That's a lot...
Not a member of Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
Xie Lingqin waved her hand, making it clear that she didn't deserve to be close to anyone.
The man's probing gaze fell on Xie Lingqin again, and after a moment, he gently waved his hand in the air.
Xie Lingqin immediately felt relieved.
Just now, it was the man inside who secretly let her in. As soon as she entered the carriage, the man used his internal energy to restrain all her movements. Naturally, the coachman outside did not hear a word of her conversation with him.
He also didn't know that she wasn't the only one inside.
"You're quite an interesting lady. Thank you for giving me a ride tonight. I owe you a favor. If we meet again someday and you ever have any trouble, I will definitely help you."
The man vanished in the next instant.
The deep autumn wind lifted a corner of the curtain, and Xie Lingqin's gaze was fixed on the spot where the person had just been sitting.
There, something was left behind.
...
Meanwhile.
The residence of the Wise Prince.
Yuwen Xian stood in the courtyard, looking at the person kneeling in front of him, his face dark. "Useless idiot, you can't even do such a simple thing right."
"Your Highness, I have already asked the Prefect of the Capital to investigate the arson case tonight, but there is still no trace of him. Could it be that the person has simply vanished into thin air in this capital city?"
“You couldn’t even defeat him when he came alone. If he returns to Western Xia, you will be even less able to do anything to him.” Yuwen Xian’s usually gentle face was now filled with anger. After a moment, he flicked his sleeve and sat down coldly. “A token is a small matter. The important thing is to win this person over.”
"Your Highness, isn't that man just an unfavored prince? Why do you value him so much?"
Beside him, the Azure Wing Guard appeared and stepped forward, clearly also extremely puzzled.
Yuwen Xian glanced at him. "No matter how unfavored he is, he is still the heir apparent. Moreover, he has no backing, yet he has managed to survive to this day. He must have some ability. It would be best to win over someone like that." As Yuwen Xian spoke, he waved his hand with a hint of annoyance. "Forget it. Anyway, I didn't get this person, and neither did the crown prince. We're even."
"Yes, Your Highness. Consort Lan sent word that you haven't been to the palace for several days, and you still haven't given the Emperor an explanation for what happened with the Second Miss of the General's Mansion. She wants you to choose a day to go to the palace, and you must not disobey the Emperor's wishes."
Yuwen Xian nodded, "I understand." Just as he was about to turn around, he seemed to remember something and turned back to look at Qingyi, "You said before that the young master of the General's Mansion was poisoned tonight and almost died. Was it Xie Lingqin who volunteered to invite Elder Dong?"
"Your Highness, that's right. I've investigated and there's nothing wrong."
"Hmm." Yuwen Xian stroked his chin. He hadn't seen Xie Lingqin for the past few days, but her image kept appearing in his mind.
She was clearly a useless woman, yet something always felt off about her.
I must find an opportunity another day to test her properly and see if she is playing hard to get or if she is truly indifferent to him.
After all, she holds such a big secret; it would be best if she harbored romantic feelings for him.
He had initially been puzzled when his subordinates reported that the Crown Prince had actually sent Xie Lingqin back to his residence, but after thinking about it, he understood.
The Crown Prince is indeed the Crown Prince; perhaps he is also interested in the secret Xie Lingqin possesses.
"Yes, keep a close eye on the General's residence these next few days. You may leave now."
"yes."
...
The Crown Prince's residence.
The study was brightly lit.
Tingfeng poured the Crown Prince a cup of tea, glanced at the night sky, and then whispered a reminder, "Your Highness, it's getting late."
"That person left the city?"
"Yes, by using Miss Lingqin's carriage, we avoided the sight of the Prefect of the Capital. I bet the Prince Xian never dreamed of this."
"It's not that he couldn't think of it, it's just that he only had dirty thoughts."
Yuwen Yao paused in his book-turning motion, his gaze turning to the window with a deep, thoughtful expression.
Tingfeng thought for a moment, swallowed hard, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, there is something I don't understand."
"explain."
"Why would you give such a good opportunity to Miss Lingqin? Although the Prince of Xixia secretly came to Beirong and took the Prince Xian's token, if you had helped him, he would have been grateful to you. But right now..."
The Crown Prince glanced at Tingfeng, his eyes flashing, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"Don't you think it's interesting?"
"interesting?"
Tingfeng was puzzled.
Has his intelligence declined?
Let's ask Tingyu and Tinghai.
...
At this moment, the carriage finally returned to the general's mansion.
The night was deep and still, a thin mist rose in the air, and a chill ran through the bones.
Xie Lingqin returned to Qingshui Pavilion.
But he was clutching the token tightly in his hand.
That was a token belonging to the Prince Xian's Mansion, which allowed him to mobilize the Prince Xian's private army.
She didn't know whether the man had deliberately left behind the body or what the reason was.
In short, she was somewhat excited.
This token can be considered Yuwen Xian's protective charm.
Learning by analogy, Xie Lingqin quickly realized that the investigation mentioned by the Prefect of the Capital must be a secret order from the Prince of Xian to find this thing.
That means that the wise king knew the item was missing and would have taken precautions, but there will always be moments of carelessness.
In short, having this token is not a bad thing.
Zihe got up in the middle of the night and saw Xie Lingqin return. He wanted to go up and ask her a few words of concern, but when he saw the moonlight shining down and the young lady looking excited, he couldn't help but swallow.
Miss, where have you gotten the better deal again?
"Miss, which family is having bad luck again?" Zihe asked as she stepped forward.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and gently tapped Zihe's head. "Everyone."
