Sheng Changling wasn't annoyed by being pushed. He coughed, straightened his clothes as if nothing had happened, and dared not look at Liu Lingxi again.
Despite his thoughts, unfortunately, his gaze was completely out of his control and involuntarily fell upon the person he longed to see.
The woman's eyes were sparkling, and her red lips were slightly parted. Perhaps because of the kiss just now, her lips were even more vibrant, like a peony in full bloom, tempting one to pick it.
Sheng Changling was mesmerized. He had always coveted women, and now his heart burned even hotter, and he wanted to pull her into his arms.
In the blink of an eye, she saw Su Lin kneeling on the ground again. Thinking of how he had interrupted her good time, she was immediately furious.
"You dog of a servant, you have no sense of propriety! How dare you disturb my enjoyment?"
As Sheng Changling spoke, he lifted his foot, but then put it down again for fear of startling the people behind him.
"If you don't have anything important to say, you're going to get a beating!"
Su Lin looked bitter, showing no relief at all that she had escaped unscathed. After all, judging from the current situation, her master probably didn't even remember Miss Jiang anymore.
I shouldn't have let my mind wander and disturbed my master's good time.
"This servant deserves to die! It was Miss Jiang who barged into the palace, claiming she wanted to see me, and that's why...that's why..."
Miss Jiang?
Upon hearing this name, Liu Lingxi immediately tensed up and listened intently.
If she wasn't mistaken, this Miss Jiang was probably the murderer who killed her in her past life—Jiang Wuyou!
I never expected Jiang Wuyou to find me here. If I'm not mistaken, Jiang Wuyou will soon become the Empress of Sheng Changling, and then she will kill me.
Thinking of this, Liu Lingxi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt as if something was pressing down on her heart, making it heavy and hard to breathe.
Her little hands unconsciously gripped Sheng Changling's sleeve tightly, her fingers turning white from nervousness.
Liu Lingxi really wanted to tell Sheng Changling not to see Jiang Wuyou, but she wasn't familiar with men, so she opened her mouth but couldn't get the words out.
She didn't know that Sheng Changling was naturally on her side, and that she would get everything she wanted even if she did nothing.
That person probably wished he could rip out his own heart and give it to her.
Unfortunately, Liu Lingxi is too timid now, and can't even do a careful test.
Because Sheng Changling had his back to Liu Lingxi, he didn't see her subtle expressions and thus missed an opportunity to express his feelings.
When he heard Su Lin say that, he couldn't remember who Miss Jiang was for a moment.
"Wait a minute, Miss Jiang, which Miss Jiang? And how did she get into the palace? Are the guards just sitting around doing nothing, letting in someone with no legitimate background?"
Sheng Changling's brows were furrowed so deeply they could have caught a mosquito, and his expression was not good either, clearly indicating that he was very dissatisfied with the reply.
“Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is Miss Wuyou. Since she was able to enter... may this servant go and ask her some more questions.”
Su Lin answered cautiously, trying to make amends for his mistake and wanting to get out of there as soon as possible to avoid being punished again.
Sheng Changling tried hard to recall this person from his mind, and finally remembered that she should be Empress Dowager Jiang's niece, whom he had wanted to get close to in order to obtain the throne.
But after seeing Xi'er, he immediately abandoned the idea and never saw the woman again.
As for what she did after that, he hadn't paid any attention. He couldn't figure out why she had come to see him so suddenly.
Never covet what doesn't belong to you, otherwise...
