A man's cold voice suddenly rang out.

Xiao Rourou, who was pretending to be asleep, sat up as if waking from a dream to look at him.

She looked at Di Jingling with a dazed expression, her surprise turning into delight: "Regent, you're awake!"

Di Jingling looked at her coldly.

“Last night… your poison flared up, and I stayed here with you all night.”

At this point, she lowered her eyelashes, feigning shyness.

It's all about acting...

For some reason, Di Jingling found this woman's acting particularly affected, but Xiao Tang... didn't find it repulsive at all; he even found it cute?

He frowned and asked, "Where is my queen?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rourou's heart skipped a beat.

She thought to herself, Xiao Tang clearly didn't make a sound last night...

She thought that Xiao Tang didn't dare to say anything because she was afraid that Di Jingling would find out, which meant that the relationship between the two of them was indeed not good.

But now it seems like she misunderstood?

"Your Highness... Rou Rou didn't see the Princess last night. Perhaps she's still resting?"

She subtly reached for the man's sleeve.

When she entered, the man was already asleep, and his shirt was open, revealing his excellent physique.

Xiao Rourou had actually been lusting after this man's body for a long time...

Now that she finally has this opportunity, how could she give it up?

Di Jingling, with a cold face, snorted, pulled her clothes together, and got up to leave.

I didn't even glance at her during that time.

Xiao Rourou was shocked, wondering where she had gone wrong.

She hurriedly chased after him: "Regent? Ninth Imperial Uncle, are you... are you angry? Are you angry that your sister didn't stay with you during the night when the poison took effect?"

Di Jingling, being tall and long-legged, easily walked out of the secret room.

Xiao Rourou was still following behind, calling out as she chased after her, "Ninth Imperial Uncle, please don't be angry with my sister, about this matter..."

At this moment, Xiao Tang was sitting in the house eating breakfast. Just as she was taking a bite of rice and bean curd, she saw the door leading to the secret room open with a rumble.

Every time the walls of this secret room are opened, the vibrations are tremendous.

A speck of dust accidentally flew into her red bean porridge...

Xiao Tang stared at her ruined breakfast, her face darkening.

Are these two going to perform a folk opera so early in the morning?

[Waaaaah, my poor red bean porridge! I really want to write a poem right now... Red beans grow in the south, they're here for my breakfast. I wish this silly thing would stay away so I can enjoy it properly...]

[Oh well, this doesn't rhyme. Oh well, that's it.]

After she finished reciting her own poorly written poem in her mind, the man suddenly moved closer and looked down at her.

His eyes even turned somewhat fierce.

Xiao Tang looked up and met his gaze.

She was his savior, so why did he act like he wanted to devour her?

"Is the Princess in a good mood?"

"Uh?" Her lips twitched, and she explained awkwardly, "Your Highness, I'm not in a good mood. I was so worried about you that I couldn't eat or sleep. That's why I dared to have breakfast now that I see you are safe and sound."

"Your Highness must be hungry too, right? Would you like to sit down and eat with us?"

As he spoke, he handed the bowl of dusty red bean porridge to Di Jingling.

Xiao Rourou was completely ignored by the couple.

She stood there stiffly, her expression slightly unpleasant.

For a very long time...

She whispered, "Sister..."

"What are you calling 'sister'? I'm your Ninth Imperial Aunt now. Besides, as the Seventh Imperial Consort, you suddenly emerged from my husband's secret chamber. If word gets out, people will say you're promiscuous and shameless. The Seventh Imperial Consort should have some self-respect!"

She glanced at Di Jingling's expression.

I'm probably watching to see if this man will speak up for the female lead.

She scolded his sweetheart...

The man frowned, then handed the bowl of dusty red bean porridge to Xiao Rourou and said coldly, "Take this and leave the Regent's Palace."

Xiao Rourou stared blankly at the man, unable to tell whether he was helping her or disliking her.
