The official of the King of Qin on the side hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Little madam, when we gave alms before, there were very few people who came to receive the porridge. We put more rice porridge for them, but they refused to take it."
Aren’t the victims all starving to death, yet there is such a weird thing happening?
Ming Lanruo and Shangguan Hongye looked at each other and saw deep suspicion.
Ming Lanruo pondered for a moment, her eyes moving: "It doesn't matter, I have a way!"
Shangguan Hongye looked at her, a little wary: "Don't mess around and cause trouble for me again!"
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows: "Aren't we here just to cause trouble? If we don't cause trouble, how will you deal with the prince?"
Shangguan Hongye was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily: "Haha, it makes sense. My brother, the prince, who is full of benevolence, justice and morality, doesn't know what good things to do here. If my father knows about it, he will be in trouble.
.”
Ah, he felt very good when he thought of Shangguan Zhou's distorted and broken look on his hypocritical face.
After saying that, Shangguan Hongye patted Ming Lanruo's shoulder happily and vigorously.
Ming Lanruo was almost slapped down rudely by him. She quickly held on to the table and couldn't help gritting her teeth: "Official, please be careful. I'm not one of your big and simple soldiers!"
"Don't worry, madam." Shangguan Hongye teased and deliberately reached out to hold her shoulders.
Ming Lanruo's face turned cold, and she stretched out her hand to push him displeased: "Let go!"
Shangguan Hongye let go of her with a half-smile, but quietly approached her and urged her: "You said you have a way to attract the victims. What method is it? Tell me quickly!"
Ming Lanruo took back her thoughts and started talking like this to Shangguan Hongye.
After hearing this, Shangguan Hongye frowned and stared at her doubtfully: "This method is really effective. My subordinate officials have never given me money before!"
Ming Lanruo smiled lightly: "Why don't you believe it? Do you want to take a gamble? Not only can I attract victims, but I can also find out the reasons why these victims are abnormal within three days?"
Shangguan Hongye snorted indifferently: "What are you betting on?"
"You lose, just to do something within my power. If I lose, I will do something within my power for you." Ming Lanruo set a trap with a smile, and did not hide the calculation in his eyes.
Shangguan Hongye looked at her pretty and fair face, and he had other plans in his mind.
What does she want to plot against him?
But her appearance is really heart-wrenching. This bet will be profitable for him!
Even if she loses, he is not afraid. If she makes excessive demands, he will say that he is unable to do anything.
"Deal!" After Shangguan Hongye pondered for a while, he said simply and asked with a twinkle in his eye: "Are you going back to the prefect's mansion today?"
Ming Lanruo held her chin and said lazily: "I'm not going back. If I go back, it won't be easy to come out."
Now that they are in the prefect's residence and cannot approach the island in the middle of the lake, it is inconvenient for them to move around, so they might as well do what they need to do outside and find out what they need to know.
Shangguan Hongye smiled happily: "Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you."
It would be best if he didn't go back, and make that little eunuch Xiaoyanzi angry to death! Make him act like a monster between him and Ming Lanruo all day long.
The night is getting darker.
Ming Lanruo was still thinking about a map of Northeastern Xinjiang when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?" Ming Lanruo opened the door. The inn was safe, so she didn't think much about it.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shangguan Hongye's tall figure standing outside the door, holding a tray with wine, vegetables and snacks in his hand.
She was stunned.
He raised his eyebrows: "Why, don't you invite me in?"
Ming Lanruo also raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter with Your Highness? Isn't it appropriate to visit late at night?"
Shangguan Hongye's narrow eyes narrowed and he looked at her deeply, seemingly helpless: "I have something to discuss with you, not to mention I look like a bad person..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze and stood in front of the door unable to move, unable to speak.
"Some people don't look like bad people, but they look like dogs that covet the meat in other people's bowls." A cold young voice sounded behind him.
Ming Lanruo: "..."
She looked at the beautiful young man in red who slowly walked out from behind Shangguan Hongye, with a complicated expression: "Xiao Yanzi, why did you... run out?"
Xiao Yanzi looked at Ming Lanruo with an unpredictable expression, and then looked at King Qin next to him, who had his numb and mute acupuncture points marked, and was glaring at him angrily.
He suddenly smiled coolly: "Xiaoyanzi comes to take care of you while you bathe and fall asleep, which is commonly known as taking care of your bed." This chapter has been completed!
