Chapter 154: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Wen Yang pulled Ling Han to sit at the table with a smile on his face. Qiu Ju was about to go forward to make tea when Yaoyao and Zhuozhuo came forward and pulled her.
Before Qiuju could even ask, the two men covered her mouth and dragged her out...
Only the sound of the door closing remained, and only Wen Yang and Ling Han were left in the bedroom.
Ling Han took Wen Yang's hand, gently placed it in his palm and stroked the back of Wen Yang's hand. He raised his eyes and asked with concern, "Did anyone give you any trouble when you entered the palace today?"
Feeling the warmth from Ling Han's palm on the back of her hand, Wen Yang's heart couldn't help but beat faster. She pretended to be calm and asked, "You came to the palace specially to ask me this last night?"
Ling Han did not deny it, but instead asked, "Is it not possible?"
Such straightforwardness made Wen Yang slightly stunned. Then a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she told Ling Han the details of her meeting with the Queen Mother in the morning.
When Ling Han heard that the Queen Mother was actually threatening Wen Yang, his expression suddenly darkened, and a hint of coldness unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
Wen Yang also noticed the change in Ling Han's expression, so she gently pulled Ling Han's hand and said, "Don't worry, she is just testing me. Ling Guo is standing behind me. She needs to think carefully before she touches me. Besides, don't you still stand behind me?" After saying that, Wen Yang winked at Ling Han playfully.
When Ling Han saw Wen Yang like this, the expression on his face eased a little.
Ling Han then spoke to Wen Yang earnestly, "The Queen Mother has been in close contact with the General's Mansion recently. Her brothers in the General's Mansion have all been granted the title of Marquis without any merit. There is a high possibility of changes in the palace recently..."
After hearing this, Wen Yang's expression became a little serious.
If the situation is as Ling Han said, then the Queen Mother is likely planning a coup...
"Wait for me." Wen Yang said softly, stood up, took out a token from a box in a cabinet, turned around and put it into Ling Han's hand.
Ling Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this...?"
"This is the token that can mobilize the Iron Eagle Guards. The Queen Mother is wary of them, so they are currently stationed outside the palace. They can't enter the palace for the time being anyway. If you need help, use this token to mobilize them. They are all masters of leading troops and fighting trained by my uncle."
Ling Han did not refuse. After all, the more combat power he had, the greater his chances of success. He clenched the token in his hand and said, "Thank you."
Wen Yang smiled and waved at him, "With our relationship, there's no need to talk about this."
Ling Han put the token into his arms and kept it.
When Wen Yang was about to sit down again, Ling Han suddenly reached out and grabbed one of Wen Yang's arms. With a gentle pull, Wen Yang fell defenselessly onto Ling Han's thigh.
As soon as Wen Yang lowered her head, she could see Ling Han's drooping eyelashes, and the next moment, her eyes met a pair of slightly hazy eyes.
The originally clear male voice was now tinged with a hint of hoarseness. Ling Han spoke almost close to Wen Yang's ear: "So, what should we say about our relationship?"
At such an intimate distance, Wen Yang wanted to look away in panic, but her eyes met the bronze mirror on the dressing table behind her. She looked at herself in the mirror, and at this moment her eyes seemed to contain a pool of spring water, so sparkling that it seemed to be overflowing.
She twisted uncomfortably on Ling Han's legs and tried to stand up, but Ling Han's hand around her waist prevented her from moving.
Wen Yang suddenly remembered that something similar had happened before. Back in the backyard, Ling Han had also held her in his arms in such a domineering manner and refused to let go.
She blushed and whispered, "Let me go."
However, this time Ling Han did not let her go immediately like last time. Instead, he tightened his arms around her waist.
He opened his thin lips slightly and uttered two words slowly: "Don't let go."
Then he raised one hand and lifted Wen Yang's chin, "Ayang, given our relationship, if I don't say thank you, then what should I say?"
“Say…say…” Wen Yang stuttered, feeling a hot atmosphere all around him.
Seeing that Wen Yang couldn't answer, Ling Han, as if on purpose, almost touched Wen Yang's earlobe with his lips and asked softly, "What did you say?"
Feeling the heat coming out of the lips, Wen Yang's ears felt itchy and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
She now completely understood that this was Ling Han's true nature. He had only been pretending to listen to her before! What a big-tailed wolf!
Thinking of this, Wen Yang decided to go all out. He simply steeled himself, closed his eyes tightly, quickly moved closer to Ling Han's face, and pecked the corner of his lips.
Then Wen Yang felt Ling Han's hand around her waist loosen a little, as if he was stunned after she kissed him secretly.
Wen Yang took advantage of this gap, kicked his feet lightly, and got out of Ling Han's legs.
Then she quickly distanced herself from Ling Han, lowered her eyes and whispered, "You asked me to speak, but I didn't know what to say, so I expressed it through my actions..." After saying that, Wen Yang lowered her head even lower.
Ling Han glanced at the tip of Wen Yang's ear, which had turned red from being burned, and curled the corners of his lips, giving up the idea of teasing Wen Yang any further.
He stood up and said, "Knowing that you are okay today, I am relieved. I will leave first today. When you walk around the palace later, remember to bring Yaoyao and Zhuozhuo with you. If anything happens, they can protect you for me."
Wen Yang felt slightly relieved when he saw Ling Han had returned to his usual serious self.
She nodded and murmured "OK".
Just as Ling Han was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned around and asked, "By the way, what did my fifth brother say to you just now?"
Wen Yang was slightly stunned when he heard the title "Fifth Brother", and then he realized that Ling Han was asking about the little emperor.
"He didn't say anything, he just asked about your situation in Jiang Country." Wen Yang replied.
"My situation?" Ling Han frowned after hearing this.
"Yes, he said he just wanted to know if you were doing well in Jiang Country. If you were safe, he would be relieved." Wen Yang said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Ling Han's expression became thoughtful. He didn't have much connection with his fifth brother because his mother wasn't of noble status. That's why he was chosen by the Queen Mother and became a puppet that was easy to control.
So why was he so concerned about her situation? Was the Queen Mother manipulating him to gather intelligence?
Wen Yang glanced at Ling Han's expression and immediately guessed what Ling Han was worried about.
"He didn't ask about other things just now. I told him that as long as you behave yourself in Ling Country, Ling Country will not make things difficult for you."
"And after hearing that, his expression seemed to be one of relief for your safety..." Wen Yang spoke hesitantly and told Ling Han about his recent conversation with the little emperor.
After hearing this, Ling Han's expression returned to his usual calm demeanor. "Okay, I understand. You should rest early. If you encounter any problems in the palace that cannot be resolved, send Yaoyao or Zhuozhuo to pass on the message to me. They know the inside story of the palace."
"it is good."
After Wen Yang agreed this time, Ling Han did not stay any longer. He took advantage of the cover of night, bypassed the patrolling imperial guards, and left the palace safely.
