"Sir, Miss Qianlan is back. I have something to ask you, sir." Xiao Jiuer went to the outer courtyard and said to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi was thinking about something in the room, and suddenly Qianlan came back, and he suddenly became excited.

He quickly entered the inner courtyard.

The boys at the second door of the Wangfu Villa were slightly surprised.

Miss Qianlan is the prince's predecessor, they know this.

But the prince was not in the palace, so why did Lord Ning not avoid suspicion and went straight to the inner courtyard?

There was a thin and clever boy who whispered in a low voice: "Why does Miss Qianlan always look for Master Ning?"

"Shh!" the other one immediately said nervously.

The skinny boy didn't understand what he meant and looked at his companion.

Another servant whispered: "...I heard from people outside that it was like this when I was in Luzhou. The prince is ignorant. Lord Ning helps make the decisions for many things in the palace. This is the order of the emperor and the queen mother.

.Miss Qianlan is in front of the prince. Sometimes when the prince has something to do, he will ask Miss Qianlan to give orders to Master Ning. If the servant dares to slander Miss Qianlan and humiliate the prince, Master Ning will cut out someone's tongue!"

"People outside" does not refer to people outside the palace, but to a few coachmen from Luzhou who live in the outer courtyard.

Those coachmen were not Lord Ning's subordinates. They often drank with the boys from the annex, and sometimes they would murmur in private.

The skinny boy quickly covered his mouth.

He was very scared and did not dare to say anything.

But I am still thinking in my heart: It is inappropriate to say that Miss Qianlan and Master Ning are not right, how come the prince is being humiliated?

Since he is afraid that the prince will be humiliated, why does Mr. Ning always go to the inner courtyard?

It was obviously his own behavior that caused the prince to be humiliated. Why didn't anyone tell him?

It's as if saying it is slander, which is really strange.

This is quite unjustifiable.

But the guards in the mansion are under the control of Mr. Ning, and the general manager and the others are at the disposal of Mr. Ning. Like the servants, they naturally keep their mouths shut and dare not say a word.

The skinny boy couldn't help but think: It would be better to stay in this villa. Although there is no business on weekdays, there is no need to be so worried.

About two quarters of an hour later, Ning Xi came out of the inner courtyard with an angry look on his face.

The two young men at the second door stood aside with their heads bowed and respectfully, not daring to say a word.

It usually takes half an hour or an hour to get in. Why did you get out so fast today?

At night, the maids heard Qianlan crying loudly.

——*——*——

It snowed heavily overnight again.

The snow was flying rapidly, and wisps of it were falling one after another. A rosemary burner was lit in the back room, and green smoke curled up and penetrated the brocade quilt.

Qian Lan stayed up all night, tossing and turning.

Ning Xi's words rang in his ears: "...but I want you to go and see if the prince is healthy so that I can feel at ease. Why did you say that Master Ning is also loyal? Did I let you express your loyalty for me?"

Then he threw up his sleeves and walked away.

For the first time in so many years, Ning Xi had a bad attitude towards Qian Lan.

Hot tears hit her face and fell on the pillow mat.

Ning Xi couldn't sleep either.

What happened last night was too strange.

He didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

He lost a capable subordinate. What he got in exchange was confusion.

He didn't know what happened to the prince. He couldn't see him.

On the opposite side, Gu Zhai seemed to have few guards, but he was quite capable.

Li Mu was good at martial arts, but he was hit instantly. He was stabbed in the throat and couldn't even utter a word of warning. Ning Xi had no idea what was happening on the other side.

Not knowing is scary.

But the other party probably didn't know it was Li Mu at this moment, and he didn't chase after him.

Now, Ning Xi has nothing to do with the Gu family.

If he takes action again, he may fall into the opponent's trap.

The King of Luyang is just a fool. Now he is being manipulated by the Gu family, and Ning Xi has nothing to do.

Don't panic. The more you panic, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

The Gu family should be quiet, and Ning Xi should be calmer. If you don't have the ability, you should put away your desire to compete for glory and boast.

Ning Xi couldn't sleep at all. All night long, Ning Xi couldn't sleep at all.

The next day, there was thick snow outside.

However, the Gu family sent someone and asked Tao Ren to come over and talk.

Ning Xi's heart skipped a beat again.

It was as if there was a wild beast right behind him, hiding in the darkness, roaring from time to time. Ning Xi didn't know when the wild beast would pounce, and his heart couldn't calm down.

The other party wanted him to mess up his mind and reveal his flaws!

Ning Xi clenched his fists tightly and acted as if nothing was wrong.

He snorted in his heart: "Let's see who can survive it!"

Tao Ren went to the Gu family to reply.

Half a day later, Tao Ren came back.

Ning Xi asked him: "What is the purpose of the prince's summons?"

"Your Majesty said that he has been bored recently and wanted to find Miss Qianlan to play with." Tao Ren smiled broadly, "Your Majesty remembered Miss Qianlan again. I will arrange for Miss Qianlan to pack up and go over there early tomorrow morning..."

Ning Xi felt nervous again.

Why are the actions there always beyond his expectation?

This time, it was even harder for him to calm down.

Ning Xi knows best what kind of person Qian Lan is.

Without Ning Xi to guide her, she would soon be exposed.

what to do?

If he takes action now, Ning Xi himself will be exposed; if he doesn't take action, Qianlan will expose him sooner or later!

He was in a dilemma.

Ning Xi's face changed again and again.

**The inner court of the prince, this is a capital crime.

Ning Xi really wanted to marry Qianlan and get the support of Qianlan's father. But now, he was at the end of his rope. He couldn't let Qianlan fall into the hands of the Gu family.

"Go." Ning Xi smiled lightly and said to Tao Ren.

Qianlan can't stay away from his sight.

As soon as she heard that she was going to the Gu family to serve the prince, Qianlan became anxious again and started to cry.

Xiao Jiuer was feeling sick at the side: Can you stop crying?

What do you mean by crying all the time?

Just because Qian Lan can cry, everyone loves her?

"It's better to take care of it quickly." Xiao Jiuer said, "You were originally serving the prince. If you don't go, I will be killed by you!"

"But I can't bear to leave you, sir!" Qian Lan cried loudly.

It was night. Ning Xi quietly entered Qianlan's yard.

——*——*——

The next day, Gu Jinzhi sent someone to pick up Qian Lan.

The boy who went there came back and said: "Miss Qianlan is ill. She had a fever last night."

Gu Jinzhi seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Then go and tell Mr. Tao to hire a doctor for Miss Qianlan." Gu Jinzhi said, "The prince is weak and it will not be good after the cold. Let her feel at ease there for the time being. We will wait for a while."

The boy said yes, turned around and went again.

Gu Jinzhi said to Zhu Zhongjun: "Ning Xi is testing us. If we insist on picking up Qianlan, he will know that we are suspicious, and he is afraid that Qianlan will not be able to get out of the house and will die. He

Now I don't dare to kill Qianlan rashly. Naturally, he has his scruples. If he has scruples, Qianlan will not die. Keep Qianlan, just to leave evidence, don't push too hard. Otherwise, the mad dog will bite people."
