Jiang Chi said meaningfully: "Let the Yongning Marquis kneel outside the door, and Zhu Xianzhi be hung upside down on the tree. When it gets dark, we will do His Royal Highness Prince An a favor and play pot tossing."

"Hey hey hey..." Jiang Chi pulled Princess July and ran away. Princess July said in confusion, "Just let that bastard Zhu Xianzhi scold you and Sister Lin for nothing? How can we let this matter go?"

Princess July pouted and said, "I will write a letter to the Empress Dowager, saying that Zhu Xianzhi bullied me and I will drag him to the Meridian Gate and behead him."

Princess July has been pampered in the palace for so many years. Even the Empress and Concubine Chen have to give her some face when they see her. Her status and position is three times more noble than that of the princesses in the harem.

When was she bullied?

However, although Princess July is a bit willful and capricious, she is different depending on the person. As long as she approves and likes someone, she can just laugh it off no matter what the other person does or says, as long as it is not too outrageous.

Once she finds someone she dislikes, she won't be able to have a good word with him even if he kneels down and flatters her.

Jiang Chi turned around and smiled brightly at Princess July. This smile made Princess July stunned for a moment, and her feet seemed to be bewitched by Jiang Chi and she ran after him.

Therefore, Princess July did not hear Jiang Chi say, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as His Royal Highness Prince An understands."

Seeing An Wang Chao nodded slightly, Jiang Chi quickened his pace. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from their sight with Princess July.

Prince An ordered Master Jing'an and the guard commander Xiao Meng to each send one person to keep an eye on Marquis Yongning and Zhu Xianzhi outside the gate of Jingfu Temple.

With nothing else to do, Prince An invited Lin Luoling to play chess in Jingxinyuan.

When it was getting dark, Dou Tong came to Jingxinyuan carrying two food boxes. He put the food boxes down, turned around and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Lin Luoling put away the chessboard, and Prince An had already placed plates of exquisite dishes on the stone table. Although the two of them rarely talked, they just played chess and ate together quietly, which made the time peaceful.

After dinner, when Dou Tong came to get the food box, he reminded Prince An, "Marquis Yongning is still kneeling outside the gate of Jingfu Temple, and Zhu Xianzhi is hanging upside down on a tree. I don't know if he is drunk or fainted."

Prince An snorted coldly, obviously mocking Zhu Xianzhi for being weak and incompetent, and waved his hand at Dou Tong and said, "You can definitely hear what Jiang Chi said with your hearing ability, so do as he says."

Dou Tong nodded and said, "Yes, sir!" Then he disappeared into the night carrying two food boxes.

Not long after, Dou Tong came back to report, "Marquis Yongning has been sent away. Marquis Yongning kowtowed repeatedly at the gate of Jingfu Temple in gratitude, saying that he was grateful for the prince's forgiveness."

Dou Tong didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense. He turned around and walked into the bamboo forest.

Lin Luoling thought that Dou Tong would report to Prince An in detail how Yongning Hou rescued Zhu Xianzhi who was hanging upside down on the tree, and how he took Zhu Xianzhi away...

In the end, Dou Tong didn't say a word, and before she could ask, Dou Tong disappeared.

Prince An saw Lin Luoling's curiosity, rubbed Lin Luoling's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Why do you need to know so much? As masters, we only need to order them to do things and get the results we want. As for the process, is it so important?"

Lin Luoling thought: How can it not be important? Zhu Xianzhi was hung upside down so high. If he fell from the tree and landed on his head first, he would be almost dead if he didn't become stupid.

On second thought, if Zhu Xianzhi was really thrown like that, Dou Tong would definitely report it to Prince An.

Unconsciously, Lin Luoling was tinged with a look of loss.

In Prince An's eyes, he mistakenly thought that Lin Luoling had not let go of Zhu Xianzhi. After all, Lin Luoling married Zhu Xianzhi, so how could it be possible for her to say that she didn't have Zhu Xianzhi in her heart?

