I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

As soon as the door closed, He Tingxi stood up.

He walked to Ling Xiyue as usual and took the initiative to help Ling Xiyue sit on the chair next to the desk.

But he didn't say a word to Ling Xiyue.

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue didn't say anything and just sat there quietly.

He Tingxi stood beside Ling Xiyue and looked at Shi Hui.

"Shi Hui, did the guards find anything?" He Tingxi went straight to the point.

Shi Hui walked to the desk and looked at Ling Xiyue first. He looked embarrassed and did not speak for a long time.

Ling Xiyue frowned slightly and was very puzzled when she saw Shi Hui always looking at her.

He Tingxi became even more curious when he saw Shi Hui's hesitation.

"Why don't you speak? Is there something you can't tell me?"

"Uh--"

Shi Hui hesitated, "Well, the guard said, said..."

He Tingxi thought that Shi Hui was hesitant because of Ling Xiyue's presence, and he said, "Xiyue is one of us, just go ahead and say it."

Shi Hui looked at Ling Xiyue again before he mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Highness, the guards reported that the person who lent us a hand was the Princess."

As soon as these words fell, He Tingxi was completely stunned, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Ling Xiyue was also confused. She didn't expect that what He Tingxi wanted to investigate was the matter of saving Doctor Jian just now.

After a while, He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue, and Ling Xiyue also looked at He Tingxi.

The two looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know how to start.

After seeing this scene, Shi Hui conspicuously left the study and closed the door.

At this moment, there were only He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue in the study.

Ling Xiyue saw that He Tingxi was just looking at her without saying a word with a serious expression. She knew that He Tingxi must be angry.

She stood up, lowered her head slightly, and looked weak.

"Dian, Tingxi, actually, actually, I, I do have..."

Ling Xiyue hesitated, and before she could continue, He Tingxi hugged Ling Xiyue and kissed her lips.

Ling Xiyue’s eyes widened instantly, very surprised.

I pondered: Your Highness, didn't he want to scold me? Why did he kiss me?

Before she could figure it out, she felt He Tingxi's kiss, very strong, as if he wanted to eat her up.

At the same time, she began to feel a little breathless.

He Tingxi's "suffocating" kiss made Ling Xiyue feel uncomfortable.

Ling Xiyue really couldn't stand it anymore.

After she pushed He Tingxi away, she couldn't help but cursed: "Tingxi, what are you doing? I can't breathe."

He Tingxi, who was pushed away, still had a stern face. He did not answer Ling Xiyue's question. He walked forward and hugged Ling Xiyue tightly.

He kissed Ling Xiyue madly again, but this time the force was much lighter, and there was no "suffocating" feeling as before.

Even so, Ling Xiyue still felt very uncomfortable.

Ling Xiyue tried to push He Tingxi away again, but this time it had no effect at all.

No matter how hard she pushed He Tingxi away or slapped his chest, He Tingxi did not let go and continued to kiss Ling Xiyue madly.

Ling Xiyue felt uncomfortable at this moment. Her "beating" was no different from a "massage" to He Tingxi.

After a long time, He Tingxi stopped the passionate kiss.

When Ling Xiyue saw him stop, she thought about retreating, but He Tingxi still held Ling Xiyue tightly and did not let go.

She struggled for a while, but still couldn't leave He Tingxi's arms.

At this time, she was angry.

"Tingxi, if you don't let go, I will never talk to you again." Ling Xiyue scolded angrily.

Looking at the angry Ling Xiyue, He Tingxi finally let go of his hand.

When Ling Xiyue saw him let go, she immediately took two steps back and said, "Tingxi, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it directly. You don't have to treat me like this."

"dissatisfied?"

He Tingxi frowned and questioned.

"You also know that I will be dissatisfied? I will be angry?"

Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what He Tingxi meant. He Tingxi was going to "raise an army to hold him accountable."

Suddenly, she felt a little guilty and lowered her head slightly, without the "momentum" she had just had.

"Xiyue, when I learned that you were missing, do you know how worried I was about you? I was really afraid that you would get hurt, or even something terrible would happen to you. What if something really happened to you? What would I do? Now I can't live without you."

He Tingxi became visibly excited.

Looking at He Tingxi's nervous look, Ling Xiyue suddenly felt guilty.

"Tingxi, I understand. I will never run away on my own again." Ling Xiyue could only say nice words to coax He Tingxi.

"Later? You still want a later?" He Tingxi got angry when he heard the word "later".

Seeing that He Tingxi was still angry, Ling Xiyue hastily assured him, "There will be no future. I won't run away without permission again."

He Tingxi heard this, still with a straight face, and said seriously: "I see that you still don't realize the horror of running out alone. So, today, I must punish you, otherwise you won't remember it."

Ling Xiyue's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She cautiously probed, "Punish me? Are you going to hit me with a stick? Or? But I'm pregnant now."

"Who said that punishment must be beaten with a stick? There are many ways to punish." He Tingxi said seriously.

"Then, how do you want to punish me?" Ling Xiyue suddenly had a bad premonition and became nervous.

Noticing that Ling Xiyue was a little flustered, He Tingxi still kept a stern face.

"Xiaoyin, as your personal maid, she did not play the role of reminding you or stopping you, and even let you go out alone. This is a serious dereliction of duty and must be severely punished. Therefore, I decided to give her twenty strokes of the cane to serve as a warning to others."

When Ling Xiyue heard this, her eyes widened bigger than copper bells, and she was about to open her mouth to refute.

He Tingxi continued, "And you, as the Princess of Yan, actually ignored your noble status and went out alone. If I don't punish you, what rules will there be in Yan's Mansion? Therefore, I decided to impose house arrest on you and punish you. You are not allowed to step out of Yan's Mansion without my permission, otherwise, your salary for one year will be deducted."

Ling Xiyue was stunned. She didn't expect He Tingxi to be so "cruel" to her. She refused to accept it.

"Tingxi, I went out today to help you. I knew that the Second Prince wanted to harm Doctor Jian, so I spent money and hired a large group of people to disrupt his plan. I even spent fifty taels of silver for this. What about you? After you found out, not only did you not thank me, you also punished me and fined me. Is there anyone like you? I really took your kindness for granted."

Ling Xiyue became angrier and angrier as she spoke. After she finished speaking, she glared at He Tingxi and snorted.

When He Tingxi saw Ling Xiyue glaring at him, he remained calm.

"If it was an outsider who helped me resolve a fierce battle, I would definitely reward him handsomely, at least a few hundred taels of silver, to express my gratitude. However, that person happened to be you, so not only will you not be rewarded, you will also be punished."

"Why? Why should I be punished for helping you? It's not fair." Ling Xiyue asked unconvinced.
