The king looked at her gloomily and agreed.
Lan Shuang nodded to everyone and said, "I won't be attending tonight's dinner. I'm feeling a little down. Excuse me."
As she said this, she took Ross's hand and strode away with the king rolling his eyes.
Los said very little the entire time, and no one cared about his identity. Seeing how close he was to Lan Shuang, they could guess it was almost certain. Then, considering that Osi and the eldest princess had broken off their engagement, no one could understand it at first, but now...
Well, look at Osi and then look at Los, no matter in terms of temperament or appearance and figure, there is no comparison at all. It doesn't seem surprising that the eldest princess would make such a choice.
After Lan Shuang and Los disappeared outside the door, everyone turned around and looked at the king.
The king glanced at Dai Xi kneeling on the ground, then looked at the queen who had not saluted, and his anger rose. "Queen, where are your manners?"
The queen said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please listen to me. I couldn't move just now..."
She was halfway through her words when she suddenly froze. Could she make a sound?
As she spoke, she raised her hand and found that she could move it. The king's expression became even uglier: "Oh?"
The Queen: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation! It's really not what you think. I really couldn't move just now. It was... it was that Los who did it. He must be able to use magic! Yes, it must be like this!"
She was so excited as if she had found some evidence, but the king's eyes made her hard to understand. It was like a basin of cold water poured over her head, leaving her feeling chilled to the bone.
"Duxilun, Queen, come with me, and take Daixi away with you!" The king ordered in a deep voice. Louis and the captain of the guard immediately took action separately. Louis went to invite Duxilun, "Lord Duxilun, please--"
Du Xilun looked at him, gritted his teeth, and followed him.
The queen walked down the platform in silence. When she passed by the king, she wanted to say something, but the king didn't even look at her, so she had to shut up.
After everyone left, the hall fell into a dead silence. The king forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I'll make this known to the world once I've investigated it thoroughly. Let's continue the dinner and have fun everyone."
After saying that, he strode out with his men. He came like a gust of wind and left like a tornado. After the rage, he left behind a group of confused people.
So the host of the dinner left, the host left, and the king left. Who were they welcoming back?
This absurd dinner party was still held stubbornly, but no one cared about it anymore, and it turned directly into a gossip party. Everyone ate, danced and talked about what had just happened.
It even turned into a large-scale betting scene. Some people thought that the queen was finished this time, some people thought that Dusilen was finished, and some people thought that the king would just let it go. The parties were deadlocked and each thought that what they said was reasonable. They almost came to a fight. In the end, they made a bet and waited for the final result.
No one noticed that Lan Sisi had quietly left, went out through the side door, got on the carriage, and followed the king and his entourage.
…
After Lan Shuang and Los returned to the bedroom, Lan Shuang borrowed a sword from the guard at the gate.
The guards were puzzled but didn't dare to ask more questions.
Lan Shuang walked into the bedroom with a sword. The maids at the door were shocked when they saw it, but Lan Shuang had no intention of explaining to them and went straight into the room.
Ross closed the door behind her, "Are you going to kill someone soon?"
Lan Shuang took out the handkerchief she had used to wipe Dai Xi's face and wiped the sword with it. She turned around and said with a smile, "I didn't say I would let Dai Xi live. I just let her choose."
Los raised her eyebrows slightly and thought carefully. She really didn't say a word about letting Dai Xi go, but most people thought she meant to let Dai Xi go after hearing what she said. Maybe Dai Xi thought so too?
With a clang, Lan Shuang threw the sword onto the table beside her and sat down on the bed. "Ah... I'm a little tired. I really don't like places with so many people. I'm so tired from laughing that my face is frozen."
Ross walked over, held her face and rubbed it up and down.
Lan Shuang: "...what are you doing?"
"Didn't you say your face was stiff? Let me rub it for you." Los said seriously, as if he really meant it.
Lan Shuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry so she slapped his hand down: "Skin."
Ross finally laughed and pecked the slightly red face from being rubbed by him. "Stop bothering me. Didn't we reveal the true identities of Dusilen and the Queen today? The King will probably punish them, right?"
He said so, but he didn't really think so in his heart. The queen has been with the king for so many years, and even if there is no love, there is still family affection. It is not so easy to overthrow her, not to mention that this time it is indeed only Daixi's one-sided statement.
I guess the queen shed some tears and acted out some sad scenes, and the king then gave her a light punishment and let her go.
Lan Shuang thought the same, and the smile on her face faded a little. "The King? There's no point relying on him. The reason I chose to expose this matter today is to destroy the disguise of the Queen and Du Xilun, plant a seed of doubt in everyone's hearts, and hand it over to the King for disposal. Firstly, it is to save his face. If I go over his head and fight with the Queen, he will think I am aggressive and that I don't trust him by going over his head."
"He'll feel like his dignity has been challenged, and that will do more harm than good to me." Lan Shuang pinched Ross's fingers playfully. "Besides, if the Queen and I get into a fight over Dai Xi, it'll only make me look impatient. If the Queen keeps pretending, the King might actually believe I'm trying to frame them."
"So that's how it is. So you put yourself in a weak position and ask the king for help at the right time, on the one hand to preserve his dignity, and on the other hand to retreat in order to advance and make him give you an explanation?"
Ross pretended to think.
Lan Shuang snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "Our Los is getting smarter and smarter! You're absolutely right!"
Los smiled shyly: "I learned it from you. I want to be with you in the future, I can't still be ignorant."
Lan Shuang didn't know that this guy with a dark heart was pretending. After all, love makes people blind. Her filter for Los was too thick, and she couldn't find any clues for a while.
Instead, he kissed Los' lips with emotion, "You were carefree at first, lonely but comfortable in the sea. But after coming back with me, you were forced to learn so many conspiracies and tricks. I don't know if this is good or bad for you..."
"Of course it's good. Without you, the ocean would just be a large body of water to me. It wouldn't mean anything."
Los looked at Lan Shuang intently, his heart filled with gentle affection.
Lan Shuang's heart moved, and she pulled him and kissed him gently.
