Gongxi Xiaoxiao's entire body was in pain, but her mind was blank.
When Jin Buduo's voice rang in her ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.
But she didn't know what he meant, or maybe she didn't want to know. Her head kept shaking.
She didn't know if she was refusing to answer or saying that she didn't know.
Jin Buduo's face was fierce. He stood up abruptly, grabbed the prepared chili water, and splashed it on Gongxi Xiaoxiao without mercy.
"Ah!!"
The heart-wrenching screams shook the entire roof of the palace, and the ear-piercing screams kept echoing in the room.
The sizzling sound was like the sound of meat being fried, but it was actually coming from Gongxi Xiaoxiao's wounds.
Her wounds were already hot from the whipping, so her skin and flesh had a different temperature.
Splashing the chili water on her was like adding oil to the fire.
"Ah!! Ah! It's … it hurts. "
Gongxi Xiaoxiao couldn't take it anymore. She fainted and lay on the ground, motionless. Her body was mottled with blood, and it was a horrible sight.
If it wasn't for the faint warm breath that proved that she was still alive, Jin Buduo would have thought that she was dead.
"Clean her up and let the imperial doctors take good care of her. Take care of her and call me when she wakes up."
Jin Buduo threw down the basin in his hand and turned to leave.
He had already expected that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her. His brows furrowed as he thought about what to do next.
The crown prince had already analyzed the situation so clearly. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, he would be letting him down.
His face darkened. Maybe he could …
He made up his mind. He wouldn't do such a thing until the very last moment.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he looked back at the person who had been helped up and cleaned up. A murderous look flashed in his eyes.
The palace where the envoys were resting in was completely silent. It was as if the future of each country would be like this.
Blood, violence, and finally, peace.

"Hey, did you know? Yesterday, a sister said that she saw two men cuddling in the imperial garden, and …"
The girl who started the conversation looked around carefully before continuing.
"They even kissed. And the tall man even carried the skinny one. It seemed like they were going to do it in the room."
"Heavens, really? Who are those two people? What do they look like?"
"I've heard about that too. One of my brothers from my hometown happened to be patrolling last night. He said that the skinny one was very pretty, while the tall one had her back to him. He didn't see her."
"Ah, what a pity, I actually didn't know."
"But who do you think those two are?"
"I'm guessing it's His Majesty and the Crown Prince of Tianhan."
"Hahaha, that's what I guessed too."
— — —
Xunmi, who happened to overhear the conversation, was speechless. What could she say? She was also in despair.
She really couldn't understand the brain circuits of this group of people.
Why did he look so excited? Shouldn't he be despising this kind of thing?
Also, in any case, the male lead was the ruler of a country. Did they think that no one would find out about their private discussions?
How naive!
Silently looking at the sky, he turned around and walked to the other side.
Just as he turned a corner, Xunmi stopped in her tracks. She didn't know whether to enter or not.
"Come, come, come, place your bets. Bet that His Majesty looked at the Crown Prince of Tianhan's side first. Bet that the Crown Prince of Tianhan seduced His Majesty's side first. If you think that he seduced His Majesty at first sight, you'll bet in the middle."
Even though the sharp voice was very soft, one could still hear the excitement in it.
And this voice was especially familiar, Xunmi thought.
In the next moment, she understood.
"Head Steward Liu, which one are you betting on? We'll follow you."
"Yes, yes, yes. Or, Head Steward Liu, you can tell us how His Majesty and the Crown Prince got together."
"Head Steward Liu, quickly tell us."
Xunmi: "…" She really didn't know why this group of people was like this. Poisonous.
The truth told her that there was something even more poisonous than this.
Liu An waved his hand and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, two days ago, our wise and mighty His Majesty looked at the sky at night and discovered that there was an additional star beside his Emperor Star."
"So the next day, he went out for a walk to think about this matter. Then, he walked to the small building in the center of the lake, and then …"
Xunmi, who was still talking endlessly and could also be considered an audience, felt the corners of her mouth twitch. She didn't feel good at all.
She randomly chose a small path and scurried over. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to resist the urge to kill them.
A group of wicked people who mislead the public with deceitful words (?? □ ′)??
Bullsh * t mutual affection. She clearly … didn't like it, right?
Eh (⊙ o ⊙) … Why did she feel a little guilty? She must have been poisoned just now. Yes, that must be it.
She finally left those abnormal places. She exhaled.
She focused her eyes on the surrounding scenery. Should she say that she was lucky?
After turning left and right, she still found Jin Buduo. It seemed like this was also fated by the heavens.
Jin Buduo, who had been anxiously pacing around the palace early in the morning, quickly went up to Xunmi when he saw her.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
At this time, there were endless rumors outside. Would the appearance of the Crown Prince affect the situation? Did he come willingly?
She sighed slightly. She was worried when she thought about the news sent by the servants when she woke up.
Xunmi chose a seat and sat down. She waved her hand casually. She wanted to walk around casually, but in the end …
She came over because she really had something to do.
"Where's Gongxi Xiaoxiao?" The female lead was tortured so badly last night that she didn't know if she was still alive.
At this point, she couldn't help but complain about Baobao. F * ck, it could just monitor the female lead, but it couldn't monitor the male lead. Haha …
Actually, the male lead was its master. Haha …
Baobao, who was mocked twice, was as obedient as a quail. It was afraid that it would make the host angry again.
Only the heavens knew that it didn't do it on purpose. It was the host who blocked her memory and couldn't use her mental strength. Then, the system automatically locked many of her skills. How could it be so miserable?
It felt so wronged and bitter, but it didn't say anything.
Jin Buduo immediately put away the thoughts that he shouldn't have and quickly replied, "The situation isn't good. She's too tight-lipped."
"She keeps saying that she's the princess. Last night, the maid checked the princess's birthmark. She …"
After a pause, he said with difficulty, "Yes."
It didn't seem to be wrong at all.
Xunmi narrowed her eyes. She had expected this result. If the female lead wanted to keep this a secret, it would depend on whether she was lucky enough to do so.
She lowered her eyes and seemed to be lost in thought. After a while, she spoke in confusion.
"The body is the same, but her personality and behavior have changed drastically. It's as if she's a different person. This is too strange."
"It's as if … her soul is different." As she said this, she suddenly looked up.
"Jin Buduo, go test her. Tell her that I know you're not the real person and that I know where you came from. See her reaction."
