The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

At this moment, Lu Lingxi's brain was working like a high-speed precision machine, thinking about how to go crazy in a reasonable way so as to shock Queen Gu and escape unscathed.

Queen Gu did not give Lu Lingxi more time to think. Seeing that Lu Lingxi had not yet made any move to kneel, she gave Nanny Li a look. Nanny Li immediately understood and was about to step forward and force her to kneel down.

Although this was not the place for Chunhong and Liulu to speak, when they saw Queen Gu trying to force herself on Lu Lingxi, they immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Lu Lingxi knew very well that if he really wanted to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, it would be impossible to do it with just a few words without paying anything.

So, she stood up resignedly and said to Queen Gu with a smile, "Since your majesty insists that I kneel down and listen to your instructions, I will obey your orders. Nanny Li is an elder who is highly respected by your majesty. How dare I trouble her to do it? If I tire her again, it will be my fault."

After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, she knelt straight in front of Queen Gu, and Chunhong and Liulu knelt on her left and right respectively behind her.

Nanny Li tactfully retreated behind Queen Gu.

Queen Gu sneered complacently, feeling proud in her heart: No matter how powerful your words are, or how unconvinced you are, you still have to kneel down at my feet.

Lu Lingxi knelt down in submission, but Queen Gu was in no hurry to speak. She sipped her tea leisurely.

Queen Gu was sitting on the exquisitely carved sandalwood chair. She turned slightly, stretched out her delicate hand, and gently picked up the exquisite teacup on the table. The tea in the cup was steaming hot, exuding bursts of fragrance. She first brought the teacup close to her nose, sniffed the tempting tea fragrance, and then took a sip slowly. Her red lips slightly parted, and her posture when sipping the tea was as elegant as a peacock spreading its tail. After swallowing a mouthful, she gently supported the bottom of the cup with her other hand, slowly raised the cup, sniffed it again, and then put it down.

Then he sighed contentedly: "Well, although it is not new tea, the taste of this tea is pure and fragrant, even fresher and more fragrant than new tea."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her solemnly and not tasting the tea, Queen Gu pretended to be surprised and said, "Why don't you drink it? Such good tea can't be wasted. Everyone taste it carefully."

Except for Concubine Guo who was inconvenient to hold Princess Leping, the others did not dare to be negligent and immediately began to taste tea. Seeing that no one in the palace dared to disobey her, Queen Gu nodded with satisfaction and picked up the teacup to continue to taste tea elegantly.

Lu Lingxi shouted, "Mother, be careful!" With extremely quick movements, he reached out and grabbed Queen Gu's ankle, pulling her off the sandalwood chair and throwing her to the ground. The tea spilled on Queen Gu's chest, and the teacup rolled to the ground and broke into pieces.

Lu Lingxi knelt forward and took two steps, pressing his knees hard on the broken porcelain pieces, but he endured it without twitching because of the pain. He held a silk handkerchief in his hand and wiped away the remaining tea dregs for Queen Gu, and asked gently and concernedly: "Is there something wrong with your mother? How come you can't even hold a cup of tea?"

Queen Gu had just been helped to sit down by Nanny Li. After listening to Lu Lingxi's sarcastic and caring words, Queen Gu slapped Lu Lingxi hard on the face and cursed, "Bitch, it was you who suddenly pulled my ankle and pulled me down. Why are you pretending to be innocent now?"

Lu Lingxi was hit by the slap and hit the corner of the table. Blood immediately flowed from her forehead, but she didn't care about that. She kowtowed and apologized: "I dare not, I dare not. It was obviously you who fell down. How can you blame me? Even if I had ten bear gallbladders, I would not dare to do such a thing."

"Bitch, you still dare to quibble?" Queen Gu raised her hand and wanted to slap Lu Lingxi again, but Chunhong quickly pulled her behind her and took the slap from Queen Gu herself.

When Queen Gu saw that she failed to hit Lu Lingxi, she became even more furious, and slapped Chunhong again with her backhand: "A servant taught by a bitch is also a bitch, and you dare to hide from my slap?" Chunhong also took it impartially without saying a word.

The slap that Queen Gu had just given Lu Lingxi was quite hard. Liu Lu hurriedly checked Lu Lingxi's face. There were clear five finger marks on the left side of his face, and blood was flowing from the right forehead.

Liu Lu exclaimed: "Crown Princess, you are bleeding. Someone come quickly and call the imperial physician." After saying that, she wanted to rush out to ask the imperial physician for Lu Lingxi, but was stopped at the door by Queen Gu's men.

