"This is Miss Shui Lian'er." Xuan Ningyi walked in with a smile, not feeling ashamed at all for his intrusion.
"Lian'er has met the Fourth Prince," Shui Lian'er bowed and said respectfully, "Four Prince, just call me Lian'er from now on."
"Lian'er, Jingwan's safety will be entrusted to you from now on." Xuan Ningyi said sincerely, pouring a glass of water himself and handing it to Shui Lian'er.
Shocked, Xuan Ningyi dropped the water glass in his hand. Shui Lian'er's face turned red and her eyes drifted away.
"Fourth Prince, doesn't your face hurt?" Murong Jingwan stared at Xuan Ningyi's face apologetically. Ever since she entered the palace, Xuan Ningyi always seemed to have bad luck.
Xuan Ningyi's expression changed slightly. He came back in such a hurry just now that he forgot that there was a mark of his mother's slap on his face. It must be swollen and ugly now.
"Who is so bold as to slap the fourth prince in the face?" Shui Lian'er said teasingly, but was silenced by Murong Jingwan's cold look.
"Your Majesty, please don't contradict your mother and queen again for my sake." Murong Jingwan looked at Xuan Ningyi seriously and said every word.
Xuan Ningyi smiled stupidly and replied: "Not anymore."
His mother-in-law will never beat him again in the future because she is completely disappointed in him as a son. She even threatened her life for a woman.
But even if he loses the world, he cannot lose Murong Jingwan. He believes that one day his mother will understand. Because every mother is the same, she wants her children to be happy.
Shui Lian'er gently withdrew, leaving space for the two people who had been hurt by each other.
She reached out her right hand and touched Xuan Ningyi's face tremblingly. The heat on her face spread to the bottom of her heart along the palm of her hand. There was liquid in her eyes, but a pair of hands gently wiped it away for her.
"Jingwan, I don't like you crying. I like your happy smile all the time." He gently hugged Murong Jingwan into his arms. He knew her pain and her struggle, but he couldn't point it out.
Once that membrane breaks, he won't be able to hold her as tightly as he does now.
After walking out of Murong Jingwan's room, Shui Lian'er wandered around the palace alone.
Why doesn't the palace master like Xuan Ningyi? At least this prince treats the palace master really, unlike Xuan Ningxuan, who only brings endless harm to her.
He couldn't see her efforts, he only had eyes for her sister Murong Jingshu.
Shui Lian'er felt sorry for Murong Jingwan in her heart, but her body accidentally hit a wall of flesh. Shui Lian'er took a few steps back and sat on the ground in embarrassment.
Shui Lian'er couldn't help but wrinkle her face at the pain of her butt suddenly touching the ground.
"Who are you? Do you have no eyes, or are you blind?" Shui Lian'er raised her head and scolded the person in front of her indiscriminately. The man's body blocked the sunlight, and Shui Lian'er couldn't see clearly.
appearance.
"Miss, my eyes are very good. Could it be that you don't have eyes or you are blind and can't see? Also, I didn't hit the lady, but the lady hit me." There was a coldness in the deep voice,
It makes people shudder.
Shui Lian'er quickly got up and raised her hand to give the man a slap, but her hand was pinched hard by the man.
"I bumped into someone and didn't apologize, but I still wanted to hit them. Isn't it too uneducated, Miss?" Lin Ruihan asked Shui Lian'er word by word.
"You..." Shui Lian'er was so angry that she couldn't utter a word. Except for Murong Jingwan, she had never been afraid of anyone.
The two stared at each other hatefully, neither willing to give in.
"Ruihan, why are you so familiar with a little girl?" Xuan Ningyi and Murong Jingwan walked out of the room together and saw this scene.
Shui Lian'er threw away Lin Ruihan's hand bitterly, looked at the pinched wrist with tears in her eyes, and secretly swore in her heart, "You can't be a gentleman if you don't avenge this!"
Shui Lian'er suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Ruihan. He was Lin Ruihan, the general with military power, the man who even Murong Jingwan found troublesome.
Lin Ruihan's eyes rested on the person behind Xuan Ningyi, who was the woman he saw in the Nine Princes' Palace. It turned out that the rumors were not false, and Xuan Ningyi really took her back to the palace.
"Jingwan has met General Lin." Murong Jingwan leaned forward and said softly.
"No need." Lin Ruihan said coldly, frowning at Murong Jingwan, with an ominous feeling in his heart. This woman will bring disaster to Xuan Ningyi. I saw her wit in the Ninth Prince's Mansion that day, she will
People are being poisoned by her unknowingly.
She had expected Lin Ruihan's unkindness. Murong Jingwan turned to look at Xuan Ningyi with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, General Lin must have something to do with you. Lian'er and I will not disturb you!"
Shui Lian'er glared at Lin Ruihan hatefully, and then quickly followed Murong Jingwan who was walking towards the room.
He looked thoughtfully at the departing figure with a solemn expression on his face.
"Yi, leave her as soon as possible, she will destroy you." Looking up at Xuan Ningyi, Lin Ruihan persuaded her kindly.
Reaching out and patting Lin Ruihan's shoulder gently, Xuan Ningyi said nonchalantly: "Ruihan, you underestimate me too much. How could I lose to others so easily?"
Knowing that it would be useless to talk more, Lin Ruihan could only helplessly shake his head towards Xuan Ningyi.
"Ruihan, why are you free to come to me today?" Xuan Ning changed the topic without leaving any trace, not wanting Lin Ruihan to be obsessed with Murong Jingwan.
There was a solemn expression on his face and he didn't speak. It was not suitable to talk about such important things outside.
Knowing that the situation was serious, Xuan Ningyi and Lin Ruihan walked towards the study with a solemn expression.
The two people were in a hurry and didn't notice the gazes coming from the window.
Murong Jingwan frowned slightly, wondering if there was something else she hadn't found out.
Shui Lian'er, who was still angry, didn't notice anything strange about Murong Jingwan until Murong Jingwan called her name.
"Lian'er." Murong Jingwan looked at Shui Lian'er solemnly.
"Miss, what are you going to do?" With just one look, Shui Lian'er understood what Murong Jingwan was thinking.
Murong Jingwan smiled faintly and said word by word: "Find a reason for you to break into the study!"
He nodded clearly and followed Murong Jingwan out of the room.
Shui Lian'er followed Murong Jingwan to a lotus pond. Looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the pond, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Murong Jingwan's mouth. She couldn't help but think of that day, when the lotus flowers were blooming in the Xuanningxuan Palace.
What happened by the pool.
She saved Jasmine but was framed instead. That was the first time Xuan Ningxuan hurt her. She couldn't remember because he hurt her too much.
The breeze blew over the lotus pond, bringing bursts of fragrance. Murong Jing closed her eyes happily and leaned forward slowly.
The first time I jumped into the lotus pond was to save someone, the second time I jumped into the lotus pond was to get information, but all of these were actually for Xuan Ningxuan.
