C196 (2/2)

Ziling looked carefully at the frail, scholarly figure: a man in a wide-sleeved robe, handsome as a fairy, who had probably been hiding in a tree or among flowers, with some dried leaves on his hair and shoulders. He was hidden here, but Ye Bluelight wasn't affected at all. It seemed that he was an expert.

Zi Ling looked at the handkerchief in her hand and found there was a seal embroidered on it.

”You are …?” She was extremely surprised, but the latter half of her sentence was blocked off by Feng Lingxue using a silent action.

”If you want it, I'll help you get it.” Feng Lingxue smiled like a cunning fox.

”...” What do you want me to do? ” Ziling wasn't a fool.

Feng Lingxue was quite satisfied with Zi Ling's reaction. If this beautiful face of Zi Yuan were to say something that was completely brainless, Feng Lingxue might really not be in the mood to do this.

”I'll tell you what I want you to do when I've fulfilled your wish. ”You just need to remember that you owe me this favor.” Feng Lingxue's scheming appearance caused Zi Ling to hate him, but there was nothing she could do.

Just now, she had recognized this elegant and graceful man on the handkerchief as the legendary idol of all women. He was the carefree and carefree young marquis of the Dongping Kingdom, Feng Lingxue.

She understood that this man must be very capable to be able to hide here without anyone knowing. If he said he would help her, he would succeed. However, the price should be quite high as well. Now that he didn't even mention what the price was, she was worried that it might have something to do with national affairs. However, as the little concubine of the house of the Marquis, she only wanted a home, a lover. She knew that Ye Blue Cang only had her elder sister in his heart and she was very clear that the reason he always came to their meeting was because he looked very similar to Zi Yuan. Furthermore, like Zi Yuan, she was also a somewhat intelligent woman. But even though she was very clear on all of this, she still wanted to become Ye Blueblue very much. She wanted to become his woman very much. This point was something she was very sure of. That was why she had gone to the palace and asked for marriage with an older sister, who had always been cold and aloof when she treated her sisters less than a year ago. However, Zi Yuan did not immediately agree to grant her a marriage. Instead, she said that she would have to ask Helian and Ye Lan Cang's opinion before she could confirm her answer. That was the reason why she called out to him in such a hurry. She wanted to force him into a corner. However, she didn't expect Ye Cang to be so persistent, so she guessed that he had lowered his feelings towards Zi Yuan. At this moment, it seemed that she could only rely on this young duke Dongping.

”Alright.” She promised him.

After the latter received her response, she left behind a string of candid laughter before disappearing from Zi Ling's sight.

While Zi Yuan was in the palace teasing him about the tender jade ornaments of the dragon and phoenix, he had barged in without waiting for a message from the palace maid. Zi Yuan reminded him with some displeasure, ”Although Great General Ye is a general of a nation and shares a brotherly relationship with the king, he has to break in just like that …” She was thinking that luckily, she wasn't feeding, otherwise she would have been embarrassed to death.

”Princess, please forgive Lan Cang for being so rude. It's just that Lan Cang is really anxious, and that's why he's so reckless.” Seeing the child in Zi Yuan's embrace, Ye Lan Cang's heart skipped a beat. He understood why Zi Yuan was so angry at him. He couldn't help but feel his ears turn red.

”What are you in such a hurry for?” Zi Yuan was quite curious. If it was a national affair, then the one Ye Lan Cang wanted to see was Helian. He most likely came to see her because of some other matter. What on earth could cause this usually reliable man to lose his wits like this?

”May I ask for Princess Consort to retract her bestowal of marriage?” Ye Indigo was kneeling on the ground in a respectful manner.

”Married?” The Violet Garden was stunned at first, but then she instantly understood what he was saying. It must be that Zi Ling said she was going to give them a marriage?

”Lan Cang's entire life is spent in war, and he can't give Miss Zi Ling the peace she wants. Therefore, I plead for the wangfei to take back her orders.” Ye Indigo was already unable to think of a better reason to reject the marriage.

Zi Yuan handed the child in his embrace to the maid at his side before walking to Night Blue's side to help him up.

”Actually, I wanted to talk to you about this in the next few days.” There was a smile on her face, but she could not understand the deep feelings that were currently hidden in the depths of Ye Bluelight's eyes. She was an emotional idiot. She had to go through a lot of things to understand the inseparable and indispensable relationship between herself and Helian. She knew how much Murong Xiu coveted her because he clearly showed it to her. Yet she could not know that she was a reliable comrade of hers, a loyal friend of hers, Ye Indigo, and that his feelings for her were very, very deep.

Because she didn't know, she still came to ask how he and Zi Ling met.

He didn't want to recall the scene when he met Ziling. That was a mistake he made. He still remembered how he had wandered alone in the market one afternoon in a trance, bored out of his mind, when suddenly a horse from the horse dealer had jumped and charged straight at a girl. The girl's back made him feel a sense of familiarity, and the girl's panicked profile allowed him to see the purple garden, so he had rushed over recklessly and carried the girl in his arms to avoid the horse. When the girl shyly thanked him, he realized that he had mistaken her for someone else. This girl only looks similar to Zi Yuan. However, this girl was very familiar with him. After seeing his identity card and knowing that he was Ye Bluesilver, she told him that she was the younger sister of the current imperial concubine. This information caused Ye Blueheaven to unconsciously glance a few more times at this young lady. From now on, this girl called Zi Ling would often call for him to have a private meeting with her. Originally, he didn't want to meet her, but every time he thought of her face that resembled that of Zi Yuan, every time he thought of her as Zi Yuan's younger sister, his body would involuntarily walk towards the rendezvous point.
