Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

After Xia Bai'an said these words, he probably understood the reason why he was targeted today.

Perhaps in the beginning, the queen mother gave herself this suit to remind King An of the past, reminding him that if he didn't restrain his edge, he would be targeted by the emperor.

And it can be regarded as telling An Wang in a disguised form that this rabbit will not harm him.

After all, in King An's eyes, the dead rabbit represented his disguise, his protective shell.

On the other hand, it also reassures the emperor.

The Queen Mother personally rewarded the dress and let her appear in front of everyone.In the eyes of the emperor, deliberately letting the rabbit who should have died appear in front of King An is a deterrent.

It is also telling the emperor that the queen mother is still on the emperor's side.

So the emperor and Li Chen each had different reactions at the banquet, and those old officials also turned black when they saw their own body.

The emperor asked himself to stand beside King An, intending to intimidate him.

but……

"But I don't understand, since the empress dowager reminded you of the lesson of the rabbit, why did you stand up and speak for me today?" Xia Bai'an asked.

On the contrary, Li Chen looked at her meaningfully: "Maybe it's because of regret. Back then, I was young and couldn't protect the rabbit well. Today, I was impulsive, and I didn't want you to die without knowing why."

"Then I should really thank you, my lord."

"Instead of thanking you verbally, why doesn't Imperial Physician Xia think of other ways to thank you?" Li Chen laughed.

Xia Bai'an asked: "Is there any other way?"

Li Chen narrowed his eyes: "Where is the Mingjun? Where is the good tree? The doctor Xia suddenly turned cold at the banquet, didn't he hate those powerful people who can play with human lives... What if they are not here?"

Xia Bai'an's heart skipped a beat.

Good guy, she thought that King An should know how to keep his own place, but now listen to him, his rhetoric is clearly trying to replace those people above him!

But she herself is just a little imperial doctor, and she just wants to keep her foothold in this world, and she has no intention of taking care of such big things for the time being...

Anyway, I have to wait for Mo Yu and Mo Xue to grow up, and then think about these issues by myself.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai'an looked into Li Chen's eyes sincerely: "I didn't understand what you meant, my lord, but it's getting late, I should go back to sleep."

"..."

Li Chen was dumbfounded for a moment.

It seems that I can't keep up with Xia Bai'an's words.

And Xia Bai'an was ready to get up and leave, and stay away from these things for the time being.

But Li Chen said again: "You owe me a favor."

Xia Bai'an turned around and said, "I still know this. If the prince hadn't acted for me in what happened today, I don't know when I will be able to prove my innocence."

"What I said just now, keeps counting."

"..."

Xia Bai'an sweated profusely.

You are cheating me!

You want to seek power and usurp the throne yourself, so ambitious, don't take me with you!

She was thinking of continuing to pretend to be stupid and leave, but she saw a figure walking on the gravel road not far away.

"His Royal Highness Ann."

Yun Xue saluted Li Chen politely.

Xia Bai'an stood where she was, not understanding what she was doing here.

Li Chen waved his hand slightly, and he didn't intend to continue talking with Xia Bai'an, he just said: "I don't know if Miss Yun from the prime minister's mansion doesn't go back to rest in the palace, but come to see me, what do you mean?"

Yun Xue smiled slightly: "My lord should have known today that Imperial Physician Xia is now my father's adoptive daughter, and my father was worried about her being away, so he specially asked me to come and look for her... But I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Wang An admired Imperial Physician Xia so much, She is even willing to stand up for Doctor Xia."

These words are somewhat ambiguous.

Xia Bai'an laughed, "It seems that the banquet is over, and Miss Yun still hasn't been able to see the situation clearly."

"..."

Yun Xue choked.

situation?

She didn't see the situation between Xia Bai'an and Li Chen at all.

She thought Xia Bai'an was pretending to be sophisticated, so she curled her lips and sneered, "Don't pretend to be sophisticated here. You just sent off your husband, and you came here to meet His Royal Highness King An at night. I'm afraid you have other thoughts."

Xia Bai'an was speechless, it was clearly Li Chen who called her here!

She's just so innocent.

But you can't say that in front of King An...

On the contrary, Li Chen's eyes changed: "This king asked her to come here."

Yun Xue was only surprised for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My lord, don't be fooled by Imperial Physician Xia, she is already a married woman, and she has three children under her knees."

"Miss Yun's words are a little too harsh, have you already insisted that I am going to cling to the prince?" Xia Bai'an interrupted her, and continued, "I think Miss Yun has a dirty mind. It's generally dirty."

"Presumptuous! This lady is the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, do I still need to cling to the prince!"

Yun Xue replied subconsciously.

This sentence made both Li Chen and Kang Heng turn cold.

It sounds like the prime minister is more powerful than the prince.

By the time Yun Xue reacted, she couldn't take back those words.

And Xia Bai'an chuckled softly: "Miss Yun, don't talk nonsense here, if your words just now are heard by the emperor, I'm afraid you will cause great trouble to your adoptive father."

After speaking, Xia Bai'an left straight away.

Yunxue gritted her teeth secretly, feeling upset.

Li Chen stood up leisurely: "Go back."

"My lord!" Yun Xue hurriedly stopped him, "Isn't my lord really in love with that married woman?"

"Miss Yun, don't talk nonsense! How can our prince be happy with a married woman." Kang Heng finally couldn't help it, and explained.

Yunxue looked coldly: "Whether you like it or not is not a matter of lip service. I came here this time just to say a few words to His Highness Wang An."

Kang Heng was impatient.

But Li Chen stayed where he was, as if he wanted to listen to her before leaving.

Only then did Yun Xue speak: "Xia Bai'an's humble background doesn't need His Royal Highness An's protection. If His Royal Highness An really wants to return safely, he should see clearly where he can settle down."

After finishing speaking, Yun Xue also bowed and left.

And Li Chen and Kang Heng stood in place. After a long time, Kang Heng let out a soft snort and crossed his arms.

"Miss, I'm afraid I didn't see anything clearly."

At the banquet just now, if the Empress Dowager hadn't sent Nurse Mingxin to come, Xia Bai'an's life would not have been spared just because of Yun Hanyi's face, which shows how much the Emperor disliked the Prime Minister.

However, Yun Xue thought that these words could make her prince fall to the prime minister's mansion, and abandon Xia Bai'an, a smart person, which is really ridiculous.

After Li Chen listened, he asked: "Why does she think that the king is more pleased with Xia Bai'an?"

Kang Heng's eyes widened—is that the problem?

Li Chen took Kang Heng back to the bedroom where he was temporarily staying. He walked to the table and saw the white cloak on the soft couch, which reminded her of the scene on the boat in the casino, and her heart slowed down.

Why, always think of her?

He clenched his fists and asked Kang Heng again: "What do you think of Xia Bai'an?"
