Shen Luoxi put down the teapot and looked at Cang Yunxuan calmly. "It seems that the prince has woken up. Let's start talking about business. After the conversation, my sister can take the prince back to rest."
She signaled Xiao Yueze with her eyes. Xiao Yueze understood and walked up to Ning Yanran.
Ning Yanran was stunned and said hurriedly: "What are you going to do to me!"
"I just want to ask the concubine to go out, so as not to disturb the princess and the princess talking about business."
After that, he took another step forward.
Ning Yanran wanted to ask Cang Yunxuan for help, but Xiao Yueze didn't give her a chance to speak. Xiao Yueze didn't stop until he rushed to the door.
She glared at Xiao Yueze with dissatisfaction and said: "How outrageous! You are just a guard, how dare you do this to me!"
"I just respectfully invited the concubine out of the courtyard. I didn't offend the concubine. What's wrong?" Xiao Yueze asked.
Ning Yanran was speechless, Xiao Yueze deliberately exposed the sharp blade, clearly threatening her!
"you……"
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yueze said: "I would like to advise the concubine, if you do something wrong in the future, I will take action on your behalf without the princess having to say anything, so that the concubine will not break the rules of the palace."
Ning Yanran didn't dare to speak at all. She could only glare at Xiao Yueze angrily, waiting for Cang Yunxuan to come out before she could complain!
At this time, Cang Yunxuan wiped the tea from her face and looked at Shen Luoxi with cold eyes.
"Shen Luoxi, you are paying less and less attention to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to strangle Shen Luoxi's neck.
But before his hand even touched the corner of Shen Luoxi's clothes, a silver needle pierced his arm.
Shen Luoxi looked at him coldly, "The prince and I hate each other, so there is no need to waste each other's time."
"Now that King Lian has been lifted from the ban, he is a big threat to the prince. The best way to overwhelm King Lian and the Queen is to start with the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Cang Yunxuan's gloomy face turned serious instantly, "Go on."
"Master Kong from the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the best candidate." Shen Luoxi said calmly.
Cang Yunxuan pondered for a moment, "Master Kong is also a member of the Queen's family, but he always keeps to himself in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"The power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot be underestimated." Shen Luoxi said: "The Queen and Prince Lian are watching every move of the prince, so the prince must make plans in advance."
"Okay, I have finished what I need to say. Your Majesty, you can go back and rest."
She said the expulsion order without mercy, but Cang Yunxuan did not leave immediately.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Cang Yunxuan slowly said: "Do you trust him so much?"
Shen Luoxi understood who he was asking and calmly glanced at Xiao Yueze with his peripheral vision.
"He deserves my trust."
Cang Yunxuan secretly clenched her fists, "I hope you can still say that when he stabs you in the back."
"When that time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously, "The same is true for the prince."
Hearing this, Cang Yunxuan paused when he stood up, "What do you mean?"
"Is the prince so sure that my sister is devoted to you wholeheartedly?"
Shen Luoxi looked at him calmly, ignored him as soon as he finished speaking, turned around and walked back into the house.
…
A few days later.
King Lian sat next to the queen irritably, "Mother, what should I do? Now that those ministers see that I have lost power, they are all rushing to please my third brother!"
"If this continues, the position of Crown Prince will be his!"
The queen was also agitated, and her face became ugly when she heard what he said.
"I'm already thinking of a way. Don't worry. The emperor has no intention of choosing a prince yet. As long as the imperial edict is promulgated, it's not certain who will win."
She tried her best to comfort King Lian, but King Lian didn't appreciate it at all.
"You deal with me like this every time, and now I am no longer a child!" He said loudly: "Mother, please quickly think of a way to get those ministers to come back and support me!"
"I must prove to my father that I am not only the legitimate son, but also the most outstanding among all the princes!"
The queen frowned slightly, "You are my son, so you are naturally excellent."
"But your temper is too impetuous, so you have to stay calm in everything!"
Just as King Lian was about to retort, a palace maid hurriedly ran in.
The queen looked at her dissatisfied, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
"Replying to the Queen, there are reports from outside that His Highness King Xuan and Master Kong have been very close recently."
"What?"
The queen, who had just told King Lian to calm down, couldn't sit still for a moment. She grabbed the palace maid and pulled her in front of her, "Please explain the matter clearly. What's going on?"
The palace maid was startled and looked at her in fear for a long time without speaking.
"It is said that His Highness King Xuan will go to Lord Kong for tea in the past few days. Lord Kong did not agree at first, but for some reason, Lord Kong started talking and laughing with His Highness King Xuan..."
"So I want to ask the queen what she wants from the outside and how she wants to handle this matter."
The queen's expression was twisted, and her sharp nails had dug into the maid's arm.
The palace maid's eyes were red with pain, but she could only bite her lower lip tightly and say nothing.
King Lian on the side seemed to be unable to understand the current atmosphere, and said angrily: "I told you to pay more attention before, but now something happened again!"
"Mother, you should think of a solution quickly!"
"Shut up!" the queen shouted angrily.
King Lian froze up after being yelled at, and looked at her in aggrieved silence.
Fengyi Palace was silent. After the queen adjusted her mood, she stared at the palace maid and asked, "Has Princess Xuan entered the palace today?"
The palace maid nodded hurriedly, "We are already at Changle Palace!"
"Go and invite her over." The queen said coldly.
"yes!"
In Changle Palace, Shen Luoxi and Cang Chenru had just told them what they needed to pay attention to later, when they turned around and saw Ning Yanran eagerly serving tea and water to Concubine Wen.
She frowned slightly, "It's a good thing for my sister to take care of Concubine Wen, but if Concubine Wen drinks too much tea, it will affect the fetus in her belly."
Concubine Wen, who was about to drink it, quickly stopped her hand. Ning Yanran looked at Shen Luoxi with a smile, "Sister is right, but I am not a careless person."
"Spiny dates can help Concubine Wen soothe her nerves and help her have a good night's sleep. Doesn't the medicine that my sister prescribed to Concubine Wen also contain tonics that can calm her nerves?"
Just as Shen Luoxi was about to retort, the palace maid who delivered the message came in.
"Princess Xuan, the Queen wants to see you."
Shen Luoxi narrowed his eyes slightly, swallowed the words on his lips for the time being, and followed the messenger maid out of Changle Palace.
Ning Yanran's eyes flickered as she looked at her back, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Soon, Shen Luoxi followed the maid who conveyed the message to Fengyi Palace. When she saw King Lian sitting next to the queen, a coldness flashed in her eyes.
"See the Queen, Your Highness Prince Lian."
