Chapter 655, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

The more Yinzhen thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, as if something was not quite right.

To be honest, he and Ma'ertai Ruoxi didn't have much interaction on a daily basis, let alone any friendship.

But lately, for some reason, she suddenly fixed her gaze firmly on him, which made Yinzhen suspicious. Could it be...?

"Ma'ertai Ruoxi has taken a liking to me, hasn't she?" The thought sent a chill down Yinzhen's spine. He didn't want this kind of woman. He had Ajiu, and that was enough. Demons and monsters, get out of here!

Hearing this, Lin Jiu, who was standing to the side, was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

My God, this guy is just... outrageous! He's thinking way too far.

"Don't worry, they wouldn't even look at you!" Lin Jiu shook her head speechlessly, while raising her hand to gently rub her forehead, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.

Then, feigning composure, he spoke, attempting to calm Yinzhen down a bit.

This attempt at comfort was worse than saying nothing at all. Yinzhen was instantly heartbroken. He stared at Lin Jiu with an incredibly resentful look, as if asking her why she had said such hurtful words.

Lin Jiu touched her nose. What she said was true. Other female leads would only pay attention to key figures in the struggle for the throne, such as the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince. Princes like Yinzhen, who basically had no hope, would not be noticed by Ruoxi.

This unusual behavior is probably because the news about the smallpox outbreak spread, leading people to believe that Yinzhen was a time traveler.

Lin Jiu gently touched her nose, thinking to herself, "What she said is absolutely true! Generally speaking, those female protagonists who transmigrate through the Qing Dynasty usually only focus their attention on key figures like the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince, who have the potential to compete for the throne. As for princes like Yinzhen, who have almost no chance of winning, they probably wouldn't even catch Ruoxi's eye."

However, the situation this time is so unusual, probably because the news of the smallpox outbreak spread, leading Ruoxi to mistakenly believe that Yinzhen was also a time traveler.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but feel speechless.

-

What goes around comes around. She had just been mocking Yinzhen, but now it was her turn to be affected.

At this moment, facing Ruoxi, who was holding a cup of tea and staring at him with a curious expression, Lin Jiu felt utterly helpless.

"Miss Ruoxi, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Lin Jiu asked helplessly. Please, elder sister, we are under the Kangxi Emperor's nose after all. Can you be any more obvious?

Yinzhen stared intently at Ruoxi before him, his gaze sharp and filled with hostility and gloom, as if he wanted to see right through her.

What's wrong with this woman? Not only has she taken a liking to him, but now she's even eyeing his wife? She's bisexual! This is outrageous!

Fortunately, Lin Jiu's attention was focused on the person in front of her, otherwise she would definitely have seen the meaning in Yin Tang's eyes.

Ruoxi, step down! Emperor Kangxi, sitting on the dragon throne, frowned slightly, his already majestic expression now appearing even more cold and indifferent.

His voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an unquestionable aura that inspired awe.

Ruoxi then came to her senses, her face turning pale with fright. She immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness before leaving at Kangxi's signal.

Lin Jiu: ...The speed at which he knelt down and begged for mercy was a bit too swift.
