The guards scattered and pursued relentlessly.
Yuwen Xian stood there, looking at Qingyi behind him. His gentle expression turned serious. "Bring me that cloak on the ground."
"Your Highness, be careful, it might be a trap," Qingyi warned.
Yuwen Xian waved his hand, "I refuse to believe that I can be outmaneuvered right here at the foot of the capital."
"Your Highness, what if it's the Crown Prince..."
"The autumn examination ended yesterday, and the top three have been determined. Father Emperor has dumped a bunch of miscellaneous tasks on him, but he doesn't have the time for them."
"Yes." Qingyi said, then stepped forward and used his sword to lift the cloak, but his expression froze.
Because five large characters were clearly written on the cloak.
Yuwen Xian is an idiot... X.
A dark ink-colored cloak, bright red words, the handwriting crooked and uneven, yet clearly visible under the moonlight.
Although no one understands what "X" means, what good words can be associated with the word "stupid"?
Qingyi's face turned ugly. He immediately threw off his cloak and, seeing Yuwen Xian's suddenly ashen face, immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I will definitely send someone to capture him."
"This person is the same kid who threatened me with Xie Lingyu that night and injured me." Yuwen Xian's aura turned cold, his fingers clenched, and his lips curled into a sinister smile. "They are the same person."
"Your Highness..."
"That sarcastic tone..."
"yes."
This response was even more powerful than before.
Meanwhile, not far away, beneath a tall building...
Xie Lingqin's breath was sharp and cold.
This Yuwen Xian is no fool; he actually realized that she was the one who slashed Xie Lingyu's face that night, threatened him with Xie Lingyu, and even injured him.
However, no matter how clever she was, she could never have guessed that the man he spoke of was actually Xie Lingqin.
Of course, on the other hand...
"Ahem." Xie Lingqin coughed lightly, her smile brighter than ever before. "Just now, thank you for saving me, Your Highness. Your Highness is indeed benevolent and righteous, a model for the world. I, Lingqin, will remember this."
That's right, she didn't have such skill to slip away without leaving a trace right under Yuwen Xian's nose.
She had originally planned to use the cloak as cover to stab Yuwen Xian and then slip away in the chaos, but before she could even draw her dagger, the Crown Prince grabbed her and dragged her away.
The Crown Prince exuded a cold and alluring aura. Under the moonlight, his dark eyes were fixed on Xie Lingqin without blinking. When Xie Lingqin's smile was almost frozen, he spoke, "Could this smile be any more fake?"
Well……
Xie Lingqin's smile froze completely. She straightened her sleeves and said, "Then, Your Highness, I shall take my leave."
I still need to deal with my period.
The Crown Prince, however, grabbed Xie Lingqin's sleeve.
Xie Lingqin stopped in her tracks, frowning as she looked at the Crown Prince, unable to understand what was wrong with him.
The Crown Prince simply gazed at Xie Lingqin, his dark eyes deep and captivating, his beauty serene and gentle. He remained silent, his sleeves woven with gold thread fluttering in the wind, exuding a delicate fragrance. His wrist, lean and muscular, seemed to radiate a certain quiet strength.
Xie Lingqin couldn't figure out what the Crown Prince was thinking, but she didn't want to really anger him.
After all, she couldn't beat him, especially at this time.
But the Crown Prince has been staring at her for almost the time it takes to drink two cups of tea. Is it really alright?
His gaze was so deep, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, or as if he was extremely conflicted.
No, the Crown Prince shouldn't have such emotions. What kind of evil scheme is he plotting?
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, her heart tightening, and cautiously probed, "Your Highness, do you like this dress?"
Her period is about to start bleeding uncontrollably, okay? Just let it go already.
Yuwen Yao still didn't answer, but instead tightened his grip on Xie Lingqin's sleeve.
Xie Lingqin...
"Your Highness, could it be that you've fallen in love with me and can't bear to part with me?"
Sure enough, as soon as Xie Lingqin finished speaking, the Crown Prince immediately let go.
Xie Lingqin immediately retreated, her body flashing as she leaped down the tall building, disappearing into the distance under the moonlight.
These words were indeed effective, but Xie Lingqin was still not happy to be disliked like this.
...
Yuwen Yao was still standing on that tall building, his hand still frozen in mid-air, his eyes like the deep sea, unfathomable and mysterious.
After a long while, Tingfeng finally appeared, his entire being exuding caution and vigilance.
It was simply because Tingfeng was too shocked.
Having served the Crown Prince for so long, he had never seen the Crown Prince with such a bewildered expression.
"Your Highness, Miss Lingqin has already gone far away," Tingfeng whispered a reminder.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince hesitated for a long while before slowly lowering his hand, looking at Tingfeng with a deep gaze, "Where are Tinghai and Tingyu?"
"Your Highness, Tinghai lost a fight to Prince Yi and is reflecting on his actions. He says he will intensify his training and strive to bring glory to Your Highness as soon as possible."
"Yes, let him fight Tingyu again, so he can bring even more glory."
The crown prince gave a casual order, and the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.
Tingfeng stood there, looking somewhat disheveled.
Tinghai's chubby head suddenly popped out, looking at the direction where the prince had disappeared with a mournful expression, "Aww, what did I do wrong?"
"Then what did I do wrong again?" Tingyu was also full of resentment. She appeared in a black dress, her red lips tightly bitten. When she looked at Tinghai again, a gust of wind suddenly rose from her fist.
It took Tingfeng a long time to come to his senses. Looking at the two fighting fiercely, his lips twitched.
Didn't these two notice something on the Crown Prince's sleeve just now...?
As her thoughts drifted halfway through, she was startled again, for she saw a familiar figure in the alley below.
"It's a purple river."
With a spark of interest, Tingyu was the first to rush over.
Tinghai was fighting back fiercely when he suddenly realized that no one was in front of him. His round face twitched, and he and Tingfeng went to look for him.
