Di Jingling sneered: "I said you were lying, why does the Princess Consort have such an expression?"
"Huh? Your Majesty... what kind of expression is that?"
She rubbed her face.
"Your Majesty is deeply grieved!"
"I see you are very happy."
"Where... Waaah, I'm just overwhelmed with sorrow and now I'm overjoyed."
"..." Di Jingling felt an urge to bite her to death.
Something's not right. He looks like he hates me so much, this is dangerous...
Right now, I really want to run away, but... I can't escape, waah!
I have a pain in my jaw.
It was pinched by two fingers.
But ironically, the temperature of those fingertips was icy cold.
Xiao Tang's skin was already thin, and it turned red easily when pinched.
Seeing this, he loosened his grip slightly, looking somewhat annoyed.
He gently rubbed the reddened area with his fingertips.
"Tell me, Your Highness, are you hiding another man?"
"Ah, this..."
Good grief, do you have X-ray vision?
I'm starting to suspect that the way you disguised yourself as a bodyguard... you weren't actually following me all along, were you?
Wait a minute, what's the main villain trying to achieve by doing this?
If the concern was that she might abscond with the money, there would have been no need to give her the land deeds and those account books in the first place.
If he's worried about her... that doesn't seem like the behavior of a major villain.
Xiao Tang's mind was in a daze, but she still weakly explained, "Husband, your concubine...no."
"No?"
"How could I dare... At most... I just hid a sick person, hehe."
[Fine, I'll just confess and be lenient. I'll take the plunge.]
Brother Geng, don't blame me at all. I really didn't mean to expose you.
“My lord, the city lord… was injured. I was just tending to his wounds. I was afraid you would misunderstand.”
Xiao Tang explained, a pitiful glint in her eyes.
Look at my pitiful little eyes, aren't you touched?
The man's lips twitched slightly.
To be honest, he wasn't moved at all; in fact, he even felt a bit like biting her.
He released Xiao Tang and walked to the wardrobe.
Xiao Tang covered her face, not daring to look at the wardrobe again.
[It's over, bro. Good luck to you. I... can't help you anymore.]
creak—
The wardrobe is open.
Xiao Tang dared not look.
I'm afraid that the villain's violent palm strike will kill me.
Until the Regent's icy voice rang out: "What are you hiding for? If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you hiding?"
Geng Zhuo knelt down with a thud.
He was rendered mute by the acupuncture point, and he waved his hands excitedly, wishing he could prove his innocence.
Xiao Tang realized that the terrible thing hadn't happened and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She rushed forward and released Geng Zhuo's speech acupoint.
“My husband… he… he is actually quite pitiful.”
"Hmm?" He glanced to the side, his brow furrowing slightly.
Xiao Tang immediately shut up.
She was genuinely worried that if she said too much, this guy might act impulsively and take Geng Zhuo's life.
After all, that young man was quite pitiful.
Geng Zhuo hurriedly kowtowed to Xiao Tang, "Your Highness, rest assured, I am the Regent's man, please do not worry..."
[These words... could it be...?]
[Does the main villain have a secret, unspeakable relationship with this person?]
[OMG, I've discovered some incredible secret!]
After all, Geng Zhuo's words "the Regent's man" made Xiao Tang subconsciously think the wrong thing.
She had suspected more than once that the regent might have gone from being a fanatical fanatic who couldn't have the female lead to a homosexual.
after all……
Why bother with a female lead? Aren't there plenty of handsome men across the Five Continents?
Di Jingling glared at her.
He was so angry that he wanted to crush Geng Zhuo's skull right now.
"Xiao Tang!"
When someone calls her by her full name, it means they are genuinely angry.
Xiao Tang pretended to be so frightened that she held her breath.
But all I wanted to do was roll my eyes.
【What's wrong? I didn't say a word. Did I prick your little Geng Geng and you're angry?】
The woman lowered her head and hunched her neck, looking like a wronged young wife.
"My lord, I was wrong. I will never dare to prick the city lord with needles again..."
“That’s not what I meant.” Di Jingling pinched the bridge of his nose. “He is my subordinate and also an undercover agent who has infiltrated the bandit gang.”
What exactly did Xiao Tang take him for?
Homosexuality?
Oh!
It seems that he, as the husband, did not give the princess enough care, otherwise how could she have such a misunderstanding?
"this……"
Oh, I see. I'm a little disappointed. What a pity.
My divorce petition has failed once again.
Geng Zhuo secretly glanced at the expressions of the two people, unsure of what to say.
Awkward.
The terrifying atmosphere that had been hanging in the room only dissipated after Di Jingling pulled Xiao Tang away.
Geng Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
He was grateful to be alive.
That night.
Xiao Tang lay there, turning her head to glance at the man sleeping beside her. His stunning profile was still breathtakingly handsome even in the dim light.
She paused, then called him softly, "Husband~?"
[Big pot, sleeping soundly.]
But I can't sleep.
He rolled over.
She was facing the direction of the main villain.
Admiring someone's sleeping face.
The atmosphere was originally tranquil.
The man spoke abruptly: "From tomorrow onwards, I will merely be your bodyguard, understand?"
Xiao Tang was startled.
He hurriedly turned over.
[Damn, you were just faking being asleep!]
