Chapter Seventeen: Exposed

tand. Shangguan Jinghong was notorious for being nonchalant and carefree. Although he always wore a smile, in reality, he was the most difficult person to get close to and it was hard to have any feel..."Princess I startled the princess, Yue apologizes to the princess. Princess, it's fine now..."

"Ugh—" She vomited on him unpolitely. Originally, Su Qingying had only spit out some acid water, but now with Rong Yue's turn, she even vomited stomach acid.

Come on! You saved me, save me! What are you doing Are you dancing ballet!

"Rongyue's mouth twitched, and her eyes showed obvious disdain.

He only saved her, she doesn't need to treat herself this way!

Lowering his head to look at the pile of filth in front of him, he frowned, clearly disgusted.

"Hiss—" Everyone felt a wave of dizziness, surrounded by the sound of gasps. They all knew their Grand Chancellor had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder! That East Mountain Princess was truly bold!

Su Ziyi also felt his mind was buzzing, even the members of Dongyue's entourage had a blush on their faces. The princess really embarrassed the face of Dongyue!

"Ying'er!" A warm voice rang out, clearly showing Su Zixu's displeasure.

Su Qingying's little heart trembled, her eyes rolled, and she fainted right there in front of everyone.

"Yinger, Ying'er what's wrong with you" Glancing at Su Qingying who had fainted, Su Ziyue's eyes flashed, a glimmer passing through his deep pupils. His heart tightened as well, hurriedly going over to take her body.

" "..." Su Qingying lay in Su Ziyi's arms, her eyes tightly closed, rolling her eyes in her heart, Imperial brother, don't you see that I'm dead tired "

"Dong Yue Tai Zi, Yue looks at your Highness's face is not very good. You all have been traveling by boat and carriage for a long time, why don't you first rest at the行宮 overnight We will meet the Emperor tomorrow." Rong Yue's voice came with a light smile.

Su Ziyi opened his mouth with a slight awkwardness, "Then I'll have to decline your offer, Lord Rong. Thank you for sparing Ying'er's life. This favor, this palace will accept it. And I hope Lord Rong will overlook Ying'er's rash actions."

Rong Yue smiled, not caring much as she spoke: "Your Highness is too kind. It's just a piece of clothing." After a pause, her gaze shifted to Su Qingying, with a playful depth in her bright eyes, "Noble Princess, your body seems frail. Would you like me to invite the imperial physician to take a look"

Su Qingying's heart skipped a beat, secretly cursing Xi Ming's prime minister for being such a busybody. Could this even warrant calling a physician If she called one, wouldn't it expose her!

Su Ziyi smiled faintly, refusing without a trace of sound. "As I am new here, I won't trouble Prime Minister Rong. Your kindness is deeply appreciated. Ying'er has always been playful since childhood. She should be fine with some rest. Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister."

Upon hearing this, Rong Yue no longer said anything and nodded. "In that case, Yue will return to report to the Emperor, Prince, farewell."

"Lord Chancellor, please."

……

The Dongyue Escort arrived at the Xi Ming Palace, and Su Ziyì carried Su Qingying onto the soft bed in Liúyún Palace. After dismissing everyone, he stood quietly before the bed, a pair of phoenix eyes gazing deeply at the face that was both familiar and strange, with a hint of unclarity hidden within them.

Su Qingying wasn't truly dead. Being stared at by Su Ziyi like this, her heart pounded nervously. She inwardly cried out, "Why hasn't he left yet Won't he see through me"

Just when Su Qingying was feeling incredibly nervous and uneasy, Su Ziyi's voice suddenly rang out, "Xier."

When Xi'er heard the voice, she walked in and bowed slightly. "Your Highness," she said.

"Take good care of the princess." With that, he turned and strode out the door, leaving only a magnificent figure behind.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xi'er curtsied again to his departing figure.n. "Three to one for ten.""Hold on, four twos, boom! I won again, haha, pay up, pay up!" Su Qingying was practically bursting with laughter, stretching out both hands and rubbing her index finger and...
