Xiao Tang hadn't eaten breakfast after getting up, and she was gagging for a while, but nothing came out.
When she calmed down a little, she looked up and found a gaze so cold it could melt ice piercing her face.
She looked up at him, puzzled.
The man's cold gaze swept across her face, his eyes seemingly filled with an unfathomable darkness, like a bottomless abyss.
What's going on? That look is like it wants to eat someone alive.
[Tsk, the original author was right; the book describes the main villain as a cannibalistic demon according to popular belief.]
[Wait, his expression changed!]
It's getting darker and darker; even ink isn't this concentrated.
Di Jingling pinched the bridge of his nose, suppressing the urge to strangle the woman, and coldly rebuked, "Behave yourself!"
Xiao Tang immediately sat up straight.
"Your Highness, I will behave myself and be obedient."
Did she have any other choice but to share a carriage with someone else?
Goodness, the villain's mood is so unpredictable, is he having his period?
Sigh, men always have a few days each month when they're in a bad mood.
Di Jingling slowly clenched and unclenched his hands on his knees, repeating this several times until he managed to suppress his emotions.
My aunt's husband is visiting?
His great-aunt's husband, well, he's long dead!
The carriage came to a steady stop outside the palace.
Xiao Tang was about to get off the carriage when she remembered something and turned back, a fake smile plastered on her face.
"Your Highness, you have just recovered from a serious illness. Shall I help you down from the carriage?"
They proactively reached out their little hands.
Come on, you paper doll, I'll crush your paws!
Di Jingling, who had originally intended to extend her hand, suddenly withdrew it for some reason.
He gave Xiao Tang a deep look.
What is this woman made of? Her acting skills are so superb.
Oh!
Xiao Tang remained calm despite his glare, bracing herself to continue playing the role of "virtuous and gentle princess." "Your Highness, I know you are so weak that you can't even lift your hands. Here, it's alright, I'll help you!"
As she spoke, she actually took Di Jingling's large hand.
With a sudden force, the man was pulled off the carriage.
The force was so great that even the guards driving the carriage were shocked.
Even Di Jingling himself had not expected that this woman's strength was so great.
The moment Xiao Tang grabbed his wrist, she quickly took his pulse again.
[This villain forced me to create an antidote within three days. I can't let the reputation of the Xuan Yi Sect be ruined like this.]
[I can give him the antidote little by little, keeping this villain firmly under my control. Wouldn't that be wonderful?]
At the same time, Di Jingling had already withdrawn his large hand from her jade-like hand.
When he heard this, a wicked smile curved his thin, exquisite lips.
Women have so many thoughts.
He wanted to see just how capable this woman was, daring to use the antidote to control him.
Inside the Qiankun Hall.
The emperor and empress dowager were already seated on high thrones, waiting for the two to come and offer them a toast.
Of course, it wasn't just the Regent and Xiao Tang who came to offer toasts today; the Seventh Prince and Seventh Princess had also arrived earlier.
[OMG, this is a chaotic scene, amazing!]
[Male lead, female lead, villain—we've got them all.]
Xiao Tang chuckled inwardly, his cold gaze sweeping over Xiao Rourou, who was serving tea to the Empress Dowager in the distance.
The woman, dressed in a graceful white gown, slowly approached the Empress Dowager with delicate steps, and spoke in a soft, charming voice: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
From Xiao Tang's perspective, all he could see was Xiao Rou Rou's stunningly beautiful profile; her smooth lines were indeed breathtakingly beautiful.
The Empress Dowager was no ordinary person after all. Her cold, sharp gaze swept over Xiao Rourou before she slowly reached out and took the teacup.
Right now—
Beep beep!
The system sounded an alarm that kept ringing in her mind, but Xiao Tang remained completely calm.
Oh dear, the poison in that cup of tea, though late, will eventually arrive!
