Chapter 49: Too Ashamed to Show My Face

  Not long after getting out of bed, Flowing Swan unexpectedly brought the maid to "friendly" visit her, said some inexplicable words such as wishing her a speedy recovery and giving birth to a noble child, then left with a sickly face that made Xiaotong feel sorry for her.

  Take a stroll through the garden!

  "Long live the Empress!"

  "Imperial Concubine!"

  “……”

  Everyone in the mansion is strange! It's as if winter had passed overnight, and the ice and snow had melted away! They suddenly realized with a clear conscience that they had been wrong to treat Xiaotong like that before, and now it was time to make amends!

  Everyone who saw her had a strange look in their eyes! The only thing that was uniform was the great respect they all showed her!

  People's attitudes changed overnight, leaving Xia Tong surprised and uneasy! Because even the people around her, including Cheng, looked at her with a strange gaze! As they walked, they would occasionally steal glances at her, looking like they wanted to say something but stopped themselves.

  "Hey! You little devil! What's going on with me, tell me quickly!" In this eerie atmosphere, Xia Tong couldn't hold back anymore, stopped in his tracks, and grabbed Mu Beichen, who was standing beside him, suddenly becoming silent, staring at him intensely.

  "Nothing... nothing at all!" Cheng suddenly blushed and looked away from her eyes!

  "Hey!" This inexplicable atmosphere was driving her crazy! She grabbed Mu Beichuan and hummed angrily, "If you really won't tell me! Then from now on, we're through! Don't come to the Northern King's Manor again, and don't call me sister anymore!" After saying that, Xia Tong pretended to be angry and turned to leave, paying attention to Mu Beichuan's movements behind her. I wonder if the most direct and effective trick among modern boys and girls would work on this ancient little devil?

  Mo Bei Cheng didn't follow up behind her to compromise with her, then tell her what's going on!

  Alas! The only one to blame is this child for being too mature, completely not buying into her act! Xia Tong couldn't help but feel a bit disheartened! What exactly happened that she didn't know about but was related to her?

  "Must I say it out loud?!" Mu Beichuan's low, slightly irritated voice came from behind her, his tone utterly astonished!

  Xia Tong was taken aback: What did she do to make him so hard to speak? Thinking, he turned around and walked back, staring at Mu Beichuan with a questioning gaze: "What did I do?"

  In an instant, Mu Beichuan's face turned bright red, like a ripe peach! He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "That... sister... you and the emperor are inseparable, day and night..."

  The faint voice behind him that Xia Tong didn't hear was enough! Her mind suddenly exploded, and she immediately understood what he meant by his stammering!

  Reversing morning and evening? Are you referring to this morning?

  Is it referring to her ambiguous relationship with Mu Bei Chen lying on the ground?

  Her face turned bright red, her cheeks burning like fire!

  "Ah, I'm so ashamed!" Xia Tong let out a strange cry, covering her face with her hands as if deceiving herself, then turned around and ran away quickly, leaving behind Mu Beichen who was smiling: "This woman is really not ordinary in being slow-witted!"

  Watching her jumping figure, he curved a smile at the corner of his mouth: As long as she's happy!

  Xiatong ran to the Luliu Pavilion in one breath, and under Qingli's astonished gaze, she rushed into the room, slammed the door shut with a "bang", then quickly jumped onto the bed, pulled over the quilt to cover herself entirely, and began to snore loudly.

  "Oh dear, I don't want to see anyone anymore! I'm too ashamed to face anyone!"

  "Oh no! I'm so embarrassed! I'm going to die from embarrassment! I don't want to go out anymore!"

  When Mu Beichen pushed open the door and entered, Xia Tong was still hiding under the covers, feeling anxious.

  "Summer Green, come out!" Mu Bei Chen looked at Xia Tong with a smile, who had completely wrapped himself around him.

  "I don't want to, I'm so embarrassed!"

  As soon as she thought that her innocent encounter with Mu Beichen in the early morning had been exaggerated and distorted into a romantic scandal, becoming the gossip of the ladies-in-waiting after dinner, Xia Tong felt extremely annoyed! Why can't this Qing Lian's mouth be tighter?! It only took an hour for it to spread like wildfire throughout the Northern King's Palace!

  Xiatong didn't know that in other people's eyes, she had transformed from an unloved and even despised princess of Lijing to a woman who was entwined with the prince, doting on him day and night, loving him without bounds!

  What charm is needed!
