He has clearly said that he cannot marry himself, so what if...
When he finds out that Xiao Xi is his child in the future, will he take Xiao Xi away?
Based on that person's unpredictable and elusive temperament, it's really hard to say.
Ming Lanruo took a deep breath, and she began to wonder if she was too simplistic when she came back and thought about recognizing the child's father and having a happy family of three.
She simply squatted in the hot spring pool, immersed her face in the water, and forced herself to calm down.
No matter what, she had to make herself stronger and accumulate her power as quickly as possible.
You can't just put your chips on Cang Qiao and completely give up the idea of being the woman who clings to him alive!
She didn't want to experience being framed again, only to have her sweetheart leave with another woman.
The experience of her previous life and this life has taught her one thing - it is never better to rely on others than to rely on yourself!
Only when she has enough power to compete with the King of Qin, the Prince and even Dongchang, no matter what happens, she can be invincible and protect the people she wants to protect.
As for whether to let Cang Qiao recognize Xiao Xi, we will weigh it when the time comes.
Ming Lanruo raised her face, and water drops rolled down her cold and beautiful face. She was beautiful and attractive, but it could not hide the soft and cold look between her eyebrows.
"Princess Mourning, have you finished washing? Can we come in to serve you?" the maid from the Hot Spring Palace outside the door asked timidly.
Just now, the father-in-laws of Dongchang just drove them aside and blocked the place. It seemed that someone had entered, but they didn't dare to ask.
They didn't dare to come over until the people from Dongchang left.
Ming Lanruo's mood had returned to calm, and she nodded lightly: "Come in."
…
When Ming Lanruo returned to Qingyou Villa, Xiao Xi had already been taken back from the Queen Mother.
The little man is learning to play chess with a thin and gentle figure.
Seeing Ming Lanruo come back, Scholar Yin stood up and said, "See the princess."
Ming Lanruo looked at him and thanked her seriously: "I haven't thanked Scholar Yin enough for saving Xiao Xi. You are my benefactor, so I asked the princess to go out."
There was a bit of embarrassment on the hidden scholar's fair face, and he said sheepishly: "Young lady, you are welcome, you will be my master from now on, and this is what you should do as a retainer."
Ming Lanruo picked up Xiao Xi, looked at him, and sighed secretly.
They are both men, why are there such big differences?
No matter in the previous life or in this life, she should probably like this kind of man who has no ambition and no power.
But she is attracted to dangerous and scary men.
The hidden scholar looked at her staring at him in a daze, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with the little lady?"
Ming Lanruo looked at him and suddenly said calmly: "Scholar Yin, I never take people under my wing easily. I hope you will never lie to me again."
The hidden scholar was stunned, and an undercurrent flashed through his slender eyes: "What if someone deceives you?"
Ming Lanruo was silent for a while and smiled mistyly: "If you are disloyal for a moment, you will never be loyal again. I will never forgive you."
After she finished speaking, she hugged Xiao Xi and turned to leave.
Looking at her slim and cold back, the hidden scholar's eyes were complicated and dark.
Are you warning him? Did you see some flaw? Or is it just a warning to the disciples who are about to join your disciples?
If you are disloyal for a moment, you will never be loyal again?
What a decisive little lady.
For some reason, his heart felt a little uncomfortable, and he touched his chest lightly.
"But... Dongchang is the breeding ground for assassination, deception, framing, and torture... all the darkness and filth that can be imagined in the world. Even Cang Qiao is a scam."
…
He said no more and turned to look at the moon outside the window with a cold and creepy smile.
What does it matter whether you forgive or not?
No one can take what he wants away from him, and he can't escape from it.
…
This trip to the hot spring palace is truly thrilling.
With so many things happening, the Queen Mother couldn't stay any longer. After staying at the Hot Spring Palace for another two days, she simply drove back to the palace.
Ming Lanruo took Xiao Xi back to the capital in the old lady's carriage.
When she got off the Queen Mother's carriage, everyone around her saw it, unable to hide their envy and astonishment.
After all, everyone knew that the original Princess Mourning was a princess in a ghostly marriage who was not going to live long.
But now, the salted fish has turned around.
Ming Lanruo knew that this was because the old lady felt sorry for Xiao Xi and her, and was afraid that she would have a hard time in the capital, so she went out of her way to build momentum for her.
After all, the Zhou family is now the most prosperous family in the entire capital. Since all the loyal members of Marshal Xiao died and King Qin returned the Tiger Talisman, General Zhou is considered the number one person with military power.
With regard to this palace visit, she was completely at odds with the Zhou family.
"You have to be more careful in your actions. Xiaoxi is still so young. What will happen if something happens again." The Queen Mother frowned and spoke sternly.
Ming Lanruo knew that the old lady cared about him, so she smiled and saluted gracefully: "Yes, Lanruo knows."
Chunming and Grandma Wang and Tingting were waiting at the door for their return early.
Seeing their master bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, they quickly welcomed their young lady and young master into the door, shutting out all those malicious eyes.
"How is Master Wuming's arrangement going?" Ming Lanruo asked Chunming in a low voice.
Chunming said: "Don't worry, I brought the master back yesterday, and the people on the prince's side didn't notice anything unusual."
Ming Lanruo knows that Chunming is a very stable person, so she can do things with peace of mind.
Chunming glanced at the thin man wearing a half-worn cotton robe following Ming Lanruo, and then looked at his eldest lady: "Is this Mr. Yin mentioned by Mr. Nameless?"
Ming Lanruo nodded: "Yes, in the future he will be responsible for enlightening Xiao Xi to read."
The Yin scholar stepped forward and saluted Chunming: "Hello, girl, there is a word Yin in my name."
Chunming nodded without being humble or arrogant, but did not act as enthusiastic and easy to get along with as Jinghe: "The scope of your future activities will be in the study at the back of the West Crossing Courtyard. Please don't wander around if you have nothing to do."
Ming Lanruo didn't stop her arrangement, she just looked at the hidden scholar indifferently.
"Yes." Scholar Yin smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and glanced at Chunming's slightly bulging temples.
This maidservant is also an expert. It seems that she needs to be more careful when entering and leaving Prince Mourning's Mansion in the future.
Scholar Yin was led by servants to the West Cross Courtyard.
Chunming looked at his back and frowned slightly: "The whole person is a bit weird."
Ming Lanruo's eyes also became wary: "What's weird?"
