The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

His body, which had just relaxed, suddenly stiffened, and Xie Nanyuan lowered his head and met Shen Qionghua's eyes.

Those eyes that had always been firm and pure were now filled with suspicion and uneasiness. Upon closer inspection, there was even a hint of vigilance hidden in them.

Xie Nanyuan was in a state of panic, his mind a mess. The words that were about to come out of his mouth took a detour and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm afraid you can't deal with Prince An. I've done what I promised you, but you haven't done what you promised me yet."

"If you were killed by Prince An, all my hard work would be in vain. I will not do such a losing business."

After he finished speaking, Xie Nanyuan realized what he had said. He secretly glanced at Shen Qionghua and saw that Shen Qionghua was looking at him in astonishment, with her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide open.

Xie Nanyuan clenched his large hands hidden under his sleeves, with a look of annoyance on his face.

What on earth is he talking about?

Even if they were in a cooperative relationship at the beginning, after spending so much time together, they are more than just partners. How could he say such a thing!

Looking at her expression, was she sad after hearing what he said?

How should he comfort her and tell her that he didn't mean that?

Xie Nanyuan's lips moved slightly, and he was thinking about how to explain it tactfully when he heard Shen Qionghua take a deep breath.

His tone was full of relief as he said, "Your Majesty, you are right!"

"I should reflect on my actions. We are in a cooperative relationship. I can't let my guard down just because the Shen family has escaped the control of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion."

"At least before you ascended the throne of Crown Prince, I should have remained vigilant. This matter is my fault. No wonder you, Your Highness, are so concerned about it today."

Oh my god, she must have been so irritated by Xie Qian'an's series of shameless behaviors that her mind went haywire.

Just for a moment, she actually wondered whether Prince Rui liked her because he cared so much about her today.

Is this thick-skinnedness contagious?

She and Xie Qian'an had only been in the same room for a short while, but she was already beginning to be assimilated.

Prince Rui had never touched a woman in his previous life until he died of illness. How could he possibly like her?

Shen Qionghua shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake out the water that had just entered his brain.

She tilted her head and saw King Rui's dark eyes staring at her motionlessly, with a look that seemed to show some aggrievedness?

Shen Qionghua felt guilty, clenched her fist, placed it next to her mouth and coughed lightly.

"That's not what I meant. What I wanted to say is..."

"I understand, Your Highness." Shen Qionghua interrupted him and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I will pay attention to it from now on and will not let my own reasons affect your plans."

Shen Qionghua patted his chest and made a promise with great confidence.

She has confessed so much, Prince Rui will definitely not keep harping on her, right?

Xie Nanyuan looked at her steadily, his thin lips slightly parted, "Is this how you think of me?"

Do you think that his concern for her is because he is afraid that she will hold him back and affect the subsequent fight for the throne?

Is he so cold-blooded and inhumane in her heart?

She thought their relationship was just a partnership?

If it was really just a cooperative relationship, why would he be so nervous, afraid that she would be hurt by Xie Qian'an?

It's not like he has nothing to do!

Shen Qionghua felt that Xie Nanyuan's tone was not right, and her face darkened. She quickly recalled what she had just said.

You didn’t say anything wrong!

Shen Qionghua was truly full of admiration for Lin Ze at this moment. It was truly remarkable that Lin Ze, as a subordinate, had been able to persist for so many years under the fickle character of King Rui.

Shen Qionghua tried to figure out what he meant and asked tentatively, "Did I misunderstand?"

Xie Nanyuan remained silent with a cold face. Shen Qionghua said with a rolling throat, "I am stupid. If I have misinterpreted Your Highness's meaning, please clarify it."

Xie Nanyuan's eyes darkened, and his voice was neither sad nor happy, "Forget it, if you say so, then so be it."

This sentence confused Shen Qionghua. What kind of answer was this?

Is it yes or no?

Just as Shen Qionghua was about to ask more, she heard Xie Nanyuan say, "This prince sees that County Master Jialin is not only courageous but also intelligent. She is capable of fighting a hundred people alone, so she shouldn't need so many people."

"The Rui Palace is short of manpower, so I will not send anyone to the County Master. After all, the County Master is very eloquent and will find a way to avert danger."

After saying that, he glared at Shen Qionghua fiercely and left angrily.

Lin Ze was sticking to the door, listening to the noise inside, when suddenly the door was thrown open. He was pushed back a few steps by the force, and then he felt a flash before his eyes, and his prince passed by like a gust of wind, and then disappeared without a trace.

Linze looked in the direction where his prince disappeared, then looked inside the house, and saw Shen Qionghua with a frown on her face, looking extremely puzzled, and a smile that was uglier than crying.

He slapped his thigh, and with a bitter face, he chased after Xie Nanyuan with tears in his eyes.

Shen Qionghua: “…”

Both the master and the servant must be mentally unstable!

-

Xie Nanyuan rode his horse back to Prince Rui's Palace at a brisk pace.

Sitting in front of the desk in the study of Prince Rui's Mansion, Xie Nanyuan still felt uneasy.

Lin Ze followed him into Prince Rui's Mansion, panting. As soon as he stepped into the study, he looked up and saw Xie Nanyuan with a look of impending trouble.

He paused and said to himself, "Oh no!" Just as he was about to retract his foot, he noticed that Xie Nanyuan's eyes were already on his legs.

There was rage in the sharpness, as if if he dared to retract his foot, his foot would be chopped off in the next moment.

Lin Ze secretly groaned and subconsciously cast a look for help towards Ji Bei who was guarding the door.

Ji Bei turned his head away expressionlessly, pretending not to see it.

Lin Ze gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and stepped in with his other foot. At the same time, a most harmless smile was plastered on his face.

He pretended to walk lightly, as if nothing had happened, and just stood beside Xie Nanyuan. But Xie Nanyuan almost broke his defense when he opened his mouth.

"Are you in a good mood today?" Xie Nanyuan stared at Lin Ze's bared white teeth and said softly.

Lin Ze paused, and immediately stopped smiling, but his heart was still pounding.

Xie Nanyuan withdrew his gaze, which fell on the document on the desk, and picked it up to read.

After glancing at him for a few times, his gaze fell on Lin Ze's face. He stared at him for a while, and seeing that his expression hadn't changed at all, he said, "You have such a sad face, are you trying to be disrespectful to me?"

Linze: “…” I want to cry.

His mouth was pursed, his face looked calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"You have a pointed chin and monkey cheeks, so ugly." Xie Nanyuan said.

Veins bulged on Lin Ze's forehead, but he obediently opened his pursed mouth, and the upward curve of his lips was almost invisible.

Xie Nanyuan stared for a stick of incense before looking away.

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his stiff mouth slowly relaxed, but he saw that Xie Nanyuan had only turned a page of the document in his hand and then threw it heavily on the table.

Lin Ze's hands trembled, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. He saw Xie Nanyuan staring into the void and said quietly, "What do you think of what happened today?"

Linze looked around and found that he and the prince were the only ones in the study.

Linze: “…”

Your Majesty, you are not asking me, are you?
