Di Jingling originally intended to carry her back to her bedroom, but then remembered that there were many guards outside the door, so he turned back halfway.
His gaze swept around the room.
Xiao Tang's clothes were not found.
He then took off his outer robe, covered Xiao Tang with it, and wrapped her completely before returning to his bedroom.
Xiao Tang was already nestled in his arms, motionless, not even bothering to change her expression in the slightest.
"Why is the princess reacting this way?" he asked casually.
"Ah, this..."
What kind of reaction do you expect from me? I'm numb, I just want to lie flat.
After much deliberation, Xiao Tang was placed on the bed.
The strangest thing was that the man not only tore off the outer robe covering her, but also carefully wiped her down with a clean cloth.
This situation...
That made her really misunderstand.
No... the way you're doing it makes it look like you're polishing a work of art.
Even though I'm a work of art, you don't have to act like this.
Xiao Tang instinctively reached for the blankets, wanting to cover herself with them.
But before she could take another step in pulling the blankets, he grabbed her wrist.
"Don't move."
Xiao Tang's inner thoughts: [Tears streaming down my face...]
The villain's strange appearance made her increasingly uneasy.
"Your Highness, I... what virtue or ability do I possess to deserve your condescension to serve me?" She fiddled with her fingers. "Shouldn't you... switch places?"
He had finished wiping her down and even helped her put her clothes on.
This service is truly comprehensive.
"Hmm?" He finished with a single syllable, his expression indifferent.
It seems that they don't see anything wrong with this matter.
Since they are husband and wife, this kind of intimacy is acceptable.
If she weren't so young.
He did want to consummate their marriage.
Xiao Tang nervously explained, "My lord, we've gone against the grain! It should be me taking care of you!"
She solemnly placed her arms on his shoulders, her expression serene.
"No need. I have been away at the border for many days and have missed my princess for many days. Taking care of her is just a small matter."
He finished speaking calmly, then got up and left.
Xiao Tang: ? ? ?
She stared dumbfounded at the man's incredibly straight back.
Those words just now made her seriously suspect that the villain had been possessed.
The main villain just said he missed me?
What are you thinking about me for?
[Does he want me to put on an act in front of him?]
Xiao Tang asked himself three questions in a row, and then shattered all the answers in his mind.
The villain, who had returned, went back into the house and lay down beside her.
I've taken a shower.
The man had a faint, elegant fragrance.
Xiao Tang didn't know what kind of bath he used, but it smelled very good, and it wasn't the cloying kind of fragrance, but rather a refreshing one.
As you sniff, drowsiness will come over you.
The weather is getting colder.
Smelling this fragrance, she suddenly felt incredibly safe.
"Does Your Highness miss me?" he asked, his arm slowly descending to her waist, the force of his touch a little heavy.
Xiao Tang even sensed that his action was a threat.
It was as if he would snap her waist if she said no.
He raised his eyes slyly and met his gaze.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly enhanced her acting skills to immerse herself in the role before saying, "Of course... I miss Your Highness so much. I miss everything about Your Highness."
"Hmm? How much do you want to?" he asked meaningfully.
Xiao Tang's lips twitched.
My dear son, you have such a strong thirst for knowledge, but... how can I possibly describe to you how much I miss you?
To be honest, I don't miss you at all. We've only been apart for seven days. Who would miss you!
"Your Majesty, I miss everything about you. I miss your smile, your coat, your white socks, and your scent..."
The man frowned.
This girl speaks as if she's singing.
Maybe this woman just picked up the lyrics from somewhere and recited them to fool him.
He patted her back discreetly. "Alright, go to sleep."
Xiao Tang: "..."
My song isn't finished yet; the second half includes "I miss your kiss," you...
My lips suddenly felt warm.
【Oh my god?】
He came up to her and even pecked her.
"I want to die."
...
The next day, at the Xiao residence.
Xiao Tang arrived at the Xiao residence in a black dress.
White silk ribbons and white lanterns were hung outside the gate of the Xiao residence, indicating a funeral procession.
Unfortunately, almost no one came to the Xiao residence for the funeral today.
Aside from her impressive identity as a genius girl from Divine Calculation Mountain, Xiao Yingying really wasn't anything special.
Moreover, the court officials all realized that the Xiao family's power had already waned.
They don't need to curry favor with someone who's already losing power.
Xiao Yingying died, and not a single person from the Grand Commandant's family attended the funeral.
The scene was rather deserted.
Xiao Tang's appearance at the Xiao residence also aroused the vigilance of the entire Xiao family.
The guards and maids of the Xiao family stared at her with a mixture of fear and anger.
The steward came running at the sound, and upon seeing Xiao Tang, he angrily shouted, "Princess Regent, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Tang immediately burst into tears, "I came to see my sister, is that not allowed?"
She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking genuinely distressed.
The butler was about to reprimand him again when he was interrupted by a clear female voice.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Rourou lifted the hem of her black skirt and slowly walked towards Xiao Tang.
"My sister is here too." She still had makeup on, but her face was painted deathly white, which matched the funeral scene behind her perfectly.
