Chapter 147: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Because Wen Yang fell towards the ground, she did not see who was holding her in his arms.
She just felt that embrace trembling slightly, and vaguely felt that this embrace was somewhat familiar...
Immediately, Wen Yang heard a cold voice from above: "Chase him! Bring that bandit here and chop him up for burial!"
"Yes!" After hearing Ling Han's order, the nearby people in black quickly chased in the direction where the bandit leader had just escaped.
Wen Yang's eyes welled up with warmth almost the moment she heard the voice, because she had recognized the owner of the embrace by the voice.
Unexpectedly, the person who had been following her and secretly protecting her was actually Ling Han...
After the masked men went after the bandit leader, the forest returned to silence.
Wen Yang was held tightly in Ling Han's arms, and he could feel that Ling Han's trembling had not stopped yet.
Just as Wen Yang was hesitating whether to break the silence, he heard Ling Han's voice beside him: "We were just a little bit closer and we could be together..."
Hearing Ling Han's words, Wen Yang's breathing stagnated and he immediately stopped the sound he was about to make.
Then Ling Han continued to speak softly: "If I had known you were still alive, I should have taken you with me when I was in the hunting ground... If I had brought you back with me at that time, you wouldn't have experienced such a dangerous thing as the marriage..." There was a hint of self-blame in his voice.
Wen Yang could clearly feel Ling Han holding her tighter, so tight that she was almost breathless.
"I no longer have my mother, and now I've lost you too. Even if I regain the throne in the future, who will take the position of empress?" Ling Han was still murmuring in Wen Yang's ear, his tone sounding very lonely.
Afterwards, Wen Yang heard Ling Han speak in a very firm tone, as if he had made up his mind, "Don't worry, I will definitely catch the bandit who killed you and tear him into pieces!
After hearing this, Wen Yang finally understood why Ling Han left.
The court of Jiang State was complicated, and she had heard some things from her father, so she had some understanding of them.
After the death of the previous emperor of Jiang State, the young fifth prince was supported by the queen mother to ascend the throne. However, he did not actually have the power of an emperor, but became a puppet in the hands of the queen mother who controlled the court.
It's understandable that Ling Han, acting as a front for the Jiang Kingdom, wanted to overthrow the Queen Mother's rule. He must have endured many hardships beyond her imagination, plotting this alone in a foreign land... Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived at the Princess's residence as a convict slave...
Thinking of this, Wen Yang gently raised her arms that were hanging at her sides and hugged Ling Han. She chuckled and said, "Ling Han, if you really take back the throne, I can still sit on the throne of Jiang Kingdom's Queen."
As soon as Wen Yang finished speaking, she clearly felt the body holding her suddenly shake.
Ling Han loosened his grip on Wen Yang a little, and looked down at his arms in shock. The moment his eyes met Wen Yang's smiling ones, the shock in his eyes immediately turned into ecstasy. He spoke in a trembling voice: "You..., you're still alive!" There was joy in his voice that had been lost and regained.
Wen Yang looked at Ling Han tenderly and replied softly, "Yes, I'm still alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Han once again hugged Wen Yang tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to confirm whether her existence was real.
Wen Yang felt a little overwhelmed by the force of the embrace. Just as she was about to tell Ling Han that she was short of breath, she heard Ling Han whisper in her ear, "You don't know how scared I was when I saw you fall just now. You were already dead on the cliff last time. This time, I finally got the news that you were still alive, but I just thought I was going to lose you forever again..."
Wen Yang gently stroked Ling Han's back and spoke softly to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here. I'm fine. Besides, I agreed to the marriage because I wanted to come to Jiang Country to find you..."
Hearing this, Ling Han asked with some confusion: "To find me?"
Wen Yang nodded. "When you disappeared, I sent people to search for you for a long time under the cliffs of the hunting grounds. The order given to them was to find you alive or dead, but they didn't even find your body. So I guess you are very likely not dead..."
"Then how did you know I was in Jiang Country?" Ling Han asked the question in his mind.
Wen Yang smiled slightly and explained, "Ever since you disappeared, I've been secretly making inquiries. Later, I went to Xunlu Tower and learned that your group of criminal slaves had collided with the carriage of the Jiang State hostage when he entered the city. So, I went to the Honglu Temple to check the portrait of the Jiang State hostage, and recognized your identity by the red mole under your eye in the portrait."
After hearing this, Ling Han covered his brow with one hand and sighed helplessly, "You're really reckless! Just based on this, you came to Jiang Country to look for me. If you don't find me and enter the Jiang Country Palace, how will you escape if you encounter danger?"
Wen Yang heard the worry and helplessness in Ling Han's words. She gently reached out a hand, took Ling Han's hand that was covering his brow, and took it into her own. She said softly, "I know this plan is risky, but I'm not unprepared."
After a pause, Wen Yang continued, "Besides, I am not alone. Behind me are my father, the emperor, my mother, the queen, and the entire Ling Kingdom. As long as the Ling Kingdom is not destroyed, the Jiang Kingdom will not dare to do anything to me."
"Besides, I wanted to find you because I wanted to express my feelings to you in person..." Wen Yang's voice became softer and softer as he spoke...
When Ling Han lowered his eyes, he saw Wen Yang's shy look.
Although he still couldn't stop worrying about Wen Yang, he also admired her courage and spirit. When they first met, his impression of her was just a fickle woman.
, a spoiled princess who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, but now in his eyes, Wen Yang is much more dignified and brave than he initially thought. Even when facing vicious bandits, she remains calm and there is no fear on her face. Instead, she is very calm.
He sighed, and took Wen Yang into his arms again. He deliberately chuckled and asked, "What are your feelings towards me now, Your Highness?"
Hearing Ling Han's words, Wen Yang's face turned even redder. She stammered, "It's...it's that kind of sentiment..."
Ling Han feigned confusion and pondered for a moment, "Hmm... If Your Highness doesn't explain it more clearly, I won't be able to understand."
Wen Yang realized that Ling Han was asking knowingly, so she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I...I like you! Do you understand?"
After hearing Wen Yang's answer, Ling Han chuckled and embraced Wen Yang again. He lowered his head and rested his chin on Wen Yang's shoulder, whispering in Wen Yang's ear, "Then we can be considered to be in sync this time..."
