Nothing happened, no one was as poisonous as Tang Lilan.
Shangguan Hongye suddenly frowned, and he looked at Ming Lanruo with a hidden look, preparing to ask her what to do with this 'mistress'?
However, she found that Ming Lanruo was not looking at the Dongchang guard named Qiao Yan who was standing far away. The two seemed to be communicating silently.
Qiao Yan noticed his gaze, suddenly raised his head and looked over, and their eyes made contact.
Shangguan Hongye felt a cold and oppressive aura coming towards him.
He froze and involuntarily avoided the other person's gaze, but the next moment, he felt that he was extremely ridiculous - he was actually afraid of a mere black-clad Tiqi guard captain?
He immediately stared at it!
But Qiao Yan was no longer looking at him at this moment, but looked towards the water surface indifferently, as if looking at him one more time would dirty his eyes.
That feeling of extreme contempt made Shangguan Hongye's face extremely gloomy and he had the urge to kill!
Ming Lanruo had already opened her mouth and said calmly: "It seems that this cake is not poisonous. Miss Tang San is very quick to talk!"
Shangguan Hongye's face turned cold and he wanted to say something else: "This..."
Ming Lanruo had already reached out and held his arm.
Feeling a slender and soft hand resting on his arm, Shangguan Hongye's Danfeng eyes darkened slightly.
A strange look flashed in his eyes, but he was calmed down and did not speak again.
Magistrate Tang still looked as distressed as ever: "The official is busy with official duties and did not teach her well, so she gave birth to such an ignorant child! The official must punish her well!"
Ming Lanruo chuckled softly: "It's hard to please all the parents in the world. In this case, let's forget it for the sake of the prefect's face."
Now that the nobles in the capital are no longer pursuing the case, the stagnant air has relaxed.
Magistrate Tang winked, and someone immediately took Mrs. Peony and Tang Lilan away.
Magistrate Tang's chubby face was full of shame: "Your Highness, Concubine Ming is frightened. I will go and restrain the subordinates first, and I will never let anyone collide with you again."
With that said, he bowed, turned around and retreated.
Just for a moment, when he turned around, a gloomy light like a knife flashed in his narrow eyes squeezed out by the fat.
Watching Magistrate Tang leave, Shangguan Hongye's handsome and handsome face showed a cold look: "Why did you let that bitch who wanted to poison you go?"
Ming Lanruo heard the murderous intent in his words and didn't understand why he was so angry. Then Tang Lilan didn't target him.
She just turned around and looked at the water in the distance: "Otherwise, hasn't Magistrate Tang proven that those flower cakes are 'non-toxic'? No matter what method he used, it can be seen that his methods are clever."
She paused, then curved her pink lips: "Even if I insist on taking her life for the reason of her rushing into the noble, what's the point? Could it be that you and I are aiming at this idiot Tang Lilan?"
The stupid weight is too light and can be easily packed away.
But if she insists on taking Tang Lilan's life, she will anger Magistrate Tang in advance, which will cause more variables in today's Hongmen Banquet.
"That's what the princess said." Shangguan Hongye's expression also returned to calm. He knew that what Ming Lanruo said made sense.
"After we get to the island, according to the plan we discussed before, our people can use their own talents to check the situation on the island. If necessary, we can use the pigeon whistle as a signal to communicate with each other."
Ming Lanruo followed the previous agreement and handed the ten extremely small pigeon whistles in his hand to Shangguan Hongye.
Shangguan Hongye put the pigeon whistle away and smiled lightly: "I understand."
As he spoke, he pointed to the island in the middle of the lake not far away.
"Such a place, if there are no boats, is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But once the fortress of the magistrate's residence is breached, transporting boats into the fortress, or driving boats from the river mouth to attack in reverse, the island will be isolated and difficult to defend. The island in the middle of the lake is easy to defend.
Breached."
Ming Lanruo looked into the distance, thoughtfully, although Shangguan Hongye was a despicable guy.
But it is undeniable that he was an excellent strategist and commander on the battlefield. If he said there was a problem on the island in the middle of the lake, then there must be a problem.
"Prefect Tang would not make such a low-level mistake that would easily allow people to steal his lair. There may be some mechanism on the island, or there must be some special escape route that we don't know about."
Ming Lanruo said thoughtfully.
Shangguan Hongye looked at her and suddenly snorted awkwardly: "After you go to the island, you must be careful and follow me closely. I also killed a general among thousands of armies to protect you, a woman."
, it’s still okay.”
Ming Lanruo squinted at him: "Why are you so kind-hearted all of a sudden? What's your conspiracy? Let me tell you, the bet you lost to me must be fulfilled today. You can't just say a few words and make a good sale!"
Shangguan Hongye suddenly became angry. He only felt a feeling of being wronged in his heart: "You are really... I want to protect you with good intentions! Okay, tell me what you want me to do!"
Rather than being wronged, he was more wary of the bet she said - he would do something within his power for her.
What can you do that you can only do on the island?
"I haven't seen the person who wants you to take action yet. Once I get to the island and I see him, I will tell His Highness what to do." Ming Lanruo had bright eyes and white teeth, and smiled with an extremely bright smile.
But Shangguan Hongye suddenly saw the evil intention in her smile.
Ming Lanruo: "As for protecting me..."
"It is our Dongchang's duty to protect Concubine Ming. Master Qiantose has already given the order, so I won't bother Your Highness to worry about it." Qiao Yan's indifferent voice sounded behind them.
He stopped neatly and squeezed directly between Ming Lanruo and Shangguan Hongye.
"Wantless, what are you doing!" Shangguan Hongye was squeezed away by him, and his handsome face turned dark with anger.
Qiao Yan smiled coldly: "As you can see, protect the little empress." This chapter has been completed!
