But no matter how much Xiaocui shouted, no one paid attention to her.

She screamed for a while, and probably felt tired, so she lay on the bed angrily, thinking about how to find a chance to meet the prince and complain to him.

But Xiao Cui would never have thought that Leng Xi would not think of her at all at this time, but would come to Yu Qiaoqiao's room with a bottle of wine and two plates of side dishes.

Regarding his arrival, Yu Qiaoqiao acted very indifferently, and Leng Xi also knew what she was thinking. He ordered the girl to put down the dishes and wine, and then motioned for the girl to go down.

When there were only the two of them here, Leng Xi sat opposite Yu Qiaoqiao, poured her a glass of wine, poured another glass for herself, and then said:

"Still angry?"

Yu Qiaoqiao looked up at him and smiled disdainfully,

"No, I can't be angry."

"What you said is just angry. I know that I did something wrong in this matter, but I can't help it. The child is here, and I have to admit it!"

"I said, I'm not angry, and I have no right to be angry. You are the prince, and I have no right to control how many women you want to find. Just tell me, come to me, what's the matter? If it's okay, I'm tired... …”

Seeing Yu Qiaoqiao blasting him away, Leng Xi's eyebrows gained a bit of coolness. He then picked up the wine glass at hand and took a sip. The moment he put the glass down, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile:

"Nothing, let me chat with you for a while. Do you really hate me so much?"

Yu Qiaoqiao was a little afraid of Leng Xi's sudden show of kindness. She didn't know what his purpose was, or she didn't believe it at all. He came to her because he wanted to chat with her.

She looked at him with cold eyes and asked with doubt:

"If you have any problem, just tell me!"

Leng Xi didn't know which muscle he had made the mistake of lately. When he was alone, he couldn't help but think of Yu Qiaoqiao.

Maybe it was his inner desire to conquer that was at work. The more indifferent she was to him, the more he wanted to get closer to her.

The woman in front of him was his wife, but the way she looked at him was so unfamiliar.

He suddenly reached across the table and placed his hand on hers.

Yu Qiaoqiao's body trembled, and then she wanted to withdraw her hand, but Leng Xi held her tightly. He stared at her and asked urgently:

"I am your man, why are you avoiding me?"

Leng Xi's question made Yu Qiaoqiao feel like laughing. She looked at him, her eyebrows moved, and she sneered lightly at the corner of her mouth:

"Are you my man? I have never felt that, just like you said to me back then, you will only give me a title and nothing else. In these years, I have never dared I had an extravagant hope that you would become my man. Between us, we are just strangers living under the same roof."

Listening to her complaining words, Leng Xi suddenly stood up and came to her side. He wanted to hug her, but she avoided him.

She stood up hurriedly, took two steps back, smiled and shook her head.

"Many times I think, in fact, it's good for us to be like this. We don't interfere with each other, don't disturb each other, and we live in peace. I quite like this way of getting along, so don't break it, okay?"

Leng Xi took two steps forward, pressed her directly against the bed, and said with a blushing face:

"I know that I have done many wrong things to you in the past, but I have repented of it now. We have been husband and wife for many years, and I suddenly feel that I have slowly fallen in love with you, and soon, I will be the emperor. At that time, you are my only candidate for queen, please don’t refuse me again, okay?”

To be king?

Leng Xi's words made Yu Qiaoqiao look at him with fear in her eyes. She wanted to ask him what he wanted to do, but Leng Xi couldn't help but pushed her down on the bed and kissed her hard.

Just as Yu Qiaoqiao struggled to break free, a rapid knock on the door came.

"Your Majesty, Princess, it's not good, something happened to Xiao Cui."

Hearing these words, the heat that had just risen in Lengxi was instantly extinguished, and Yu Qiaoqiao also felt as if he was receiving an amnesty.

They quickly packed their clothes and went straight to Xiao Cui's room.

When they came to the door, Leng Xi looked at the girl at the door and asked in a cold voice:

"What's up with her?"

"Your Majesty, she was about to hang herself just now. Fortunately, she was discovered by the slaves. She is still crying. The slaves were afraid that something might happen to her, so they sent someone to call you."

Hearing these words, Leng Xi's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted angrily:

"Open the door."

The girl hurriedly opened the door. As soon as Leng Xi and Yu Qiaoqiao stepped in, they heard Xiao Cui's plaintive cry echoing in the room.

"Uh-huh, why do you want to save me? Instead of living in such a miserable way, why not let me die? Do you want to suffocate me to death? Don't you think I can die even if I want to?"

"My lord, you should come and see Xiaocui. They all bully me. Everyone bullies me. They don't give me food, don't let me go out, and they yell at me and scold me. How can I live like this?"

Listening to Xiaocui's complaints, Yu Qiaoqiao's eyebrows showed a hint of disgust.

This woman is really capable.

Leng Xi frowned and walked towards the inner room with long strides, but Yu Qiaoqiao turned around and retreated.

Xiaocui, who was lying on the bed crying bitterly, saw Leng Xi and threw herself into his arms, crying loudly.

"Your Highness, you are here. If you don't come, I will starve to death here. I was pregnant with your child. Not only did I not receive the care I deserved, but I was abused by them. It shows that they are very considerate. How vicious."

Leng Xi allowed Xiao Cui to nuzzle in his arms. After a while, he asked:

"What's going on? Who didn't let you out? Who starved you?"

Only then did Xiaocui stop crying, raised her teary eyes to look at him, and replied with sobs:

"Yes...it's the princess. She said...she said she asked people outside to watch me, locked me in the house, and didn't let me go out. She didn't give me food until tomorrow night. Listen, I'm so hungry They are all so hungry that they are growling."

Hearing this, Leng Xi's face instantly darkened.

She exhaled forcefully and shouted angrily:

"Call the princess."

He wanted to ask, why did Yu Qiaoqiao do this?

Yu Qiaoqiao, who was waiting outside the door, heard his shout and was about to go inside when Chuntao cautiously reminded:

"Princess, be careful she is the first to complain."

Yu Qiaoqiao shook his head with an earthy face and said to himself:

“What is black cannot be whitened, and what is white cannot be blackened.”

After saying that, she lifted her feet and walked towards the house.

Hearing her footsteps coming in, Leng Xi raised his voice and ordered through the screen:

"Come in."

Yu Qiaoqiao walked in obediently.

When he saw her coming in, Xiao Cui couldn't help but shrink into Leng Xi's arms, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Leng Xi looked at Yu Qiaoqiao and asked with sharp eyes:

"Why don't you give her food? Why don't you let her go out? Didn't I tell you to cook for her alone so that she can stay in a good mood and give birth to the child well?"
