Xiao Tang only regretted that she hadn't taken revenge.

He simply uttered two words in a hoarse voice: "Time to bed!"

After saying those two words, he... turned away and ignored her?

Xiao Tang stared at his back, utterly bewildered.

She touched the corner of her mouth and grinned at the man's retreating figure.

You little bastard!

This damn pain.

She turned her back to him, angrily ignoring him.

When Xiao Tang woke up from her daze, the villain was nowhere to be seen. She tidied herself up and went out, just as Ruyi brought her breakfast.

"Your Highness, you've woken up!"

"This is what the prince instructed you to drink as soon as you wake up. It's a special tonic soup and a soup for early birth of a son, specially brewed for you in Shensuan Mountain."

Looking at the bowl of rich soup and hearing its extremely strange and bizarre name, Xiao Tang hesitated before reaching out to take it.

"Ruyi, don't do this kind of thing next time."

After she finished speaking, she still took a small bite.

to be honest……

It doesn't taste very good.

It's also a bit greasy.

She could tell from the name that the soup wouldn't taste good.

but! ! !

Shouldn't the key point be that the Regent ordered it? The villain ordering her to drink this soup makes his intentions seem...too obvious.

She looked at the bowl of soup in her hand and swallowed hard.

Ruyi didn't notice the conflicted look on her face, assuming she was just overjoyed and deeply moved, so she whispered, "Your Highness, the Prince truly dotes on you."

Pamper my ass!

He only wanted her to give birth to a child so that his family line could continue.

Xiao Tang was too lazy to explain and returned the soup to Ruyi.

She turned and left.

She needs to find an opportunity to run away.

She couldn't continue being so intimate with the main villain; she always felt that the crisis of having a child would really befall her.

She can help the main villain, and she can also give him advice.

But having children is a matter of principle!

"I cannot do it!"

"What?" Suddenly, the villain's cold voice rang out.

It felt like a strange electric current was flowing from my ears throughout my body.

It's even more convulsive than the electric current that's a system punishment.

A deep bass is sexy enough to make your ears pregnant, but this is the first time I've ever heard it make my whole body convulse.

Xiao Tang wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "Um, my husband, you're back."

"I played a game of chess with the sect leader."

"Oh... my husband, I don't think this soup is suitable for me."

His gaze fell on Ruyi's hand.

The soup, of course, was prepared on the orders of the sect leader.

He was simply going along with it, letting Ruyi serve her the drink.

Moreover, Xiao Tang is still too young; he wouldn't be so heartless.

But every time he saw this girl resisting his affection like a frightened bird, he felt frustrated.

"It's fallen over."

The man uttered two words expressionlessly.

Ruyi exclaimed in surprise, looking at Xiao Tang with utter astonishment.

It was as if he was asking the princess with his eyes, "Should we really throw this soup away?"

Xiao Tang raised her chin and nodded.

The meaning is obvious.

He was telling her with his expression to quickly pour it down.

I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

Seeing the man walk away aloofly, she immediately lifted her skirt and chased after him, "My husband, when can we go down the mountain?"

She smiled and caught up with the man.

The man did have long legs, but he still slowed down his pace because of her voice.

"Want to go down the mountain?"

"Yeah, yes." Why did he speak such a short sentence so gently?

Xiao Tang was caught off guard.

Di Jingling took her small hand and said, "It's alright to go down the mountain now."

...

Back at the Regent's Palace, Xiao Tang was still in a daze.

She raised her paw, stared at the hand, and looked completely bewildered.

He touched the corner of his mouth again.

I feel like the villain's reaction to her is a bit off.

[They must want to continue their lineage as soon as possible, that's why they're trying to please me.]

【right! 】

This must be the reason; no arguments accepted!

Di Jingling walked behind, looking at her silly appearance, feeling both amused and annoyed.

His queen...

I'm overthinking things.

...

In the following days, Xiao Tang and Di Jingling lived in peace.

Xiao Tang still kept his promise to the young emperor and accompanied him to study after court every day.

But today...

But they are different.

Xiao Tang stood outside the palace gate waiting for the court session to end. Just as all the officials came out, she was about to go find the young emperor when she was stopped by Duke Xiao.

"Xiao Tang!"

His voice was as arrogant as ever.

Xiao Tang stopped in her tracks.

She raised her right eyebrow coldly. "How dare you! How dare you address me by my name?"

I've told him so many times, but this scumbag still hasn't learned his lesson.

Duke Xiao frowned, about to curse her, when he caught a glimpse of the Regent walking out of the main hall. The words of curse were stuck in his throat.

He coughed twice.

I almost started swearing.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, my third daughter has returned home today and is hosting a family banquet. I wonder if I may have the honor of inviting you both to attend?"

He rubbed his hands together gently.

His third daughter is about to come of age.

But this little girl doesn't like anyone.

He thought and thought...

It would be good to make her a concubine of the regent; she would surely be honored in the future.

Being a concubine isn't a big deal; once Xiao Tang is dealt with, she can still rise to the top.
