Chapter 53: Self-inflicted
To be honest, Ruan Ning was also a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
Wasn't it a mutually beneficial thing to fire CP before, why didn't he discuss it with her, and directly clarified it unilaterally.
*
On the other side, as soon as Xiao Lan came out of the palace, he ran into Pei Jing, thinking of the recent rumors, Pei Jing walked over, put his hand on Xiao Lan's shoulder, and said in a brisk tone:
"I thought you and Ruan Ning were about to have a good thing, why do you say that you don't mean that to her now, what's going on?"
Xiao Lan's face was expressionless, and his tone was even a little impatient: "It's what you heard." ”
Seeing his expression, Pei Jing hesitated: "You...... Forget it, let's go to your house and talk. ”
*
Xiao Lan felt dull in his heart when he thought of what the queen had said to him a few days ago.
In fact, he has also seen through the prince's behavior, it is nothing more than monopolizing the government and controlling the power, depending on His Majesty's intentions, he is still very tolerant of him, if it is just like this, even if he finds out the truth, His Majesty may not really treat the prince well.
But just when he told the queen his thoughts, the queen told him a shocking news: the crown princess had an affair with her half-brother, and the crown prince may not be the emperor's blood at all.
If this is the case, the prince's actions will be condemnable.
*
In a strange atmosphere, the two returned to the Wu'an Palace, and Pei Jing said straight to the point: "Don't you like the girl of the Ruan family very much, why are you doing this now, do you know what people outside will say about her......"
Xiao Lan didn't understand these very well, and subconsciously felt that it was good for her to break off the relationship with Ruan Ning, so she directly interrupted Pei Jing and said:
"It's not better to explain what is not there in the first place, and besides, my mother is going to Beijing recently, so she doesn't know what to think when she hears these rumors."
Pei Jing choked, and for the first time he felt that he couldn't understand Xiao Lan's thoughts, so he asked again: "By the way, did you tell Ruan Ning the results of the investigation in Qingping County this time?" ”
Xiao Lan's tone was cold: "Tell her what to do." ”
Pei Jing raised his eyebrows: "People are in danger for you." ”
Xiao Lan: "I gave her silver." ”
Pei Jing: ...... He didn't know what to say.
While talking, the two walked to the hall, and when they saw the people standing inside, Pei Jing's whole face was distorted.
Because it was in the palace, the two of them didn't deliberately turn down the volume when they spoke just now, presumably ...... Pei Jing was sleek in the end, seeing Ruan Ning standing in front of him, he asked without a trace:
"When did Miss Ruan come?"
Ruan Ning stood at the door, embarrassed and didn't know what expression to make, she could finally understand the lyrics: "I should be under the car, not in the car." ”
She thought that Xiao Lan didn't have a relationship between men and women for her, but friendship was always there, but now when she heard his words, she suddenly felt like a clown.
I didn't expect her to be amorous.
Ruan Ning glanced at Xiao Lan, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he pointed to the food box next to him without smiling:
"The new products in the store, send them to you to taste, the people still have something to do, so I won't bother the prince."
After finishing speaking, Ruan Ning didn't even intend to wait for Xiao Lan to respond, and left him directly.
Xiao Lan's Adam's apple rolled, and his thin lips almost wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't say a word after all.
Pei Jing didn't understand him, and he didn't even plan to be a friend in the future.
He slapped Xiao Lan with his elbow: "Don't chase it." ”
Xiao Lan walked into the house without squinting, and his voice was indifferent: "No." ”
That's good.
