Xiao Minglan took a sip of tea to soothe his throat, then glanced at Ning Shu with dissatisfaction, "Lady Ning, next time when you play horse games, don't go easy on me like you did today. It's so unpleasant. If you want to play, you should play with your real skills. Even if I lose, I'll still be happy."
Xiao Yuncen, whose face was ashen, immediately turned into a corpse and screamed. What??? She, Ning Shu, actually went easy on him! What did she mean? It meant that the next time he played cards with these people, he would lose everything in the Seventh Prince's residence!
"Little Royal Uncle, you're too mean. You dragged me into the fire pit." Xiao Yuncen sat in the corner and glared at these people with great resentment.
Ning Shu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness Prince Ke, this time Ning Shu was rude. Next time, I'll play with you to the fullest. However, I've finished the four rounds of horse games that I promised you. Can you lend me the token? "
Xiao Yunlan held Little Hongyan in his arms and played with her soft white hands. He casually threw something to her and said, "Take it. You can return it to me before noon tomorrow."
Ning Shu bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. We'll take our leave now."
Xiao Yunlan waved his hand and hugged his little Hong Yan as he leisurely listened to his precious opera singer sing.
Ning Shu stood up and left. Xiahou Qing was a step behind and called Hui Mo.
Hui Mo immediately understood and gave the thick stack of banknotes to Xiao Yuncen.
Xiao Yuncen's eyes lit up. He immediately put the banknotes back into his arms and ran to Xiahou Qing. "You're so righteous! Prince Xiahou, you're my good brother from now on. Hahahaha! Come, come, come, let me send you off. "
He raised his hand to pat Xiahou Qing's shoulder, but Xiahou Qing stepped back and said, "Your Highness, you're too polite."
Xiao Yuncen didn't mind and happily sent Xiahou Qing and Ning Shu out of the Chasing Clouds and Moon Chasing Pavilion. Back in the pavilion, Bai Xiaosheng was still talking. He talked for a while about Qi Juanyu's case and continued to talk about Ning Shu.
After listening for a while, Xiao Yuncen smacked his lips and walked back to the second floor. He said in confusion, "Little Royal Uncle, the case at Phoenix Terrace was solved by Ning Shu herself. Why didn't she come out to clarify it? but instead, she made up her own story and spread the rumor?"
"The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Xiao Minglan held Little Hong Yan's hand and drank a small mouthful of warm wine. She said lazily, "How much of a limelight that girl had on the Phoenix Stage is how much face the Imperial Family has lost. There are three reasons why Imperial Brother hasn't punished her yet. First, Imperial Brother's old illness has relapsed and he doesn't have the energy to punish her. Second, the case has just been closed. If he punished her immediately, the people would think that the Imperial Family can't tolerate the truth. Third, Her Majesty the Empress pleaded for her life. The combination of these three gave her a chance to breathe. This is a rare opportunity, so she has to grasp it. She has to ruin her reputation before His Majesty recovers. The more the people don't believe that she solved the case, the safer she will be. This is to protect herself and also to ask for punishment. "
Xiao Yuncen was stunned by these words. It took him a while to react. Ah, so that's why. Ah! So that's why! Then he silently decided that he had to be careful when he saw that Lady Ning in the future. As for Ma Diao, no more fighting, no more fighting!
Xiao Minglan grabbed Little Red Yan's hand and kissed it. He smiled flirtatiously. The mole under his eyes was lively and fragrant. "That girl is very clever." And that Xiahou Qing was also not someone easy to deal with. These two people who had nothing to do with each other had coincidentally come together. Sometimes, the Heavens were very interesting, weren't they?
