When Luo Nianxi brought Leng Yiyan back to Prince Yan's Mansion from the palace, it was almost dusk.

When he returned to his room, he muttered unabashedly,

"I think Leng Yicheng discovered something?"

"what?"

Luo Nianxi, who was taking off his coat, suddenly became alert.

"Why do you say that?"

"He dropped that piece of pork rib on purpose..."

This sentence reminded Luo Nianxi, and her hands, which were unbuttoning her clothes, paused for a moment.

"You mean, he's testing you on purpose?"

"Yes, he was testing me on purpose. He must have noticed something. I feel more and more that he is the one who wants to harm me."

Leng Yiyan's words made Luo Nianxi nod in agreement.

"Well, I met several princes today, and he was the only one who looked at you with a covetous expression. I also think he can't stand you being well, but you have no evidence, and he is the crown prince. You should only talk to me in private, and never mention it to anyone else."

"I know, but don't worry, when I can really stand up again, I will find evidence of his conspiracy against me, and I will avenge my previous shame..."

Seeing the determination and unwillingness in his eyes, Luo Nianxi nodded with empathy.

"I understand how you feel..."

"You... sing a really nice little song, and you play the pipa music beautifully..."

When he said this, his face suddenly turned red for no reason.

He had never felt this way before, and he had never praised any woman before.

A smug smile appeared on Luo Nianxi's lips.

"That's right. I also got a pipa. By the way, is that Wanzhu Fairy really that magical?"

"I don't know about this. The Eighth Prince is more interested in music and other things. But after this incident, the Eighth Prince will become a frequent visitor to Prince Yan's Mansion."

"Why?"

"Because of the song you sang, and the pipa you played..."

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. By the way, I only saw the Eighth Uncle today. Why didn't I see the Eighth Aunt?"

"He has no wife..."

"What? He looks to be in his forties, why doesn't he have a wife?"

"I don't know about that either. By the way, when will you treat my leg?"

Looking at his expectant eyes, she couldn't help but smile.

"You don't doubt me anymore?"

"I doubt it, but my hands can move. This is true. I really have too many things to do. I really want to stand up..."

Seeing how eager he was, Luo Nianxi frowned and pondered for a while before nodding solemnly.

"Okay, I'll make some arrangements in the next few days. With the experience of treating your hands last time, it will be faster to treat your legs this time. You are tired today, I will help you to bed..."

"Let's call Ling Xiao in!"

"You forgot that you can use your own hands to support yourself. Come, let me support you..."

As he spoke, he climbed onto the edge of the bed with both hands. She helped him stand up from the wheelchair, slowly turned to the bedside, and then sat down with great effort...

This simple action made him sweat profusely, but the moment he sat down, he suddenly grinned.

Luo Nianxi didn't ask him why he was laughing. She helped him lie down, tucked in the quilt for him, and whispered:

"Go to sleep first, I have something to deal with."

"Where are you going?"

He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her.

"What's going on with the clothes? Was it Leng Rujing who did it?"

She winked at him slyly.

"You also think there's something wrong with my clothes?"

He looked at the two exquisitely embroidered canes on her sleeves, frowning with a melancholy look.

"Leng Rujing dared to bring it up in front of everyone, it must not be groundless. My mother must have said that to protect you..."

"It's already been determined that Leng Rujing is the mastermind behind this, but she won't do it herself. I want to find out who did it now."

"If anyone in the mansion dares to do this, you can deal with him as you wish..."

She tucked the quilt in for him again.

"I will take care of this matter, you can sleep well!"

Leaving this sentence, she turned and walked towards the door.

His lips moved and then closed again.

He wanted to say: He will protect her well in the future, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

In his current state, he couldn't even protect himself, so how could he protect her?

He just prayed silently in his heart, no matter what, as long as she was not hurt, that was enough.

The main hall of Prince Yan's Palace

Bai Lan came hurriedly to report,

"Princess, I have found out that your clothes have been kept in Qingfeng Pavilion since they were delivered. During this period, more than a dozen servants have entered Qingfeng Pavilion, including two maids who have entered alone. I have summoned these two people to you. Please interrogate them yourself!"

