Chapter 106 The Princess Faints (2)
The first person to react was Jing Anle. Knowing that she couldn't get carried away, she calmly closed her eyes after a moment and stopped looking.
Xiao Heng shook his head helplessly. He knew what Jing Anle meant, but he wouldn't give up.
Afang followed behind the two of them, genuinely worried that something might have happened to Jing Anle.
……
Inside Jiying Hall.
Jing Rou had just said that Jing Anle had hit her, but now that Jing Anle had fainted and was in critical condition, the credibility of her words was greatly reduced. However, since she was a princess, no one dared to say anything more.
"Master, I see that the princess is also unwell. Why don't you go back and rest first?"
It was Qi Zhi who spoke. The woman he admired was right in front of him; how could he not express his concern?
As a woman, Kou Shuran immediately noticed the difference in Qi Zhi's feelings for Jing Rou, but she obediently stood aside, ignoring it.
Sure enough, Jing Rou looked at Qi Zhi with grateful eyes. She was both angry and aggrieved that Jing Anle had slapped her today.
She had originally intended to play along, accusing Jing Anle of abusing her power, but now Jing Anle proved to be a skilled actress. However, she couldn't very well accuse Jing Anle of faking it in public and make a scene; that wouldn't be befit her status. At this moment, she genuinely just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
“What you say makes sense, that’s a good idea.” Chi Wenyuan nodded, then turned to Jing Rou and said, “Princess, you should go back and rest first.”
He was a man, and both Jing Anle and Jing Rou were noble ladies of the royal family. He shouldn't have asked too many questions, but he wasn't afraid of trouble. Although Jing Anle was unconscious, his teaching couldn't be delayed.
“Master, why don’t I escort the princess?” Kou Shuran suggested.
Jing Anle and Jing Rou have both left, leaving her alone as a woman. It's not a big deal, but it's good to avoid suspicion.
"fair enough!"
Jing Rou felt extremely annoyed by Kou Shuran's smiling face, but she had no choice but to put on a polite smile.
"Master is truly dedicated to his duty!" said Yelü Yuanxiu, who always enjoyed making sarcastic remarks.
Chi Wenyuan remained calm and said little.
Jing Rou bowed and then left with Kou Shuran and her maid. As she left, she gave Qi Zhi a look that seemed both ambiguous and grateful, revealing the tenderness and affection of a woman.
Qi Zhi was overjoyed, but his expression remained calm, showing no sign of it.
"Let's start class!" Chi Wenyuan flicked his sleeves, tossed out a sentence, and walked directly to his seat.
……
Yongfu Palace.
"Why don't you leave?"
Jing Anle was lying on the bed, looking at Xiao Heng with a puzzled expression.
"If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way! I'll naturally wait for the imperial physician to come and find out the results before I leave!" Xiao Heng said with a half-smile.
“Aren’t you afraid my father will punish you?” Jing Anle retorted.
"Crime? What crime?" Xiao Heng pretended not to know.
Jing Anle turned her head away and simply ignored him.
"Are you angry?" Xiao Heng couldn't help but lean over to look at her when he saw her expression, his tone as if he were coaxing a child.
"Okay, then you get some rest, I'll be going now."
He was about to turn away after speaking when Jing Anle heard this and turned back. Unexpectedly, Xiao Heng suddenly turned around, a playful smile on his face, and said, "Are you afraid that His Majesty will punish me for being disrespectful to the princess?"
"You really can't bear to see me suffer!"
Jing Anle was surprised when he suddenly turned around. As if his thoughts had been read, she was about to speak when she heard Xiao Heng's voice again.
"Disrespectful to the princess, damaging her reputation."
Hmm? Jing Anle listened quietly when suddenly Xiao Heng leaned closer, the two of them only a finger's width apart. Looking at Xiao Heng's handsome face, she was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think to herself: This person is really good-looking.
"You have been disrespectful to the princess and damaged her reputation. I am willing to marry you and spend my whole life in love and devotion!"
Xiao Heng's voice was gentle and tender, seemingly filled with tender love. Jing Anle could see his lips moving up and down, and she could also see the affection flowing in his eyes. She suddenly felt her heart beating faster than she could control.
