Chapter 157 You and I can only be superficial couples
His handsome face was gloomy, and he suppressed his anger and resentment: "Ming Lanruo, you are so brave! You are not afraid of killing the nine tribes!"
She actually said it so bluntly - she wanted him and the prince to die!
Ming Lanruo's beautiful eyes flashed slightly: "Why should your Highness be angry? Everyone will choose the path that is best for themselves. You forced me to marry you, didn't you also want to use me to bring down the prince?"
She once again took out a cup and put it in front of her, pouring tea slowly: "This marriage is just a pretense. What I want is for my family to be safe and to be alone. After overthrowing the prince, you, me and Li, you have the ability to take care of yourself."
Go grab the position of the Nine-Five Supreme."
She raised the cup to him: "You don't have to worry that I will deal with you or the Zhou family, or... form an alliance with the prince again. Isn't this good?"
Shangguan Hongye's eyes moved from the broken porcelain pieces on the floor to Ming Lanruo's beautiful face.
He suddenly asked coldly: "This marriage is a cover, that is, I can't touch you, and you and I are not husband and wife in private, but just partners?"
Ming Lanruo smiled: "That's right."
Shangguan Hongye raised his hand and slapped it on the table, then reached out and grabbed Ming Lanruo's wrist, full of anger——
"Ming Lanruo, I'm giving you face, right? It was you who chased me in the beginning, but now you have got what you wanted. Are you acting like this to retaliate against the king for using you back then or because you are jealous of Changle for taking the imperial concubine?
position?!"
How dare she make such a ridiculous request not to touch her!
Ming Lanruo raised her pretty face and gently curved her red lips: "Shangguan Hongye, you know that was before. I have already said that I was blind before I fell in love with you. It doesn't matter if you think it's revenge.
"
"You!" Shangguan Hongye looked at her cold and calm beautiful eyes, his face was unpredictable and his mood was depressed.
After a while, he suddenly let go of his hand, and calmness flashed across his handsome face: "Become a hegemon, and don't stick to trivial matters. If I want that position, I must use means. Everyone has their own value. In the past, I was the one who looked down on him.
I'm sorry for killing you."
This was the first time he explained to a woman that in the education he had received since childhood, women were only divided into two categories: useful and useless.
Useful ones can be used as alliance partners, or to warm the bed, or to extend the heirs, and stabilize the back house.
There is another kind of usefulness that brings trouble, but when used well, it is a good dagger. Ming Lanruo was jealous and reckless before, but he was from a good background and was in the same path as Zhou Changle. His mother-in-law had already chosen it for him.
Zhou Changle was able to consolidate military power.
Ming Lanruo is naturally more suitable to be the dagger placed beside the enemy, so he hopes that she can marry the prince and be used by him to stab the prince in the back.
But now, he found that she was more suitable to be a partner and a sharp sword beside him.
Therefore, his patient explanation for the first time can be regarded as an explanation for her and respect.
Ming Lanruo looked at him blankly. She didn't know why, but she had no feelings for Shangguan Hongye for a long time. Her heart, which was only filled with coldness and hatred, suddenly became very uncomfortable because of that "sorry".
She raised her hand and gently touched her heart——
My mind was completely blurred.
Shangguan Hongye saw that her expression was wrong, her delicate little face gradually turned pale, and her figure was shaky.
He frowned, raised his hand to support her when she was about to fall, and held her in his arms: "What's wrong with you?"
Ming Lanruo was completely speechless, a thin line of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she was trembling slightly in his arms, unable to move.
She didn't know what was wrong with herself.
It's as if the soul is about to be pulled out.
Shangguan Hongye panicked and was about to call someone: "Come here..."
But the next moment, Ming Lanruo suddenly squeezed his arm tightly and let out a long breath: "I...it's okay."
The dark dust accumulated in her heart seemed to disappear with the pain, and slowly dissipated, and her whole body became clear and clear.
At that moment, she suddenly understood that those pains may have been too painful before she died in her previous life, leaving behind her unwillingness and nostalgia for Shangguan Hongye.
After Shangguan Hongye finally admitted his use and scheming, he even finally looked at her and apologized.
It has completely dissipated. She no longer has to dream back in the middle of the night and wonder if she is dreaming because of her past mistakes. From now on, she can travel lightly——
She did something wrong back then and chose the wrong path. She had to finish the journey on her knees. She deserved the price she paid in her previous life.
If it were her who now holds power and wants to break the sky, she would probably take advantage of other people's lives. In this kind of imperial power struggle, it is impossible not to get blood on her hands.
However, she will clearly state the price and let the other party choose whether to do it or not.
He would not take advantage of a woman's affection for him like Shangguan Hongye.
But... who made her despise herself? She only has eyes for men. She despises herself, so no wonder others despise her even more.
Ming Lanruo sat up straight, feeling clear in her heart.
Her bright eyes slightly curved, and she put the cup into his hand: "Since Your Highness can tell me this, it means that your mind is clear, and you should know that it is best to form a private alliance with me as a nominal husband and wife.
s Choice."
