Chapter 83

Consort Bai thought she had heard wrong and couldn't help asking again.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Xixi thought to herself, this young lady isn't that old, so why are her ears so bad?

She had to repeat herself: "I said, I refuse."

Consort Bai was so angry at her completely disrespectful and cold attitude that her heart ached, and she wanted to cough but was afraid of being accused of spreading germs, so she could only hold her chest and breathe heavily, her face turning even paler.

Liu Xu quickly supported her: "Your Majesty, don't be angry."

Xiao Xixi chimed in: "Yes, don't let others' anger affect you. Getting sick won't help anyone."

Consort Bai: "……"

Liu Xu: "……"

Consort Bai struggled to raise her hand, pointing at Xiao Xixi, her fingers trembling with anger: "You, you, shut up!"

Xiao Xixi sighed: "If I die of anger, who will be happy? Besides, it's exhausting and hurtful."

Consort Bai was really about to be driven to death by her.

Liu Xu, seeing her mistress's face turn pale, hurriedly tried to calm her down: "Don't pay attention to her, she's just trying to anger you. Don't fall for her tricks."

Consort Bai gritted her teeth and forced herself to suppress the surging anger in her chest.

At this moment, her face was as pale as gold, and her breath was faint, as if she might faint at any moment.

Xiao Xixi, fearing she might be framed, deliberately moved away, keeping a distance from her.

Consort Bai took a long time to recover slightly.

She glared at Xiao Xixi, her eyes reddening, slowly filling with tears, looking both sad and indignant.

"I know you're jealous that my rank is higher than yours, and you feel unbalanced, so you're deliberately trying to anger me. It doesn't matter; I'm already in poor health, so even if you really do anger me to death, it's no big deal. But the Crown Prince is a precious life. How can you watch him take such risks in the south with peace of mind?"

Xiao Xixi answered very seriously: "I can."

Consort Bai was choked up again.

She slowly widened her eyes, her voice filled with accusation: "The Crown Prince dotes on you so much, yet you don't care about his life and safety at all. Do you even have a heart?!"

Xiao Xixi, preoccupied with the roasted duck in the kitchen, just wanted to get this frail Consort Bai out of her way, so she admitted it frankly.

"I don't have a heart."

Consort Bai: "……"

Xiao Xixi: "I'm not human."

Consort Bai: "…………"

Xiao Xixi: "I'm cruel, heartless, and indifferent to death."

Consort Bai: "………………"

Xiao Xixi: "A person like me doesn't deserve the Crown Prince's favor."

Consort Bai: "……………………"

Xiao Xixi thought, I've been so thorough in self-deprecating, shouldn't you be satisfied and leave now?

Suddenly, three clear bird calls came from outside the window.

Consort Bai, as if she couldn't bear it any longer, rolled her eyes and fainted.

Liu Xu was shocked and hurriedly supported her: "Your Majesty!"

Consort Bai, leaning in Liu Xu's arms, remained unconscious and motionless.

Just then, a voice outside announced:

"The Crown Prince has arrived!"

Bao Qin's heart skipped a beat, thinking it was a bad omen. Why did the Crown Prince come at such an inopportune time?

She quickly followed Consort Xiao out to greet the Crown Prince.

Luo Qinghan, upon entering the Qingge Hall, immediately sensed that something was amiss.

He looked at Consort Xiao, noticing a hint of anxiety in her expression.

"What's wrong? You look very worried."

Xiao Xixi answered truthfully: "There's a duck roasting in the kitchen. I'm worried that if it's not turned for a long time, it will burn and won't taste good."

She had originally planned to get rid of Consort Bai so she could enjoy the delicious roasted duck, but before she could, the Crown Prince showed up.

One problem after another.

When would she get to eat her roasted duck?!