"Bai Lan, you can just do the interrogation of this girl. I just want the result."

Bai Lan understood the look in her eyes.

For her, who knew a little bit of Kung Fu, interrogating two girls was no problem at all.

"Okay, slave, let's go now."

After leaving these words, Bai Lan turned and left. Luo Nianxi looked at the door quietly. She didn't want to waste time torturing the two girls, so she let Bai Lan do it!

This time, Leng Rujing stayed directly in the palace. After what happened during the day, she probably wouldn't come to Prince Yan's Mansion for a while, and she didn't know whether Mo Xiaowan would come again.

Thinking of Leng Yiyan standing up and reconciling with Mo Xiaowan, her brows suddenly tightened.

Although she felt that this had nothing to do with her, she and Leng Yiyan shared the same bed after all. Even if they were not husband and wife in reality, they were husband and wife in name only.

Will Leng Yiyan and Mo Xiaowan reconcile?

She admitted that she was very conflicted at the moment and even started to get irritated...

About half an incense stick of time had passed before Bai Lan hurried back.

"Princess, Xiao Cui confessed. Princess Rujing asked her to do it."

Hearing Xiao Cui's name, Luo Nianxi couldn't help but chuckle.

In fact, she had guessed long ago that this matter was most likely done by Xiao Cui. In the entire Prince Yan's Mansion, she was the only one who always tried to please Leng Rujing.

Now that it has been confirmed, she calmly instructed Bai Lan:

"Give her twenty strokes of the cane, pay her wages, and send her out of the house!"

"Princess, are you going to let her go so easily?"

"This incident didn't cause any serious consequences. She was just a girl who was trying to curry favor with the powerful. As long as you don't see her, just pretend that this incident never happened!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chuntao ran in.

"Princess, that Xiao Cui is clamoring to see Princess Rujing, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi's face darkened. She stood up from her seat and walked straight to the door.

When Xiao Cui saw her, she immediately started to shout proudly,

"You dare to hit me? You are so brave. Let me tell you, the princess said she would take me to the palace. If anyone hits me, I will definitely hit you twice as hard, no, ten times as hard. The princess will not let you go."

Her self-righteous words made Luo Nianxi want to laugh. This girl really thought she was of great use to Leng Rujing.

"Xiao Cui, I originally wanted to let you go because you are an illiterate girl, but you actually wanted the princess to rescue you. You really overestimate your own abilities."

"Humph! You, a concubine buried with the king, what right do you have to say that to me? When I enter the palace and become successful in the future, I will definitely not let you go..."

"Snapped!"

Before she could finish her words, Bai Lan slapped her in the face and then roared,

"You little bitch, you should sew your mouth shut for daring to speak to the princess like that."

Blood instantly flowed out of Xiao Cui's mouth, but she raised her head without fear.

"Bai Lan, I will remember you. If you dare to hit me today, I will definitely pay you back tenfold in the future."

"Bang! Twenty times..."

"Bang! Thirty times..."

"Bang! Forty times..."

"..."

Bai Lan slapped her face more than a dozen times in succession, then shook her red hands, turned around and said to Luo Nianxi:

"Princess, I have taught this girl a lesson for you. Do you want to kick her out of the house now?"

Luo Nianxi half-closed her eyes and looked at Xiao Cui, who was still full of arrogance, and suddenly snorted coldly.

"Since she thinks the princess will save her, then send someone to send her to the palace gate tomorrow, and then tell the princess that this girl deliberately cut my clothes and I have punished her. Let's see if the princess will still want her."

After saying this, she waved her hand impatiently, and Bai Lan ordered someone to drag Xiao Cui away.

For the girl Xiao Cui, she was destined to have such an ending from the day she entered Prince Yan's Mansion.

I'm afraid she is still fantasizing that when she meets the princess tomorrow, the princess will take her into the palace and let her live a good life.
