"Lan Zexu! No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak." Lan Nuoling immediately gave Xu Tianze a slap on the face.
Even though the Queen of Nanyang and she were good sisters, she could not tolerate Xu Tianze's offenses again and again, no matter how good her temper was.
The friendship between the two palaces was hard-earned. If she angered King Nanyang over such a small matter, she would be truly heartbroken.
"Why are you so eager to help me solve the problem?" King Nanyang stared at Xu Tianze with a serious look on his face.
At her gesture, the servants around surrounded Xu Tianze, as if they were going to keep him here if he couldn't explain himself clearly.
"Ayao, what are you going to do?" Lan Nuoling stood between King Nanyang and Xu Tianze.
"Nuo Ling, don't you understand? There is really something wrong with your brother." King Nanyang couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw that his view was blocked.
They all rose through the ranks in the court, and she didn't believe that Lan Nuoling couldn't see that something was wrong.
Or rather, she saw it, but Lan Nuoling just didn't want to point it out directly. However, as a direct victim, she didn't want to let the matter go in such a muddled way.
So no matter how good her relationship with Lan Nuoling is, she cannot allow Lan Zexu to plot against her. If a conflict is really inevitable, she is prepared to break up.
After all, she is now a family person and is no longer the lonely person she used to be. With so many ties, sometimes things seem more inseparable and she is destined to give up something.
"Ayao..."
"Sister, don't worry." Xu Tianze pulled away Lan Nuoling who was blocking him, his face still calm.
"Princess, instead of asking me, why not ask Master Li and Miss Jiang over there?"
Upon hearing this, King Nanyang looked at his most beloved illegitimate son. Seeing his illegitimate son nod to him, he looked back and forth between his illegitimate son and Lan Zexu suspiciously.
After a long moment, she looked at her bastard in surprise: "You and Lan Zexu are together? When did it happen?"
After hearing this, Lan Nuoling looked at Xu Tianze in disbelief. She had not received any news at all. When he came to her to report in the past, he did not mention anything at all.
If it's true, then it's too secretive, isn't it?
Xu Tianze stumbled upon hearing this. He looked at King Nanyang speechlessly and said, "Princess, your joke is too much, isn't it?"
Then he stared at the Nanyang King's bastard and Jiang Lanyun with resentment: "Why? If you don't explain, I'll break up the couple. Anyway, I'm a man, so I won't lose anything no matter what."
Li Yi also looked at his mother with a resentful look on his face. Lan Zexu couldn't see it, but he could see it clearly that his mother did it on purpose.
As for why he did it on purpose, it was obvious that he discovered that the whole thing was related to him, and Lan Zexu was just a by-product.
"Mother, Yun'er and I truly love each other. I hope you will grant us your blessing." Li Yi directly prayed to King Nanyang for his blessing and explained the truth of the matter.
Originally, Li Yi and Xu Tianze had no intersection, but Xu Tianze saw Li Yi and Jiang Lanyun meeting secretly several times. At the beginning, he could probably pretend not to know.
But after meeting three or four times, Li Yi and Jiang Lanyun saw that they could no longer hide it. In addition, the Prince of Nanyang and the Regent were good friends, so Li Yi felt that because of this relationship, Xu Tianze should help cover it up.
He simply went straight to Xu Tianze and confessed. Xu Tianze was surprised at first, but then he thought about the friendship between the two families. In addition, it had nothing to do with him, so he simply agreed without thinking too much.
Fortunately, the three of them had reached an agreement at the beginning, so the calculations in the Nanyang Palace this time were not brought to the surface in the end.
"What do you mean?" King Nanyang sat in the hall and looked at the three people standing in the middle.
If you want to help conceal it, just conceal it. If not, you can just ask her directly when the time is right. Why do you have to be so calculating and just let everyone go and catch the adultery?
"That's because it was not Master Li who first plotted against Miss Lan in the room, but me." Xu Tianze explained with a wry smile. He also knew what King Nanyang and the others were thinking now.
"A servant in the mansion wet my clothes, and when I entered the room, I found Miss Lan unconscious in bed."
"After finding Mr. Li, we decided to use his trick against him after some negotiation. Who knew that the person we ended up luring out was just the husband of the Minister of Justice." Xu Tianze shook his head.
This is also the reason why he stopped them directly outside the house. Since he didn't catch any big fish, why bother to suffer unnecessary losses.
Prince Nanyang and Lan Nuoling looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes. If Lan Zexu really got into trouble in Prince Nanyang's Mansion, they would have to break up no matter what.
Otherwise, everyone would wonder what kind of interests made the friendship between the two so deep that they could scheme against each other and yet pretend nothing happened.
"If you have nothing to do, you can go for a walk in the yard first." King Nanyang signaled these young people to leave first.
Some things are not yet ready for public disclosure, so it is better to avoid them first and speak them out when necessary. This can also be considered a form of protection for these young people.
"Mother." Li Yi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Tianze.
"Let's go. I believe my sister and the princess will handle it." Xu Tianze pulled Li Yi out.
Everything has been made clear, and there is nothing for them to do now. Why should they get involved now? It would be better for them to wait quietly outside for the result.
Considering the favor that King Nanyang has for Li Yi, and considering what happened today, it can be said that the good thing between Li Yi and Jiang Lanyun is a foregone conclusion.
"Ze Xu, you can stay." Lan Nuoling saw Xu Tianze was about to go out and called Xu Tianze directly.
Xu Tianze's body stiffened when he heard this. He was about to walk out, just half a step away. If he had known earlier, he would have taken the first step and would not have been left behind.
"Haha, sister, I don't think I'm necessary for this." Xu Tianze wanted to refuse. He didn't want to go through the trouble.
"Brother Lan, please stay. Since the Regent wants you to stay, she must have her reasons." Li Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he also followed suit to persuade him.
Xu Tianze had a face full of resentment. What did he mean by it made sense to keep him? If you wanted him to say something nice, then just say something nice. Would you listen to what this guy said?
He is not afraid of god-like opponents, but he is afraid of pig-like teammates. If he meddles in Li Yi's affairs again next time, he will not be named Lan.
Xu Tianze still wanted to refuse, but seeing Lan Nuoling's irrefutable attitude, he could only walk back dejectedly and find a place to sit down.
There's no way around it. Living under someone else's roof is never comfortable.
