Chapter 43: Saint Girl Doesn’t Fall in Love 12

Hearing this, Mingnan couldn't help but tighten his grip on the wine glass.

The next moment she noticed that the prince was looking at her.

The moment their eyes met, Ming Nanxia wanted to hide.

But the prince withdrew his gaze before her, as if he had just glanced at her inadvertently.

Then he turned around and said nonchalantly: "I won't hide it from my father, the emperor and the queen, I do have a lover."

Every word and sentence is crystal clear.

Mingnan's heart skipped a beat.

The prince has a sweetheart?!

Who is it?

Mingnan tried hard to recall the original owner's memory, but he just couldn't remember it.

The original owner had no interaction with the prince in her previous life, so there is very little information about the prince, and it is not even known whether he got married in the end.

In an instant, her heart was in turmoil and her mind went blank.

There was a moment of silence at the table, and then the atmosphere became lively as if a pot had exploded.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has a sweetheart. I wonder which girl is so lucky?"

"The Crown Prince has lived in the Eastern Palace for a long time. He has not come into contact with many people, right? He is probably the younger generation of one of the empresses in the harem."

"So if you say so, isn't it more likely that she was a maid of honor?"

"That's really a big success for them!"

The emperor coughed, and everyone stopped talking immediately, but their eyes were still shining with excitement and gossip.

The emperor was also very curious. He leaned towards the prince and asked with interest, "Oh? Which lady is it? When did you fall in love with her? Why didn't you tell your father?"

Mingnan pursed her lips. 205 sensed her complicated emotions and couldn't help asking: [Host, are you jealous? ]

[Not really, but...] Mingnan couldn't lie to himself, [I do feel a little uncomfortable.]

She repeatedly told herself that the person in front of her was not Mu Yanshan, they did not and could not have any relationship, and it was nonsense to use the prince as a substitute for Mu Yanshan, which was disrespectful to both of them.

But every time she saw the prince, the familiar feeling that emerged from the depths of her soul would still break down all the defenses she had prepared in advance.

Every move of the prince, even a look, made her shudder.

They are so similar. Not only are their temperaments similar, but why are even their small movements so similar?

Is it really just a coincidence?

She didn't know what her eyes looked like at this moment.

The prince saw it clearly and felt nervous.

The words I wanted to say came to my lips but I couldn't say them.

Seeing that he was silent, the emperor asked again, "Why, it's inconvenient to say it?"

Countless taboo speculations flashed through his mind and his expression changed slightly.

The prince came back to his senses and shook his head: "I like her, but she may not like me. Before there is any result, how can she marry if she is involved with me?"

He smiled in relief, his eyes clear and sincere as he said, "So it's not that it's inconvenient, it's that I can't tell you for now. If one day we are in love, I will ask you to grant me marriage as soon as possible."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You really have my own personality. Once you set your sights on someone, you treat them well."

The prince lowered his eyes and smiled, seeming a little shy.

The emperor slapped his thigh and said, "Forget it. I'll wait for your good news then. Hahahaha——"

Mingnan felt that he was neither breathing nor breathing.

It would be better to just say it directly.

Who is it?

[The prince's predecessor must be Jiang Taigong. 】

205 listened to her determined tone and asked curiously: [Why? ]

Mingnan chuckled: [You’re really good at fishing.]

205: [……]

This little episode passed quickly.

Just then a new group of dancers came on stage, and everyone naturally changed the topic of conversation.

Only Mingnan's previous satisfaction disappeared, and he was absent-minded in the second half.

Finally, when the banquet was over, she found the maid that the imperial teacher had planted in the palace and asked her to help her pass a message to the prince.

She spoke a few more words to the Imperial Master, then left alone to the rockery complex on the other side.

The prince walked out leisurely. The young palace maid passed by him and accidentally bumped into him. She whispered quickly in his ear: "The Saint is waiting for you behind the rockery."

The prince paused, and the maid immediately knelt down and said, "This slave did not mean to do that. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

The guard Lian Jue was about to scold him, but the prince raised his hand and said, "It's okay, get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The maid expressed her gratitude, bowed, and left in a hurry.

This little accident did not alarm anyone.

Lian Jue frowned and said, "Your Highness is too lenient. She couldn't even walk on such a wide road, and she bumped into you. I suspect she did it on purpose!"

The prince smiled and said, "It was indeed intentional."

Lian Jue was stunned, "Then you let her go?"

The prince said nothing and glanced towards the rockery forest.

Lian Jue also looked over, but saw nothing.

The prince said, "Let's go."

He waited until most of the people around him had dispersed before he started walking towards the rockery forest. Lian Jue immediately followed with the others.

When they got closer, the prince paused for a moment and said, "Stay here and don't let anyone else in. I'll be right back."

"Ah? Your Highness, what are you doing?" Lian Jue was shocked, but the prince just glanced at him and pinned him to the spot, "I know my limits."

There was no way to solve the problem, so he had to stop and wait.

He watched the prince enter the rockery forest alone.

*

The rockery forest is full of strange rocks and winding paths.

The prince turned around twice before he saw the white color.

His eyes narrowed slightly and he walked forward quickly.

When he got closer, he slowed down his pace and asked, controlling his emotions: "What do you want from me?"

Mingnan turned around upon hearing this, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

It seemed as if it was about to transform into feathers and leave in the next moment.

The prince's pupils trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but stop and look at her.

Mingnan cooled down after some wind. His eyes were calm now.

She figured it out. Her mission this time was to take away everything that belonged to Xiao Che, including the throne. She only had to support the prince to ascend the throne smoothly. She could not and did not want to control what happened to the prince in the future.

Considering that he and Mu Yanshan have so many similarities, she is doing her utmost to help him get back in shape.

When the mission is over, she will take the initiative to leave this world.

Thinking of this, she smiled at the prince and said, "What do you think of the deal I discussed with Your Highness last time?"

The prince frowned, noticing her subtle changes, and felt a little confused. "I told you before that if you want to talk to me, you need to show your sincerity."

"nature."

Mingnan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him.

The prince took it, scanned it, and found it was a prescription, but he couldn't understand it, "This is..."

"Some time ago, I found an ancient book that recorded a folk recipe. It said that if you take the bright crescent moon from the top of the snow mountain and add it to wine, add other secret medicines and brew it for a month, and then add fresh human blood, drinking it can have the effect of rebirth and revival."

Mingnan glanced at the prescription in his hand and said, "This is the folk remedy."

The prince was startled, and reacted instantly. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the prescription, "You made it?"

Mingnan tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Now, am I qualified to talk to you?"
