"So what if Consort Chun is dead? She deserved it. She tried to assassinate the Regent, she deserved to die."
"But the Seventh Prince is in such a bad mood, could he have some kind of secret with Consort Chun?"
"I had noticed that these two seemed to be getting along very closely before, and it turns out it wasn't a lie."
The ministers watching the scene whispered among themselves.
Because of the way the seventh prince drew his sword and confronted the regent, the ministers were talking loudly, and Xiao Rourou could hear it clearly.
Xiao Rourou's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
He was probably wondering what was going on.
She and Di Yanhen are husband and wife!
This man hasn't even glanced at her yet!
Xiao Rourou was filled with disappointment.
Xiao Tang didn't hear a response from the Seventh Prince for a while, and then sighed and said, "What is love in this world? The Seventh Prince likes Consort Chun but refuses to admit it. The Seventh Princess is too pitiful."
The word "like" struck Di Yanhen squarely in the heart.
The discussion became even more heated.
"Oh dear, no wonder."
"Shh, stop talking. Didn't you see that the Seventh Princess Consort's face has turned green?"
Finally, Di Yanhen remembered to retort, angrily shouting, "Xiao Tang, you have no right to speak here! Don't you dare spout nonsense and distort the truth. This prince won't fall for your act!"
After a roar, he seemed to remember something, sheathed his sword, and took Xiao Rourou's hand.
"Rou Rou, don't be angry. I just... I just came back in a hurry and only just found out about this."
Xiao Rourou's face turned an ugly green, and she didn't say a word.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, Di Yanhen's eyes flashed and he immediately showed a sorrowful expression.
"With Father Emperor's passing, I, as his son, should have returned long ago to attend his funeral. I beg Ninth Imperial Uncle to give me this opportunity. Once I have finished attending Father Emperor's funeral, I will return to the frontier."
"Kneel down." Inside the carriage, the man's low, cold voice showed no mercy.
It was as cold as a giant awl, as if it could pierce through a person's body.
Di Yanhen looked at Di Jingling in disbelief.
“Ninth Imperial Uncle…” he stammered.
"You were wrong first, and Consort Chun killed my brother afterward. Now explain to me, who gave Consort Chun the poison?"
One sentence can cause a huge uproar.
Everyone's expression changed.
They looked at Di Yanhen in astonishment.
Is the Regent Prince outside the imperial mausoleum planning to settle scores with the Seventh Prince?
Di Yanhen's eyes sharpened, and he indeed bent his knees and knelt down.
He pressed his lips together and said in a tone so grief-stricken it seemed to move heaven and earth, "Ninth Imperial Uncle, you must have misunderstood. I would never do such a thing."
"Consort Chun...she deserves to die! How dare she commit such a heinous act!"
This male lead is such a scumbag.
[You were just expressing your indignation over Consort Chun's death, and now you've changed your tone. You're really something.]
Xiao Tang wanted to give him a thumbs up.
I'm more impressed than anyone else.
Just as she finished thinking, she was glared at by the man beside her.
【？】
Why are you glaring at me? If you glare at me again, I'll eat you up!
The man's lips twitched slightly before he turned his head and said, "Since you want to attend your brother's funeral, guards, take the Seventh Prince to the imperial mausoleum to accompany your brother on his seventh day after his death. After seven days, send him to the frontier."
With a single command, he effortlessly took control of the entire situation.
Di Yanhen clenched his fist tightly.
His teeth were grinding together, and he was filled with hatred.
The man lowered his head, feigning repentance, and reluctantly agreed.
Guards quickly stepped forward and dragged him into the imperial mausoleum.
"You... Brother Yanhen." Xiao Rourou hurriedly lifted her skirt and chased after him.
Di Jingling closed the car window expressionlessly. "Back to the manor."
The two cold words made Xiao Tang realize that the Asura was not called that for nothing.
It was this heartless demeanor that made her sigh with one word in her heart: 【yyds】
He truly deserves to be called a major villain.
To deal with a dog-like male lead and a white lotus female lead, you have to be this ruthless and decisive!
[Ding, host, the villain's depression has relapsed, requiring a deduction of 5000 points from your account until you completely cure the villain's depression.]
[Damn it... Say that again if you dare!]
Xiao Tang was really furious with this damn system.
Her gaze suddenly stopped on Di Jingling's face.
His handsome face, as smooth as jade, remained unchanged, always expressionless.
Where can you tell that he's depressed?
At this moment, Di Jingling, who had heard everything, slowly opened and closed his thin lips and said leisurely, "What is the princess looking at? Is there something on my face?"
Um……
Depression?
He knew that word.
But he had only just heard the word "depression" before.
Are you implying that he's been depressed lately?
But in reality, no.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Tang said, "My lord, then I must offend you."
Her soft little hands immediately cupped his face, shook it from side to side, and even fearlessly flipped his eyelids to observe the condition of his eyes.
My eyes are a bit dry, and I haven't been sleeping well lately.
Also, take a look at your tongue coating.
"My husband, your tongue."
he:"……"
To his surprise, the woman pinched his chin with her small hand, without using much force, and somehow managed to open his tightly pursed lips.
Xiao Tang examined her tongue coating. "Oh dear, your tongue is white; you have too much dampness. What's wrong, you big villain? Depression is causing you insomnia?"
"Husband, have you been sleeping or eating poorly lately, and are you feeling somewhat fatigued?"
