My face flushed red instantly: "Put the umbrella down right now!"
"What are you afraid of? We haven't done anything shameful!"
"But……"
I stopped talking and let him shield me from the umbrella.
Seeing this, he suddenly asked, "Does holding an umbrella bother you?"
I shook my head and said, "It shields me from the scorching sun and brings a touch of coolness, allowing me to look up and gaze into the distance!"
"If that's your opinion, why care about what others think!"
His words immediately enlightened me, and I smiled with lowered eyes, saying, "Thank you, Shaoqing!"
"The Prince of Anyang, he..."
"Let's not talk about him!" I interrupted Yu Shaoqing before he could finish speaking.
Murong Kui looked at herself in the mirror, feeling extremely satisfied.
Lingxin styled her hair and said happily, "Miss, you are getting more and more beautiful. The Prince will be delighted to see you!"
Murong Kui's eyebrows curved into a smile, much like the bright moon in the sky.
"You're so sweet-talking!"
Lingxin changed the subject and asked, "Miss, when do you plan to return to the Prince's Mansion? Everyone thinks you're dead, but little do they know it was an imposter who died!"
Murong Kui thought for a moment, then a wicked smile appeared on her lips. "Don't worry, the best is yet to come!"
Lingxin was embarrassed by what she said, and she believed her unconditionally.

"What's wrong?"
"Sixth Brother must not know that I have come to his residence!"
Ling Shuang was completely confused by his words: "Then why did you summon me here today?"
"I searched every street and alley in Lingqi, but I didn't find any corpses. This is the only place I haven't searched!"
Ling Shuang was startled by his bold guess: "Here? How is that possible?"
The two, their faces grim, chattered incessantly, completely oblivious to the people behind the artificial hill.
Ye Lisheng's face was ashen, as if he were about to devour them whole.
A chill ran through Ling Ran, and she tightened her clothes.
"What should Your Highness do next?"
"Find them! Even if we have to turn Lingqi upside down, we have to find them!"
"Yes!" he said, and then disappeared in a flash.
Ye Lisheng gripped the medicine bottle in his hand, a wicked smile curving his lips.
"Cat chasing mouse, let's see where you can run?"
He found the medicine bottle at Yuzhu Pavilion; a gut feeling told him the person wasn't dead.
He gripped the medicine bottle tightly, looked up into the distance, and saw a kite break free and soar into the sky.
