Chapter 314 I Regret
The maids had already let go of Xiao Xixi and knelt down silently with their heads down, not daring to even breathe.
The same went for the other palace maids and eunuchs.
Xiao Xixi hesitated for a moment, but finally stood there without moving.
Pearl whispered, "Queen, calm down."
Queen Qin ignored Zhenzhu and stared at the prince's face.
"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you really think you have grown wings and can fly? You are so naive. Since I can support you to become the crown prince, I can also pull you down from the crown prince position!"
Luo Qinghan seemed not to feel the stinging pain on his cheek and said coldly.
"Oh, then you can take back my position as Crown Prince. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
When he walked in front of Xiao Xixi, he paused and stretched out his right hand towards her.
"Follow me."
Xiao Xixi looked at the hand stretched out in front of her, and suddenly had a very strange feeling in her heart.
She didn't even think about it before she put her hand on it.
Luo Qinghan held her hand tightly and pulled her out of the Pepper Room.
Even after walking a long distance, Xiao Xixi could still feel the angry glare from Queen Qin.
When Chen Liangyuan learned that Concubine Xiao was called to the Pepper Palace, she knew that Concubine Xiao was definitely doomed this time. She ran to the vicinity of the Pepper Palace on purpose to see how miserable Concubine Xiao looked after being sent away.
But unexpectedly, the prince arrived!
At this moment, Chen Liangyuan watched the prince taking Concubine Xiao away. There was an indescribable determination in their backs.
Chen Liangyuan never expected this to be the outcome.
She originally thought that even if the prince was dissatisfied, he would not fall out with the queen over a concubine. However, she did not expect that the prince was so bold that he would turn against the queen without giving the queen any face.
Everyone in the palace knew that Queen Qin deserved most of the credit for Luo Qinghan becoming the crown prince.
Now that the two of them have fallen out, can Luo Qinghan still keep his position as crown prince?
Chen Liangyuan was very panicked.
If Luo Qinghan cannot become the crown prince, what will she do in the future?
Being the prince's concubine and being the concubine of an ordinary prince are two completely different identities.
Chen Liangyuan gritted her teeth and ran quickly to the East Palace. She wanted to find Concubine Jing to discuss the next countermeasures.
…
Luo Qinghan brought Xiao Xixi back to the East Palace.
Baoqin and Xue had been lingering at the gate of the East Palace. When they saw the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao coming, they hurried to greet them.
"Your Highness, My Lady!"
When they got closer, they found that the prince's left cheek was red, and there were three bloody marks on it caused by fingernails.
It was obvious that the prince was beaten.
Baoqin and Xue were both shocked. They dared not look any longer and knelt down hurriedly to pay their respects.
Luo Qinghan ignored them and walked straight forward, pulling Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi turned around and waved at them, indicating that they should go back first.
Luo Qinghan took Xiao Xixi back to Linde Hall.
Eunuch Chang knew that the prince was in a bad mood at the moment, so he transferred all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace to other places.
Mo Hua placed a box containing many medicine bottles in front of the prince, and then she and Eunuch Chang retreated, leaving the space in the room to the prince and Concubine Xiao.
Luo Qinghan sat on the bed, his face as gloomy as water, and said nothing.
Xiao Xixi rummaged through the box and found an ointment that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. She picked out a little ointment with her fingers and carefully applied it to Luo Qinghan's cheek.
The red mark was not very heavy, but because his skin was too white, the red mark was particularly glaring.
After Xiao Xixi helped him apply the ointment, she picked up a small bottle, dipped a cotton ball in the ointment, and gently applied it to his bloodstains.
She asked tentatively, "Does it hurt? If it hurts, please tell me and I will be gentler."
Luo Qinghan pursed his lips: "I regret it."
This statement is totally irrelevant.
Xiao Xixi didn't understand: "What are you regretting?"
"I originally wanted to keep you by my side forever, and I thought I could protect you, but now it seems that I was too naive.
I can't protect myself, I can't protect you, I can't protect anyone.
I have failed your expectations, and I may not be the crown prince any longer, so please leave this disgusting place and go back to your master, or you can find another mission target."
Xiao Xixi looked at him in a daze.
He was still looking ahead, and ahead of him was darkness.
He didn't look at the woman next to him.
He was afraid to see disappointment in her eyes.
Xiao Xixi looked at his profile. The scars on his face were extremely eye-catching, making him look a little embarrassed.
She put down the bottle of medicine and hugged him.
"I'm not leaving."
Luo Qinghan didn't move.
He neither responded to Xiao Xixi's hug nor pushed her away.
He just sat there quietly, like an exquisite statue.
Xiao Xixi hugged him tighter.
"Since I have chosen you, I will not give up on you. Whether you are the prince or not, I will do my best to help you. It doesn't matter if you can't become the emperor in the end. At worst, I can take you back to Xuanmen. I can also tell fortunes, play the suona, and make money. I won't let you go hungry."
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and looked at her.
The woman put her face on his arm. From this angle, he could only see her fair and smooth forehead and her small and straight nose.
Her tone sounded almost childishly stubborn.
After a long while, Luo Qinghan spoke softly.
"I haven't fallen to the point where I need a woman to support my family."
Xiao Xixi raised her little face and looked at him stubbornly: "Don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful."
Luo Qinghan lowered his head, put his forehead against hers, and whispered, "Well, you are the best. Compared to you, I am really useless."
At this moment, the two were very close, so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.
Xiao Xixi could clearly see the deep emotions in his eyes.
He looked miserable.
Like a wounded lone wolf, powerless and confused.
This emotion reached Xiao Xixi's heart, making her eyes a little hot.
She couldn't help but blink, and then a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.
With a plop, it landed on the back of Luo Qinghan's hand.
Luo Qinghan's heart felt as if it was burned.
He asked somewhat at a loss: "Why are you crying?"
Xiao Xixi raised her hand to wipe her eyes, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.
She choked up and said, "I don't know, I just feel sad."
Luo Qinghan used his sleeve to wipe her tears: "I was the one who was beaten, so I should be the one who is sad. Why are you crying?"
Xiao Xixi cried and said, "I feel sorry for you."
Luo Qinghan's heart trembled slightly.
When he was at his peak, countless people wanted to share the honor with him.
But when he was frustrated, only the person in front of him was willing to feel sad for him.
Seeing how pitiful the prince is, can you bear not to give him monthly tickets?
