My heart skipped a beat? Are you kidding! I, Lin Qingya, have seen all kinds of situations. A mere old handsome guy wants me to mess up? Besides, I came here with a golden finger. Who dares to show off his skills in front of me?

I calmed down, raised a playful smile, and said in a voice that only Li Rui and I could hear: "Your Highness, the Third Prince, are you joking? I am just an ordinary citizen. How dare I trouble Your Highness to worry about me? It is you, Your Highness, who is busy with state affairs all day long. You should pay more attention to your health."

As I spoke, I quietly unleashed my mind-reading skills. Hehe, I want to see what this gentle and gentle Third Prince is thinking about.

"Oh? Miss Lin still cares about this prince?" Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his deep eyes.

"Of course, Your Highness is of noble status, so I should pay more attention to you." I smiled sincerely, but in my heart I was madly complaining: 꾿, why are you pretending? You are obviously thinking...

Wait, this is...

The smile on my face froze instantly, and an unknown surge of emotion rose from the bottom of my heart.

This Li Rui, he was actually thinking... thinking...

I took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the urge to slap him to death, and said with a fake smile: "Your Highness the Third Prince, look, the Emperor is here, should we..."

“Brother Huang, why are you here?” Li Rui stood up and saluted as if he had discovered Li Heng.

I rolled my eyes. With this kind of acting skills, it would be a shame if he didn't win an Oscar!

Li Heng ignored Li Rui and walked straight up to me, staring at me with scorching eyes, which made me feel creepy.

"You are so brave, Lin Qingya, do you know your crime?!"

I:"???"

What happened? What crime did I commit?

I looked at Li Heng in bewilderment. Before I could even open my mouth, I heard him continue, "I'm asking you, did you do anything to Rui'er?!"

I:"???"

What do you want me to do to Li Rui? What do I do to him?!

I opened my mouth and was about to explain when I felt a strong gaze falling on me.

I turned around and saw Zhao Sisi glaring at me with hatred, her eyes seemed to want to cut me into pieces.

I understood instantly that it must be that little bitch Zhao Sisi who said bad things about me in front of Li Heng!

I cursed him in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face. Instead, I showed a pitiful expression, my eyes were slightly red, and I said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have always kept my distance from His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and never had any improper thoughts about him..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Sisi suddenly jumped out, pointed at my nose and cursed, "You vixen, relying on your own looks, you dare to seduce His Royal Highness the Third Prince, you..."

“Bang!”

Before Zhao Sisi could finish her words, Li Heng slapped her to the ground.

"How dare you!" Li Heng shouted angrily, "I haven't even spoken yet, and you have the right to interrupt?!"

Zhao Sisi covered her face and looked at Li Heng in disbelief, obviously frightened.

Li Heng ignored her and turned to look at me. He asked in a softer tone, "Qingya, tell me, what happened?"

I blinked my eyes, showing an innocent expression, and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know..."

"you……"

Li Heng wanted to ask more, but I suddenly turned pale, my body swayed, and I was about to faint.

“Qingya!”

"Bold!"

Li Heng and Li Rui exclaimed at the same time, and they both reached out their hands to me almost at the same time...
