Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1181: It’s a Miracle You’re Still Alive

Qiu Tang was shocked, Yun Qinglian was still chaste, and the Eldest Prince was the one with the deepest scheming?

"What evidence do you have?"

Qin Yi laughed, "I don't know about anything else, but I met the Eldest Princess. Even though she was in disguise, I could still tell that she was chaste. As for the Eldest Prince, I haven't met him, but I trust Yun Qinglian's word. Think about it, why would the Emperor raise a mediocre and incapable person to contend with Yun Baixuan and Yun Qinglian?"

Qiu Tang was silent for a long time before she slowly said, "They are all master actors, I almost got fooled by them. Thanks to your keen eyes, it looks like I need to reinvestigate these two people."

"You investigate the Eldest Prince. Leave Yun Qinglian to me."

"Don't be seduced by her beauty."

Qin Yi: "..."

Qiu Tang said, "I mean don't be deceived by her. Someone who can keep up a disguise for so long without being exposed has schemes as deep as the Eldest Prince."

"Do I look like an idiot to you?"

Qiu Tang: "..."

"I was just kindly reminding you. After all, heroes are often ensnared by beauties. Yun Qinglian is good at using her looks to her advantage."

"Did Yun Qinglian offend you?"

Qiu Tang said, "Just normal friction, after all, she's also a contender for the throne. But compared to Yun Baixuan and the Empress, she's never openly offended me."

"So, if I can persuade Yun Qinglian, can you let her go?"

"Then ask her, if she ascends to the throne, will she spare me and Susu? If she will, then I will."

Qin Yi squinted slightly, "I can see that you don't want to let Yun Qinglian go."

"That's right, Yun Qinglian is capable of vying for the throne, which shows her ability. Even if Susu becomes the Emperor, I still wouldn't be at ease with her."

Qin Yi said, "I understand your concerns. If Susu becomes the Emperor, she won't stay in the Imperial City. Give her a city and freedom, can you do that?"

"Is she really willing to leave the Imperial City?"

"Not everyone wants to stay in the Imperial City."

Qiu Tang looked at Qin Yi seriously and said, "Qin Yi, you have done a favor for me and Susu. I don't want to let you down, nor do I want to speak with you while hiding things. If Yun Qinglian really wishes to leave the Imperial City, I will strip her of her power and give her freedom. But if she stays, then I can only kill her. After all, with a woman like her in the Imperial City, I worry greatly."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "Alright, I'll do my best. If she indeed wishes to leave the Imperial City then, remember your words and let her go. Also, I'll protect her."

Qiu Tang's expression slightly changed, understanding the implied warning in Qin Yi's words. Qin Yi is currently protecting Susu so the Second Prince was overthrown. Now he's going to protect the Eldest Princess. If she dares to act against her, Qin Yi will undoubtedly retaliate.

Qiu Tang didn't want to make an enemy out of Qin Yi; his methods and intelligence are truly frightening.

"Rest assured, I am not someone who goes back on their words. If Yun Qinglian truly wants to leave the Imperial City, I won't mistreat her."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, stood up, and said, "Eat less at night, it's easy to gain weight. Who knows, one day you might regain the Empress's position, and you might grow so big you can't fit into the Empress's robes. It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

Qiu Tang looked down at herself, her figure was perfectly proportioned, where was she fat?

However, when she looked up again, Qin Yi had already disappeared without a trace.

...

Qin Yi left the royal family and returned to the Third Princess's residence. He didn't return to his room but sat on the roof looking at the moon, holding an open locket with a photo of Xia Yanbing and the two kids inside.

He has been away from Earth for some time now; he wonders if they are doing well?

Originally, he thought that coming to the Primordial land, going to the Nether Sea, finding the Netherworld Clan, and obtaining a way to revive Duan Yiyi would be the end. Unexpectedly, various problems delayed him for so long.

Everything he did was to obtain an accurate map and find the nearest route to the Nether Sea.

"Honey, you probably don't know how vast this Primordial land is, it's so big that it makes me feel a bit tired. If only you could be by my side, I really miss you all." Qin Yi murmured softly to the photo.

This place is vast, but Qin Yi feels no sense of belonging. To this world, he is always an outsider.

Once Yun Susu ascends to the throne, he will leave this place as soon as possible.

...

...

The next day, Qin Yi came again to the Eldest Princess's mansion.

Of course, he didn't enter through the main gate but directly came to the hall from yesterday.

Yun Qinglian seems to like this place a lot, even having breakfast here.

The ones serving her were still a few handsome young men.

But Yun Qinglian was dressed much more formally today.

Yun Qinglian seemed to be lost in thought, her mind not on the meal at all.

"What's wrong? Is the food not to your taste?"

The sudden voice startled Yun Qinglian, causing the man who was serving her porridge to accidentally drop the bowl.

"Forgive me, Princess."

The men were so frightened they fell to their knees.

Yun Qinglian looked up and saw Qin Yi sitting nonchalantly across from her, with a mischievous smile of having succeeded in his prank.

With a bit of annoyance, Yun Qinglian said, "What are you doing here?"

"Why shouldn't I be here? This isn't the Yin Ghost Hell, is there any reason I can't be here? You should be grateful, I've come to have breakfast with you so early in the morning, aren't you touched?"

Yun Qinglian was naturally not touched, but the men kneeling were indeed too scared to move.

"You all can leave now," Yun Qinglian said dismissively.

The men left hastily as if pardoned, expressing their gratitude profusely.

"Ha, quite a strict household you have," Qin Yi teased.

Yun Qinglian replied indifferently, "They abuse the power of my name outside, so naturally, they must pretend to be subservient in front of me."

"You knew?" Qin Yi was surprised.

Yun Qinglian smiled maliciously, "If it weren't for them, how else would outsiders know I have a fondness for handsome men?"

Qin Yi chuckled, "There are countless ways to protect oneself; why use such a foolish method that tarnishes your own purity?"

"Not everyone has a mind like yours, turning bad ideas with the flick of an eye. My biological mother passed away early, leaving me as an empty shell of an Eldest Princess, having no support in this vast royal family. Suddenly favored by the Emperor, indulged with favor, and thus became the thorn in the eyes of the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince, I thought this method was already quite good at the time."

Qin Yi's mouth twitched, "Could you not criticize others while lamenting? How do I turn bad ideas with the flick of an eye? But I have noticed you look much prettier today than yesterday."

A hint of delight flashed in Yun Qinglian's eyes, and she quickly said, "So you do know how to give compliments."

"Of course! Do you know why you look pretty today?"

"Why?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"After thinking it over, I believe it's because you're wearing clothes today."

Yun Qinglian: "..."

"Do you always talk to people like this?"

Qin Yi nodded.

"Then it's truly a miracle you're still alive."

"I think so too."

Yun Qinglian's pretty face sank, her mood was quite good but soured by Qin Yi's words in an instant, "I was wearing clothes yesterday too."

"Uh..." Qin Yi scratched his head, puzzled, "Really?"

Yun Qinglian: "..."

Seeing Qin Yi's response, Yun Qinglian suddenly found the exquisite breakfast before her to have lost its appeal.
