Sure enough, the next moment Baili Chenyuan's cold voice rang out.
"Does the Crown Princess mean that I have wronged you?"
Lin Xian'er was about to nod in agreement when the Crown Prince grabbed her arm.
He bowed to Baili Chenyuan before speaking.
“The Prince of Zhenguo would not be mistaken. It was my wife who was ignorant. Your Highness has the appearance of an immortal, so it is only natural for us mortals to admire you.”
The crown prince was heartbroken; he was probably the first person in history to have been cuckolded.
But he couldn't help but wear the hat.
After all, wearing this hat might only bring him a period of ridicule, but if Lin Xian'er were to die, it would be a huge loss.
He may not care about Lin Xian'er's life or death, but he cares about the treasures she possesses.
Since what happened last night, I feel even more strongly that Lin Xian'er possesses a rare treasure. Otherwise, how can I explain how my destroyed golden core can be repaired as long as I make love to her?
Lost cultivation can be regained.
Lin Xian'er absolutely cannot die until we uncover her secrets and obtain the treasure.
Even if she openly cheats on him, it's unacceptable.
Seeing how the Crown Prince protected her and believed in her, Lin Xian'er was deeply moved.
He secretly vowed to help him rise to a higher position.
Little did they know that the Crown Prince had no interest in her as a person, but rather in the rare treasure she possessed.
Just as she was feeling moved, Lin Jiujiu suddenly spoke up.
"The Crown Prince is truly magnanimous. Even if the Crown Princess desires other men, the Crown Prince can still describe them as so refined and elegant."
It remains to be seen whether the Crown Prince can tolerate this infidelity, and whether the Tantai royal family can also forgive her for bringing shame upon the Emperor.
As soon as Lin Jiujiu finished speaking, without even Emperor Chu needing to say anything, several old princes from the royal family who had long disliked Lin Xian'er immediately spoke up.
"Given the Crown Princess's character, she is certainly unfit to be the mistress of the Eastern Palace. We urge Your Majesty to issue an edict to depose her as Crown Princess and to find a suitable match for the Crown Prince."
As the old prince spoke, many of the crown prince's supporters echoed his sentiments.
"Your Majesty, please depose the Crown Princess and find a suitable match for the Crown Prince."
The crown prince was somewhat tempted upon hearing this.
Although he wanted to keep Lin Xian'er by his side and use her for his own purposes, there was no need for him to make her the Crown Princess.
If her father really deposes her, she can take the opportunity to plead for her and let her stay in the Eastern Palace as a concubine.
In this way, he wouldn't lose face because of her, and he could keep her by his side and use her legitimately. Wouldn't that be better?
Just as the Crown Prince was making his plans, Lin Xian'er was furious.
Do those old fogies really think she doesn't know what they're thinking?
It's just that they're taking advantage of the fact that the crown prince will definitely inherit the throne in the future, and now they want to use this opportunity to bring them down so that their daughters can take over.
Lin Xian'er had been planning this for so long, how could she possibly let someone else benefit from it?
These people are seriously underestimating her.
After what happened yesterday, would she dare to attend such a banquet without any preparation?
Does she really not know what these people are thinking?
Just as the Crown Prince's gaze shifted, preparing to back down, Lin Xian'er stepped out from behind him.
With a touch of spiritual energy, his fingers brushed across his face, and the deep, bone-revealing wound instantly healed.
The previously everted skin has become smooth and natural, and there is not a single scar visible on the face.
Her actions only added to the astonishment and uncertainty of those present.
Some people had even quietly left their seats and headed towards the door.
Even more timid ones huddled behind the desk, pointing in Lin Xian'er's direction and muttering softly.
"She's a monster, she's a monster."
Only the few people sitting at the head of the table remained unmoved. In fact, Lin Jiujiu and the others even showed a hint of disdain in their eyes.
The injuries inflicted by Baili Chenyuan could not be healed instantly by Lin Xian'er's limited abilities, and even the low-level system she relied on did not have that capability.
She was just using some tricks; only ordinary people couldn't see through them.
Lin Jiujiu watched Lin Xian'er walk step by step towards the high platform, and established a connection between her divine sense and Xiaobai in the space.
"Can you sense the level of the system on Lin Xian'er? Is there any way to extract it?"
Lin Jiujiu always knew that Xiaobai had the ability to devour low-level systems.
They can even transform it into power to improve themselves.
Little White was lying on the grass, sunbathing its little belly, when it heard this, it elegantly rolled its eyes and said.
"He's just a useless system. I wouldn't even deign to give him a piece of my tooth."
Hearing this, Lin Jiujiu knew that he had a solution.
So, they grabbed the creature by its hind legs and pulled it out of the space.
Using the wide sleeves as cover, he would occasionally stroke its glossy fur.
It feels really nice to the touch, no wonder my little one always likes to hug it.
As soon as Xiaobai appeared, the system on Lin Xian'er's body sensed a threat, but at this moment, Lin Xian'er had already fallen into a state of madness.
Even though the system repeatedly reminded her, she didn't take it seriously.
In her view, she is the protagonist of the world, and everything and everyone who opposes her should be wiped out.
Moreover, she had made thorough preparations for today's events, so there was no way things would go wrong.
She didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.
Seeing her like this, the system had no choice but to comply. After all, it only had the authority to issue tasks and rewards to Lin Xian'er and could not interfere too much.
In addition, Lin Xian ignored its advice more than once and did a lot of stupid things, so the system's patience with her was almost exhausted.
Let her do whatever she wants; at worst, I'll just bind myself to another host after she dies.
With that in mind, the system quickly began searching the scene.
Soon their target was Lin Jiujiu, who was sitting on the high seat.
Although Lin Jiujiu managed to conceal her physical constitution, she could not hide it from the system, which was an energy entity.
After the system understood Lin Jiujiu's constitution, it couldn't wait to unbind itself from Lin Xian'er.
There is no one more suitable to be its host than Lin Jiujiu.
Just as the system was trying to establish contact with Lin Jiujiu, the little white creature hidden in her sleeve suddenly moved.
No one could see how it moved; it was as if it had just peeked out and stretched. The system that originally resided in Lin Xian'er's sea of consciousness was then swallowed by it.
Lin Xian'er didn't even realize that the system had left her. She only felt a sharp pain in her temples, but it quickly subsided.
Lin Xian'er, who was excited and felt that something big was about to happen, did not think of anyone else.
I just assumed it was a throbbing pain from the wound on my face.
However, she couldn't worry about that now. She had more important things to do.
As she drew closer to the platform, Tantai Yueming drank heartily without a care in the world, while Baili Chenyuan and Lin Jiujiu didn't even lift their eyelids.
The Imperial Noble Consort tightened her grip on her sleeve.
The Chu Emperor noticed her nervousness and patted her hand reassuringly.
