After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

"Did you really say that?" Luo Qingyun turned around and questioned Chang Rongxuan.

Chang Rongxuan looked away guiltily, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "What did I say about her? I was telling the truth!"

Xie Yuze was furious, and he immediately kicked the table on the ground away.

"Do you really think the Xie family has no one else to rely on?"

Luo Qingyun's expression changed slightly.

The Xie family held a crucial position in the court. Not to mention Xie Ansheng, even in this generation, the Xie family produced a Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and Xie Tongchen, who was about to inherit Xie Ansheng's mantle.

If they were to go to the Emperor to argue about this matter, they would have no grounds for complaint.

Luo Qingyun turned around and gave Chang Rongxuan a hard kick in the butt: "Hurry up and apologize to Xie Xing!"

Chang Rongxuan stared wide-eyed at Luo Qingyun in disbelief: "Cousin, you want me to apologize to that village girl?"

Luo Qingyun's eyes flashed sharply: "What, are you planning to take this to Father Emperor?"

Hearing this, Chang Rongxuan backed down.

He reluctantly walked up to Xie Xing, his eyes filled with venom as he apologized fiercely, "I'm sorry."

Xie Xing quickly hid behind Xie Yuze and whispered, "Brother, he's so fierce."

"Will he plot against me later?"

Chang Rongxuan, who indeed had this plan, was speechless.

He naturally couldn't swallow this insult, and was just waiting for the day Xie Xing was alone to do it.

She actually found out.

"He wouldn't dare!" Xie Yuze gave Chang Rongxuan a warning look.

Chang Rongxuan's fat jiggled, and he forced a smile: "Why would I plot against a country bumpkin like you?"

After saying that, fearing that Xie Yuze would hit him again, he ran away in a flash.

Once the farce was over, people quickly stopped paying attention to it.

They just witnessed a good show.

The two young ladies from the general's mansion don't seem to have a very good relationship.

At that time, in a private room on the second floor.

Inside Junlan Jin and Ximen Zhu's room, the two sipped tea while observing what was happening below.

Ximen Zhu stroked his chin with his fingers, looking down at Xie Xing, and said thoughtfully, "I used to think she was just a simple and innocent girl, but now I see she's more like a hedgehog, capable of hurting people."

Jun Lanjin lightly traced the rim of the teacup with his fingers, glanced at it briefly, and then looked away, saying casually, "Is that so?"

"It's just a little scheme."

"She probably has no idea how to get rid of the poison in her body right now."

During those three days, Jun Lanjin did secretly visit Xie Xing.

He was a little curious about how Xie Xing planned to resolve this matter.

Judging from her inner thoughts, she has grown up a bit and become more cunning, but that's not enough.

Jun Lanjin raised his hand and summoned his bodyguard: "Arrange something unexpected for her."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Zhu looked at Jun Lanjin with some surprise: "What are you planning to do?"

Jun Lanjin lowered his eyes and drank the tea in one gulp. Hearing this, he slightly curled his thin lips and said, "It's nothing, I'm just curious about the result."

Let's see if she chooses to compromise with Luo Hanfeng or find another way when the poison takes effect a month later.

Speaking of which——

Jun Lanjin fixed his gaze on Luo Hanfeng at the second-floor railing, a hint of agitation flashing in his eyes.

In these three days, he was unable to find any clues about Luo Hanfeng.

Ximen Zhu shook his head.

The water in this man's belly is black; no one knows what he's plotting.

“But let me tell you, you can’t mess around with your injuries. At least cherish your life.” Ximen Zhu warned, “Don’t use your internal energy until you find the Snow Mountain White Lotus.”

"I understand." Jun Lanjin leaned back lazily in his chair and replied casually.

Ximen Zhu didn't know whether this person truly knew or was pretending to know.

He was so worried that he flipped through medical books, looking for any way to suppress the poison in Jun Lanjin's body and prolong the time before the poison took effect.

the other side.

Since they happened to run into each other, Luo Cheng'an invited Xie Yuze, Xie Mingzhu, and the others to get together.

His room happened to be right next to Junlan Jin's room.

Luo Cheng'an was unaware that Jun Lanjin was next door. After leading the group into the side room, Xie Yuze discovered that Luo Hanfeng was also there.

Xie Yuze's face immediately turned ugly.

Neither Xie Xing nor Xie Mingzhu wanted Xie Yuze to have any connection with Luo Hanfeng.

Moreover, he is very likely to know the Xie family's secrets.

Xie Yuze paused as he entered the room, then suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered that I have made an appointment to go sightseeing today, so I will not be able to meet with the Crown Prince and the other princes today."

As he spoke, Xie Yuze tried to pull Xie Mingzhu and Xie Xing away together.

Xie Xing was naturally eager to leave; she didn't want to see Luo Hanfeng at all.

But Xie Mingzhu was different from her.

She didn't want to be with Xie Xing, as it reminded her of her own past.

So Xie Mingzhu smiled gently at Xie Yuze and said, "Brother, why don't you and your sister go? Mingzhu wants to catch up with Brother Cheng'an."

Xie Yuze's expression froze.

If he hadn't known that Xie Mingzhu was a princess of the previous dynasty, he would naturally have been happy to see Xie Mingzhu and Luo Cheng'an have a good relationship.

But ever since he began to suspect Xie Mingzhu's identity, he naturally could not allow Xie Mingzhu to be alone with the Crown Prince.

However, forcibly taking Mingzhu away at this time would only attract attention.

"It has been a long time since I last caught up with Miss Xie. I wonder how Miss Xie has been lately?" Luo Hanfeng's smiling gaze fell on Xie Xing.

Xie Xing ignored him and hid behind Xie Yuze.

Xie Yuze was secretly wary of Luo Hanfeng.

Did the Seventh Prince really poison Xie Xing?

Xie Yuze thought for a moment and still felt that he couldn't leave Mingzhu alone here, so he said, "In that case, I will go with Mingzhu."

In the end, Xie Yuze still went into the side room.

The Supreme Pavilion was, after all, a place for entertainment. After the group took their seats, Luo Cheng'an waved his hand and ordered someone to summon the musicians and dancers.

Xie Xing was perfectly positioned, sandwiched between Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng.

Even though she no longer wanted to see Luo Hanfeng, this was an excellent opportunity.

Her gaze swept across the table, finally settling on the peach blossom cakes that Xie Mingzhu had but she didn't. After a moment's thought, she quietly moved closer to Xie Mingzhu: "Sister, could you switch seats with me?"

"I want to eat your peach blossom cake."

Xie Mingzhu was stunned for a moment.

When Xie Xing earnestly called out "sister," her voice was soft and very pleasant to hear, and even she, as a woman, enjoyed listening to it.

Xie Mingzhu's left is the Crown Prince, and Xie Xing's right is Xie Mingzhu's right. If they were to switch places, Xie Xing would sit next to the Crown Prince, while Xie Mingzhu would sit next to Luo Hanfeng.

Xie Mingzhu glanced at Xie Xing.

Her eyes were crystal clear, and she had absolutely no intention of using them to get close to the Crown Prince.

After several thoughts, Xie Mingzhu finally agreed: "Okay."
