Chapter 586 World 6: The Weak and Helpless Crown Princess (26)
Unfortunately, to Sheng Jin's disappointment, Liu Lingxi never dared to look at him again during the entire breakfast.
On the contrary, she stared at the imperial meal in front of her with a little shyness the whole time, and was extremely obedient and polite when eating.
Even when he slightly tilted his head and raised his eyes, he was talking to the prince, as if he was deliberately ignoring me.
In order to verify this idea, Sheng Jin looked at Liu Lingxi with even more burning gaze.
Then he could see her long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and she seemed to be getting more and more nervous, like a butterfly flapping its wings about to fly... It made people want to kiss her hard.
Sheng Jin didn't know that for someone like him who had actually killed someone and seen blood, the look in his eyes was filled with the aggression of a wild beast.
How could Liu Lingxi enjoy her meal in peace when being stared at like that?
She was extremely panicked, as if she was trapped in a huge net, and her body became stiff.
"What's wrong? The food is not to your liking. I'm still uncomfortable. Why do you use so little? Use more."
During the meal, the Crown Prince noticed that something was wrong with his Crown Princess and he tried to persuade her quietly several times.
But it was useless. Liu Lingxi had no way to tell the prince about her difficulties. Should she say, "I think the way your father looks at me is not right?"
She didn't know how the emperor did it, but his eyes always accurately avoided the prince and fell on her.
And the stupid prince beside her couldn't discover anything!
Sheng Jin, who witnessed the woman's struggle throughout the whole process, licked his teeth excitedly and felt the blood in his body boiling.
What will she do? Will she hide from me or talk to me openly?
Thinking of the latter, Sheng Jin couldn't help but start to feel excited.
He even couldn't help but imagine the scene of the delicate and helpless Crown Princess, trapped in his arms, unable to struggle.
Thinking of this, Sheng Jin looked at the Crown Princess with even more fiery eyes.
After a lot of effort, this tedious breakfast was finally over, and Bai Qing came in to report.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Fengyi Palace that the Empress has fainted. Your Majesty, please go and take a look."
"call--"
Liu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and her little hands, which were tightly clenched on the handkerchief, loosened a little.
Just like a small animal, after realizing that the enemy has left, he is filled with joy and relief at having survived.
Sheng Jin smiled helplessly, secretly sighing that she was adorable.
But he turned his head to look at Bai Qing, wondering why the queen fainted.
The Queen has always been in good health. Because she has never been favored and has never given birth, she looks much younger than her peers.
only……
How could such a healthy queen suddenly faint? Was she stimulated by something?
Sheng Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and at some point, he gently picked up the beads in his hand, and the Buddhist beads kept turning in his hand.
After thinking about it, he could only think of what happened just this morning.
Could it be that the Queen found out about what happened this morning with the Jiang family?
The Queen is really quick to report things. The Jiang family is really too heartless.
Sheng Jin's eyes darkened and his aura dropped, then he asked Bai Qing.
"What happened to the Queen? You good-for-nothings, you didn't report the Queen fainting in time. What's the point of keeping you around?"
Sheng Jin's demeanor changed, and his eyes became sharper.
He stared at Bai Qing much more fiercely than he had just stared at Liu Lingxi.
Bai Qing groaned in his heart, this was something he could not have predicted in advance.
But the Emperor is so worried about the Empress. Does that mean that in the Emperor's heart, the Empress has a higher status and is more important?
Come to think of it, the Empress has been with the Emperor for so many years, from the time he fought for the throne to the time he ascended the throne, through all the ups and downs over the years...
How could a woman like the Crown Princess, who had no background and only beauty, compare to her?
Perhaps the Emperor is only seeking temporary novelty from the Crown Princess.
With this in mind, Bai Qing's decision to stand on the Queen's side became clearer, and his eyes became more determined.
So he bent lower and became more respectful.
"In reply to Your Majesty, how could I dare to delay the notification? It was because Fengyi Palace was in chaos just now, and it was only after the imperial physician arrived that someone remembered to ask Your Majesty to take a look."
"Well, did the Queen see anyone this morning?"
Sheng Jin began to interrogate him, and also indirectly criticized Bai Qing, the servant.
Unfortunately, Chief Steward Bai now "assesses the situation" and believes that the Emperor values the Empress at this time, so he is even more loyal to the Empress.
Hearing the emperor's words that clearly showed his concern for the queen, Bai Qing quickly spilled the beans about what he knew.
"In reply to the emperor, the queen heard the news that the Jiang family was punished during breakfast, which is why she acted like this."
Bai Qing said this tentatively.
He was very humble, but his words implied that he was pleading for the queen.
"Oh, you did inquire carefully."
Sheng Jin's eyes were already very unfriendly at this time, but unfortunately Bai Qing had his head down and couldn't see anything.
He also didn't know that his road to success had ended here.
On the other side, the prince, who heard Bai Qing's answer, instantly understood what was going on.
Tsk, the Queen Mother actually knew about Jiang Cheng's demotion so quickly, isn't that too fast?
The prince was afraid that his father would get angry and scare his princess consort, so he took the initiative to make the proposal.
"Father, the Queen Mother is not feeling well. It is time for me and the Crown Princess to show our filial piety. Why don't I go with you?"
Sheng Jin thought about it and agreed.
Although his treatment of the Jiang family during the morning court session was a decision made in a fit of rage, he had been planning to punish them for a long time.
The reason why Jiang Cheng was not dismissed was indeed out of consideration for the Queen's face.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
When Sheng Jin passed by Liu Lingxi, his pace slowed down obviously. The tall figure stopped in front of her, giving her a great sense of oppression.
Liu Lingxi's breathing suddenly slowed down and she stepped back subconsciously.
Fortunately, the prince supported her from behind and prevented her from falling.
"Be careful."
"Heh~"
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was the prince's nervous and concerned voice, and the other was -
The emperor's faint chuckle from above her head seemed to be mocking her cowardice.
In fact, Sheng Jin also wanted to help her, but when he saw that the prince had supported the girl before him, he had no choice but to give up.
The hand that had just been stretched out stopped in mid-air, and after a long while it was retracted as if nothing had happened.
However, the smile in his eyes did not change, just a little darker than before.
Seeing that she had stood firm, Sheng Jin strode forward, each step faster than the previous one.
That’s right, he was afraid that if he didn’t leave, he would lose control and scold the prince, and then snatch him away!
He was about to...lose control of himself.
