As a member of the royal family, His Royal Highness Prince Li would definitely not joke about the royal dignity, otherwise it would be an insult to Beiling and disrespect to the emperor, right?"

When saying this, Jiang Xue secretly glanced at Emperor Beiling, meaning to remind the Queen that Emperor Beiling was sober and that since it concerned the royal family's reputation, the Queen had to think carefully before speaking.

Ha! A joke? If something had really been found in Prince Gong's Mansion just now, she didn't believe that Xiao Li would just laugh it off and let her go!

This little elf!

The queen cursed in her heart, but was silenced by Jiang Xue!

She specifically picked the issue of face that the emperor cared about the most to shut her up! If she said something wrong, not only would she protect Xiao Li, her Su family might also get into trouble!

Seeing the queen remained silent, Xiao Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot! Did he really kneel down at the palace gate in public?

He can't afford to lose face!

Finally, his eyes looking for help fell on Emperor Beiling. His biological father would never let the heir of Beiling lose face like this, right?

"Your Majesty, the reason why the royal family's prestige is indestructible is that our royal family members are consistent in their words and deeds, setting an example for the people of Beiling! If even the royal family does not keep their words, how can the people be convinced? How can the country be governed?"

The Queen Mother stood between Emperor Beiling and Xiao Li, speaking in a stern tone.

The Queen Mother saw everything about Xiao Li's evasive behavior just now. This child has been spoiled since childhood. It's time to teach him a lesson!

"Empress Dowager..." The Queen widened her eyes, unable to believe it. Did this old woman really want the Emperor to do such a shameful thing?

"Be quiet!" The Queen Mother glared at her with sharp eyes.

“Your Majesty, I have to admit defeat! Do as you said to Yun Che and Chang Le before!” The Queen Mother said firmly.

"Oh my god, have you heard? It's a big deal! His Royal Highness Prince Li actually knelt down at the palace gate and kowtowed with every step!"

"Is this true? His Royal Highness Prince Li is usually so arrogant, how could he do such a thing?"

"You don't understand this, do you? I have a buddy who works in the palace, and he told me personally that His Royal Highness Prince Li lost the bet with Princess Changle, and now he is fulfilling his promise!"

Outside the palace gate, there were huge crowds of people, all gathered around the palace gate to watch the excitement!

Sure enough, Xiao Li had a gloomy face, and he knelt down every time he took a step, facing the direction of the palace gate, as if he was paying homage to the common people.

Feeling the hot gazes from the people around him, Xiao Li was so angry!

This bunch of troublemakers! When I stand up, I will have all these onlookers arrested and killed!

Xiao Li has always been superior to others since he was born. How could he have ever suffered such humiliation!

After finally finishing his bow, Xiao Li immediately got up.

Unfortunately, I knelt for too long and stood up too quickly, the blood rushed to my head and I felt dizzy in an instant.

Fortunately, the servant behind him was quick-witted and supported him, and he was able to stand steadily.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" The servant's face was full of concern, fearing that something might happen to Xiao Li.

"I'm fine!" Xiao Li shook off the servant's hand, propped himself up, straightened his back, and stared at the two people walking side by side.

"Your Highness Prince Li is truly a role model of the Beiling royal family. Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Changle admires him." Jiang Xue saluted gracefully in front of everyone.

"Don't think that I will just let it go." Xiao Li moved closer to Jiang Xue, lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him, and threatened viciously.

"If Second Brother still isn't satisfied, I will be happy to accompany you to the end."

Xiao Zhan patted his shoulder lightly, then gave him a gentle push. Xiao Li had just kneeled so many times that his knees were weak and he staggered back several steps!

"Be careful, Your Highness, this road is not easy to walk on."

Jiang Xue walked side by side with Xiao Zhan with a smile on her face. She kicked away a small stone that was in the way and turned back to glare at him deeply.

"Fourth brother! Wait for me!"

Seeing the young couple getting into the carriage, Xiao Yun hurriedly chased after them. Because he was running so fast, he didn't even notice that he stepped on Xiao Li's foot.

The dirty marks on his shoes became the last straw that broke Xiao Li's sanity!

How dare a bastard born of a lowly palace maid humiliate him like this!

Veins bulged at the corners of his eyes and his clenched fists made crackling sounds. That sound was like the prelude to death.

“This time it’s really too close!”

In the carriage, Fu Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was in the palace, she didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the princess would fall into Xiao Min's trap.

The pretentious Fifth Princess used to bully their princess again and again!

But she didn't expect that this time Xiao Min not only wanted to embarrass the princess, but also wanted to kill her directly!

Fortunately, the princess was blessed with great wisdom and was able to escape the disaster.

"It's indeed dangerous." Jiang Xue looked at Fu Dong with a smile.

She must have been very scared after the tense situation just now.

"Fortunately, we have escaped danger. The princess is safe, which is our greatest luck," Xiaochun said.

"It's a pity that Xiao Min got away."

As soon as the two girls got in the car, they sat on Xiaoxue's left and right, and he, as her husband, couldn't get close to them at all.

Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows and reached out to pull Jiang Xue to sit next to him.

Completely ignoring the confused expressions of the two girls opposite him, Xiao Zhan felt a little relieved.

This is the normal seating arrangement.

Jiang Xue was startled by his sudden move and looked into his deep eyes. Those dark eyes seemed to hide countless secrets, which made people fall into them involuntarily. They were so charming that they could not help but make people die. Even Jiang Xue, who was used to seeing handsome guys since she was a child, could not help but be electrified by him this time.

"Your Highness, do you know why Xiyan suddenly jumped out to take the blame?" She had been thinking about this question from beginning to end. Logically, Xiyan wanted to trick Xiao Min, right? Then why didn't she hide aside and wait for Xiao Min to be humiliated, but jumped out and took the initiative to confess?

From the beginning, Jiang Xue felt that Xi Yan was a little strange today. First, when she poured wine for Xiao Min, she didn't notice that the wine was overflowing, and then her eyes were erratic.

She looked like she had lost her soul. The last words she uttered before she died seemed like she was venting her anger. And when she was suffocating, she grabbed her arms tightly and struggled desperately.

This series of abnormal behaviors made Jiang Xue feel that something was wrong.

"If you knew what Jun Li did to Xi Yan, you would understand why Xi Yan did this." Xiao Zhan said, taking out a small dice from his arms and handing it to Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue read the note in the dice, and the mocking smile on her face became more and more intense.

"No wonder Xiyan lost control like that, this is the reason. Coercion plus temptation, this is really Junli's style. But Xiyan miscalculated, she took the blame for Xiao Min in order to save her family's lives, but in the end, she failed to save any of the family members she wanted to protect."
