Xiao Tang had just rushed back into the house, waiting for the system to release the last unlocking task.
They were eager to get started.
Waiting for the points to be unlocked and credited to my account.
But……
She ultimately underestimated the system's dogs.
[Beep, host, the final unlocking task is now being issued.]
"Tell me quickly!" she exclaimed, unable to contain herself any longer.
[Please return to your position as the Queen and spend more than 24 hours warming the villain's bed to complete the task.]
[...]
Dog system, what did you say?
Is my mother deaf?
No, no, no, it must be a misunderstanding on her part!!!
The system is already outrageous that it's making her warm the bed for the main villain, but now it's going to take more than 24 hours, which means 48 hours!
Assuming an average person gets eight hours of sleep with excellent sleep quality, how long would it take her... six days to unlock it?
[Damn system, you better explain yourself! What kind of ridiculous unlocking mission is this?!]
[Host, this is for your own good, so that you can better and faster cure the villain's poison and earn more points.]
Listen to this, what kind of tea talk is this?
Even the system is so incompetent!
What's in her best interest?
It's clearly a system designed to fawn over a major villain, forcing her to warm the villain's bed.
She really wanted to throw down the table and quit.
[Host, don't be angry. We can actually negotiate for the sake of points, right?]
Xiao Tang's brow twitched. "Need for negotiation? Tell me, what need is there for negotiation? Give me a discount? Half price? 24 hours, please!"
Even if you accumulate 24 hours, it will still take three days.
Thinking about this made her feel very tired...
At midnight...
Ruyi was woken up by the princess.
Moreover, the princess was carrying two large bundles. Ruyi asked, "Princess?"
"Shh, let's sneak back to the palace. Once we're back, we'll coordinate our story. We'll say we went out of the city for a stroll, got lost, and only returned today. Understand?"
Ruyi, just waking from a dream, had no idea what was going on and nodded in confusion.
She was stunned after she nodded.
this……
If the Regent finds out, they'll die a horrible death, won't they?
Xiao Tang patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, the Regent won't be that petty."
Hmm...
Didn't that man say that if she obediently went back, he would let bygones be bygones?
...
Emperor Jingling imprisoned the Seventh Prince in the Imperial Prison and ordered the Dali Temple to investigate. The news spread throughout the capital in an instant.
The next day, he did not search for Xiao Tang's whereabouts, but escorted the emperor back to the palace.
He entered the palace to handle official business and did not return to the Regent's Palace until nightfall.
Just as the man was about to push open the bedroom door—
[Oh my god, this jade bed is so cold, how can it possibly warm up?]
[Damn system, I've kept track of every single one of these debts. Just you wait!]
Xiao Tang?
What are you doing in his bedchamber?
He had long anticipated that Xiao Tang would inevitably return to the Regent's Palace.
Based on this alone, he didn't need to specifically bring her back from Lingyin Temple.
only……
creak—
Hearing the sound, Xiao Tang looked up at the man who had entered the bedchamber.
He was truly exceptionally handsome, with a radiant and captivating presence!
The man took long strides and approached her.
Xiao Tang's heart pounded faster than usual, and she swallowed hard a few times. "My lord, you're back!"
Her voice was so gentle and charming that it seemed to permeate her very bones.
Di Jingling had already reached the bedside, his chilling aura subsiding.
"The princess disappeared for several days, why has she suddenly returned today?"
He spoke in a low, casual tone, as if discussing the weather.
Xiao Tang's smile vanished, replaced by an expression of trepidation. She immediately scrambled out of bed and threw herself into Di Jingling's arms, wrapping her arms around the man's lean waist.
"Waaah, Your Highness, I was so scared! I took Ruyi out of the city to go for a stroll, but we got lost and only just made it back to the manor now."
"Every day and night while I'm away, I think of Your Highness. I wonder if you're eating well, sleeping soundly, and warmly dressed."
"Your Majesty..."
The man grabbed her chin, which also interrupted her.
He said coldly, "The princess is truly considering my well-being."
She pretended to laugh through her tears, "My lord, it's really what I should do."
"Then...shouldn't the Princess explain the issue of the divorce papers she left behind?"
