C36 (1/2)

Yu Ling Jing held onto Qi Wan County's hand, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his palm. Although Qi Wan felt a little at ease with him holding her hand, but he knew that holding her like this had other meanings. It was like silently announcing to everyone in the palace that this person was under his protection, so no one could bully her. As the two of them had woken up early in the morning, it was not too late. The sun hung on the right side of the sky blue curtain, emitting a warm glow.

”Thank you.” At that time, if it wasn't for her tightly gripping his fist, he probably would have already lost his mind, and the consequences would have been unthinkable. After leaving his apprenticeship, he would have died first, but this was not what he wanted.

”No need.” Yu Lingjing's lips curved into a faint smile. After he finished this sentence, the two of them started talking again. There was a long period of silence between them, but they didn't feel that this silence was awkward anymore. They were already used to this kind of interaction.

”Then you must be hungry.” He remembered that he hadn't woken up yet, so he definitely didn't have time to eat.

”Nope.” In fact, it had been feeling hungry from the start. In the small cabinet, there were only two things on its mind. Firstly, why did this queen want to target him for no reason, and secondly, why did it have to get up so early without food? Now that the face-smacking matter had come, his stomach sounded as soon as he said that. She suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become strange, and his ears were starting to turn red again.

”Still saying that you didn't come so early? I'm sure you haven't had breakfast. Let's hurry up and go home.” Yu Ling Jing smiled and looked at Qi Wan County. Qi Wan County raised his head and looked at Yu Ling Jing. He stood there facing the light, and within his long and narrow almond-shaped eyes were countless stars, as if they had all fallen into his heart at this moment.

”Alright.” Qi Wanjun suddenly became especially obedient and nodded his head. He realized that his feelings for him were slowly changing. Uncontrollable, unpredictable.

”Then tomorrow we're going back to visit our family and prepare something, right?” They sat together on the carriage. This time, Qi Dian County was the first to break the silence.

”Of course, I will arrange everything. You just need to leave when the time comes.” Yu Lingjing had regained her composure as an icy expression on her face.

”Yeah, sorry to trouble you.” Qi Wan nodded politely.

”You're my wife, aren't you?” Yu Ling Jing's face was expressionless, but he spoke words of love. Qi Wanshi felt that it was a bit strange. Why would someone use such an expression to say such sweet words?

”In name only.” Qi Wan County said coldly. Actually, in their eyes, dealing with intelligent people was very simple, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was very complicated.

”That's what you think.” Yu Lingjing said lightly. It was as if what he said had nothing to do with him.

”Forget it.” Qi Dian felt the carriage stop and hurriedly got up, wanting to leave this narrow space as soon as possible. After getting off the car, he started to carefully size up this Wang Mansion. Four mahogany pillars stood against the eaves. The corners of the eaves were tilted as if they were about to fly into the sky. There was a large gold plaque with black wood inlaid on it. On it, written in bold and forceful characters, was the words ”Regent's Estate”. The two of them walked into the manor together. Unlike the simple and unadorned outside, the sparse marbles could be seen everywhere in this dynasty. The small path to enter the sect was even more extravagantly made of white jade. The two sides, however, were quite surprised as they planted blue bamboo. Okay, wave after wave, I don't know where the sound of the moon's water came from.

”Your servant greets Your Highness.” Suddenly, a red figure appeared in front of the two of them. Qi Dian couldn't help but start to size him up. His figure was not bad, and his face was pretty good. Judging from his bearing, he was not a simple person. He had martial arts, but it was normal, and the appraisal was complete.

”Well, have you finished with what I told you?” Yu Ling Jing nodded, but Qi Wan County felt the ice on her face loosen a little.

”Prince, don't worry. You won't believe me when I do things?” The woman charmingly smiled at Yu Lingjing. Qi Wanxian felt goosebumps rising all over her body, but the aesthetic standards of men and women were always different.

”Of course I trust you.” Yu Lingjing raised his eyebrows. From his tone, one could tell that he was in quite a good mood.

”Then, Prince, come with me to the study to take a look at those …” The girl didn't say anything after speaking half a sentence. She indifferently glanced at Qi Wanli, who was standing at the side. Qi Wanjun suddenly felt that he was just an extra.

”Why don't you go and rest for a while? We'll have our meal together later?” Yu Ling Jing turned around and looked at Qi Lun County as he spoke softly.

”It's nothing, you're busy.” Qi Dian said, but he had no intention of leaving. Yu Ling Jing and that girl walked side by side, and after a few steps, that girl also turned around to look at Qi Wan County with an unknown meaning.

”Who was that person?” Qi Wan County was particularly displeased by the girl's gaze. He said to the air, ”Okay, actually, it's to the Liu Qi who had been acting as the invisible person beside him.”

”That person just now, she has always been living in the Prince's Mansion as a guest, but no one knows of his existence. Only the servants in the mansion know of his existence, but I feel …” Liu Qi was actually only 13 or 14 years old. Her mind was actually quite simple, and when she spoke, she didn't have any sense of direction.

”What do you think? ”Just say it …” Qi Wanjun felt as if he had caught a hint of gossip.

”It's better if this servant doesn't say anything.” Liu Qi shook her head, then lowered it again.

”Why didn't you listen to me from the beginning?” Qi Wan County intentionally pretended to be angry. He knew that this little girl was especially timid, and would be easily scared.
