She's really going all out, even at the cost of everything.
Song Wuxia smiled leisurely, "The Crown Princess says I'm a fake eunuch, what evidence do you have to convince others?"
She didn't see the sudden flash of cold light in his eyes when she uttered the word "eunuch."
How many years has it been since anyone mentioned the word "eunuch" in front of him? It seems that ever since he took control of the West Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, everyone respectfully calls him "Lord Song" instead of "Eunuch Song".
Although Feng Guang didn't notice the subtle change in his expression, her intuition told her that she was in danger. In a moment of panic, she blurted out, "I'll tell everyone that I'm pregnant with your child!"
Song Wuxia paused, and remained silent for a long time.
After saying that, Feng Guang wanted to slap herself. Why did she have to bring up such a sore subject? Although what she said wasn't wrong—the best way to frame a eunuch for not being a eunuch was to say she was pregnant with his child—who was Song Wuxia? He wasn't an ordinary eunuch!
But words spoken are like water spilled, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and press on. "Don't think I'm lying. I have many ways to make people believe what I'm saying is true."
"Oh?" Song Wuxia gave a half-hearted laugh. "Then, Your Highness, why don't you tell me how you intend to prove your words?"
"I can... I can pretend to be pregnant for ten months, find another child to impersonate, and then I'll say that the child is yours!" Actually, there were many loopholes in what she said, and she knew it herself, but she had no choice; she couldn't lose face!
"The Crown Princess actually came up with such a perfect solution..." He smiled slightly, "It truly makes me look at her in a new light."
This is clearly ironic.
Feng Guang felt disrespected, but she also thought that if it were her, the sarcasm would probably be even harsher. So she could only bite her lip and adopt an attitude of "I am of higher status than you, so whatever I say is right." "Now you know how to be scared, right? Don't worry, I am magnanimous and won't hold it against you for talking back to me."
"Then I, Song, am truly grateful for the Crown Princess's magnanimity." He nodded slightly, revealing a large expanse of his chest.
Feng Guang forced herself to look away, saying, "Aren't you cold wearing so little?"
"Well... I was planning to take a bath, but I didn't expect the Crown Princess to barge in. If my unclean body has offended the Crown Princess's eyes, please forgive me."
What was said unintentionally may have been taken to heart by the listener.
The scenery suddenly fell silent.
Song Wuxia raised an eyebrow, puzzled as to why the person who had been so shameless just moments before had suddenly become so quiet. So he asked, "What is the Crown Princess thinking about?"
“I think…” she looked up, blinked at him, “your body is very beautiful and clean.”
To be honest, this statement would have been considered far too unrestrained in ancient times.
His pupils contracted slightly, his smile froze for a moment, and finally, he smiled again, "Thank you for the praise, Your Highness. I am unworthy of it."
"I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe me..." she murmured, looking quite dissatisfied. What she said was indeed the truth; no one could talk to someone like her about being unclean.
Song Wuxia withdrew his gaze from her, took a few steps, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and casually asked, "Why is the Crown Princess here?"
