Chapter 52: Saint Girl Doesn’t Fall in Love 21

Mingnan seemed helpless and sighed: "Don't look at me like that."

【I can’t stand it.】

The prince knew the answer but still asked, "Why?"

Mingnan glanced at him and said, "Because I hate it."

The prince smiled and scanned her beautiful features. "Really?"

Mingnan cleared his throat, turned away from the naturally seductive man, and whispered, "I'm here to talk to you about something important."

She spoke of what happened in her previous life in a speculative tone, "Last night I observed the sky and calculated with my fingers that there will be floods in the south. Natural disasters are ruthless and will probably have extremely serious consequences for the people. I don't know if the people down there have checked and repaired the dikes to see if they can withstand this year's heavy rains."

The prince's expression gradually became serious, "Are you telling the truth?"

Mingnan nodded, "Would I lie to you about this?"

The prince shook his head and said firmly, "You won't."

"That's it, isn't it? I hope you can send someone to take a look. If there is no problem, that's the best. If there is a problem, it's still not too late to make plans. Natural disasters are ruthless and should be avoided if possible. Especially after a flood, it is very easy for plague to occur. Once a disaster occurs, it will be too late to regret."

When it comes to business, both of them are equally calm and rational.

The prince was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I will send someone to handle this matter when I get back. I hope it's not too late."

Seeing his cold expression, Mingnan felt itchy inside and couldn't help asking, "Do you really trust me so much?"

The prince looked at her for a moment, then suddenly took a step forward and stretched out his hand.

Mingnan was startled and looked around subconsciously.

"What are you doing?"

She wanted to step back nervously, fearing that the prince would suddenly kiss her madly again.

However, the prince's hand just brushed lightly over her head, and he held a green willow leaf in front of her eyes, "The willow leaf has fallen into your hair."

He paused and asked with a smile in his eyes, "What are you nervous about?"

Mingnan: “…”

She angrily snatched the willow leaf from his hand, "Confiscate it, you are so grown up, why are you playing with willow leaves, aren't you childish?"

"I have said everything I need to say. You can handle it as you wish. I am leaving now."

She spoke quickly and left without looking back.

205: [Host~ You seem to be angry out of shame, hehe~]

【Shut up, hehe weird. 】

Mingnan returned to the crowd with an expressionless face, attracting a lot of attention. Perhaps she had the words "Keep Away" written all over her body, so although they were curious, they didn't try to talk to her.

When Princess Anguo had enough fun, she invited the female family members to take their seats, and her husband entertained the male guests.

They invited the most famous opera troupe in Shengdu to perform on stage. The male and female guests were separated only by pots of flowers, so they would not go to the wrong seats and could see the people across from them clearly.

It can be said that it is really convenient to meet each other.

Mingnan's position was relatively forward, but not too close to Princess Anguo.

She paid special attention to the two girls beside Princess Anguo. From their behavior and conversation, she knew they were brought up by aristocratic families. Today's banquet might be mainly for them.

Knowing what was going on and having done what needed to be done, Mingnan relaxed and watched the show.

She tried to listen for a while, but found that she was not very interested, so she let 205 play the song in her mind.

As she was listening, a maid suddenly came over and whispered, "Princess, the Crown Prince wants you to come over."

Mingnan's eyes flickered slightly, and the music in his head stopped immediately.

She turned her head and looked at the person who was speaking. She was wearing a white skirt and pink clothes, and was indeed dressed like a maid from another manor.

"Why did the prince come to me?"

She asked doubtfully, "Is there anything I shouldn't ask my husband for?"

The maid paused, raised her head and said worriedly, "You will know if you follow me. I see that he doesn't look well, so I think he is feeling unwell."

"Didn't the princess treat the Crown Prince before? You know exactly how his health is."

Seeing Mingnan was unmoved, she gritted her teeth and said a little excitedly, "If anything happens to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it will be too late for the princess to regret."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, revealing half a jade pendant from her sleeve.

Mingnan's expression changed slightly. This was indeed the one the prince was wearing today.

205: [Hiss, could something really have happened to the prince? ]

Mingnan sneered inwardly: [Just go and take a look and you will know. ]

205: [What if it’s a trap? ]

Mingnan stood up and said lightly: [Then~ tit for tat, that's what I'm best at.]

205 Thinking of the fools who were beaten up in the previous life and whose mother didn’t even know them, it actually made sense to me.

When the maid saw her get up, a gleam of excitement flashed in her eyes imperceptibly.

Mingnan pretended not to know and said to her, "Please lead the way."

"yes."

The maid turned around and walked quickly in front, with Mingnan following closely behind.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Yu put down the teacup, stood up and left from the side as if nothing had happened, without disturbing anyone.

…

"Haven't we arrived yet?" Mingnan curled his lips sarcastically as he looked at the increasingly remote scenery around him.

The maid didn't even turn her head and ran, "It's almost there, in the front room."

"Is that so?"

Mingnan has lived his life in vain if he still doesn't realize it's a trap.

Finally, after turning another corner, the maid stopped in front of a room surrounded by flowers and trees, turned her head and looked at Mingnan, "Princess, the Crown Prince is inside, please go in and take a look."

Mingnan readily agreed, "Okay."

The maid was stunned as she didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to. She watched Mingnan push open the door and step in, the smile on the corner of her lips almost unable to be concealed.

However, the next moment Mingnan suddenly turned around, grabbed her neck with lightning speed, and pulled her into the door.

Maid: "! Help me——"

Mingnan tightened his arms around her, making her unable to make a sound, and she had no choice but to be dragged into the room.

With a "bang", Mingnan clamped her neck and pressed her against the door, asking coldly, "Tell me, who sent you here?!"

The maid's eyes widened with fear and she began to struggle with her hands and feet.

She didn't know where Mingnan got the strength from his thin arms, which were like iron arms and couldn't be shaken at all.

Her breathing became increasingly difficult. She looked at Mingnan with eyes as calm as if he were looking at a dead object. She suddenly realized that for Mingnan, killing her would be like killing an ant. He could just find any excuse to get away with it, and no one would pursue the matter.

A chill suddenly spread over her body, and her inner defenses collapsed in an instant.

"I...I said--I--said--"

As soon as Mingnan's hand loosened, she immediately slid down the door panel, knelt on the ground, and started coughing violently.

"The people around the twelfth prince found me three days ago and told me to bring the princess here alone and then give her this medicine. I will get a large reward. He also said that the twelfth prince would find a way to send me away from the villa and give me freedom."

As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve with shaking hands.

Mingnan snatched it away, then took out the prince's jade pendant from her sleeve and asked, "How did you get this?"
