Ming Lanruo's soft and slender palm pressed against his lips, Shangguan Hongye was stunned, and his red phoenix eyes gradually deepened.
"You..." He held her delicate hand with his backhand.
"What on earth do you want to do!" Ming Lanruo felt as if she was being roasted on a fire, and she irritably tried to pull her hand away from Shangguan Hongye's palm.
The cabinet door behind her was obviously being pushed outward, and she held on to it with all her strength.
No, we can't let him out!
In the dark cabinet, Cang Qiao had a gloomy and violent aura, staring at the cabinet door that couldn't be pushed open - he condescended to enter this cabinet because he didn't want her to be in trouble.
But she was entangled with that adulterer Guan Hongye on the tip of his nose?!
He pressed his Xiubai palm on the door. With this palm, the cabinet could be split open. When he got out, he could severely humiliate Shangguan Hongye and even kill the adulterer!
Cang Qiao narrowed his cold eyes and looked at the slender and stiff back in the gap in the closet. He finally tightened his fist and did not make a move.
Outside the cabinet door, Shangguan Hongye looked at Ming Lanruo and asked in a deep voice: "Am I ugly? Even if you and I are just in a cooperative relationship now, do we need to avoid me like a snake and a scorpion? Don't think I don't know. Ask your father for it."
The concubine’s residence is to avoid this king!”
Ming Lanruo looked at the man in front of her.
Shangguan Hongye was the son of the former Zhou Guifei and the current Zhou Jihou. Zhou Guifei was famous for her beauty, and he inherited her successor's beauty.
A pair of passionate red phoenix eyes, flying eyebrows like temples, a nose like hanging gallbladder, handsome and valiant, thin lips sharp and delicate, with a sense of sharpness like a blade——
His lips are the only thing that resembles his cousin Cang Qiao.
At that time, he was eighteen years old. He had a white horse, a silver helmet, a red tassel and a silver spear. He was riding a sweaty and bloody BMW and led thousands of troops into the city.
The heroic spirit of a young general who would never repay Loulan, with a bright smile, made many daughters bend their backs.
She was only thirteen years old, and she was in the age of Huaichun. Naturally, she could not stop such a young general from sinking.
But they forgot that the young man was not only a general on the battlefield, but also an ambitious prince. Naturally, he had no thoughts and true feelings for women.
"Of course, Your Highness, you are not ugly. You are also very aware of your charm. On the way to the throne, you have not hesitated to use your appearance and grace to win allies, such as Zhou Changle, or to defraud and obtain tools for your use——
like me."
Ming Lanruo pressed down on the cabinet door, finally withdrew her hand and calmed down.
"You reminded me again and again of the mistakes I made on you and wrote you those letters. Do you want to prove how stupid and blind I was in the past for liking a man who would only take advantage of me?"
Shangguan Hongye was speechless: "This king...that's not what I meant."
He just couldn't bear the way she was avoiding him like a snake or a scorpion now, and he couldn't bear the way she was impatient with him and even had hatred in her eyes.
Ming Lanruo raised her eyes and looked at him coldly and quietly: "Very good, then don't mention the past things again, otherwise don't blame me for falling out. Now, back to the topic, if you want me to spare Lord Dehui's life, you want to take
What to exchange for?”
Shangguan Hongye looked at her deeply, and suddenly understood clearly for the first time that she was no longer the little girl chasing behind him.
In the capital city, after he grew up, there were too many little girls like her who chased after him since they were little.
He has always despised their ignorance and coquettishness. What they like about him is just appearance, power and wealth.
Ming Lanruo is just one of them.
But now she had long stopped chasing him, turned around and walked towards another road indifferently, like a sharpened sword.
She even slept with another man and had a child from nowhere. According to the standards of a lady in the capital, she should be the least worthy of attention and the kind of woman not suitable to be placed in a house.
But he suddenly couldn't bear to let her be just a companion or a handy weapon.
Man, you are so fucking cheap.
However, now that she is cold and rational, she is more charming than those shallow little girls, and she is naturally worthy of his cheating...
Shangguan Hongye narrowed his slender red phoenix eyes and chuckled lowly: "Okay, I will never mention it again from now on."
He released his arms that restrained her and smiled: "Since we are negotiating a deal, I will not take advantage of you."
He took a letter from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Let's take a look."
Ming Lanruo looked at the letter and saw that it had Dongchang's fire seal mark on it. She glanced at the cabinet calmly and opened it to read.
Upon looking at it, she squeezed the letter tightly and suddenly said in a voiceless voice: "My father is missing?!"
Shangguan Hongye held her trembling arm and asked her to sit down, frowning slightly: "Ming Guogong only went to a certain county to provide disaster relief, and no one has seen him again. It may be that the information is not smooth. After all, there is no one in Northeast Xinjiang."
There was a great disaster.”
Ming Lanruo closed her eyes and gritted her teeth and said: "The news you gave me is not enough to exchange for me to spare Dehui's life. Don't forget, you promised me that you would send people to Northeast Xinjiang to save my father. You
Where are the troops?!"
Shangguan Hongye admired her for staying calm under such circumstances and for having the courage and determination to bargain with him.
He said in a deep voice: "The elite members of Prince Qin's Palace have also disappeared."
Ming Lanruo looked at him in disbelief: "What?!"
She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and sneered: "So, the mission of protecting my father failed, and now you want me to let Lady Deokhye go. Nothing in this world is that cheap!"
Shangguan Hongye looked at her, his eyes slightly cold: "I will send people to search, I will leave my words here, and the Duke of Ming will be rescued safe and sound. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible.
The king never breaks his promise!"
Ming Lanruo looked at him coldly: "Go back, Your Highness King Qin. I will consider this matter carefully and give you an answer within three days."
Shangguan Hongye was silent for a moment and stepped away: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
Ming Lanruo looked at his leaving figure and added lightly: "Since we are partners, I hope His Highness King Qin will not break into my mansion casually again. I hate others invading my territory casually."
Shangguan Hongye narrowed his eyes and said, "You and I are still husband and wife. There is no way I won't come, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to your father. But I promise you, I will let people know before I come."
Ming Lanruo knew that what he said was right. Compared with the hypocrite like Prince Shangguan Zhou, a true villain like Shangguan Hongye was indeed more reliable.
"Okay." She said expressionlessly.
The decency and drama of fake couples are still needed.
Shangguan Hongye turned around and looked at the horizon, his lips curved in a cold and domineering arc.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't like him anymore. Since she no longer misses her old relationship, let's put it another way. She is still his wife. As long as he doesn't let go, she can't run away.
There is a saying in the art of war that you can conquer the enemy without fighting. He had the patience to let her charming "sword" and the throne fall into the palm of his hand.
Shangguan Hongye closed the door.
Ming Lanruo turned around again, and saw a slender figure standing coldly by the table, putting on official uniform and buckling his belt with his long fingers.
"Why, did you tell that adulterer Shangguan Hongye that you were addicted?"
Ming Lanruo sat down expressionlessly and poured tea: "In terms of his status, you are the adulterer. What are you doing to make fun of someone?"
Cang Qiao narrowed her eyes dangerously and raised her chin: "Are you angry?"
Is he the adulterer?
She's getting bolder, and he's not angry yet, but she dares to show off!
Ming Lanruo slapped the letter in her hand on the table and said coldly: "Why didn't you tell me that something happened to my father?"
The letter is from Dongchang Fire Paint. Don't tell her, he doesn't know!
