The kneeling man did not dare to make a sound, lie knew that his life was in the hands of the person in front of him!
Others might be confused by his gentle and refined appearance, but as his subordinate, he clearly knew the Second Prince’s methods.
After some time, Mo Linyuan faintly said, “Get up.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“Your Highness, then our plan this time…” He hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Should we continue?”
Mo Linyuan seemed to have thought of something and his expression softened. “There’s no need. If she marries me, we’ll be a family. How can there be a reason to fight?”
“Yes!”
The Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor could be said to be Emperor Wu Xuan’s right-hand man and the most loyal and brave blade. However, it was also a thorn in the heart of the neighboring countries and the family that the Daqing imperial family feared the most.
This time, he had originally wanted to pretend to be injured to force Emperor Wu Xuan to punish the General’s Manor, but he was saved by Bai Xianyu. Although his plan was disrupted, it was not a bad thing. If he could obtain the help of the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor, some things would be much simpler.
Moreover, the person for the marriage alliance would be Bai Xianyu.
When Mo Linyuan thought of the faint cherry-pink color at the tip of her nose and cheeks when she woke up in the morning, as well as her almond-shaped eyes that looked around in a daze, a certain part of his heart moved quietly.
Although Bai Xianyu’s fever had subsided, she could not walk around freely yet to prevent her wound from rupturing. Therefore, her range of activity was limited to sitting in the courtyard and basking in the sun.
Xie Xingyun carried the tonic into the courtyard and handed it to Green Pearl. The latter passed through the moon gate and went to the kitchen to place it.
As there were so many people coming to give gifts these days that their threshold was almost broken, they were not surprised.
Bai Xianyu watched him approach and her gaze paused on his arm.
Xie Xingyun pretended not to see it and glanced at her wound. “Are you feeling better?”
“Emm.”
“Even if you didn’t come today, 1 would have gone to look for you.” Bai Xianyu shot a look at Green Pearl, who had come to serve her. Green Pearl understood the meaning and stood at the door to keep watch.
Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows.
She continued, “I heard that the case had been taken over by the Court of Judicial Review… How far is the investigation now?”
“There’s no progress.” Xie Xingyun sat down opposite her. “There’s no obvious emblem on the arrow. The dart has been destroyed by Bai Li.”
When he heard her ask that question, he guessed what she wanted to do.
Hence, he answered very quickly.
Bai Xianyu was slightly relieved.
In order to make the case more credible, they had not left more evidence behind. There was no emblem on the arrow, and the only thing they found was the dart from the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor that should not have been here.
Now that the two important pieces of evidence were gone and she had saved Mo Linyuan’s life, even if someone were to put the blame on them, Emperor Wu Xuan and the other Daqing envoy delegation would not believe it.
“Have you been following behind Mo Linyuan these past few days just to protect him?”
At this point, there was no need for Bai Xianyu to hide it from him. The warm wind blew her black hair. With her simple bun, her hair did not become disheveled, but it added a bit of laziness and casualness to her. She was like a cat that was still napping. “Yes.”
Xie Xingyun could not help but smile when he received her acknowledgment. “I see. I was wondering why you suddenly liked him.”
The man was sitting in the shade of the tree, sitting on a short stone block like it was a throne. At this moment, his smile was faint, but it came from the bottom of his heart. It was like a crack in an iceberg, gurgling water flowed out from it. It inevitably made one feel it was strange.
Bai Xianyu suddenly remembered that Xie Xingyun seemed to have not pulled a long face for a long time. She did not know when it started, but he often had a smile in front of her.
However, his words made Bai Xianyu feel smug.
She looked at him. “Why can’t I like him?”
Xie Xingyun supported his chin and said, “Because… I’m better than him.”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
She rarely saw him praise himself. For some reason, she just wanted to refute him.
“I think Mo Linyuan is quite good. He’s handsome and gentle. Although he’s the Second Prince of Daqing, he doesn’t put on airs and is friendly to others. If 1 spend more time with him, I might really like him.”
Xie Xingyun did not say anything. Instead, he waved behind him. “Xiao Zheng, come here.”
“I’m coming, Young Master!”
Bai Xianyu did not know what he was up to and raised her head to look at the two of them.
Xie Xingyun tilted his head sideways, his ponytail drawing a sharp arc in the air.. “Did you hear what I said just now?”
