Chapter 205 His Attitude
  The two of them sat down to eat, and Chu Lixuan took a piece of meat for himself first.

Chu Lixuan had never eaten something so fragrant before. When he smelled the smell outside, he became greedy. He didn't expect it to be so delicious in the mouth.

After eating a piece of meat, Chu Lixuan took another egg.

The flavor of spices melts between your lips and teeth, extremely mellow!
  Ning Muqing silently took out two of the chicken drumsticks she had stewed, one for herself, one for Chu Lixuan, and one for Xiangxiang.

The chicken legs have been soaked in the marinade for a longer time and are more flavorful. When you bite into it, it will feel like your tongue is dancing.

During this meal, Chu Lixuan looked calm.

But soon, he finished the first bowl of rice.

Xiangxiang saw the empty bowl next to him and said proactively, "Your Majesty, can I serve you another bowl of rice?"

"Ah."

Chu Lixuan did not refuse.

It is unknown whether Xiangxiang took the initiative to give Ning Muqing some face, or whether he wanted to eat it himself.

Xiangxiang smiled happily and hurriedly served a large bowl of rice.

This can be said to be the happiest day for Xiangxiang without eating. The braised meat tastes very fragrant. The prince and his lady did not quarrel at the dinner table. There was also an enemy Tingqin standing beside him awkwardly, like a needle pricking him.

Although neither the young lady nor the prince spoke, just enjoy the meal!
  After eating, Ning Muqing ignored Chu Lixuan and watched with cold eyes how he would handle this matter.

Tingqin looked at Chu Lixuan anxiously. He was neither angry nor said he wanted to let go. That kind of scrutinizing attitude was the most frightening.

Sudden……

Chu Lixuan took out a jade pendant of his own and threw it in front of Tingqin.

Ning Muqing didn't know what he meant.

"Your second brother gave this jade pendant to me before he died. Take it back today." Chu Lixuan said.

Tingqin obviously recognized what it was and what it meant when Chu Lixuan threw something to her. Her eyes were full of shock.

She had stayed in the backyard of the palace for so many years. No matter what she did wrong, the prince would always turn a blind eye. This was all because of the instructions given by Brother Qin before his death.

Now that Chu Lixuan returned the token to her, he meant that he would no longer take care of her.

Suddenly, Tingqin stared at Ning Muqing hatefully.

Ning Muqing stared at her and looked away calmly.

"Your Highness...you...are you really going to ignore my second brother's instructions before he died for Ning Muqing?"

Tingqin asked in disbelief.

At that moment, Tingqin felt a chill coming over her.

"Allowing you to stay in the palace is against the rules. If it weren't for the sake of your second brother, do you think I would still keep you here at this time?"

Chu Lixuan narrowed his eyes with a dangerous look.

she……

In fact, I shouldn’t have stayed in the palace in the first place.
  All the maids in the palace will be released to marry when they reach old age.

When her second brother's accident happened, she was already old enough to get married. It was she who relied on her second brother's affection to beg the prince to keep her in the palace, saying that it would make her feel like his second brother was still there.

The prince reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"I...I...I..., Prince..., slave...I know my mistake!"

Listening to Qin stuttering, she thought that the prince knew about this and the most he could do was to scold her. She didn't do anything more to Ning Muqing, so how could she be punished so severely.

"Tingqin." Chu Lixuan's eyes were cold and stern, "Not everything in this world can be helped by admitting your mistakes."

The prince's aura was so powerful that she was so frightened that she froze in place.

Tingqin gritted his teeth, turned around and knelt in front of Ning Muqing, "Princess, everything is Tingqin's fault. Tingqin shouldn't have done this. Please be kind to Princess and let me go."

Ning Muqing was stunned.

I never thought Tingqin would admit her mistake so neatly. After exchanging glances with Xiangxiang, Ning Muqing raised her lips and said jokingly, "How many times have you committed such a crime like this?"

"I..." Tingqin was a little embarrassed to say it, especially when Chu Lixuan's cold gaze was staring at her head, but she could only admit, "The first time was in the princess's new house, the second time was in the dungeon, and the third time ……I……"

The next few times, Tingqin actually felt that he was not offended.

He just mocked Ning Muqing casually.

What does this count for?
  Even just now, Tingqin actually didn't feel that she had made any big mistake. She felt that the prince could only give her a few words of reprimand.

"Look! Even you yourself can't remember how many times it was."

"Seven times in total."

"After I woke up for the first time on my wedding night, were you the one who wanted to kill me?"

"……Yes!"

"The second time in the dungeon, while Chu Lixuan was unconscious, was he the one who asked people to whip me/torture me?"

"...Yes, it's me!"

"The third time Zhao Sijing came to trouble me, was it actually you who instigated it behind my back?"

"...Yes! Princess, it's all Tingqin's fault."

It was only at this moment that Tingqin suddenly realized that Ning Muqing actually knew everything that happened, but she just didn't say anything.

just now……

Ning Muqing waited until now, when the prince personally wanted to deal with her, before letting her admit everything she had done in front of the prince.

Tingqin took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "Yes, yes! Princess, I did everything."

Tingqin knew that she was going to be in trouble today. Ning Muqing's question was to make her fully admit her crime in front of the prince, and then drive her out of the palace. However, the revenge Ning Muqing imagined did not come, and she opened her eyes. After taking a careful look, he saw that Ning Muqing was neither angry nor happy, looking at her as if she were a completely irrelevant stone.

"Zhuge Liang spared Meng Fang seven times, and today I spare you for the last time. I hope you will behave yourself in the future."

Ning Muqing looked at Tingqin indifferently.

Running a medical clinic consumes a lot of time and energy, and she has no intention of competing with the people in the palace. Her world will never be limited to this small world.

So Ning Muqing didn't want to let Tingqin go because she had a heart attack.

But she won't care about anything with such people at all, their thinking is not on the same level at all.

Ning Muqing saw that Tingqin was different from Zhao Sijing who frequently sought death. After being beaten repeatedly, she still restrained herself.

What happened today, Tingqin must be fully aware of her current status in the palace.

So……

In fact, Ning Muqing's own goal was achieved.

She just wanted to see how Chu Lixuan handled this matter. Chu Lixuan was very satisfied with the outcome.

Ning Muqing said coldly, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

"Thank you... thank you, Princess."

Tingqin ran away from the bamboo forest courtyard as if running for his life.

Chu Lixuan ordered Chai Yan to pick up the jade pendant on the ground and said, "Send it to the listener and tell her that if she meets a man she likes, she can report it and I will definitely let her marry the man she wants."

After that, Chai Yan did as he was told.

Ning Muqing stood up and said, "If Your Majesty has no other instructions, should I go back to my room and sleep first?"

"What if the king has other instructions?"

Chu Lixuan looked at Ning Muqing coldly and said.
