He could only look at Ming Lanruo: "Although I know you are sick, my mother is mourning, and I must fulfill my duty as a minister and son to observe filial piety. Lan Ruo, you..."
Ming Lanruo sighed, motioned for the others to step back, and interrupted him: "Your Highness, there is no need to explain to me. There is no need to explain in such detail between you and me."
She doesn’t need an explanation from him! The further away he is from her, the better!
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Hongye's eyes lit up and he looked at her with a smile: "Yes, there is no need to explain between you and me, we are husband and wife."
After saying that, he looked at Cang Qiao proudly.
Ming Lanruo had a headache: "That's not what I meant..."
Why did these two people bump into each other tonight? What kind of fate is this!
"No need to explain, I understand!" Shangguan Hongye waved his hand, strode to the side of Cang Qiao, and sat down.
Cang Qiao looked at him indifferently, as if looking at a fool, which made Shangguan Hongye feel uncomfortable all over.
"Why does the governor think so of this king?" he asked angrily.
Cang Qiao said coldly: "I am not looking at His Highness, I am just looking at a stupid dog."
Shangguan Hongye's expression suddenly changed, and he started to slap the case: "Cang Qiao, don't think that you can be so presumptuous because you are a popular person around my father!"
"I didn't say Your Highness, but there was a silly dog barking by just now. Dogs are really annoying. They like to bark at people when they gain power." Cang Qiao put down the wine glass slowly.
It was a rare night for the whole family to get together, but a wild dog disturbed everything.
Shangguan Hongye's handsome face alternated between blue and red. He knew this damn castrated dog had a poisonous mouth.
He suppressed his anger, sneered, and sat back: "Yes, Master Chitose has been a hawk and dog beside my father for a long time, so he naturally has a lot of experience."
At this time, a fat spider with red eyes was climbing over the tree in the backyard garden, lazily rubbing the bristles on its forehead——
Tsk, we are obviously both bitches, why do we dislike each other?
It seems that the witch is not a good thing. It is not enough to have a big dog like her. There are also two dogs and three dogs... Those two dogs are not like her who can urinate. Why raise them?
Why not eat them all like the mother spider and store food for two more cubs!
…
Ming Lanruo looked at the two enemies from past and present lives, took a deep breath, and told Chunhe: "Go and prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, and serve some light wine."
She thought for a while and threw a small bottle to Chunhe: "Choose a bottle and put the drug in it. If the trouble is serious, bring it up."
Chunhe's eyes widened, this eldest lady... was quite ruthless, she just charmed the two enemies, so that would save trouble?
"Yes!" she said.
After Ming Lanruo finished explaining, he walked to them and sat down, pouring tea for them respectively——
"Okay, you two, let's eat and drink tea without making any noise, okay?"
While they were talking, the maids also placed the meals brought by Shangguan Hongye.
Shangguan Hongye originally held back something he wanted to say to Ming Lanruo, but now, he could only endure it.
He didn't know why he couldn't help but rush in as soon as he heard that Cang Qiao was here.
He said dullly: "I originally wanted to share some good news with you, and I didn't come here to quarrel with you."
Ming Lanruo was stunned: "Good news."
"The good news is that the announcement of the abolition of the crown prince will be announced to the world soon, and His Highness King Qin will become the new crown prince, so he even forgot that he was still in the period when Ding You lost his mother and came to share his good deeds."
Cang Qiao slowly put a chopstick of vegetables into Ming Lanruo's bowl.
Shangguan Hongye's face darkened at the ridicule, but he still endured it.
He promised Ming Lanruo not to cause trouble.
Ming Lanruo's bright eyes moved slightly, yes, the prince was definitely going to be deposed.
Then all the previous agreements between King Qin and her were that she would help him bring down the prince. Now that the prince has fallen... her cooperation with him is over.
Shangguan Hongye glanced at Cang Qiao coldly, and gave Ming Lanruo a piece of chopsticks: "Lanruo, I want to have a few words with you in private, is that okay?"
Ming Lanruo was silent for a moment, glanced at Cang Qiao, and said: "Your Highness, just say it here. There is nothing between you and me that the governor cannot know."
Hearing this, Cang Qiao looked at Ming Lanruo. This sentence made him feel very good for no reason. He smiled and said, "I'm going to clean my hands."
After that, he stood up and left.
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Cang Qiao suddenly gave in.
But he still looked at Shangguan Hongye: "Your Highness, what do you want to say?"
Shangguan Hongye looked at her for a while and then said: "Lan Ruo, the cooperation we agreed on before is over."
"Well, what happens next?" Ming Lanruo looked at him calmly.
Shangguan Hongye was silent for a while: "I have told you several times, but have you seriously considered that you and I are not just a fake couple?"
Ming Lanruo: "Why are you here again..."
He interrupted her and looked at her with complicated and burning eyes: "Because I will be the future prince. If you don't become a real husband and wife with me, what will you do in the future? Will you die like your second sister Ming Yueying?
?”
There is still a way for the prince to divorce his wife, but the prince is the prince, and the future emperor and the emperor's woman have no other choice but to die and die!
What else could she do besides being with him?
Minglanruodu, no, there are other explanations, such as - usurping power and seizing the throne to kill the king.
But she lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry about it."
Shangguan Hongye looked at her steadily: "Do you have any other choice? Or are you waiting for the person in your heart?"
When he said the last sentence, he couldn't help but clenched his fists to prevent his expression from becoming gloomy and murderous.
Ming Lanruo looked at him with clear and calm eyes: "Yes, I am waiting for him, waiting for the day when he can stand with me openly."
Shangguan Hongye's heart suddenly twisted because of her words, and his red eyes turned slightly red: "Who is that person?!"
Ming Lanruo didn't answer, but just poured him another cup of tea: "Whatever you like about me, I'll change."
"You!" Shangguan Hongye was furious for a moment.
Ming Lanruo looked at him quietly and pushed the tea in front of him: "Your Highness, you will marry many women in the future, so you don't need to look at me twice."
Shangguan Hongye looked at the cup of tea and smiled expressionlessly: "It's tea again, your tea is bitter and unpleasant to drink!"
After saying that, he stood up suddenly and turned his back: "You are not clear-headed. You will wake up one day!"
The day he becomes emperor, even if they are a fake couple, she will become his concubine! He will always get her!
Looking at Shangguan Hongye's back leaving like a whirlwind, Ming Lanruo rubbed his eyebrows.
What kind of bad fate is this? I couldn’t get it in my previous life, and I can’t get rid of it in this life just like the brown candy!
"Why, does the little empress feel sorry for Prince Qin?" A pair of long, white and cold hands gently touched her shoulders and slender neck from behind.
Ming Lanruo lazily held his hand and leaned back on his waist: "I don't feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for you."
"I feel sorry for you, why?" The man stroked her long hair with a half-smile.
Ming Lanruo lowered her head and bit his frivolous hand angrily: "Because of your shady status, even if I like you, I can't tell anyone and ask questions knowingly!"
Cang Qiao sighed softly, and suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted her up, holding her on his arm like a child.
"Slow down!" Ming Lanruo instinctively hugged his shoulders, fearing that she would fall.
He raised his face to look at the beauty held on his arm, suddenly broke her wrist and pulled her head down...
With a cool and gentle smile on his face, he kissed her soft lips: "Then, feel sorry for me."
…
All this was seen by the tall figure who suddenly turned his head.
Shangguan Hongye's eyes widened slightly in disbelief, but when the other party looked over, he instinctively ducked behind the courtyard door, his whole body stiffening.
