The moment Gu Nuo Er ran over…
Ling Tianyin frowned. He wanted to remind the child that this youth seemed to be a cold-blooded person who killed without batting an eyelid.
However, on second thought, he realized that the two of them knew each other.
Moreover, what did Gu Nuo’er’s life have to do with him?
Ling Tianyin swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
Only his lips were pursed into a tight line.
Gu Nuo’er ran all the way and didn’t forget to lift her dress and jump up, pa.s.sing by the a.s.sa.s.sin in black who had fallen to the ground.
She immediately pounced into Ye Siming’s arms.
“Elder Brother Siming, you’re so late. I’ve already eaten two meals at a pretty consort’s place!”
When Ye Siming saw her, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.
The youth raised his long eyebrows slightly and took out a sugar cake wrapped in parchment paper from his pocket.
“I saw it on the way and bought it for you. That’s why I was a little delayed. Try it.”
Gu Nuo’er’s big watery eyes immediately lit up like a group of stars.
She reached out her small hand and took it. “Wow, it’s still hot!” The child quickly took a bite.
Hot black sesame paste flowed out, covering her pink lips.
Gu Nuo’er narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Under the sunlight, she looked like an obedient kitten.
“Delicious!”
Ling Tianyin was stunned.
General Zheng, whom he had sent, had brought many troops to surround Marquis Yongye!
However, not only was he not blocked outside the city gate now,
They even allowed him to successfully fight his way into their home ground.
Not only that, but Marquis Yongye actually had the time to casually buy sugar cakes for Gu Nuo’er?
Ling Tianyin was a little angry.
The two of them were coming and leaving as they pleased. Did they treat this place as their home?!
Ling Tianyin gritted his teeth and flew into a rage. “Do you guys still take me seriously?!”
Gu Nuo’er immediately looked up at him with her big watery eyes.
Then, distress flashed across the child’s fair face.
She sighed and generously divided the unfinished sugar cake into two.
The remaining half that she hadn’t touched was raised by her small hand and handed to Ling Tianyin.
“If you want to eat, just say it. Don’t lose your temper. It’s not good for your health!”
Ling Tianyin was speechless.
Ling Tianyin was speechless.
To think that he was misinterpreted to this extent!
Who said that he wanted to eat sugar cakes?
Coincidentally, at this moment, a large group of imperial guards arrived. Empress Zhong quickly walked over with her men. “Your Majesty!”
She saw an unfamiliar youth standing at the side. His right hand was stained with blood and he was even holding a broken sword!
Empress Zhong was shocked. She hurriedly waved her sleeve and scolded, “Take these a.s.sa.s.sins down!”
Ye Siming carried Gu Nuo’er into his arms.
The youth was about to counterattack when he heard the child’s soft voice.
“Emperor Ling, you can’t go back on your words! You promised me!” Everyone present was stunned.
Emperor Ling? Could it be that she was referring to the emperor?!
Ling Tianyin felt a little embarra.s.sed.
His face darkened. He really wanted to pinch Gu Nuo’er’s small face to vent his anger!
At this moment, his precious son, Ling Shen, was not around either. It would be easy for him to break his promise.
However, looking at Gu Nuo’er’s big black and watery eyes,
Ling Tianyin closed his eyes.
“Capture those a.s.sa.s.sins and bring them to the dungeon for interrogation.
Release these two people.”
In the end, he decided to keep his promise.
Otherwise, it would be unbecoming for him, Ling Tianyin, to go back on his word to a child.
Empress Zhong was very surprised. “Your Majesty! Who are these two people?” That youth’s eyes were sharp. He was clearly not a good person!
Faced with Empress Zhong’s question,
Ling Tianyin only replied succinctly, “The Great Qi’s Princess Yaoguang and
Marquis Yongye..”
