Xie Lingqin coughed, feeling depressed and stifled.
Yuwen Yao, why don't you just fly to the heavens?
"Hey, you brat." Bai Yu, seeing this, immediately stopped and jumped over. Just as he was about to help Xie Lingqin, he heard a voice coming from inside the carriage.
"Nothing happened tonight." Though the tone was calm, it carried an overwhelming sense of power.
Then, in a flash, the servant boy disappeared again, and drove the carriage towards the city gate.
By the time Bai Yu went to help Xie Lingqin up again, Xie Lingqin had already stood up, baring her teeth and patting the dirt off her body.
"Hey kid, are you alright?"
"My name is Yan She, not that kid." Xie Lingqin obviously had something to say; her butt hurt a lot.
She felt no gratitude whatsoever towards the crown prince.
Fuck your damned prince.
"Judging from what the Crown Prince just said, it seems that he is no longer going against us. However, he was the one who used the imperial edict to massacre the Marquis of Anping's mansion today. Why is he helping us now?"
Bai Yu looked in the direction the Crown Prince had left, and after a moment, before Xie Lingqin could answer, she looked at her again, her spirits lifting, "Wow, heavens, the Crown Prince was actually in that carriage! You actually kidnapped him! Oh no, you're still alive! Ah..."
A cry of pain.
Bai Yu suddenly winced and slapped her head, "What are you doing?"
“Talkative, repulsive, and slow to react, he deserves to be beaten,” Xie Lingqin said coldly, her brows furrowed.
Seeing that Xie Lingqin was in real pain, Bai Yu immediately composed himself and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your help."
"They're gone?"
"But why are you helping?" Bai Yu didn't answer, but stared intently at Xie Lingqin.
Earlier, just as the swill bucket was about to leave the courtyard, she stood there and stopped him.
He was on guard and almost made a move, but then she said, "This trip is not safe." Then she revealed what could be called a diversionary tactic.
However, unexpectedly, she hijacked the Crown Prince's carriage.
That kid's got some nerve.
"I know Miss Xie, and she asked me to help her." After a long pause, Xie Lingqin said seriously.
"Miss Xie?" Bai Yu nodded. "Oh, I know her. She's the one who helped us keep an eye on things during the day. Miss An mentioned her before and asked me to find out about her so as not to implicate her. Isn't she supposed to be the laughingstock of the capital? Does she even have friends?" Bai Yu asked curiously.
Xie Lingqin punched him again.
The punch landed squarely on Bai Yu's delicate nose.
"Damn it, you little brat..." Bai Yu immediately flew into a rage, looked at Xie Lingqin, and after a moment, he understood, "Alright, I get it, you have a crush on her, right?"
Xie Lingqin...
Speechless.
"Yes, it's the same kind of unrequited love you have for Nie Zuier." Xie Lingqin turned and left.
"You helped me, but you didn't even ask where they went?" Bai Yu asked from behind.
Xie Lingqin didn't turn her head. "If you want to say it, you will."
"Well, since you helped me, I'll tell you. They've successfully left the city from the other side following the route you suggested. I've already arranged for people to meet them there, so they'll be fine."
"It has nothing to do with me."
"Unrelated? But you do have some skill, knowing another route out of the city, although it involves going through a tunnel..."
"Are you coming or not? I'm counting on your lightness skills to get me into the city silently. If two people can't do it, I can manage on my own."
Bai Yu felt looked down upon and was quite annoyed. "One or three is fine with me, but tonight's situation is special, so I dare not act rashly."
Xie Lingqin couldn't be bothered to listen to his explanation.
She's feeling a bit annoyed right now.
Yes, she did rescue An Shangning and An Shangyu and get them out of the city safely, but the Crown Prince saw through it all.
He even threatened her and threw her.
The two were walking when they suddenly stopped at the same time.
Because there were sounds of fighting ahead.
Pushing aside the bushes, they saw that it was the very carriage that had belonged to the Crown Prince earlier.
The crown prince was lounging lazily in his carriage, surrounded by dozens of men in black, their killing intent palpable. Yet, he was fighting against only one person.
It was precisely this that had restrained Bai Yu's Listening Wind.
“Someone is trying to assassinate the Crown Prince,” Bai Yu said with certainty.
"It must be someone from the Wise King's faction," Xie Lingqin whispered.
Bai Yu looked at her and said, "Leaving aside the world, there are many who covet the position of Crown Prince in the capital. How can you be sure it will be Prince Xian? I heard that Prince Xian is currently favored by the Emperor."
The implication is that it's unnecessary.
Xie Lingqin glanced at him indifferently, "If you can't even guess who it is, then it must be him."
"..." A look of doubt appeared on Bai Yu's jade-like face.
What does that mean?
Simple-minded but physically strong.
Xie Lingqin was too lazy to talk, so she tugged at Bai Yu's sleeve and said, "Let's go. I think the Crown Prince can just sit there and enjoy the scenery by himself. He only has to send one subordinate to fight. He won't die."
It's none of her business if she dies.
It would be better if he were dead.
Bai Yu was quite easygoing; clearly unwilling to step forward and help, she nodded in agreement, "I think so too."
So the two of them left feeling at ease.
dark place.
A cacophony of sounds rose and fell.
"That Miss Xie is truly heartless. My Crown Prince helped her and saved her!" came the woman's voice, tinged with resentment.
"Listen to Xiaoxiao, you don't understand, this is called cool." Another playful voice rang out.
As soon as he finished speaking, the chubby, fair-skinned man immediately joined the fight.
And their master.
Crown Prince Yuwen Yao continued to gaze ahead, his face as white as jade and his hair as black as ink, seemingly admiring the moonlight, or perhaps deep in thought.
He remained unmoved despite the flashing swords behind him.
No one knew what he was thinking.
...
Bai Yu, however, was still quite gossipy.
"I say, Yan She, since you know Miss Xie, are you aware that the Prince Xian divorced her?"
That's really bringing up the very thing you shouldn't be talking about.
Xie Lingqin remained expressionless, saying calmly, "Make it clearer."
"Since she has a friend like you, hasn't she ever thought about seeking revenge?" Bai Yu asked, resting her chin on her hand.
He simply didn't think that Yan She was a kind person.
Xie Lingqin looked at him.
Of course she was unwilling, very unwilling, and she would make up for every bit of the pain that Yuwen Xian had inflicted on her.
But could she possibly defeat the wise king on her own?
Moreover, revenge sometimes requires thinking.
Success seems to be just around the corner.
However, when she met Bai Yu's questioning gaze, Xie Lingqin smiled and said, "Since you're so curious, why don't you go and ask her yourself?"
Bai Yu took it as a compliment and immediately waved her hand, "That would be too much. She is the woman you secretly admire. Such a good opportunity should naturally be left to you."
"Heh!" Xie Lingqin's voice was still quite magnetic when she pretended to be a man. She chuckled, "Thank you so much for your concern."
---Aside---
Who has a crush on whom?! So sad!
