To my surprise, the dress actually suited Xiao Tang quite well.
The woman wore only a delicate and elegant makeup, and her hair was adorned with no jewelry, yet her porcelain-white skin, glowing in the sunlight, was exceptionally radiant.
Her already exquisite and beautiful features became even more radiant and captivating after the makeover.
Even her every move exuded an ethereal quality.
Her appearance is even comparable to that of the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Of course, the premise is...
If Xiao Tang doesn't speak.
"Your Highness, I'm late~ You must have been waiting for me with bated breath, weren't you?"
When her affectedly coquettish voice came, Di Jingling immediately lost the mood to appreciate her beauty.
Ugh~ This dress is so pretty, but why is it so hot?
[Do you even realize it's 35 degrees Celsius in summer? I really want to tear some shorts.]
The man's forehead veins bulged as he listened.
"Aren't you coming up?" he said impatiently.
Xiao Tang didn't intentionally delay; seeing his impatient expression, she immediately got into the carriage.
After last night's farce, the system gifted me a human skin mask.
But the third task has not yet been released...
She had a vague feeling that the unreliable system would suddenly try to sabotage her...
[Ding~ Host, the third task has been issued today. If you complete it, the system will reward you with another human skin mask.]
【Hmm...so what is it?】
[The task is for the host to leave a tooth mark on the villain's face; this will count as mission completion.]
[...]
Xiao Tang's brow twitched violently, and she suddenly looked up.
Caught off guard, they found themselves face to face with the main villain.
This was definitely not a good mission!
Looking at the perfect, jade-like face before him, would it be reasonable for him to bite a tooth mark on it?
She should give up.
One disguise mask is enough.
The man on the other side was also staring at her, and naturally heard her conversation with the system, so he frowned slightly.
Um……
That thing called a system, does it want to die?
Xiao Tang had too many secrets, which aroused his intense interest.
The man slowly lowered his eyes and turned his gaze away.
Xiao Tang was fidgeting with her fingers, unaware that the man had already read her mind perfectly.
The carriage was halfway through its journey when it suddenly lurched.
The coachman, caught off guard, suddenly pulled on the reins.
It turned out that a guard in brocade robes had come galloping on horseback and blocked their way.
Yan Jiu rebuked him angrily: "You audacious guard, how dare you stop the Regent's carriage!"
The guard in brocade robes couldn't say much, his expression was very hurried. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor vomited blood today and is now delirious, demanding to see you."
this……
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tang immediately pulled open the carriage curtain.
A pang of heartache flashed in the guard's eyes: "The imperial physician said... said... that His Majesty's days are numbered."
This guard was the emperor's personal bodyguard.
The fact that they came in such a hurry means they must really be on the verge of collapse.
[Sigh, there really is a chapter in the book where the emperor vomits blood and becomes completely delirious. From that point on, all important affairs of the court are entrusted to the regent.]
Now it seems, this is the place.
Yan Jiu glanced at Di Jingling and cautiously inquired, "Your Highness, this..."
Xiao Tang's eyes lit up, and she immediately put on a wise and proper demeanor: "Your Highness, this matter cannot be delayed. Please go to the palace quickly. Such a small matter as returning to one's parents' home can be handled by me alone."
The man turned to look at her.
Her eyes held a hint of feigned shyness, as if she were extremely understanding.
[Look at me, look again, look again and I'll eat you up!]
Your brother is about to collapse, aren't you going to leave?
[Hmph, going back to the Duke's mansion is something I'd be happy to do if you came back with me. I could easily teach that female lead a lesson, and you'd even feel sorry for her.]
She'd disliked Xiao Rourou for a long time!
I really want to slap her twice to vent my frustration as a reader!
