Ling Qingwan was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, she should confess to Wei Xun and ask him not to spread what happened tonight. On the other hand, she would risk her life and death and let her plan be known to everyone.
Wei Xun walked around Ling Qingwan and came to Song Zhiqing and Ling Chuchu. The two of them were lying together in disheveled clothes, which would make anyone who saw them imagine something.
interesting.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Wei Xun turned his head and said to Ling Qingwan.
A hint of vigilance flashed across Ling Qingwan's eyes.
"Do you remember? I also witnessed your skills on your way back to Tokyo City." Wei Xun saw what Ling Qingwan was thinking and told her this to dispel her doubts.
Of course Ling Qingwan remembered that Wei Xun saw her deal with Hong Xiu with his own eyes.
"If I really wanted to tell others, I wouldn't have to wait until now." Wei Xun then told Ling Qingwan. "Besides, you knew I was poisoned and you kept it a secret for me. I'm going to repay you a favor, so don't worry."
"Thank you." Finally, Ling Qingwan nodded and thanked Wei Xun.
She knew that her lie would not be able to deceive Wei Xun, and might even anger him. Ling Qingwan had already prepared to confess to Wei Xun, but she did not expect that Wei Xun would not ask anything.
But no matter what, he is willing to keep the secret for me, so he deserves this thanks.
"Go back." Wei Xun reminded Ling Qingwan.
Tonight, Ling Qingwan confronted Old Madam Ling in person. Old Madam Ling did not dare to act outrageously in public, but she would find ways to trip Ling Qingwan up behind her back. She had not been back for so long, it was fine if she hadn't been discovered, but if she had been discovered, it would have been the end of her.
Ling Qingwan estimated the time and it was time to go back to Jing'an Temple. She was upset and left without saying anything more to Wei Xun.
If Wei Xun saw what she did, it would be considered a failure. As long as one person knew her plan, she would be in more danger. This was definitely not a good thing for Ling Qingwan.
"Wei Shi." Wei Xun called out softly, and a black shadow rushed out from not far away and stopped behind Wei Xun.
"Clean up the scene and make it look like the guard accidentally slipped down the hillside," Wei Xun ordered. "Remember, don't leave any traces of Ling Qingwan being here."
No matter how meticulous Ling Qingwan's plan was, it was her first time doing something like this, so it was inevitable that she would be unfamiliar with it and reveal flaws. Wei Xun stayed behind to help her clean up the mess.
After hearing Wei Xun's arrangement, Wei Shi was surprised.
"Your Highness, why don't you ask Miss Ling Er why she did this? Why do you help her? What if..." Wei Shi couldn't continue. After all, Wei Xun cared about Ling Qingwan, and anyone with eyes could see it.
But no matter how much I like Ling Qingwan, I have to consider the overall situation.
"She arranged Song Zhiqing and Ling Chuchu to lie together. This at least proves that she doesn't like Song Zhiqing." As he spoke, Wei Xun's mouth corners slightly raised.
"… "
Wei Shi didn't know what to say.
Because of this, his master had to intervene in this matter and help Ling Qingwan deal with the aftermath. And he didn't know what Ling Qingwan's purpose was.
If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Ling Qingwan happened to harm the current crown prince.
"What are you standing there for? Get doing something." Wei Xun urged.
Wei Shi did not dare to delay and hurried to get to work.
The next morning, Song Zhiqing woke up from his sleep in a daze. He had a splitting headache and only remembered that he followed Ling Chuchu here last night, but he couldn't remember what happened afterwards.
Song Zhiqing stood up with one hand on the grass, and then he realized that he was lying on the ground. He looked at his body again, and he was only wearing a casual outfit. Song Zhiqing was shocked. He glanced at Ling Chuchu from the corner of his eye, and sure enough, she was still sleeping, and her clothes were as disheveled as he was.
Without time to think about it, Song Zhiqing quickly got up and put on his clothes. Looking at Ling Chuchu who was still sleeping, Song Zhiqing was at a loss as to what to do.
He remembered that he clearly wanted to take Ling Chuchu back, so why did he end up lying with Ling Chuchu for no apparent reason? The more Song Zhiqing thought about it, the more headache he had. In the end, he could only give up struggling and stop thinking about it.
Could it be that Ling Chuchu had set up this trap? Was she deliberately doing this to get close to him? Song Zhiqing thought of how Ling Chuchu had jumped into the lake to save him a few days ago, which had caused rumors to spread all over Tokyo City. He felt that this was something Ling Chuchu could do.
Besides, Song Zhiqing knew Ling Chuchu's character very well. He could still remember clearly how she bullied Ling Qingwan in her previous life.
After all, at that time he followed Ling Chuchu and pushed Ling Qingwan into a desperate situation step by step.
Song Zhiqing packed up and left. When Ling Chuchu woke up and returned to Jing'an Temple, it was already noon.
When Old Madam Ling was having lunch, she called Ling Chuchu over. Zhishu didn't dare to say much and could only say that Ling Chuchu was still resting in the room to evade Old Madam Ling.
Ling Qingwan had calculated that if Ling Chuchu woke up first and saw herself and Song Zhiqing lying together, she would definitely take the opportunity to entangle Song Zhiqing. Their marriage would be considered a continuation of their previous life's marriage, and she would be able to get rid of Song Zhiqing's entanglement. If Song Zhiqing woke up first, even if he left Ling Chuchu behind, the inner torment would be enough for him to endure for a while.
Ling Qingwan could bring this up at any time. The fact that the current crown prince and the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family slept in dishevel at the back of Jing'an Temple for a night was more outrageous than having a man in her room in the middle of the night.
The group prepared to leave the temple in the afternoon. Old Madam Ling and Ling Shen went to kneel down and pay their last respects, while the younger generations returned to their rooms to pack their luggage.
There was a knock on the door. Ling Qingwan opened the door and saw Song Zhiqing.
Ling Qingwan frowned calmly and turned back to her room.
"What does your Highness want to see me for?"
"Wanwan, I have something to tell you." Song Zhiqing was in a dilemma, as if he had made the decision with great determination.
I can't possibly tell her what happened last night, Ling Qingwan was puzzled.
"This matter is very important. I only ask that after you listen to me, don't think I'm ridiculous. Everything I said is true." Song Zhiqing said to Ling Qingwan solemnly.
Ling Qingwan was even more puzzled as to what required Song Zhiqing to remind her again and again.
"Your Highness, please feel free to speak." Ling Qingwan put down what she was doing and faced Song Zhiqing.
Song Zhiqing was so serious because he wanted to tell Ling Qingwan that he had actually experienced a life and was reborn this time. What happened with Ling Chuchu last night made Song Zhiqing feel mixed emotions and he felt more guilty towards Ling Qingwan. After thinking it over, he decided to tell Ling Qingwan.
Maybe Ling Qingwan knew the truth and was willing to give him a chance.
"I… "
"Second Miss!"
Song Zhiqing had just opened his mouth when Qing Ming walked in. After he finished speaking, she realized that Song Zhiqing was also in the room.
"Your Highness, your servant greets you!" Qing Ming was extremely nervous and bowed to Song Zhiqing.
Song Zhiqing had just made up his mind, but because of Qing Ming's sudden interruption, he actually felt like backing off.
If Ling Qingwan knew how he treated her in her previous life, would she still be able to forgive him? It would be better for Ling Qingwan to treat him as a stranger instead of an enemy as it is now.
