Louis saluted her, "Queen."
The queen just smiled and walked past him without saying anything else. When she passed by Lan Shuang, she was very enthusiastic. She stretched out her hand to touch Lan Shuang's face and wanted to grab Lan Shuang's arm, but she didn't expect Lan Shuang to extend her left hand first, and the queen just held Lan Shuang's forearm.
The queen was stunned, and before she could say anything, Lan Shuang hissed first!
Then he shook off the queen's hand and stepped back. Ross immediately stepped forward to protect Lan Shuang, staring at the queen with cold eyes: "Why did you scratch her wound?"
The queen was stunned: "No, I didn't, it was her..."
"Her? Didn't you reach out your hand?" Ross's words were not fast, but they were very oppressive. The queen was speechless and could only say awkwardly, "I didn't mean to. I didn't know her arm was injured."
The king looked at the queen inquiringly. He usually trusted the queen, but just now he thought that if something happened to Lan Shuang, the ones who would benefit the most would be the queen and Lan Sisi.
The more he looked at the queen, the more he felt something was wrong.
The queen didn't know what the king was thinking. She wanted to bypass Luo Si and pull Lan Shuang's hand: "Shuang Shuang, you should know how I feel about you. Didn't you like me very much before? You should know that I didn't do this intentionally."
Lan Shuang: Haha, then I know exactly what you are talking about.
"Your Majesty, the Queen may not have meant it."
Lan Shuang said in an uncertain tone.
queen:"……"
Her face stiffened slightly, but she quickly covered it up. She looked at Lan Shuang thoughtfully, and no longer insisted on talking to her. Instead, she walked towards the king.
The king looked at her and nodded: "Why are you here?"
"I'm just worried that Your Majesty will punish Shuangshuang in a rage. She's quite pitiful. No one has taught her how to be a princess for so many years. If she's been disrespectful, Your Majesty, please forgive her. Everything will be fine once she gets married."
The queen seemed to be comforting Lan Shuang, but in fact, every word she said hit Lan Shuang in the sore spot.
After saying that, she glanced at Lan Shuang.
But Lan Shuang smiled at her and said, "It's okay. If you don't understand, you can learn. But getting married... forget it. Marrying would be embarrassing for His Majesty. It's better not to marry. It's not impossible to marry someone else."
The king pursed his lips and said, "I agree to what you said. Your engagement with Ossi will be cancelled effective immediately. I will tell the Senna family."
He glanced at Los who was beside Lan Shuang, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he didn't say anything in public. He waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest. Let the doctor take a look at the wound on your arm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lan Shuang bowed slightly, pulled Los and turned to leave.
queen:"……"
Is that it?
She blinked, suspecting she was dreaming, and turned to look at the king: "Your Majesty, you..."
"What's wrong?" The king turned to look at her. The queen rolled her eyes and said, "Nothing. I just feel that you treat Shuangshuang differently. I feel very relieved. We are all family. It's so nice to be so affectionate with each other."
The king nodded and said, "I was negligent in disciplining and caring for her in the past. Now she is not young anymore. I can no longer leave her alone."
The queen lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, she is old enough to get married now. It's too late to care about her now."
The king looked at her and didn't respond. "You go back first. I have something to ask Louis."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
The queen stood up and left, and the king looked at her back and fell into deep thought.
…
Lan Shuang took Los back to her own bedroom. Although she was not favored, her bedroom was still quite exquisite. After all, if she acted too shamefully in order to save face, it would still be the king's people who would be embarrassed.
When the maids saw Lan Shuang coming back, they all rushed over to greet her. Lan Shuang glanced around and didn't see her chief maid, Dai Xi, so she asked the others, "When did Dai Xi leave?"
The maids looked at each other and whispered, "Ever since she came back and reported the death of the eldest princess, she has been banished by the king."
Lan Shuang lowered her eyes and chuckled, "I see. Go get a doctor."
"It's...it's this late, the doctors should all go back to rest, right?"
The maids looked at each other, and none of them wanted to go.
Lan Shuang's face darkened. "It's not time to sleep yet, what are you resting for? Whether they come or not is their business. You are responsible for running errands and passing messages. I told you to go, so just go. You don't need to worry about anything else."
It was the first time she spoke in such a stern tone. The maids shuddered and immediately said, "Yes, we'll go right away!"
Two left and two stayed.
Lan Shuang glanced at them and said, "Go get some clean bedding and put it on my bed, and fill the bathtub with warm water."
"yes."
After everyone left, Lan Shuang held Luo Si's hand and softened her voice: "Come on, I'll take you to my room."
Ross nodded.
Lan Shuang's bedroom is very large and has several doors.
One led from the outside, one led to the bathroom, and one led to her own small dining room.
Normally, Lan Shuang eats alone in the small restaurant, not with the king and others.
When Los entered, he didn't see anything, but the first thing he noticed was the luxurious and soft big bed.
It is really big, and it feels like ten people can lie on it without feeling crowded. There are carved bedposts on all four sides, and light pink gauze is hung on them.
The window on one side was not closed, and the night wind blew in, causing the gauze to flutter, making it look a little dreamy.
Los didn't know what he was thinking about, and his gaze stayed on the gauze for a long time.
"How is it? Is it okay?" Lan Shuang looked back with a smile, "You can sleep with me tonight. The bathtub inside is very big. If you feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night, you can stay in the bathtub."
As they were talking, a maid came out of the bathroom and said to Lan Shuang, "Your Highness, the water is ready."
"Well, you guys go down and come back tomorrow morning. I didn't tell you not to come in."
"yes."
The maids closed the door, and the atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became ambiguous.
The flower-shaped wall lamp has soft light, which complements the white camellia in the crystal vase on the table, making it look romantic and gentle.
Lan Shuang looked around and was wondering whether to close the window when she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, and then her whole body was lifted into the air.
"Los?"
The next moment she fell onto the bed and bounced twice. Before she could get up, a shadow quickly covered her.
Lan Shuang subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on Los's shoulder.
Ross looked down at her with an ambiguous look in his eyes and his lips tightly pursed, as if he was angry.
"What's wrong?" Lan Shuang noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she reached out and touched his back.
Los's whole body was tense, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
Lan Shuang frowned, but this subtle little movement touched Los's sensitive nerves. He reached out and pinched Lan Shuang's chin. At first, the force was a bit too strong, and Lan Shuang showed an expression of pain. Los immediately loosened his grip and gently pressed his index finger against Lan Shuang's jaw, asking her to raise her head and look directly into his eyes.
