C41 Scoundrelly spirit
"Tsk, you're not scared at all, you're too timid. I'm just saying a few random words, is there a need to be like that? "How boring." Tang Kexin stood up and clapped her hands. The corners of her lips slightly tilted upwards as she carried a bit of boredom and disappointment.
The way she stood up was even more ruffian than the way the Fourth Prince normally played around with his silkpants.
The crowd was stunned. What do you mean by that?
However, no one noticed that at the moment she stood up, a trace of coldness quickly concealed within her lowered eyes.
She was 100% sure that Xiao Cui was lying, and of course, she was 100% sure that Xiao Cui had framed her from the start.
When the crowd heard her words and saw her current state, they all felt as if they had been struck by lightning and were unable to find their way north.
Was what she said just now, that it was so serious and profound that it was hard to understand, all nonsense? Just to scare that girl?
It was no wonder that they could not understand a single word she had said just now. It turned out that she was just spouting nonsense. It was likely that even she herself could not understand it.
As expected, he couldn't have too much hope for a fool who had just recovered from his illness.
The corner of Ye Lanjue's mouth twitched. She could actually be a bit more cocky.
"You still have the mind to play around in this situation?" The empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hold her hand, unconsciously tightening her grip.
Everything just now was too dangerous.
"Doesn't this have nothing to do with me?" However, Tang Kexin shrugged disapprovingly and whistled happily.
Everyone's eyeballs fell to the ground. The disparity was too great. It was simply too much to accept.
He couldn't look straight at it!
Just like what His Highness had just thought, at this moment Tang Kexin was truly a scoundrel to the extreme.
The corners of the third prince's lips curled up subconsciously. His smile was a bit complicated.
Tang Kexin turned around and saw Ye Lanchen staring straight at her. Her eyes flashed for a moment before she suddenly reached out to grab the red dates in his hand. The ruffian threw it into his mouth and bit into it forcefully, "So sweet."
Seeing her actions, Ye Lanjue's eyes narrowed, as if he felt a bit more cold, but also as if he felt something was different.
However, Tang Kexin didn't notice the change in the Third Prince's expression at the moment. She only wanted to continue distracting everyone and fight to create the image of her crazily playing around with others.
She knew that in this aspect, Ye Lan Chen would definitely be able to cooperate with her.
"You, why are you snatching away This King? Aren't there a lot of them on the table?" Sure enough, Ye Lan Chen immediately snapped back to reality. He glared at her in protest with a hint of dissatisfaction.
When he first arrived, he saw the jujube on the table in front of the fake mountain and casually touched one. He was so shocked that he forgot to eat it.
Everyone was dumbstruck. This ? this woman had directly snatched something from the Fourth Prince, and had even snatched it away from him. Was she going to eat it just like that?
Did she have too much guts? Or was he too crazy?
"Isn't this close? If I have to reach out and bend over to take what's on the table, that would be too much trouble. " Tang Ke replied in his heart.
Hearing her reasoning, the rest of them almost fell to the ground.
The corner of his mouth twitched as he said, "Why aren't you so lazy?"
"The two of you, bickering the moment you meet each other, you really are enemies." The empress finally smiled, but held Tang Kexin's hand tighter. The reason she said that was to divert everyone's attention.
As an empress, she had been in the harem for so many years, how could she not see that there was something wrong with this matter?
Hearing the empress's words, everyone was stunned. The empress's words were too clear. Everyone present was intelligent, how could they not understand? It was obvious that the empress wanted the 4th Prince to be with Miss Tang.
It would be a good thing if they were to be engaged, as the engagement between Miss Tang and Young Master Mu would be annulled.
The emperor was stunned. His gaze swept over Tang Kexin before he smiled faintly, a clear meaning to his smile.
The icy pupils of the Third Prince turned slightly as they became gentle. The emotions in the depths of his eyes faded bit by bit, as if he had fallen into a deep pool.
Tang Kexin, who was chewing on a sweet jujube, directly bit her tongue. It hurt, it hurt, it really hurt.
"Muhou ?" Ye Lanchen wanted to protest.
"Drag this servant away, and we will be caned a hundred times." The Emperor looked at Xiao Cui and gave the order.
The staff's punishment was a hundred. A palace maid definitely had no life. It was very clear that the Emperor believed this to be a plot by the imperial concubines of the imperial harem, so he wanted to kill this palace maid.
However, Tang Ke Xin felt that things weren't that simple. Of course, under these circumstances, she naturally couldn't say anything.
The guards dragged the terrified Xiao Cui away and everyone left.
"Send someone to take a look, don't let that palace maid die." Tang Kexin intentionally pulled Ye Lanchen to the back and did her best to lower her voice.
"Why did she frame you?" Obviously, Ye Wu Chen didn't think too much about it.
"This matter is not that simple. Send the most trusted and capable person around to secretly protect her. Remember, you must not let her die or be discovered." Tang Ke Xin's voice was even more solemn.
The palace maid was the only clue. She couldn't just die like that.
Even if they didn't investigate this matter openly, they couldn't just let it go like this in secret. She couldn't appear, but Ye Lanchen could. It was obvious that this matter was aimed at the empress.
At the front, the footsteps of Ye Lanjue seemed to slow down slightly.
"Oh, okay." Seeing that she was so serious, Ye Lanchen didn't ask any further questions and only nodded. His face also revealed a rare serious expression.
Right now, he completely trusted Tang Kexin.
With such a thing happening, Tang Kexin's departure was delayed as well. It just so happened that news came from the Prime Minister's estate that the Prime Minister and Madam Prime Minister had left the city to pick up the madame and would only be back in two days. The Empress allowed Tang Kexin to remain in the palace.
The life and death of a palace maid, in this palace, naturally wouldn't cause any waves. Thus, after the incident, everything was calm and peaceful.
Even the empress didn't bring up the matter in front of Tang Kexin.
After dinner, the emperor came to the Kunning Palace.
The emperor left with a gloomy face last night. He actually came today of his own accord, and even seemed to have a faint smile on his face.
Tang Ke was somewhat surprised.
"This girl, Xin Er, has recovered from her illness. She's really smart." The emperor entered the room and looked at Tang Kexin with a smile.
Tang Kexin's eyes flashed. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt like the emperor was fawning on the empress.
"This humble girl will take her leave first." In this situation, she naturally had to leave.
"I know that you want Chen'er to be with Xin Er. Once the marriage between Xin Er and Mu Shaoyi is cancelled, I will pass down the decree to grant them a marriage." When Tang Kexin left, the emperor shifted his gaze to the empress. His voice was very soft and gentle.
The empress was stunned. She was clearly surprised that the emperor had brought this up on his own accord and offered to give her a marriage.
"Is there a need to be so surprised?" The emperor's face blossomed into a smile as he reached out and pulled her into his embrace. His actions were very gentle and contained a bit of affection. However, the moment the empress was pulled into his embrace, she unconsciously stiffened.
The smile on the emperor's face froze. His gaze sank. The hand he gripped around her waist secretly tightened as he unconsciously increased his strength.
It had already been nineteen years. She had already entered the palace for nineteen years. How could nineteen years of husband and wife not be able to compare ?
In the next moment, his eyes darkened as if they had turned cold. He suddenly picked her up and carried her into the inner room. With a turn of his body, he pressed her down onto the bed and fiercely kissed her.
At this moment, his actions were both wild and rough.
