Chapter 686 It's just a joke
Si Ling sat down by the door farthest from Xiao Linye as before.
Thinking of Xiao Linye's threatening words just now, Si Ling couldn't help but wonder, where did she provoke this person?
She touched her nose and said, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?"
When Xiao Linye heard this, his sharp eyes moved to Si Ling. A dark and unclear emotion flashed through his dark eyes, but he looked away before Si Ling could see clearly.
"I would like to remind you to stay away from Pan Qirui."
Si Ling observed his words carefully and saw that Xiao Linye's mood seemed to be very calm, but who knew if there was murderous intent under his current calmness?
So Si Ling carefully chose the wrong wording and said, "Well, Your Majesty, although Prince Pan is a little casual and a little romantic, he is not bad at heart..."
A stab in the eye cut off her words. She wanted to say that Pan Qirui had helped her several times before and was a good person, but under the threat of Xiao Linye's eyes, she could not continue speaking no matter what.
At this moment, Xiao Linye had a fire burning in his heart.
The image of Pan Qirui pulling her just now appeared in his mind again, and even the scene where the two of them were talking happily before was clearly reappeared.
Xiao Linye didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably unhappy.
At this time, Si Ling lowered his eyes and saw Xiao Linye's hands on his knees clenched tightly. His skin was already pale, and now his joints were even more white.
Good guy, how much does Xiao Linye hate Pan Qirui?
Fortunately, Xiao Linye didn't get angry. Si Ling cleared his throat and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, has Prince Pan ever offended you before?"
Xiao Linye let out a cold snort from his nose, which was very disdainful and a little proud. The corners of his pale lips suddenly raised a slight arc. He did not answer, but glanced at Si Ling faintly.
Si Ling suddenly understood that the people who had offended Xiao Linye seemed to no longer exist.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck and couldn't help shrinking her neck. She was so lucky to be alive and well now!
Du Fang, who was watching the interaction between the two, was afraid that his prince would really get angry, so he couldn't help but say, "Master Si, Prince Pan's reputation is one of the best in the whole capital. There have even been unpleasant rumors, and the prince doesn't like it."
Those who behave badly, Sir Si, since you are working under the prince, you should try your best to stay away from Prince Pan."
This Si Chengze is really smart. When he is smart, he is really smart. When he is stupid, he is also annoyingly stupid.
I have long said that the prince has a mysophobia and naturally hates that kind of romantic thing.
Si Ling screamed in his heart that he was wronged and quickly explained, "My lord, don't get me wrong. You saw it just now. It was Pan Shizi who suddenly appeared and wanted to drag me to the dance music building. He even said they wanted to reserve the place, but I refused.
Yes! Although I also like beauties, I already have enough bed-warming maids in my house, so I will pay attention to my sense of propriety outside in the future."
The more she spoke, the more proud the expression on her face became, as if she was showing off.
But in Du Fang's view, this was a naked satire on his prince, and Du Fang couldn't help but sweat for her.
As for Xiao Linye, at this moment, all she could think about was the "bed-warming maid" that Si Ling had just mentioned, and the inexplicable fire in her heart started to burn again.
An undercurrent surged in his dark eyes. The next second, he suddenly thought of something and sneered.
Si Ling looked at the smile on his lips and felt horrified. She swallowed her saliva and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what are you... laughing at?"
If there's anything so funny, say it. Don't laugh so hard, it's scary!
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Linye's lips widened, and it seemed to be a bit self-deprecating, "Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Si to have such lofty ambitions. He was restored to his original position and promoted to the third rank in a row. He was not satisfied yet, and he showed great courtesy in front of his father.
"
Si Ling was stunned on the spot. She never expected that Xiao Linye would suddenly change the topic and accuse her of being attentive.
Just now, the emperor upheld justice for her, so she flattered him twice. One was to express her gratitude, and the other was that if she wanted to get along well in the court in the future and redress Si Chengze's injustice, she would naturally want to have a good relationship with the supreme ruler.
Furthermore, through what happened today, she saw clearly the faces of the ministers in the DPRK. Although many people came to fawn over her just now, if something like today happens again, those people will definitely stand by and watch like today, and will not take the risk to replace her.
She speaks.
However, Xiao Linye unexpectedly misunderstood and thought she wanted to hug the emperor's lap.
But she had only one purpose in doing all this, from beginning to end, and that was to seek justice for the original brother and sister.
She wished she could solve everything immediately, take the money, Xiao Su and Xiao Mu, stay away from the capital, and never come back!
Si Ling said solemnly, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. What I just said to Your Majesty was just to express my gratitude and had no other intention at all. Moreover, since Your Majesty spoke for me in a critical moment, I privately thought that
The prince believes in the character of Xiaguan. In your opinion, is Xiaguan the kind of person who flatters others for the sake of superiority?"
"Xiaoguan has always believed that getting to the top requires real talent. If you don't have strength and only have a mouth, you will fall down even if you get up."
"What's more, now everyone in the court knows that the prince's subordinates will never do despicable things even for the prince's face!"
These words were sonorous and forceful, and the words were righteous. Xiao Linye's tightly clenched hands loosened a lot, but there was one thing that he still cared about.
"I still say what I said, keep a distance from Prince Pan."
