Ming Lanruo had no time to pay attention to him, so she just pulled her father-in-law and walked a few steps closely, and whispered: "Father-in-law, don't let him know about Chitose, I can solve this matter..."
Her father-in-law looked at her with a complex and helpless look, letting her realize: "I can't hide it."
Miss Ming is my lifeblood, and now my old house is on fire, and I am out of control.
If Ming Lanruo and King Qin were to consummate their marriage on the spot, I would be so angry that I would go on a rampage and kill Emperor Ming and Shangguan Hongye without regard to the consequences.
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly and rubbed the center of his eyebrows with a headache.
That's right, Cang Qiao has eyes and ears all over the palace, how could he hide it from him!
With great difficulty, she, together with Old Man Tang and Aunt Wu Sang, expelled most of the toxins from his body and controlled Cang Qiao's spirit-leaving syndrome.
Don't stir up any trouble again.
Her bright eyes turned slightly, and suddenly she came up with a plan, and whispered to her father-in-law: "Eunuch, since it's hard to hide it from him, then you can do me another favor."
She wanted to reveal the solution to this nonsense to Cang Qiao in the shortest possible time, so as to prevent him from feeling insecure, making random guesses, and resorting to extreme measures when he got angry.
After she said this quietly, she and her father-in-law flashed their eyes slightly and nodded almost invisible.
Watching his father-in-law leave, Shangguan Hongye looked at her and narrowed his eyes: "What did you say to my father-in-law?"
Ming Lanruo said lightly: "Nothing, I just asked if His Majesty the Eunuch He was very angry."
Sure enough, Shangguan Hongye immediately became a little nervous: "What did the father say?"
Ming Lanruo hugged her chest and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty is very unhappy. He thinks that you are incompetent and can't get along with me, husband and wife."
In Emperor Ming's eyes, their failure to consummate their marriage was "disharmony".
Emperor Ming concluded that either Shangguan Hongye was incompetent and had been manipulated by Zhou Changle, so he did not dare to consummate the marriage with him, or that Shangguan Hongye could not consummate the marriage because he was acting in a shady manner.
Fortunately, she filed a complaint with Emperor Ming beforehand. Emperor Ming thought that Zhou Changle was jealous, so he kept them in the palace and urged them to "consummate their marriage."
Shangguan Hongye gritted his teeth angrily and cursed: "No wonder you just slandered me in front of my father, and you used me as a shield again!"
The two situations mentioned by Ming Lanruo would lower her evaluation in the heart of her father, but her father believed that he was being manipulated by Zhou Zhang, so he would not embarrass her.
Minglan stroked the hairpin on her temples calmly: "I am a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. No matter how much Your Majesty hates you, you are still his son. I am a foreigner!"
Shangguan Hongye's teeth were itching with hatred, his handsome face was full of annoyance, but he was helpless.
It seems like everything is not going well for him lately and he often makes mistakes.
Fortunately, this time due to a big flaw in the black market on the prince's side, the forces of both parties were weakened a lot, but they managed to maintain a delicate balance.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but all of this happened within a year after Ming Lanruo left the confinement.
"Don't be arrogant. In this situation, believe it or not, I will consummate the marriage with you tonight!" Shangguan Hongye snorted coldly.
Ming Lanruo glanced at him contemptuously: "You try it? Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Shangguan Hongye touched the tip of his nose and said unconvincingly: "Do you think I rarely touch you?!"
Of course he remembered her threat - if he dared to touch her, she would betray him without hesitation and seek refuge with the prince!
This damn woman is cruel and vicious, but even when she threatens him, she inexplicably attracts his attention!
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, Concubine Xian is waiting for us."
Shangguan Hongye still insisted on holding her wrist and went to the Qingluan Palace of Concubine Xian together, euphemistically calling it a show and carrying it out to the end.
Concubine Xian is now in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace on behalf of the Queen. When Shangguan Hongye and Ming Lanruo came over, she acted like the master of the harem.
After some greetings and rewards, they were invited to visit the small garden in the palace together.
After a lot of fussing, it was time to turn on the lamp.
Ming Lanruo looked at the table full of delicacies and listened to the names of the dishes announced by the two aunts beside Xian Fei. She was speechless——
Braised bear paws with mushrooms, stewed deer blood, stir-fried tiger penis with young ginger, golden seahorse soup, fried leek and hibiscus eggs...
The table is full, full of dishes that strengthen yang and nourish the kidneys.
