The man ignored her and turned back to close the study door.

Uh, it’s still closed!

This posture is to...

Qing Ning clenched her palms and could clearly hear her heartbeat "thumping, thumping", each sound stronger than the last.

The man walked to the desk, lifted the corner of his robe, and sat down.

Qing Ning lowered her head and didn't hear the other party's voice for a long time. Then she raised her eyes and looked over. She found that the man's eyes were falling on her. She took a shaky breath and quickly lowered her head.

"Tell me, why did you tear off Miss Ji Er's sleeves?" he finally said.

Qing Ning was startled, not expecting him to ask this.

So, are you here to seek justice for the heroine?

"My slave didn't do it on purpose. I was about to fall down. I instinctively wanted to grab something to prevent myself from falling. Unexpectedly...I didn't expect that I tore off Miss Ji Er's sleeves."

"Really?" the man sneered, "But why did the king see that you had fallen to the ground, and then tried his best to reach out and pull the sleeves of Miss Ji Er?"

Xiang Qingning was stunned.

is that so?

maybe.

The situation was so urgent at that time that she had only one thought in her mind: she must tear off Ji Wanqing's sleeves to let him discover the injury on her arm, and she had no time to care about the order of falling and pulling.

So, are you questioning her motives? Do you suspect that she deliberately exposed Ji Wanqing's injuries?

How to answer?

My mind is racing and my mind is thinking rapidly.

He did not recognize Ji Wanqing on the spot, and even stopped Ji Wanqing's words. Now he asked her to come to the study alone for questioning, and even closed the door. This shows that this matter is somewhat sensitive, or in other words, he

Don't want others to know.

You can only act stupid.

She smiled excitedly and shyly: "I didn't expect the prince to be so careful. The slave himself didn't realize whether he fell first and then pulled, or whether he pulled first and then dropped. However, the prince was very aware of everything and noticed every move of the slave."

man:"......"

"Don't you understand human language?" he asked in a deep voice.

Xiang Qingning wanted to reply to him, "Are you human?" but she didn't dare.

She immediately suppressed her smile and looked at him innocently, as if she didn't know where she was wrong.

"You only need to answer my question! Why? Why did you tear off Miss Ji Er's sleeves?"

"My slave has returned. It's just a mistake. It's really a mistake. Why doesn't the prince believe me? I have never lied to the prince, never before, and never will in the future. I can swear to God, if there is even a word of lie, I will not lie to you."

Your Majesty, just...let this servant die alone in this life, never meet the Prince again in the next reincarnation, go up to the blue sky and fall into the underworld, and never see the Prince again in all eternity."

The corners of the man's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, as if he had a headache.

He raised his sleeves at her and said: "Forget it, go away. The Queen Mother kept you here to assist Zhong Li in investigating the wet nurse case. Now that the matter is over, you can go back."

ah?

Qing Ning was shocked.

Let her return to the palace?

How can that work?

How can he and Ji Wanqing change their fate once they return to the palace? How can she return to modern times?

No, it's out of reach in the palace. You have to be by his side to have a chance!

"Your Majesty, I don't want to go back to the palace. I just want to stay in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I can work as a cow or a horse. I just don't want to go back. I want to..."

Before Qing Ning finished speaking, the man had already stood up, ignored her, and walked straight towards the door as if she hadn't heard anything.
