Tang Ke Xin felt that it was strange hearing the Queen Empress's words. Why did she expose her jade bracelet when she was in danger? You want others to see it? Aren't good things like this supposed to be hidden?
Since Queen had said this, it was naturally inappropriate for Tang Ke Xin to ask any further. She could only suppress the doubt in the bottom of her heart.
"Yes." Tang Ke Xin didn't want to worry Queen anymore, so she replied her softly.
At this moment, Queen has always been using me, not me.
"However, my heart can accompany Queen in the palace." Looking at such a Queen, Tang Ke Xin really couldn't bear to do anything.
"No need. I'm fine. I'll be fine." Queen's voice was somewhat sorrowful but it was filled with certainty. At this moment, Queen had changed back to her usual self.
After that, Ye Lan Chen entered the palace. The Queen did not let him stay for long, and quickly urged him to send Tang Ke Xin back.
Ye Lan Chen was very angry and somewhat sad when he found out about the Aunt Xi.
"The Aunt Xi can actually hurt the Queen Mother, this is too much." After exiting the palace, Ye Lan Chen couldn't help but ask. The usual teasing had already disappeared, and there was a hint of seriousness in it, "If even the Aunt Xi betrayed Imperial Mother, then who else could Imperial Mother believe?"
"So, we have to find the person behind all of this as soon as possible." Tang Ke Xin's eyes slightly narrowed. In the end, all of this was actually caused by the person behind him.
Xiao Cui, Liu Ru Yue, and the Aunt Xi were only that person's chess pieces.
"But in your heart, who do you think that person is? He was able to set traps in the Imperial Palace time and time again, and each time he was stronger than the last. At this moment, the fourth prince also understood what was going on.
"He is indeed very powerful." Tang Ke Xin's face became serious, that man was truly powerful, his every plan and action was flawlessly designed.
It was impossible to defend against it.
"Then would muhou be in danger in the palace?" Ye Lan Chen's eyes flashed in shock, obviously more worried.
"I won't." Tang Ke Xin replied quickly. For some reason, she actually believed what Queen had said just now. She believed that nothing would happen to Queen.
"How do you know?" Ye Lan Chen looked at her, his face filled with suspicion.
"Let's not take the carriage. Let's walk together." Tang Ke Xin didn't know how to explain it to him, and honestly speaking, she didn't want to see Ye Lan Chen's worried look.
The last time he came out with Dong Er, he was called by the third prince before he even went out for a stroll. Then, he directly returned to his residence without even being able to see what the ancient streets looked like.
In the teahouse, the third prince was still sitting in the same room as last time. The guard on the side was reporting something in a low voice, but at the moment, the third prince still had his usual emotionless expression. However, there was a trace of coldness deep in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here." The guard standing by the window suddenly made a sound, and the guard reporting to him stopped.
"Could Crown Prince's sudden visit to the teahouse be related to that matter?" The voice of the guard standing by the window was obviously heavy.
Only, right at this moment, the room was suddenly pushed open, and then, Nan Gong Yi squeezed in with his devilish smile.
"I brought the Crown Prince over for you, you can give it a try." Nan Gong Yi walked in with an unchanging smile.
The Third Prince did not say anything. The guard at the side paused for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Mayor of the Southern Palace to interfere in this matter."
"My family's heart was almost killed, how could I not? "This matter concerns my family's heart, so I have to take care of it." Nan Gong Yi automatically sat down, looked at Ye Lan Jue, and his smile became even more brilliant.
It was obvious that he was doing this on purpose.
Ye Lan Jue's originally cold eyes slightly narrowed. There was a sense of danger that was enough to make people feel as if their bones were being devoured by ice and blood.
Very quickly, Crown Prince was upstairs. Hearing the commotion, Nan Gong Yi became quiet.
Only, Crown Prince had just entered his room.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince and the Miss Tang are here." The guard standing by the window reported again.
"My Heart's also here. That's great. It's been a long time since I last saw my Heart's. I really have a lot of thoughts …" "Nan Gong Yi, who had just quieted down, immediately dashed to the window.
"Tang Ke Xin, stop right there." Only, outside the teahouse, Tang Ke Xin and Ye Lan Chen had just walked in when an angry voice suddenly sounded.
Tang Ke Xin recognized the voice and frowned, why was she still here with Mu Shao Yu?
"Mu Shao Yu, what are you doing?" When Ye Lan Chen blocked in front of Tang Ke Xin, he did have a bit of imposing manner. After all, he was a prince.
Mu Shao Yu was the only one who was afraid of him.
"So it's the Fourth Prince." It was very obvious that Mu Shao Yu did not recognize Ye Lan Chen earlier, and he was surprised to see him now, but then a look of jealousy appeared in his eyes, "Fourth Prince, Tang Ke Xin is my, Mu Shao Yu's, unmarried wife, and Fourth Prince and my, Mu Shao Yu's, unmarried, we are pairing, what does it matter?"
