The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

……

Yang Ling sat in the room drawing his blueprints. Based on his memories from his previous life, what he was now preparing to do was to lead the entire Liangzhou into an industrial society.

What he didn't expect was that Yun'er would arrive before the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, I've come to see you!"

The familiar voice rang out, and Yang Ling trembled. He had no idea how long it had been since he and Yun'er had last seen each other.

His sudden appearance here was somewhat unexpected.

"How did you end up here? Didn't I tell you to stay in Liangzhou? This place is so dangerous."

Yang Ling looked at Yun'er and knew that she had come because she was worried about her.

But no matter what, this place is still too dangerous. What would he do if something bad happened to him?

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Yun'er showed no displeasure. Instead, she went over and hugged him tightly.

"I'm just worried about you. I've heard that assassins have been coming to kill you. Yun'er just wants to stay with Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's eyes reddened, and he couldn't help but hug the girl's soft waist tightly.

How could he not miss her too!

"You!"

Yang Ling reached out and ruffled her hair, her smile widening.

Yun'er felt Yang Ling's warm embrace and couldn't help but move closer to his chest, pressing her ear against his heart.

The strong, powerful heartbeat made Yun'er feel very secure, as if she had found someone to rely on.

After a long while, Yang Ling pushed her away, looked up at the beautiful girl in his arms, and his eyes flashed with a complex light.

"Yun'er, do you know that I am in a very dangerous situation right now? If you come here, your future will definitely not be easy!"

Upon hearing this, Yun'er smiled slightly, her bright eyes looking at him.

"Your Highness, I know what you're worried about, but rest assured, I've always known what Your Highness wants to do."

Yun'er spoke with a confident smile that made her stand out and drew Yang Ling's attention.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten what I once told you?"

She looked at Yang Ling with a faint smile on her face, which inexplicably made Yang Ling feel safe.

"Your Highness, I will always stand by your side and help you."

Upon hearing Yun'er's words, tears instantly streamed down Yang Ling's face.

However, his arms tightened even more, as if he wanted to merge the girl in his arms into his own bones and blood.

"I will not let you down!"

Yang Ling's firm voice rang out; he was determined to prove to everyone that he would never lose.

……

The two went shopping, and Yang Ling bought one of every beautiful piece of jewelry for Yun'er.

“Your Highness, there’s really no need to buy so many. Yun’er can’t wear that many.”

As she said this, Yun'er had a faint blush on her face.

Upon hearing her words, Yang Ling reached out and touched her hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.

"This is what you deserve."

After Yang Ling finished speaking, he took her hand and continued walking forward.

After touring Liangzhou, the two returned to the inn, only to find it surrounded by enemy forces.

Upon seeing this, a dark glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes.

"It seems some people are eager to die."

He said this in a very calm tone, without even the slightest ripple.

When Li Qing saw what was happening outside, his brows furrowed deeply, and he turned to look at Yang Ling.

"Your Highness, should I go down...?"

"No need. Since he's here, I'd really like to see who sent him."

His cold gaze swept over the soldiers at the door, a bloodthirsty smile curving his lips.

After hearing his words, Li Qing did not say anything, but simply stood respectfully to the side.

Yang Ling glanced at the soldiers standing around the inn, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. It seemed that someone was determined to kill him.

"Your Highness, it's been a long time."

Just then, a voice rang out, and Yang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, looking to the side.

A tall, slender figure slowly walked down from the second floor of the inn, looking as if he were drunk.

"Isn't this Minister Qi? How have you been?"

Yang Ling looked at the drunken man in front of her, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

When Minister Qi heard Yang Ling's words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Your Highness is as dashing as ever."

He wasn't sure if the other person was praising him, but as soon as those words were spoken, Yang Ling became somewhat impatient.

"Let's not dwell on the past. I just want to know what you mean by this."

Minister Qi chuckled a few times, then walked over to Yang Ling's side.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be angry. I have no ill intentions. I have only brought these brothers here to protect Your Highness."

When Minister Qi said this, he had a faint smile on his face.

"Hehe, Minister Qi is really joking. If it were really to protect me, there would be no need to make such a fuss."

Yang Ling snorted coldly, thinking that only a fool would believe what he was saying.

When Minister Qi saw that Yang Ling did not believe what he said, he laughed, a sinister look on his face. "Since everyone understands, then I won't waste any more words."

Yang Ling sneered, but didn't say anything. She just stood there and stared coldly at the other person.

Without further ado, Minister Qi immediately ordered his guards to rush forward.

"Take him!"

At Minister Qi's command, everyone rushed forward.

Yang Ling had anticipated this situation, so she did not show any panic. Instead, she calmly instructed, "Li Qing, protect Yun'er."

"I obey my orders!"

Li Qing quickly walked to Yun'er's side and shielded her tightly behind him.

Yang Ling walked towards Minister Qi with an indifferent expression, a faint smile on her lips.

"Minister Qi, what do you think His Majesty will say if I were to kill you today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minister Qi burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Who do you think you are, daring to threaten me? You're delusional!"

"Oh! Is that so? Then what does Minister Qi think I should do to shut you up?"

Yang Ling looked at the other person with an expression that was full of coldness.

Minister Qi sneered, his eyes filled with mockery and disdain as he looked at him.

"Do you think I'm easily intimidated?!"

Yang Ling curled her lips contemptuously, and without saying a word, she pulled out her pistol and aimed it at Minister Qi.

"I can give you a chance now. If you know what's good for you, kneel down and beg for mercy. Otherwise, you will only have death as your only option."

Minister Qi's expression changed slightly upon hearing his words, but he still forced himself to remain composed.

"Yang Ling, do you think I'm afraid of you? I'm acting under orders. Do you dare kill me?"
