Ning Xiang hesitated for a few seconds before replying in a vague voice.

"I've heard that those inside are people who disobey the prince and offend his subordinates."

Defying...

Offending...

Xiao Lan once again looked at the warm sun above her head.

It turned out that what he had said about cutting off pieces of her flesh and hanging her corpse on the wall to dry before tossing it into the bottomless chasm was not fake! So it really had happened.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Lan's eyes were dazzled by the sunlight until they turned white. Only then did she lower her eyes and look at Ning Xiang in a trance.

"Little girl, you're right. Xuanyuan Feng is indeed extremely good to me."

"Royal Consort …"

Ning Xiang weakly called out.

What happened to the princess? The voice was so hollow that it made people feel afraid.

Along the way, Ning Xiang glanced at Xiao Lan from time to time, feeling more and more that something had happened to her.

Xiao Lan, who ate very little lunch and dinner, became even more anxious.

At night, Ning Xiang stayed outside Xiao Lan's room, not even half a step away from her. She was thinking that if anything happened to her own wangfei, she would immediately hear about it.

Inside the room.

Xiao Lan laid on the bed and the blanket was filled with the fragrance of dragon saliva. Although this smell was faint, it couldn't be overlooked in the slightest.

Xiao Lan had been unable to close her eyes to sleep because the moment she closed her eyes to smell this scent, Xuanyuan Po's appearance would immediately appear in her mind and his eyebrows would appear extremely clearly in front of her eyes.

Xiao Lan grabbed the corner of the blanket and lifted it. She sat up and leaned against the bed with her eyes closed, distancing herself from the aura that caused her heart to tremble.

That night, Xiao Lan sat for another night, but luckily, she slept for a while while while sitting.

On the morning of the second day, it was unavoidable that Xiao Lan's expression began to become haggard.

When Ning Xiang saw this, she became more anxious. She thought that if the prince came back and saw the wangfei like this, wouldn't he blame them for not serving him well enough?

Xiao Lan still used very little for breakfast as the fragrance started to swirl around non-stop.

What should he do...

Outside the courtyard.

Ning Xiang lightly walked over to Xiao Lan, who was dozing off on a bamboo chair, and asked with a tone of consultation.

"Princess, Ning Xiang, can I get you some tea?"

Xiao Lan, who had his eyes closed, directly shook her head. "No need."

Ning Xiang immediately bit her lips. She was finished. She didn't even want to drink tea anymore.

At this moment, a maidservant walked over with a delicate box in her hand.

The female servant saw that Xiao Lan was resting on the bamboo chair, so she didn't dare to disturb her. She walked to the side of Ning Xiang and whispered to her.

"Miss Ning Xiang, this is a cake personally made by the five ladies of the Music Dance Hall. They say it's made with filial piety and filial piety."

As soon as Ning Xiang heard this, her expression relaxed. Eating?

Great.

The wangfei ate very little yesterday and today. Perhaps the food made by the Fifth Miss, Liu Yan, would be enjoyed by the wangfei.

Ning Xiang immediately took the box and turned to look at Xiao Lan. "Princess, this is food sent by the Fifth Miss. You …"

When she turned around, Xiao Lan, who was pretending to be asleep, had already opened her eyes. Her gaze was also on the food box, but her eyes were flashing with a deep and unfathomable light. At this moment, even if Xiao Lan was pure, she could still tell that something was off.

"Royal Consort …"

Xiao Lan withdrew her gaze from the food box. "Bring it over."

Hm?

"Alright..."

Ning Xiang dazedly placed the food box on the stone table beside Xiao Lan.

"Take out the things inside."

"..."

Ning Xiang was stunned once again. What was inside? 'Could it be that wangfei wants to eat pastries? Then from her gaze just now … '

He placed the pastries on the table one by one with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Lan raised his head and looked over. There were nearly seven to eight types of pastries, each of which were extremely exquisite. Making such pastries would take quite a bit of time and effort.

Time and effort …

Xiao Lan casually took out a piece of osmanthus cake that was closest to her.

Fifth Miss Liu Yan … It was too polite.

Ning Xiang looked at Xiao Lan with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand why her own wangfei would be so serious about looking at a piece of osmanthus cake. Could it be that the design of the osmanthus cake wasn't beautiful?

"Princess, is there a problem with that?"

Xiao Lan lifted her head and glanced indifferently at Ning Xiang. After that, her gaze directly fell on the female servant who brought the food box over.

"Where's the five ladies?"

The maidservant bowed, "Reporting to the wangfei, the five ladies are waiting outside the Wordless Pavilion. Without your summons, she won't be able to enter the Wordless Pavilion."

"Oh." Xiao Lan put the pastries back on the plate. "Let her in."

"Yes." The female servant obediently withdrew and went to call Liu Yan.

Liu Yan, who received the summons, brought Ke Er to the Wordless Pavilion's inner courtyard.

Upon stepping into the Wordless School, Ke Er continuously looked left and right, and her voice was filled with joy and novelty.

"Miss, the Prince's Wordless Pavilion is truly luxurious and beautiful."

Hearing this, Liu Yan's steps slowed down as she looked to her left and right.

Yes, his place was really luxurious and beautiful.

After a moment, Liu Yan smiled bitterly. If it wasn't for this order, she probably wouldn't be able to step into this Wordless Pavilion for the rest of her life.

When the female servant leading the way saw that Liu Yan and Ke Er had descended a long way, she couldn't help but urge them.

"Fifth Miss, can you leave quickly?"

The urgency made Liu Yan quickly recover, and she quickly replied, "Okay, okay."

Seeing this, Ke'er pouted. She didn't want to let him go.

Seeing Ke Er's temper, Liu Yan smiled as she raised her arm and lightly tapped on Ke Er's forehead.

"What are you pouting for? It's our fault. Look around. There's no rule at all."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, Ke'er straightforwardly replied, "Royal Consort has no rules at all. See who dares to say anything about her."

Liu Yan immediately covered Ke'er's mouth with her hand. "Are you crazy? How dare you say something like that?"

Only now did Ke Er realize what she had said, and for a moment her face went ghastly pale.

That's right, was she crazy?!

No one spoke for the rest of the journey as they all felt fear in their hearts, but Ke Er's words were more or less carved into Liu Yan's heart.

No one dared to say anything. No, no one dared to say anything, and she even received the favor of the prince.

She … I really envy her.

When they arrived at the inner courtyard, Liu Yan quickly saw Xiao Lan, who was sitting on a bamboo chair.

"Liu Yan greets you, consort."

Xiao Lan raised her gaze and swept her indifferent gaze over Liu Yan.

The girl in front of him was demure and beautiful. She didn't deny that she didn't have any enmity towards her. In fact, she even had some admiration for her.

The smile at the corner of her mouth was Anya's, and the chess game that day had shown her that she had a good character and that her good impression of her had increased. However, all of this didn't mean that she was showing that she could get close to her, or even that she had a more intimate relationship with her.

Liu Yan didn't hear Xiao Lan's response and slowly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Lan.

"Princess …"

Xiao Lan looked back at Liu Yan, her expression cold and profound.

Seeing Xiao Lan's gaze, Liu Yan seemed to understand something. She knew that her kindness and proximity would definitely arouse the Regent's Consort's suspicions. However, she didn't expect it to happen so soon. It was only the third day.

Liu Yan's voice was tactful. "Royal Consort, Liu Yan has no ill intentions."

Liu Yan's words caused Xiao Lan to be stunned. It seemed like she already knew what she was going to ask. She was quite smart.
