The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Shen Runing turned his head slowly, his eyes stern, and the silver needle in his hand was clenched tightly.

When she saw who it was, she was slightly stunned.

"Ling Xun?" she whispered, her eyes narrowing slightly.

The man standing in front of him was wearing a dark green brocade robe with golden cloud patterns and dark dragon scales embroidered on the fabric. He had a jade-inlaid belt tied around his waist, which showed off his tall and straight figure.

Her long jet-black hair was tied up with a white jade crown, with a few strands of hair hanging down by her ears, gleaming softly in the sunlight.

"Ms. Shen, long time no see." Ling Xun spoke calmly, his voice low and magnetic, with a bit of teasing and a bit of seriousness.

Shen Runing quickly suppressed his surprise, calmed himself down, and said with a faint smile: "What are you doing in Tianyan, the prince of Beiming?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on her lips deepened a little: "Look at my memory, Ling Hui married the Fourth Prince, and you, as her brother..."

Before she could finish, Ling Xun raised his hand and shook his finger gently, decisively interrupting her: "For you."

His tone was light, but it carried an undeniable certainty, as if he was stating a very ordinary fact.

Shen Runing was stunned for a moment, a complex look flashed across his eyes, and then he quickly recovered.

"Don't joke, my lord." Her voice was calm, but she took a step back slightly to keep a distance from him.

Ling Xun was relentless and took a step closer, looking at her steadily: "Ms. Shen, I'm not kidding."

He paused, and a hint of affection seemed to emerge in his eyes: "Since the last time we met, I have been deeply in love with you."

Shen Runing felt powerless upon hearing this. She hated to hear such pretentious love words, especially when they came from Ling Xun's smooth-talking mouth, which made her feel inexplicably awkward.

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "I have been engaged to King Ruyang. There are tens of thousands of women in this world..."

Ling Xun raised his lips in a smile and interrupted her again: "There are thousands of women, but I only like you."

Shen Runing couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, and looked up at him coldly: "What a coincidence, I don't like you."

Ling Xun was not annoyed, but smiled more calmly.

He raised his hand and patted his sleeves gently, as if to calm his slightly trembling emotions, then lowered his voice and took a step closer: "Ms. Shen, believe it or not, one day, you will fall in love with me."

His tone left no room for doubt, his eyes revealing an unbridled confidence.

Shen Runing's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he almost wanted to wave the man away.

But before she could open her mouth, Ling Xun suddenly raised the corners of his lips, bowed slightly to her, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the dark red palace wall like a ghost.

She was stunned for a moment, and just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Chunzhi hurried back.

"Miss!" Chun Zhi hurried to her side, holding her arm, his face full of worry, "Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"

Shen Runing calmed herself down and shook her head, "I'm fine." She paused, a hint of doubt and confusion flashed across her eyes, "What did you find out?"

Chunzhi saw that she seemed really fine, and his expression relaxed slightly. He lowered his voice and moved closer with excitement on his face.

"Miss, everyone in the palace is saying that the Sixth Prince has bad intentions towards Concubine Rong! Right now the Empress is confronting him in Ruifu Palace!"

Shen Runing frowned, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Sixth Prince?"

"Yes!" Chunzhi nodded, her face full of gossip, "I just heard from a few palace maids that this matter has caused a big fuss. Many people have gathered at Ruifu Palace! The Sixth Prince seems to be so anxious that he is about to cry!"

As Shen Runing listened, Ling Xun's words and expression just now emerged in her mind.

He was here for no reason.

"Ling Xun, what on earth are you acting in?" she murmured in a low voice, her eyes as deep as water.

But now is not the time to think too much. The matter at Ruifu Palace is probably the top priority at the moment.

Seeing Shen Runing's expression change, Chun Zhi couldn't help but move closer and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what are you mumbling about?"

"Miss, should we not go to Ruifu Palace at this time?"

"The Ruifu Palace must be in chaos right now. If you get dragged into it, it will be a thankless task."

Shen Runing's eyes were deep, as if he could see the truth farther away through the scenery in front of him. What Chun Zhi understood, Shen Runing certainly understood as well. If he went to Ruifu Palace at this time, he would definitely not get away unscathed.

Can……

If this matter really gets out of hand, Concubine Jing's situation will be worrying, and it is even unknown whether we can see her in the future.

She wanted to meet Concubine Jing. The conversation between Luo Mian's mother and Concubine Jing was still a mystery in her mind.

From the beginning to the end, Luo Mian was supporting her and helping her solve her problems.

And this time, she also wanted to do something for Luo Mian.

Thinking of this, Shen Runing let out a light breath, then raised his hand to straighten his collar and tuck in his sleeves, his movements clean and neat.

"Walk,"

"Let's go to Ruifu Palace and have a look."

Chunzhi has always trusted and obeyed Shen Runing unconditionally.

Even if there was an endless sea of ​​fire ahead, as long as Shen Runing asked her to jump in, she would follow without hesitation.

"Yes, ma'am."

……

All the way to Ruifu Palace, you can feel the unusually solemn atmosphere.

The originally quiet corridor was now gradually filled with people. Palace servants were talking in low voices as they hurried past, and several concubines in gorgeous clothes were accompanied by eunuchs, heading towards the Ruifu Palace.

The flow of the crowd seemed to push the undercurrents hidden in the entire palace into a deeper vortex.

When the two finally arrived at Ruifu Palace, they could see from afar that many palace servants and guards had gathered outside the palace gate. There seemed to be a heavy sense of oppression in the air. Everyone was talking in low voices, and their eyes were constantly peeking into the closed gate.

"The Sixth Prince just knelt down!"

"Empress Rong hasn't shown up yet! Concubine Chunhong is here..."

"The Queen's face is livid. I'm afraid she's going to get angry..."

After the two entered the room, there was a sudden sound of porcelain breaking, followed by a majestic female voice: "Sixth Prince! I want to ask you, have you ever done anything so shameful?"
