Yuwen Yao glanced at him with extremely cold eyes, "Did I agree?"
you……
Of course you didn't agree.
But……
Yu Qingyi scratched his head. So, after being swindled out of 100 taels, he was cheated again.
He was still tricked by Xie Lingqin, the young lady of the General's Mansion, whom he had never heard of before.
"But, you taciturn fellow, why did you give her the dagger that Sengyun gave you? That's... Alright, then why are you being so nice to her? Could it be that you've finally fallen for the secret she has?"
Yuwen Yao's gaze suddenly swept into the distance, deep and far, cold and sinister, as if he looked down on the world and held everything in his hands.
Yu Qingyi's pupils contracted involuntarily as he heard Yuwen Yao's extremely icy voice.
"Compared to the secrets she possesses, don't you think she's more useful?"
Yu Qingyi's body trembled as he caught the light in Yuwen Yao's eyes and instantly understood.
Just now, with Xie Lingqin's swift and decisive killing method without a single unnecessary movement, let alone a young lady, even Tingfeng, Tingyu, and Tinghai, could do it without using internal energy and lightness skills?
Moreover, the method was actually too ruthless, so ruthless that it was somewhat frightening.
Of course, what Yu Qingyi cared about more was that he originally thought that Yuwen Yao had ulterior motives for helping Xie Lingqin before, but now, judging from his tone and eyes...
It's true, he just wanted to use Xie Lingqin.
But isn't Yuwen Yao always like this? Sigh!
“However…” Yu Qingyi continued, “Why do you think this eldest daughter of the General’s Mansion is so different from what was rumored? We haven’t been able to find anything about her all this time. Is it really because she’s been hiding it well, or…” Yu Qingyi’s tone deepened, “or… she…”
"It's normal for a person to change after experiencing life and death," Yuwen Yao said casually, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Your Highness, the body has been disposed of." At this moment, the guard who had just been instructed by Yu Qingyi to dispose of the body came forward to report, seemingly having something else to say.
Yu Qingyi waved his hand graciously, "Go ahead and speak."
"Your Highness, it's quite astonishing that this one strike ended three lives."
“Hmm, I’m quite speechless too.” Yu Qingyi tapped his brow. “Let’s go back to the Prince’s Mansion.”
"By the way, Your Highness, today the Princess brought over a dozen paintings to the study, saying... that you should choose one as soon as possible." The guard's voice also lowered as Yu Qingyi's gaze darkened.
"Didn't I tell my mother that she understood?"
"It seems that the Crown Prince said something yesterday, saying that the Heir Apparent has been particularly...idle lately."
"Ah... is this taciturn guy really my friend?"
In the vast天地 (heaven and earth), Yuwen Yao swept past the eaves of tall buildings like the wind, but a beam of light flickered in his eyes.
Xie Lingqin, I want to see just how much value you have.
...
Lingqin, of course, had no idea what was happening behind her.
Back at Qingshui Pavilion, Zihe saw that Xie Lingqin's face was deathly pale, and upon closer inspection, there was a trace of blood on her sleeve. She hurried forward and asked, "Miss, has something happened?"
"It's nothing, I just happened to run into a few bad guys when the poison took effect," Xie Lingqin said casually.
Zihe's expression tightened, "Then the other party..."
"Don't worry, even though I killed him, I ran into Prince Yi, who helped me deal with it."
“Uh…” Xie Lingqin didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said, but Zihe was shocked and surprised.
Is it resolved?
Didn't Prince Yi help resolve it?
Zihe had already learned from Xie Lingqin that Xie Lingqin had been poisoned.
Even if she didn't say anything, after all this time, she could guess that he had been secretly brewing medicine for Xie Lingqin.
“Well, speaking of which, there’s also your former master.” Xie Lingqin hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"The Crown Prince is here too? Then..."
"It seems like he's going to keep me as a mistress."
"I'll take care of you... I'll support you." Even the most reserved and composed person like Zihe couldn't help but stammer in surprise.
The term "sugar baby" was so direct, so she understood instantly.
"Miss, are you sure you've encountered the Crown Prince?" Zihe was utterly incredulous.
"Don't look at me with that suspicious look. I seriously suspect your former master was a pervert again." Although Xie Lingqin's tone was as usual, Zihe could not help but hear the dissatisfaction in Xie Lingqin's voice.
"Uh, that..."
They had never truly understood the Crown Prince, so...
Xie Lingqin prayed in her heart that the Crown Prince would not know about her plan to open a shop.
Of course, if she knew, she would be grateful if the prince didn't cause any trouble; otherwise, she wouldn't mind actually sneaking into the prince's residence and taking a gamble to eliminate him.
...
It was late at night, and everyone was quiet.
Yunting Courtyard.
Xie Lingyu dismissed all the maids, then got up from the bed and, by the dim moonlight in the room, stood in front of the carved prism mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her delicate face and radiant skin seemed the same as before, yet everything seemed even more beautiful than before.
But only she knew the truth about her face...
The next instant, Xie Lingyu's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and his face twisted into a ferocious expression.
It's okay, everything will be alright, as long as we find a suitable human skin...
Xie Lingqin's face seems to suit it very well.
...
In her sleep, Xie Lingqin had that heart-wrenching dream again, but she still couldn't see people's faces clearly.
When I woke up the next day, my forehead was covered in cold sweat.
When you touch it, the bedding is damp, which shows how restless she slept that night.
