Xiao Xixi transmigrated back to ancient times and became one of the Crown Prince's concubines.
This should have been the beginning of a palace struggle, but all she wanted was to be a ...

Chapter 998 Sure enough, all men are pigs
Based on the scene Xiao Xixi saw when she was calculating just now, it was obvious that Guan Ying had planned everything long ago.
He deliberately ordered people to assassinate Yi Mei and poisoned Yi Zhou.
The Emperor of the Thousand Islands, who was unaware of the truth, learned that both of his children had died in Shengjing. He was furious and would definitely blame the matter on the Emperor of Dasheng.
At that time, Guan Ying only needs to give a secret push to cause a complete break between the two countries.
Once the two countries go to war, Tianmen will be able to take advantage of the chaos and achieve their ulterior motives.
While Guan Ying has not returned to the Thousand Islands yet and things have not yet developed to the worst step, Xiao Xixi must send the third princess back to the Thousand Islands as soon as possible.
She forced herself to cheer up, picked up the bag on the table and stuffed it into the closet.
Then she sat down at the dressing table and reapplied her makeup in front of the mirror, adding some rouge and lipstick to make herself look better.
When Luo Qinghan arrived at Yunxiu Palace, he saw Xixi sitting on the couch reading a newspaper as soon as he entered the room.
She looked up at Luo Qinghan and smiled.
"His Majesty."
Luo Qinghan's gaze lingered on her face. Although she would wear makeup on weekdays, she rarely put it on so heavily.
Xiao Xixi noticed his gaze and felt a little uneasy, but she pretended to be calm and spoke quickly.
"I just had a dream, and I saw some not-so-good scenes in the dream."
Luo Qinghan walked over, sat down beside her, took the newspaper from her hand, and then held her hand.
He immediately frowned: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Xiao Xixi: "Maybe it's because the weather is too cold. Oh, these are just trivial matters. I called you here to talk about serious matters.
I just dreamed that the Thousand Islands Kingdom was going to go to war with Dasheng, and Tianmen was involved.
Although the scenes in the dream were incoherent, I guess Guan Ying was most likely a member of Tianmen. They planned all this deliberately in order to sow discord between Dasheng and the Thousand Islands and to make the two countries fight.
We must send Yimei back to the Thousand Islands as soon as possible before the Thousand Islands officially declare war on us. Only she can stop this war."
Luo Qinghan looked at her steadily, silent.
Xiao Xixi blinked: "Are you listening to me?"
After a long while, she heard Luo Qinghan reply in a very light voice.
"Yes, I understand."
Xiao Xixi pulled back her hand and urged, "Time is running out, hurry up and do it."
Luo Qinghan raised his hand and wanted to touch her cheek.
But she dodged it.
Xiao Xixi covered her face and said, "Don't touch me. This is my carefully applied makeup. If you touch it, it will be ruined."
Luo Qinghan: "Did you do this makeup yourself?"
Xiao Xixi: "Yes, isn't it beautiful?"
Luo Qinghan: "It doesn't look good, it's so ugly, don't draw like this again in the future."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Since you say so, I will put on makeup like this every day from now on. If you have the guts, don't come here!"
Luo Qinghan frowned and said seriously: "It really doesn't look good."
Damn it! Not only did this stinky straight man stab her in the heart once, he actually stabbed her again!
Xiao Xixi covered her face and began to cry fake tears.
"I'm not even old yet, but you're already complaining about my ugly looks. If I really get old and ugly in the future, you will definitely not even want to look at me!
It turns out that men are all pigs. When they like me, they say sweet words to me and call me their darling. When they don’t like me, they are very picky about me and complain about this and that.
"Woo woo woo! This life is unbearable! Go away, go away quickly!"
Luo Qinghan asked with a wooden face: "When did I ever call you my sweetheart?"
Xiao Xixi cried even louder: "Wuwuwu! Look at you, you haven't even called me darling, you don't love me at all!"
Luo Qinghan: "But you never called me your sweetheart, does this prove that you don't love me either?"
Xiao Xixi stopped crying.
This guy actually knows how to draw inferences from one example!
Before she could figure out how to refute him, she heard him ask faintly.
"You're deliberately crying and making a fuss to change the subject. Are you hiding something from me again?"
Xiao Xixi quickly denied: "I didn't!"
She thought Luo Qinghan would ask her questions to the end, but he just looked at her deeply and replied with an ambiguous tone.
"Is that so?"
Xiao Xixi decided to carry out her unreasonable plan to the end and immediately started to act like a spoiled brat.
"Don't you believe me? You really don't love me anymore. You are suspicious of everything I say."
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything and just watched her perform quietly.
Seeing that he refused to take the role, Xiao Xixi had no choice but to continue acting.
She leaned on the couch, pressed one hand on her chest, stretched out the other hand, and shouted exaggeratedly.
"Why? Why don't you believe me? Have you forgotten the vows we made to each other? Even if the mountains are gone, and the sky and earth are united, I will never part with you! Are all the things you said to me a lie? Oh my, my heart hurts so much! I am in so much pain that I can hardly breathe!"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Looking at you like this, it may be that your internal injuries have flared up. I'll ask Doctor Fang to come over and have him give you a few injections. You should be fine."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She retracted her hand and said timidly, "I'm fine. There's no need to trouble Senior Brother to make this trip. He's also very busy."
The needle hurts so much! She doesn't want the needle!
Luo Qinghan: "Aren't you feeling heartache?"
Xiao Xixi: "No, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Luo Qinghan: "Aren't you unable to breathe?"
Xiao Xixi: "I can breathe now."
Luo Qinghan reached out his hand, hooked a strand of messy hair on her temples, pushed it behind her ear, and then gently touched her head.
"I believe you. No matter what you say, I believe you."
Even if you are lying to me, I will still believe you.
Xiao Xixi looked at him in a daze.
Luo Qinghan stood up and said, "I will arrange for someone to send the third princess back."
Xiao Xixi nodded blankly: "Oh."
She watched Luo Qinghan leave, still thinking about what he had just said.
He must have figured out that she was lying, right?
But instead of exposing her, he accepted her lies.
Xiao Xixi pulled up the quilt, covered her face, and sighed silently.
"What a damn guilty feeling!"
Baoqin walked in and asked cautiously, "Madam, are you okay?"
Just now when she was waiting outside, she heard the imperial concubine crying, and it seemed that the imperial concubine had a quarrel with the emperor.
Then the emperor left.
Although the emperor's expression did not seem to change much when he left, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was a man who never showed his emotions. Baoqin had no way of telling whether he was angry or not by looking at his facial expressions.
