"Who dares to hit my beloved concubine?"
In short, he successfully broke up the confrontational atmosphere in the park.
Instantly, a chill filled the air.
Upon hearing the man's voice, Duke Xiao's entire body began to tremble, and his legs shook.
He hadn't expected the regent to arrive!
Didn't they say before that the Regent didn't care about Xiao Tang at all and let Xiao Tang return to her parents' home alone?
He never expected that Di Jingling would reappear!
Their appearance was meant to give him a hard time.
Even though he knew he was Di Jingling's father-in-law, he didn't have the courage to actually call himself that. His knees buckled, and he knelt down.
"Your Majesty, why...why have you come?"
The way he knelt was truly servile.
Xiao Tang rolled her eyes.
Turning around, I saw Xiao Rourou looking pitiful, with red eyes, as if she had been bullied.
Di Yanhen pursed his lips, as if facing a formidable enemy.
As the atmosphere froze, the handsome man in the black robe walked towards Xiao Tang.
He approached Xiao Tang's side, looking down at the Duke of Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground almost prostrate. "Did you just insult my princess?"
One sentence was enough to make Duke Xiao, who was prostrate on the ground, tremble with fear.
Xiao Tang was a little surprised and looked at the man.
Goodness, why has he suddenly changed his personality?
Or perhaps it was a performance for the female lead in the distance?
The thought had just flashed through her mind when suddenly she was pulled by a force around her waist. Without resisting, she was pulled directly into the man's arms.
A warm embrace suddenly enveloped her.
Xiao Tang's eyes widened slightly.
[Oh my god, to impress the female lead, he even has to act out a scene where he throws himself into her arms?]
She glanced up and stole a look at the man.
They met the man's deep, dark eyes.
Their eyes met.
I think I understood what he meant by his look. Was he telling me to play along with his act?
[Okay! I'm quite professional when it comes to acting!]
She lowered her head, revealing a shy and timid expression.
She complained shyly and aggrievedly, "My lord, this Duke Xiao wants to beat me, he wants to beat me into a pig's head, sob sob~"
She raised her little hand and wiped away non-existent tears from the corner of her eye, seemingly feeling quite aggrieved.
"He even insulted me! I could tolerate that, but he insulted the Regent by saying he was blind! I simply cannot bear it!"
Duke Xiao, who was prostrate on the ground, suddenly raised his head.
He was furious and pointed his trembling finger at Xiao Tang.
"You, you, you, utter nonsense! How could I possibly call the Regent blind? How could I..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Tang deliberately raised the last syllable.
His eyes held a hint of smugness.
Duke Xiao also stopped speaking abruptly, not daring to open his mouth again.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
Knowing this was the case, he still wanted to explain a few more words in the face of the Regent's terrifying gaze...
Di Jingling gave a cool snort: "Yan Jiu, Duke Xiao has been disrespectful to me. Slap him."
Yan Jiu responded.
"Your Highness, come with me." He didn't say much, picked Xiao Tang up by the waist and left.
It was obviously an urgent matter.
Xiao Tang had a vague idea of what was going on.
Is the Emperor about to collapse? Should I go and treat his illness?
Once she left the Duke's mansion, she was thrown onto a horse.
Immediately, Di Jingling mounted his horse.
The man rode swiftly into the palace.
The few people left in the Duke's mansion stared at each other blankly.
Xiao Rourou watched helplessly as the Regent Prince led Xiao Tang away in such an intimate manner...
The Regent clearly disliked being touched by women...
Back when the Regent was still the Ninth Prince, a woman, unafraid of death, climbed into his bed, only to be dismembered and thrown into the Netherworld Forest to be fed to hyenas.
The bed that the woman had slept in was subsequently dismantled and replaced.
From that time on, no woman dared to take that risk again...
But now, Xiao Tang... can?
