Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 376 Carmine Tears
"Your Majesty rewarded me with twelve beauties. You panicked, didn't you?" He stared at her lightly, with no emotion in his eyes, as if the love just now was just a dream, and the words he said were colder than the words , like a sharp long sword, piercing her heart one after another.

"So on the grounds of giving me food, take out the means of flattery, and don't hesitate to use this kind of wine for me, right?"

"Zhao Xiwei..." He sighed lowly, stroking her half-exposed collarbone with his fingers, seemingly nostalgic but also ruthless, "It's the first time I think about you today, and I will pretend that nothing happened, and in the future—"

"Li Xuanye!" Zhao Xiwei couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted him loudly.

"In your eyes, am I such a woman?" She grabbed the collar with both hands, her body trembled uncontrollably, and a layer of bright water flooded into her almond eyes, which made his heart suddenly tighten and ache.

He looked at her silently.

Zhao Xi bit the corner of his lips slightly, trying to restrain the urge to cry.

"What do you think of me?" Her eyes were red, and she asked word by word: "In your heart, I am no different from those twelve court ladies, am I? No..." Her voice choked up, "Even worse than They might as well put down their self-esteem and you in order to keep you..."

The words stopped abruptly.

She thought, thought he was too impulsive.

It turned out not to be, he was calmer than ever, he just wanted to see her lose control!

When she realized this, shame, resentment and humiliation were like sea water, drowning out her remaining self-esteem.

She couldn't stay in front of him for another moment, couldn't look at him again.

She jumped off the table, but her legs were still weak, and she almost fell down when she swayed.

Li Xuanye's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, almost subconsciously, he reached out and hugged her.

"Let me go!" She stood still and immediately pushed him away.

Li Xuanye looked at the empty palm, and was stunned for a moment: "Zhao Xiwei..."

Zhao Xiwei quickly turned his back, quickly put on his clothes, and fastened his belt again.

Her heart was trembling, her body was trembling too, and her fingertips couldn't tie the knots several times, but she still held her breath and tidied herself up bit by bit.

When she turned around again, she stared at him without blinking, tears flickering in her eyes.

Li Xuanye looked at her silently, the tears seemed to have a kind of magical power, making his heart tighten slowly, tightening, and finally defeated, calling out softly: "Wei'er—"

"Okay!" Zhao Xiwei took a deep breath, pulled out an extremely indifferent but extremely standard smile, and then curtseyed to him: "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty, I will resign now!"

"Wei'er!" His heart tightened, and his tone was slightly anxious: "I'm just afraid that you will be used by others!"

"Use?" Zhao Xi paused slightly and turned around slowly.

She was not only ashamed and angry now.

I just feel that a heart is held up to the top of the cloud by others, and then thrown away mercilessly.

Just like that, it fell straight, fell, and finally fell to the ground with a clatter, falling apart.

She endured the pain and glanced at His Royal Highness.

His eyes were full of disappointment, sadness, and endless sorrow: "In the eyes of Your Highness, can love be used?"

Before he could say a word, his eye sockets suddenly became turbulent.

"Zhao Xiwei—" Li Xuanye's expression changed.

When tears were about to fall, she quickly turned around and rushed towards the palace gate.

"Wei'er!" Li Xuanye stretched out his hand to pull, but only caught a piece of sleeve, she pulled hard, and even that piece of sleeve was not left for him.

Li Xuanye stood where he was, his hands clenched and then loosened.

"Your Highness!" Yuan Ce and Yang Yi rushed in, and when they saw His Highness the Crown Prince, they were suddenly taken aback: "Your Highness, you..."

Wasn't everything fine just now?

Why did you turn around and quarrel again?

Yuan Ce and Yang Yi glanced at each other, both a little terrified.

Yang Yi was clever, and hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Why don't you chase him back?"

"Forget it..." His Royal Highness turned around, leaving only an indifferent back view to the two of them, with a tired tone: "She is in a bad mood, don't bother her..."

"Yes." Yang Yi and Yuan Ce pursed their lips, as if they remembered something, and asked, "Your Highness, those twelve beauties..."

Li Xuanye sat down in the chair, took a book out of boredom, closed it and threw it aside in boredom.

This beauty was sent by the emperor, he certainly can't just send her away like this...

He pondered for a while and didn't answer, Yuan Ce on the other end thought that his master had acquiesced, so he cupped his hands and said: "Aunt Suyu has made arrangements, and the beauties have already taken the decoction. If your highness is tired, let them come in." serving?"

"What soup?" His Royal Highness was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized.

His face darkened, and he remembered Gu Hansu's words: "Before the antidote is developed, the princess should not be pregnant."

"Yuan Ce, go and call Suyu over."

……

Zhao Xiwei sprinted all the way holding the hem of her skirt, and Jinxiu had to trot to keep up.

She was outside the study just now, and she could hear the movements inside clearly, and she was secretly happy for her young lady, why did she have red eye circles when she came out?
Is it because His Highness the Crown Prince is not gentle enough, making the lady cry again?
Is it because my young lady is too thin-skinned and too shy to cry?
She was full of suspicion, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just prayed in her heart that it would not be a quarrel.

When Zhao Xiwei stepped into the sleeping hall, Suyu was gathering a bunch of little maids, giving lectures in the side hall with a straight face.

Seeing Zhao Xiwei's figure, he quickly greeted him with a smile: "Crown Princess..." When he saw Zhao Xiwei's eyes filled with tears, his heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? ?”

His eyes fell on her neck, with red marks on it, and he understood it instantly, and said with a smile: "My servant is going to get you hot water, can you take a good bath and relax?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Xiwei pinched his palms slightly, holding back the tears that were about to roll down.

Sitting in the warm tub, looking across the skin, the red marks bloomed like peach blossoms, all of which proved how intense the love just now was.

In Suyu's eyes, this was a good thing, but in Zhao Xiwei's eyes, it was a proof of even more shame and humiliation.

She scooped up a handful of warm water with both hands, and gently pressed her eyelashes, tears finally slipped down unscrupulously.

He actually looked at her like that.

What she thought of as love, in his eyes, turned out to be asking for favor and flattery...

In his eyes, is she such an unscrupulous, self-respecting woman?

Even if she has the idea of ​​being jealous and competing for favor, so what?Is it wrong that she is an ordinary woman not wanting to share her husband with others?
If he doesn't like it, he can reject her directly.

But he chose to humiliate her in this way...

Thinking of that scene, she was so ashamed and angry that she could no longer forgive herself.

It's ridiculous that she was still secretly happy at the time, and even thought he liked her performance...

Now everyone in the East Palace knows it, and knows that the Crown Princess is in the study with him in order to fight for favor...

She could no longer restrain the turbulent emotions, and she cried in the tub with trembling shoulders.
