Shangguan Hongye looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with very clear features, and held his hand with a smile on his red lips.
His eyes moved slightly and he looked affectionate: "Lan Ruo, I knew you couldn't forget me...ah!!"
The next moment, he couldn't help but jerked his wrist back and screamed in pain.
Ming Lanruo slowly wiped off the tiny bits of skin and blood on her nails with a handkerchief: "Why do you men always like to pinch people's chins? It hurts, do you know?"
"You...!" Shangguan Hongye looked at the scarlet bloodstains on the back of his hand that were severely dug by nails, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
But he still suppressed his anger and gestured to the killers who were about to rush out to retreat.
Ming Lanruo stood up and taunted: "Your Highness, King Qin, if I remember correctly, your princess suddenly suffered a miscarriage in the past two days. She was too weak to survive. You are in the mood to flirt with men and women here."
Shangguan Hongye, a cold-blooded man, was still in the mood to seduce his pregnant wife after she died. How disgusting!
"If it weren't for you, how could she die?" Shangguan Hongye stared at her sinisterly.
Although he had no feelings for the hastily married and low-status princess, his mother said that since his father began to suspect that they had disloyal intentions, the child who aroused his suspicion could not be kept.
There will always be a legitimate son, but he can only let his wife have a miscarriage, and who knows that the woman will also die.
Ming Lanruo said coldly: "Don't blame others for the cruel things you have done for your own interests. His Highness the King of Qin will think about it carefully. At the latest, you will send someone out tomorrow."
Shangguan Hongye sneered unwillingly: "Aren't you afraid that this king will kill your father as well?"
Ming Lanruo looked at Shangguan Hongye as if he were a fool: "Do you think that after my father is dead, your people or you will be able to get the support of the civilian officials in North Korea and China?"
Why did the prince just cut off his father's legs but not kill him?
It's because even if his father is dead, no one can be as responsive as his father in the civil service, so he still needs his father to be alive for the time being.
It's not that Shangguan Hongye didn't know this truth, but he was momentarily angry at Ming Lanruo's threat to him and blurted out the harsh words.
At this moment, being ridiculed by Ming Lanruo, his face became even more ugly: "Ming Lanruo..."
Ming Lanruo smiled slightly: "You don't have to be angry. My father is alive and will not harm you at all. If you think about it, send someone to mourn the prince's palace tonight."
After saying that, she gave King Qin a blessing and said, "Farewell."
Looking at Ming Lanruo's retreating figure, Shangguan Hongye narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Your Highness King Qin, what the eldest lady of the Ming family said makes sense." A middle-aged male voice sounded slightly dry and hoarse.
Shangguan Hongye sat down, his handsome face calmed down: "Mr. Bai, sit down."
A man who looked like a middle-aged scholar walked in from the next room, sat down and started making tea——
"Ming Guogong is the head of the Hanlin Academy. If he is alive, the prince will not be able to gain support from the civil servants beyond him. If he dies, the civil servants will each look for their own master. This will give the prince an opportunity to cultivate his own power."
Shangguan Hongye sneered: "Both my mother's family and I were born as military officers, so we are not as popular among civil servants as my hypocritical and literary eldest brother."
But my father was suspicious. After he stopped fighting, he had already lost his military power.
And those civil servants were sharp-tongued and very influential. He couldn't let them completely defect to Shangguan Zhou!
But asking him to listen to that dead girl Ming Lanruo made him so unhappy that he wanted to kill someone.
Mr. Bai looked at his lord's gloomy expression, suddenly touched the beard at the corner of his lips and said quietly: "Actually, your people can completely expose that it was His Highness the Crown Prince who sent people to attack the Duke. Then you are not only the benefactor who saved him
,and......"
"Moreover, from now on, Duke Ming will be afraid of and even hate the prince! Mr. Bai is worthy of being the number one counselor around me, hahaha!" Shangguan Hongye's eyes flashed with light, and he patted Mr. Bai on the shoulder and laughed.
Mr. Bai asked with a smile: "Your Highness has made a decision in his heart, so do you need to send a message to the eldest lady of the Ming family tonight for you?"
"Let's do it. We will select the best from the government to go to the Northeast tonight. We can't let Duke Ming fall into anyone's hands and protect him!" Shangguan Hongye looked at the boiling purple clay teapot and felt much better.
"Yes!" Mr. Bai bowed.
Shangguan Hongye suddenly asked again: "Can the hard life of being married to a dead man, giving birth alone, and being imprisoned for four years make a stupid woman become scheming?"
When did Ming Lanruo, a woman who was full of love and love and focused on herself, become like this?
