Water flowed all over the floor inside the door, and a thin young man who was soaked was leaning against the bathtub. His waistline was wrapped in soaked clothes, and he was narrow and beautiful.
The delicate and pale face was stained with crimson at the moment, his eyes were cruel and fragile, his chest was rising and falling, and his fingers were clasping another man kneeling on the ground with his naked and strong upper body.
There was dead silence in the air.
Everyone's faces, which were originally filled with murderous intent, all turned green:...
No one expected to see such an outrageous scene when they opened the door.
The prince suddenly raised his hands and sleeves with a bad expression, blocking Ming Lanruo's eyes: "Lanruo, don't look at it, the scene is filthy and dirty, it will hurt your eyes!"
Ming Lanruo rarely resisted the prince's kindness and agreed deeply: "Your Highness is right."
The two of them exited the room together, and the guards silently closed the door to the room.
Vomit - early in the morning, bad luck!
…
In the room, the face of the panting young scholar went from pale to ashen, and his back teeth were almost broken.
Damn, what the hell is this!
Who is this bastard Shangguan Zhou saying is filthy?
With red eyes, the scholar looked down at the man who was holding up his hair and had choked on water until he was unconscious. He was filled with murderous intent - really... just kill him!
Just at this moment, a very weak voice suddenly sounded from the corner: "Master, do you... do you want to change clothes?"
Scholar Yin's hand stretched out to Shangguan Hongye's throat and paused, and his scarlet eyes regained a little clarity.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and pushed Shangguan Hongye to the side: "Clean up this dirty thing and wait for me to change my clothes!"
Sooner or later, he will kill all these bastards who annoy him!
Several mysterious black shadows emerged from nowhere and moved quickly and quietly, fearing that if they made any sound, their angry master would kill them.
In the lobby of the inn, the prince and Ming Lanruo were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea together - they were shocked.
After a while, the prince finally spoke: "Lan Ruo, are you okay? I just saw you blocking Gu from entering. I knew there was someone there..."
He paused and did not finish speaking.
Ming Lanruo stroked the tea cup and said with a complicated expression: "That is the room of Xiao Xi's teacher. Mr. Yin has a weak and quiet temperament. It's so early in the morning. I'm afraid you might scare him..."
The prince nodded with a complicated expression: "Well, it's quite scary."
But it was not the scholar who was frightened, but the whole group of them.
The prince coughed lightly: "Lan Ruo, if you need to find a husband for your child, I know a lot of great scholars here."
Ming Lanruo was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Thank you, no need."
The habit of cutting sleeves is a personal preference, and she doesn't think she needs to look down on the hidden scholar because of this kind of thing.
Shangguan Zhou saw that Ming Lanruo rejected his proposal and said no more.
He smiled and changed the topic with a twinkle in his eye: "Yes, when you came here, did you know who wanted to assassinate Gu?"
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "Although Lan Ruo is not sure about the specific situation, she is someone who does not want His Highness to hinder her future."
"Yes, the existence of Gu has hindered too many people, especially my fifth brother, King Qin. He hates Gu so much." Shangguan Zhou stared at Ming Lanruo's expression carefully.
Ming Lanruo lowered her eyelashes, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Your Highness to tell Lan Ruo these things. Lan Ruo is not a member of the court after all."
Shangguan Zhou smiled helplessly and reached out to hold the catkins she placed on the table: "Lan Ruo, what you said is out of context. You and I worked together in the palace to seize the power of the Queen's Sixth Palace, and also caused the King of Qin to lose his position as co-chairman of the Criminal Department.
Shi Quan, I thought you and I were already of the same mind."
Ming Lanruo, however, withdrew her hand quickly and said, "Yes, when His Highness the Crown Prince saved my life, I repaid him by taking away the power of the King of Qin and the Queen. I thought it was a mutual debt."
Both sides are smart people, and their roundabout ways of speaking are enough to express what both parties mean.
Ming Lanruo refused to become his person and refused to surrender to him.
