After Shi Shuling left, Shi Wuqing looked down at her wrist, not daring to raise her head.
But she waited for nothing.
When she raised her head again, Qi Luan had disappeared.
"Princess." Xiaoyi stood beside her and whispered, "The prince seems very angry."
This goes without saying; everyone present can see it.
Shi Wuqing thought of the look Qi Luan had given her before and was silent for a while.
Qi Luan...you must have figured out that Shi Shuling was slandered by her, right?
"Princess, do you want to go back to your room?" Xiaoyi asked.
Shi Wuqing stood up and said, "Don't go back yet. I'll go see A'luan."
Xiaoyi nodded, helped her up, and glanced at Lian Yi unhappily: "Why are you still standing here in the way? Don't you know how to go back and prepare some summer-cooling soup for the princess first?"
Lian Yi responded calmly and left.
…
"Your Highness..." Hongming followed behind Qi Luan, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Even he noticed what happened just now. The princess knocked over the teacup herself. There was no reason why the prince would not notice it.
Therefore, the prince knew the truth but was still biased towards the princess.
But... after showing partiality, the pressure around him was so low. Did he feel that he had been deceived? Was the princess not as wonderful as he imagined?
Hongming felt that this shouldn't be the case. After all, the prince personally applied medicine to the princess. No matter how you look at it, he shouldn't have been angry then, so why is he angry now?
Even if he was angry, shouldn't he have taught the princess a lesson? He ran away alone without even saying hello to the princess. What was going on?
"Speak." Qi Luan's tone was gloomy.
Hongming hesitated for a moment, then got down to business: "Yu Yongning has already returned to the Yu Kingdom. With the Emperor's help, it won't take long for him to gain a foothold. If we want to take action... I'm afraid we have to do it before then. Once Yu Yongning and the Emperor unite, the situation will be dire."
The situation should be extremely critical now, but looking at the prince... most of his thoughts are still on the princess who has been despised by people outside.
"I know." Qi Luan's tone became even colder.
"What I want to say is..." Hongming bowed, "The current situation is not favorable for us. Even though His Majesty has been prepared, the Emperor has made plans first, so we are still a little hasty... At the last banquet, the princess and the Shangshu Mansion had a falling out, and the Shangshu's wife apologized to her daughter in public. Everyone knows it! Since ancient times, only children have apologized to their parents, and there has never been a saying that parents apologize to their children! Plus, the princess pretended to be upset and avoided the piano competition she agreed to..."
Qi Luan stopped, his eyes dark as he looked back.
Hongming lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "The princess is already despised by the public. In this turbulent time, it has also seriously affected the reputation of our Qi Wang Mansion. It is too detrimental to the prince's cause!"
What's more, the entire palace is in danger, but the princess is still trying to slander the genius doctor Gu and be jealous!
It's really annoying!
The most important thing is that the other party has too much influence on the prince!
"I dare to ask Your Majesty to depose the princess!"
“Bold!”
Qi Luan shouted loudly, and because of his anger, even his voice was filled with internal force!
An invisible storm arose around, and the leaves of flowers and plants began to tremble violently!
"I dare not!" Hongming knelt down, his eyes firm: "My Lord, if you really like the princess, this can only be a temporary measure. When you ascend the throne in the future, you can restore her status..."
"Shut up! Hongming, I forgive you this time because you have followed me for many years, but if you mention it again..." Qi Luan's eyes became cruel and sharp.
He had already put a lot of effort into gaining her trust, so how could he possibly do something to upset her?
How could he bear to do that?
I don't want her to suffer any injustice.
What's more, it was he who asked the Shangshu's wife to apologize!
He deliberately made the Shangshu's wife apologize in public. It was one thing to vent Qingqing's anger, and on the other hand, it was also done in front of the emperor to let him let down his guard!
What does this have to do with Qingqing?
She pretended to be sick while playing the piano, but that was because Qingqing was not Shi Shuling and could not talk, so she had to pretend to be sick. What did she do wrong?
Hongming was shocked, knowing that he had really touched the prince's sore spot.
I didn't expect that the prince actually liked Shu Ling to this extent!
He refused to even let her down for a short while!
He quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. It was Hongming who made the mistake. Please punish me."
Qi Luan was already in a bad mood because of what happened before, and now Hongming said these words again. He just felt a surge of resentment in his heart, which made him depressed and irritable, and he had the urge to kill someone.
"Go down." He pushed open the door, his voice as cold as ice and his breath dangerous.
Hongming stared at her intently and said, "My Lord, since I know your feelings, I will treat the princess the same way I treat you in the future."
Qi Luan didn't even stop. Hong Ming bowed, closed the door and left.
Qi Luan entered the room and went straight to the desk, which was piled with many books and essays. But when he picked up a book, he was distracted and couldn't read a single word.
"Bang!" He threw the book into the pile of books, his perfect face showing suppressed anger.
What made Qi Luan angry was not only Hongming's idea, but also Shi Wuqing.
He didn't understand, he really didn't understand. He had clearly told Shi Wuqing his thoughts and said that he would help her do whatever she wanted. Why?
Why does she still have to hurt herself to achieve some goals?
If she told him directly, would he not help her?
Not to mention that Shi Shuling "burned her", even if she didn't like the way Shi Shuling walked and wanted to kill him, what would be wrong with that?
Why does she have to be like this?
The more Qi Luan looked at the half-read books on the table, the more he disliked them. Even the shadows of the leaves and branches coming in from the window next to him were extremely annoying.
He looked over with a fierce look, drew his sword, walked to the window, and was about to cut off the branches of the tree.
But just as the sword was raised, a small head popped out of the window.
Qi Luan was stunned and subconsciously put the sword behind his back. A strange feeling of guilt emerged in his heart without a trace.
"You...why are you here?"
"A Luan!" The other person's eyes curved, his smile was bright and clean, and his attitude was intimate: "Can I come in?"
