Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Hearing this man's name, Beitang Yuan's face suddenly darkened. "I know. Since he wants to die, no one can stop him."

"You know?" Xie Jinglan raised her eyes to look at him. Presumably, everything in Prince Mu's Mansion was under his close surveillance, so he also knew when Beitang Hong left.

"Beitang Yuan, you may choose to let Beitang Hong go for the sake of the so-called brotherhood, but I will never be soft-hearted. I will take Beitang Hong's life!" Xie Jinglan clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms, in order to restrain the overwhelming hatred in her heart.

"Brotherhood?" Beitang Yuan felt ironic when he heard these words. "The royal family only cares about profit. Where does brotherhood come from?"

"So, is it Your Majesty's intention to let him go?" Xie Jinglan thought so.

Emperor Kunming ordered Beitang Hong to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and would definitely send someone to supervise him. However, Beitang Hong left that very night, and the emperor couldn't have been unaware of this, so he turned a blind eye and let him go.

"I don't care what my father thinks." Beitang Yuan's eyes turned cold.

"Lan'er, Beitang Hong cannot die in his palace, otherwise, you and I will be the first to be suspected.

After all, he is a prince. If he died for no reason, my father will definitely have someone investigate. I just don't want you to be suspected of murdering the prince.

He's just a piece of trash, not worth dirtying your hands with. Only after he leaves can we take action against him."

"I... understand." Xie Jinglan felt a little ashamed. It turned out that this man had already thought of everything so carefully. She had misunderstood him.

Indeed, if Beitang Hong died in his own palace, Emperor Kunming would definitely suspect her first. After all, the hatred between them was known to the world.

"If you are bored at home, why not come with me to the palace?" Beitang Yuan said.

"Go to the palace? Is there anything fun?" Xie Jinglan became interested. It was time to go and take a look.

"Well, there will be a surprise." Beitang Yuan put on the mask and stood up, "Let's go!"

The two men left the room and saw several guards practicing shooting in the yard. Beitang Yuan also remembered that he had run out of bullets.

"Lan'er, last time, thanks to your pistol, I was able to easily escape from those people's pursuit. It's a pity that I had too few bullets and couldn't kill them all."

"I got it! I have prepared a hundred bullets for you. From now on, I will send you a hundred bullets every five days. That should be enough!" Xie Jinglan said.

She currently has two Desert Eagles, each with 200 rounds of ammunition, and two Browning pistols, also with 200 rounds of ammunition. However, these two pistols are different models and use different types of ammunition.

Although the bullets will be automatically replenished after five days, I still have to keep one hundred for myself as a backup and give him one hundred.

As for the guards who are still practicing shooting with rifles, now that she has come out of seclusion, it is time to let them practice with other types of guns.

"Really?" Beitang Yuan was overjoyed when he was given a hundred bullets every five days. "Lan'er is still the best to me."

"Let's go." Xie Jinglan shook her head. She was still a child at heart. When given something new and interesting, she would be as happy as a child who got candy.

"Wait a minute, Lan'er, I haven't practiced with a spear that long!"

"We'll practice later..."

The two of them walked out of Duke Li's mansion while talking.

Beitang Yuan's carriage was still parked outside the mansion. This time, the carriage he took was very ordinary and much more low-key.

Seeing them coming out, He Changsong quickly lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Your Highness, Miss Xie, please."

"Ah."

Xie Jinglan got on the carriage first to avoid being suddenly picked up by this man again.

The two of them sat down and the carriage started slowly.

"Tell me! Why did you go to the Royal Hunting Forest that day and get easily tricked?" She had never asked him this question.

Hearing this, the smile on Beitang Yuan's face disappeared immediately, "That day, I received an anonymous letter saying there was news about my mother.

I know someone is deliberately trying to lure me there, but I still want to go."

"Any news about the late queen?" Xie Jinglan was stunned. Wasn't his mother already dead? Could there be something else behind what happened back then?

Seeing that he had a gloomy face and hadn't spoken for a long time, Xie Jinglan knew that he was feeling bad, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them sat like this until the carriage stopped at the gate of the East Palace.

The Eastern Palace can be said to be another small court of the prince. It has its own staff and its own palace gate for entering and exiting the palace. It is just that its rank is slightly lower than the main palace gate of the imperial palace to show the hierarchy.

Xie Jinglan got off the carriage first and looked at the palace gate in front of her.

The previous owner of the Eastern Palace was the eldest brother of the late emperor, but he died before he could succeed to the throne. Therefore, the position of crown prince remained vacant, which triggered the war for the throne. In the end, the late emperor won the throne.

Since then, this palace gate has remained closed for more than 40 years.

It was not until Beitang Yuan returned this time that Emperor Kunming ordered the palace gate to be reopened.

A big hand held her small hand and led her towards the palace gate.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Xie!"

The guards guarding the palace gate all saluted.

Xie Jinglan knew that he was in a bad mood, so she let him lead the way.

I thought he was going to take her to his bedroom, but the man suddenly said, "Lan'er, I'm going to take you to see someone first."

"Okay." Xie Jinglan knew in her heart who the person she was going to meet was.

The two walked in silence for a long time, and then came to an archway where someone was guarding it.

On this side of the archway were guards from the Eastern Palace, and on the other side were the Imperial Guards.

Xie Jinglan knew that after passing this archway, she would reach the imperial palace.

"Your Highness, you are here!" The guards and royal guards greeted them one after another.

"Ah."

Beitang Yuan just nodded to them and walked through the archway.

When you walk into this side, although there are no flowers or plants, the surrounding scenery is quite unique and quiet, giving you a feeling of peace and tranquility.

"Lan'er, if possible, I really want to hold your hand like this forever, just the two of us, until the end of time." Beitang Yuan said.

[Wow! Master, the prince has confessed his love to you again, how come you're not moved at all?] Xiao Jinzi felt that her master was doomed. She didn't want such an outstanding man, and she was really going to be alone for the rest of her life.

"Monkey, I think it's time to find you a female monkey." Xie Jinglan said softly.

"Forget it, I won't say anymore. Anyway, I'm here, so you don't have to worry about being alone for the rest of your life." Xiao Jinzi was speechless.

You are not a human being.

Little Jinzi, "..."

After not hearing her speak for a long time, Beitang Yuan turned to look at her, "Lan'er, what are you thinking about?"

"The word 'endless time' is too far away."

Xie Jinglan looked up and saw that they had arrived in front of a dilapidated palace. She thought that this was the cold palace where Chang Sun Man lived.
