After Yuwen Xian finished speaking, he suddenly chuckled softly.
That smile was playful and full of profound meaning.
Qingyi, being a man, suddenly understood.
At this very moment, in the Qingshui Pavilion of the General's Mansion.
Upon hearing from the messenger below that Yuwen Xian had indeed left and General Xie had returned to his courtyard, Xie Ling finally raised his hand to his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.
"I really want to kill this father of mine."
“Miss, please don’t be angry. I was just thinking that the Prince Xian must know how much you hate him, so why did he personally come to your door today to be scolded by you?”
Zihe seemed lost in thought, puzzled.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her but remained silent.
Tridacna stepped forward, her face serious. “Yes, Prince Xian is not a fool. He was outmaneuvered by you in the palace that time, but that was because you were a step ahead. Prince Xian underestimated you. He is shrewd and has many talents. He must have something to offer to gain the Emperor’s favor. So, this embarrassing situation he is having today is not like him.”
Zihe nodded in agreement, "Yes, if it were before, I could understand if Prince Xian wanted to reconcile with Miss. But now, it is common knowledge that Miss and the Crown Prince are in love. The Emperor is wary of you and will certainly not make you the Crown Princess. But since the Crown Prince likes you, he will oppose the Emperor. Isn't this exactly what Prince Xian wants? He should be happy to see it happen, or at least add to it. Why would he bother to provoke you again, Miss, and act like he is so good to you?"
"Um."
Xie Lingqin nodded, looking at the two of them with satisfaction. "Your analysis is quite good. There must be something fishy about this. Perhaps Yuwen Xian wants something from me."
Tridacna and Purple River exchanged a glance, unable to come up with anything.
Although one side favored the Crown Prince and the other favored Xu Yiran, they were united in their hatred of the young lady's safety and anyone who wanted to harm her.
"However, I need to go out first."
Xie Lingqin suddenly spoke, and before she finished speaking, she had already leaped out of the window.
...
Let's talk about the Ministry of Personnel.
With a sorrowful expression, Minister Li carefully collected Li Junru's mangled body, buried it, and then returned to his residence.
Li Qingyu woke up as soon as she returned to the manor. She had originally wanted to get some information out of Tingyu, but it turned out that the other party was also a very discreet person.
But how could she accept this? Before, the Emperor was clearly helping her, and he ordered the Crown Prince to send her here, but the Crown Prince openly refused.
This heartache needed an outlet, so it was directed towards the Holy Maiden.
The Holy Maiden cannot make mistakes; there must be something fishy about what happened today.
Li Qingyu immediately went to the palace to find the Holy Maiden. After learning from the Holy Maiden that there might have been some tampering in the dark, she secretly received an imperial order and began to search outwards from the direction of the Prefectural Governor's Office, searching one place after another.
If the Holy Maiden is like this, then the other party must be feeling terrible for making her so desperate. She should hurry, as the other party may not be far away yet.
As the disciple of an old man in his twilight years, Li Qingyu was naturally quite capable. At this moment, in addition to a group of skilled Thunder Guards by his side, he also had Qi Rufeng's assistance. Soon, the two headed towards the bamboo forest near the city outskirts.
Meanwhile, Xie Lingqin was searching everywhere in the bamboo forest.

My friend Gu Qingkuang's work, "The Female Doctor Takes Charge: Farming with a Cute Kid," is currently in a competition. Please add it to your favorites!
In a sudden twist of fate, she found herself transported into the body of a peasant girl from the poorest household in history.
Inside, there's a sickly little dumpling; outside, there are sharp-tongued and mean-spirited relatives.
Gu Qiuqiao admitted it.
So what if she's a little poor? She's a modern-day goddess doctor, how could she possibly starve to death?
They rolled up their sleeves, gathered herbs, went into business, and farmed. The poorest household became the richest, making their poor relatives extremely envious.
She said her husband was an idiot?
You're the stupid ones, your whole family is stupid?
They said her husband wasn't good enough for her?
Damn it, my little husband got angry, turned the peasant into a singer, and suddenly became the most amazing person in the world.
Everyone was dumbfounded; it turned out he was pretending to be weak while actually being strong!
