Morong Gan sat in the tub for a long time until the water started to cool down.
He recalled what happened just now, from beginning to end, little by little, carefully screened. Her panic, her fear, her pretended calmness, her unprecedented enthusiasm in responding to him, her slight tremble in reprimanding Du Changfeng …
She had tried her best to draw a clear line between his and Du Changfeng just to protect him from killing Du Chengfeng. They were currently doing well, but in her heart, there was always a little corner that was left for Du Changfeng. If he didn't tell her, it would be good if she was willing to put on an act.
The rain outside was still pouring down, making it so that he could sleep well during the rainy night. However, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
After causing such a commotion, Qi Hong and Lv He had woken up early and were quietly guarding outside the door. However, no one dared to open their mouths to advise him against it.
Yue Gui went to see Bai Qianfan. Seeing her sitting on the side of the bed in a daze, he became a little confused. Tonight, everyone who saw this would stand by the Prince Chu's side.
"It's useless to think about it. Go to sleep."
Bai Qianfan asked, "Where is the Prince?"
"He's still not out of the Horn Chamber."
"Haven't you finished washing?"
"Probably."
"Your Highness …" Are you angry? "
Since she took the initiative to mention it, Yue Yue Yue couldn't help but say a few words. "Your Highness has put you at the top of his heart to love you, yet you still rush back in the middle of the night under the rain. But you, you've turned out like this."
"Can you blame me?" How did I know Du Changfeng was here? "
"You should have shouted when you saw him. The servants rushed in to prove your innocence. "Hmph, it's good now, the two of you are alone in the dark."
"It's not as if I'm just lighting a lamp in the dark."
"If you don't want this to get out of hand, you can just call me your servant. Three people is better than two. You were still protecting him, why didn't you let the prince kill him? Other than this source of disaster, we will end this once and for all. "
Bai Qianfan looked at her in shock, "How can you just kill someone like that?"
Yue Gui said, "This Du Changfeng is too much. He has caused trouble for you time and time again, does he not like you and purposely cause trouble for you?"
"He's not that kind of person."
"You see, you are still protecting him?" She suddenly turned pale and signaled Bai Qianfan.
Bai Qianfan immediately crawled onto the bed and climbed into the blanket. Soon enough, she heard Morong Gan's footsteps, and leisurely walked over to the bedside. As if she had only stood there for a while, she took off her blanket and laid down on the bed as usual, but didn't reach out to hug her.
Bai Qianfan lied on her side. Although she felt wronged, she could understand why. He was a proud man who loved her with his heart close to her lungs. When she encountered such a thing, his heart would more or less be in a mess. The laurel was right, it was her fault that she did not call for help at the first possible moment, turning the situation into such a situation.
In fact, it was not long before daybreak already. Morong Gan closed his eyes and dozed off. He had her back facing him, and from the back, he could not tell that she was pregnant at all. His narrow and slender back made him feel pity for her.
He wanted to go over and kiss her lightly on the shoulder, as he always did. But... With a deep sigh in his heart, he quickly turned around and left the bed.
After washing up and dressing up, Ning Jiu and Jia Tong stood at the bottom of the hallway with one expressionless and one miserable.
He did not say anything and only glanced at Ning Jiu. Ning Jiu then made a gesture, turned and let him walk in front. Jia Tong's lips moved uncontrollably, wanting to catch up, but was tripped by Ning Jiu and almost fell to the ground, his cold eyes swept over and warned him silently.
Jia Tong sulked, and did not dare to make a move.
When Morong Gan left the room, Bai Qianfan was actually already awake. She opened her eyes to look at the cloud patterns on the account and heard him quickly get off the bed. She was usually as good as a person, but now she suddenly had a new lease on life. She was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Since he had something on his mind, he couldn't sleep soundly either. He simply got up and entered the room to wait. "Please take the initiative today. I can see that the prince has not even finished his breakfast and has already left for the yamen."
Bai Qianfan was anxious, "You're so angry that you can't even eat?"
"Who would be able to eat in such a situation?" The laurel tied her with a colored tapestry. While stroking the wrinkles on her skirt, she said, "If it were someone else, they would have slapped their face a long time ago. But Your Highness didn't say anything important."
"He said he was going to kill me last night."
"Kill you?" Yue Lao scoffed, "Can't you just say something harsh like that to him? Don't even think about killing him, has he even touched you once?"
Bai Qianfan frowned, "It's my fault, I will go and apologize to him."
"Yes, we have to go. Your highness hasn't eaten breakfast, so you should send it to him. Be more attentive and say a few soft words. Who knows, this matter might be over then."
Bai Qianfan acknowledged, "I will listen to you."
However, when she carried the Food Box to the yamen, she did not see Morong Gan, but only saw Ning Jiu and Jia Tong.
She asked Jia Tong: "Master, where is the Prince?"
Jia Tong said with a crying face, "Your highness is practicing fist arts."
She felt a little strange. "Isn't Master happy that the Prince is practicing his martial arts?"
Jia Tong, "..." Can I wake up from my happiness? Usually when I practice boxing with wooden stakes, but today, I'm playing with a living person. After a punch, is there still life left?
Bai Qianfan looked around, "Where is the Prince practicing his fist arts?"
Ning Jiu, who had been silent all this time, said in a cold voice, "If the wangfei has matters to discuss with the prince, he can leave behind a message. If there's nothing else, please leave."
Although Ning Jiu was cold, he still treated her with respect and rarely spoke with a cold expression. Bai Qianfan guessed that they found out about what happened last night, and with an embarrassed look on her face, she handed the Food Box over to Jia Tong. "This is your breakfast, after he finishes practicing, remember to tell him to eat."
Jia Tong nodded, seeing that she was about to leave, he let out a sigh anxiously and turned his head: "Is there anything else, Master?"
"He's fine," it was Ning Jiu who replied. He coldly swept a glance across Jia Tong.
Jia Tong looked at Bai Qianfan, then looked at Ning Jiu, and shook her head, "I'm fine."
Bai Qianfan felt that they were being a little weird, but her heart was still a mess, she was too lazy to guess, so she gloomily left.
After Bai Qianfan had walked far away, Ning Jiu coldly said: "If you dare interfere in this matter, if the Duke won't kill you, I'll take action."
Jia Tong lamented, "It's better for a brother to end up like this, my heart... Sigh, it's not in vain for me to be buried with him … "
"Who said he would definitely die?" Ning Jiu was not in a good mood, "If Your Highness wants to kill him, why wait until now?"
"The Prince won't kill him?" Jia Tong was surprised: "We really won't kill him?"
"Your highness wants to kill him, but for the sake of the Heir, you have to be virtuous." Ning Jiu said: "You can avoid death, but you will be unable to escape from death. Just you wait."
