Seeing the pain on Xiao Chengxu's face, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help sneering in her heart, thinking that the scene before her was extremely ridiculous.

At this moment, he pretended to be deeply in love and in great pain, but when she was alive in her previous life, she had never seen him show any sincerity. He has always been so good at disguising himself and pretending.

Xie Yaoqing pushed Xiao Chengxu away with all her strength, her eyes filled with deep disgust and contempt, and her voice was as cold as ice as frost: "Your Majesty, is it interesting to do this? Using such a despicable method as pretending to have amnesia to deceive me, does Your Majesty really think that you only need to wave your hand casually and give me some favors, and I must accept them gratefully, and then wag my tail like a dog, flatter you, and thank you profusely? Could it be that in the eyes of Your Majesty, I am such a lowly and lowly person, or an extremely stupid fool?"

As for Xiao Chengxu's pretending to have amnesia, Xie Yaoqing's only comment was "disgusting".

Xiao Chengxu clearly knew everything, but he shamelessly used amnesia as an excuse, trying to relive the old days and disguise himself as a pitiful amnesiac.

Fortunately, she was not so useless as to put away unnecessary pity and sympathy, otherwise she would have become a joke.

Xiao Chengxu's face turned pale. The shameful thoughts in his heart were exposed, and he was so sad that he couldn't even speak for a while.

He saw sarcasm, indifference, ridicule, and disdain on Xie Yaoqing's face...

It's all because of his meanness.

He is indeed despicable and has never been glorious. The methods he uses are never worthy of being mentioned in public. They are either robbery or cheating.

Xie Yaoqing made a "tsk" sound, and felt extremely bored facing a saw-mouthed gourd. He shook his head, turned around and was about to leave, but was blocked by Xiao Chengxu.

Xiao Chengxu stared straight at Xie Yaoqing, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, including guilt, unwillingness... and a hint of indescribable attachment.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Xie Yaoqing looked at him coldly, feeling disgusted.

"What for?" Xie Yaoqing had a look of impatience on his face, his brows tightly furrowed as if he could pinch a mosquito to death.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengxu subconsciously reached out his hand to smooth her frown, but Xie Yaoqing took a step back to avoid his hand, and looked at him warily, her eyes full of suspicion and distrust.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Xiao Chengxu opened his mouth, his voice trembling slightly, revealing a hint of guilt and uneasiness.

He knew he was in the wrong, but he was really too scared.

However, the lie was exposed in the end, and no matter how he explained or covered it up, he could not change the fact. This only made Xie Yaoqing feel deceived and fooled, which led to more anger and dissatisfaction.

Hearing Xiao Chengxu's words, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but sneer, "Are you trying to hide it? You're kidding!"

Collaborating with the imperial physician to act out an amnesia scene, doesn't this count as an intentional concealment?

If this is not considered intentional, then what is? Do I have to wait until I am completely in the dark and he is playing with me in his hands before I can be considered to have concealed it intentionally?

Thinking of this, Xie Yaoqing became even angrier. She glared at Xiao Chengxu fiercely and said coldly, "If the emperor says it's not true, then it's not true. I am insignificant anyway. Is there anything else? If not, don't block my way."

Xie Yaoqing originally thought that she would die with full of resentment. If she really went to the underworld and saw Xiao Chengxu, she would definitely rush up to him without hesitation and beat him half to death.

However, when Xiao Chengxu, who had the memories of his previous life, appeared in front of her, Xie Yaoqing suddenly realized that she would feel annoyed even if she looked at him once. She just wanted to stay as far away from this person as possible, and it would be best if she never saw him again in her life.

The corner of Xiao Chengxu's mouth twitched slightly. He knew very well that Xie Yaoqing didn't believe him at all. In fact, this terrible explanation with so many flaws could not convince even him. It was completely specious and no one with a bit of brains would believe it.

"Gu Qingjian..."

Xie Yaoqing glared at Xiao Chengxu fiercely and angrily retorted: "Gu Qingjian, Gu Qingjian, you just keep talking about Gu Qingjian all day long, Xiao Chengxu, are all the people in the world the same as you? You are entangled with a large group of women all day long, and you have taken concubines one after another. That's because you are promiscuous and you are dissolute, but what right do you have to use your dirty and filthy thoughts to speculate about other people? Do you think I am not self-disciplined, unfaithful to women, and have an affair? Do you think I don't know propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame? Yes, you are born in the royal family, you are of noble status, and you are a noble, but the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion is not an uneducated family."

"Oh, now I don't even have the freedom to talk to people I know, right? Do I have to talk to people under your eyes and with your approval? In your heart, am I a person, or just a cat or a dog? Or am I just an object at your mercy, and can only obey your orders?"

Xie Yaoqing's angry rebuke came at Xiao Chengxu like a violent storm, leaving him powerless to fight back. He could only stand there in a daze, with a look of bewilderment, desolation and sadness on his face.

Xiao Chengxu felt extremely bitter because he clearly saw Xie Yaoqing's intention to protect Gu Qingjian.

Once upon a time, he was the one being protected. In the past, Qingqing's brothers were not friendly to him, but Qingqing kept speaking well of him, which made them less resentful of him. It was also Qingqing who would angrily rebuke those who made innuendos and insulted him in a roundabout way at the palace banquet...

Until now, no one has been willing to stand up and stand firmly by his side to face the outside world with him.

Only Qingqing is an exception.

However, now he has lost the qualification to be protected.

Not to mention Gu Qingjian, even anyone else might be able to get Qingqing's protection, except him.

After Xie Yaoqing finished scolding, her depression was slightly relieved, but she still felt very unhappy. Others might not know anything about this, but she knew it very well in her heart that Xiao Chengxu was a person who loved to hold grudges and was extremely narrow-minded. He might vent his resentment on Gu Qingjian.

As the king of a country, if he wants to take revenge on a mere minister, there are countless ways to do it.

"Please don't cause trouble for Gu Qingjian. I swear to heaven that I have never done anything out of line with anyone. If Your Majesty must be suspicious, then you can doubt me, but don't be suspicious of those who have nothing to do with me."
