Shangguan Hongye didn't know why he asked, but he couldn't help but ask.
Is Cang Qiao special in her heart?
Since she no longer set her sights on him, her eyes and tenderness seemed to be only for that eunuch.
Why?
Just because that eunuch is her uncle? But she clearly hated Cang Qiao before!
Ming Lanruo looked at him coldly and withdrew her hand: "I hate anyone who threatens me or touches me."
These high-ranking men all have a problem: they always like to touch other people's bodies without permission.
Shangguan Hongye took a deep breath and clenched his fists: "I don't want to quarrel with you. Let's get back to the subject. Don't you want to know why the Duke of Guo was poisoned?"
Ming Lanruo smiled sarcastically: "Isn't it your father, His Majesty's will?"
Shangguan Hongye was suffocated. In fact, after receiving his father's order, he was not without suffering in his heart.
"I know that my father is sorry for the Duke of the country and I can't forgive you, but my father is the son of the emperor. If you want my subjects to die, I have to die. You can't use this tone to talk about my father. If outsiders hear it, you will live."
No." He sighed deeply.
Ming Lanruo played with the tea cup in her hand, her face becoming more and more mocking: "Isn't the only outsider here, His Highness the King of Qin?"
If you want me to die, I have to die, ha...
nausea!
Why should her relatives sacrifice themselves for an evil, cruel, and suspicious king?
Shangguan Hongye frowned: "Am I not your outsider? You are my legitimate wife! My father's secret decree is - on the way back, only one of you and Duke Ming will survive. Do you think I don't want to protect the country?"
My father-in-law and you?"
He looked at Ming Lanruo with ardent eyes: "I don't want to sacrifice a good minister, let alone you. As long as you give birth to a legitimate prince, you will truly become a member of my Shangguan royal family and erase the marks of the Xiao family and the Ming family. Father, the emperor
I will definitely accept you and the Duke!"
The father is still worried about Lan Ruo, simply because Lan Ruo has an unruly personality and is not like an ordinary noble girl, and she is not pregnant with his child.
Ming Lanruo looked at Shangguan Hongye and suddenly realized that this man really wanted her and her father to live.
This discovery made Ming Lanruo's eyes a little complicated. He was a real villain, from his previous life to this life.
But he does have the appearance of an emperor.
She lowered her eyes and suddenly asked coldly: "Do you know why, as the head of a noble family, my father would rather not have a legitimate son? Just to reassure His Majesty."
Her father sacrificed too much to keep her.
She chuckled: "And from the beginning, I was Princess Mourning on the royal jade plate, but His Majesty seems to have been worried about it."
Shangguan Hongye was silent for a while, then looked at her deeply: "In your heart, Cang Qiao is yours, because he has been protecting you."
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it?"
Shangguan Hongye suddenly asked: "Have you never thought that just because he cares about you too much, he has violated my father's taboo? In my father's heart, whether he is a sword, an eagle, a dog, or a human, Cang Qiao can only be exclusive to him.
private property."
Ming Lanruo's eyes suddenly became sharp: "What do you want to say?"
What did he discover?
Shangguan Hongye said calmly: "Cang Qiao's power was given by my father. My father relies on him. In my father's heart, the most important person in him can only be my father, not you, otherwise my father will not think of it."
I want to kill you."
This is one of the reasons why my father has always hated Ming Lanruo.
Ming Lanruo sneered: "Then what? What do you want to say?"
Shangguan Hongye looked at her deeply: "Stay away from him, otherwise you will harm him and yourself."
He paused and then said: "I will never harm the Duke, but I can't stop my father. You know, consummating the marriage with me and giving birth to my legitimate son can resolve my father's resentment towards the Xiao family."
fundamental way.”
Only giving birth to the blood of the Xiao family and the Shangguan family is the fundamental way to resolve hatred and suspicion.
