Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

"Wait, wait, I... I am fine, why do I need to call the imperial physician? And thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Jing, for saving me this time."

Liu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone busying around, especially Ye Zhi who was so anxious that she was almost crying.

She propped herself up and tried to get up from the couch, but was pushed down by the nosy King Jing.

Liu Lingxi didn't have that much strength and was no match for the opponent. In the end, she could only lie back obediently.

She felt the strength on the back of his hands and arms, and the warm big palm that clamped her like a pair of tongs.

This was the closest they had ever been to each other in their previous life or this life, and their skins were almost touching.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, can you please let me go? This is not right."

Liu Lingxi was clearly aware that something was wrong. She lowered her eyes slightly, then quickly raised her head.

When she looked at Sheng Changling, her gentle gaze was tinged with eagerness, especially her wet eyes, which easily moved the man.

Sheng Changling usually has a bad temper, but today, for some reason, he just couldn't get anything going.

He also knew that he had lost his sense of proportion, especially the smooth little hand under the big hand——

He could clearly feel the woman's slender knuckles and soft palms, which made him want to continue holding her hands.

But when the woman looked at him with her wet eyes, he couldn't ignore the earnestness in her eyes.

Sheng Changling had never thought that he would be so controlled by others.

Alas, I really lost to her.

"Okay, it's Xiao Wang's power, don't blame me, my sister-in-law."

Sheng Changling obediently pulled his hand back, then bowed to the woman to apologize.

But only he himself knows that the warmth lingering on his fingertips is still so nostalgic.

Liu Lingxi didn't know what the other party was thinking, so she nodded in return.

But thinking that the two of them were now together in private, and that she was carried back by Sheng Changling along the way, what if someone else saw them.

This——, I don’t know how it will be spread!

When Liu Lingxi thought of this, a layer of sadness appeared between her brows, and the corners of her mouth drooped, making her look really adorable.

Sheng Changling's attention had never shifted away from the woman, and now that he was looking at her, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

But when he wanted to look again, he heard the woman's gentle voice speaking to him.

"Yes, thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Jing, but... you and I are different in status. I will come to thank you in person when the prince returns some other day. How about -"

"Why don't I let the little prince be a good person to the end and send the Buddha to the west? If the imperial physician doesn't come, I will always feel uneasy. If something happens to the Crown Princess on the way, the Crown Prince will be very sad when he returns."

Sheng Changling saw that the woman was ungrateful and threw him away after using him. Well, in fact, he saw the signs that the Crown Princess wanted to drive him away.

How smart is he?

There are so many aides in the palace for a reason, and they are very good at using little words and tricks.

With just a few words, he silenced the woman and even portrayed his actions as a sign of concern for the prince, loving the man and loving his family as well.

Now, even if Liu Lingxi wanted to say something, she had no reason or excuse.

The air became quiet again. Liu Lingxi opened her mouth but in the end, she said nothing.

She tends to bite her lips when she's nervous, which is one of her little trademarks.

So, being stared at by a man she was not very familiar with and being squeezed in this small space with him, Liu Lingxi began to bite her lips nervously.

She didn't know where to look with her eyes. They kept turning up and down, left and right, and she looked very spiritual.

Sheng Changling looked at her and couldn't help laughing. He couldn't help but talk to her.

"My sister-in-law is afraid of Xiao Wang. Although Xiao Wang has a bad reputation, those are just rumors from the outside world and cannot be taken seriously at all."

Sheng Changling's original intention in saying this was to make Liu Lingxi calm down. He could feel the uneasiness in the woman's heart just by looking at her.

However, it would have been better if he didn't mention it, because once he mentioned it, Liu Lingxi was reminded of King Jing's reputation.

Whether in the previous life or this life, King Jing's image in the eyes of the world is not good.

Although King Jing and the Crown Prince are both equally intelligent, there is a huge contrast between them, and that is their personalities.

Although the prince is a little weak, he can be called a completely benevolent monarch and a kind master.

There were palace maids who treated him harshly when he was a child, but the little prince endured it silently.

Even when the emperor later punished this group of slaves and wanted to execute them, the young prince did not hold a grudge and pleaded for them.

Even though these palace servants did not survive and were still ordered to be executed by the emperor, the prince's reputation for kindness and friendliness still spread.

In contrast, the reputation of King Jing Sheng Changling can be said to be one in heaven and the other on earth.

The thing is, the two of them were studying together in the upper study, and when they read about the official administration of the previous dynasty, their opinions differed.

The prince believed that the previous dynasty did not kill civil officials, which was a blessing for all officials, and that these scholars and officials should be treated with courtesy.

However, King Jing cursed these literati for not having any literati spirit at all. Some of them were only full of calculations, not considering the country, but only thinking about their own pockets. It would be against the will of heaven not to kill them.

The two argued endlessly, and eventually the matter somehow came to the attention of the emperor, and naturally all the ministers knew about it.

The emperor naturally favored the prince more. He did not think that the prince was right, but he felt that the prince was tolerant.

Therefore, King Jing's reputation became the exact opposite of the Crown Prince: petty-minded, sinister, ruthless, and intolerant.

In addition, the Jingwang Mansion did not treat those aides with any preferential treatment and chopped off their heads at will, and its reputation became worse again.

Even the common people knew that His Royal Highness Prince Jing had a fickle temper and would chop off people's heads at any time.

Some people in the market even used King Jing to scare children.

He said that if the child cried again, King Jing would dig out his tongue, and the child never dared to cry again.

In his previous life, it was because of King Jing’s bad reputation that he had too few followers, which could not even compare to the Crown Prince’s.

Of course, among these followers, most were civil officials and censors, and almost all of them stood behind the prince and were staunch supporters of the prince.

If he had not later promised to treat military generals and soldiers well, gained the support of several generals, and launched a coup in time, King Jing might not have had this opportunity.

Speaking of which, King Jing was able to sit on the throne in his previous life because of the right time, the right place, and the right people.
