Chapter 89 Lu Yuxi deliberately made things difficult for herself in order to satisfy his perverted
Bai Qiongzhu, on the other side, watched the whole little dispute between the two. She was somewhat disgusted by her son's unrestrained and indecent gaze, but she didn't want to interfere in the young couple's affairs, so she just shook her head with a smile and took a sip of tea.
After giving Lin Shiming a third warning, Lu Yuxi finally began to clean up the mess left by her Crown Princess.
"Alright, it's not like they're really convicting us of any crime, so don't overreact."
Although an explanation was given, it didn't seem to confirm that Lin Shiming's guess was wrong. The words were vague, as if it were true.
Although Empress Dowager Qin did not faint thanks to Yuan Ye's intervention, she was still so angry that her ears were ringing and she was in a daze, so she failed to notice Lu Yuxi's meaningful words.
Therefore, the concubines, as if waking from a dream, quickly followed Lu Yuxi's lead. Eager to ease the tense atmosphere, they paid no heed to whether her words were malicious; they only cared about quickly moving on and avoiding being implicated in such a dangerous topic.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's because the concubines are too timid."
"It was Your Highness's imposing presence that momentarily overwhelmed us."
"That's right. I only hope that my daughter can learn a little bit from her... sister-in-law, so that she won't be bullied after marriage!"
"Mother, I'm so young, what are you saying!"
…
The group of concubines quickly livened up the atmosphere with their chatter, and by the time Empress Dowager Qin finally regained her hearing, they had already swiftly and perfectly ended the conversation and tacitly moved on to discussing other matters.
Even after recovering, Empress Dowager Qin was still extremely weak. She was terribly dizzy and really didn't want to deal with these beautiful women anymore, so she slammed her hand on the table.
Alright. Let's call it a day.
Everyone get out of here quickly so you can go to bed and rest, and then have someone prescribe some medicine for you to drink.
But Lin Shiming couldn't resist the urge to cause trouble. "Then let's come again tomorrow!" He still had a lot to say and a lot of things to do that he hadn't had a chance to use to provoke her. How could he just waste all the preparations he had put in over the past few days?
Empress Dowager Qin immediately screamed, "No need to come! Get out! Get out of my sight, and preferably get out of this country tonight!"
Everyone stared at her in astonishment.
"...This, this isn't appropriate..." the concubines said with an awkward laugh.
Empress Dowager Qin realized her loss of composure, took a few deep breaths, and tried her best to calm herself down.
"What I mean is, you don't need to come tomorrow."
Although she wanted to set rules for these people, she never wanted to see Lin Shiming's unlucky face again.
Between two evils, she chose the lesser and preferred to spare these people for now. Besides, it was just a matter of preventing them from coming together for the morning and evening greetings; it wasn't that she couldn't summon people herself!
"I need to worship Buddha and don't have time to see you every day. From now on, I will come for breakfast on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month."
Lin Shih-ming is a great pity.
He braced himself against Lu Yuxi's warning gaze and tentatively asked, "Then shall I come to pay my respects to you alone tomorrow?"
"Everyone get out!"
Empress Dowager Qin angrily rebuked them, and without waiting for them to take their leave, she immediately had a palace maid help her into the inner room.
Lin Shiming, who was behind him, was still jumping around, asking, "So, you've agreed?"
"I will not see anyone!!"
Lin Shiming curled his lip. "Tsk. What a pity."
He glanced disapprovingly at the shocked crowd who hadn't yet recovered, his gaze finally settling on the dried fruit beside him.
"Yuanye, collect all these dried fruits. Don't leave them here for people who can't afford them to steal."
"boom--"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and the cries of pain from several palace maids came from inside.
It sounded like someone had fallen, and the palace maids had cushioned their fall.
Lu Yuxi took a deep breath and turned to look at Lin Shiming, whose face was full of innocence. This guy is really something else! How did Lin Shihe manage to only break four or five rulers?
For the first time, Lu Yuxi truly admired someone's magnanimity and emotional stability.
The Prince Ping on the left felt a pang of anxiety and immediately stood up, tentatively calling out, "What happened?"
