The young scholar's expression changed, and then he raised his eyes and looked at Ming Lanruo: "Do you really want me to say it in front of this crowd?"
Ming Lanruo stared at him for a moment, then signaled the guards at the Hot Spring Palace to stay away.
"Okay, can we talk now?" She raised her eyebrows.
Scholar Yin lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment: "Xiaosheng is the clerk of the Yamen under Prince Jing's palace. He has seen the analysis and records of Prince Jing's staff about the prince, so he has some understanding of the prince and guessed the prince's plan."
Ming Lanruo's face changed slightly, and she looked him up and down for a while: "You...are the remnant of Prince Jing?!"
Prince Jing was the vassal king who was murdered by Cang Qiao and his entire family in Dongchang for treason.
The heads of the adult men in the house were made into lanterns by Dongchang and hung at the door, frightening the other feudal princes who came to be "guests" and gave them nightmares.
Scholar Yin lowered his long and thin eyes: "My dear lady, as a clerk, I am only responsible for sorting out various documents in Prince Jing's territory every day. I have never seen the masters of Prince Jing's palace. Even Shangguan rarely comes to the library.
.”
He paused and sighed: "But even so, those of us who don't even have a rank are called the remnants of Prince Jing. If we want to live, we have to purify ourselves and enter the palace. Xiaosheng had no choice but to escape."
"
Ming Lanruo looked at her calmly: "So, you lied to me when you said you took the initiative to cleanse yourself?"
In all dynasties, there have been innocent people implicated in treason, who had to go to the palace to purify themselves or be relegated to a lowly status in order to survive.
The hidden scholar raised his slender and deep eyes and looked at her deeply: "I have no choice but to purify myself and enter the palace. I have not deceived the young lady."
No matter who he was, he had never lied to her.
Ming Lanruo's heart trembled slightly when she saw his eyes as cold as snow.
Jing He put the knife on his waist and snorted coldly: "Then what are you doing here and why are you entangled with my eldest lady? Is there some conspiracy?"
The hidden scholar said calmly: "I originally heard that there was an old friend in the workshop, so after I escaped, I wanted to come here to make a living. Who knew... that something like this would happen."
Ming Lanruo narrowed her beautiful eyes, assessing the authenticity of his words.
It was indeed an impromptu decision for her to come down to the workshop.
Even the King of Qin and the Crown Prince were surprised by her appearance, and Scholar Yin didn't have the ability to set up a trap in advance.
Scholar Yin glanced at Jing Ming and said calmly: "Also, it was obviously you who caught me in the car."
Jing Ming was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and took back the dagger: "Oh, it seems, sorry."
Ming Lanruo: "..."
This stupid girl is really... completely led by others.
She looked at Scholar Yin: "Scholar Yin, you should know how risky it is to be with the remnants of rebellion. I forgive you for not keeping you. I will ask Jingming to get you three hundred taels of silver later, and you can go on your own.
Bar."
Jingming was shocked. Thirty taels was the annual expense for a family of three. Three hundred taels was a bit much!
Even if they are landlords and have no food left, they still rely on the Queen Mother for support. Why is Miss Ye so generous?
She couldn't help but lowered her voice in pain: "Wait a minute, miss, that money..."
"I don't want the little lady's money. I just want to ask the little lady, do you know that the unknown master in the car behind is also a remnant of Prince Jing?" Scholar Yin interrupted Jing Ming calmly.
Ming Lanruo felt his cold gaze and touched her nose guiltily. She...actually knew, well, she knew it in her previous life.
She came to intercept King Qin's Hu, so she naturally thought of how to conceal Mr. Nameless's identity.
The hidden scholar asked gloomily: "If you can accept Mr. Wuming, why can't you accept Xiaosheng, just because Xiaosheng is a useless scholar?" This chapter has been completed!
