Upon hearing this, Liu Lingxi's face flushed completely red.
She was already shy, and after hearing this, she was even more at a loss, her eyes darting around nervously.
Those slender, white hands stirred and stirred, almost tearing the handkerchief in their hands to shreds.
Her ear tips were so red they seemed to bleed, and her alluring charm almost made Sheng Jin stare in disbelief, even tempting him to stay.
However, before Sheng Jin could even have such a thought, Liu Lingxi glared at him with a look that was both shy and angry, and shut him down.
Before Sheng Jin could say anything, Liu Lingxi hurriedly stood up and curtsied to Sheng Jin.
She seemed slightly flustered, but her every move still exuded a natural charm, especially when she walked past Sheng Jin with her head down, her lotus-like steps light and graceful, carrying with them a fragrant breeze.
Sheng Jin watched her leave almost as she did, her heart pounding with excitement. She clenched her fists, afraid that she might do something out of control.
Alright, let's give Xi'er some more time...
Sheng Jin silently tried to comfort himself, but only he knew the extent of his resentment churning within him.
His eyes were filled with a dark, turbulent light, like ocean waves, threatening to engulf everything.
Please don't keep me waiting too long, Xi'er... I can't wait any longer...
Perhaps it was because Sheng Jin's gaze was too intense, or perhaps it was because Liu Lingxi was too timid, but in any case, the slender figure walked faster and faster, and soon disappeared from Sheng Jin's sight.
Everyone remained silent throughout the journey.
The people in the palace were all extremely perceptive. Perhaps they had been warned, or perhaps they were afraid of dying, but in any case, everyone was very self-aware and dared not say anything.
By the time Liu Lingxi returned to the West Warm Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was getting dark.
Ye Zhi carefully observed his mistress's expression throughout the journey. Seeing the confusion and helplessness on his Crown Princess's face, Ye Zhi's face was filled with worry.
She didn't know how things had turned out this way, and she was even more anxious.
"Your Majesty..."
Yeats couldn't help but speak up.
Hearing her maid's voice, Liu Lingxi turned her head blankly, her mind replaying the scenes from her previous life, unable to figure out where things had gone wrong.
"Ye Zhi, go out."
Liu Lingxi knew that Ye Zhi couldn't help her, and no one could help her either, and she didn't want Ye Zhi to worry.
"...Yes, Your Majesty."
Ye Zhi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped, but in the end she did not disobey Liu Lingxi's order.
However, she was truly worried, fearing that Liu Lingxi might do something foolish if she left.
So, before Ye Zhi even reached the palace gate, he turned around and prayed to Liu Lingxi.
"Your Majesty, think of the little prince in your womb, and the Crown Prince who is on official business in Jiangnan. You... must persevere."
"Don't worry, I'm just tired and want to rest."
Liu Lingxi's voice carried a faint weariness, as if all her energy had been exhausted.
That slender figure, so delicate and frail, resembled a snow plum blossom blooming in the cold wind—beautiful yet all the more heartbreaking.
Ye Zhi dared not disturb her any further, but after receiving Liu Lingxi's reply, she finally felt a little more at ease.
As long as Your Majesty doesn't do anything foolish.
After Ye Zhi left, Liu Lingxi completely relaxed, leaned against the window, and stared blankly at the empty space on the desk.
Your Highness... what should she do now?
