Zhou Xi pursed her lips. She didn’t push Luo Ran, even if she wanted to. But now, no one would believe her. Zhou Xi looked at Lu Chen ‘s indifferent expression. She wanted to defend herself, but she could only feel as if her mouth was full of bitterness.
She really loved him.
So, regardless of her family and her father’s wishes, she went to the capital just to accompany him.
But now, for this mere maid, he ignored her face for this girl and when he saw the girl fall into the water, he decided it was her fault.
He did not even have a trace of trust in her.
Zhou Xi softened, knelt down and sat on the ground, her eyes getting a little wet, she smiled and asked Lu Chen, “If the Emperor doesn’t believe Xi’er, it is useless for Xi’er to say anything more. What does the Emperor want?”
Lu Chen saw the wetness in her eyes, but could only remember Luo Ran and the fact that she had just been afraid and despairing in her nightmares. Lu Chen’s eyes looked slightly cold: “It’s getting late, the lake should be cold.”
Zhou Xi realised what he meant and looked at him incredulously with frowning brows. Tears fell uncontrollably and she heard his cold voice.
“It must also be clean.”
Zhou Xi’s face was pale for a moment, and Lu Chen stared at the tears that she had been dropping, stained with dust on the ground. Her sleeves hung down feebly.
…Clean.
He was saying… She was dirty!
A trace of surprise flashed in Lu Yu’s eyes. Unexpectedly, his elder brother was really willing to give her up. Looking at the miserable appearance of Zhou Xi in front of him, Lu Yu cried in his heart. Although this beauty was poisonous, she was indeed very beautiful. Beauties always had privileges.
Lu Yu, who was most disgusted when a beauty wept, said, “Brother, the lake is cold tonight, and could even kill people.”
Zhou Xi heard what he said, but she didn’t feel grateful. Her beautiful eyes stared at him with tears. If it weren’t for what he had just said before, how could the Emperor distrust her for even a minute!
Lu Yu not only did not take her anger to heart but even laughed at her because he felt that her tearful appearance made her more attractive.
Zhou Xi sent a distasteful look behind her and stopped looking at him. Don’t look at him anymore, don’t open your eyes! She didn’t notice Lu Yu’s expression after looking at her eyes. The smile at the corners of his mouth suddenly became slightly cold. There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
Lu Chen turned his fingers, and a thought passed through his eyes. With a glance at Zhou Xi, he finally moved with a bit of compassion: “Then I revoke your name, think behind closed doors in Liuli palace for three months. ”
Having said that, Lu Chen looked away indifferently, he thought that she was still that kind-hearted girl from the past, but his expectations were too high.
Zhou Xi’s face turned pale for a moment. She was most proud of her bequeathed ‘Chen’ title. That special word meant that she was special in the Emperor’s heart. Now, the Emperor’s withdrawal of it meant that… She was nothing special.
Instead of looking at Zhou Xi, Lu Chen frowned at Lu Yu: “What were you doing in the palace today?”
Knowing that Lu Chen was upset, Lu Yu put on an innocent face: “Visiting the Dowager, didn’t Imperial Brother say that Empress Mother missed me and told me to come more often to see her? ”
