Chapter 975: Enemy on the Belly and Back
Wuqi hesitated a little, but still got into the carriage under Lin Wan's insistent gaze. Gale also sat back beside the Hidden Soul and shouted, "Drive!" Then, the carriage sped like an arrow towards Tingxi Liyuan, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
On the carriage, Wu Qi was silent, and Lin Wan saw that he looked depressed, and couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he made Lan Ziling a stand-in, Lan Ziling would not have married Zhou Tianhong, and Wuqi would not have been so sad.
Seeing that Lin Wan had been looking at him, Wu Qi finally raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Princess Wanxin, where are you going to take it down? What is the important matter? Could it be that something happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Lin Wan thought in his heart that he must be unwilling to leave, so Gale said that he would take him to a place to meet someone, and said that the matter was very urgent, so he asked this question. So, he shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Ximen is fine, nothing happened." However, he has been worried lately, worried that one of his good brothers has lost his future and life for a woman who does not belong to him. ”
Of course, Wuqi knew that Lin Wan was talking about himself, frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Princess Wanxin has something to say, so there is no need to beat around the bush." ”
Lin Wan was not angry, smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Wuqi, I believe you also know, Xiling Kingdom is in a very dangerous situation now, and Brother Ximen is now suffering from the enemy, and the situation is not optimistic." Moreover, his martial arts could not be restored in a short period of time. He didn't say it, but I know he needs you so much right now. If you are caught by Zhou Tianhong because of your reckless behavior tonight, won't it add to the trouble of Brother Ximen, and make him lose the only friend he can rely on?"
Wu Qi was stunned, of course he knew what Lin Wan said, but with the pride of Ximen Yuqing, it was impossible to say it. And he himself, because he couldn't let go of Lan Ziling, finally planned to break into the Great Prince's Mansion on the last night before Lan Ziling's wedding, wanting to see Lan Ziling again.
He wanted to ask Lan Ziling if he really wanted to marry Zhou Tianhong, if Lan Ziling was forced, he would take Lan Ziling to escape. He also had an idea, that is, if he had the opportunity, he wanted to kill the man who had defiled Lan Ziling with his own hands - Zhou Tianhong.
Lin Wan saw that Wuqi did not speak, and there was a trace of hesitation and entanglement in his eyes. Changed the topic again and asked, "Brother Wuqi, do you know where Ximen Yuling is now?"
Wuqi thought for a while and replied, "Ximen Yuling has left the capital and returned to Xiling Kingdom. ”
Lin Wan said secretly, sure enough, nodded, and then asked, "Brother Wuqi, how did you know about this matter? When did Ximen Yuling leave? Why did he leave suddenly?"
Wuqi raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Wan, wanting to see her intentions from Lin Wan's gaze, but she didn't see anything, as if she was just just curious. So, he replied truthfully: "I have been guarding the vicinity of the Great Prince's Mansion for the past few days, and I saw Ximen Yuling quietly leave the capital with all his people. ”
Lin Wan frowned and asked, "Didn't Ximen Yuling like Lan Ziling, why did he leave suddenly? Could it be that he already knew the relationship between Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziling?"
Wuqi said hatefully: "Ximen Yuling is a despicable and shameless man who is as timid as a mouse! On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he followed Zhou Tianhong to Cliff Mountain for the purpose of assassinating His Royal Highness the Prince. However, after going up the mountain, they got lost and did not find His Royal Highness the Prince. So he went back the way he came, and waited at the bottom of the mountain. I had been following him that day, so I knew his whereabouts well. ”
Lin Wan listened carefully, nodded slightly, and motioned for Wuqi to continue.
Wuqi paused and continued: "Later, Lan Ziyue came down from the mountain and said that Zhou Tianhong was missing. Ximen Yuling quietly followed, and saw Zhou Tianhong and Princess Ziling with his own eyes......" Wuqi gritted his teeth, and continued: "I was not interested in Zhou Tianhong, so I didn't follow too closely, and later saw Ximen Yuling coming down from the mountain, scolding while walking, and said a lot of ugly things, all of which scolded Princess Ziling and Zhou Tianhong. I couldn't get angry, so I rushed out and grabbed him by the collar and asked him why he was scolding Princess Ziling. He said that Princess Ziling and Zhou Tianhong had an affair, which he saw with his own eyes. I didn't believe it, and when I returned to the mountain, I saw Zhou Tianhong taking Lan Ziyue and Princess Ziling down the mountain together. I followed them back to the Great Prince's Mansion, and I saw with my own eyes that Ximen Yuling left through the back door at the same time as they went back. ”
Lin Wan asked puzzledly, "Then how do you know that he must have returned to Xiling Kingdom?"
Wuqi said with some hesitation: "When they left, a secret guard saw me, and Ximen Yuling asked me to go back to Xiling Kingdom with him." He said that Princess Ziling is not worth our travel all the way to Dafeng, let alone us to continue to stay. However, when I rejected him, I saw him go out of the city with the secret guard. ”
Lin Wan nodded slightly and said, "Brother Wuqi, no matter whether Lan Ziling is worth it or not, she is already Zhou Tianhong's person, she is willing to marry Zhou Tianhong, and besides, the title of the eldest prince and concubine is also earned by herself." ”
There was no surprise, and he looked at Lin Wan in a daze, not wanting to believe it, but he had to believe it. He saw with his own eyes that Zhou Tianhong took Lan Ziyue and Lan Ziling to Cliff Mountain again the next day, and Lan Ziling did not mean to refuse. And that kind of thing had just happened the night before, but she could act as if nothing had happened, going in and out with Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziyue, which made Wuqi very frustrated.
Lin Wan looked at Wuqi's uncertain eyes, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart. Although no one knew that this matter had anything to do with her, she was a little weak-hearted, and always felt that the bad things she did would one day be known by others.
Along the way, Wuqi didn't speak again, Lin Wan also thought about his own thoughts, and before he knew it, he had already arrived at the gate of Tingxi Liyuan.
Back at Tingxi Liyuan, Lin Wan didn't say anything more to Wuqi, and asked Lu Bing to take him to Tingfeng Tower to live with Ximen Yuqing, Jin Haoran, Changfeng, and Bei Xiaonan.
When Lin Wan returned to Tingyulou, Lin Huixin had already fallen asleep, and Kapok Zi was in a room with her. Jin Ruoxin was still waiting for Lin Wan, Lin Wan sat down next to Jin Ruoxin, and told Jin Ruoxin everything that happened after she went to the eldest princess's mansion from beginning to end.
In the end, he blamed himself a little and asked with some concern: "Sister, you say, did I do something wrong?" Lan Ziling must hate me to death, if Wu Qi knew about this, she would definitely want to kill me, right?"
