered her gaze slightly, then said politely, "You know of Yuwen An's existence."
This is almost certainly true.
“Of course.” Xu Yiran did not refute, but smiled gently. “Could it be that you have forgotten again that I am the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Hall? Unless it is a heaven-sent disaster, I will know any news in the world that I want to know.
"So, you also received news that he kidnapped me and brought me here."
"Yes, we followed the trail."
"Is there something you need, Xie Danling?"
Xie Lingqin immediately asked.
“He’s my future brother-in-law, so of course I have to make sure he’s safe.”
Xu Yiran said.
Xie Lingqin frowned. "Xu Yiran, you should know that I am not Xie Danling's biological sister."
The implication was that he hadn't actually gained any advantage from his brother-in-law.
Xu Yiran shrugged, not at all embarrassed.
"Then, what about Xie Danling?" Xie Lingqin asked again.
"Your friend rescued him."
friend?
Xie Lingqin frowned, but didn't delve into the matter further.
“To me, no one is more important than you.” As Xu Yiran spoke, her gaze drifted down the tree branch. “It’s so high, let me take you down.”
"No need, it's safe here. Yuwen Yao will find me soon."
"I can take you out of the battle first; wouldn't that be safer?"
Xie Lingqin looked at Xu Yiran, her expression unchanged. "Yuwen An is not simple. Although he and Yuwen Yao are brothers, I am afraid of disrupting Yuwen Yao's plans, so I will not leave."
Xie Lingqin's expression turned serious, and then she said, "You can go now, don't worry about me."
"Xie Lingqin, you are the most important person in my life, and I must protect you." Xu Yiran said, then lifted the corner of her robe and sat down against a tree branch. "If you don't leave, I will stay with you."
"No need."
Xu Yiran stared intently at Xie Lingqin, her clear eyes seemingly filled with a gentle breeze, pure and untainted, rippling softly like a gentle breeze.
In that instant, a moment that felt both familiar and sorrowful, Xie Lingqin, who was usually cold-hearted, pursed her lips slightly, unable to refuse. After a moment, she glanced at Xu Guairan again, and then moved a little to the side.
She didn't want Yuwen Yao to have any misunderstandings.
When you truly fall in love with someone, you will think about them all the time.
She didn't understand it before, thinking it was just bland, inspirational platitudes. But now, she deeply feels that it's a nourishing elixir that seeps into her very bones.
He was jealous, so she tried to avoid it.
Xie Lingqin was deep in thought, thinking about Yuwen Yao, but she didn't notice that just moments before, a hint of loneliness had suddenly risen in Xu Yiran's clear and gentle eyes as she looked at Xie Lingqin.
And within that sense of loneliness lies a profound and weighty meaning.
Xu Yiran's narrow eyes flickered slightly, and she gently raised her hand, slowly, very slowly, reaching out towards Xie Lingqin...
...
At the city gate, the fighting was still raging.
Because today's events were planned in secret, none of the Thunder Guards had any markings on their clothes. They wanted to explain to the other party, but the Prefect of the Capital was furious and thought they were just using clever words. Instead, they attracted even more people to surround them.
The Prefect of Jingzhao personally took charge, and also mobilized the city gate guards.
Upon seeing this, the common people all kept their distance.
...
When Li Qingyu arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, she naturally did not see the Crown Prince.
At this moment, through the special methods of the Thunder Guards, they finally found a clue: the Crown Prince is not in the Crown Prince's residence, but they don't know where he went.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Qingyu ran straight towards the city gate and saw a chaotic fight.
"stop."
Li Qingyu suddenly stepped forward and landed in the fighting circle, her face grim.
"Miss Li, what do you mean?"
The Prefect of the Capital also stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Qingyu, clearly displeased.
"My lord, these people are the Thunder Guards, dedicated to protecting His Majesty's safety."
Knowing that she couldn't afford to offend the Prefect of the Capital, Li Qingyu stepped forward and whispered.
Upon hearing this, the Prefect of the Capital was shocked and was about to say something when Xie Danling, who had been hiding to the side with General Xie, jumped out and said, "How is this possible? Why would the Thunder Guards by the Emperor's side try to assassinate me and my sister?"
Xie Danling raised his voice, looking incredulous.
This immediately stunned everyone around the city gates and the people who dared not approach from afar.
This is……
What's going on?
So, it was the Emperor who wanted to kill the General's son and the General's daughter?
