Chapter 434 My wife finally remembered me.
The boy had no expression, only lazily glancing at Xiao Tang.
His eyes were unseen, mocking her.
Outside the window, dark clouds loomed over the city.
The atmosphere inside the hall was eerie.
Everyone focused their attention, held their breath, and prepared to wait for the bell to ring.
A quarter of an hour passed...
Half an incense stick's time passed... and there was no sound.
An incense stick's time has passed, and there's still no sound!
The entire morning court session was wasted here!
The baby lay on the ground in his swaddling clothes, whimpering and kicking his chubby little feet, completely unaware that danger might be approaching.
Finally, Xiao Tang got sleepy and let out a big yawn.
She's almost asleep...
She leaned against Di Jingling's chest and said in a muffled voice, "Husband, I'm so sleepy. I can't wait any longer. Shall I go to sleep?"
Di Jingling gave a soft "hmm".
"My lord, please wake me up when we arrive."
The man holding her gave a soft "hmm" and tightened his embrace without making a sound.
When his gaze fell on the boy again, his eyes were cold and impatient. "When can you prove it?"
The boy suddenly felt embarrassed, his face showing awkwardness.
He turned his head and exchanged glances with the ministers around him, and felt their gazes, some mocking him, some disdainful of him, and some questioning him.
He was clearly flustered and shouted at the minister who had questioned him, "It's this baby that's wrong, it's too ugly. How could a demon spirit possibly like to eat something like this?"
It was quite different from his gloomy and composed demeanor just now.
Xiao Tang had already yawned several times in a row.
She was now completely certain that the boy could not summon it.
It's not a matter of how big or ugly the baby is; the demon spirit has no idea what beauty or ugliness is.
The reason is that the bell will alert the demon spirit.
not to mention……
To prevent the young man from getting his way, she deliberately slipped a talisman into her bosom, which would cause demons to retreat at the mere sight of it from a radius of a hundred miles away.
This young man from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave is too arrogant; she's going to put an end to his arrogance.
This incident must have been too much of a blow to the boy; he threw the bell away, turned around, and rushed out.
After all, they were proven wrong this time.
The young man, who had never been questioned before, stumbled for the first time in this grand hall, in front of all the civil and military officials.
Seeing the young man flee in disarray, the ministers naturally turned their attention to Marquis Rong'an.
The boy just said...
If they fail to summon it, if they miscalculate, then Marquis Rong'an will be beheaded.
Marquis Rong'an's expression changed drastically, and he immediately explained, "This matter has nothing to do with me. Although the demon spirit was not summoned, the child did not die."
The agreement at the time stipulated that if the baby died, they would have to pay with their lives.
But now, the baby is perfectly fine.
Xiao Tang smiled and said, "It seems that Rong Anhou's cousin has suffered a shock. Rong Anhou should go back and comfort him as soon as possible, lest he be sad and upset and do something rash."
"Dismiss the court." Di Jingling's thin lips moved slightly, his low voice carrying an inherent sense of intimidation.
After the court session.
Xiao Tang took Di Jingling's arm and left the house, heading back to the manor, with Marquis Rong'an following behind them.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
The two of them turned to look at him.
"What can I do for you, Lord Marquis?" Xiao Tang asked with a smile as always.
The moment such a question is asked, you know that the princess's smile is not well-intentioned.
Yan Jiu and Yan Shi both looked at Marquis Rong'an with sympathy, and could only say that this marquis should pray for his own good fortune.
Marquis Rong'an was completely unaware of this, and simply thought that the Princess Consort was indeed easier to talk to and much gentler than the Prince.
"Your Highness, I dare not offer any advice."
However, he was only there to talk to Xiao Tang, so he didn't notice the slight displeasure in Di Jingling's eyes.
"Your Highness, I acted rashly today. Please do not hold my cousin accountable."
"But this matter of eating infants should be resolved as soon as possible, after all, the people are also in a state of panic."
Oh my, I never knew you, Marquis, cared so much for the common people!
I never really noticed that before.
The man beside her instantly turned icy cold.
Has he been completely ignored?
He was still ignored by both of them. Did they think he was dead?!
[Ugh, where did this air conditioning come from? It's getting colder and colder. Spring is here, why is it still so chilly?]
The heavy rain outside the palace had already subsided somewhat.
Yan Jiu and Yan Shi held umbrellas for the Regent and his wife, but Marquis Rong'an had no umbrella to shield him from the rain.
He came alone, without any other guards or maids.
Raindrops fell on his hair and court robes, pattering softly.
Compared to the couple under the umbrella, he looked visibly disheveled.
Xiao Tang: "If there is nothing else, Lord Marquis, please leave. My husband and I have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave now."
She tugged at Di Jingling.
The man who had been standing beside her, radiating coldness, suddenly brightened his dark eyes.
My wife has finally remembered me...
Xiao Tang pulled him away.
Marquis Rong'an stopped him in a few steps, "The Princess Consort said last time that she could resolve this, but I don't know what method she used. Let's resolve this as soon as possible."
No wonder they tried to stop me; they were trying to trick me into telling them what was going on.
You should have said so earlier! I wouldn't have told you then, haha.
Xiao Tang tilted her head. "There is a method, of course, but I don't want to tell you."
Marquis Rong'an: ...
The couple left hand in hand, without looking back at him.
In that instant, Marquis Rong'an began to have doubts.
