"Ayao, why do you have to be like this? A bastard is still a bastard after all, not to mention he is not a girl. When the time comes, we can just send someone to deliver some medicinal herbs and that will be the end of it. Do you really want to break off relations with me over such a trivial matter?" Lan Nuoling pretended to cough dryly, with a puzzled look on his face.
The people around nodded subconsciously. After all, this was the Minglan Kingdom where women were respected. Men could not retire, let alone a man born out of wedlock.
They also felt that the King of Nanyang was making a big deal out of nothing. He favored his illegitimate son and was not afraid that his legitimate daughter would feel uncomfortable. In the end, it would only lead to unrest in the family.
"What's wrong with being a bastard? Even if he is a bastard, he is still the son of me, the King of Nanyang, and not some random person on the street. If he gets wronged, the Nanyang Palace will naturally support him." The King of Nanyang retorted stubbornly.
Then, seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, she looked at Lan Nuoling with disappointment: "I thought you and I were like-minded and had supported each other for so many years."
"Who knew you were thinking this deep down? Well, today I'll give you one last favor and not pursue the past. You and I."
The Prince of Nanyang lifted his front and brandished his dagger: "Cut the robe and sever the righteousness."
There was an uproar all around. After all, the people in Haojing could clearly see how close the relationship between Prince Nanyang and the Regent was, but now it had come to a point where they were severing their ties.
Everyone looked at Xu Tianze at once. If the Regent's brother had not come back, or if he had not provoked the Nanyang Prince's illegitimate son, perhaps this situation would not have occurred.
Xu Tianze felt the strange looks from those around him, and stared at the King of Nanyang with deep eyes: "The princess is really straightforward, but I don't know if she will be able to live with it in the future."
Upon hearing this, King Nanyang's body stiffened for a moment, but then he got on the carriage as usual and left.
"Hmph." Xu Tianze snorted coldly, looked at Lan Nuoling meaningfully, and turned back home.
Lan Nuoling also had a serious look on her face. She glanced at the people who had not yet dispersed in front of the mansion, and just told the servants to close the door, then immediately turned around to chase Xu Tianze.
When Lan Nuoling caught up with him, she didn't know how to start the speech she had just prepared. She could only follow Xu Tianze in silence.
When Xu Tianze reached the gate of his yard, he stopped and turned to look at Lan Nuoling: "It has always been me, Xu Tianze, who schemes against others, but never others who scheme against me."
"I don't care why, what she said in the end was different from what she planned, but you should know her character."
"Don't touch her, I'll go and find out." Lan Nuoling grabbed Xu Tianze's arm, a little anxious.
At the beginning, they were all following the plan, but breaking up is different from severing ties. Breaking up would not look good on the surface, but it would not completely tarnish Xu Tianze's reputation.
But in the Minglan Kingdom, severing one's ties of friendship has another meaning, which is a fight to the death, which is simply the rhythm of becoming mortal enemies, which was not planned in the first place.
That's why Xu Tianze and she were stunned for a moment. After all, others didn't know, but they, the parties involved, knew very well that this was just a show and it must not go to this point.
At this point, Xu Tianze can be said to have been nailed to the pillar of shame. From the loss of reputation at the beginning to the infamy at the end, the reactions were different.
"I hate betrayal the most. I didn't come to Minglan Kingdom to cause trouble in the entire Haojing, but that doesn't mean I can't do it." Xu Tianze sneered, then turned and walked into the yard.
"I won't take action within three days. If you stop me after three days, we will go our separate ways."
When Lan Nuoling heard what Xu Tianze said, her face became terribly gloomy. She knew that Xu Tianze would definitely do what he said. After all, being a prominent figure in the country was not just talk.
"Princess." Fuqin took a step forward and waited for Lan Nuoling's instructions.
In her heart, she didn't want her master and Xu Tianze to really part ways. After all, she saw how happy her master was during this period.
Sometimes she even felt a little dazed, as if Xu Tianze was really her master's biological brother, so that her master would not be so lonely.
"Go and make some arrangements. We'll go to the Nanyang Palace at midnight." Lan Nuoling turned around and walked towards her own yard.
Just as Xu Tianze hates betrayal, she also hates betrayal the most. If A Yao really betrays her, she will not show mercy.
Xu Tianze didn't know how lively it was outside during these three days. He just stayed in his yard during these three days, and Lan Nuoling didn't come to his room again, so he felt a lot more comfortable.
Xichen watched it all from the side. Compared with the other servants who were a little nervous, he was the calmest. After all, he had been with his master for a long time.
He also knew that his master didn't care about the so-called reputation at all. What his master cared about was the King of Nanyang's act of stabbing him in the back.
Since he didn't care, it didn't matter what was spread outside, so he smiled and sent away those who wanted him to persuade his master, not taking it to heart at all.
"Xichen, it looks like we have something to do tonight." Xu Tianze ate the pastries bit by bit, with a smile on his face.
"Master, it's not time yet." Xichen couldn't help laughing.
My master is the best at bluffing people. In fact, no matter whether the Regent has figured out Prince Nanyang's thoughts or not, my master will go there in person tonight.
At the very least, they should be taught a lesson first, telling them that their master is not someone to be trifled with. However, seeing the Regent running around these days, their master must be secretly happy.
Xu Tianze wanted to say something, but after hearing the noise outside, he put away the smile on his face and became expressionless again.
"Are you really planning to take action against them?" Lan Nuoling asked straight to the point as soon as she came in.
"Have you gained anything in the past few days? I'm afraid you were directly rejected?" Xu Tianze asked back directly.
Lan Nuoling didn't know what to say when she heard that. She had originally planned to go find A Yao that night.
They had agreed before that if they had something to do and needed to avoid being seen by others, they could just go to the house at midnight and she would be brought in directly.
After several times of communication, this matter had become a tacit understanding between them, so she believed that the Nanyang Palace would definitely leave the door open that day, but when it was almost dawn, she still didn't see it.
During the day, she wanted to go in to find out the reason under the pretext of delivering medicinal herbs to ease the relationship, but she was kicked out before she even entered the door.
Now it was the third day, and she hadn't received any news at all. She couldn't help but feel discouraged.
