A gash appeared on her forehead instantly, and blood flowed out, but Su Lingling seemed to feel no pain. "Su Lingling has failed to do her job well. I beg Your Highness to punish me."
The Crown Prince Feng Xingchen, who was sitting at the top, had a face full of anger and a cold expression. He looked at Su Lingling as if she were a dead person.
"You deserve to die, but I want to hear your defense."
The Prince's Mansion had been looted thoroughly by Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue before, but in just a few days, it had been restored to its original state, and there was no sign that it had been looted before.
Su Lingling stood straight, her eyes full of determination. "I have a secret I want to discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone."
This meant to dismiss the people around her. Cui Liu looked at Su Lingling's face covered in blood and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Now hearing that Su Lingling actually dared to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to dismiss his attendants, it was like hearing a joke.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future emperor. How could he listen to Su Lingling's orders? He might even punish Su Lingling severely.
Cui Liu secretly raised her head and glanced at the man in the upper position. Her heart was filled with sweetness. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and she lowered her head shyly.
But Cui Liu's joy didn't last long, for she heard the prince say, "All of you go down."
What?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually believed this woman Su Lingling, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, think twice, in case of danger..."
Cui Liu was repelled by the prince's cold eyes before she could finish her words.
All the maids serving in the main hall came out, but Cui Liu still stubbornly refused to leave.
She was dragged away without a fuss by a maid who was on good terms with her.
When only the Crown Prince and Su Lingling were left in the main hall, the Crown Prince spoke: "You know my temper. I went to such great lengths to get everyone away. If the secret you're telling isn't worth it, then you'll have to give up your life here."
There was no wave in Su Lingling's eyes, and she showed no fear at the threat from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"I'm reborn."
His Royal Highness paused while drinking his tea. "What does rebirth mean?"
"It can also be explained that I carry the memories of my past life."
The prince's face changed, and he thought about many of the things Su Lingling had said before. They seemed to be prophetic, except for the matter of disaster relief money. Everything else was accurate, and he immediately believed it halfway.
"How can I believe what you say?"
"There are silver mines in Honglian Mountain."
This time, the prince stood up excitedly, his heart full of disbelief.
"I will send someone to investigate this matter. Until the results come out, I will keep your life safe for you."
After saying this, the prince left first, and Su Lingling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the blood off his face casually with his hand and left the Prince's Mansion nonchalantly.
But on the way back, Su Lingling was thinking about one thing in her heart. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is moody, so should she change her partner?
But just now, in order to protect himself, he told his biggest secret, and from now on he can only stand on the side of the prince.
Since it cannot be changed, she has to find a way to maximize her own interests.
Su Lingling left the Prince's Mansion alone and didn't care whether Cui Liu followed her or not.
A man went to a clinic to treat his wound, then went to a clothing store to buy a set of clothes, and then returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Su Lingling is also a marginal figure in the Prime Minister's Mansion. No one cares about her movements at all and just pretends that she doesn't exist.
In the Prince's Mansion, Cui Liu really couldn't understand why the Prince treated Su Lingling so favorably.
After knowing that Su Lingling left the Prince's Mansion in good health except for the wound on her head, he could no longer bear it.
She went straight to the prince's study. The prince had just arranged for his servants to inquire about the Honglian Mountain silver mine when he saw Cui Liu coming to the study.
The prince naturally knew Cui Liu's thoughts, but the matter of the silver mine was more important now. The prince could still tell which was more important, romance or the country.
"Your Highness..."
"Come in and talk."
Cui Liu was delighted, but then felt wronged. "Why did His Royal Highness let Su Lingling go so easily?"
The prince frowned slightly and said, "Put your status in perspective. I sent you there to be a maid, not a lady."
Cui Liu didn't expect the prince to say that, and for a moment, she was even a little unsteady.
"Your Highness, what you said before about wanting me, does that mean it doesn't count anymore?"
Cui Liu cried, tears falling down her face, and there was a kind of broken beauty in her voice.
The prince stood up, walked to Cui Liu's side, and picked up the person kneeling on the ground. "Yes, of course not. Since you want to serve me so much, how can I bear to see a beautiful woman cry?"
As he said that, he carried Cui Liu in his arms and walked step by step towards the soft couch in the study.
This soft couch is usually where the prince takes a nap, and it is not even a proper bed.
But Cui Liu felt very happy. In such an important place as the study, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not shy with her at all and did such intimate things with her here.
The prince's actions were not gentle, he was simply venting his desires, but Cui Liu felt that this was an extremely restrained expression of the prince's love.
In this way, Cui Liu continued to stay in the Prince's Mansion, but she was not given any status and remained a maid.
However, all the servants and housekeepers in the prince's courtyard knew that Cui Liu was different from other maids.
At least Cui Liu can serve the prince in the study, but no one else has this treatment.