There was a rustling sound from inside, and a moment later a young palace maid emerged looking flustered. "Your Highness, we accidentally broke something. It's nothing serious."
It seems the Empress Dowager is unwilling to speak.
Bai Qiongzhu slowly rose from his seat. "In that case, you may all leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the main hall hurriedly bowed and quickly withdrew.
Seeing this, Prince Ping had no choice but to grit his teeth, bow to Lin Shiming and the others, and then strode away.
Knowing he was doomed, Lin Shiming looked up at Lu Yuxi with a fawning smile, his obsequious manner rivaling that of Li An.
Bai Qiongzhu chuckled at his guilty look and slowly walked over. "Let's go outside first." This isn't the place to talk.
*
The three of them walked out of the gate of Shou'an Palace at a leisurely pace before they could talk freely.
Lin Shiming approached Bai Qiongzhu and pleaded like a child, "Mother, why don't I go to Fengyi Palace to have dinner with you today?" He also planned to stay overnight in the side hall so he could escape with his life.
But the upright Crown Prince saw through his "trick".
Lu Yuxi reached out and grabbed Lin Shiming by the back of the neck, lifting him back to her side like a big dog carrying a small dog.
No wonder Lin Shihe likes this gesture; it really is a good way to control people.
"Mother, don't listen to his nonsense. We will return to the East Palace ourselves today."
I tried to stop him three times today but couldn't. If I don't teach him a lesson soon, he'll become incredibly arrogant.
Lin Shiming cast a pitiful, pleading look at Bai Qiongzhu, whose tearful appearance immediately softened Bai Qiongzhu's heart, overflowing with maternal love. "Let's let it go for today. Go to Fengyi Palace for dinner with Mother. Mother will speak to him on your behalf!"
Lu Yuxi remained unmoved and directly escorted the person to sit on the imperial carriage.
"It's not like my elder brother from the Lin family hasn't spoken to him about it, and he's been doing it for years. But if it had any effect, would things be like this today?"
"...Try again!"
Lin Shih-ming: Yes, yes, yes, give the child another chance!
"No!" His Highness the Crown Prince was stern and ruthless. "No one can save him today."
Bai Qiongzhu sighed and cast a helpless and resigned look at Lin Shiming.
Lin Shiming was even more desperate.
*
The Eastern Palace was unusually quiet today.
Everyone was ordered not to approach the main hall. Even Lu Tingsong was taken back to his side hall to do his homework after having dinner with Lin Shiming and Lu Yuxi.
Inside the main hall, there was only Lu Yuxi, the "cruel executioner," and Lin Shiming, the "prisoner to be executed."
"Ah...ah!" Lin Shiming sobbed as he lay on the bed, too embarrassed to cry out loud in pain.
He struggled to squeeze out two physiological tears, "I've already cried, please have mercy on me, look at my tears!"
The beatings this man gave weren't even half the weight of Lin Shihe's ruler, but the cumulative effect made them increasingly unbearable and agonizing, not to mention the added shame. Lin Shiming truly couldn't take it anymore.
However, Lu Yuxi was determined to teach him a lesson and did not want to let this unruly brat off easily.
He chuckled softly, but his hands didn't stop. "I meant a good cry, a full-blown, tearful cry. What sincerity do you have with those two tears that you can even shed while yawning?"
Lin Shiming: "... ..."
These two tears were squeezed out after I had exhausted all my sorrows and squeezed them out for a long time. How can they be considered insincere?
General Lin, whose head may be severed and whose blood may flow, has never cried in his two lives except when he was a toddler! Let alone this so-called "big cry," he probably will never be able to cry in his entire life!
Lu Yuxi was deliberately making things difficult for him under some pretext in order to satisfy his perverted psychology and desires!
I'll expose his true colors sooner or later!
Lin Shiming said haltingly, "Then you're going to... ah, beat me to death... ah, it hurts!"
Lu Yuxi feigned surprise, "Why do you say that?"
"Waaaaah, I can't cry... Ah!"
“It’s okay, we have plenty of time tonight.” Lu Yuxi said slowly. “Trust your body’s instincts. When you really can’t take it anymore, you’ll cry.”
I'm $￥*^·&*!
Waaaaah, someone please save me!
