Mutan hesitated for a moment, then chose a way to comfort his master's injured pride: "I heard that the eldest lady suffered a lot in Mourning Palace, and you never helped her. Didn't she also admit in front of His Majesty that you had done something wrong to you?"
Love begets hate..."
That was the excuse Ming Lanruo made casually to dispel Emperor Ming's suspicion of her when she met the Holy Spirit for the first time after being released from confinement.
But how can outsiders know the inside story?
Shangguan Hongye thought about it again at this moment and couldn't help but frown: "Then she is too petty. What man can tolerate his woman having someone else's child!"
What's more, at that time, he only thought Ming Lanruo was a fool.
She was almost destined to have a bad end when she was sent to a ghost marriage. He would be crazy to get involved in her affairs.
Mutan was very puzzled: "The strangest thing is that five years ago she liked you and would drug you and crawl into His Highness's bed, but the Prince, His Highness and her were all drunk in that restaurant, and in the end, she would rather die than
Refusing to acknowledge that the child belongs to the Crown Prince or any of you will completely anger His Majesty."
Shangguan Hongye fell into deep thought: "The restaurant was owned by Ming Lanruo at that time, and there were no outsiders. According to the prince's virtue, he was his child. In order to get the support of Ming Guogong, he had already happily married her. It can be seen that the child
Not his."
So, who is Ming Lanruo’s child?
Mutan looked tentatively at Shangguan Hongye: "Your Highness, how much did you drink that night five years ago? Do you really remember nothing?"
Shangguan Hongye retorted angrily: "I am not a child who has never slept with a woman. Although the woman drugged me, she never slept with me. How can I not know... Well."
But at the end of the day, he didn't know why he felt a little unsure.
"Miss Ming has great medical skills. The medicine she gave to the wine may have caused amnesia and insomnia. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't remember anything..." Mutan muttered.
Shangguan Hongye became more and more irritated by what he said. He clenched his fists: "According to you, this child is either mine or the prince's?"
Before he passed out, there were only a few people present. They couldn't be Mutan or the little eunuch beside the prince. They were all sent outside the restaurant.
When he opened his eyes, the incident had already happened. People from Dongchang surrounded the restaurant, and he didn't even know what happened.
Shangguan Hongye narrowed his eyes: "No matter who it is, now, in order to solve the mother's dilemma, we must marry Ming Lanruo."
If it turns out that the child is the best for him in the future, if it is the prince's, he will keep it, and when he grows up in the future, he will send it away far away.
Although he hates the prince, it is not to the extent that he cannot tolerate an illegitimate child with no status.
Mutan sighed: "Do you think Nine Thousand Years Old will marry his niece to you?"
Shangguan Hongye froze and snorted coldly: "Methods are thought up by people. If Minglan is willing, what can he, an unrelated uncle, do?"
...
As soon as Ming Lanruo left the Queen's Palace, Chunming immediately followed silently.
Seeing that her young lady looked unhappy, she didn't ask any questions.
The two got on the carriage and went all the way back to Prince Mou's Mansion.
As the night got darker and it was almost time for dinner, Eunuch Qi led people to bring many things over, including ten boxes of silks and satins, including various jewelry.
Ming Lanruo finished reading and took all the orders, but she just said to Qi Gonggong: "Thank you very much."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to go back to her room.
Eunuch Qi was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice: "My eldest lady, the governor is also doing it for your own good. What he said may not be acceptable, but you are indeed reckless, please don't be angry."
