The carriage stopped at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. Feng Zhi took a deep breath and jumped out of the carriage, "Your Highness, we are here."
"Yes." Chu Lan slowly put down the book in his hand and was about to get out of the car, but his sleeve was pulled again.
Chu Lan turned to look at her.
Zhang Qingjiu blinked his eyes, with an innocent look on his face, "As promised, you invited me here, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, not me."
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "You can refuse."
"Then how could Wei Chen let down His Highness?" Zhang Qingjiu laughed immediately, let go of Chu Lan's sleeves and jumped out of the carriage first.
Outside the car curtain, Feng Zhi gritted his teeth after hearing these words and glared at Zhang Qingjiu. What a woman who was so obedient after getting an advantage!
When he was about to help Chu Lan, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
Feng Zhi's body stiffened, and the corners of his mouth trembled twice, "Xiao, Xiao Zhang, what do you want to do?"
"Why not? Let's see if my grandnephew's shoulders are thick." Zhang Qingjiu turned his head and curled his lips with a smile.
Feng Zhi's face turned red instantly, and he had a thousand words in his heart, but it was as if someone was holding his fate in his throat. He didn't know where to start, so he lowered his head and stretched out his hand to help Chu Lan.
Unexpectedly, Chu Lan didn't seem to see his outstretched hand, her eyes swept over Zhang Qingjiu's hand that was resting on his shoulder, and she stepped on the footstool and landed on the ground as if no one was watching.
When Chu Lan walked towards the door of the mansion, Feng Zhi came back to his senses.
Feng Zhi: "???"
Looking at Chu Lan's back, Feng Zhi wanted to cry but had no tears. Did His Highness just ignore him? What did he do wrong?
"For the sake of your safety, don't slander me in your heart next time. Sooner or later, your Royal Highness will be mine, and sooner or later you will have to lean towards me." Zhang Qingjiu smiled so proudly that he sighed with emotion, and flew over.
He stepped forward and grabbed Chu Lan's sleeve, "Your Highness, wait for me..."
After the two people entered the house, a figure wearing white clothes suddenly appeared next to Feng Zhi, with cold eyes and a cold face, "Trash!"
Feng Zhi's eyes instantly became serious, "What did you say?"
"I said you are a waste. You have been with His Highness for so long and you were tricked like this by a woman." The man was dressed as a man, his face was covered by a gauze hat, but his voice sounded like a woman.
"Shui Lan." Feng Zhi narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I respect you as His Highness's secret guard and will not argue with you, but I also advise you to think through some matters."
After saying that, Feng Zhi strode towards the palace, with a look of being a doormat, but not even half of the coldness he had shown in front of Shui Lan just now.
Looking at Feng Zhi's figure, remembering that he had been followed all the way but was repeatedly ordered not to come near by His Highness, Shui Lan's eyes flashed with a touch of loss and pain. Is it true that as Mu Qing said, this woman is under His Highness's control?
Are you feeling different in your heart?
If so, who is she? What should she do?
At some point, a figure came to her side, and a low voice with a sigh sounded, "Why are you standing at the door? Why don't you go in?"
"Mu Qing." Shui Lan took a deep breath, "Do you also think that she is worthy of His Highness?"
"Whether you are worthy or not is never determined by others' opinions, but depends on His Highness's mind. Why don't you understand this truth?" Mu Qing sighed softly.
In the mansion, Huo Wu had already received the news that His Highness the Crown Prince had brought Lord Xiao Zhang back. He quickly stepped forward to greet him, smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, Lord Xiao Zhang."
"Huo Wu, long time no see." Zhang Qingjiu smiled and waved the hand that was not pulling Chu Lan's sleeve.
However, in such a comparison, her motionless hand looked particularly eye-catching. Huo Wu was slightly startled, touched his nose and lowered his head, "It's been a long time no see."
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "Take her there..."
"I'm not going." Before Chu Lan could finish speaking, Zhang Qingjiu frowned and interrupted him, "Last time you asked me to go alone. Are you going to let me go alone this time? What do you say?
This was all built in your house, how could you ignore it like this?"
After saying that, he also shook Chu Lan's sleeves.
Chu Lan raised her eyebrows, took a deep breath, and said, "Let go."
"Don't let go." Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips, "Let go and run away."
Huo Wu turned away secretly. What kind of talk was this? Could he listen to it casually?
After seeing Huo Wu's reaction, Chu Lan sighed softly and finally made a compromise, "Let go, I will go with you."
"You will be punished for lying to me." Zhang Qingjiu hummed.
Huo Wu felt that if he stayed any longer and didn't say anything, he would be silenced sooner or later, so he coughed lightly and said, "Master Xiao Zhang, His Highness the Crown Prince always keeps his word."
"Well, since Huo Wu can guarantee you, I will believe it for the time being." Zhang Qingjiu let go of his hand and smiled happily.
Huo Wu looked at Zhang Qingjiu's cunning look, and felt inexplicably like he was on a pirate ship.
When he was silently told by Chu Lan not to follow him any longer, Huo Wu finally came back to his senses. Had he just been led by someone to sell His Highness the Crown Prince?
