Yuwen Yao held Xie Lingqin's hand tightly, drawing circles in her palm. His voice suddenly became husky and ambiguous, "Hmm, I was thinking that I should practice this move in the future."
Xie Lingqin...
"Yuwen Yao, you are too much..."
That's so lewd!
"What's wrong?"
Yuwen Yao looked at her innocently instead, "Wouldn't it be better to stand on my shoulders and look at the stars?"
Well……
Yes, is that what you mean?
"Okay, okay, it's alright. What about Zihe?"
"Purple River..."
...
Xie Lingqin brought Ning Yi back to the General's Mansion.
That night, things happened one after another. Xie Lingqin knew that no matter what General Xie was like, Ningyi was his biological son, and he would definitely protect him. In the current situation, handing Ningyi over to him was actually a good thing.
"Sister, I don't want to."
"want."
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and patted Ning Yi's head. "Listen to me, he can protect you, but..." Xie Lingqin's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject. "Next time, if that person you can't talk about appears, be sure to tell me."
Ning Yi stared blankly, seemingly engaged in a battle of wits.
"It's alright."
Who knows, maybe he'll show up on his own next time.
What she cares about now is whose daughter she is.
If she were Xie Lingyu from back then...
Or perhaps, she has some connection with Yun Yishang...
Listening to the drumbeats outside, Xie Lingqin's heart pounded with every beat.
...
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Xie Lingqin did not go to sleep, but waited for Minglan's arrival. Afterwards, she went into the palace with him.
Under the dim light of the night, they slipped into the palace silently, until they reached the cold palace where the Fifth Princess's body lay.
"Miss, there isn't a single guard around. Could this be a trap?"
"Won't."
Xie Lingqin looked at Ming Lan with absolute certainty, "Given the Emperor's cold-heartedness, since the Fifth Princess is already dead, and died so meaninglessly, it's already good enough that he thought of finding her a good burial."
Minglan nodded, clearly agreeing with the cold-heartedness of the Emperor of Beirong.
The two entered the main hall, which was covered with cobwebs, without making a sound.
Inside the red lacquered wooden coffin, the Fifth Princess lay covered in blood, every cell in her face revealing her resentment.
If I die like this, my spirit will never rest in peace.
"Let's begin."
Xie Lingqin suddenly said softly.
Behind her, Minglan cautiously looked around, then stepped forward, clasped her hands together, and focused her energy in her palms. After a moment, she slapped her palms down on the brow bone of the Fifth Princess in the coffin, stopping when she was an inch away from the First Princess's forehead. After a moment, a light breath seemed to emerge from her palms.
Suddenly, the Fifth Princess, Yuwen Qingyue, who had been dead, opened her eyes. In that instant, her bright and playful eyes, which always concealed a sharp edge, were filled with coldness.
"Why did you wake me up?"
The Fifth Princess rolled her eyes, her gaze finally settling on Xie Lingqin.
A smile appeared on Xie Lingqin's face, but it didn't reach her eyes. Her hands rested on the edge of the coffin, and her gaze was distant and empty.
"My only purpose is to wake you up."
"How can I see my father, whom I trust and obey, treat me like this?"
Xie Lingqin looked at her, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Minglan is a member of the Xue family. Although he left when he was young, he knows the Xue family's unique breathing technique.
It can stop a person from breathing, making them feel as if they are dead, but their senses will remain sharp and clear, allowing them to clearly know what is happening around them and what is being said.
"Yes, knowing full well that you are the real Fifth Princess, they still insist that you are not."
Xie Lingqin pulled herself together and spoke each word clearly and directly, without mincing words.
The Fifth Princess's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and a cold light flashed in them. "He, my father, was just weighing the pros and cons. Now that I am dead, he can no longer destroy Li Qingyu. He is an emperor, so of course he has to have a long-term vision and consider the overall situation."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin chuckled lightly, "Yes, that's certainly far-sighted. I won't disturb your self-deception any longer. I'm leaving."
Xie Lingqin withdrew her hand, making a move to leave, but then, remembering something, she turned back and looked at the Fifth Princess, who had struggled to sit up from the coffin. "If you really want to die here, that's fine too, but remember, die gracefully."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that Yang Guifei once used the same breathing technique. However, strangely enough, her coffin was sealed shut back then, so she still died after waking up naturally."
The Fifth Princess frowned, seemingly not quite understanding.
Xie Lingqin, however, remained calm and composed, a faint coolness on her lips, "I just want to say that all history in this world is not as beautiful as it appears on the surface."
The Fifth Princess immediately understood.
Xie Lingqin meant that if she were to die like this, it was possible that history would erase her existence.
Xie Lingqin's words were veiled and cruel, but she saw through them. At this moment, she once again realized that although she was a princess in the royal family, she had never been happy.
She wanted to refute Xie Lingqin, but her words were so weak and powerless.
Yuwen Qingyue watched Xie Lingqin's figure gradually disappear into the dim light of the twilight, her beautiful eyes cold and her whole body chilled.
"Miss, shouldn't we tell the Crown Prince about this?"
Once outside the palace, Minglan asked softly.
Xie Lingqin waved her hand, "After all, we are related by blood. It's best not to say anything."
"yes."
"You may leave now. Last night's incident exposed quite a bit of our weaknesses. Tell your men to be even more careful in the future."
"Understood."
As soon as Minglan finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot in the next instant.
The sky was already bright, and a ray of morning light shone down, but it still couldn't dispel the chill on my body.
Autumn has finally passed, and winter has arrived.
The Fifth Princess did not die.
This is Xie Lingqin's true method of revenge.
play off.
Yes, a flawless provocation is far more satisfying than stabbing the emperor in the back yourself.

It's getting late today, muah~
