"The Fifth Princess"...
"In that case, Prince Yi, I thank you for your kindness. I will go to the palace with the Fifth Princess first."
Yan She, in a few words, indicated that he would accept the Fifth Princess's initiative.
Yu Qingyi hesitated for a long time before finally letting go with a worried look on her face. "Okay, be careful."
"Your Highness, rest assured."
The two actors' performance in this scene was truly exceptional.
Not far away, Xie Lingqin was thinking about whether she should consider awarding the two of them an Oscar for Best Actor.
Thus, Minglan, disguised as Yanshe, followed the Fifth Princess into the palace with a mix of humility and shame after her declaration of love.
"Yan She, let me help you up."
Upon entering the palace gates, the Fifth Princess made a gesture to help him up, but Yan She refused.
"Fifth Princess, you are of noble birth, and there is a difference between men and women. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Just now at the city gate, in front of so many people, they didn't talk about the difference between men and women, but now that they're inside the palace, they're acting so distant.
The Fifth Princess was feeling uneasy.
It felt like I'd used all my strength to try and end up with nothing but a clump of cotton.
After entering the palace, the emperor personally issued an edict to find a palace for Yan She to live in.
However, the palace gates were heavily guarded.
However, as darkness fell, someone still silently entered the hall.
"Miss."
Minglan immediately stepped forward and said, "Since I entered the palace, the Emperor has not come to see me, and the Fifth Princess has not appeared again."
Xie Lingqin nodded, "The Emperor is a man of many thoughts and is bound to be suspicious. He's probably just trying to put you out there and see who gets anxious first."
"I think so too, Miss. However, I think this Fifth Princess is quite skilled in martial arts. She was provoked by us during the day, but she is not a fool."
“I know.” Xie Lingqin smiled, a cold glint in his eyes. Then, he looked at Yuwen Yao beside him. “Do you know who this person is impersonating?”
"They should be from the Thunder Guard. Since Li Qingyu is the deputy commander of the Thunder Guard, her subordinates will not only be men, but also a group of women. It is said that there are not many of them, but each of them is not simple. They are good at disguise, imitation, and poisoning."
Xie Lingqin nodded, not surprised at all. "I thought so too. It's clear that His Majesty is truly sincere. When the Fifth Princess appeared today, I was thinking that he wanted to throw those of us who had captured the Fifth Princess into disarray. However, he made a mistake and didn't know that I am Yan She."
After giving Minglan a few careful instructions, Xie Lingqin left with Yuwen Yao.
Back at the General's Mansion, she silently entered the Clear Water Pavilion. Yuwen Yao stood there for a long time, staring intently at Xie Lingqin. After a long while, he finally said, "You... have you really made up your mind?"
Xie Lingqin nodded, "Absolutely, Yuwen Yao, I've endured this for far too long."
"good."
Yuwen Yao didn't hesitate; to her, he always only had one word: "good."
"Such insults and provocations, I think, even the Emperor could not bear."
Xie Lingqin looked up at Yuwen Yao and sighed softly, "You don't need to get involved in this matter."
"If Scholar Ning knew in the afterlife, he would have no regrets for avenging him in this way."
“I would die without regrets…” Xie Lingqin shook her head, somewhat dejected. “Yuwen Yao, if one could live, who would want to die?”
Who would willingly choose to die if they could live?
yes.
Yuwen Yao remained silent, looking at Xie Lingqin. Seeing her resolute yet aloof face, he felt a pang of inexplicable heartache.
This is the woman he loves, yet danger lurks at every turn, and he cannot relax for even a moment.
"Qin'er, after this incident, please listen to my arrangements."
A moment later, Yuwen Yao lowered his head slightly, his elegant breath brushing against Xie Lingqin's ear.
"good."
Without curiosity, without rejection, without questioning, she always spoke to him with gentle eyes and a soft tone.
She always had only one word for him: "good".
"I'll listen to you."
Xie Lingqin said, gently raising her hand to smooth his brows, "Yuwen Yao, you don't need to worry. My plan is well-thought-out and there will be no flaws. Even if there are, it will only make the Emperor suspect that I did it. However, he has no evidence. Besides, didn't you say that you would listen to me from now on and that you would protect me?"
"This is necessary."
This was his promise.
Xie Lingqin smiled and hugged Yuwen Yao. "Don't blame yourself or feel guilty. It's because I didn't want you to take action. After all, he is your father. I can deal with him, but you can't. You can have the blood of anyone in the world on your hands, but you can't have his. Otherwise, you will be criticized by the world, and that's the last thing I want to see."
"Qin'er..."
Yuwen Yao turned around and pulled Xie Lingqin into his arms. "I only wish for your safety."
Xie Lingqin tiptoed and kissed Yuwen Yao on the lips. "It's getting late, you should go now."
...
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study.
The Fifth Princess knelt below, saying, "I had no choice but to do this at the time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"However, even though you did that, and Yan She was brought into the palace, there is still no news or movement about the Fifth Princess."
"Your Majesty, my subordinate and Miss Li secretly arranged for many people to be present, but there was nothing unusual in the crowd." The person impersonating the Fifth Princess lowered their head further and further. "Your Majesty, could it be that the Fifth Princess has already..."
"presumptuous."
The emperor roared, and the man immediately shut his mouth.
“That is my princess. Her life force has not yet been exhausted. How could she die?”
Upon hearing this, the visitor suddenly understood.
Yes, every member of the royal family has a life lamp placed in the royal shrine, which is lit at birth.
When the emperor was enraged, the entire imperial study fell into a deathly silence.
