Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, Xie Lingqin's pupils contracted, and she suddenly locked her gaze on the Crown Prince.
"With my help, we can tie down the Prince Xian's forces, hmm?" the Crown Prince added.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's eyes flashed with murderous intent. The Crown Prince had actually guessed that there was no one in the slop bucket, and yet he was still cooperating so well.
Xie Lingqin's hands had already begun to slip into her sleeves...
"Uh..." The next moment, Xie Lingqin felt a sudden pain in her arm, and the dagger she had just grabbed fell to the ground. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and fell backward.
“Hey…” A hurried shout came from outside the carriage.
It was white jade.
However, it was clear that Bai Yu was being held back, as there were sounds of fighting outside.
They clashed with Tingfeng, who had appeared.
Inside the carriage, Xie Lingqin's hands were restrained. She immediately kicked out at the Crown Prince's abdomen, but the Crown Prince's bent leg moved slightly and pinned her left leg down.
At such close range, the remaining leg was completely useless.
Xie Lingqin's chest heaved, utterly defeated, as she stared intently at the Crown Prince.
"You're quite skilled," the prince praised her.
He praised her with a disdainful look in his eyes.
Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth. The distance was too close; she could smell the faint pear fragrance emanating from the Crown Prince.
It smells good, yet it's inexplicably alluring.
"Trying to silence me?" The Crown Prince leaned forward slightly, his breath almost spraying onto Xie Lingqin's face.
"Yes."
Since things had come to this, Xie Lingqin simply admitted it.
"That's straightforward, but..." The Crown Prince narrowed his phoenix eyes, his thick eyelashes shimmering with a glint of light, and a faint smile seemed to flicker across his lips. "However, you are still too green."
"Then why did you help me?" Xie Lingqin frowned.
"What I'm telling you is that no trick you pull will escape my notice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Crown Prince raised his sleeve.
The carriage curtains were drawn.
"Bang."
Xie Lingqin was thrown off the carriage, along with her dagger, and fell to the ground, getting covered in dust.
---Aside---
Some girls might think the romance between the male and female leads develops a bit too slowly, but that's because there needs to be buildup. Just rushing into pure romance would be too rushed, wouldn't it?
