Xiaoming asked Court Lady Hong to give them some privacy. When she left the chamber, Xiaoming turned to look at Liu Jin Yu. She had worn this heavy Hanfu dress, and her ears were red because of anger.
"You did good by slapping him," Xiaoming said.
"I controlled myself not to kill him," Liu Jin Yu said. "He was ready to attack me when I called him a leech," she stated.
"What?" Xiaoming started to laugh. "You are amazing," he said, and apologized to her. "You had to face this in my absence. I am sincerely sorry for this." He took a step towards her and adjusted the collars of the upper robe that she had worn.
"His gaze on Li Hua wasn't pleasant at all, Your Royal Highness. I wonder why she remained quiet even after hearing his remark. If I had been at her place, I would have beat Kang Huijuan for looking at me that way," Liu Jin Yu affirmed while looking into his eyes.
