The princess is so sweet and charming that she can't escape if she offends the prince.

Chapter 22 The feel of eight-pack abs

The secret guard watching Ruan Ning now is new and takes over from Ling Xiao. He takes Ruan Ning to find the prince?Of course it's impossible!
Although she was rejected, Ruan Ning was not discouraged. Xiao Lan had spies, and so did she. Xiao Lan had to take care of many things when she first arrived in the capital, and socializing was naturally indispensable.

With their status, they don't make noises with gongs and drums when they go out, but they also have a strong presence, so it's not easy to find him.

Things should happen sooner rather than later. When he learned that Xiao Lan would go out that night, Ruan Ning followed without hesitation.

*
Speaking of which, the location of this trip is a bit embarrassing. It is actually the most famous Huaqing Pool in the capital, which is a place dedicated to hot springs.

Fortunately, people in ancient times were conservative and wore pants even when bathing in hot springs, so that she would not see things she shouldn't.

Ruan Ning dressed up as a young man and sneaked in. After seeing Xiao Lan, he kept waiting.

I saw Xiao Lan and his party entering the side room after eating in the private room, and it seemed that they were going to stay here.

After everyone dispersed and Xiao Lan was alone, Ruan Ning was sure that no one would come again and followed him.

After approaching the house, looking at the mist in front of it, Ruan Ning discovered that there was actually a hot spring pool here, and Xiao Lan was sitting in it.

Ruan Ning couldn't help but be speechless. He really knew how to enjoy it. It was so luxurious.

She tentatively moved forward, hoping to wait until she was closer before speaking, so as to avoid being kicked out without even getting close to anyone.

*
Xiao Lan was leaning on the edge of the pool. When he heard the noise, he thought it was the boy delivering fruit, so he said, "Put the things here, go down."

However, when he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed something wrong with the footsteps of the person behind him, and he immediately became alert.

The next second, Xiao Lan stood up suddenly, and the water on his body sloped down, making a splash. He stretched out his long arm, grabbed the unsuspecting Ruan Ning, and directly lifted him into the pool and pressed him against the edge of the pool. Grab your throat.

Ruan Ning was startled by the sudden turn of events. He let out an "ah" in pain, and then said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's me."

Xiao Lan looked at Ruan Ning's face and frowned, but still relaxed his strength and said calmly: "Who asked you to come."

Ruan Ning coughed twice: "Ahem, I came here myself. I have something to ask of you."

Ruan Ning subconsciously moved his hands and found that his hands felt quite good, tough and yet tough.

She realized later that during the sudden change, she subconsciously put her hand on Xiao Lan's chest, so what she was touching now was... Xiao Lan's chest muscles?

Looking down, she saw the legendary eight-pack abs, which were well-defined. Although there were some old scars on them, they did not affect the beauty at all, but added a bit of tough guy temperament.

What does it mean to look thin when dressed, but to look fat when undressed? Even Ruan Ning, who has seen countless young and beautiful women, can't help but sigh that Xiao Lan has such a face and such a figure, it is really amazing.

Thinking of her previous comfort to Ruan Xin that pursuing a career as a man was better than pursuing a career, Ruan Ning felt that there were still special cases. It would be great to get such a man.

Just when Ruan Ning was obsessed with beauty, with a "pop" sound, Xiao Lan knocked off her dirty hand with a sullen face, almost gritting his molars and said: "Haven't you touched it enough?"

Ruan Ning was startled and realized that although he had the body of a wolf-dog, he also had the temper of a dog. She couldn't digest such a person. She got down to business:

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you for a favor. The government has not given me approval for my new store, so I can't open it now. Can you help me operate it?"

Xiao Lan didn't even give her a look, and pretended to go ashore, with a cold voice: "I have no habit of meddling in other people's business." Ruan Ning said hurriedly: "How can this be nosy? You forgot, I still want to help You are gathering information."

Xiao Lan sneered: "You think you are the only one in this world."

Ruan Ning was angry, but she didn't dare to get angry. Just when she was about to express her feelings and reason, she saw someone coming in from outside the hospital.

Sneaking in here is really not a glorious thing, Ruan Ning doesn't want others to know, she instinctively pulls Xiao Lan and asks him to block in front of her.

Xiao Lan, who had already gone up one step, was pulled down with a "plop" and water splashed everywhere.

When the young man who came in saw this situation, his eyes immediately widened. Hey, mandarin ducks are playing in the water. The one who just gave him the beauty was still resisting. It turns out that the beauty is hidden in the golden house.

Xiao Lan lowered his eyes and looked at Ruan Ning, who was sneaking in front of him, and almost laughed angrily: "You also know that you can't see people."

After waiting for a few seconds, Ruan Ning heard the footsteps of the boy leaving. He boldly straightened his neck and laughed awkwardly:
"Your Majesty, you see that I'm like this, so please help me. This store I opened is really the only one in heaven and on earth. If you are strangled in the cradle like this, you will definitely regret it. When it opens, I will send you If you have a VIP card, you can get a discount."

At this point, Ruan Ning paused and took out his trump card: "Besides, you and my brother are old acquaintances, right? You're not willing to help with such a little effort?"

Xiao Lan's eyes moved to the distance. He somewhat agreed with what Pei Jing said before. Ruan Ning was indeed a wonderful person, but it was not interesting, but funny. He was actually a little interested and wanted to see what she could do. What, besides, Ruan Xun’s face can be given.

Xiao Lan pulled away Ruan Ning's hand and said expressionlessly: "I know."

Ruan Ning was originally going to make a long speech, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped and said exaggeratedly: "My lord, you are such a good man, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Lan suddenly spoke: "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't count anymore."

Ruan Ning immediately fell silent, put his hand to his lips, made a zipper movement, and nodded obediently.

*
Ruan Ning thought that Xiao Lan was a man of his word, and when she saw that he agreed, she felt relieved. Now that the matter was done, she could sleep peacefully.

After Ruan Ning left, Xiao Lan had no intention of soaking in any more hot springs. After entering the house, he was about to get dressed when he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw two scratches on his body.

Thinking of Ruan Ning's hands on him just now, his face immediately darkened, and he couldn't help but curse.

*
However, with the help of Xiao Lan, Ruan Ning's store did not go smoothly. The day before the opening, just when she was ready, Li Shiqi and her father, who was the prime minister, filed a lawsuit against Ruan Ning.

The complaint lists several charges against her, including being subversive and disrespectful, selling inferior goods, behaving inappropriately, not being a woman, and being a licentious woman.

The first charge is the main one, and the rest are just minor charges, which will ruin Ruan Ning's reputation.

And this crime of disrespect refers to her disrespect for the third prince. Now that it is only a month since the third prince's death, Ruan Ning is going to the capital in a big way to build momentum. Her intentions are to be punished.

In view of Ruan Ning's previous relationship with the third prince, this matter also attracted the attention of the third prince's mother and concubine. The pain of losing her son had not yet been eliminated, so finally she found someone to vent to, and Concubine Li would not miss it.

She also added fuel to the fire and asked the emperor to severely punish Ruan Ning.