Prince An put his hands behind his back and rubbed his fingers. He thought for a moment and said, "Did Yu'er go too far in whipping Zhu Xianzhi?"

Lin Luoling raised her head slightly, looked at Prince An and said, "Where did I go wrong? He deserves to be beaten. If possible, I would rather be the one to whip Zhu Xianzhi."

"You hate Zhu Xianzhi? Because of Rong Shuhua?"

Lin Luoling frowned slightly and said, "I do hate Zhu Xianzhi, but not because of Rong Shuhua."

Having already divorced Zhu Xianzhi, Lin Luoling had nothing to hide, and she told Prince An in a concise and to the point manner about her hatred for the Yongning Marquisate.

After hearing this, Prince An said, "Before your wedding, since you knew they were deceiving you, you could have just asked for a divorce and not married into the Yongning Marquis's mansion. Why did you have to go to that den of tigers and wolves? What if you got yourself involved? What would you do then?"

Lin Luoling sighed and said, "I can't let my parents change their minds just because of a dream of mine. What's more, Zhu Xianzhi and I were already officially married at that time. If I suddenly don't want to get married, how can the Yongning Marquis' Mansion agree?

Besides, if I don't personally deal with Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Xianzhi, how can I relieve the hatred in my heart?"

Prince An thought about it carefully. At that time, Lin Luoling and Zhu Xianzhi had official media records. If Lin Luoling suddenly proposed not to marry Zhu Xianzhi, she had no real evidence, and it would be Lin's fault for not educating her daughter well.

With the despicable behavior of Yongning Hou and Zhu Xianzhi, the common people in the streets and alleys of Xuzhou would definitely think that Lin Luoling had an affair with another man before her wedding to Zhu Xianzhi.

Moreover, Lin suddenly proposed without any basis that Lin Luoling and Zhu Xianzhi should divorce. Yongning Hou and Zhu Xianzhi would not only ask for the sixty-six loads of dowry, but also more benefits as compensation.

Even if they get the benefits, they will not say a good word about Lin. Instead, they will ruin Lin Luoling's reputation and make it impossible for Lin Luoling to marry anyone in her life.

Thinking of this, Prince An looked at Lin Luoling with eyes full of heartache, not knowing how to comfort her. He just wanted to hold Lin Luoling in his arms and tell her: Don't be afraid in the future, I will protect you in everything.

Prince An leaned forward slightly and placed a kiss on Lin Luoling's forehead.

Lin Luoling realized it later. When she reacted, Prince An had already disappeared. She vaguely remembered Prince An saying to her: "In the future, I will protect you with all my heart..."

What else did he say? She was confused for a moment and didn't hear clearly.

Her forehead and cheeks were burning hot, even though Lin Luoling and Zhu Xianzhi were husband and wife in their previous life.

But Zhu Xianzhi had never kissed her forehead. At that time, under the moonlight, for some reason, she felt a sense of unreality, as if in a dream. Prince An was like an immortal who had been banished from the Moon Palace to the mortal world, with a layer of silver light all over his body.

Lin Luoling stood in the yard for a long time, her whole body extremely stiff. After half an hour, she could still hear her heart pounding. The burning sensation in her cheeks not only did not fade away, but it became even more intense because the scene of Prince An kissing her forehead kept appearing in her mind.

……

The next day, Prince An came to Jingxinyuan just after breakfast. The moment he saw Lin Luoling, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night.

When the princes of Tianqi Kingdom were fifteen years old, there would be tutors in the palace who would select a few good-looking and quiet girls and secretly teach them how to teach the princes about love between men and women.

Because Prince An pretended to be sick, Emperor Deshun was also afraid that the women secretly selected by the Empress and Concubine Chen would take the opportunity to harm Prince An.

Therefore, Prince An had never experienced sexual intercourse between men and women, and he didn't know why he lost control so much yesterday and kissed Lin Luoling on the forehead. After he came to his senses, he left in a hurry.

Prince An coughed twice to ease the embarrassment. He did not dare to look into Lin Luoling's eyes and said, "Follow me to the back mountain. There is something you want to see."
