He can actually knock someone unconscious; you have to be quick and the drug has to be strong.

That's really impressive.

Seeing Du Mingxian's proud expression, the Crown Prince became furious. "Alright, alright, if you have something to say, just say it. If not, go find him directly. It's making my teeth hurt."

"There is a spy among His Highness's men."

"Ah."

"This is aimed at Your Highness; someone doesn't want Your Highness to ascend the throne."

"Ah."

Seeing that even the Crown Prince knew, Du Mingxian wanted to say more, since they were just ordinary people and talking about the Crown Prince would only annoy people. "Your Highness, I'm going to find my husband and then go home."

Seeing that she was about to leave, the crown prince called out to her, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"Doesn't Your Highness already know?"

"You..." The Crown Prince was speechless. He wanted to hear Du Mingxian say a few more words, but she stopped talking.

Seeing his state, Du Mingxian thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the matter of my husband coming to see you today must not be revealed."

"Don't worry, I've already made the arrangements, no one will know."

The Crown Prince spoke without conviction. Mr. Feng was deeply trusted by him and had been in the Crown Prince's residence for many years. He was afraid that there might be traitors in his residence, so he could not guarantee that the news would not be leaked.

"How about I arrange two more people for you?"

"No need, Your Highness. Your Highness's situation is even more difficult than ours right now. We... will find a way to protect ourselves and not cause Your Highness any trouble."

The Crown Prince said, "Alright, go find him. If anything happens after you leave, come find me immediately."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian left. She only asked the guards a few questions before sneaking over there. The Crown Prince's residence was not safe now, so she couldn't go there openly.

Knowing that the Crown Prince had given the order, the guards had already quietly moved away the people guarding Ling Silang. Du Mingxian easily slipped into the guest room and then directly sent Ling Silang into the space.

They left the Crown Prince's residence quietly.

Once home, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went into her spatial dimension to wait for Ling Silang to wake up.

As I waited, I got sleepy and then just went to sleep.

Ling Silang woke up in the middle of the night and found himself in the space. He was very happy to see Du Mingxian lying next to him. He felt relieved and turned around to hug her and continue sleeping.

Du Mingxian was being held, and with one eye open and the other closed, she saw him wake up. She mumbled sleepily, "You're awake. Sleep a little longer, it's probably still dark."

"Okay." Ling Silang gently kissed her forehead, then held her contentedly as they slept.

Du Mingxian looked up and kissed his chin before going back to sleep.

Ling Silang was so itchy that he wanted to take advantage of Du Mingxian, but seeing how soundly she was sleeping, he had to suppress all his lustful thoughts.

I held him and he continued to sleep.

Nothing much happened the next day. They had been on edge all day, but now that the remaining matters were no longer their concern, the two of them slept in late.

When Du Mingxian woke up, it was already eleven o'clock. Ling Silang had been awake for a long time and had even cooked for her.

"Get up, wash up, and have breakfast."

"Great, I'm so lucky today, I get to eat something ready-made."

Ling Silang was still a little upset. "Then I'll ask you or my sister-in-law to teach me cooking next time, so you can eat even better food and double the happiness."

Du Mingxian quickly planted a kiss on his lips, then pulled away just as fast as she could. "Your lips are so sweet this early in the morning, as if you've put honey on them."

Having endured all night, Ling Silang could no longer resist such teasing. He immediately grabbed Du Mingxian's head and pressed his own head down with hers.

Du Mingxian hurriedly backed away, refusing to kiss him no matter what, and even covered her mouth with one hand, saying, "No, you can't, I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"I don't mind." Ling Silang really wanted to kiss him.

Du Mingxian kept shaking her head, "No, no, no, you don't mind, but I do. You don't dislike me, but I dislike you." After saying that, she pushed Ling Silang away and ran to wash up.

Ling Silang shook his head helplessly and turned to get the food.

When Du Mingxian finished washing up and was about to eat, Ling Silang leaned forward and demanded a deep kiss. Only after a slight satisfaction did he release her and let her eat.

Du Mingxian glared at him with dissatisfaction, "You really are..."

"I don't want to wait a moment longer. If I hadn't seen how tired you were last night, I would have already taken advantage of you."

Du Mingxian rolled her eyes elegantly. "Alright, hurry up and eat. I won't have any work to do anymore. I'll be at home every day. You'll have plenty of opportunities."

"Okay." These words were an encouragement to Ling Silang.

They've been very busy lately. When they're not busy, they're at home, and An'an always sleeps with them, so... it's quite inconvenient.

He hadn't really had much intimacy with Du Mingxian, and now that Du Mingxian had said this, he was quite satisfied.

The two talked about the Crown Prince while they were eating.

“You were too impulsive yesterday. The Crown Prince had you knocked unconscious. When I went to find you, the Crown Prince explained it to me so that you would know.”

Ling Silang isn't stupid. When he woke up last night and saw Du Mingxian beside him, his intelligence returned, and he naturally thought about how impulsive he was at the Crown Prince's residence.

“I know that the Crown Prince’s actions were correct, but… I also used a sleeping potion to knock out Your Highness’s people. I’m afraid Your Highness might mind.”

Du Mingxian chuckled, "If a person in a high position doesn't have a broad vision, how can he govern the world? Don't worry, the fact that you can drug his people proves that you are very capable. The Crown Prince's secret guards are probably in for a bad time."

“Once the Crown Prince finishes his busy period, the secret guards will probably need to improve themselves again.”

Ling Silang also laughed, "I'd better go to the Crown Prince's residence less often in the future, I'm really afraid those people will retaliate against me behind my back."

"As long as you are still useful to the Crown Prince, those secret guards probably won't dare to do anything to you, so don't worry. Our situation is still good. Now we just need to ensure that the Crown Prince ascends the throne smoothly."

At this point, Du Mingxian lost her confidence. "But given the current situation... the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne probably won't be so easy."

Ling Silang also thought of this, "This is only because the emperor abdicated voluntarily. With the emperor in charge, if something were to happen to the emperor... I'm afraid things would become even more turbulent."

"Now I just hope everything goes smoothly. The forces behind this are quite powerful and have a very long reach."

Du Mingxian had heard about Mr. Feng's affairs, and... Mr. Feng was a high-ranking official in her previous life, the emperor back then, and now... a high-ranking official of the Third Prince.

Previously, when the Crown Prince was ill, he had already passed away by the time she arrived in the capital.

The Third Prince was willing to use and even heavily rely on the people left behind by the former Crown Prince. This was seen by many as a sign of goodwill, magnanimity, and the Third Prince's capacity for tolerance.

Therefore... Mr. Feng's disappearance is probably related to the Third Prince.

But she dared not say it. Based on her life experience, she was probably unaware of the situation in the capital. The Crown Prince had not yet found out who Mr. Feng's real master was.

Is the fact that she can say it because she feels she hasn't died fast enough?