There is also a cup of tiger bone wine on the side that is also aphrodisiac... Eating too much of one dish can make your nose bleed.
Both Ming Lanruo and Shangguan Hongye's faces were a little green, and Concubine Xian asked uneasily, "Why, this dish is not to your taste?"
She pondered over the tasks His Majesty had given her today, and found out that there were usually some ingredients that were not available in the palace, because her family was also an imperial merchant, so she could get these things.
Shangguan Hongye smiled reluctantly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Xianmu, these dishes are very good."
Of course he couldn't refute Concubine Xian's reputation. The harem was now in her hands, and the queen mother had to rely on her to take care of her.
Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief and toasted to Ming Lanruo with a smile: "These are my mother's wishes. No one will disturb you two today. Please consummate the marriage as soon as possible so that Your Majesty can rest assured."
Ming Lanruo took the cup and smelled a bit of fishy smell inside that was masked by the strong aroma of wine - it was the smell of a common aphrodisiac.
Emperor Ming, this damn old man, really can stand him to death! He will do anything to him!
A sneer flashed in her eyes, and she pretended to drink from the wine glass, but actually poured it into her sleeve quietly.
When Concubine Xian saw that they were all drunk, she stood up with a smile and said, "I still have something to do, please do it while you two are at ease."
Ming Lanruo and Shangguan Hongye saw her off.
There is a table of exquisite dishes, although the chef has carefully prepared them so that the appearance of the original ingredients is completely invisible, but once you know what they are, you naturally lose your appetite.
He impatiently took the wine glass and drank two more glasses.
Ming Lanruo wanted to stop him: "Wait a minute, that wine..."
But Shangguan Hongye had already swallowed it. He grabbed her wrist impatiently and tried to wave it away: "Don't bother me."
He was troubled enough today.
He found that he did not resist the idea of consummating the marriage with her at all, and even looked forward to using his father's hand to get her.
However, he knew he couldn't.
Just like this, I happened to catch a small piece of white jade-like arm under her sleeve.
It was smooth, white and tender, as soft as boneless, and had a slightly comfortable coolness, which made him feel relaxed.
His mind was very dizzy, and desire emerged in his heart. He wanted to know if her body was so soft and attractive, so he directly touched her small arm along the wrist.
Ming Lanruo suddenly threw away his hand and said coldly and disgustedly: "Shangguan Hongye, please wake up and don't be controlled by the aphrodisiac."
Shangguan Hongye staggered when she pulled him and almost fell to the ground.
After a while, he reluctantly stood up, but his eyes had become deep, confused and filled with undisguised desire.
He pushed towards Ming Lanruo step by step, his breath burning: "Do you hate me so much? You were not like this before. You have liked me since you were thirteen years old... I remember..."
Ming Lanruo saw that he was in a bad state, but she only looked at him coldly: "The thing I regret most in my life is that I liked you. You should know it very well."
She knew very well that he was having a drug attack.
Ming Lanruo secretly hid the silver needle with a faint blue light between her fingers, waiting for him to pounce and stun him.
But unexpectedly, Shangguan Hongye suddenly stiffened, and then fell to the ground with a "clang".
Ming Lanruo looked at the tall figure standing behind him, showed a sly smile, and said in a very low voice: "You are finally here."
Cang Qiao looked at her little appearance and felt itchy in her heart. He suddenly reached out and hugged her into his arms, humming softly: "Young lady, you still miss me?"
Seeing his unconscious resentment, Ming Lanruo couldn't help but pull the tassel of his hat and scratch his chin in a funny way: "I think so, but the governor doesn't even come to this princess!"
Cang Qiao felt a little awkward because of her straightforward flirtation, and the corners of his eyes turned a little red. He turned away and coughed lightly: "Come in."
Several hidden guards immediately carried Shangguan Hongye into the inner hall.
Ming Lanruo is a little funny, she finally discovered it——
This man who is a hedgehog is usually arrogant and domineering towards her with all kinds of tricks, but when she took the initiative to tease him, he immediately shrank back instinctively.
I started to feel embarrassed and like a young boy again. This person is really contradictory! Like a contradictory person!
But the way he looks uncomfortable now is even more alluring than when he was domineering.
When she couldn't help but want to flirt with him, she and her father-in-law quietly carried another person in from the window, it was the unconscious Zhou Changle.
Ming Lanruo's eyes lit up, and she told her father-in-law this morning to find a way to stop Zhou Changle, knock him out, and send him over in the evening.
