Chapter 54 Acting Before the Crown Prince >

ou know Couldn't it be a guess"He usually had chest tightness and shortness of breath, but whenever his emotions were agitated, the condition would worsen. However, he had tried his best to control h...Now that the Prince is here, Chun Tao feels like she's in the right. She proudly looks up at Qing Xuan, certain that Qing Xuan wouldn't dare to scold her now.

When the Crown Prince left, she followed him out of the courtyard.

Ji Qingxuan couldn't take a single step out of this courtyard. Even when the time comes, those who await death will be powerless against her.

At this time, Nangong Qing followed Chun Tao's words and said: "Younger sister, what the maid said is correct. Before I didn't come to see Aye, I knew that Aye at that time didn't want to see anyone. Including now, he doesn't want to see me either. But after all, we are brothers in this life, before he leaves, I want to see him one last time."

Qingxuan crossed her arms and let out a cold laugh: "To see him one last time before he dies You, as his brother, are hoping he dies sooner"

Before Nangong Qing could speak, Chun Tao, who was kneeling on the ground, eagerly interjected as if vying for credit.

Chun Tao: "Your Highness, how can you be so disrespectful to the Crown Prince The Crown Prince..."

Before Chun Tao could finish her words, Qing Xuan interrupted her.

Qingxuan: "Presumptuous! This Princess is speaking with the Crown Prince, where do you have the audacity to interrupt! For these past days, the Lord has been bedridden and unable to move. I have been by his side, attending to him. Because of my negligence in managing the servants of this household, all of you have forgotten your manners and even dare to interrupt the conversation between the master and guests!"

Qing Xuan remained composed, subtly shifting the dynamic between her and Nangong Qing from that of a princess and her consort to simply master and guest.

Of course, the host's words naturally carry more weight than a guest's.

Nan Gongqing's face maintained a warm smile.

"My younger sister is right. The servants in this household need to be disciplined for their insubordination. We must make sure they follow the rules and regulations."

Qingxuan: “The prince is right. Zhang Jin, slap me!”

Chun Tao originally wanted to make a good impression in front of the Crown Prince, hoping he would remember her. When Nangong Ye and Ji Qingxuan died, she was summoned back to the palace by Empress Jiang. She then had another chance to appear before the Crown Prince. If she could be favored by him, even as a concubine, once he ascended the throne, she would rise to prominence.

In just that brief instant, Chun Tao had already imagined herself as the empress in her painting.

Jian Chun's gaze was hot as she stared at him, Nan Gong Qing frowned, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.

Slap!

A crisp slap echoed at the gate, jolting Chun Tao awake from her dream. The pain on her face was a rude awakening.

In front of Nan Gongqing, Qingxuan is the master and Zhang Jin wouldn't hold back.

A slap landed on Chun Tao's face, and she could feel her cheekbones cracking. She cried out in pain, but Zhang Jin didn't stop slapping her.

Zhang Jin also left a way out for Chun Tao.

His slap only landed on the half of Chun Tao's face that hadn't been injured.

Chun Tao cried out in pain, her cries shrill and piercing like a pig being slaughtered. Qing Xuan only found them to be annoying.

After ten slaps, Chun Tao was covered in blood.

Qingxuan: "Almost done."

The pain on her face disappeared, and Chun Tao still had the energy to glare fiercely at Qingxuan.

After she dies, this bitch will have her mouth stuffed with feces and be flayed alive!

Qingxuan saw Chun Tao's eyes and knew she couldn't come up with anything good.

Qing Xuan ordered Zhang Jin, "Knock her unconscious and take her away."

Zhang Jin did as Qing Xuan said, knocking Chun Tao unconscious. But after dragging her away, he didn't leave the courtyard too far.

According to Ginger Concubine's request, he had to stay at the entrance of the courtyard and prevent Qingxuan from running away.

Having put the impertinent servant in his place, Nangong Qing spoke again to her younger sister: "Sister-in-law, now can I go see A Ye"

Although Qingxuan still stood at the door, her tone was firm.

Qingxuan: "No."

A trace of surprise flashed across Nangong Qing's gentle eyes.

Nangong Qing: "What's the matter Is Aye... in a very bad situation now"

Qing Xuan let out another cold snort: "Your Highness, you just cursed my husband saying he wouldn't live for long, and now you're saying his condition isn't objective. Aren't you hoping that my husband would meet Yama sooner rather than later"

Qingxuan deliberately acted out as if she was emotionally unstable.

The previous moment she was still sneering, the next she was tugging on Nan Gong Qing's sleeve and began to wail. fraud and murder, leading to their execution. 。Zhao Shen wanted to use the same trick to frame Qing Xuan, even if she was a princess. 。Zhao Shen's gaze towards Qing Xuan was filled with a sinister an...
