Xie Yizhi carried Jiang Luoluo away in his arms. In the backyard, only Lu Anrou's heart-wrenching wails and Empress Dowager Du's deep sighs remained.
As for the servant who had just been having sex with Lu Anrou, he had already disappeared without a trace.
The atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat romantic.
Xie Yizhi looked at Jiang Luoluo with a half-smile, a meaningful curve appearing at the corner of his lips: "Did you enjoy watching this show?"
Jiang Luoluo seemed to still be immersed in the drama she had just witnessed. She shook her head, savoring the moment, and blurted out, "Not enough! I didn't get to see the parts I wanted to see."
Xie Yizhi was slightly taken aback, then laughed in exasperation, a dangerous glint of amusement appearing in his eyes.
He slowly approached, exuding a subtle aura of aggression, his voice deep and seductive: "Oh? Which part does Luo Luo want to see? How about your husband helps you recall it..."
He raised his hand, his fingertips gently lifting Jiang Luoluo's chin, forcing her to look directly at him.
Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized that she had let something slip and Xie Yizhi had caught her red-handed!
Looking at the handsome face so close to her, she suddenly felt that the temperature inside the carriage was a bit too high, and the tips of her ears began to feel a subtle heat.
This is broad daylight, and inside a carriage, how could she be so agitated?
She tried to turn her face away, but Xie Yizhi held her firmly, giving her no chance to escape.
Left with no other choice, she could only force a smile and say, "Your Highness's plan is brilliant. I admire it to the core!"
Xie Yizhi, however, had no intention of letting her off easily. He lowered his voice meaningfully.
With a hint of seduction, he said, "I admire you, but how will you compensate me, my lady?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it possessed some kind of bewitching magic, instantly making Jiang Luoluo's face burn bright red.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she felt a ridiculous impulse to taste what his thin lips were like.
She swallowed hard, almost unconsciously, watching him get closer and closer, their breaths mingling.
Her heart pounded erratically, and her lips parted slightly: "Then..."
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Cui Liu tried to escape, but she was caught and brought back!"
Mo Yang's loud, booming voice abruptly shattered the ambiguous atmosphere in the car.
Xie Yizhi's face instantly darkened, and he looked up and coldly uttered, "Understood. Lock him in the dungeon; he'll be useful later."
"Alright, Your Highness!" Mo Yang scratched his head, but he was quite puzzled.
Lately, he's been feeling a chill on the back of his neck. Could it be that he caught a cold from his master?
Taking advantage of Xie Yizhi's momentary distraction, Jiang Luoluo quickly broke free from his grasp and fled to the soft cushions of the carriage, putting distance between them.
Xie Yizhi narrowed his eyes slightly, lazily reached out and easily grabbed her slender wrist.
Her voice was incredibly gentle: "Lolo, you'd better protect me well."
Jiang Luoluo raised her head in confusion: "Why?"
Xie Yizhi sighed, half aggrieved and half coquettish, and said, "The Empress Dowager is urging us to have children every day. Now that Lu Anrou is gone, she will definitely send other people into the mansion."
I'm afraid that if I'm targeted too closely, I'll lose my innocence sooner or later. Lolo, you'd better strike first..."
Jiang Luoluo: "..."
She paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.
The mighty Prince Yi, a high-ranking, cold-blooded, and ruthless war god prince, could actually reveal such a cute and delicate side.
Her heart softened, and she couldn't help but gently squeeze his hand, saying softly, "Alright, Your Highness, I will adapt to all of this as soon as possible and won't keep you waiting too long."
Xie Yizhi felt a warmth in his heart at those words, his eyes deepening, and he instinctively pulled her into his arms.
He held her tightly, his voice low and hoarse: "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
Jiang Luoluo moved slightly, but suddenly realized that something hard was pressing against her. She immediately stopped moving and her ears turned bright red.
Lu Anrou knelt in the snow, looking utterly lost, as the swirling snowflakes seemed to bury her completely.
She has always been arrogant and domineering, and she often insults and whips her servants. She has abused and killed more than a dozen maids and servants, and now she has fallen into such a state of destitution.
But no one dared to approach her, and no one pleaded for her.
Today's scandal has caused a great uproar, and everyone understands that Lu Anrou has completely offended Xie Yizhi this time.
Even Empress Dowager Du, who had always doted on her, was now utterly disappointed in her.
Even though her sister was the emperor's favorite concubine, she was in the wrong, and even if someone wanted to defend her, they couldn't turn the truth upside down.
The once grand princess's mansion is now just an empty shell. The servants, having gotten wind of the situation, have already vanished without a trace.
Even her most trusted maid, Cui Liu, has disappeared without a trace.
Lu Anrou gritted her teeth, tears blurring her vision. The cold wind cut her face like a knife, but she was completely unaware.
At that moment, she realized that she had been tricked.
She always prided herself on being meticulous and cunning, but today, she has fallen into someone else's trap and become the ugliest laughingstock.
She clenched her fists tightly and slammed them hard into the snow on the ground. Her hands were red and numb from the cold, but she ignored the pain, her heart filled with resentment and anger.
Just one step away, just one step away, she could become a concubine in Prince Yi's mansion!
Why? Why?
Her chest heaved violently, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
Who is pulling the strings behind all of this?
Jiang Luoluo?
It's her, it must be her.
She outwardly agreed to Empress Dowager Du's request to enter the palace as a concubine, but then she set a trap for herself.
