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

"I think you've misunderstood, Xiyao. His Royal Highness Prince Rui and I have only met a few times. We are not in the relationship you think. How could the prince possibly like me?"

Seeing that Princess Pingning's words were getting more and more outrageous, Shen Qionghua hurriedly explained to her.

She had not forgotten the last time she accidentally ran into Prince Rui taking a medicinal bath. The man's gloomy face made her feel scared every time she thought about it.

What if Prince Rui heard what Princess Pingning said and misunderstood that she had ulterior motives?

Even if she had ten mouths, she still couldn't explain it!

Luo Xiyao heard what Shen Qionghua said but didn't believe it.

Her cousin is the most aloof and cold one, always with a stern face, as if he is collecting a debt.

Suddenly someone sent her a message asking her to take care of a girl at the lotus viewing banquet. Who would believe that there was no trick? Would you believe it?

But looking at Shen Qionghua's expression, it seems that she really thinks so. Could it be that... her cousin is unrequited in love?

Shen Qionghua watched the expression on Luo Xiyao's pretty face constantly change. Finally, her eyes widened and she said to herself in surprise, "Qionghua, you are amazing."

"You must severely punish your cousin and never agree to his request so easily!"

Shen Qionghua: “?”

Just when she was puzzled, a deep voice came from behind: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Xie Nanyuan came out from behind the rockery in the small garden. He was still wearing a black robe today, with a belt of the same color tied around his waist. He had a handsome face and an upright posture.

Shen Qionghua was shocked and stood up quickly.

Luo Xiyao walked up to Xie Nanyuan and reached out to pull his robe, but Xie Nanyuan dodged sideways.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm telling the truth!" Luo Xiyao said.

I am his cousin, but I am not allowed to even touch him. Yet he took the initiative to ask me to take care of a girl. Doesn't this mean he likes the girl?

"Enough!" Xie Nanyuan stopped her. This girl always made a fuss. If she continued, who knew what she would say.

"You go back to your room first. I have something to discuss with Miss Shen." Xie Nanyuan said calmly.

When Luo Xiyao heard this, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and her face was full of horror. She looked Xie Nanyuan up and down as if she had just met him for the first time.

He was so eager to use her as an excuse to meet the girl, but he still refused to admit it.

Luo Xiyao shook her head, smiled at Shen Qionghua, and walked away without looking back.

O man!

After Luo Xiyao walked away, Xie Nanyuan said to the slightly reserved Shen Qionghua, "Pingning has had a bad temper since childhood. Please don't mind it."

Shen Qionghua smiled and said, "Princess Pingning is very cute."

Xie Nanyuan didn't comment on this. How could he not know what kind of personality Luo Xiyao had after so many years?

It's just pretending to be decent on the outside.

"Your Highness came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today. I guess you have found out?" Shen Qionghua asked.

Xie Nanyuan nodded, a fierce look flashing in his deep eyes. "I received your letter the day before yesterday and sent someone to investigate. I didn't expect that old man to hide it so well."

Xie Nanyuan had to admit that his second brother was indeed quite capable, as he was able to win over the Minister of Revenue.

"One of that old man's bastard sons was a good friend of the brother-in-law of the concubine of one of the staff members of Prince An's palace. By chance, the brother-in-law once saved the bastard's life."

"That bastard is the son of the Minister of Revenue's favorite concubine. He is his most favored son, even Gao Lei cannot compare to him."

"If we didn't know that the bastard's family background was too low and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion wouldn't agree, I'm afraid that bastard would have jumped into the pond to save Pingning."

As Xie Nanyuan spoke, he clenched his hands tightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

My uncle has only one daughter, Pingning, and he is thousands of miles away guarding the border for my father. How dare these people attack Pingning?

Shen Qionghua didn't expect that the involvement would be so complicated.

No wonder Gao Lei had always been flawless in his previous life. It was not until he publicly supported Xie Qian'an after he obtained the title that everyone knew that he was Xie Qian'an's man.

Shen Qionghua frowned and explained, "I noticed something unusual between Princess Anle and Gao Lei the other day, so I wrote to His Highness to check it out. I actually found it by accident."

"However, Your Highness, have you ever thought about Prince An's motives for doing this?"

Xie Nanyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Qionghua, signaling her to continue.

Shen Qionghua nodded, "Prince An went to such great lengths to get Gao Lei to marry the princess, it's definitely not because he wants to win over the Duke of Zhenguo."

"Everyone knows that the Duke of Zhenguo regards the prince as his own son. Prince An will not seek trouble. Since he cannot win him over, in order to reduce the prince's power, he can only destroy the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

"But the title of Duke of Zhenguo is hereditary, and he controls the National Defense Army, deeply loved by the soldiers and the people. If he is to be destroyed, the crime must be serious enough to make everyone feel that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion deserves it."

"He allowed the son of the Minister of Revenue, who ostensibly had no relationship with him, to marry the princess, thus lowering the guard of the prince and the duke."

"After Gao Lei and the princess are married, he will be able to enter and leave the Duke's mansion freely. However, the Duke is far away at the border, and it is not convenient for the prince to come to the mansion often. If Gao Lei puts something in the Duke's study at this time to frame him, it will be easy for him to do so."

With every word Shen Qionghua said, Xie Nanyuan's face darkened. Even though he had already realized Xie Qian'an's purpose before, he was still very angry when he heard Shen Qionghua say it again.

He asked himself if he had ever taken the initiative to compete with Xie Qian'an for that position, but the other party just kept biting him, which was annoying and disgusting.

Xie Nanyuan knew what Shen Qionghua was saying, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

There was no need to remind him all the time that the relationship between him and Xie Qian'an was one of life or death.

Shen Qionghua smiled awkwardly. She was not embarrassed that King Rui saw through her little thoughts. As long as the result was right, it was fine.

"Thanks to you for saving Pingning that day, otherwise she would have really married Gao Lei." Xie Nanyuan said.

That would ruin Pingning's life.

Shen Qionghua smiled and said, "This is all as it should be. Princess Pingning also helped me when Princess Anle was giving me trouble. I also want to thank the prince for letting Princess Pingning look after me."

Shen Qionghua is not stupid. She and Princess Pingning had no reason, so why would Princess Pingning help her?

There is only one possibility, that is, King Rui told her to do so.

Shen Qionghua has felt much more at ease these days. At least now it seems that Prince Rui is indeed a reliable partner. Although his temperament is a little unpredictable, he is not someone who cannot be tolerated.

After all, she is the one who is clinging to the thighs.

Prince Rui has choices, but she has no choices.

Xie Nanyuan's face turned a little unnatural when he heard this: "I also heard from An Yi that you were going to Princess Anle's mansion. Pingning was going there too anyway. Pingning happened to come to Prince Rui's mansion a few days ago, so I told you not to think too much."

Shen Qionghua nodded softly.

Of course she knows.

Shen Qionghua would never think that she had the face to make Prince Rui go to Princess Pingning to take care of her.

Seeing that Shen Qionghua didn't care, Xie Nanyuan felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
