When Chi Yining woke up, she found it was dark. In the dim candlelight, she could vaguely see Yan Lingyun holding a pen.
"Your Highness, what time is it... no, what hour is it..." Chi Yining felt as if he were lying on a chaise longue in the study.
Yan Lingyun paused, "戌时 (7-9 PM)"
"Holy crap, I slept until 7 p.m., am I even going to get any sleep tonight?" Chi Yining rubbed his eyes, still half asleep. "Why didn't Your Highness wake me up for dinner?"
Yan Lingyun: "The princess is sleeping like a log, her breathing is steady, she is in a dream, and she has never thought about eating."
Chi Yining looked at Yan Guiyun's handsome face. Under the light, half of his face was hidden in shadow, creating a certain atmosphere.
Yan Lingyun frowned under the stare and put down her pen.
Chi Yining's lips curled up. "Let's go, let's go eat. Your Highness, do you think I look familiar?"
Yan Lingyun: "Mm."
8845: "...How did you even ask that!"
Chi Yining: "Can't I? But I really want to ask, why can't I?"
8845: "Host, you are indeed different from others. Other transmigrators would definitely bury this clue, but you dug it up yourself."
Chi Yining scoffed, "I told you, what if we're acquaintances? Right? It's just that I might have amnesia."
8845: "..." A little question every day, what should I do if the host is too smart?
Chi Yining: "If this dungeon runs keep dragging on, when will we ever finish one? I don't even know how time flows here. And I have this feeling that someone is waiting for me to summon them..."
8845:"……"
Chi Yining changed the subject: "Your Highness, have you caught the person who injured you? Have you caught the mastermind behind it?"
Yan Lingyun was pushed forward, her fists clenching inside her sleeves.
Seeing that the prince remained silent, Chi Yining decided to investigate himself.
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. I will help you get revenge."
Yan Lingyun: "No need."
Chi Yining wouldn't listen. He said, "That won't do. I like to do the opposite of what the prince does."
Yan Lingyun: "..."
"No need, I fear becoming a widow."
"Hahaha, Your Highness, you're so cute." This was the first time Chi Yining had ever seen the prince joke like this, and she really wanted to pinch his cheek.
……
A dark and stormy night for murder
After Chi Yining finished applying the medicine to the prince's leg and then used the system's sedative to knock the prince unconscious, she changed into the black clothes from the system space.
Even though he doesn't know any special martial arts skills, he has his own methods, and he can also use the invisibility function in the system.
He knew some clues, but wasn't sure, and now he was going to raid the palace at night to find them.
He arrived at the emperor's study in a silent, interstellar hovercar.
Technological devices are convenient to use. Chi Yining took out the detector and the entire structure of the palace was clear at a glance, so he also found the secret room in the emperor's study.
After receiving the agreement between the emperor and the neighboring country, Chi Yining smiled as he read through the entire page of paper.
Upon comparing the handwriting on the memorial, it was indeed the emperor.
Chi Yining recalled the prince's face and sighed inwardly. The prince was still too soft-hearted. Even though his imperial uncle had sent people to kill him, the first thing he did upon returning to the capital was not to rebel.
No wonder his corruption level is so high. It seems the prince already knew that his only relative was going to kill him. How could he be happy?
Chi Yining sneered and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.
The next morning
Chi Yining woke up in bed holding the prince; the two looked so inseparable that neither wanted to get out of bed. But they had no choice but to get up.
"Your Highness, I have something to report!"
"So noisy..." Chi Yining snorted unhappily. Yan Lingyun sighed and pushed his head away from his neck a little. "Your Highness..."
Chi Yining hugged his waist tighter again: "No... Your Highness, please sleep a little longer."
"Go to sleep, I have something to attend to..." Yan Lingyun gently stroked his head.
Chi Yining reluctantly let go.
A male voice came from outside again: "Report! Your Highness! The First Prince has sent the Imperial Guards to cause trouble!"
Yan Lingyun pinched the bridge of her nose, got up, washed, and dressed.
……
After hearing the guard's words, Yan Lingyun learned that the emperor had died suddenly in his palace the previous night.
He felt as if a shackle had been removed from him.
Then he recalled his princess's sleeping face, and remembered what she had said yesterday about taking revenge. He hadn't expected that his princess would actually seek revenge.
So decisive and straightforward, Yan Lingyun didn't even know what words to use to describe his princess.
Arriving at the reception room
"Yan Lingyun! Is Father's death related to you?!" The eldest prince asked, his eyes bloodshot, pointing at his nose.
Yan Lingyun merely raised his eyes slightly: "One must be mindful of evidence in one's words and actions. Does the First Prince have any evidence? Who is your teacher?"
Li Wenpei was so angry he wanted to die. The battle for the throne hadn't even started, and he had already lost. The crown prince was the third prince, so the third prince was the new emperor.
Their father was perfectly fine yesterday…he seemed like someone who could rule for another twenty or thirty years, so the brothers relaxed their guard. They never expected this day to come so suddenly. His first suspect was Yan Lingyun; it had to be him!
However, the men brought by the eldest prince were of no use and were immediately arrested.
At this moment, the General of the Imperial Guard also brought people in from outside. He was covered in cold sweat, bowed and clasped his hands: "Your Highness, the First Prince lost his mind because of the Emperor's sudden death. Your Highness, please don't be angry. I will take him back to keep vigil for the late Emperor."
……
After the princess woke up, the two of them also went to offer incense to the late emperor.
After getting into the car, Chi Yining whispered in his ear, "Do you think his soul will be even more restless if I go?"
Yan Lingyun turned his head away. He knew his city was about to fall. The moment he learned that the princess was avenging him, his heart trembled.
But this did not cause the prince to completely succumb.
It wasn't until after he returned from offering incense that Chi Yining took out the ointment and applied it to him for the third time.
After finishing, Chi Yining slapped Yan Lingyun's leg hard, and Yan Lingyun felt the pain and was able to move it again.
He sat up in disbelief, but then his avatar was hit by a storm... Ouch, he reached up and pinched it...
Chi Yining looked at him with a smile, "Your Highness... take a few steps."
Yan Lingyun's gaze returned to calm, and she obediently tried it. "Really... cured? What kind of miraculous medicine is it?"
8845: "Host!!!!!!!!! It's 20 now, it's dropped to twenty!"
Chi Yining didn't notice anything unusual about Yan Lingyun, only assuming that Yan Lingyun was so happy that his tone had become lively: "Sure enough, men are like that, as long as you treat them well."
8845: "Give us a strong dose!"
Chi Yining: "Huh? What suddenly..."
Before Chi Yining could react, Yan Lingyun suddenly leaned down and kissed him completely. He seemed to pry open his lips with great skill, domineeringly stealing even the air from his mouth.
Chi Yining felt miserable and almost suffocated, so she pounded his shoulder.
Yan Lingyun then released him, and instead pulled him to sit on the couch. His warm, moist breath brushed against his ear as he whispered like a devil, "Princess? Wife?... It seems we haven't had our wedding night yet."
Chi Yining's lips were sealed again: "Mmm...!!!"
