The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

Lu Shiwan nodded. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's just..." She took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.

Then he looked left and right to make sure there was no one around. Then he walked up to Lu Shiwan and whispered a few words.

...

After she finished speaking, seeing that she was not surprised, Xie Jingruan asked in surprise, "Princess Qi, you are not surprised?"

Lu Shiwan shook his head.

"Strange, ordinary people would be surprised, why not you?"

"Because I was surprised." Xie Jingruan widened his eyes.

Surprised yet?

Doesn't that mean she knew it a long time ago?

If she didn't say it today, wouldn't it be...

"When did you hear it?" Xie Jingruan felt a little guilty and slapped her chest in fear. Fortunately, she said it.

"When you were cursing the Second Prince in the alley."

Xie Jingruan was stunned. "So, you didn't hear what we said, but only heard me scolding him?"

"Yes." Lu Shiwan nodded.

Ziyun stood at the side and looked at Xie Jingruan's appearance. It was really hard to associate her with the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.

I couldn't help but mutter, "Miss Xie, she looks more down-to-earth than our princess, and her father can actually be the Shangshu Lord."

After hearing this, Xie Jingruan smiled.

"My father's ability is indeed average, but he's lucky. The position of Shangshu is vacant, and my father is the only one among the candidates. He has the strongest ability, so it's natural that he is the one."

Lu Shiwan curled the corners of his mouth.

"This is all thanks to Fang Zhengxiang, who had evil intentions and harmed others. Therefore, when the emperor selects people this time, he will not only look at their abilities, but also their character."

"Although my father's ability is not as good as many other ministers, he has good character. His colleagues like him and are willing to help him."

She remembered her father saying that the editor of the Hanlin Academy had recommended her father to the emperor, so she thought they must have known each other before.

"If you have time, come to Prince Qi's Mansion to find me. I have something else to do and have to go back."

Looking at the darkening sky, Xie Jingruan was afraid of being scolded if she returned home too late.

So the two of them parted ways here.

After getting on the carriage, Xie Jingruan patted his chest again.

"I was scared to death. Fortunately, I said it out. If I hadn't said it, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Miss, I told you from the beginning that the Second Prince was not a good match, but you just wouldn't listen. Now the situation is even more complicated than it seems."

When Xie Jingruan thought of her previous stupid behavior, she wished she could just bang her head against a wall and die.

"Stop talking, Su Yue, haven't I realized my mistake and returned to the right path?"

Su Yue curled her lips.

"Miss, here we are."

As soon as Xie Jingruan got off the carriage, she was greeted by her father's black face.

She stepped forward guiltily, "Dad."

"Rebellious girl, come in."

Xie Jingruan followed him in fear and entered the house with her maid Su Yue.

The door of the Shangshu Mansion slammed shut, and Shangshu Xie's face changed instantly.

"Oh, my aunt, can you please give your father some face?"

"Don't hang out with the Second Prince all the time. Who is the Second Prince? He is the Emperor's son. I, your father, am just a new minister."

"Do you really think the emperor would agree to you being with him?"

Xie Jingruan looked at her almost insane father quietly, sighed, and said slowly:

"Dad, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You're not, so you should know that, right?" Minister Xie was stunned.

Is his daughter that stupid?

"I'm just a girl, how would I know about what's going on in the court? If I were to say, it's all your fault. My efforts over the past few months have been wasted." Xie Jingruan looked at her aggrieved father, feeling even more aggrieved than him.

She pinched her thigh secretly, and the pain made her tears come out.

Minister Xie looked at her like this and felt so distressed that he didn't know what to do.

"Don't cry, your mother passed away early, and I am a man, I don't know how to coax people, how about I give you some money? Don't cry?"

Hear the words.

"Okay." Xie Jingruan stopped crying instantly and stretched out her hand with a smile, "Daddy, how much will you give me?"

Minister Xie then took out a silver note from his sleeve and placed it generously in Xie Jingruan's hand.

"Twenty taels!"

Xie Jingruan's eyes were almost full of stars, "Dad, you are much more generous than last time."

"Isn't this because you don't like the Second Prince?"

"Daughter, Daddy tells you that as long as you are obedient, when you get married in the future, Daddy will give you all the money your brother used for his wedding as a dowry, and you will marry along with him."

"Really?"

"Of course, Dad is telling you, the Second Prince is not your ideal match. There is someone else who is your ideal match."

When she heard that her father was going to matchmake her again, Xie Jingruan lifted her skirt and walked towards the mansion.

"Dad, my daughter's feet hurt. I'm going back to rest."

Minister Xie: “…”

Returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.

The more Lu Shiwan thought about Guan Muling, the more he felt something was fishy.

at night.

Lu Shiwan finally waited until Mo Qitian fell asleep, then he quietly got up, changed into night clothes, and then took out some prepared medicine from the space.

Quietly left the house.

Mo Qitian, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Lu Shiwan walked along the roof and quietly came to Guan's house.

At this time in Guan's mansion, many servants were asleep. Apart from the silent chirping of cicadas, the only sound was her own breathing.

According to her memory, she came to Guan Muling's roof.

Then he gently untied the tiles, and instantly a beam of light shot out.

She frowned and looked down.

But Guan Muling was seen sitting at the desk at some point, with her maid Lu Ru serving on both sides.

"Lu Ru, can you find a way to help me deliver this letter?"

Lu Ru took the letter and nodded, "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely deliver it."

"Okay, Lu Ru." Guan Muling held her hand tightly, "Lu Ru, I am a burden to you."

"No, Miss, you have been so kind to me. I am only doing this for you. I am not afraid of death."

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

"Yeah." Lu Ru wiped her tears and hurried out of the room.

Guan Muling put down her pen, stood up with the help of the table, and then walked back to the bed tremblingly.

Success or failure depends on this one move, she cannot fall down, Daddy... still needs her.

She held onto the bed, ready to lie down, when suddenly there was a sound of the door opening. Guan Muling asked in surprise, "Lu Ru, how is it?"

"Ling'er, you didn't sleep late at night, but what's wrong?" Madam Guan walked into the room, her eyes lingered on Guan Muling's slightly flustered face for a moment, then she glanced around, her tone a little stern:

"Where did Lu Ru go? Why isn't she serving you?"

"Mother." Guan Muling was trembling with fear, "Daughter...daughter...ask her to help daughter bring in some water."

"Bringing in some water in the middle of the night?" A hint of coldness flashed in Mrs. Guan's eyes.

"Qiaoxiang, go to the small kitchen and see if Lu Ru is there."

"Yes, ma'am," Qiao Xiang turned around and prepared to go out.

Guan Muling was so scared that she immediately shouted, "No, don't go..."

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Guan Muling explained in a gentle voice: "Mother, it was because I wanted to wash my face that I asked Lu Ru to fetch water."

Mrs. Guan was skeptical, "Really?"

"Yes, mother, I saw that you have been worried about me these days. I couldn't bear to wake you up, so I let Lu Ru go."

When Guan Muling finished saying these words, she was already gasping for breath.

Looking at her pale daughter, Mrs. Guan said nothing more. She took her hand and made the bedding for her.

"It's getting late, go to bed early. Your father has posted a notice for you outside, and there will definitely be a doctor to see you."

"Yeah." Guan Muling closed her eyes.
