Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

"What on earth do you want to say?"

Jiang Yudie was not fooled by the man's appearance. She grabbed the bolt and looked ready to escape at any time.

"Miss Jiang killed her own younger sister. If you have forgotten such a big thing, I will help you recall it."

Xie Changling put down the teacup and produced a small jade pendant from somewhere. It was obviously worn by a young child. It was exquisite in style and cute.

"!"

Jiang Yudie's pupils shrank violently, and there was a violent earthquake. Didn't the jade fall into the pond with her younger sister?

How could it appear in Xie Changling's hands!

She was completely panicked. This was her biggest secret, and no one could possibly know it. No way, it was impossible. Xie Changling must be lying to her!

"My husband, I don't understand what you are saying."

Jiang Yudie calmed herself down, pretended to be calm, and forced a smile to hide the unnaturalness in her eyes.

Xie Changling was not in a hurry and drank his tea leisurely. However, his mouth was not idle as he gently uttered a person's name.

"Since Miss Jiang doesn't understand, then I'll mention another person to you, Wang Wu."

"!"

Jiang Yudie was really scared this time. She knew that Wang Wu was not dead. He must have been spying on her life and threatened her because he knew she had married into the Prime Minister's Mansion!

"It wasn't me who ordered it. It wasn't me. It was this servant who took it upon himself to harm my younger sister. Now he's framing me. My husband, you have to believe me."

Jiang Yudie was flustered for a moment, and in order to defend herself, she spoke a long string of words, which were basically incoherent and illogical.

By the time she realized this, it was already too late. Her defense of covering up the truth seemed to confirm her guilt.

Sure enough, when Jiang Yudie looked up at Xie Changling, she saw his half-smiling face, especially his narrow eyes, which seemed to see through everything, making her feel uneasy.

"Ms. Jiang, don't worry about how I know this, but I still have this person in my hands. Please take good care of him in the coming days."

Xie Changling hooked the strap of the jade pendant with his bony fingers and waved it in front of Jiang Yudie's eyes, with a determined smile on his lips that made people feel cold.

Jiang Yudie felt even colder all over. She finally saw the coldness in the man's eyes. She instantly understood that the man had no feelings for her at all.

Not only that, he was also on guard against himself. These things were impossible to investigate. I wonder how this person met Wang Wu?

She had clearly had his body thrown into a mass grave a long time ago, so how did he survive?

All these mysteries made her realize clearly that she must not act rashly, at least not before she figured out the evidence in Xie Changling's hands.

After realizing this, Jiang Yudie calmed down and her face returned to its previous calmness.

The black birthmark from the end of her eye to her entire right cheek made her entire face look extremely gloomy, especially when there was no expression on her face, it was even more creepy.

"I will obey you, my husband."

"Don't call me husband in private. Help me act like a harmonious couple in front of outsiders. If you do that, I will hand Wang Wu over to you and let you deal with it yourself."

Xie Changling knew how to control his subordinates. He would give a beating and then a sweet treat. As for whether he would fulfill his promise, that would depend on his mood in the future.

Even if Jiang Yudie heard the trap in his words, she could do nothing about it. After all, he was the one who held the final say, so she could only nod and cooperate.

"Yes, I know."

Jiang Yudie appeared respectful on the surface, but in fact she felt like she was biting her teeth off in her heart. She could only swallow her anger and had to accept it.

Since then, the two have been getting along more and more harmoniously, keeping to themselves and treating each other with respect.

……

A month passed in a flash.

royal palace.

Royal study room.

Wisps of ambergris emit white smoke from the purple furnace, and as the breeze blows, the white smoke will soon be blown away, and the fragrance will spread to every corner of the hall, making people feel relaxed and happy.

After listening to the reports from his subordinates, Xiao Jin's doubts were completely dispelled. It seemed that the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion was indeed quiet.

That's right. Xiao Jin had been sending people to secretly monitor Xie Changling. It was not until today that he completely dispelled his doubts. He then ordered: "No need to keep an eye on him anymore. Come back."

Hearing Xiao Jin's order, the black shadow kneeling on the ground said "yes" and disappeared.

As soon as the black shadow left, Eunuch Li came forward to report. His footsteps were brisk, his voice was more relaxed than ever before, and his happiness was visibly evident.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling has arrived."

Xiao Jin stopped writing and quickly stood up from his seat when he heard the words. It was rare that Song Lingxi was willing to come to the imperial study to see him. This was a good thing that had never happened before.

"Please, please come in."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Li heard the excitement in Xiao Jin's voice and hurried out. He didn't dare to waste time and make the imperial concubine wait too long.

After a while, a woman in apricot-pink palace dress came forward with graceful steps, her steps were like lotus flowers and her figure was slim.

She walked to the imperial desk and bowed to Xiao Jinying. The hairpins on her head made her look even more precious, and she seemed to have a more noble air than before.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Hurry up, come, sit down, and tell me why you are so diligent today. Did you come up with some new ideas to ask me?"

