He was expecting her to "not disappoint" him, and he was expecting her to "disappoint" him.
Gee, what a contradiction.
…
Ming Lanruo stiffened her neck and glared at him, with a silver needle between her fingers. How dare he touch her!
But unexpectedly, he suddenly slapped Xiangxue in the face with his backhand.
Xiangxue had been raised in Prince Qin's palace in recent years to be delicate and rich, how could she withstand Shangguan Hongye's merciless slap?
She was knocked to the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and raised her head in disbelief: "Um... Your Highness, why did you..."
Shangguan Hongye looked at her with indifference and disdain: "How dare you, a lowly servant like you, be rude and kneel down to Princess Mourning, who is a member of the royal family!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the guard.
Immediately, two guards rushed forward, grabbed Xiangxue, and forced her to kneel in front of Ming Lanruo.
The person she originally expected to support her treated her like this, Xiangxue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She cried and struggled in pain unwillingly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, have you forgotten our love..."
But unexpectedly, Shangguan Hongye suddenly raised his knee and completely planted her head on the ground.
He said disgustedly: "Because you are Lan Ruo's personal maid, I, for Lan Ruo's sake, took care of you when she was in jail. How dare you, a lowly born thing, insult her!"
Ming Lanruo: "..."
What a turning point this is! Breathtaking!
"Kneel down and apologize to your lady! If she doesn't forgive you, you will keep kneeling here until you die!"
"Your Highness, spare your life... spare your life... No, Miss, it was Xiangxue who was wrong... For the sake of Lan Ruo, who has served you since childhood, spare my life!" Xiangxue was in so much pain that her eyeballs were about to be stepped out by Shangguan Hongye.
, with his mouth full of blood.
The survival instinct made her completely let go of her so-called "self-esteem", waving her hands around trying to feel the hem of Ming Lanruo's skirt.
Ming Lanruo took a step back in disgust, but still spoke: "Okay, seeing blood so early in the morning won't make you sick!"
"Xiao Ruo is right." Shangguan Hongye smiled and let go of his feet. Xiangxue curled up on the ground like a dead dog at his feet.
Ming Lanruo was really disgusted with him and said coldly: "Xiangxue betrayed her. On the day I married into Prince Mou's Palace, he sent her to wash the house. King Qin tried every possible means to get her out of the Ming Palace. It can be seen that he liked this girl. Why bother now?"
This is how you treat her."
She has known for a long time that women are only divided into "useful" and "useless" objects to Shangguan Hongye.
But she couldn't help but feel chilled when she saw Shangguan Hongye treating Xiangxue so cruelly.
Shangguan Hongye took a step forward and looked at her with burning eyes: "Do you know why I saved this girl? It's because not a year after you married that dead man, she asked someone to give me a letter saying that you entrusted me with
The king takes care of her..."
"So what the prince is saying is that you asked the Duke's Mansion for Xiangxue to be your concubine because of me?" Ming Lanruo snorted lightly and took a step back.
However, Shangguan Hongye took another step forward, almost pressing against her, lowering his head and saying seriously: "I took Xiangxue to the Duke's Mansion with me after knowing that you were no longer detained in the Duke's Mansion, hoping to get her back to you..."
"
"Thank you Bu Min, I can't afford such a girl. As for how Your Highness wants to deal with her, as long as it's not in front of my eyes, it's up to you." Ming Lanruo said coldly, turned around and left.
You can tell with your toes that this person most likely wanted to trick her because he wanted to see her fall over, so he acted in such an affectionate death look, and it’s not disgusting!
When Shangguan Hongye saw that Minglan Ruo was soft and stubborn, a cold and stern light flashed in his eyes.
This woman who was so crazy about him that she crawled into his bed before, how dared to refuse his advances!
He glanced at several guards, who immediately stood in front of Ming Lanruo.
"Go away!" Ming Lanruo was furious.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Hongye suddenly stepped forward and held her in his arms from behind: "Xiao Ruo, I have missed you very much these years!"
Light snow gradually began to fall in the sky again. If this was really a scene of old love meeting again, it would be really beautiful.
But Ming Lanruo couldn't bear it anymore and just wanted to blow the man's head off!
She raised her hand and pierced Shangguan Hongye's waist with the hidden silver needle: "Get away!"
She has already shown in front of the emperor that she hates Shangguan Hong, and even if she pokes him twice, she is not afraid of him going to complain to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly passed over his face and knocked Shangguan Hongye away with a "bang".
Shangguan Hongye is not weak in martial arts. When he heard the strong wind coming, he couldn't move out of the way and was directly hit by the strong wind against the wall!
His handsome face was distorted with pain, and he gritted his teeth: "Well...who dares to sneak attack on me? Are you going to rebel?"
"It turns out that Your Highness, King Qin, our family thought it was a wild dog that came from somewhere." A cold and unpredictable voice sounded.
Ming Lanruo followed the sound and saw a tall figure wearing Yun brocade plain white uniform walking in from the entrance of the alley.
The tip of his nose is beautifully trimmed, the bridge of his nose is high, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes under his slender flying eyebrows draw out a fascinating arc like an ink pen.
Her color is like a spring dawn flower, with the corners of her eyes stained with a naturally morbid pink color, and a sinister Shura aura contrasting with the elegant white color. She doesn't see the fairy aura, but looks like a life-threatening Bai Wuchang.
Shangguan Hongye's face suddenly turned ugly. The next second, he was supported by his subordinates and stood firm. He cupped his fists and saluted: "Nine thousand years old."
As soon as Ming Lanruo saw Cang Qiao, her bright eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle!"
She was just about to run over, but suddenly she saw a slim white figure holding an umbrella behind Cang Qiao.
Ming Lanruo paused hesitantly, wondering why Yun Ni came with him again.
Yun Ni didn't look at her, but gently held up the umbrella behind Cang Qiao: "It's snowy and the road is slippery, Lord, go slow."
Ming Lanruo's eyes stung when she saw that Yun Ni had Cang Qiao's cloak on her shoulders.
Cang Qiao is an extremely "lonely" person.
He never allowed others to touch his things, let alone wear his clothes.
The relationship between Yun Ni and him has actually reached such a close level?
Cang Qiao saw her stop and stared at Ming Lanruo gloomily: "Come on, come on!"
Ming Lanruo said expressionlessly: "Since Mr. Qiantose is here, I have to rush back to pick up Xiao Xi. I'll leave you to handle the rest."
After speaking in one breath, she turned around and walked towards the entrance of another alley.
"Ming Lanruo, I will never repeat my words a second time, come here!" Cang Qiao's eyes were smiling, and her voice became colder and gloomier, making people shudder.
He shouldn't have released her from the confinement. As soon as she left the palace, she couldn't help but want to see Shangguan Hongye, her old lover.
When Yun Ni reported this matter, he didn't believe it at first, so he stood quietly on the roof and waited until now.