Queen Gu was also panicked when she saw Lu Lingxi bleeding, but she didn't want to show her fear. She pretended to be calm and scolded Liu Lu: "How shameless! Why are you shouting and screaming in front of me? This little bit of blood won't kill her. Madam Li, go get some hemostatic medicine to apply to her."

While all of Queen Gu's attention was on Lu Lingxi, Concubine Guo winked at the second-class maid who was guarding outside the door of her palace. The maid understood and turned around and ran away quickly.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Liu Lu returned to Queen Gu and knelt down, and together with Chunhong, they protected Lu Lingxi firmly behind them.

Nanny Li quickly took out the hemostatic medicine and planned to apply it to Lu Lingxi. Liu Lu snatched it away and said angrily, "I don't dare to trouble you, Nanny." Then she gently applied the medicine to Lu Lingxi.

Only then did Lu Lingxi cry out in a low and suppressed voice: "Hiss... it hurts!"

Liu Lu: "I'm sorry, please be gentler."

Queen Gu said disdainfully, "Why are you being so hypocritical? It's just a little scrape. You brought all this upon yourself. First you disobeyed my instructions, and then you dragged my ankle. Do you admit it? I've been in charge of the Central Palace for twenty years, and I've never seen someone as uneducated as you. A slap in the face is too light a punishment. Even if the Emperor and the Crown Prince ask about it, they'll say that I was right in teaching you a lesson!"

Lu Lingxi kowtowed again and apologized: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, whatever the queen mother says is true, I will never dare to do it again."

The medicine that had just been applied was rubbed off again, and blood flowed again.

Queen Gu looked at Lu Lingxi and felt that he looked so creepy. She said with a chill in her voice, "Alright, get up and answer the question."

Lu Lingxi: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare!" He still knelt and didn't get up.

Queen Gu was accustomed to these tactics. She came to her senses and realized that Lu Lingxi was pretending to be miserable. She sneered in her heart: If you want to play the victim, you have to see if I will give you this opportunity.

"Madame Li, the Crown Princess' legs are weak and she can't get up. Please help her up."

Upon receiving the order, Nanny Li stepped forward and grabbed Lu Lingxi's arm, trying to lift her up, but how could she compare to Lu Lingxi, who was exercising intentionally, in terms of strength.

Lu Lingxi was hanging down and refused to get up. Nanny Li tried to pull him up but failed. Queen Gu was getting anxious and urged Nanny Li to move faster. Did she have to do it herself?

Nanny Li tried her best but still failed to pull Lu Lingxi up. While she was pulling, Nan Wangyu's hurried voice came from the palace entrance: "What are you doing?"

Hearing Nan Wangyu's voice, Lu Lingxi made an aggrieved expression, turned around and called out sadly, "Husband!"

Nan Wangyu felt mixed emotions when he heard Lingxi call him that for the first time, but he also felt distressed to see her face full of scars and her aggrieved and pitiful appearance, and he was annoyed that she didn't know how to take care of her body. The strongest feeling was the self-blame he felt for not being able to help her solve this predicament earlier.

He took two steps at a time and came to Lu Lingxi, squatted down to help her, "Why are you still kneeling? Why do you have to kneel down to answer? You are my Crown Princess, representing the face of me and the entire Southern Expedition Kingdom. Even if my father comes to question you, there is no reason for you to kneel down and answer in public." After saying this, he glared at Queen Gu.

Queen Gu thought it was bad, these two little bitches were going to play tricks again. But she was not afraid, and explained stubbornly: "Everyone here heard that she herself admitted that she was disrespectful to her elders, jealous of the concubine, and instigated the crown prince to do his job. You also saw that she voluntarily knelt down to listen to my teachings."

Now that Lu Lingxi had a backer, she naturally didn't acknowledge these things, but she didn't rush to refute Queen Gu. Instead, she took advantage of Nan Wangyu's strength to support her and fell into his arms, squeezing out two lines of tears and crying, "My husband, my knees hurt so much that I can't stand up."

Nan Wangyu said with concern: "Your knees hurt?" Thinking that Lu Lingxi's knees were swollen from kneeling for too long, he reached out to rub them for her.

Queen Gu scolded: "Why are you being so pretentious? You've only been kneeling for less than a quarter of an hour, and you're already crying out in pain. How dare you..."

Before Queen Gu finished her words, Nan Wangyu felt something sticky on his hand. He raised his hand and saw a bright red. Liu Lu exclaimed, "Blood! How could there be so much blood?"