Xiao Jin quickly helped the girl up and didn't let her really bow down. This little girl was not seen to be so polite in the past, and after hearing this, it seemed awkward.

"You are suddenly so polite and respectful. I guess you must have something to ask for."

Song Lingxi pursed her lips and looked up at Xiao Jin, tears in her eyes, as if she was about to cry. She looked so pitiful that it really scared Xiao Jin.

"Why are you crying? Who made you unhappy? I'll kill him!"

Xiao Jin hurried to comfort her. Although he had seen Song Lingxi crying before, it was rare for her to cry so sadly in broad daylight like today.

His brows were furrowed, and he looked a little anxious and helpless. He really didn't know how to comfort her.

"Your Majesty, I dreamed that my aunt and cousin both passed away. I was really scared. I beg Your Majesty to let Xier see my aunt and cousin!"

Song Lingxi finally couldn't help but burst into tears. She had nightmares for almost the entire night. In the dreams, scenes from her past life and present life were intertwined, making her fall into a nightmare.

The difference was that her aunt and cousin were vomiting blood, which she had never seen in her previous life. Moreover, this scene appeared more than once.

Because of this, Song Lingxi almost woke up crying. As soon as she woke up, she felt terribly panicked, so she put on her clothes and hurried over.

"Your Majesty, I am not being unreasonable. I am afraid this is a harbinger of something."

Seeing Song Lingxi crying out of breath, her big almond eyes filled with fear and her little body twitching, Xiao Jin's heart ached.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Anger is bad for your health. I'll go and summon them to meet you."

Xiao Jin quickly tried to comfort her softly. He said that since he had seen Li's mother and son, he had arranged for the imperial physician to be with him. There should be nothing wrong. Otherwise, why didn't he come to report?

He told Song Lingxi all this to reassure her: "Don't be afraid. Didn't I arrange for an imperial physician to accompany you? There's no bad news yet, so don't panic."

Song Lingxi shook her head vigorously. She believed the dream even more. In the dream, her aunt was fine at first, but suddenly fell down and died.

"No, Your Majesty, I am very nervous. Please believe me."

Xiao Jin saw that he couldn't comfort her at all. If she continued crying, she might hurt her eyes. He could only ask someone to prepare a carriage: "Come on, prepare the carriage and go to East City."

East City is right at the foot of the Imperial City. Xiao Jin had specially arranged for Li's mother and son to live there so that Xier wouldn't worry about them and think about them all day long.

Moreover, if it happens to be the New Year holidays, it would be better to ask someone to come to the audience directly, which would be much more convenient than letting them live in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful to you."

When Song Lingxi saw that Xiao Jin did not stop her and even helped her arrange the carriage, she knew that the emperor felt sorry for her and cried so hard, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

All her words turned into just one word of thanks, and her red eyes from crying were full of gratitude, which made Xiao Jin's heart soften.

Xiao Jin sighed secretly. After all, she was the woman he chose, so he could only continue to spoil her.

He looked at the tears hanging on Song Lingxi's feathery long eyelashes, which were crystal clear and matched with the bright red tail of her eyes. How could he not sigh?

"Okay, stop crying. Let's go outside the palace and take a look. If it's just a false alarm, it won't be a big deal."

Xiao Jin used his warm big hands to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his movements were gentle and careful as if he was treating a fragile treasure.

Finally, with Xiao Jin's comfort, Song Lingxi stopped crying, and her little hands clutched his sleeves insecurely.

Like a poor little cub, she was searching for the scent that made her feel most at ease. Her little hands clung to the other person tightly, not daring to let go.

"Ah."

Song Lingxi nodded and waited for the carriage with peace of mind like Xiao Jin. After a while, the young eunuch came in to answer.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the carriage is ready. Do you want to set off now?"

Xiao Jin glanced at Song Lingxi who was waiting in his arms, and picked her up and said, "Let's go."

Song Lingxi was unexpectedly hugged by someone and could only hang tightly on the other person's neck, fearing that she would fall if she was not careful.

She leaned against the man's chest, feeling Xiao Jin's bulging muscles. Somehow, she thought of last night...

Song Lingxi's face quickly turned red, but she shook her head, discarded the unnecessary thoughts in her mind, and whispered to Xiao Jin's chest.

"Your Majesty, I can leave on my own."

Xiao Jin didn't even pause, and carried her all the way to the carriage. Because of his strong body, he didn't even sweat a bit.

"Nothing, I'm here, Xi'er just needs to be obedient."

As he spoke, he threw the man up, frightening Song Lingxi so much that she screamed loudly and threw herself tightly around the man's neck: "Ah, Your Majesty!"

“Hahahahahahahahaha, don’t be afraid.”

Xiao Jin glanced at Song Lingxi, who had regained some vitality, and laughed out loud, finally feeling a little relieved.
