Tsinghua Palace.
Xiao Ling held a cup of hot tea to warm his hands.
The weather is getting warmer.
But he was still recovering from his injuries and felt a bit cold.
The palace maid who followed him from the Yu Kingdom's palace to the Wu Shui Kingdom's palace sighed inwardly and draped an extra garment over his shoulders.
Poisoning yourself is an excessive amount.
From the moment they arrived at the royal palace of Wushui Kingdom, they kept a close eye on Feng Jun.
It wasn't until Feng Jun tried to harm the Third Princess that he got hold of the evidence, found the prescription at the pharmacy, and prepared the poison and antidote accordingly.
This brought down the Phoenix Lord, but ultimately harmed his health as well.
"Why are you sighing? I'm willing to put up with whatever I want with my body," Xiao Ling said dismissively.
"A ruined body is not necessarily a relief. If you don't cherish yourself, what good is it if others love you? A broken body is just a burden to your loved ones."
Xiao Ling looked at her with even more respect.
You seem to know a lot!
“This servant has served the Regent since before the Emperor, and has often heard the Regent say these things.”
"Ha!" Xiao Ling sneered. "I heard that the Regent is fond of the Red Dust Monk."
"yes!"
"You're quite frank now, aren't you afraid I'll punish you for speaking ill of His Majesty?"
“I didn’t dare to say it before, but the Regent said that liking someone is a perfectly legitimate thing and there’s no need to hide it, so I dared to say it, and the Regent has never punished me for it.”
"Hmm, that's the kind of person she is."
The palace maid waited for a while, but when he didn't say anything more, she lowered her head and prepared to leave.
But then another palace maid rushed in to report.
"Your Majesty, Prince Consort Jiang wishes to pay his respects."
"Prince Consort Jiang?"
"Yes, the consort of Emperor Jingwu, the third princess of Yu Kingdom, Jiang Xinwei."
Oh!
Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh.
It's finally here.
His heart was suddenly pierced with pain, but it only lasted for a moment before he quickly calmed down.
"please!"
"yes!"
As the sunlight shone down, he only felt his hands and feet grow even colder.
A moment later.
Jiang Xinwei was led in.
I saw the following in the Qinghua Palace: corn, mung beans, cabbage, green beans, etc.
She didn't recognize these things before; it was only after Xiao Ling showed them to her one by one that she learned about these crops.
Now, these things are seen again in the palace.
She felt a sweet taste in her chest, as if blood was about to spurt out, but she forcibly suppressed it.
Until I saw people sitting in chairs in the courtyard, sunbathing.
She couldn't stop the blood from welling up in her mouth, but she swallowed it down little by little.
"Xiao...Xinwei pays her respects to the Phoenix Lord."
Xiao Ling took a sip of tea and remained silent.
The palace maid beside him observed his every move.
"When you meet the Phoenix Lord, why don't you refer to yourself as your subject or son? Does the Prince Consort only consider the Seventh Prince's father as the Phoenix Lord?"
Jiang Xinwei was stunned, her face turning bright red.
You want her to call Xiao Ling "Father" and refer to herself as "your subject"?
She can't do it!
For a moment, she really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
She came to the wrong place; she has only brought shame upon herself.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty the Phoenix!"
In the end, she still bowed down.
Xiao Ling's heart turned completely cold.
In the Kingdom of Wushui, Jiang Xinwei was no longer the beautiful and graceful young woman she had been when they first met.
He was too persistent.
"What business do you have with me?"
His voice was indifferent, full of aloofness!
Jiang Xinwei was speechless. What was she doing here? She came to confirm if he was Xiao Ling and to see if he still had any feelings for her. She had come out of curiosity, but now she was at a loss.
"Your subject... pays respects to the Phoenix Lord, nothing else!"
