The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Du Mingxian: No, there are people watching you every time you come and go. How can we make proper arrangements? It would be too dangerous if we were discovered.

Ling Silang: There won't be any problems in the short term. Don't go to the Crown Prince's residence. It would be troublesome if you were discovered.

Du Mingxian: I won't be found out, don't worry. Go back and get ready, I'll go get the things tonight.

Those below watched as the two grew increasingly agitated, their fingers tapping the table faster and faster, clearly ready to start a fight.

Du Mingxian was angered by Ling Silang, and her tone was not very good. "You should go back first. I don't want to go anywhere for the next two days, so I won't go out with Lord Qi."

Before Ling Silang could say anything more, Du Mingxian stopped talking to him and directly picked up the teacup, saying, "Someone, see the guest out."

Ling Silang couldn't stay any longer. He only took one deep look at Du Mingxian before getting up and leaving.

Chun Tao asked in a low voice, "Miss, what were you doing just now? You were tapping on the table, and Lord Qi was also tapping, and... he was tapping very rhythmically."

"Huh? I just banged on the table?" Du Mingxian looked bewildered. "Maybe I was too excited when I was talking. It's a habit I've had since I was a child. My dad likes to bang on the table when he gets excited."

Although Chun Tao had her suspicions, she didn't say anything more. Du Mingxian's alarm bells rang again. It was too dangerous. She hadn't expected Chun Tao to be able to see through this.

Night fell quickly, and Du Mingxian went to bed early. When it was almost time, she quietly left the mansion. This time she was especially careful, and there were no problems on her way to the Crown Prince's residence.

She quietly climbed over the wall into the courtyard, only to encounter a patrol team. She quickly slipped into her spatial dimension and stealthily made her way to Ling Silang's courtyard.

When she arrived, all the lights in the room were off. She first sensed that there was no one special around, but she was still not entirely at ease. She walked around the courtyard to make sure no one was there before quietly entering Ling Silang's room.

No sooner had Du Mingxian entered Ling Silang's room than the Crown Prince received the news.

"Your Highness, someone is coming."

The crown prince, who had been leaning back, slowly sat up straight upon hearing this, then glanced down at the portrait on the table. "Help me change my clothes. I need to go out and have a look."

As soon as Du Mingxian entered the room, Ling Silang on the bed sat up in shock, his face turning green with anger. One of them rushed out, and the other rushed in. When they bumped into each other, Du Mingxian immediately pulled them into her space.

"I told you not to come, it's too dangerous, why are you so disobedient?" Ling Silang's heart was in his throat. "You know there are powerful people in the Crown Prince's residence, yet you still insist on coming. Are you playing with your life?"

"No, I'm worried about those medicinal herbs. I have to take them all away today. I won't feel at ease until they're gone." Seeing how angry he was, Du Mingxian's tone softened.

“I’ll say the same thing this afternoon: even if they capture me, it doesn’t matter. I still have space, I can hide. They’ll think I’ve escaped. But what about you? What are you going to do with those medicinal herbs? They’re all poison.”

Ling Silang really didn't know what to say, so he could only patiently explain, "We are being housed together in the Crown Prince's residence entirely for protection. Who would do anything to a low-ranking official like me? Besides, who would search this courtyard? You are being far too cautious."

"What if? I can't afford to gamble on that possibility."

Ling Silang reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Okay, okay, let's not gamble on this. Take the medicine and leave now. Let's not see each other for a while."

"Alright, I'll think of another way to deal with the poison. You'd better behave yourself lately and avoid arousing suspicion."

Ling Silang was also worried, "I could have done it properly, but I can't do it for a while now. I can't see you, and you still have Chun Tao by your side. That's what I'm most worried about."

"What are you afraid of? I still have my space, and you know my spiritual water, it can save my life." Du Mingxian wasn't worried about herself, only about Ling Silang.

"I'm fine, the main concern is you. You're in the officialdom, and the officialdom is ever-changing, so you have to be very careful."

Ling Silang understood her worries, just as he worried about her. "I know, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself."

The two lingered in the space for a while. Du Mingxian knew that she could not meet Ling Silang for a while. "I will discuss the border map with Lord Wen again."

"Okay, be careful."

"You're the one who should be careful."

Ling Silang gently squeezed her hand again. "Alright, go back quickly. Be careful. Don't worry when you leave the manor. Just walk straight out. Once you get to the street, find a corner and go directly into your space. You can even take a nap before leaving."

“I really want to go together. Since they’re here, I’m not afraid. I can protect myself if I go out. The main concern is you. They should know that I’m here to see you. That’s what’s scary.”

Ling Silang understood this principle. He wasn't afraid of being in danger himself, but he was afraid that something might happen to her. "Don't worry, I'll be fine for now. If something does happen, I still have you behind me."

Du Mingxian laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay."

After the two finished speaking, Du Mingxian put all the medicinal herbs into her spatial storage and then quietly left, intending to go directly to the Crown Prince's residence first.

But... who would have thought that they would be so frightened by the scene before them as soon as they stepped out of Ling Silang's courtyard?

The moonlight was hazy, and the other person didn't turn on any lights. Just standing there, Du Mingxian could smell a faint medicinal scent wafting from the air, and she could also smell the unusual breathing of the person standing in front of her.

He is a patient.

This is... the Crown Prince?

The sickly prince should be sleeping earlier to recover his health. Why is he standing here so quietly in the middle of the night? I was too anxious just now and didn't expect that the prince would be waiting for me here so openly.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to fight directly or leave, when she heard the Crown Prince standing in front speak, "Guests are welcome, why don't you leave?"

Du Mingxian was slightly taken aback. What did this mean? Did it mean they had no intention of arresting her? Or did they simply not fancy her at all?

She didn't answer, but just moved closer little by little.

The person standing behind the crown prince immediately stepped in front of him.

The Crown Prince raised his hand to block the guards, "Don't worry, Miss Wen won't hurt me. After all, Lord Qi is still staying inside."

Du Mingxian sensed danger; if she dared to do anything to him, Ling Silang would surely suffer.

This feeling of being controlled by others is really terrible.

"Let's take a walk."

She took two steps forward, but didn't get too close. She was afraid of causing trouble, and besides, the smell of medicine on the Crown Prince was really too strong, almost as strong as when she had just married Ling Silang.
