For some reason, in the past few months, An Susu has stopped bothering the Crown Prince and seems to have become somewhat shrewd.
She always manages to find her sore spots and attack them relentlessly, yet she can't do anything about it and can only endure it.
Sometimes I want to punish her a little, but I always get an OOC warning from the system.
This also made Lin Xian'er grit her teeth every time she saw An Susu, yet she was helpless.
An Susu had had her fill of witty banter, and knowing that Lin Xian'er was very vengeful, she stopped paying attention to her.
Her mother was right: gentlemen are easy to mess with, but petty people are hard to deal with.
Lin Xian'er is a complete scoundrel, and her heart is smaller than a needle prick.
After several encounters, An Susu has learned to control the situation well, always stopping short of pushing her to the limit, ensuring she infuriates people without crossing her bottom line.
Lin Xian'er was angry at An Susu, but she hated Lin Jiujiu even more.
Why is it that she can live so well even though she was thrown into such a poor, remote place full of unruly people?
She might even be able to marry such a divine being.
Although Baili Chenyuan's aura was restrained and his cultivation level was not apparent, the system determined that his cultivation level should have already exceeded the Nascent Soul stage.
According to the information she gathered, this Baili Chenyuan should be Xiao Tianyi, the eldest son of the Xiao family with whom she was engaged.
After she and Lin Jiujiu switched identities, she married into the Xiao family in her place.
She had thought the Xiao family was a den of cannibals, and that Lin Jiujiu would suffer a fate worse than death if she married into it. Who would have thought she would have such good fortune?
Putting aside his current status, even the Crown Prince would have to respectfully call him "Royal Uncle." In the cultivation world, with his cultivation level, he would at least be the ruler of a region.
If she hadn't switched back with Lin Jiujiu, wouldn't she be the one sitting up there now, looking down at everyone?
Lin Xian'er became increasingly unwilling to accept it.
She couldn't understand why she, who was bound to the system, should be the protagonist of this world.
But why is it that her life is always going out of sync?
She should have been the daughter of a general, yet she was raised in the countryside for fifteen years.
They missed the best years for education and the opportunity to meet more talented young people from a young age.
But the country bumpkin he looked down on suddenly became someone she couldn't possibly reach.
Lin Xian'er became increasingly unwilling as she thought about it, and her eyes held a hint of resentment as she looked at Baili Chenyuan.
It was as if she was blaming him for marrying someone else only a few years after she left.
Baili Chenyuan was disgusted by her gaze and casually sent a burst of spiritual energy at her.
A deep, bone-revealing wound was left directly on Lin Xian'er's face, running across her brow bone and nose wing.
"ah……"
Lin Xian'er let out a miserable scream, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many timid guests were already frightened by her blood-covered face.
They all distanced themselves from her.
At that moment, Baili Chenyuan, sitting high on the throne, spoke in a cold voice with a sullen face.
"If you look at me with that disgusting gaze again, I won't hesitate to gouge your eyeballs out."
As soon as Baili Chenyuan said this, no one else understood what was going on, except for An Susu, who had been staring at Lin Xian'er.
She also has the personality of someone who loves to watch the drama unfold.
In addition, I had some prior interaction with Lin Jiujiu and knew that she was the kind of person who wouldn't bother you unless you offended her.
He then mustered his courage and teased her.
"Tsk tsk, our Crown Princess is quite something, daring to openly seduce others right in front of the Crown Prince."
As she spoke, she glanced at Baili Chenyuan and saw that he wasn't angry, while Lin Jiujiu also looked like she was watching a show.
The way the woman even encouraged her with her eyes to continue emboldened An Susu.
The things he said became increasingly harsh.
"Look at your own face! Just because someone flatters you a bit, you think you're some kind of celestial being descended to earth."
I really don't know where she gets the confidence to think that she, a woman who has been married for a long time, can really compare to a princess?
She's not even worthy to carry your shoes, yet she has the nerve to seduce someone else's husband.
These eyes are not working well, so there's really no use keeping them. I might as well donate them.
"If we pry it off and stomp on it, at least we'll hear a sound."
The crown prince was accused of being cuckolded by his own cousin with just a few words, and his expression was quite interesting.
The key point is that he also saw the resentful look on Lin Xian'er's face just now.
It was exactly the same as when she usually acted coquettishly towards me.
The Crown Prince knew that what An Susu said was true, but even if it was true, he shouldn't say it in front of so many people. Wouldn't that make him lose face?
The Crown Prince was furious and pointed at An Susu, shouting angrily.
"How did your uncle teach you manners? In front of so many people, you dare to speak so carelessly?"
"Quickly apologize to the Crown Princess, then get out of the palace. And don't attend any more palace banquets."
Although An Susu had already decided not to enter the Eastern Palace again.
But after all, this is someone she's liked since childhood. Only Fei herself knows the feeling of being scolded by the person she likes.
She lowered her head slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Even so, she didn't want to apologize to Lin Xian'er.
Moreover, what he said was the truth.
Just as An Susu got up with tears in her eyes to leave, Lin Jiujiu, who had been watching the whole thing, suddenly spoke up.
However, she said this to the Emperor of Chu.
"Is His Majesty the Emperor of Chu going to announce the abdication of the throne to the Crown Prince today?"
A seemingly unrelated remark instantly silenced the entire palace.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the Chu Emperor, but they also automatically held their breath, as if even breathing a little louder would affect the Chu Emperor's decision.
Even the crown prince looked at the prospective ruler with anticipation.
Only Lin Xian'er felt that things weren't so simple. She didn't even bother to treat the wound on her face and just stared straight at Lin Jiujiu.
She always felt that this woman had ulterior motives.
What happened next proved that she was right.
Upon hearing Lin Jiujiu's words, Emperor Chu asked with some suspicion.
"Why would Your Highness ask such a question? I am currently in the prime of my life and have no intention of abdicating."
The Chu Emperor had a vague suspicion that these words were merely a convenient excuse.
When Lin Jiujiu heard the answer she wanted, a smile flashed in her eyes.
"If that's the case, His Majesty hasn't even spoken yet, so why is the Crown Prince issuing orders on his behalf? I thought His Majesty was going to abdicate and pass the throne to a more worthy successor, and that the Crown Prince would soon become the master of this palace."
As soon as Lin Jiujiu said this, anyone who wasn't a fool would understand that she was setting a trap for the Crown Prince and speaking out for An Susu.
The crown prince panicked upon hearing this, as his recklessness yesterday had already displeased his father.
What if this woman succeeds in stirring up trouble and makes my father mistakenly believe that I have rebellious intentions?
