Ling Xiang was persuaded and pulled back her hand: "There are too many people in the manor, Your Majesty, I will go by myself, please let go."
Xuanyuan Qi rarely listened to advice and let go of Ling Xiang's hand. "I'll wait for you outside."
Xuanyuan Qi disappeared on the spot. Ling Xiang called Xiaoyu and Mu Heng, explained some things to them, and then walked out of the manor.
After getting on Xuanyuan Qi's carriage, Ling Xiang asked, "Which gentleman are we going to visit first today?"
"You'll find out when you get there." Xuanyuan Qi ordered the driver to drive slowly, opened the restriction, and asked seriously:
"Ling Xiang, do you still want to break off your engagement with Nangong Yu?"
Ling Xiang said without thinking: "Of course."
Xuanyuan Qi was delighted and continued to ask, "Aren't you worried that Nangong Yu will regret it after knowing the truth?"
Ling Xiang was very surprised: "What truth? What do you know?"
Xuanyuan Qi coughed and said, "Actually, I think this matter should be kept secret from Nangong Yu, so that he won't get entangled with you. So, in order to prevent him from knowing the truth, you should stay away from him."
So, Xuanyuan Qi knew that she was Nangong Yu's savior?
Ling Xiang was completely impressed by Xuanyuan Qi: "I should stay away from him, but I'm very curious, Your Highness, how did you know this?"
"Of course I asked someone to find out." Xuanyuan Qi's expression was incomprehensible to Ling Xiang. "Ling Xiang, the sooner the better. Let's leave. What are your plans?"
Ling Xiang felt that Xuanyuan Qi was a little different today, so she said cautiously, "Your Highness, I have my own plans, so I won't bother you."
Xuanyuan Qi looked at Ling Xiang deeply. After being together for such a long time, she still treated him as an outsider. Although she didn't reject him, she didn't get close to him either.
He felt a little frustrated, but he was not discouraged. He knew that one day he would break through her defenses.
He continued to argue, "Ling Xiang, cultivators are much more perceptive than ordinary people. I'm afraid it won't be long before your secret is exposed. If you're willing, I'll take you away today."
Xuanyuan Qi made a hand gesture, and a miniature boat appeared. "This flying boat is extremely fast. It can leave the Dajing Empire from any direction in just one day."
A flying boat? Ling Xiang had heard Feng Xiaoyun mention this airplane-like means of transportation. It was so expensive to build and fly that only the wealthy or the nobility could afford one.
Obviously, Xuanyuan Qi is a rich and noble man, so it is not surprising that he owns a flying boat.
But she wasn't running away, so why did she want to leave on a flying boat?
Ling Xiang felt that Xuanyuan Qi was acting strangely today. "Your Highness, there's no need to leave so quickly. I still have a lot of things to do and won't leave for the time being. Besides, as long as the engagement is cancelled, it won't matter whether Nangong Yu knows the truth or not."
Xuanyuan Qi didn't think so: "Ling Xiang, you don't understand Nangong Yu, and you don't understand a man's obsession with his bloodline. If he knew, he would never let you leave with his bloodline."
Ling Xiang:?
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? What bloodline?"
Xuanyuan Qi looked at Ling Xiang's belly: "I know you were forced, but things have come to this point. Whether you want to keep the child or not, I will help you."
Ling Xiang: ???
What was he saying? Why couldn't she understand a word?
"Your Majesty, do you know what you are saying?"
Xuanyuan Qi's eyes were full of determination: "Ling Xiang, if you are willing, I can be the father of your child."
He thought about it all night and finally figured it out.
Ling Xiang has started taking pregnancy-maintaining pills, probably because she doesn't want to have an abortion, so he can't let Ling Xiang have an abortion.
However, if Nangong Yu knew that Ling Xiang was pregnant with his child, would he still cancel the engagement? Even if he didn't even care about his own child and still wanted to cancel the engagement, the imperial aunt who had always wanted to marry Ling Xiang would not agree!
Therefore, he decided to take Ling Xiang away, wait for her to give birth to the child, keep the matter of the child a secret, and then return to the capital to cancel the engagement.
When the time comes, he will just wait for his wedding with Ling Xiang, take the child back, and declare to the outside world that he is his illegitimate child.
This way, neither Ling Xiang nor her child will be harmed.
Now, he just waited for Ling Xiang to nod.
Ling Xiang:!!!
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, have you misunderstood something?"
Xuanyuan Qi was worried that Ling Xiang would be sad, so he asked cautiously, "You made the pregnancy-protecting pill yesterday because you wanted to keep the baby, right?"
Ling Xiang's eyes widened, as if she understood Xuanyuan Qi's misunderstanding: "Your Highness, you don't think that the pregnancy-protecting pills I made are for myself, do you?"
"Isn't it?" Xuanyuan Qi was surprised, but he also hoped that Ling Xiang would give him a negative answer.
"Ha, haha..." Ling Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Your Highness, that pregnancy-protecting pill is for Zhang."
Ling Xiang told Xuanyuan Qi roughly what happened at the farm yesterday.
Xuanyuan Qi made a big mistake, but he didn't feel awkward at all. He was just happy. "That's good."
It’s great that the girl he likes didn’t suffer such misfortune.
After telling Ling Yan what she had done in one breath, Ling Xiang stopped and suddenly realized what was wrong with Xuanyuan Qi.
Could it be that he likes her?
That's why, after he misunderstood that she was pregnant, he wanted to take her away and become the father of her child.
If he didn't like her, she couldn't imagine what reason would make a man willingly become a father.
But why?
Their eyes met, but neither of them spoke. The carriage was unusually quiet.
The atmosphere is very strange.
After a while, Xuanyuan Qi opened his mouth. Ling Xiang was afraid that what he said would confirm her guess, which would make the conversation difficult, so she awkwardly found a new topic:
"Well, Your Majesty, how long will it take us to get to the master's house?"
Xuanyuan Qi didn't bring Ling Xiang to visit the master today at all. He was only thinking about taking her away. Now that Ling Xiang asked him about it, it was really difficult for him to answer.
But he would never admit that he lied to her!
He removed the restraint and shouted to the driver, "Why are you so slow? If you don't go faster, we'll miss Mr. Shao Deyi's lunch!"
Driver:?
Didn’t the prince order us to drive slower?
Although he felt wronged, the driver still worked hard and took on everything. He whipped the horse's back and the speed of the carriage immediately increased.
The carriage fell silent again.
Xuanyuan Qi calmed down and looked at Ling Xiang, concentrating and serious. "Ling Xiang, actually, I know that it was you who got me into the lotus pond during the flower viewing banquet. You are also the one Nangong Yu is looking for."
Ling Xiang:!
Ling Xiang tried her best to calm herself down: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I was kidnapped on the day of the flower viewing banquet. This is something everyone knows. Are you mistaken?"
"No, I'm not wrong! It's you!" Xuanyuan Qi was very firm.
Ling Xiang's heart trembled, and she began to think about her escape plan. Whether she was hated by the devil or liked by him, it was not a good thing!
