C136 Chapter 136

Jiegeng was in a state of losing control and Yang Lanqing half pushed and half pulled Jiegeng out of the restaurant.

The dispute between Duan Shuang and Jiegeng in the restaurant had once again become the talk of the entire city after dinner.

"Have you heard? Previously, it was still rumored that Princess Renxi might marry into Zhen'an King's Mansion. It has only been a few days and it has already become very noisy."

"Just tell me, how could this prince be so loyal to someone? If he really liked her, why didn't he marry into the prefecture earlier?"

"I say, it is definitely because that Princess Renxi's temper is too bad. I heard that the princess directly scolded Zhen'an King in front of so many people in the restaurant that day. "

"What? She actually cursed His Royal Highness!"

"Exactly!"

Among the common people, one person, one word, and this matter immediately spread throughout the capital.

"Miss, are you going out today?" Shao saw Jiegeng's intentions and immediately panicked.

"Miss, look at the sky. It seems like it is going to rain soon. Better not go out."

Jiegeng had been exhausted these few days and wanted to go out to get some fresh air. When she heard Shao's words, she looked at the sky.

"Such a big sun, is it going to rain?" Jiegeng could not believe it.

"Miss, don't look at the sun now, in a while..."

"Alright, stop playing dumb." Jiegeng also saw through Shao's trick, "Why are you stopping me from going out?"

"Miss, this..."

She said, "Speak!"

Jiegeng had been moody these few days and when Jiegeng realized that her voice was only a little louder, Shao immediately thought that she was angry.

"Miss do not be angry. Right now the rumors outside are all baseless rumors. I am afraid that if Miss hears it, it will affect her mood."

"What is it? Just tell me directly."

Shao hesitated again.

Jiegeng started to walk away.

Shao immediately stopped Jiegeng, "Alright, Miss. I will say it." It was better to tactfully tell Miss than to let those words directly enter her ears.

"That is to say that back then when the Royal Highness took a fancy to Miss, it was just that he was blinded for a moment. Someone also said that what did Miss use to threaten the Royal Highness? That was why the Royal Highness would condone Miss in every way. That is to say, back then when the Royal Highness took a fancy to Miss, it was just that he was blinded for a moment. Some even said... "

"Continue!"

"He said that previously, the young lady was given such preferential treatment because she had the child of the Royal Highness. Now that the child is gone... Young lady, don't be angry. These are the jokes of the people in the city. They can't be taken seriously."

To Shao's surprise, after Jiegeng heard it, she actually maintained her calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Miss, actually as long as the Royal Highness comes out to say something, these rumors will naturally be solved by themselves." Shao did not know what exactly happened between the two of them. In her impression, every time His Highness came here, he would be obedient to Miss. He was very considerate. And to this day, Zhen'an King's Mansion still sent all kinds of things over without stopping. The rumors outside simply sounded unreasonable.

"He won't speak for me." If she had met Duan Shuang in the restaurant, Jiegeng would have had a glimmer of hope in her heart. But now, it was gone.

"Alright, if you don't want to go out, then don't go out." Jiegeng just happened to return to her room and sent a message to Shao, "Send someone to the Right Prime Minister's Estate to see if there is any news about Mr Hsiang."

"Yes, Miss."

Zhen'an King's Mansion.

"Your Royal Highness, Miss Yang Lanqing is here to visit."

"Who?" Duan Shuang frowned. He had no idea what was going on.

"Miss Yang said she is Princess Renxi's friend." The butler immediately returned.

In the past, these strange people would never report to Duan Shuang. However, since the last time Duan Shuang returned to the manor after getting drunk, he had been handling official documents day and night. He did not even give himself a chance to rest. The butler was afraid that Duan Shuang's body would get worse if he continued like this. He didn't care about anything else and directly reported him to the butler.

"Oh, it's her." Duan Shuang continued to immerse himself in the official document, and there was no follow-up.

"I'll ask her to leave now." The butler sighed.

"Wait" Duan Shuang suddenly raised his head and tossed the thing in his hand to the side. He said, "Let her in."

"Greetings, Your Highness." Yang Lanqing saw Duan Shuang and immediately got up. She even specially made it more mischievous.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Royal Highness, I am here today to speak on Ms Jiegeng's behalf." Yang Lanqing said with a pure face. "That day at the restaurant, Big Sister must have been in a bad mood. That's why she spoke to the Royal Highness like that. I hope the Royal Highness doesn't blame big sister too much." At this moment, Yang Lanqing was like a young girl who was fighting for justice for her own sister. She was quick-witted and cute.

Duan Shuang had been in a suppressed state for the past few days. He had bumped into her by himself, and it just so happened that Duan Shuang was using her to make fun of her.

"What has this got to do with you?" Duan Shuang even deliberately gave her a smile.

"Of course it has to do with me. Ms Jiegeng treats me so well. She had a conflict with the prince. As a younger sister, she should naturally help her a little." Yang Lanqing said as if it was a matter of course.

Duan Shuang snorted lightly and gradually revealed a smile. "Are you not afraid of me?"

Speaking of this, Yang Lanqing's heart was pounding. However, it was not as good as a tiger's den. It was not as good as a tiger's den. If it was still the same as those girls who had gotten close to Zhen'an King in the past, of course, she had no chance of winning at all. Looking at the outcome of Ho Lingloong and Lau Yunyan, it was obvious that a gentle body person would definitely not work. On the contrary, it was like Jiegeng, who was not afraid of anything and was naturally a cute girl. Only then would Zhen'an King be able to enter his heart.

And this point was undoubtedly like heaven's help to Yang Lanqing.

"Lanqing did not do anything wrong. What she is doing now is also an act of justice. Am I scary? Furthermore, Your Highness, you are not a flood or a ferocious beast, you are a famous War King. Naturally, there is a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Why should I be afraid of you?"

"You are quite bold. You are indeed similar to Jiegeng in the past."

When Yang Lanqing heard the words "similar" for the first time, she already had some plans in her heart. Now that she heard these words again, Yang Lanqing was sure that her actions were not wrong.

Now, it was likely that after Jiegeng got Zhen'an King's affection, she became more and more arrogant, which led to the Royal Highness starting to get annoyed with her.

Looking at Yang Lanqing, Duan Shuang suddenly felt that she would be the best candidate to make Jiegeng hate him.

"You have said what you wanted to say. You can leave now." Duan Shuang no longer looked at Yang Lanqing and continued to pick up the official document.

"Yes. I hope that the king and sister can make up for it." Yang Lanqing once again blessed herself. Favorability needed time to accumulate and she could not rush it.

Hence, Yang Lanqing immediately tactfully left the Imperial Residence.

After Yang Lanqing left, the servants of the Imperial Residence could not help but ask the housekeeper, "Is the mistress of the Imperial Residence going to change again?"

"Foolish thing," The butler could not help but curse, "How can you interfere with Mistress's matters?"

The servants who were reprimanded immediately retreated.

However, the butler had already come to a conclusion in his heart. There was only one woman who could make the Royal Highness look at her in a new light.
