Anyway, Gao Zhenzhen has publicly admitted that she was the one who kidnapped her. Ling Xiang will never admit that she was the one who brought Nangong Yu and Xuanyuan Qi into the lotus pond. She will never admit it even if she is beaten to death:
"Your Highness, you know I only started practicing after that. Back then, I was so weak that I couldn't even tie a chicken. How could I possibly have gotten you into the lotus pond? No one would believe me if I told them!"
Xuanyuan Qi watched Ling Xiang's nonsense quietly, and waited until she finished before slowly saying, "You know medical skills, and you pressed the numb point on my hand."
Otherwise, with Ling Xiang's combat power at that time, even if Xuanyuan Qi could not expose his spiritual power, it would be impossible for Ling Xiang to succeed.
Ling Xiang was helpless: "I have an alibi, but, Your Majesty, if you insist on finding someone to take the blame, then it must be me..."
Xuanyuan Qi's mouth twitched, "Ling Xiang, I don't want to settle accounts with you."
Ling Xiang was puzzled: "Ah? What does the prince want to do?"
Xuanyuan Qi leaned closer to Ling Xiang and said, "I want to tell you that since the day of the flower viewing banquet, you have been a special person in my heart. And now, you are still special, so special that I want to look at you every day to see what special things you have done."
Although she had already guessed it, Ling Xiang still trembled in her heart when she heard Xuanyuan Qi say it.
The man's showy face was so close that his dragon beard had already touched her cheek.
This is a dangerous distance.
But she did not retreat, meeting Xuanyuan Qi's gaze, and said with a smile: "Alright, Your Highness, please look if you want to."
Xuanyuan Qi frowned slightly.
Why did he feel like he had accomplished something today, yet at the same time, he had accomplished nothing?
How could Ling Xiang react like this?
How is that possible?
"That's not what I meant."
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Ling Xiang protected herself with both hands and asked cautiously, "You're not planning to take me by force, are you?"
Xuanyuan Qi was displeased: "Am I that kind of person?"
"No!" Ling Xiang quickly denied it, but her eyes clearly told Xuanyuan Qi: Yes, that's right, it's you!
The girl in front of him was really good at making people angry. She was so smart, but she was unwilling to hide anything in front of him.
He had never liked a girl before, so he didn't know how to express his feelings and he really had no idea what to do with her.
Fortunately, at this time, the carriage stopped and the coachman knocked on the carriage, breaking the atmosphere in the carriage at the right time.
Xuanyuan Qi sat back in his seat and opened the restriction.
The driver reported: "Your Majesty, we are here."
The two of them visited Mr. Shao Deyi together.
Unexpectedly, Shao Deyi was not only knowledgeable, but also had a very good temper. He was very polite to Xuanyuan Qi and Ling Xiang, and he immediately agreed to Ling Xiang's invitation to invite him to be a teacher at the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion.
Ling Xiang just thought that the other party was so easy to talk to because of Xuanyuan Qi's face, and didn't think much about it.
After all, Xuanyuan Qi is well-known, and most people probably don't want to offend him.
On the way back, as soon as Ling Xiang got on the carriage, he immediately took out the medical book to read.
Xuanyuan Qi didn't say anything and remained silent all the way.
When the carriage stopped again, Ling Xiang put down the book, and Xuanyuan Qi said, "Ling Xiang, the king does not agree. You cannot marry someone else."
Ling Xiang really wanted to roll her eyes, "Your Highness, I'm already engaged, who can I marry?"
Xuanyuan Qi frowned and removed the restrictions in the carriage. "I'll pick you up tomorrow to visit another gentleman."
Ling Xiang knew when to stop. She had already secretly rejected Xuanyuan Qi today and could not refuse again. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Back at the farm, Ling Xiang really stopped caring about Zhang Qian, but she would not let Ling Yan hurt anyone without doing anything. She called Wu He over:
"Wu He, I told you at the beginning that if you didn't want to marry Ling Yan, you could refuse. Now, you've seen how cruel and heartless she is. If you don't want to have such a wife, I allow you to divorce her."
Wu He is not a simple and honest person who knows nothing. By marrying Ling Yan, he has achieved a class leap and has become half a master in the manor. He would not do such an act of crossing the river and then divorcing his wife just after marrying her.
"Miss, my wife made a mistake, and I am also responsible. Please put all the blame on me. As long as I am alive, I will watch over my wife and prevent her from hurting others."
Ling Xiang certainly wouldn't blame Wu He. "Okay, I respect your choice. At the same time, I will give you one last chance. If one day you want to give up Ling Yan, I will still allow you to divorce."
In the following days, the construction of Zhuangzi proceeded in an orderly manner. Ling Xiang would visit a teacher every day. Without exception, every teacher readily agreed to teach at the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Ling Xiang knew that it was Xuanyuan Qi who was helping her, and she was not an ungrateful person, so she offered to treat Xuanyuan Qi to a meal as a token of gratitude.
"Yeah." Xuanyuan Qi didn't react much, but he chose the most expensive restaurant and walked in first.
He looks very cool.
Ling Xiang felt that Xuanyuan Qi was more pleasing to the eye when he was bent on stirring up trouble, watching the show online, and couldn't be stopped even by the most powerful person.
Xuanyuan Qi picked up the most expensive dishes in the restaurant and ordered them all. At the end, he added: "I want eleven of each. One for serving and ten to take away."
Ling Xiang touched the banknotes in the space, feeling very distressed: "Your Majesty, may I ask if the cook of Prince Huai's Mansion has asked for leave?"
"Well, almost." Xuanyuan Qi was still very cold.
Ling Xiang: Is this the legendary "you can't get what you want"?
Although she could afford Xuanyuan Qi to pack a hundred copies, he was a prince and not short of money. This behavior was really cheap!
After dinner, Xuanyuan Qi sent Ling Xiang back to the manor as usual.
Before leaving, Xuanyuan Qi stared at Ling Xiang for a long time. When Ling Xiang was about to ask him, "My Lord, have you seen enough?", he finally spoke:
"I'm going to be away for a few days. Protect yourself and stay away from Nangong Yu."
"Goodbye." Ling Xiang said goodbye to Xuanyuan Qi.
A few days later, Ling Xiang was sure that the construction of the buildings on the farm was on track and she no longer needed to watch over it every day, so she returned to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
That night, the fake Yang Xiaogang, who had been recuperating under Yuan Zhengqing's care, said goodbye to Yuan Zhengqing with profuse gratitude after he recovered from his injuries. However, on the way home, he used his spiritual power to hide his tracks all the way and went to Yuelai Tower.
The eldest princess and Nangong Yu both sent people to monitor him and immediately passed the news back.
The fake Yang Xiaogang knocked out a waiter, put on his clothes, put on a human skin mask, and knocked on the door of a private room.
"Sir, your tea." The fake Yang Xiaogang put the food on the table and opened the restriction of the private room.
"What are you doing?" Ping'er immediately became alert and protected Gao Zhenzhen.
The fake Yang Xiaogang bowed to Gao Zhenzhen, took out a bottle of Heart Protecting Pills and said, "Miss Gao, I'm Miss Ling's man. She asked me to tell you that to prevent the King of Qin from noticing, you should take the Heart Protecting Pills daily to stabilize your condition. Miss Ling also said, don't worry, this Heart Protecting Pill doesn't increase your health."
