Ye Lingfeng spoke coldly. Shi Zhu behind him had already detoxified the poisoned subordinates. At this moment, many of his subordinates were staring at Helian Qianxun and the others with predatory eyes, just waiting for their master's order so they could fight these people again. If they hadn't been poisoned earlier, they wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat and disgraced their master.
"Oh, is that so? Actually, poisoning your people is being too lenient, considering you were the one who harmed mine."
After he finished speaking, he gripped Feng Qian's hand even tighter. Feng Qian's face flushed slightly. Why did this man keep calling her "his person" and "his person"? She wasn't even married to him yet! Thinking of this, she looked at Helian Qianxun warningly: "Helian Qianxun."
Helian Qianxun ignored her and continued to look at Ye Lingfeng: "It was wrong of me to destroy your things. How about this, I have a way to untangle the Soft Love Threads. Do you want to try it?"
When he spoke, all around fell silent.
Feng Qian was the first to react, and excitedly cried out while hugging Helian Qianxun's waist: "Qianxun, you have a way to untie the Soft Love Threads, you have a way to untie them?"
See? His treatment changed immediately. Before, they called him Helian Qianxun, but just because he had a way to untangle the Soft Love Silk, his treatment changed from Helian Qianxun to Qianxun. This made Helian Qianxun a little jealous, and he really wanted to see who the woman who was rumored to be more important than him was. Qian'er would mention her from time to time.
However, Helian Qianxun also knew that the woman named Hailing had helped Qian'er escape from the palace. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have met her. So he was quite grateful to the woman he had never met.
Feng Qian exclaimed excitedly, and Ye Lingfeng also came to his senses, looked at Helian Qianxun, and spoke in a deep voice.
"If Your Excellency has a way to help Ling'er break free from the 'soft love knot,' I will owe you one, and I will repay you in the future."
A vivid gleam flashed in Ye Lingfeng's eyes. If he could untie Ling'er's soft heartstrings, he would do anything.
Upon hearing this, Helian Qianxun's eyes flashed with admiration. This man was not bad, especially since he was the emperor of a country and highly capable. It wouldn't be bad to make him owe her a favor. Thinking of this, Helian Qianxun released Feng Qian, took a few steps over, stopped in front of Ye Lingfeng, and slowly spoke.
"This method of 'unraveling the tangled threads of affection' is very risky. Are you sure you want to do it?"
"Yes, I will try any possible solution."
“Alright,” Helian Qianxun nodded, then leaned closer and whispered to Ye Lingfeng. She finished quickly, took a step back, and stood still. Ye Lingfeng’s eyes flashed, his body radiant, and a smile appeared on his face: “Thank you, I owe you this favor.”
"Of course, I will definitely ask you for it if I need it in the future."
After Helian Qianxun finished speaking, he turned around and walked to Feng Qian's side. He reached out and took Feng Qian's hand, then led his men outside.
Feng Qian couldn't help but press, "Qianxun, how do you untangle the Soft Love Threads? How do you do it?"
Excitedly, she pressed for answers, but Helian Qianxun didn't tell her. Telling her wouldn't bring any good; if she blurted it out, her friend might not agree, because untangling the soft threads of love was a very risky thing, and everything depended on fate.
"It's late, you should go back to Wanxin Inn to rest."
"Qianxun, tell me, tell me, how do we solve this?" Feng Qian used her usual coquettish charm, but Helian Qianxun remained unmoved and pulled her all the way back to Wanxin Inn.
Ye Lingfeng stood motionless under the cover of night, surrounded by dazzling light, a smile on his face, a breathtakingly magnificent sight under the moonlight.
Shi Zhu and the others, unaware of what method Helian Qianxun had discussed with the master to break the curse, couldn't help but ask, "Master, what method was it?"
Seeing their master so happy, they were naturally happy too. However, because Helian Qianxun was acting mysteriously, they couldn't help but worry whether it was some kind of way to harm their master.
Ye Lingfeng turned around and walked up the steps. He didn't mention how to untie the Soft Love Threads. In fact, the method to untie the Soft Love Threads was extremely dangerous. If he didn't do it right, he could lose his life. But in order to remove the Soft Love Threads from Ling'er's body and for them to be together forever, he was willing to try even if there was only a one in ten chance.
