When Ling Ze heard about the girl's feat of climbing a wall, he almost laughed his elegant mouth cramped.

I felt a mixture of emotions in my heart, as if I could hear the disorderly cries of the fence-sitter in my backyard in the wind.

He muttered to himself: "Are all girls so direct these days? But the little temple in my heart only worships the gentle Guanyin statue."

If she heard this, she would never look at him again.

No, we have to get her out of here quickly.

Although he thought so in his heart, his feet seemed to be equipped with springs and he rushed out in a flash.

The speed was several points faster than that of the well-trained hunting dogs in the mansion, and the flowers and plants along the way were so scared that they all lowered their heads to avoid it, for fear of being blown away by the sudden "wind".

"Oh my god, who is so bold as to climb walls and fly over rooftops in my Ling Mansion? I'm going to..."

Ling Ze was preparing to scold while running, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Because on the top of the wall, there was a figure whose smile was brighter than the spring sun - Liu Yaoyao.

"Haha, Master Ling, how are you? I just missed you, so I took a shortcut to come and see you."

Liu Yaoyao looked innocent and proud, as if what she was doing was not something as "disrespectful" as climbing over the wall, but was just a natural thing like visiting for tea.

Ling Ze's expression was so wonderful, from anger to surprise, and then to helplessness with a bit of doting, it was a real drama of face changing.

"You...you are not here to see me, you are here to tear down my wall!"

He complained, but his hand had already stretched out unconsciously.

I wanted to pull her down, fearing that she would accidentally fall. I felt really heartbroken.

"Hey, Brother Lingze, are you feeling sorry for the wall or for me?"

Liu Yaoyao took advantage of the situation and jumped, landing lightly, without forgetting to make a few teasing remarks. The cunning flash in her eyes made Ling Ze both angry and amused.

"Of course I feel sorry for you. The wall is not as pretty as you."

Ling Ze blurted out, and as soon as he finished speaking, both of them were stunned, and then they smiled at each other. The air was filled with an atmosphere of sweetness and awkwardness.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I came here this time to give you a surprise."

Liu Yaoyao restrained her smile and took out something mysteriously from her sleeve. It turned out to be an exquisite small wooden box.

"Guess what's inside?"

Ling Ze took the wooden box and opened it gently. Inside was an exquisitely carved jade pendant with their names engraved on it. The meaning was self-evident.

He looked up and met Liu Yaoyao's smiling eyes. At that moment, all his concerns and worries disappeared.

"Yaoyao, you..." Ling Ze's voice trembled slightly, and the emotions surging in his heart were difficult to express in words.

"What do you mean by 'I'? If you like it, just accept it. Don't tell me you're going to reject my sincerity in 'climbing the wall'!"

Liu Yaoyao winked playfully, and that look could simply melt anyone's heart.

Ling Ze looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he happily welcomed Liu Yaoyao into the study. As soon as he turned around, he reminded the maid to keep an eye on her.

As soon as she arrived at the study, Liu Yaoyao couldn't wait to ask, "Prince Ze, what do you think of that position?"

Ling Ze paused while pouring water, then smiled bitterly.

"What can I think? Look, I'm imprisoned."

Liu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "Look at what you said, I'm here now."

Ling Ze's slender fingers tapped lightly on the lid of the purple clay teapot. The sound of water gurgling seemed to echo this slightly awkward yet humorous conversation.

"Hey, Yaoyao, this is not just an ordinary 'coming', it's like you're coming with the force of wind and thunder, rushing straight into my dark little study. I'm afraid you're going to blow up this stuffy air."

When Liu Yaoyao heard this, her eyes lit up and she gestured exaggeratedly.

"Oh, I'm afraid you'll get bored in this golden cage, so I came here to add some spring to your study, so that the ancient books and ink fragrance in this room can be filled with some vitality."

Ling Ze shook his head and laughed, then handed her the brewed tea. The tea mist curled up, as if it could dispel a bit of the haze.

"Spring scenery? I think you want to turn my study into your crosstalk stage. But, after all, you didn't come to see me just to amuse me, did you?"

Liu Yaoyao took the teacup and moved closer to Ling Ze pretending to be mysterious, lowering her voice but unable to hide her excitement.

"Hey, seriously, I have brought you a glimmer of hope!"

Ling Ze raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised.

"Oh? Are you going to tell me that you found a secret passage to the door of freedom? Or are you going to use your eloquence to convince my father to let me out?"

Liu Yaoyao patted her chest.

"I don't have the ability to dig a secret passage, but as for convincing your father... that's not possible either, because your father has passed away."

Liu Yaoyao's words were like a bolt from the blue, yet also a bit absurd, causing the atmosphere in the study to freeze instantly.

The teacup in Ling Ze's hand trembled slightly and the tea almost spilled out, but he quickly adjusted his mood and raised a wry smile.

"Ahem, Yaoyao, your news is really... timely and explosive. However, since our father has passed away, I'm afraid we will have to make major changes to our plans."

Ling Ze pretended to be calm, but his heart was actually in turmoil.

Seeing this, Liu Yaoyao quickly waved her hands and explained.

"Oh, I wanted to give you a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock. But don't worry, the new emperor has ascended the throne, it's a good time for us to show our strength!"

Ling Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.

"Oh? Do you already have connections with the new emperor?"

Liu Yaoyao shook her head proudly, as if her tail was about to reach the sky.

"Of course! With the new emperor on the throne, there is a lot of work to be done and talents are needed. But at the same time, there will definitely be a massacre."

When Ling Ze heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"So, we can take this opportunity to make a comeback?"

Liu Yaoyao slapped her thigh and almost jumped up with excitement.

"That's right! What we need to do is to perform well in front of the new emperor and let him know that you, Ling Ze, are not only a good fighter, but also a pillar of the country!"

So, the two began to plot a new plan.

Liu Yaoyao suggested that the first thing to be resolved was Ling Ze’s current identity issue of imprisonment. She planned to use her network of connections to give the new emperor a "big gift".

"As for this 'great gift', it depends on your wisdom."

Liu Yaoyao smiled slyly and turned her gaze towards Ling Ze.

Ling Ze pondered for a moment, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, let's stage a fake death! After I die, you will present some of the spoils and strategic maps I have accumulated at the border to the new emperor in my name, along with a secret letter. That way, we can get out."

Liu Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and then she shook her head.
