"Bang!" At the first sound, Shangguan Hongye's angry and gloomy face appeared outside their teahouse.
Xu Xiuyi, Mo Feiyan and the girls waiting nearby were all shocked.
Ming Lanruo looked at Shangguan Hongye calmly: "Your Majesty, there are several unmarried sisters of Yunying here. You will scare them."
Shangguan Hongye naturally recognized Xu Xiuyi and Mo Feiyan, the two legitimate daughters of a noble family. He barely suppressed his anger and stared at Ming Lanruo: "I have something to tell you!"
Xu Xiuyi and Mo Feiyan looked at Ming Lanruo worriedly. It was obvious to King Qin that good people would not come and those who came would be bad.
Ming Lanruo patted them calmly: "You two sisters, go down first to take a look at this year's new flower tea. Let's drink tea together later."
Seeing her like this, Xu Xiuyi knew that she was not afraid of King Qin's anger, so she dragged Mo Feiyan and the girls away who looked worried and wanted to say something.
Shangguan Hongye's eyes were filled with flames as he stared at Ming Lanruo: "Is it you who did what happened to Changle? You already knew where she was, but you deliberately waited for several days to let anyone reveal the news."
"Yes." Ming Lanruo said without hesitation. She looked at him expressionlessly: "Why, are you here to seek justice for your Princess Qin?"
"Changle is my cousin and the only legitimate daughter of the Zhou family. I know she touched your son and you are angry, but you are also a woman. Don't you think it is too cruel to use such a despicable method of revenge?"
Shangguan Hongye took a deep breath, pinched her shoulders and asked through gritted teeth.
"When your princess wanted to torture my Xiao Xi to death, did she ever think that he was just a child? She failed to commit the crime, just because Xiao Xi is smart, it does not mean that she is not vicious!"
What if Xiaoxi is not so smart and is just an ordinary child who cannot save himself and something happens?
Ming Lanruo narrowed her starry eyes, stared at him, and said every word -
"Xiao Xi'er is my reverse scale. Anyone who touches my reverse scale will only die or be worse than alive. There is no other outcome!"
Ming Lanruo's eyes glowed fiercely and full of hatred for an instant, as cold as the light of a knife, and the temperature of the air seemed to have dropped a little.
Shangguan Hongye was shocked for a moment.
"Now, are you going to take the initiative to let me go, or should I help you?" Ming Lanruo said coldly, not stingy at all in letting him see the silver needle in her hand.
He seemed to see boundless hatred in her eyes, but that kind of hatred actually made his heart feel cold, as if something that once belonged to him was gone.
He froze, and finally gritted his teeth and let go of the fingers that were holding her shoulders.
"Okay, even if Changle brought it upon herself, you deliberately released the news that she had fallen into a clandestine prostitution house. Why? You clearly knew that this would affect the reputation of Prince Qin's palace and the Zhou family!"
He took a deep breath, his handsome face looking cold and complicated.
Ming Lanruo dusted off his shoulders contemptuously and sneered——
"What does this have to do with me? Do you think I will give Zhou Changle a chance to turn around? I didn't add insult to injury to the current Zhou family and take advantage of his illness to kill him. It's all for your sake!"
If Shangguan Hongye didn't still need to check and balance the prince, she would definitely deal with the Zhou family with all her strength!
After saying that, her fair and pretty face was full of impatience, and she said coldly——
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has time to raise an army here to investigate the crime. Why not go back to your palace and finish the Zhou family and your messy affairs as soon as possible. In a few days, we will go to the Northeastern Territory. I don't want to delay the departure time!"
After saying that, she turned around and left, lest she would think of Shangguan Hongye's face when she saw it -
At least half of the reason why Zhou Changle touches Xiao Xi is because of King Qin, the culprit!
unlucky!
If it wasn't because she wanted to force him to get rid of Zhou Changle early so that he could go to Northeast Xinjiang to save his father, she wouldn't bother to see him!
Shangguan Hongye did not stop Ming Lanruo this time, and an irritated and complicated expression flashed across his handsome and deep face.
He didn't know why he felt more uncomfortable when he saw her alienated and disgusted expression than when he knew Zhou Changle was missing.
But the stupid thing Zhou Changle did this time made him extremely disappointed. Before, he only thought that this cousin was a bit arrogant, but he didn't think he had any brains at all. He was far worse than Ming Lanruo.
Why on earth did he give up Ming Lanruo and choose her in the first place! None of the ten Zhou families can compare to one Ming Lanruo now!
He took a deep breath and rubbed his brows irritably.
I hope the newly registered Zhou Xiangyun will not be as stupid as her sister! Otherwise, if he leaves the palace, there will be a fire in the backyard!
…
Ming Lanruo went downstairs, said goodbye to Xu Xiuyi and Mo Feiyan, and went back to his house.
Ming Lanruo leaned against the window of the carriage, quietly stroking the jade bracelet in her hand.
The spies she owns for planting these are unmatched by any agency's spies. She believes they will come in handy in the future, but these spies cannot be used easily.
Chun Zhaoyi beside the emperor, Zhou Xiangyun beside the King of Qin, and...
"Pfft." Suddenly Chunming chuckled, interrupting her train of thought: "Young lady is becoming more and more like Mr. Qiantose. She has to fiddle with something in her hands when she wants to think about something."
Chitose just likes to wear rings and bracelets.
Ming Lanruo lowered her head and looked at the expensive, crystal-clear and excellent eighteen-piece jade bracelet in her hand. This jade bracelet was the same as the eighteen-piece jade bracelet on Cang Qiao's wrist.
The same piece of material was carefully polished and strung with rubies by the same master. It was very beautiful.
The day before yesterday, after she went to Dongchang to treat his illness with acupuncture, he put it on her wrist and said expressionlessly——
This is a lover's string. It must be worn in pairs to be auspicious. Whoever doesn't wear it just doesn't want to be with the other person!
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but laugh when she thought of him like that. Sometimes that person was really a young man with a very young heart, and he would talk like a kid in a serious manner.
It's really funny. Sometimes a man who falls in love for the first time is almost like a teenager, and sometimes he's a little cute.
Chunming looked at his young lady's downcast little face, her gentle and smart smile unconsciously, and the cold and murderous look around her just now.
She couldn't help but chuckle, her young lady was no less generous than Mr. Chitose.
…
Dongchang
In the spacious white jade pool, a slender and sexy figure with a naked body was meditating and practicing in the water.
He closed his eyes, squeezed the lotus formula with his hands, and white smoke slowly floated out from his forehead and ears, and gradually gathered into a ball on the top of his head, like a small cloud.
This is called "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" - it is a skill only possessed by an extremely skilled person who has the whole body's true energy roaming for thirty-six weeks and opening up the Ren and Du meridians.
My father-in-law and I waited quietly on the side.
After a long time, his cold and deep phoenix eyes slowly opened, then he formed a seal with his hands, collected his power, and walked out of the pool full of potions.
My father-in-law and I took the big handkerchiefs and prepared to go forward to help Cang Qiao dry her clothes according to the previous rules.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly felt as if he noticed something extra on his master.
He briefly focused his eyes on Cang Qiao's slender, powerful and fair legs, and rubbed his eyes with his father-in-law in disbelief.
Then he raised his head suddenly, and after a moment he looked at Cang Qiao, his lips trembled, and he stuttered and his eyes turned red——
"Lord Governor...you...you have it...you really...really have it?! When...when did you have it?! How many months has it been?!"
