The princess is so sweet and charming that she can't escape if she offends the prince.

Chapter 53
To be honest, Ruan Ning was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

Wasn't it a matter of mutual benefit to speculate on CP before? Why didn't he discuss it with her and just unilaterally clarified it.

*
On the other side, Xiao Lan ran into Pei Jing as soon as he came out of the palace. Thinking of the recent rumors, Pei Jing walked over, put his hand on Xiao Lan's shoulder, and said in a brisk tone:
"I thought you and Ruan Ning were about to have a good time. Why are you saying that you don't have that intention for her now? What's going on?"

Xiao Lan's face was expressionless, and his tone was even a little impatient: "It's just what you heard."

Seeing his expression, Pei Jing hesitated and said: "You... forget it, let's go to your house to talk."

*
Xiao Lan felt heavy in his heart when he thought of what the queen said to him when he entered the palace a few days ago.

In fact, he has seen through the prince's behavior. It is nothing more than monopolizing government affairs and controlling power. Depending on His Majesty's wishes, he is still very tolerant to him. If that's the case, even if he finds out the truth, Your Majesty may not really do anything to the prince.

But just when he told the queen his thoughts, the queen told him a shocking news: the prince's mother and concubine had an affair with her half-brother, and the prince might not be of the emperor's blood at all.

If this is really the case, the prince's actions are deplorable.

*
In a strange atmosphere, the two returned to Prince Wu'an's Mansion. Pei Jing said straight to the point: "You don't really like that girl from the Ruan family, so why are you doing this now? Do you know what people outside will say about her..."

Xiao Lan didn't quite understand this, and subconsciously felt that it would be good for her to break off the relationship with Ruan Ning, so she interrupted Pei Jing and said:

"Wouldn't it be better to explain things clearly that didn't happen in the first place? Besides, my mother will be going to Beijing soon. I don't know what she will think if she hears these rumors."

Pei Jing choked and felt that for the first time he could not understand Xiao Lan's thoughts. He asked again: "By the way, have you told Ruan Ning the results of the investigation you went back to Qingping County?"

Xiao Lan said in a cold tone: "Tell her what to do."

Pei Jing raised his eyebrows: "At least I am in danger because of you."

Xiao Lan: "I gave her money."

Pei Jing: ...He didn't know what to say.While talking, the two walked to the main room. When they saw the people standing inside, Pei Jing's whole face was distorted.

Because they were in the palace, the two of them didn't deliberately lower their voices when they spoke just now. I guess... Pei Jing is a smooth person after all. Seeing Ruan Ning standing in front of him, he asked without leaving any trace:

"When did Miss Ruan come?"

Ruan Ning stood at the door, embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She finally understood the lyrics, "I should be under the car, not in the car."

She thought that even if Xiao Lan didn't have feelings for her, the friendship would always be there. Now when she heard his words, she suddenly felt like a clown.

I didn't expect it to be her own fault.

Ruan Ning glanced at Xiao Lan and saw that he had no intention of speaking. He pointed at the food box next to him with a smile:
"The new products in the store are brought here for you to try. If you have something else to do, I won't disturb the prince."

After saying that, Ruan Ning didn't even plan to wait for Xiao Lan to respond and left him directly.

Xiao Lan's Adam's apple rolled, and her thin lips almost opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say a word.

Pei Jing can't understand him, and he doesn't even intend to be his friend in the future.

He elbowed Xiao Lan and said, "Don't chase her."

Xiao Lan walked into the room without squinting, and said in an indifferent voice: "No need."

That's fine.
