Chapter 356 The main villain seems to have become a bit more down-to-earth.

Xiao Tang really felt like cursing.

Don't let her usual amiable demeanor fool you; in this situation, she couldn't hold back her temper!

She rolled up the carriage window and glared angrily at the people outside.

"Prince Li, what are you doing? What's wrong with you?"

Qin Chuli didn't even glance at her, and simply said, "Master, don't be angry. I just want to challenge your eldest disciple to a duel."

Xiao Tang: -_-||

My eldest disciple?

When did she ever admit that this guy was her apprentice?

This is terrible.

She'd seen shameless people before, but this was the first time she'd ever seen someone as shameless as Qin Chuli, a boy who couldn't understand human speech.

Seeing that Di Jingling still refused to get off the carriage, Qin Chuli resorted to provocation, "Why don't you get off the carriage? I want to fight you one-on-one. What, the dignified Regent Prince doesn't dare to confront me?"

Little did they know, Xiao Tang was holding Di Jingling's hand at that moment.

Xiao Tang patted his chest and comforted him, "Husband, don't be angry. We won't stoop to the level of this little rascal, right?"

Her words of comfort did indeed please Di Jingling.

He raised an eyebrow, looked down at her fair little hand placed on her heart, and his fierce aura naturally dissipated somewhat.

She does have some experience in coaxing major villains.

Xiao Tang patted him on the shoulder before glaring fiercely at Qin Chuli: "You should go back now. I will not accept you as my disciple, and my husband does not like you either."

"I want a one-on-one fight!"

"A one-on-one duel? Are the princes of Western Qin really that naive? Do you still think you're a three-year-old?"

That's quite a provocative statement.

The boy paused for a moment.

Xiao Tang instructed Yan Jiu to drive the carriage.

He walked past the boy and left.

After traveling for a while, Xiao Tang made a point of looking back to make sure the boy wasn't following before she felt relieved.

She said to Di Jingling, "Don't you think this boy's persistent manner is somewhat similar to that of the young emperor?"

The man pondered for a moment, then softly hummed in agreement: "It does resemble it."

Xiao Tang paused for a moment, then asked, "Husband, what have you been doing these past few days since you came down the mountain? Did you manage to collect the auspicious jade you wanted?"

She looked him up and down.

But he was completely naked last night, and she couldn't find anything under his clothes.

He wasn't wearing anything on him.

"Your aunt said she would give you the jade pendant, but it seems she didn't? Then why did she bring you here in the first place?"

The more I think about it, the stranger it seems.

This behavior is truly baffling.

The joyful expression on Di Jingling's face had clearly faded somewhat from her eyes.

He gave a soft "hmm" and said in a low voice, "She lured me here only hoping that I would avenge her."

"revenge?"

"Yes, I went to Zhongshuge to see her yesterday. She only offered me the Lucky Jade in exchange for allowing me to conquer Dongyuan Kingdom."

"Heh? Is this just empty promises?" Xiao Tang was furious.

She grasped his hand, "Husband, we're just saying, we don't need this kind of aunt."

Is it really that simple to directly attack Dongyuan Kingdom? Are you kidding me?

Besides...

None of them had ever been to Dongyuan Kingdom; they only knew that Gu poison was a specialty of that country.

Why go looking for trouble?

Whether Di Jingling will avenge his mother is another matter.

The man gave a soft "hmm": "Yes, I'm not so idle as to be flustered."

Xiao Tang blinked.

Huh?

These words were actually spoken by the main villain.

That's so rare!

[My villain seems to have become a bit more down-to-earth. In the past, he would have just given a disdainful snort and wouldn't have bothered to say anything more.]

The man flicked her forehead with his finger.

"Tangtang, you said you want to be the Empress Dowager?"

Xiao Tang was startled and immediately covered his mouth.

Even now, in the Western Qin Kingdom.

"What are you talking about? When did I tell you that..."

Yeah, I was just thinking about it in my head, how the hell did you know all this?

It's like... like you can hear what's on my mind?

The man smiled and said, "I heard you talking in your sleep last night."

"nonsense!"

She, of course, denied it.

However, looking at the man's serious expression, it seems... perhaps... maybe, it really was something she accidentally said in her sleep?

She weakly lowered her hand, "Luckily it was just sleep talking. You, you just don't tell anyone."

The moment she lowered her fingers, the man gently grasped them.

He took her small hand in his.

I gently rubbed it against my lips.

Devotion, gentleness, and like a feather lightly brushing against the tip of the heart.

Xiao Tang stared at the back of her hand. It was clearly very light, and the breath was cool and refreshing, yet it felt as if the back of her hand was being burned.

It burned deep into my heart.

"We are husband and wife."

He only said that one sentence.

It sounded as if he was making a silent promise to her.

Xiao Tang was secretly delighted, but pretended to be serious on the surface, "Of course I know we are husband and wife, but this is a big deal, not something to joke about."

Her feigned mannerisms were so adorable.

He couldn't resist pinching her little cheek.

Xiao Tang didn't know what he meant by this action, so she let him pinch her.

But soon, she remembered something and grabbed his large hand, "You...you really don't want that throne?"

"We'll see."

"oh……"

The implication is that it's not that they really don't want it.

If the young emperor heard this man's words, he would probably be overjoyed.