"Okay, you'll know later."
Ye Lingfeng remained silent, which only increased Shi Zhu and the others' alarm and fear. However, since their master was silent, they had no choice but to walk into the study.
At Wanxin Inn, no one knew that Feng Qian had been kidnapped, nor did they know that Helian Qianxun had appeared. Helian Qianxun escorted Feng Qian back to her room at the inn, but did not leave. Instead, he lingered at her place for a long time, and even stole a couple of incense sticks before finally leaving Wanxin Inn satisfied.
Although he didn't say anything, Feng Qian knew he must be nearby, and thinking that made her feel much more at ease.
Tonight, as soon as she was abducted by Ye Lingfeng, Helian Qianxun's men appeared, indicating that he had been following her all along.
Thinking about it this way, she felt both sweet and depressed. She wondered how Helian Qianxun had told Ye Lingfeng how to untie the soft love threads. This thought tormented her for half the night, and she finally fell asleep at dawn.
After sleeping for a while, I heard Shi Mei's voice outside the door.
"Princess, Princess, it's time to get up."
When Shi Mei called her, Feng Qian woke up. Today was still the day her brother regained his memory, so how could she sleep? Although she hadn't slept all night, she was in great spirits. The only problem was that she was very nervous. She was worried about what would happen if her brother didn't regain his memory. Could she just watch him marry the daughter of a thief and live with her for the rest of his life?
Thinking about it this way, I felt inexplicably irritable, but I got up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Shi Mei. When Shi Mei looked up, she saw that Feng Qian's eyes were dark red, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well all night. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her and said, "Princess, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Feng Qian shook her head, not mentioning what happened last night.
Because she didn't know what Ye Lingfeng planned to do next, she decided to keep quiet and give Ling'er a surprise. She thought that Ye Lingfeng would definitely appear and remove the soft love threads binding Ling'er, so that the two of them could be together happily. With this thought in mind, Feng Qian felt happy again.
"Mei'er, I'm going to wash up. Go and tell Ling'er and the others."
"good."
Shi Mei nodded and went to tell Hai Ling that everyone had gotten up early today because Hai Ling had made preparations. If Sima Ye could regain his memory today, they would return to the capital with him. If he did not regain his memory, they would not wait any longer and would go directly back to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, leaving them here to slowly recover.
After washing up, the group left Wanxin Inn without having breakfast.
In the morning, there are very few customers at Wangjiang Tower, as it is a teahouse and there are hardly any people there.
So when Hai Ling and the others appeared, Xiao Er was a little surprised, but he still dutifully greeted them and led them upstairs to a private room on the second floor.
Sima Ye soon appeared and entered the private room. Shen Ruoxuan didn't say anything, but started using golden needles to acupuncture Sima Ye's acupoints. Inside the private room, everyone drank tea and ate snacks, waiting quietly. Half an hour later, Shen Ruoxuan withdrew the golden needles, looked at Sima Ye, and slowly spoke.
"Slowly close your eyes and start thinking, can you remember anything from the past?"
As soon as Shen Ruoxuan spoke, everyone in the private room stopped drinking tea and eating snacks, staring intently at Sima Ye, extremely nervous. Feng Qian, in particular, had her fingers trembling uncontrollably, fearing that Sima Ye hadn't regained his memories. The private room fell into a deathly silence; no one spoke.
Just then, a flurry of footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the door. Soon, the door to the private room was kicked open from the outside, and several figures appeared in front of it. The leader was aggressive and glared angrily at the people inside the private room. When his gaze fell on the man in the center, tears streamed down his face, and he burst into tears.
"Sima Ye, you've gone too far! What have I done wrong to deserve this? You actually came to see these strange people without telling me. Tell me, what have I done to wrong you? I served you wholeheartedly, bore your child, and stayed home quietly and obediently. And what do you do? You actually came here to see strange people, and you even did it secretly without telling me. You've really gone too far."
As soon as Liu Feixue appeared, she used her usual approach of crying, followed by talking about the child in her womb.
