Chapter 204 You Are Not Enthusiastic After Coming Back

Ye Qingge turned around in surprise after hearing the voice

"Ling...Your Highness, why are you here?"

Xiao Lingye took two steps at a time and came over, pulling Ye Qingge into his arms.

Xu Yi, who was standing by, saluted the prince immediately upon seeing him coming.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Lingye waved at him, signaling him to leave quickly, but Xu Yi still wanted to say something to Miss Ye and had no intention of leaving.

Xiao Lingye glared at him and mouthed, "If you don't leave, I'll kill your entire clan!" Xu Yi was so frightened that he dared not say a word. He could only silently salute him and then walk away.

He has always wanted to repay Ye Qingge. After all, if she hadn't saved him, he wouldn't be where he is today. He would have drowned a year ago. But the Crown Prince was so stingy that he wouldn't even let the Crown Princess have a meal. He didn't know how to repay her.

Ye Qingge was tightly hugged by Xiao Lingye. Due to the height difference, her face was buried in his chest, and she almost couldn't breathe. She quickly pushed him away.

"Your Highness, please let me go. I am almost suffocating."

Xiao Lingye loosened his arms and buried his head in her shoulders, with no intention of letting her go.

"No, I won't let you go. I'm afraid you'll run away again."

“I’m not running, I’m staying here.”

Xiao Lingye asked like a child, feeling wronged.

"Why did you leave just now?"

Ye Qingge patted his back gently to comfort him

"I don't like Lin Ruoyue. I'm afraid I can't help but beat her up again."

"She's dead. Anyone you don't like must die."

Ye Qingge was stunned and asked in disbelief

"She... died?"

"Um"

"you……"

"I killed him"

Xiao Lingye let her go and said

"Qingge, I called her over just now because I wanted to kill her. I didn't expect you to hear it. Please don't misunderstand me."

Ye Qingge thought Ling Ye would really help her escape from the Rui Palace, but his tone at the time really made people think too much.

"Ling Ye, I believe you, I just feel uncomfortable."

"I was waiting for you just now. I don't know how she followed me in. Qingge, I promised you that any other woman who approaches me is seeking death. Don't be sad. I almost went crazy when I couldn't find you just now."

Ye Qingge smiled mischievously

"Is it so serious?"

Xiao Lingye felt that she didn't believe him, and then said aggrievedly

“Yeah, it’s really serious.”

If he can't find her, he will turn the entire capital upside down.

"Okay, okay, I believe you. I won't run around next time."

"you promise"

"I promise"

Xiao Lingye was relieved and hugged her again. Fortunately, she was not angry with him. When he came just now, he wanted to kneel down in front of her and confess.

"Ling Ye, let's go back to the palace."

"it is good"

The two walked hand in hand

"Why did Lord Xu get so bruised and battered just now?"

"Two hooligans wanted to bully me. Lord Xu stood up for justice, but he was beaten by them instead."

"What? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. I beat up those two men, and then Lord Xu's guards came and took them to the government office."

Beaten? Xiao Lingye quickly lifted her hand to look at it, and it was indeed red. He said with heartache

"Next time I will never leave you even a step, Qingge I'm sorry, it's my fault that I failed to protect you."

"I'm fine, just stretching my muscles."

Even though she said that, Xiao Lingye still felt very guilty. He should have gone to pick up Qingge in person today, otherwise so many things would not have happened later.

Not long after walking, I saw Xu Yi, who was still waiting.

Xu Yi? There is no other way. The Crown Princess rarely leaves the palace. He must seize the opportunity to repay her. Otherwise, he, a man, cannot go to the harem privately.

The jade pendant he had given her before was also returned by Prince Xuan. If it had not been returned, he would have felt better. Now that she had saved him again, he must repay her well.

He didn't care how bad the Crown Prince's face was, and said directly to Ye Qingge

"I am hosting a meal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife today. I wonder if you would give me this opportunity?"

Ye Qingge knew that he wanted to repay her, but she felt that it was unnecessary. It was just a piece of cake, and the jealous person next to her was about to fall, so she quickly said

"Master Xu, saving you is just a piece of cake for me. Don't take it to heart. I would save someone else as well."

"But……"

"Master Xu, if you really want to repay me, please support my husband in the court. It's the same."

After hearing this, Xu Yi nodded solemnly. In fact, even without her saying anything, he would support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In the past few days in the court, he also saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's courage and strategy. The strategy of governing the country proposed by him coincided with his ideas. Moreover, it was said that the central granary built before was also proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Such people who can truly care about the people deserve to be supported

"Master Xu, goodbye."

Ye Qingge was pulled away by Xiao Lingye

"Qingge, you don't have to say that to him. He is a smart man. He was able to reach the fourth rank in a short time. He is a talent."

Ye Qingge secretly complained that he was indeed a talented person.

"Ling Ye, you said he's smart, so he has his own judgment. I believe he can make his own choice, and I want to help you."

Xiao Lingye touched her head

"My silly wife, don't worry, your husband will not let you down. Just be a good princess and don't worry about other things."

"Okay, I believe you"

……

The two of them got off the carriage at the palace gate. Ye Qingge kept looking back. She couldn't help but ask

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to let Xuan Lie in like this?"

Xuan Lie was carrying a pile of candied haws. Did they buy all of them?

"You didn't get to eat it just now, so I bought all of it. Let's eat it together slowly when we get back to the palace."

Xiao Lingye whispered into her ear with a wicked smile

Ye Qingge pushed him

"Your Highness, please pay attention to your image."

Xiao Lingye couldn't help but sigh

"Lingyun Mountain is still the best. There's no one to restrict you. You're free and unfettered. You weren't enthusiastic anymore after coming back. I wanted to take you there for a while longer, but the Queen Mother was critically ill, so I had to come back early."

Ye Qingge was amused by his melancholy expression.

"Your Highness, we can go there later."

"Okay, we'll go back after a while."

Ye Qingge smiled helplessly. He had promised the Queen that he would not go there again, but now he was thinking about going. If the Queen knew about it, he wondered if she would be furious.

-

It was two days after Lin Ruoyue disappeared that the Rui Wang Mansion began to look for her. The Rui Wang did not take her seriously, so even if she was not in the mansion, he did not notice.

But she still has some beauty, much better than those concubines he raised.

So he would think of her occasionally. After all, when he was doing things, he could enjoy himself and his mood would be much better.

He thought Lin Ruoyue had disappeared on purpose to attract his attention. It was not until the guards came back to report that Lin Ruoyue's body was found by the lake that he realized the seriousness of the matter.

An eyewitness claimed to have seen her jump into the lake by herself. King Rui did not suspect anything and thought she was just being ignored by him. He covered his nose, looked at the body, and ordered it to be carried away.

After all, she was the woman he loved once, and now that she is gone, he is a little sad.

But after a moment, he turned around and threw himself into the arms of other women for comfort.
