The man was still yelling.
The voice was hoarse and shrill.
Perhaps because he hadn't eaten enough for a long time, he was out of breath from shouting. After shouting, he collapsed weakly to the ground, barely breathing.
Xiao Tang didn't care about the stares of those around her.
Therefore, they did not notice a familiar carriage stopping not far away.
"Are you done yelling?" she asked.
Wu Shi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"Get out of here after you've yelled. This is the Regent's Palace. Do you even know what kind of person our Regent is?"
Perhaps intimidated by Xiao Tang's imposing presence, he shook his head blankly.
Xiao Tang told him with a forced smile, "The Regent will eat people, drink your blood, skin you, and pull out your tendons. You'll see how terrible it is then."
Hmph! That's what everyone's saying anyway~
[I really didn't mean to smear the villain; that's just what everyone's saying. It has nothing to do with me.]
After a barrage of threats from Xiao Tang, Wu Shi was finally terrified.
He shuddered twice.
"What...what do you mean by that? Does the Regent really mean...that he'll appear and...and..."
"Of course! After all, I am the Regent's most beloved queen!" she said, then proudly tossed her long hair.
Her expression seemed to conjure up a picture of her being very happy.
Wu Shixin's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly wondered if he had come to the wrong place.
But the woman who gave him the money clearly said... that if he came over, he would definitely be invited to the Regent's Palace for a feast!
He deliberately starved himself for three days.
He did it all so that Xiao Tang would treat him to a big meal.
"Tangtang, I don't ask for anything else. Brother Wu has come all this way to the capital, aren't you going to treat me to a good meal?"
He smiled.
Her teeth are quite white.
He glanced at the tightly closed gates of the Prince's mansion.
"I don't have any other requests, I just want to try the imperial chef's cooking. It must be special, and I can brag about it when I get back!"
[Bragging? I'll make sure you brag for the rest of your life later.]
[The sky will be filled with flying cows.]
Xiao Tang smiled and nodded: "You're right."
She clapped her hands.
She tossed two steaming hot buns from her bosom to him.
"Here, these are the meat buns the Regent's wife just bought on the street. They're fresh out of the oven. They're a gift for you. You can brag about them for the rest of your life. Now, let's go."
The smile on Wu Shi's face gradually disappeared.
He held the two steaming, soft buns, his whole body stiff.
"You, you, you..."
Xiao Tang waved her hand, "Go away, don't embarrass yourself here. I'll tell your parents that you came to ask me for money again. Aren't you ashamed? You're a grown man with hands and feet, and you're still faking illness to cheat people out of money."
The onlookers, who were just watching the drama unfold, were initially about to criticize Xiao Tang for being too materialistic and snobbish...
Upon hearing Xiao Tang's words, everyone's sympathy for Wu Shi vanished.
Wu Shi wanted to argue his case further...
At that moment, two cold knives were placed against the man's neck.
Two guards appeared, exuding a chilling aura that even the sweltering summer heat couldn't conceal.
An extremely stylish carriage also stopped beside Xiao Tang.
The car door opened.
A handsome man in fine clothes stepped down from the carriage.
With silver hair and black eyes, he possessed an alluring yet wicked charm, and an extraordinary handsomeness.
He was just standing beside Xiao Tang, yet he exuded a sense of oppressive death.
Even though he didn't know who the newcomer was, Wu Shi was still shocked. For no reason, his knees buckled and he knelt down.
"Sir...sir, spare my life!"
He said, his voice trembling.
Xiao Tang stole a glance at Di Jingling.
I haven't seen you for five days.
Goodness, no matter how many times I see this man, his face is truly handsome.
Especially after five days...
[I almost forgot the main villain looked so incredibly handsome; he was a monster who brought ruin to the country!]
【Very good, now you've reinforced another memory for me.】
The man's brow twitched upon hearing this.
He pulled her into his arms.
"What does Your Highness think should be done with this person?"
Xiao Tang was taken aback.
[Ask me?]
[Aren't you always been autocratic and independent?]
The main villain would ask her, "The only possibility is that you're performing for passersby on the street."
Then we'll create the illusion that the Regent really loves the Queen.
【Oh ho! Fine, I guess I'll play along and pretend I didn't see it.】
"Your Highness, I'm so scared. He threatened me. I dare not... I leave everything to Your Highness."
After saying that, she nestled against the man's chest like a little bird.
She didn't forget to bury her face in the man's chest.
To show that she was really acting well, she even trembled slightly in the man's arms.
My performance was truly as fluid and captivating as flowing clouds!
Only Wu Shi, snapping out of his petrification, suddenly kowtowed to Emperor Jingling, "Your Highness, spare my life! I was blind to your greatness!"
Di Jingling sneered, "Get lost, I don't want to see you again."
Yan Jiu and Yan Shi put away their swords.
Wu Shi scrambled away as fast as he could.
Xiao Tang caught a glimpse of the person who had fled in terror, and found it amusing.
only……
Why would Wu Shi, who was perfectly fine, run away from the countryside to the capital?
The illness was feigned.
But he was definitely really hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the steamed buns she gave him.
As she was thinking, she was pushed away.
