Yu Heng heard Lan Shuang's laughter outside and his hands trembled with fear.
Is this... so happy?
Seeing how cautious the prince was before, he thought the princess was in a lot of trouble. Now it seems that the princess is really not an ordinary person!
He hesitated and put down his hand, not knocking on the door, but he didn't know whether to go in.
Prince Ming looked at Lan Shuang helplessly and gently pressed her waist: "Doesn't your waist hurt now?"
Lan Shuang shuddered and tensed up: "Don't touch it! It's so sore!"
Prince Ming quickly withdrew his hand, pressed her shoulders gently but firmly, and pushed her back onto the bed. "Rest well, I'll call Yu Heng in to talk."
He got up from the bed and carefully wrapped Lan Shuang in the quilt like a child. He was satisfied only when only her head was exposed. Then he lowered the bed curtain to make sure that nothing could be seen from outside before walking out.
Lan Shuang: “…”
She glanced at the landscape screen in the center of the room and fell silent.
You probably think Yu Heng has X-ray vision?
Ming Wang walked to the table outside and sat down, saying to Heng, "Come in."
"Yes." Yu Heng pushed the door open and walked in, keeping his head down politely. He didn't look around and came to Prince Ming and bowed. "Your Highness, the palace just announced that the second daughter of the Duke of Yingguo, Lan Yuning, will be the concubine of Prince Rong. She will marry on the eighth day of next month."
Prince Ming had been busy for a long time and was extremely thirsty. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, drinking it slowly. He only raised his eyelids when he heard the words: "Concubine? Can the Duke of Ying tolerate it? Didn't he quarrel with the emperor?"
Yu Heng laughed, a bit gloating. "You have to have a reason to make a scene, otherwise it's just unreasonable. Lan Yu Ning fell into the water, her clothes soaked, and so many people saw her being rescued by Prince Rong. If she doesn't marry Prince Rong as a concubine, she will die."
The King of Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and returned to his previous calm and composed appearance as a cold-faced prince who had everything under control.
He put down the teacup and turned to glance in the direction of the screen. Although he couldn't see the person behind him, he couldn't help but smile when he thought that the person behind him was listening with his ears perked up.
"Prince Rong's arrival is quite coincidental," he said with a vague tone, then asked, "Anything else?"
Yu Heng nodded. "My spies reported that Prince Rong's biological mother, Concubine Liang, is very unhappy about this. She looks down on Lan Yuning's background, thinking that she is just a peasant's daughter and that being a concubine is a compliment."
"The Emperor had actually considered giving the Duke of England a break. After all, he was a staunch royalist. Lan Yuning was crying and looked pitiful, wanting to commit suicide. But Concubine Liang refused to allow it. She said that if Lan Yuning really became the Princess of Rong, she would hit her head against the wall and die in the imperial study."
"The Emperor had no other choice. Although Concubine Liang was a bit foolish, she was quite favored by the Emperor. Her mother's family was powerful. Considering this, the Emperor finally made Lan Yuning a concubine. However, he showed her special favor by allowing her to wear a bright red wedding dress when she got married and enter the palace through the main gate."
Yu Heng paused here, "Lan Yuning reacted quickly. She stopped crying and making a fuss afterwards. She accepted the decree and thanked the emperor obediently. However, I heard that after returning home, she smashed all the porcelain in the house."
Ming Wang was not surprised at this and said nothing.
After a moment of silence, Ming Wang tapped the table with his fingertips: "Keep an eye on her. She doesn't seem like the type to give up easily. Notify me immediately if there's any unusual movement."
"yes."
"Has the Emperor never asked about my affairs?"
Prince Ming looked up at Yu Heng, who chuckled, "Of course I did. The Queen told the princess what she said, but the Emperor didn't believe it at all. He then sent someone to investigate, but when they found nothing, he suspected the prince had been poisoned. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely send someone to test him today."
"Come in if you want to. We have to put on a full show. His good days are numbered anyway, so let him be proud for a while."
"I understand."
"Well, it's nothing, you can go down."
"yes."
Yu Heng went out quietly and closed the door. Ming Wang picked up the teacup and drank it all, then stood up and walked into the inner room.
As a result, after taking only two steps, I heard Lan Shuang's steady breathing.
He walked more lightly to the bed, lifted the curtain, looked at Lan Shuang's peaceful sleeping face, and his heart was filled with joy.
I never thought that one day he would feel satisfied.
He took off his coat and got on the bed. He pulled Lan Shuang into his arms from behind, kissed her ear, and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Then he slowly closed his eyes.
…
When Lan Shuang opened her eyes again, it was already completely dark and the room was in chaos. Lan Shuang was stunned for a long time and didn't know what day it was.
She even felt a bit dislocated in time and space. For a moment, she thought she was still in the Spacetime Administration, until 888's excited voice rang out in her head: "Host! The female supporting character's resentment value has dropped again!"
"How much has it dropped?" Lan Shuang came out of her dazed state and began to look forward to it belatedly.
888 was so happy that his voice was a little floating: "It dropped a lot this time, a total of forty points!"
Lan Shuang was surprised: "Forty points?! I thought thirty points would be the maximum."
"Hey? Host, why do you guess so?"
Lan Shuang analyzed, "Look, in the last life, Lan Yuning was reborn and stole Lan Shuang's luck and opportunities. When did it start?"
888 recalled: "Hmm...did it start when she eloped with Liu Lang and Lan Yuning married in his place?"
"Yes, and later on, Lan Shuang was tricked by Lan Yuning into meeting Prince Rong, and she was the one who made him marry Prince Rong. Now I have changed these two points and successfully married Prince Ming, pushing Lan Yuning to Prince Rong. If Lan Shuang is still alive, she will definitely vent her anger and her resentment will naturally be reduced a lot."
888 suddenly realized: "I see. According to this logic, the most important of the remaining twenty points should be Lan Shuang's death in the previous life, right?"
Lan Shuang said admiringly, "The boy is teachable. He has changed everything that needed to be changed. I guess Lan Shuang's remaining resentment mainly stems from the Duke of Ying's inaction in his previous life and his unjust death during exile."
She stretched lazily. "Once these two issues are resolved, I think she'll be able to rest in peace."
888 nodded: "Then why don't we deal with Lan Yu Ning?"
Lan Shuang's eyes darkened when she heard this. "If she stops making trouble, I'll just let it go. She won't have a good ending if she marries Prince Rong anyway. But if she continues, I'll let her know what it means to bring disaster upon herself."
"woke up?"
A low and hoarse voice sounded from her ears, and the warm breath blew the strands of hair at her temples, bringing a sense of itchiness. Lan Shuang could not help but shrink her neck and interrupted the conversation with 888.
"Um."
She responded, and in a good mood, she turned over and faced Ming Wang, her arms curled up in front of her. She smiled and said, "Hold me a little looser."
Ming Wang lowered his head and touched nose to nose with hers, "Well, why?"
