"Okay, okay, I appreciate the kindness of you two. Don't embarrass others."
Xia Tan'er was really afraid that if things continued like this, the two of them would start a quarrel among the public. Seeing that each of them was in a high position but had a more childish temperament, Xia Tan'er didn't know how they pretended to be so aloof and so cold that they were almost like gods.
"Since Tan'er has spoken, let's forget it for now. The waiter will bring over whatever good food and drinks he has."
"Okay, the guest officer will come immediately."
Xia Tan'er naturally wouldn't stop Nan Ling Mu from treating him generously. Seeing that he had almost arranged it, it was time to get back to the topic and discuss it.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, how is your information investigation going? The safety of your royal brothers and sisters."
Mentioning this, Nan Lingmu's face suddenly collapsed and revealed a hint of melancholy.
"Tan'er... it's just as you expected. The people Xiao Wang sent to inquire came back and reported that a group of them disappeared at the border of Nanling and Dongling. Needless to say, they must have been taken away by the group of horse bandits."
Xia Tan'er looked up at the stall where she was eating and glanced at Nan Lingmu, with a teasing smile on her lips.
"If you want to fight for the throne, you should be happy about this. So is this expression true or false?"
Nan Lingmu raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Tan'er. He really didn't expect that Xia Tan'er's heart would be so meticulous.
It's a pity that he really has no intention of competing for the throne and is really worried about his brothers and sisters.
If he could, he really just wanted to be an idle prince with a fiefdom, living happily every day while living happily. It's not like he didn't know how to scheming, but he was really too tired.
Nan Lingmu clearly understood that even if he told Xia Tan'er and the others, they wouldn't believe it. Who would believe that a prince who is within easy reach of the throne would not want to inherit the throne?
"Why doesn't His Highness the Second Prince speak?"
"Xiao Wang is just surprised, Tan'er, that you would ask such a question."
"What's wrong with asking this kind of question? Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. Of course I will care about who succeeds Nanling in the future."
"Listen to Tan'er, do you think the little king is qualified for the throne?"
"It doesn't matter to me whether I win or not. I only care whether the person who ascends the throne is familiar with me."
These words were blurted out so openly, which shocked the other three people at the table. Dong Lingjiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes narrowed with admiration.
His tan'er is just different.
"If His Highness the Second Prince wants to ascend the throne, I wouldn't mind using my Lu family to help you. I just don't know what you think, His Highness the Second Prince."
Xia Tan'er's eyes looked straight into Nan Ling Mu's eyes. The sincerity in her eyes could withstand all Nan Ling Mu's prying. Looking at her with such eyes, Nan Ling Mu was not sure for a moment who Xia Tan'er was. What's the meaning.
At this moment he didn't know whether he should tell the truth or lie.
Xia Tan'er is a thoughtful person, and all lies are invisible to her.
Nan Lingmu raised his eyes and looked at each other, constantly weighing in his mind whether she was a trustworthy person.
At this moment, Feng Muchi, who was sitting opposite, spoke.
"Nan Lingmu, based on my experience, I advise you to tell Tan'er truthfully. The consequences of deceiving Tan'er will not be easy."
