Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan had been letting him do as he pleased since he appeared, without saying a word or resisting.

Xiao Muyao also watched quietly from the side.

Seeing that He Jingchuan had finally calmed down, Lingyan patted his back to comfort him, saying, "I'm back safe and sound, it's alright!"

Upon hearing this, He Jingchuan's body gradually stopped trembling, but he still hugged her for a while before reluctantly letting go.

Then, both he and Xiao Muyao stared at her intently, unwilling to look away even for a moment.

Although Lingyan was not as deeply in love as they were, she still expressed her understanding and indulgence towards them.

Half a year is indeed a long time for them.

Lu Yanqing was still interrogating a prisoner in the interrogation room when he received the news.

At that time, he was sitting comfortably in his chair, quietly sipping his tea.

Upon receiving this news, his hand trembled violently, and the teacup slipped from his grasp, shattering on the ground.

A storm was brewing in those usually calm eyes.

Then he hurriedly got up, not even having time to straighten his clothes, and quickly walked out of the interrogation room.

He then hurried along the road, and the journey from the imperial prison to the Crown Prince's residence felt like an eternity.

When he finally saw Ling Yan, his world seemed to stand still for a moment.

He stood there, stunned, staring at her without blinking.

His heart was pounding like a drum, the sound buzzing in his ears.

He began to walk slowly toward Lingyan, each step so difficult yet so determined.

His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he was completely unaware of it.

He walked towards her step by step, each step seemingly using all his strength.

When he was only a few steps away from Lingyan, his legs seemed to lose all strength, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

But he used all his strength to steady himself.

When he finally arrived in front of Lingyan, he slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch the person who was so close yet so far away.

So he gently raised his hand and tenderly stroked her cheek.

Her voice was soft and trembling as she said, "You're finally back. I've missed you day and night for the past six months."

At this moment, his eyes began to redden, and tears kept welling up in his eyes.

He tried desperately to hold back, not wanting to lose his composure in front of Lingyan.

But the overwhelming emotions engulfed him like a tidal wave.

Finally, the first tear welled up and rolled down his pale cheek.

Immediately afterwards, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, unstoppable.

Every tear contained his endless worry and waiting over the past six months.

Then he lunged forward and hugged Lingyan tightly in his arms.

He buried his face in Lingyan's hair, tears streaming down his face, wetting her hair.

She sobbed as she said, "These days, I've missed you every moment. Every time I close my eyes, your image appears in my mind. Your departure was like a deep wound in my heart. Now that you're back, my heart has come back to life."

His voice trembled violently, and every word was filled with boundless affection.

His heart was filled with complex emotions such as ecstasy, longing, and fear of loss.

These emotions translated into action, causing him to hold Lingyan tightly in his arms.

It was as if, once released, Lingyan would drift away like a flower petal in the wind.

In that long embrace, he greedily savored the real feeling of having Lingyan in his arms.

He poured all his affection and deep feelings into this embrace.

It was a deep dependence on Lingyan, and a fear of being separated from her again.

He held her like that, as if he wanted to convey his love for her without reservation through this embrace, reluctant to end this tender moment.

Lingyan just held him like that and let him vent his anger.

After he had vented his anger, she joked, "What's wrong with you three? You've all become little crybabies today."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanqing immediately wiped away her tears with both hands in a panic.

Then he gently released her, stubbornly insisting, "It wasn't me! I didn't cry, it was the two of them who were crying."

The tears on Xiao Muyao and He Jingchuan's faces had long since dried.

Upon hearing him say this, the two of them gave him a look, letting him figure it out for himself.

Who cried the loudest?

Lingyan found this quite amusing and laughed out loud.

At this moment, Lu Yanqing said coquettishly, "Yanyan, those two have monopolized you for half a year. You promised to share your love equally, so we're going to monopolize you for just as long."

Lingyan smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course it's the right thing to do. Otherwise, why do you think they left after bringing me back? It was so you could have a good time to ease your longing for them. Besides, I missed you both very much too!"

Although I don't think about them often, I didn't think about them at all during those two months in Xuan Yue.

But she did miss them a little.

And the closer they get to the capital, the more they want to go.

Not only do we miss them physically, but we also miss their bodies!

The three of them naturally understood that her longing was nothing compared to theirs.

But even with Shen Qingchen and Chu Xiyao by her side, she could still remember them and miss them.

They were already completely satisfied and overjoyed.

From that day on, they were like seedlings receiving rain after a long drought, their bodies like a gentle breeze, silently brushing against each other's leaves, conveying the vitality of life and a deep affection.

Their hearts are like hidden roots, tightly connected underground, sharing the source of life.

Their every subtle movement is like a delicate touch between roots, telling of their deep affection and endless longing for each other.

Their bodies, like soft halos of light, silently intertwined to form a beautiful star map.

Their hearts are like the gravitational pull between stars; though unseen, they are powerful and profound, drawing them together.

Together we spin and dance in the abyss of the universe.

...............

Xie Zhiyi and the Ninth Prince's wedding date was set for December 28th.

The day before their wedding, the three princesses and the bride-to-be arrived at the Crown Prince's residence.

It was Lingyan who sent a message for them to come.

Originally, considering that the Seventh Princess was pregnant and the weather was so cold, I specifically told her that she didn't need to come to the mansion.

Unexpectedly, she still came.

Seeing this, Lingyan didn't want to blame her, so she carefully helped her into the hall.

Then they made her sit on a soft couch and placed several layers of cushions behind her.

At that time, the Eighth Princess, the Ninth Princess, and Xie Zhiyi had already taken off their thick cloaks and were sitting in the hall, dressed lightly.

Because the house not only had a heated floor, but also high-quality red charcoal.

This type of charcoal is hard and durable, and burns to a grayish-white color without exploding.

It burns with a strong flame and produces no smoke, so there is no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Therefore, the temperature inside the hall was actually quite high, so the three of them hurriedly took off their cloaks.

Then the servants served them hot tea and pastries.

Then they started chatting.
