Ruan Tang was standing in the yard, looking at each other from afar with Cheng Yiliu, both of them had sparks in their eyes.
But no one moved.
Nan Feng, who had been guarding the door of the bedroom, quietly entered the room while the two were confronting each other and walked to Chu Mu's bed.
When Chu Mu walked to the bed, he opened his eyes.
"Your Highness, the adult lady is here again."
"Yeah." Chu Mu responded and sat up from the bed.
"You should keep an eye on them and don't cause a big conflict with them, but you can't suppress Cheng Yiliu blindly. When appropriate, persuade Ruan Tang to give her some slack."
Nanfeng scratched his head, puzzled, "Your Highness, by doing this, aren't you afraid that Miss Ruan will be unhappy?"
If she just doesn't want you anymore, where will you go to cry?
"Afraid." How can I not be afraid? Ruan Tang has always been quick to cut through the mess when it comes to relationships. If someone is unhappy, he might just dump him.
But now he wants Cheng Yiliu to relax his vigilance.
She has lived in the palace for more than half a month, but she still refuses to hand over the treasure map.
Her previous experiences, including everything she had done in the northwest, were all suspicious.
He had to suspect that she had a purpose for approaching him.
It's not as simple as wanting to marry him.
But he has no evidence now.
Only when Cheng Yiliu feels that he is not ruthless to her will she relax her vigilance and let go to do what she wants to do.
But he knew that Cheng Yiliu was not a person who trusted others easily, including him.
She would only take the bait if she performed her role well, but Ruan Tang couldn't let Ruan Tang know about this.
Otherwise, she would remain stunned, and her secret might be revealed within a short time of acting.
It's just that during this time, she may need to be wronged.
"Are you still going to do it?"
"Of course, you just do as I say and make changes at any time, but you can't let the two of you notice anything strange."
After Chu Mu explained everything, Nan Feng quietly exited the room and walked to Ruan Tang.
"Miss Ruan, how about I send her away."
Ruan Tang shook his head, "I'll go."
As he spoke, Ruan Tang walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
When Cheng Yiliu saw her coming, he stood up straight and looked as dignified as possible.
"Young lady, are you here again?"
Cheng Yiliu glanced at her and put on a high profile, "I heard that His Highness was sick, so I cooked some porridge and came over to see him."
Ruan Tang lowered his eyes and looked at the food box in her hand.
"That may be a disappointment to Miss Cheng's good intentions. His Highness has taken medicine and has rested. Miss Cheng should come back another day."
"Why should I trust you? I want to see His Highness, and you have no right to stop me."
Ruan Tang frowned.
Although Chu Mu let her into the study last night, didn't he let her get out in the end?
How could she forget all about it the next night? Now you have the nerve to come here shamelessly?
Ruan Tang turned to look at Nan Feng, "Do you think I have the qualifications to stop her?"
Nanfeng looked embarrassed.
If His Highness hadn't told him just now, he would have supported Ruan Tang in blocking Cheng Yiliu with both hands and feet.
But...can he still say that she can stop him now?
Seeing Nan Feng's hesitation, Ruan Tang's face suddenly darkened.
But Cheng Yiliu became even more proud, and his words became even more unpleasant.
"You are just a bed warmer for His Highness. You have no name or status. How can you stop me?"
Nanfeng was still hesitant at first, but when he saw Cheng Yiliu talking about Ruan Tang like this, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Young lady, Miss Ruan is His Highness's most beloved person and will be the princess in the future. If you speak filthy words, please be careful His Highness tears your mouth open."
"You are just a dog slave, why are you barking here? Your Highness's ability to take me into the palace proves that it is not certain who will own the position of princess in the future."
His Highness's face did change last night.
But before Ruan Tang appeared, His Highness was indeed gentle and gentle to her.
When she was in the northwest, she and His Highness got along for a year or two. Although he was taciturn at the time, he would greet her with a smile every time he saw her.
Occasionally, he would come back to their house with her father to have dinner and tell jokes with the sisters.
No matter what, their friendship is still there.
It was just because this woman was hindering her. As long as she was driven away from His Highness, she believed that it would be just around the corner for His Highness to fall in love with her.
Ruan Tang and Chu Mu have been together for so long. In fact, Ruan Tang is most afraid of others saying that she is Chu Mu's bed warmer.
Just because it has been treated as such before.
Now that the relationship between the two has changed, she no longer wants to hear such words, especially to her.
This will remind her of the bad past.
Ruan Tang's face turned a little pale, and he didn't know how to refute Cheng Yiliu for a while.
She and Chu Mu were together, but it was just a tacit understanding between the two, and there was no fixed identity at all. In fact, it seems that it was not wrong to say that she was a bed warmer.
Cheng Yiliu suddenly became even more proud when he saw that her face was not good-looking and Nanfeng also looked deflated.
"Since His Highness has rested, I will come back later."
Cheng Yiliu twisted his waist proudly and left.
Ruan Tang looked at her leaving figure and was immediately discouraged.
It seemed that she had defeated Cheng Yiliu, but in fact, she was the only one who knew that what Cheng Yiliu said just now could be said to have pierced her heart.
She turned to look at Nanfeng, "Lord Nanfeng, I have to go back to the other courtyard beforehand. Please keep an eye on His Highness."
"Miss Ruan, you..."
"I'm fine, let's go first."
Ruan Tang twitched the corners of his lips at him, turned around and left.
Nanfeng glanced at the master bedroom in Canglangyuan, and then glanced at Ruan Tang who was leaving.
Finally, he raised his feet and quickly followed Ruan Tang's footsteps.
"Miss Ruan, let me take you back."
"No, just let the carriage from the mansion take you there. You take good care of His Highness. I will come over when I'm done."
Ruan Tang refused to let Nanfeng send him away, turned around and left quickly.
Not long after, she returned to the other courtyard.
When I got off the bus at the door, I happened to meet Qingfeng coming back from outside.
He also held a jug of wine in his hand.
Ruan Tang was in a bad mood. Seeing him carrying the wine, he stepped forward and grabbed it.
"Give me a taste too."
Qingfeng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he teased: "Were you wronged in the palace? Come back to drink to relieve your sorrow?"
"Fuck you, do I look like I'm going to let myself be the wronged person?"
The corners of Qingfeng's lips curled up slightly, and he stopped poking at her.
"I still have a few bottles of good wine in my room. If you want to drink, I will take them out."
"Take it out, good things should be shared together."
Qingfeng chuckled and took Ruan Tang to his room.
After Ruan Tang got the wine, he didn't bother to move, so he sat down on the soft couch in Qingfeng's room, picked up the teacup on the small table on the soft couch, poured a cup, and drank it all.
The spicy wine slid down his throat, and Ruan Tang couldn't help but frown.
"Why is this wine so spicy?"
The wines Ruan Tang had drunk before were all fruit wines, all of which tasted sweet and mellow.
"Good wine is naturally spicy, what's wrong? Not used to it?"
"Who said that?" Not to be outdone, Ruan Tang directly picked up the wine bottle and took a big sip from the spout.
A stronger spicy smell filled her entire throat, and she couldn't help coughing violently.
Even though she coughed out tears, she still couldn't stop.
Qingfeng, who was sitting opposite her, stood up, walked to her side, and gently patted her back.
"Use wine to relieve your sorrow and make it worse. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Do you still need to hold it in like this in front of me?"