Her body was still weak and she didn't have the strength to leave his arms for the time being.
Shangguan Hongye looked down at the girl in his arms. Her body was filled with soft fragrance, but he only felt heavy in his heart——
He knew what she said was right. She was definitely not one of those women who could be looked down upon casually. She didn't want to be husband and wife with him.
He looked at the cup in his hand - if he drank this cup of tea, he would agree to her proposal!
This is what she meant when she dropped the cup and put a new teacup in front of him - if he didn't agree, she would try her best to make him break like a cup instead of destroying it!
These days, she has been dealing with the prince and him, proving every moment that she has the ability to do this!
But he knew that he should agree to her proposal. He would not lose anything in this exchange of interests, it was just a woman's body.
But...he suddenly felt...reluctant to part with it.
Shangguan Hongye's expression was gloomy and complicated. Before he could give his answer, the door was suddenly kicked open with an arrogant "bang" sound.
A figure flew in, snatched Ming Lanruo from his arms neatly, and held her back two feet away.
Shangguan Hongye glared at the beautiful baby-faced little eunuch in front of him: "Where is this dog slave from? How dare you be so rude!"
Xiao Yanzi also had a gloomy face and held Ming Lanruo in her arms: "This slave was placed by Master Chitose by my side. Master Chitose said that you can't force Concubine Ming to do anything she doesn't want to do!"
Ming Lanruo was forcibly held in the arms of the young eunuch and was unable to move. She was speechless. She wanted to say something but endured it.
"You!" Shangguan Hongye's face suddenly looked like a storm was about to come, and the whole building was full of wind.
He couldn't help but wonder, if Ming Lanruo pressed forward so arrogantly, she was relying on her nine thousand years of age!
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and Shangguan Hongye's bodyguard ushered in a woman and a maid with helpless expressions.
"My lord...please go back and see the princess. The princess suddenly has severe abdominal pain."
The woman looked like she had status at first glance. She was wearing brocade robes. She was Zhou Changle's dowry lady.
She didn't even look at Ming Lanruo when she walked in. She just cried and knelt down towards Shangguan Hongye.
Shangguan Hongye is not a fool. When he was a child, he had seen too many scenes of competing for favor among concubines in the palace.
He couldn't help but turn to look at Ming Lanruo, trying to see something strange on her face, such as jealousy.
But Ming Lanruo just looked at him and asked calmly: "Do you want the prince to drink that cup of tea? If you don't, the tea will get cold."
It was an implicit warning, but it meant that if he didn't drink this cup of tea, she would turn against him.
The veins on the back of Shangguan Hongye's hand that was holding the teacup were clearly visible. He finally drank the cup of tea in one gulp, and then smashed the teacup angrily with a "bang" sound.
He said coldly: "Ming Lanruo, one day you will beg me!"
He still didn't believe that she could let go of her years of love so casually!
It was simply because he had taken advantage of her that she later lost her virginity to someone unknown, was ruined, was expelled from her family, was married to someone else, and was imprisoned.
That's why she is unwilling and resentful. He understands and is willing to be a fake couple first, even to compensate her and give her a chance to think clearly!
After that, he turned around and walked away!
The woman led the maid, arrogantly snorted at Ming Lanruo, turned and left.
What a concubine, what a common wife, the prince has returned to the princess!
Ming Lanruo almost laughed out loud, she just felt that this stupid girl Zhou Changle had done something right for once - it was wonderful.
Finally forced Shangguan Hongye away!
…
Seeing everyone leave, Xiao Yanzi put Ming Lanruo on the bed, walked over and closed the door, then turned back to Ming Lanruo.
He had a cold, beautiful baby face: "Why is the little empress in the arms of King Qin? Have you forgotten what you promised the governor, are you deceiving the governor's feelings!"
Ming Lanruo looked at the 'little eunuch' whose boss was unhappy, her teeth itched: "..."
Haha, deceiving someone’s feelings seems like a petty grievance. Some people are obviously full of resentment, but they still insist on making themselves uncomfortable!
Ming Lanruo's dark and bright eyes rolled, and her figure suddenly softened: "That's because I suddenly felt a pain in my heart just now."
Xiao Yanzi looked at Ming Lanruo's still a little pale face, and a trace of worry flashed in her gloomy eyes: "Where does it hurt..."
He heard them talking in the room and knew that she was feeling a little uncomfortable just now.
But the next moment, he forcefully took back the hand that almost touched her heart, and said with a pretty face, "Let's call the doctor for the princess."
"What do you call doctor? I am a doctor myself. Come and massage the acupoints for me." Ming Lanruo leaned on the bed and ordered lazily and impolitely.
Homura endured it and had to sit down obediently.
Ming Lanruo looked at his unwillingness and suddenly stretched out a small white foot and placed it on his thigh: "Here, press your feet.
Homura froze and almost wanted to get up and grab her and ask why she could be so casual!