Shangguan Zhou narrowed his eyes and watched Ming Lanruo restrain his smile: "So, Lan Ruo, you still don't believe that I have my whole heart for you?"
Ming Lanruo stood up and said calmly: "Your Highness's thoughts should go to your wives and concubines, not to me."
She was actually annoyed by Shangguan Zhou's hypocritical and affectionate appearance. Compared to being ruthless and ruthless, he was as good as Shangguan Hongye.
Seeing Ming Lanruo turning around to leave, Shangguan Zhou's gentle voice sounded again: "Lan Ruo, have you really never seen Shangguan Hongye?"
Ming Lanruo paused, looked at him, and said without changing her expression: "No."
Shangguan Zhou picked up the tea cup and took a sip politely: "Okay, Gu believes that Lan Ruo will not lie to Gu. After all, in this world, people who are unstable at both ends usually do not end well."
The lobby surrounded by guards became quiet for a while, and the atmosphere in the air became colder, just like the cold rain outside the window.
Ming Lanruo nodded: "His Royal Highness is right, but Lanruo is a layman and won't get up early if there is no benefit. As long as we can get benefits like we did in the palace last time, of course we can continue to cooperate in the future."
She paused and smiled again: "But if there is no benefit and you just use your words to deceive people into working for free, that's called shameless, don't you think?"
She spoke extremely bluntly, so bluntly that she almost didn't save Shangguan Zhou any face.
The captain of the guard on the side scolded with a cold face: "How dare the princess be so rude and presumptuous to the prince!"
Ming Lanruo turned a deaf ear and looked out the window: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, the Queen Mother has sent someone to pick me up."
Shangguan Zhou followed her gaze and saw that there were indeed guards from Tangquan Palace escorting a palace carriage towards the inn.
His expression darkened, but within a moment, he returned to his usual gentle look: "Lan Ruo may have misunderstood Gu. I'll see you off to the car."
Ming Lanruo actually admired Shangguan Zhou's ability to endure. If it were Shangguan Hongye, he would probably yell at her.
"Then it's time to work." She smiled, did not refuse Shangguan Zhou's company, and walked out of the inn together.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Jinghe immediately jumped out of the car.
She politely bowed to the prince first, and then looked at Ming Lanruo with a little worry: "Miss, are you... okay?"
The prince actually appeared here. Did he find something?
Ming Lanruo shook her head and said suggestively: "I'm fine, Jinghe, go and call Mr. Nameless and ask him to take our original carriage back to the hot spring palace."
Jinghe nodded, and suddenly thought of someone again: "What about Yin Shusheng?"
Ming Lanruo's face looked a little strange, and she coughed slightly: "I must call him, but you remember to knock on the door first to see if he... has packed up."
Jinghe nodded a little confused: "Okay..."
"No need, Xiaosheng has already packed up." A gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
Everyone looked around and saw a thin, fair scholar wearing a half-worn robe slowly coming out carrying an old baggage.
Everyone present looked slightly weird.
Scholar Yin had a few veins bulging on his forehead. He had a pale face, suppressed his displeasure, and got into the carriage expressionlessly.
Jing He stopped him unhappily: "Hey, men and women ride in different carriages. How can you ride in the princess's carriage? You have to ride..."
Ming Lanruo shook her head sympathetically: "Forget it, forget it, go ahead and make arrangements for Mr. Nameless."
Jinghe was a little confused, but he still helped Ming Lanruo get into the car, then hurriedly turned around and went into the inn to make arrangements.
The prince and other people who "knew the inside story" felt that Jing He was making such a fuss, after all...
How can a little rabbit, who is suppressed by a man, treat a noble princess like that? They are just "sisters".
After a while, Jinghe followed another carriage and drove out.
"Wait a minute, this carriage needs to be searched to prevent assassins from hiding inside!" The captain of the guard suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the carriage.
Jing He became nervous instantly and instinctively looked at Ming Lanruo.
