Chapter 68: Treating Xiao Jinxing (6000 words)_3

This means.

The beating Xiao Jinxing received from the Empress Dowager was indeed related to her.

But then again.

If Xiao Jinxing hadn't asked her to take the blame, none of these subsequent events would have occurred.

"Princess." Xiaowu mustered up great courage and said, "This time, it's a blessing in disguise for you."

Ye Qichi narrowed her eyes.

"Although you suffered physical harm, you acquired at least temporary peace as the Princess," Xiaowu spoke loudly, "Please understand the Prince's struggle and good intentions."

Ye Qichi pursed her lips.

If it was really as Xiaowu mentioned, although Xiao Jinxing's immediate concern was his own benefit, he at least hadn't completely abandoned her.

Of course, the premise is that she doesn't greatly impact him; currently, being beaten by the Empress Dowager is still tolerable. Xiao Jinxing suffering under the Empress Dowager isn't happening for the first or second time; he should be accustomed to it.