"Why didn't you tell me about it when you were pairing it with Liu Ru Yue every day?" Ye Lan Chen shot him a glance, but did not give much thought to it, and only replied subconsciously.
"You, you, you two?" However, when Mu Shao Yu heard his words, his expression instantly changed.
Ye Lan Chen might have said it unintentionally, but Mu Shao Yu heard wrongly, because Liu Ru Yue was already Mu Shao Yu's woman long ago, and now that Ye Lan Chen used this as an analogy, Mu Shao Yu was certain that there was something between Ye Lan Chen and himself.
"What do we have to do with you? As for the matter of annulling the engagement, the empress had long told the Mu Residence that the marriage between you and her would be annulled sooner or later, so from today onwards, the matter of the heart has nothing to do with you. " Although Ye Lan Chen was normally in a state of madness, now that he said a few words that were not bad, his momentum was also very good.
"At that time, it was Queen who bestowed the marriage upon me, forcing me to marry her. Now you are forcing me to break off the engagement. " In the great hall, Mu Shao Yu laughed coldly with an obvious sneer on his face.
"Mu Shao Yu, you still have the nerve to say that. Yes, the marriage was given by my mother, but, didn't your Mu Family agree to it at the time? Didn't you, Mu Shao Yu agree? Did the Queen Mother even have the slightest intention of forcing him to do so? On the other hand, Master Mu went to the Prime Minister's Estate the next day and gave away the betrothal gift. At that time, even you, Mu Shao Yu, did not stand out and say "no". Ye Lan Chen's face had obviously sunk a bit, and his voice had become even colder. At the moment, his aura had spread, and actually became so powerful, so shocking.
"On the other hand, you, Mu Shao Yu, first did not reject, and then deliberately delayed the marriage, and even bullied and humiliated her, and she actually did not like it, so why don't you agree to annul the engagement?" Ye Lan Chen said word by word, extremely shocking.
"Heh, isn't it a bit unusual to see the fourth prince have such an imposing aura?" In the room, Nan Gong Yi looked at Ye Lan Jue, a profound meaning in his eyes.
Ye Lan Jue did not reply, but his eyes clearly flashed a light.
"Yeah, I have often seen Young Master Mu and Miss Liu bullying Miss Tang. Since you don't like them, why don't you cancel the engagement right now?"
"That's right, that's right, what a terrible bullying, since he doesn't like it then let's retreat, now that the Miss Tang has agreed to retreat, why does he have to be reluctant to retreat?" For a time, the surrounding crowd of spectators also began to discuss in whispers.
When Mu Shao Yu heard the discussions of the crowd, his face clearly became gloomy, and he could not help but lose a bit of face. He then turned to Tang Ke Xin and mocked in anger, "Tang Ke Xin, do you really want to end the engagement? Or was he trying to capture her? If you truly want to end the engagement, why didn't you send back the betrothal gift? It is a family heirloom of our Mu Family, you kept saying that you wanted to end the engagement but didn't return the token.
"Sure, return the confidential items to him." Ye Lan Chen said as he turned to Tang Ke Xin.
"There's even a trusted subordinate?" Only, Tang Ke Xin was a little stunned at the moment. She really did not remember anything, after all, she was not the Tang Ke Xin of the past.
Besides, she didn't have any keepsake?
"Tang Ke Xin, continue pretending, if you don't want to break the engagement, then speak of it, why do you have to play all these tricks. That jade pendant is a treasure passed down in our Mu Family, you never left your side, and now you pretend not to know." The corner of Mu Shao Yu's mouth held a few more hints of ridicule, but the depths of his eyes had also gained an odd glimmer.
He knew that she did not really want to end the engagement.
When Tang Ke Xin heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
What he meant was, Tang Ke Xin had always carried that trusted aide with him and never left his house?
Suddenly, Tang Ke Xin's body stiffened subconsciously, she suddenly thought of something.
Back then, that person wanted to kill her after what happened in the temple. She didn't know that she had transmigrated, so she took out the things on her body to reward him.
At that time, she vaguely remembered that she had given that person a few pieces of silver.
However, at that time, she had felt that apart from the crushed silver, there was also something else. Could it be that it was the thing she wanted to be trusted with?
Tang Ke Xin felt that it was very possible, because ever since that night, she had never seen any kind of jade pendant on her body.
Therefore, Tang Ke Xin felt that the possibility of that happening was extremely high.
In other words, she gave the keepsake of her engagement with Mu Shao Yu to the man from that night?
… ….
If so? Where could she bring it back to Mu Shao Yu?
She still didn't even know who that person was.
In the room, the corners of the third prince's lips curled up slightly.
Nan Gong Yi smiled like a fox.
