Hands on his cuffs were slightly clasped, Wei Hanzhang hummed softly, and walked out quickly.

 His steps were steady, but his heart was already panicking.

She initially agreed to come to King Yan's Courtyard in order to let the prince intercede for the Jiang family in front of the prince and save the Jiang family.

At that time, it was also agreed that the work of "grinding ink and serving tea" would only be completed after the Jiang family's case was sentenced.

 But now, Wei Hanzhang was panicking. Looking at the attitude of Prince Xiao, he seemed to regard her as...

Once the Jiang family is safely out of danger, will he really allow her not to go there again as promised?

 After Wei Hanzhang left, only Xiao Junzhan and his servant were left in the house.

Ning Hai even breathed slowly and did not dare to wipe away the thin sweat on his forehead, feeling awe-inspiring in his heart.

Xiao Junzhan stood silently for a long time without saying a word. Suddenly he stretched out his hand to support the window sash, letting the cool breeze of early summer blow away the surging murderous desire in his heart.

“Let’s talk to Chang Le. Qi Yuxiao has violated the taboo of being an orphan. Only by marrying into the Gu family can she be freed from the blame for her crime and her status as princess can be restored.”

Ning Hai quickly bowed: "Yes!"

"Wait a minute..." Xiao Junzhan turned around and lowered his eyes with the killing intent that had not disappeared: "Tell Changle that the deadline is within one month. If it exceeds the deadline... the father will not be able to save her daughter."

Ning Hai wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and after whispering his promise, he retreated, thinking to himself, what is going on.

 He really couldn’t figure out what His Highness was worried about.

As the current prince, it is rare for him to meet a girl he likes and whose status is considered suitable. He can just issue a decree to recruit the person into the East Palace and make him a wife or concubine. Isn't it just a word from him?

Why do you have to go through such twists and turns, watching your sweetheart go to meet her 'fiancé', and let the Qi family be the villain to break up this 'marriage'.

Not to mention His Highness, even if he is an **** who has been castrated, he still feels like he is going to die.

Ning Hai thought for a while, maybe he was afraid that the Japanese guard girl would find out about the resentment...

  Or there is another deeper meaning.

 In short, no matter why His Highness did this, the purpose was to seize the girl Wei into the East Palace.

Thinking of this, Ning Hai suddenly realized that the decisions made by His Highness had never been wrong. He immediately stopped worrying about anything else and accepted the order to retreat.

 …

Wei Hanzhang just walked out of Tingfeng Pavilion and bumped into Grandma Sun who came to deliver a message.

Seeing that the young master who had been bored in the attic these days finally showed up, Grandma Sun said with a slight blessing: "Girl, would you like to invite Mr. Gu to come in?"

Wei Hanzhang's courtyard is not small, and he and Gu Yunran are discussing their marriage, so it would not be a problem to invite people in to sit in the courtyard.

 But she shook her head and said, "No need, I can just go out and see him."

She said to Grandma Sun, who was following her: "Go and do your own business, you don't have to follow me." Gu Yunran, who had not been seen for many days, stood in the long corridor paved with bluestone bricks, facing this side, and saw him from a distance. As Wei Hanzhang came out of the courtyard gate, his anxious heart slowly calmed down.

It wasn't until the man came closer and saw the red marks on the girl's face that he finally changed his expression and said coldly: "Who was hurt?"

 “I thought you came here for this, but you didn’t?”

Wei Hanzhang glanced at him intently, and seeing that his expression didn't look like he was being fake, he said angrily: "You've caused such bad peach blossoms, and you really don't know what happened yesterday?"

Gu Yunran was startled, anger flashed between his brows: "Did she hurt you?"

"Don't you know this? What kind of temperament is that Miss Qi's family? She has been to your house so many times, you should have some understanding." Wei Hanzhang mocked: "Yesterday you sent someone to tell me "Xin, I know how to avoid her and avoid this unnecessary disaster."

"Don't misunderstand me, Ran Ran, I don't know her at all." Gu Yunran's face was completely unsteady, and he stood up straight with his waist slightly bent, and carefully explained: "She came to the door on her own, and I never paid attention to her. , I didn’t know she would target you for this.”

"It's all my fault that Ran Ran was bullied because of me." Gu Yunran's eyes stayed on the girl's face, his voice deepened, and he reached out to hold her hand. Wei Hanzhang took two steps back. After realizing that she was overreacting, she pursed her lips and avoided his gaze uncomfortably.

 It’s not like I haven’t shaken hands before, this time...

Wei Hanzhang's fingertips lightly clasped, was it influenced by Xiao Boqian?

Gu Yunran didn't feel anything was wrong, he just thought she was jealous, fearing that she would not listen to the explanation and would make trouble with him again, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and blocked the person against a pillar in the corridor.

"I don't know when I was bumped into by Princess Chengyi. I was chased home for no reason. Ranran, believe me, I haven't looked at her once in the past few days." He kept explaining: "You are the only one in my heart. , I don’t dare to make you angry anymore because of the woman next to me, don’t misunderstand me.”

Wei Hanzhang looked at the eager young man in front of her. Her little bamboo horse was indeed well-born, with a handsome appearance, a tall figure, and a young man who showed off his horse in bright clothes. He was not inferior to those noble gentlemen in the capital. Qi Yuxiao fell in love with him at first sight, which was so normal.

He got closer and closer, and Wei Hanzhang couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his shoulder, "You move further away, it's inappropriate for others to see you."

Gu Yunran's anxious expression paused slightly, and he didn't understand why he had to explain a lot, but in exchange for her being so calm and self-possessed.

 It was as if she was not angry at all because other ladies were bothering him...

After looking at her carefully for a while, Gu Yunran's eyebrows gradually showed annoyance, and he said in a deep voice: "What's wrong? Both our families have acquiesced in our marriage. We are just waiting for my father to come back to propose marriage. Who would think that we are close?" Is this inappropriate?”

 “Is it okay if I feel it’s inappropriate?”

His tone was aggressive, which made Wei Hanzhang immediately angry: "You have two wives in front of you, and a princess falls in love with you in the back. Who knows whether our marriage can be successful? In the future, if you marry another noble girl, I will give you a good one." Marrying with fame."

“Marry? Who else do you want to marry besides me?”

Gu Yunran's chest rose and fell violently, imagining the girl in front of him marrying someone else, with a fierce look on his eyebrows, he raised his hand to hold her shoulders, and said angrily: "Wei Ranran, you can only be mine in this life."

"Gu Yunran!" Wei Hanzhang reflexively broke away his hand on his shoulder and shouted coldly: "Where do you think this is, and who are you threatening?"

 She knew that this little bamboo horse had a bad temper, but she never thought that he would learn to threaten her!

Gu Yunran's arms froze in mid-air, and then slowly lowered them. His gaze remained on her red face, and he moved his lips as if he was being touched: "Ran Ran, don't be angry with me. I'm feeling very uncomfortable these days. , I can't sleep well, I can't eat well, I think about you every day, I think about you..."

A trace of water appeared in his eyes, and then disappeared quickly, and he said aggrievedly: "Don't treat me like this. It was my fault for the marriage. I knew I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong."
