"Pingting?"
When she heard Xiao Zhan's voice, Mu Pingting immediately came back to reality from her memories. She shook her head, dispelled the thought in her mind, and looked towards Xiao Zhan: "What's the matter?"
Hearing that Royal Father has asked for you all to leave immediately, I have already ordered some people to help you pack your luggage, aren't you going to take a look? Although Xiao Zhan did not move from the thought in his head, he understood that it was related to Han Shengyuan.
When he thought of her slightly sorrowful expression, he could only feel a peculiar emotion surging in his heart.
"Your Royal Highness, I didn't think that you would be so considerate." Mu Pingting raised her eyebrows, even she herself did not realize, and her tone had become slightly mocking.
Xiao Zhan laughed extremely naturally, "That's right, my Pingting is sometimes too rash. If it wasn't for this king's help, I wouldn't have been able to think of anything else along the way."
Mu Pingting shot a glance at him, did not bother with him anymore, and returned to the Rain Listening House with Qing Luan. Although Xiao Zhan helped them pack up and pay respects, it was not as reassuring as coming here personally.
"Miss, you're here." When the old woman guarding the door saw Mu Pingting walking over, she anxiously went forward to welcome him. "We heard about this from the prince's mouth, she has already packed your luggage, we hope that Miss can have a look."
Mu Pingting nodded and entered the room, only to see a clean and clean two rows of salutes. Mu Pingting walked forward to take a closer look, and saw a stack of items that the man had used: "What is this man's item?"
"Of course it's This King's item." Xiao Zhan slowly walked forward, the fan in his hand tapped against the center of his palm. "This king accompanies Pingting to Jiangnan, so naturally, you also need to bring your luggage with you."
"Your Highness wants to go as well?" She thought that she would be able to use this opportunity to get rid of Xiao Zhan. She didn't expect that he would actually stick close to her!
Xiao Zhan didn't say a word and only took a few steps forward, enveloping Mu Pingting within his range of control. Feeling his aura lingering around his body, Mu Pingting felt suffocated and his heartbeat sped up.
"Pingting." Xiao Zhan pressed his body onto Mu Pingting's body, and entwined the hair at her temples with his fingers. "Don't forget, you will be this king's consort."
Mu Pingting still had time to reply before she leaned even closer. "Wherever this king's consort goes, this king will definitely follow."
"Prince, I don't think I've promised to be your consort yet!" Mu Pingting raised her eyebrows, "Since that's the case, then I ask that you don't think that it's a one-sided deal."
Not only was Xiao Zhan not making a fuss, the smile on his face became even wider, "Not now, but sooner or later."
Mu Pingting took a deep breath, and understood that she would never be Xiao Zhan's match in terms of shamelessness. "Prince, your name wasn't mentioned in Jiang Nan's decree, and your majesty only mentioned me and Young Master Han. I don't think this has anything to do with you. "
"If Pingting is worried about this, there's no need at all. As long as this king requests Royal Father, we can request for an official order. " Xiao Zhan did not take this to heart at all. Royal Father did not even have the time to be happy about this matter, how could he object?
"Your Highness, why do you insist on running with me? Are you really so free that you don't have anything important to do?" Mu Pingting retreated a few steps, and widened the distance between him and Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan bowed slightly and whispered into Mu Pingting's ear, "This king is not looking for trouble, but is accompanying this king in the future, the consort."
Mu Pingting was immediately discouraged, and only felt a little tired. It was as if everything she said could be implicated by Xiao Zhan.
"Miss, Young Master Han is waiting at the door with a carriage." Qing Luan rushed in from outside and accidentally saw Xiao Zhan and Mu Pingting hugging each other tightly. Her little face turned red, and her black eyes looked a little embarrassed besides shock.
What should she do now? Should she leave or stay where she was? However, every one of them seemed extremely awkward.
Mu Pingting took note of the expression on Qing Luan's face. She, who was usually thick-skinned, could not help but blush, and let out an awkward cough as she walked out from Xiao Zhan's hold: "Cough cough, Qing Luan has ordered a few attendant s to help me carry these greetings."
Qing Luan hurriedly replied as she called a few little maidservant in from the door and helped Mu Pingting carry the bag out. Mu Pingting walked out of the room without even turning her head around, but her footsteps seemed to be a little hurried.
Xiao Zhan quietly stood behind her and watched her figure recede into the distance. Unexpectedly, he didn't catch up to her.
A black figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Zhan, "Master."
"Although Pingting has gone south for a few days, you have to protect her well. If she were to lose even a single strand of hair, I will take you as a test." Although Xiao Zhan laughed and said these words, hearing it caused people's hearts to turn cold.
"Yes." The shadow general lowered his head even more, "Is Master not going to follow Miss Mu?"
Xiao Zhan thoughtfully stroked his chin with his slender fingers. "This king will follow you right now, I'm afraid Pingting will kick me out of the carriage."
A group of people had stopped at the Mu's Mansion entrance. It was a sight rarely seen even in the capital, not to mention that the man seated on the horse was the former fiancé of Miss Mu's Mansion!
Such a bizarre scene attracted the attention of passersby, causing them to speculate about what had happened.
The moment Mu Pingting stepped out of the Mu's Mansion, he attracted everyone's attention, and the sounds of discussion around him became even louder. With a slight frown, she walked towards the carriage in the crowd.
"Pingting, you're finally here." When Han Shengyuan saw Mu Pingting's figure, the impatience in her eyes immediately disappeared, and she forced a pitiful look out, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"What happened with Pingting last time was really my fault. I have already gone through a deep reflection, and hope to obtain your forgiveness!" As Han Shengyuan said this, he took a step forward, wanting to hold onto Mu Pingting's hand, but was dodged by Mu Pingting.
"Please take care of yourself, Young Master Han. I think it would be better if you focus all of your attention on Little Sister Jiang."
A disappointed and injured expression appeared on Han Shengyuan's face, "Pingting, I know you still care about what happened last time, but please believe that it's not my fault!"
A cold smile appeared on Mu Pingting's face, "Unfortunately, I do not know what Young Master Han is talking about, nor do I know why he is apologizing."
"Pingting, you know what I mean!" Han Shengyuan grabbed Mu Pingting's hand, and looked at him with eyes filled with sincerity, "That night, it was indeed Jiang Chenbi who seduced me first; I didn't willingly do such a thing."
When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, they couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.
