Spring Drunk Chang'an

"I'm going with His Highness? Why?"

Liu Changan blurted out.

Xiao Chuo's brows knitted together, and he bent his knuckles and struck her on the forehead, "Why? You ask me why?"

In the past, Xiao Chuo allowed Liu Chang'an to stay in the Ningguo Mansion because although the three siblings of the Liu family disliked her, no one wanted to kill her. With Song's protection, she just needed to be careful and she would be generally safe.

But now...

"Liu Wenbai sent someone to assassinate you. He must have noticed that you were investigating him. This is a dead end!"

"If you don't go with me, are you going to go back and wait to be killed by him?"

"Of course not. But if I go with His Highness, won't that alert the enemy?"

Liu Changan reacted very quickly. She was also a little scared. But if you don't enter the tiger's mouth, you can't get the tiger cub. "I can't let Liu Wenbai know. I told you about the 'stealing the dragon and turning it around' incident."

"Besides, I think he probably hasn't fully investigated it. How much do I know? Was it intentional or accidental? I guess he just wants to kill the wrong person rather than let him go."

"I'm leaving with you now to tell him clearly that I know everything, and you know it too. If he gets desperate, he'll do something..."

"Why not, I pretend to be rescued by the soldiers and return safely!"

"He will then kill you!" Xiao Chuo interrupted her.

Tell her the truth.

"I know, but Your Highness will send someone to protect me, right?" Liu Chang'an pursed his lips, his long eyelashes trembled, and his eyebrows curved.

When Xiao Chuo saw her cute and pitiful appearance, a strange look flashed in her smoky eyes.

"I will." He said, "But, there is always a loophole."

"If anything goes wrong, you'll lose your life."

"you……"

You have to follow me!

"Your Highness, I know this is a dangerous situation, but I will definitely be careful. After returning home this time, I will no longer take a day off. I will stay in the main courtyard. Even if I go out on errands, I will go with others. If Liu Wenbai causes trouble for me, I will take the jade pendant you gave me and never let him have the chance to harm me!"

Before Xiao Chuo could finish her words, Liu Changan spoke in a low voice anxiously and very obediently.

She was unwilling to leave the Ningguo Mansion at this time. This was her "battlefield" and she wanted to stay, face the danger, defeat it, and overcome it.

Liu Xiu, Liu Wenbai, Liu Qingru, Aunt Lai...

The enemies who harmed her entire family, made her restless day and night, and woke her up in cold sweats in the middle of the night.

She wants to solve them one by one.

She can't escape.

Liu Changan might not be able to smile and watch everyone in the Ningguo Mansion cry, but...

She doesn't have to laugh.

The people in Ningguo Mansion must cry.

"I want to stay. I, I have other ideas~" she whispered.

Xiao Chuo was so angry that she laughed, "You still have ideas?"

"Yes, I do!" Liu Chang'an looked up with a smile on her face. Noticing that the prince was a little unhappy, she instinctively softened her tone, her almond-shaped eyes bright as she said obediently, "Your Highness, I, I want to drag Liu Wenrui into this..."

"Do you think it's good?"

She didn't realize that her attitude towards Xiao Chuo had changed from the initial "utilitarianism and fear" of wanting to curry favor with her but being instinctively afraid, to the "dependence and trust" of acting coquettishly and making conditions.

It seemed as if no one could hurt her as long as she was by the prince's side.

Liu Laishun, Liu Ai, and even Song could not give her this sense of security.

Liu Changan's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents.

"Pull Liu Wenrui? What for?" Xiao Chuo raised her eyebrows.

"Prince, listen to me..." Liu Chang'an seemed to have remembered something good. She couldn't suppress a smile on her red lips and whispered, thinking silently in her heart.

In his previous life, Liu Wenrui had always been a playboy, relying on his father and brother to bully others, while at the same time squandering his wife Shi Xiaoyue's dowry to attract other men. But...

Is he really willing to do this?

Liu Wenbai was taught by the old Duke since he was a child. All the family resources were tilted towards him. He became the prince of the Duke's Mansion at the age of three, and Liu Xiu taught him personally.

As a legitimate son, Liu Wenrui is almost "abandoned"!

Liu Xiu never taught him seriously. As a son of a wealthy family, the political education and resources he received were only slightly better than Liu Qingru's.

Previously, Liu Changan had speculated that these might be Liu Xiujue's eldest and second sons, who were only one year apart in age. If they were educated in the same way, the two sons would fight and he was afraid that the family would be disturbed. But now...

She got it.

Liu Xiu was paving the way for his "confessor's son". He crippled and disabled the two sons born to Song, and praised Qu Qiutong's son to the top.

Liu Wenbai was standing on the shoulders of Liu Yu and Liu Wenrui, looking down on them.

Would Liu Wenrui be unaware of this?

Liu Changan thought that would not happen. She was also prepared to use this "reluctance" to do something. If successful, she would not only gain an "ally", but also resolve the crisis of her friend, Shi Xiaoyue.

That little girl who was cowardly and inferior in front of outsiders, but smiled sweetly in front of her and called her "Sister Chang'an", no matter what!

You can no longer fall into the same situation as in your previous life.

Liu Wenrui is not worthy of her at all, and the same goes for Liu Wenbai!

Liu Changan pursed his lips, his almond eyes looking distant.

-

The Duke's Mansion of Qi.

In the elegant and luxurious bedroom, Princess Nanweng sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror with her beautiful eyes, and reached out to brush her long black hair.

The maidservant combing her hair stood respectfully behind her and gently tied up her hair.

"You're really old, you even have white hair!" Princess Nanweng sighed.

Upon hearing this, the maidservant quickly complimented, "Madam, you really love to joke around. How can you be called old when you are so naturally beautiful? To be frank, if you and I go out together, I'm afraid people will think you are my sister."

"It's just that I can't reach her."

Princess Nanweng is already in her early thirties this year. She is able to be the biological mother of a maid who is only sixteen years old. When she calls her "sister", it is naturally flattery.

"You are a sweet-talker, but you are too bold," Princess Nanweng scolded with a smile.

Seeing this, the maid raised her hand and slapped her mouth in a playful manner, "It's all because of this useless mouth. When I saw a beautiful woman, I was so unrestrained that I actually offended the lady. I deserve to die."

"Hahaha!"

Princess Nanweng laughed out loud at her amusements.

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted and her wet nurse walked in, "Princess, the eldest girl is here."

"So soon." Princess Nanweng's smile instantly faded, a flicker of displeasure flashed across her brows. She said lazily, "Let her in."

"Yes!"

The wet nurse responded, turned around and went out. After a while, she came back with Shi Xiaoyue.

"Daughter meets mother!"

Shi Xiaoyue walked up to Princess Nanweng with small steps, her head lowered. She didn't show the liveliness and sweetness she had in front of Liu Changan at all. She timidly and sullenly greeted, "Mother, may you be blessed with good health."

"Alright, stop being so polite!" Princess Nanweng didn't even look at her. She lowered her head to play with her nails stained with red ink, and said in a neutral tone, "Miss, I summoned you here today because your father asked me to tell you something."

"Your father rejected the Ningguo Mansion's proposal."

"Don't even think about it."
