Nangong Lie was the only one sitting in front of the long dining table, while Xia Lan and Xian'er stood aside thinking about their own concerns.
The guards delivered the day's newspapers as usual, and Xia Lan quickly snatched them over and looked through them nervously. She clearly remembered what Fei Sijue said yesterday. God knows what earth-shattering things he would do!
The newspapers were full of news about the termination of business relations between the Jiufang and Fengren families last night. There was neither fighting nor riots, and the world was peaceful. She frowned in confusion, turned around, and carefully read the above
After reading the reports about Jiufang's family, she discovered a detail.
Jiu Fangming is a smart man, and his business acumen is unparalleled. How could he cut off his wealth because of historical issues with the Fengren family? Isn't it strange that it happened so suddenly?
Unless, someone is supporting him behind the scenes! Moreover, this person's financial resources must exceed that of the Fengren family, and even have more power than the two families combined! Only in this way can Jiufang Ming be moved, and he will come forward, and that person will naturally
of retreating into the background...
If you think about it this way, everything that is impossible becomes possible.
Xia Lan shook his head and laughed. To be able to find Jiufang Ming as a helper in such a short period of time, he must have put in a lot of effort.
Staring at her smiling face, Nangong Lie's charming and charming face had an imperceptible touch.
"You are so lucky to have two beauties dining with you."
Hearing this unpleasant voice, Xia Lan's face immediately became serious, and he and Xian'er protected Nangong Lie behind him.
Xia Lan raised her lips and smiled, "Xian'er, please remember to tell Mingzhe later that our Thousand Charm Palace needs to put up a sign saying 'Let's cool down while waiting'."
Xian'er responded expressionlessly, "Yeah."
Nangong Mo chuckled lightly, his leather boots hitting the ground, making a sonorous and powerful sound. He sat at the other end of the dining table, crossed his arms, raised the corners of his lips at 45 degrees, looked past the two of them, and looked directly at Nangong Lie behind him, "Hey
, how does it feel to hide behind a woman? It must be wonderful, right?" After saying that, he laughed openly and said while laughing, "I really envy you, Lie, you can live so comfortably and unrestrainedly. I am not as good as you.
Now, I have to help His Majesty with state affairs and take charge of family affairs. I am really busy."
Xia Lan narrowed her eyes in hatred and suddenly strode away.
Nangong Mo glanced at her with cold eyes, "Why? Stand up for him? Haha, Nangong Lie, Nangong Lie, you are still the patriarch of the Nangong family, and you actually need a woman to protect you."
Ignoring his resistance, Xia Lan stood in front of him and grabbed his hand without warning...
Nangong Mo was stunned, "You..."
Nangong Lie's gaze instantly became sinister and horrifying, his evil eyes set off a violent storm, and before Nangong Mo could react, he rushed over and punched him hard in the face.
"Pfft..." Nangong Mo couldn't dodge and was hit hard. He spurted out a mouthful of blood. He opened his mouth again and spit out two teeth. His eyes widened in disbelief, "You——"
Xia Lan closed her eyes, stepped back casually, and said in a casual tone, "Oh, what should we do? If His Highness Lie is confused, no one will admit it, and the beating will be in vain. Even if you sue,
It’s no use even going to the Queen!”
Her words seemed to fuel Nangong Lie's arrogance. He grabbed Nangong Mo and punched her one after another.
"Damn it! Come on! Stop this lunatic!" Nangong Mo shouted, wanting to fight back, but he didn't dare to hurt him, so he could only be helpless and beaten. After the guards rushed in, Xian'er blocked them decisively.
There, "Who dares to be rude to His Highness Lie?"
When they saw this scene, the guards looked at each other in confusion. The two highnesses were fighting. Both sides were at fault, so they simply retreated silently and pretended not to see it.
"You guys -" Nangong Mo roared angrily and pushed Nangong Lie violently. He got up in embarrassment. His white shirt was stained with blood, his mouth was full of blood, two front teeth were missing, and his left cheek was hit by his punch.
He was beaten until he was swollen.
"Xia Lan, Nangong Lie, just wait for me! I will never let you go!" After yelling, he stumbled out.
"Haha, I'll wait, I'll definitely wait for you!" Xia Lan raised her eyebrows proudly and looked back at Nangong Lie. He was actually sitting there again, eating breakfast quietly. Xian'er walked over and whispered as he passed by her.
, "Being more insidious, you think you are second, no one dares to think you are number one."
Xia Lan smiled and said, "I take it as a compliment."
The fight between the two highnesses in Qianmei Palace quickly spread throughout the palace. When Yi Su heard this, he was furious and immediately came to Qiankui Palace.
"Did you instigate Lie to fight?" She looked closely at Xia Lan.
Xia Lan was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, "I just asked him to protect me and fight for my dignity."
Yi Su sneered, "Rely on what? Fists? That's something only barbarians can do!"
"Don't forget, the ancestors of the Maha Kingdom were all barbarians. It was they who obtained this land in the most barbaric way that led to the Maha Kingdom today."
"Miss Xia, don't forget your identity, and don't forget who you are talking to!"
Xia Lan smiled, not caring at all, "Your Majesty the Queen, I will still do anything that is good for Lieutenant and beneficial to Lieutenant."
Yi Sui narrowed her sharp eyes and spoke slowly, "It's good for him... I know very well what you are thinking." Slowly, she stared at her and said word by word, "As long as you can take good care of him, let him
He has fully recovered, and perhaps, I will consider accepting Lie's request."
Hearing her tone of voice that was like giving alms, Xia Lan blinked her eyes and asked, "Did I hear correctly?"
Yi Su glanced at her coldly, "Miss Xia, it's best not to overdo your acting."
"Haha, Your Majesty the Queen, the reason why I stay here is entirely for Lie, because I owe him a huge favor. Everything else is nothing to me. I hope my confession has not offended you.
.”
Yi Su had never been rejected like this before. She was so arrogant that she couldn't help but feel angry, but she suppressed her anger and smiled, "Whether you like it or not, this is not up to you."
A bad premonition came to Xia Lan's mind. A good man will not suffer the immediate consequences. There is no need for her to continue to rush into her at this time! After all, Yi Sui is the supreme ruler of this country. Her words can determine life or death. Even if
For the sake of the baby in her belly, she must endure it!
At this moment, Nangong Lie pushed aside the guard at the door and rushed in. Without looking at Yi Su, he directly pulled Xia Lan and walked out.
"Lie! Stop!" Yi Suo's scolding was ignored by him. Her hatred for Xia Lan deepened, and she was toying with the grandson she had worked so hard to cultivate. This woman was really hateful!
However, she is of great use value now. She can contain Lie and that mysterious... Fei Sijue.
