A moment later, Yun Changfeng’s eyes were reddened.
A gust of wind blew.
Tears welled up in his reddened eyes.
Yun Changfeng thought to himself, "His three sensible grandsons, upon learning of the Night King's situation, even at their young age, began to ponder how they could help the Night King."
He could only hope that the current situation for Yun Shu and the Night King could be reversed.
To investigate everything thoroughly.
Qiu Lu suddenly approached Yun Changfeng and asked in a low voice, "Is General worried about the young lady and the prince?"
"I know they will resolve everything, but I still worry. One worries more with age," Yun Changfeng sighed with a hint of helplessness, lamenting his age.
Qiu Lu nodded vigorously, "The young lady and the prince will handle everything! Those who harbor malicious intentions will ultimately achieve nothing, losing both their wife and their soldiers."
Yun Changfeng stretched his back, "It’s getting late, let’s go back to sleep."
No matter how difficult a problem, it can be solved if one sets their mind to it.
It is merely a matter of time.
He needed to sleep well, as he had to train his three grandsons in martial arts tomorrow.
...
Deep in the night.
Within the Minister's mansion.
Qin Linglong looked at the items already laid out in the room, all of which were to be taken to the hunting grounds.
Her heart fluttered at the thought of meeting Prince Jin soon.
No one knew how excited she was.
Just as she was contemplating how to meet Prince Jin, heaven presented her with such an opportunity.
An opportunity that would allow her to meet Prince Jin in a legitimate manner!
That unparalleled, incredibly handsome man! The man who, with every gesture, could easily command allegiance! The man who would soon be her husband!
She would see him soon.
Qin Linglong's heart surged with a torrent of excitement.
"This time, I must learn from Prince Jin when he intends to have me enter the palace. I must get to his side first and seize the initiative. I cannot let Princess Ningde win his heart before I do."
The thought of becoming someone incredibly important in Prince Jin's heart brought a blush to Qin Linglong's cheeks, filling her with immense excitement.
She looked forward to it.
It was bound to be a beautiful event.
Too excited to sleep, Qin Linglong got out of bed and went to the bronze mirror.
The moonlight tonight was exceptionally beautiful, and the light in the room was sufficient to see her reflection clearly.
A delicate and pretty face.
Her eyes were filled with a sparkle.
As if this light lent her face an added touch of charm.
"Although I am not as beautiful as Princess Ningde, I believe Prince Jin is not someone who solely judges by looks. He sees a person's heart. I will make him see my heart and cherish it."
Qin Linglong sat before the bronze mirror, from evening to deep night, and from deep night to the early morning of the next day.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when all the families were to depart for the hunt.
The Pingyang Prince's mansion became bustling early in the morning.
The servants had already prepared all the necessary items over the past two days.
However, they still needed to be loaded one by one onto the carriages outside the mansion.
When the sky had fully brightened and breakfast was over, Yun Shu, Princess Ningde, and Zhen Lin walked out of the mansion, encountering Yun Yueyin.
This was the first time Yun Shu had seen Yun Yueyin in the Pingyang Prince's mansion since hearing Qin Yiqing speak that day.
After a long time, Yun Yueyin appeared almost the same as before, even more radiant than in the past.
Others addressed her as the Second Madam.
Zhen Xu was exceptionally doting towards Yun Yueyin, his arm draped around her shoulders as they walked.
The couple’s affectionate display made the surrounding maids envious.
Yun Shu, however, slowly curved her lips. Who was orchestrating Yun Yueyin's dazzling transformation in the Western Xia kingdom? Li De, or the Palace Master of the Assassin's Palace?
As Yun Yueyin was about to board the carriage with Zhen Xu, she couldn't help but glance at Yun Shu.
The woman Zhen Lin referred to as a miracle doctor.
She had noticed her earlier, but due to the presence of Princess Ningde and Young Master Zhen, she had only cast a casual glance. For some reason, after that glance, she felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
A sliver of ominous premonition arose in her heart.
This feeling left her somewhat bewildered.
She had merely seen a woman of ordinary appearance, why should she be nervous? Why should she have such a bad premonition?
So, as she boarded the carriage, she subtly glanced back and saw the woman's lips curved slightly upwards. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt as if that smile could see right through her.
She furrowed her brows tightly.
Zhen Xu noticed Yun Yueyin's unusual behavior and asked gently, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong?"
Why did Zhenzhen seem so absent-minded? And her hand, held in his, was cold and sweaty. Could it be that she was frightened by seeing that little vixen Ningde?
Hong Ling had told him that Ningde dared to threaten Zhenzhen!
She was merely a little vixen who played tricks! Just wait, one day, he would make Ningde kneel before them, humph!
Yun Yueyin shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."
As she settled into the carriage, she subtly glanced at Zhen Lin again.
Immediately, her heart gave a violent lurch. In just a few days, Zhen Lin looked so much more rosy-cheeked, his eyes bright, a completely different state from before.
Was that woman not a骗子 (liar/con artist)?
After settling into the carriage and lowering the curtain, Yun Yueyin tightly gripped Zhen Xu's arm and asked nervously, "Husband, do you notice that the Young Master's complexion has improved?"
Zhen Xu narrowed his eyes at her words and recalled carefully.
He hadn't paid close attention earlier.
Because he had always looked down on Zhen Lin, he didn't bother to pay him much mind. Now, reminded by Yun Yueyin, he finally came to his senses.
"I didn't pay much attention just now, but now that you mention it, I do realize his complexion has improved considerably! I've never seen any color in his face before! Zhenzhen, this might be serious. That woman truly has some skill to have saved Zhen Lin!"
Yun Yueyin gripped Zhen Xu's hand even tighter, her eyes flashing with a calculating and venomous light, "Husband, we absolutely cannot leave loose ends! Since that Ning Ruan is not a骗子, she must be eliminated!"
Zhen Xu's eyes narrowed, as if he had everything under control, "She's just a woman. I thought she was a female骗子 and let her make a scene in front of Zhen Lin. Now that she's not, she has no one to blame for her short life. Zhen Lin asked her to accompany him on the hunt, surely he doesn't intend to announce to the world that he has become a normal person? Zhenzhen, watch this, whether she's a divine doctor or a female骗子, I will ensure she never returns."
Upon hearing Zhen Xu's assurance, Yun Yueyin finally relaxed and said with a smile, "You are the person I trust most in this world, husband. No one can stop what you set out to do."
