My mind buzzed. Who is this woman? With this posture and this aura, I would have thought it was the Queen! I looked her up and down. She was dressed in silk and satin, glittering with jewels. She was indeed very noble.

Li Rui's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said in a cold tone: "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

The Emperor's sister-in-law?! I gasped. This person is actually the Crown Princess? It's over. This time, I can't wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River!

The Crown Princess didn't even look at Li Rui, she just stared at me with her eyes, as if she wanted to kill me alive. I secretly groaned in my heart, are all these women so scared?

"Your Highness, you really have a good taste!" The Crown Princess sneered, her tone full of sarcasm, "You secretly met with a beautiful woman in the bedroom without telling me. What, do you think I can't control you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Before I could open my mouth, Li Rui interrupted her angrily, "Qingya is coming to the palace..."

"What are you here for? Are you meeting your lover in private?" The Crown Princess didn't even give him a chance to explain. She walked up to me closely, and the look in her eyes made me feel creepy.

"My Lady Crown Princess, you misunderstood!" I quickly waved my hands to explain, "I have nothing to do with the prince, I am..."

"Shut up!" the Crown Princess shouted, "Do you have the right to speak here?!"

I was frightened by her sudden anger and shut my mouth obediently.

Seeing that I didn't dare to speak, the Crown Princess turned her head and looked at Li Rui coldly, saying word by word: "My Lord, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise..."

She didn't say anything else, but the threatening tone was self-evident.

Li Rui's face turned pale, and he was about to explain, but I pulled his sleeve. I shook my head at him, signaling him to stop talking.

The Crown Princess is right, it's hard to explain a man and a woman alone in the same room, not to mention that Li Rui is a prince, and I'm just a little official lady. If this gets out, my reputation will be completely ruined!

Instead of arguing here, it's better to take a look at the situation first.

I took a deep breath, trying to keep myself calm, then raised my head, looked at the Crown Princess, smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, don't be angry. This is actually a long story..."

I deliberately lengthened my tone to see her reaction.

The Crown Princess was indeed aroused by my curiosity. She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Oh? Then tell me, what is going on?"

I smiled and was about to start making up a story when I suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the bedroom, followed by a sharp voice outside the door: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

My heart sank suddenly and I said to myself, "Not good."

What is the prince doing here? Could it be that he also knows about this?

The door of the bedroom was pushed open from the outside, and a young man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown on his head walked in. He was tall and handsome, but his narrow and long phoenix eyes revealed a cold aura that made people shudder.

He is the crown prince, Li Chengqian.

As soon as Li Chengqian entered the room, his eyes fell on me. He looked me up and down, with a playful smile on his face.

"Is this the daughter of Lord Lin? Seeing is believing!"

I was frightened by his gaze, but I had to bite the bullet and bow, "Your Highness, Lin Qingya, is honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian didn't say anything, but gave me a meaningful look, then walked straight to Li Rui and said with a smile: "Royal brother, the emperor has summoned you to the palace immediately. It seems that there is something important to discuss."

Li Rui's expression changed slightly. He looked at the prince and then at me, as if hesitating whether to say something.

Seeing this, I quickly winked at him, signaling him to hurry into the palace.

Li Rui nodded in understanding, and then said to the prince: "My royal brother, please wait a moment. I will change my clothes and come back."

The prince nodded, then walked to the side and sat down on a chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and sipped it slowly.

Li Rui walked up to me and whispered, "Qingya, wait for me here. I'll be right back."

I nodded and watched him leave the bedroom.

As soon as Li Rui left, the atmosphere in the dormitory instantly became depressing.

I stood there, not daring to move, for fear of upsetting the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess looked at me coldly, her eyes full of hostility, while the Crown Prince had an expression of enjoying the show, and from time to time he would glance at me out of the corner of his eye, and that look made me feel creepy.

I feel like a little white rabbit that has strayed into a wolf's den and could be eaten at any moment.

When I was feeling very anxious, the prince suddenly spoke.

"Ms. Lin, tell me, what should I do with you?" His tone was gentle, yet chilling.

My heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling came over me.
