Chapter 514 Husband, then I'll go to the General's Mansion tomorrow and dig a huge pit.

Yan Jiu's voice came from outside the door reporting.

They interrupted their commotion at just the right time.

"Your Highness, I have discovered something!"

"There are reports at both the Imperial Advisor's residence and General Yang's mansion!"

Xiao Tang had already been pinned down in the bed by the man.

In the dim light, his handsome face was obscured by shadows, making it difficult to see clearly, but his deep black eyes seemed to have a captivating vortex.

She gently placed her fingers on his heart, making light circles through the thin fabric of his clothes.

"Husband, Yan Jiu is calling you from outside, stop fooling around."

"We have important business to attend to."

Di Jingling really wanted to bite her, but in the end she held back.

My wife.

Being mischievous is to be expected.

But it's wrong to deliberately bother or torment him when it's late at night and everyone is quiet.

Xiao Tang thought he would let her go so easily, and was about to speak when a dark figure landed in front of her. His cool breath suddenly approached, and he bit her hard before letting go.

"Come in and speak."

Yan Jiu was already used to such things, so he waited a while before going in.

Inside the house, the prince and princess sat there as if nothing had happened, leaving no room for criticism.

Yan Jiu scratched his head, also thinking that the playful sounds he had just heard might have been a hallucination.

"Yan Jiu, didn't you say you had something to report? Why aren't you saying a word now?"

Xiao Tang picked up Di Jingling's sleeve and gently played with it.

He tossed it between his fingertips, then let go.

The fabric, which was originally of excellent quality, became inexplicably wrinkled after Xiao Tang's actions.

Yan Jiu lowered his head, originally not wanting to see the couple's affectionate gaze, but unexpectedly, when he looked down, he could still see the princess playing with the prince's sleeve.

This dog food is definitely being eaten properly.

"There is a tunnel in the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Tonight, Si Shi secretly met with a guest through that tunnel. A dark figure saw him."

"What did you say?" Di Jingling suddenly pulled his sleeve back from Xiao Tang's hand.

It wasn't that he was stingy and wouldn't let Xiao Tang play with him.

Even a casual little movement from this girl could really stir up my mind.

It was clearly a simple action, yet it easily shattered his calm and collected mind.

Seeing that the sleeve she had been playing with was gone, Xiao Tang could only pout and give up.

Yan Jiu shook his head slightly, "I don't understand it. The guards I sent to keep an eye on it also said they didn't understand it. It's probably the local dialect of Dongyuan Kingdom."

"Are you sure it's the dialect of Dongyuan Kingdom?" Xiao Tang also became interested.

She seemed extremely interested in listening.

Na Sishi had long suspected that they were from the Eastern Abyss Kingdom.

Otherwise, how could he have gotten close to the Empress Dowager without any reason?

"Yes, although I can't understand it, I can confirm that it is the local dialect of their Dongyuan Kingdom."

Xiao Tang stroked her chin. "Husband, since that's the case, let's continue to observe. I think this Grand Preceptor's goal... is to take your life, isn't it?"

He didn't directly respond to Xiao Tang's words, but looked at Yan Jiu, who was kneeling on the ground, "Didn't you just say that there was still news about General Yang's mansion?"

"Yang Dejiang seems to be acting strangely at this time. He's grabbing and eating all the chickens and ducks in the mansion. Now General Yang can only lock them inside the house. It's weird, like he's possessed."

"And when that dark figure left, Yang Dejiang returned to normal. Isn't that strange?"

That statement is indeed strange.

Xiao Tang lowered her eyes. "I think we should observe for another night. If it's really as I suspect, we can dig a pit in advance."

"Dig a hole?"

“Yes!” She winked at Di Jingling. “It’s also called setting a trap.”

Di Jingling would not object to anything she did, including digging a pit like this.

Di Jingling gave a soft "Mmm": "I'll do whatever you say."

"You may leave now."

Yan Jiu exclaimed "Ah!" and hurriedly retreated.

He scratched his head as he closed the door.

He wondered if the princess would be in charge of everything in the palace from now on.

The prince always listens to the princess, and he fears that in the future, it would be more direct to report everything directly to the princess.

inside the house.

Xiao Tang asked, "Does my husband have any questions?"

No questions.

"Is that all?" Xiao Tang looked at him in surprise. "But this matter concerns the Emperor's safety. Why don't you seem worried?"

"Why should I be in a hurry? It's not like you've disappeared."

"..."

Xiao Tang was speechless.

Too.

That little brat isn't Di Jingling's biological son; Di Jingling is just trying to help him out.

It's a pity the young emperor is so disappointing.

If that's the case, it would be better to bring the young emperor back as soon as possible and then resolve this matter.

If the young emperor refuses, then we will have to find another heir.

A country cannot be without a ruler for even a day.

Di Jingling's gaze lingered on her abdomen. "If that's the case, if you give birth to a child, that child will be named the Crown Prince."

Xiao Tang: "Pfft—"

"In that case, you will be the Empress Dowager."

"...Um, what about you?"

"I'll only stay with you."

"???"

[Oh no, I've turned the main villain into a love-struck fool. Am I doomed?]

Xiao Tang didn't dare to think any further.

Being love-struck...how terrifying.

She was suddenly flicked on the forehead by the man, who warned her in a deep voice, "Don't overthink it. I was just joking. Did you really take it seriously?"

"Ah, tch~ So it was just a joke to tease me. No wonder my husband said it so matter-of-factly."

Despite his defiant attitude, he ultimately suffered a biting attack from the main villain.
