When Wen Ning heard what he said, she couldn't help but think of Qi Weiming's character - he has always been a man of great sense of justice. If she told him the truth, he would surely understand that she had to do this and that she had no other way to go. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also very sincere and was willing to help her in this way.

She nodded, her voice soft and a little ashamed, "Your Highness is right. I did worry about some personal feelings just now. The most urgent thing now is to solve the current problem. Zhao Yan will definitely understand... Thank you for your advice, Your Highness."

Xiao Yunci smiled when he heard this, "Miss Wen is very sensible and knowledgeable. I really didn't make a mistake in her."

Chapter 23

When Wen Ning heard what Xiao Yunci said, although she knew it was just a polite remark, she couldn't help but feel a little hot in her ears.

She said solemnly, "I only hope that Your Highness will not expose my father's old subordinates. As for the rest, I will do my best. Please keep your promise."

"Of course." Xiao Yunci said without hesitation, "Even if my life is in danger in the future, I will never involve them."

Hearing this, Wen Ning felt relieved.

She was completely relieved and relaxed a little. She said softly, "I am willing to get married."

Her voice is gentle and pleasant, soft and sweet, like a sweet and glutinous cake.

Xiao Yunci looked at her with his dark brown eyes and was silent for a long while.

She stood a few steps away from him, and seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, as if she was afraid that he would regret it, she couldn't help but look up at him.

Xiao Yunci's eyes moved slightly and he looked away.

"good?."

"I will take care of the rest, don't worry."

His tone sounded the same as usual, as if he was just talking to her about something very simple, but there was a hint of emotional restraint in his words, which was almost unnoticeable if you didn't listen carefully.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wen Ning slowly knelt down in front of him, "May everything go well for you, Your Highness."

In this room only bathed in moonlight, Xiao Yunci stood tall with her hands behind her back. Her eyes were as deep as ink, enveloping her entire body in the darkness.

At an angle she couldn't see, he raised the corner of his mouth and quietly watched her salute him. There was a hint of smile in his voice, "Thank you for your good wishes, Miss Wen."

In the darkness, a high palace wall appeared in sight, dividing the moon and the sky into two.

Wen Ning watched Xiao Yunci's tall figure slowly disappearing outside the window. As soon as he reached the corner, two figures suddenly appeared, as silent as ghosts, and knelt down to salute him respectfully... Those two figures might be the people who had been lurking near Yong'an Palace?

Xiao Yunci raised his hand casually, and the two men disappeared into the darkness without making a sound.

She took a deep breath and realized that cold sweat had soaked her back. Negotiating terms with Xiao Yunci was really exhausting. Uncle Lin was right. This man was indeed very smart and would reveal his true colors in front of him if she wasn't careful. He had no secrets at all.

She didn't know how many tricks he had up his sleeve.

If Uncle Lin and the others had gone against Xiao Yunci before, they would definitely not get anything good. No wonder Uncle Lin had such a strong opinion of Xiao Yunci before.
