I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

"Much better, I should be able to walk now." Ling Xiyue replied.

"Okay, as long as you can go. Leave here now and go back to His Highness immediately. I will send someone to protect you secretly on the way." Ling Junqi ordered.

"it is good."

Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Chuchen, "Brother, where is she? Isn't she going back too?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Junqi glared at Ling Chuchen and spoke sternly.

"Chu Chen listened to what others said and tried to harm my sister. She almost caused the Ling family to suffer a catastrophic disaster. How could I let her go so easily?"

Ling Chuchen was shocked and said fearfully, "Brother, what do you want to do? If I don't go back, the Second Prince will definitely come looking for me."

"Don't worry, I will definitely let you go back, but not now. Half an hour later, I will naturally let you return to His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Ling Junqi showed an intriguing expression.

"Half an hour? What do you want to do in this half an hour?" Ling Chuchen was scared and asked in horror.

Ling Xiyue was also very curious, and she looked at Ling Junqi with expectant eyes.

Ling Junqi just tilted the corner of his mouth to the left, did not answer, and instead instructed Ling Xiyue.

"Xiyue, be obedient. Go back first and leave the rest to me."

"Brother, is there something wrong? Can't you tell me? I want to know too." Ling Xiyue didn't want to miss the show, she wanted to continue "watching".

But Ling Junqi was determined.

"Be obedient and go back immediately." Ling Junqi ordered with a stern face.

Seeing Ling Junqi's extremely serious face, Ling Xiyue had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go back. Brother, you better be careful."

"Yeah." Ling Junqi nodded.

Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Chuchen again before she took a step forward, walked to the door, opened it, and walked out.

At this time, Ling Chuchen saw the door open, and she rushed out quickly. However, she was stopped by Ling Junqi after only two steps.

"You still want to run?" Ling Junqi cursed.

Ling Chuchen, who was held by Ling Junqi, knew that he could not run away, so he started to act coquettishly.

"Brother, just let me go. If there is anything, we can talk about it when we return to the mansion. Is that not okay?"

Ling Xiyue heard Ling Junqi's voice before she walked out of the door. She stopped and turned around, and saw Ling Chuchen acting coquettishly towards Ling Junqi. She stopped to watch curiously.

When Ling Junqi saw this, he shouted, "Xiyue, go back."

Ling Xiyue had no choice but to continue walking outside, but she walked very slowly and could vaguely hear Ling Junqi's words.

"If I don't keep you here, do you think you can return to the Ling Mansion alive? The Second Prince would have already..."

When she heard this, there was no more talking and she only heard the sound of the door closing.

Ling Xiyue pondered in her heart: Brother, why didn't he let me know? Speaking of which, has brother been protecting me secretly? Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared so promptly? Is it His Highness's intention? I wanted to deal with Ling Chuchen by myself, but I didn't expect that Ling Chuchen had a master behind him. Fortunately, I also have people behind me, my brother and His Highness.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiyue still felt very happy.

After she walked out of the temple, Xiaoyin and Zhouer came to meet her.

Zhou Er didn't see Ling Chuchen, so he asked worriedly, "Miss, where's Miss Two?"

"Oh, she still has some things to deal with. You can wait for her here for about half an hour." A trace of guilt flashed in Ling Xiyue's eyes, but she quickly recovered.

"Half an hour?" Zhou Er was very skeptical. "Miss, should I go in and take a look?"

Having said that, he wanted to move forward.

When Ling Xiyue saw this, she quickly scolded him, "How dare you! You won't listen to me now, right? Do you want to be punished by the family rules before you obey?"

Zhou Er was stunned, but still not convinced. She defended herself, "I was just worried that something might happen to the Second Miss."

"What are you talking about? I'm her sister. If there is any danger, would I not tell you? Even if something happens, I will take the blame." Ling Xiyue scolded with a sullen face.

Seeing this, Zhou Er did not dare to refute and could only respond obediently: "Yes."

"Zhou'er, take your people and wait here. I will go back to His Highness first." Ling Xiyue ordered.

"Yes."

Ling Xiyue left first with Xiaoyin and other maids.

After seeing Ling Xiyue leave, Zhou'er looked at the temple door and wanted to go in. After thinking for a moment, she still didn't dare to go forward.

On the way, Xiaoyin dared to speak.

"Miss, where is Miss Two? Why doesn't she come out together? Did something happen?"

Ling Xiyue saw Xiaoyin's expectant eyes. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to say anything.

"Let's talk about this later."

Seeing this, Xiaoyin wanted to ask again, but when she saw that there was a maid following her, she did not ask.

Follow quietly behind.

Ling Xiyue and the others walked for quite a while before returning to the main hall.

At this time, He Tingxi and He Jingcheng were already waiting here.

When He Jingcheng only saw Ling Xiyue, his face immediately turned gloomy, but when he found He Tingxi looking at him, he returned to normal.

"Your Highness." Ling Xiyue walked closer and saluted He Tingxi.

"Where is your sister Chuchen? Why isn't she with you?" He Tingxi asked.

Ling Xiyue glanced at He Jingcheng and saw that He Jingcheng had a puzzled look on his face. She replied calmly, "She still has some things to deal with and will be back later."

"Is that so? Then wait until she comes back before going back home?"

After He Tingxi finished speaking, he looked at He Jingcheng and said, "Second brother, what do you think?"

"Okay." He Jingcheng replied calmly.

They sat down and waited quietly.

He Jingcheng took advantage of Ling Xiyue's attention not being on him to secretly look at Ling Xiyue. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Ling Xiyue, he frowned slightly.

He Tingxi had been secretly observing He Jingcheng. When he saw He Jingcheng frowning, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Ling Xiyue saw Ling Chuchen's personal maid Zhou'er running towards the hall in a panic and hurry, shouting as she ran.

"Oh no, oh no, something's happened to the Second Miss, something's happened to the Second Miss."

Ling Xiyue was startled, and hurriedly stood up, walked over quickly, and asked anxiously: "Chu Chen, what happened to her?"

Seeing this, He Jingcheng stood up and asked anxiously, "Chu Chen, what happened to her? Tell me quickly."

Zhou'er stopped only after she reached the main hall. She looked nervous.

"The second young lady encountered a villain on her way back to the palace and was pushed down the hillside. The others have gone to the bottom of the hillside to look for her. I came back specifically to inform Your Highness."

"Pushed down the hillside?" He Jingcheng was shocked, and then he ordered his confidant Fang Di, "Hurry up and take people to follow Zhou'er to find Chu Chen. You must find him."

"Yes."

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue wanted to join in the fun. She looked at He Tingxi and said, "Your Highness, I want to go too."

He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue very calmly and said lightly: "Second brother's people can go to find it, you just stay here."

Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment. She really wanted to fight for it, but when she saw that He Tingxi had already spoken and refused to give in, she gave up.

"Ok."
