Meng Youning's expression remained calm.
She was about to open her mouth when she suddenly covered her heart with one hand and coughed lightly.
He looked very uncomfortable.
A trace of pity flashed across Qi Ran's eyes, and he stretched out his hand.
However, as soon as his eyes saw the papers on the table, he immediately retracted his hand.
Meng Youning paused for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness is right. She and I only met after I came to Shengjing. We did dislike each other at first, but then I gradually realized that she wasn't that bad after all."
"That's the truth."
Qi Ran looked skeptical, "Is it that simple?"
Meng Youning hummed softly, "Yes, it's that simple."
Qi Ran leaned sideways, staring at Meng Youning intently, as if trying to find any signs of lying on her face.
Meng Youning stretched out a hand and pointed outside the door, "Since the prince already knows the answer, then please come in."
Qi Ran: “You!”
He looked at Meng Youning deeply, then slammed the table, stood up and left angrily.
Qi Ran didn't know what he was angry about.
But Meng Youning is his wife.
He and Feng Hengzhi really don't get along.
Now he was told that his wife was so close to the family of his enemy!
He swung his sleeves heavily, and as soon as he walked out of Yunyan Pavilion, he saw the drizzle outside.
I casually raised my eyes and caught a glimpse of two people not far away.
"Canghei, gone."
Qi Ran glanced at Mu Xiang and said in a cold voice, "Go back."
Cang Hei, who was not far away, reached out and wiped the rain off his face. "Did you hear me? You can leave now."
Muxiang, who was kneeling beside her, slowly stood up while holding up the hem of her clothes with one hand.
Perhaps because I had been kneeling for too long, my knees suddenly felt numb.
The moment he stood up, his body trembled. Canghei quickly grabbed Muxiang's arm, exerted a little force on his hand, and helped him up.
Mu Xiang opened her lips slightly, "Thank you."
Cang Hei shook his head, "It's okay, just be careful."
Looking at the actions of the two, Qi Ran felt even more displeased.
His voice suddenly rose, "Do you still want to leave?"
Cang Hei threw his outer robe over himself and quickly ran towards Qi Ran, "I'm coming."
A quarter of an hour later.
In a room in the Prince's Mansion.
Qi Ran stared fiercely at the front. "Why did she hide this kind of thing from me? I thought there were no secrets between her and me. I was indeed rude to her at the beginning, but her attitude towards me was also very bad."
His eyes suddenly fell on the teacup on the table. He picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking two cups of tea in a row, he seemed to feel that it was not enough to quench his thirst, so he poured two more cups until he could not pour out a drop of water. Only then did he stop.
"I asked her just now, but she didn't want to talk about it. She didn't want to explain at all." Qi Ran curled his lips, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red. "The most important thing is, I was so angry, but she didn't even look at me. She just dismissed me with one sentence."
Cang Hei reached out and rubbed his eyebrows. The prince came again.
When Qi Ran glared at him, Cang Hei put his hand on his chin and said with a deep face, "In fact, there is nothing wrong with what the Crown Prince Consort did. It's just that what you said just now was too hurtful, so the Crown Prince Consort followed your words. But the Crown Prince Consort definitely didn't mean it in her heart."
No matter what the Crown Princess is thinking, she should first appease the gentleman in front of her.
Qi Ran raised his eyebrows, "Is that really the case?"
Cang Hei nodded heavily and continued hurriedly: "Of course, Prince, think about it, you and the Prime Minister have always been at odds, and half of Shengjing knows this."
Seeing that Qi Ran's expression had improved slightly, Cang Hei continued, "After the relationship between the Crown Prince's Consort and the Prime Minister's wife improved, in order to prevent you from thinking too much, I pretended to be the same as before. If you think about it carefully, the main purpose of the Crown Prince's Consort doing this is still for you."
After saying this, Cang Hei sighed, "To be honest, if it weren't for the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's Concubine could openly go out and play with her sisters on the street. Regardless of whether their relationship is good or bad, the Crown Prince's Concubine is the only one who can have a say in the whole Shengjing."
Qi Ran was silent.
What Canghei said was true.
Seeing this, Cang Hei continued to analyze for Qi Ran, "But the Crown Prince's Consort gave up this opportunity for the sake of her husband, you, the Crown Prince, and even put on a show for others to see. This shows that she loves you to the core."
A trace of self-blame gradually appeared on Qi Ran's face.
Cang Hei clicked his tongue a few times and shook his head, "It's a pity that you, the Crown Prince, can't see the Crown Prince's wife's sincerity. And yet you still question her like this. The Crown Prince's wife must be extremely disappointed and is probably heartbroken right now."
A hint of guilt appeared on Qi Ran's face again.
He raised his head, his anger having mostly dissipated, "Did I really say too much?"
He scratched his head and muttered softly, "But I didn't say anything, why did she suddenly kick me out?"
At the same time, in Yunyan Pavilion.
"Do you still feel any discomfort? Is your knee feeling better?"
After Meng Youning inserted the last wooden hairpin for Muxiang, he held Muxiang's shoulders with both hands, bent down and asked softly.
Muxiang was about to stand up in fear, but Meng Youning pushed her back down again.
She looked in the bronze mirror and took off a jade hairpin from her hair.
