Chapter 465 Price
Yu Lingxiu barely opened her lips, but before a word could come out of her throat, she was burned by a burning warmth that made her breathing stagnant.
Beigong You's gaze towards Lin Miaoyin swept over everyone, like a bonfire that suddenly lit up in a winter night, making the air around him hot.
The phoenix eyes that had been soaked in the frost and snow of political intrigue and were as cold as a cold pond were now filled with inextricable sweetness, as if they had crushed the stars in the Milky Way and poured all their tenderness onto the person in front of them.
Her fingertips pinched into her palm unconsciously, and Yu Lingxiu was surprised to realize that the deep affection in King Ning's eyes had never changed - even though Lin Miaoyin had shed the dignified appearance of a noble lady and became a person with amnesia and erratic behavior, she was still the mole on his heart.
The resentment surging in her chest overwhelmed her rationality like a tide. In order to stay in the princess's mansion, she exhausted her youth in this deep house.
Even if not for himself, he had to protect this place for the sake of his sisters who were waiting to get married, and bet the glory and hope of his family in this deep courtyard of the royal palace where undercurrents were surging.
Yu Lingxiu suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, dug her nails deep into her palms, but maintained a respectful smile on her face. She slowly raised her hands, the silver bracelet on her wrists jingled lightly, and the fertility pill in her palms glowed faintly, like a frozen tear: "If the princess has any orders, Lingxiu will go through fire and water, just to serve in the backyard."
Just as Lin Miaoyin was about to speak, she suddenly felt a warmth on her wrist. Beigong You's big hand held her firmly, and the warmth of his palm penetrated her skin through his sleeve. She looked up and met the narrowed eyes of King Ning. His gaze was like a poisoned silver needle, piercing Yu Lingxiu directly: "Are you really willing to betray the eldest princess just to enter this palace?"
Yu Lingxiu's body trembled violently. The eldest princess's fierce face flashed in her mind, but her spine was stubbornly straightened. Her nails almost pierced her palms. She gritted her teeth and replied, "Yes!"
This abnormal humble attitude made Lin Miaoyin's heart alarm. She had seen Yu Lingxiu as proud as a peacock, and she had seen her smiling sweetly in front of the princess, but she had never seen her humble herself so much. If it weren't for the occasional burning feeling in her eyes, she would have almost thought that the person in front of her had a different soul.
Soul exchange? Lin Miaoyin's pupils suddenly contracted, Shen Yu's face overlapped with Yu Lingxiu's, and the rumors of the soul exchange organization exploded in her ears.
She subconsciously grabbed Beigong You's arm tightly, and her knuckles turned white from the force.
Yu Lingxiu's forehead hit the blue brick hard, the muffled sound startled the candle flame and trembled, scarlet bloodstains meandered down along her brow bone: "Please have mercy, Princess! I only ask for a way to live..."
There was a hint of crying in his hoarse voice, as if he had crushed all the grievances that had accumulated over the years into the blood and swallowed them down his throat.
Lin Miaoyin was anxious to explain, but she felt a familiar warmth on her wrist.
Beigong You's slender fingers gently stroked her pulse, silently conveying comfort, his black jade eyes were still firmly fixed on Yu Lingxiu, with a hint of playfulness in his cold light: "Are you really willing?"
This light sentence made Yu Lingxiu, who was like a frightened bird, look up suddenly. She looked at the undercurrent in King Ning's eyes, and the words "I will die for you" that were about to come out of her mouth got stuck on the tip of her tongue.
The gentle gaze in her memory suddenly pierced her heart. Her Adam's apple moved, and she swallowed the burning emotions back into her chest: "If the princess needs anything, I am willing to give everything!"
The ending tone trembled imperceptibly, as if it were to crush itself into pieces and grind itself into dust in order to pave a way to stay in the princess's mansion.
Beigong You expressed that he saw Yu Lingxiu's sincerity and said that if she could find what they needed, he would consider letting her become a member of the Princess's Mansion.
Yu Lingxiu realized that Beigong You was talking about the princess's mansion and not the prince's mansion, but she had no time to care about it at the moment, because her eighteenth birthday would be soon, and if she didn't settle down, even the princess's mansion would not be able to accommodate her.
Beigong You lowered his eyes and stroked the jade ring on his sleeve, and said nonchalantly: "I have noted your thoughts, let's see how far you can go." After that, he threw the celadon medicine bottle to the corridor. The crisp sound startled the crows perched on the eaves, and the fertility pills rolled to the steps, emitting a cold light in the twilight.
Yu Lingxiu's soulless figure disappeared behind the moon cave door. Lin Miaoyin clenched the hem of her skirt, her teeth almost biting blood marks: "You actually plan to let her take risks alone? The group of wolves and tigers in the dungeon..." Before she finished speaking, Beigong You had already grasped the soft point on her wrist, and his warm breath swept over her ears: "The princess hates betrayers the most, but the account book in her hand is enough to make that prince hesitate."
"just in case......"
"There's no such thing as an accident." Beigong You pinched her chin, dark currents surging in his phoenix eyes, "If you want me to protect her family, you have to exchange your life." His fingertips stroked the corners of her eyes that were red due to anxiety, and he suddenly remembered the way Youan clutched the corner of his clothes and sobbed that day, and his heart felt inexplicably hot.
Lin Miaoyin was forced to take a half step back by him, but she still looked into those captivating eyes stubbornly: "If she really finds any clues, you really have to..." The last syllable dissipated in the night wind, and her daughter's red face from crying lingered in front of her eyes.
Beigong You suddenly chuckled, and covered her cold hand with his hot palm: "When did Miaomiao learn to care about my backyard?" When he leaned over, the cedar scent mixed with the dangerous breath in his robe enveloped her, "Tell me the truth, how do you want me to deal with you?"
As the dusk deepened, the copper lamps in the corridor lit up one after another. Lin Miaoyin looked at the sparks dancing in his eyes and swallowed back the words "concubine's gift" that were on her lips. She didn't see that under Beigong You's drooping eyelashes, there was a light of ecstasy.

The night wind blew through the hall outside the moon-shaped door. Yu Lingxiu staggered and held onto the pillar. The silver hairpin in her hair had become crooked at some point, and the broken hair stuck to her forehead, which was covered with cold sweat.
Just as she was about to go to Qiwu Courtyard, a dark shadow suddenly blocked her way. Cui Xi leaned against the red painted pillar, twisting the silk handkerchief slowly in her hand, her eyes swept over her disheveled skirt: "My dear sister, just now I saw you and the prince go in one after the other, did you say something private?"
"It's just some pleasantries." Yu Lingxiu turned away and tried to leave, but her wide sleeves were held tightly.
Cui Xi's fingertips pinched her flesh, and she smiled without showing any smile: "We agreed to stand together, do you want to break the covenant?"
"I'm really tired today." Yu Lingxiu deliberately hunched her back, looking shaky, "Wait until I get over this period..."
Before he could finish his words, his wrist suddenly felt cold.
Cui Xi quickly opened the secret pocket in her sleeve, and the small gilded box fell to the ground with a "clack", and a pill with a strange fragrance rolled out.
"What kind of treasure is this?" Cui Xi picked up the pill and looked at it in the moonlight, her rouge lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, "Is it a token of love from the prince?" Yu Lingxiu rushed over to snatch it, her hair scattered, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes: "What does it have to do with you!"
She turned and ran, clutching the medicine box. The sound of her skirt brushing against the blue bricks made the copper bells in the corridor jingle.
