Chapter 426 Eavesdropping Behind the Rockery, Discovered

The three of them rushed over and said in unison:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Mo Lingwei raised his deep eyes.

Xie Mingxu immediately stepped forward and bowed: "I was just looking for an opportunity to present the border patrol map to Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes, her little hands still around Mo Lingwei's waist.

The little girl didn't understand why her brother suddenly started talking about business?

Mo Lingwei also narrowed his eyes and said, "There is no rush for this matter. Although my father has given me the responsibility, there is still one month left before the time I gave you. You can prepare well."

Xu Jingxi, who was standing aside, stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, there is one more thing. Last time, you allowed me to hold a poetry meeting and invite literati to enrich the literature and history of Cangyun Country."

"I have already chosen the time and place, as well as the specific content of the poetry meeting. You might as well tell your Highness about it now. If your Highness feels it is inappropriate, I can make changes early."

While he was speaking, Xie Mingan behind him calmly pressed Shen Ningning's shoulders, and with a slight effort, he pulled the little girl off Mo Lingwei.

"Huh?" Shen Ningning blinked her round black eyes.

Looking back, it turned out to be Xie Mingan.

"Stinky second brother, what are you doing again? I'm listening to my brother talking to my elder brother and the third brother."

Shen Ningning put her hands on her waist, her playful and lively face was snorting, and the tassels on her forehead shone with a gorgeous luster.

Xie Mingan grabbed her wrist, and his handsome face was dark.

"Let's go, second brother has something to tell you. Let's go over there and let the eldest brother and the others talk to the prince about business first."

As he said that, Shen Ningning was dragged away by Xie Mingan.

Mo Lingwei's deep eyes followed the figure of the little girl, and then his eyes were retracted and fell on Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi in front of him.

He was deep in his mind and even more sharp and intelligent.

How could he not see that the three brothers cooperated with each other just to take Shen Ningning away.

"Tsk." Mo Lingwei couldn't help but snorted.

Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi lowered their heads and pursed their thin lips at the same time, seeming a little nervous.

Fortunately, Mo Lingwei did not intend to argue with them.

"Aren't you going to discuss business with me? There is a pavilion over there, let's sit down and talk."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the pavilion.

"Yes." Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi looked at each other, and both noticed doubts in each other's eyes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not angry?

On the other side, Xie Mingan had dragged Shen Ningning to the back of Zhennian Hall, in a quiet bamboo forest.

Shen Ningning could not walk anymore, and shook off his hand breathlessly.

"Stinky second brother! We are so far away from the banquet, where else do you want to go?"

If they walked further, they would leave the scope of Zhennian Hall.

Shen Ningning grumbled in dissatisfaction and glanced at Xie Mingan twice.

Her skin was white and tender, and Xie Mingan held her for so long that she pinched her red.

Xie Mingan wanted to keep a straight face and teach his sister about the great defense between men and women.

But when he saw her snow-white wrist was red, he regretted his strength.

Xie Mingan turned around and carefully held her wrist, his brows were still frowning, but his tone softened.

"Does it hurt? I will be more careful next time, but you didn't do well this time. How could you throw yourself into the arms of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in public?"

Shen Ningning pouted, and the gemstone collar around her neck shone with a gorgeous brilliance.

"I have been getting along with my brother like this since I was a child, and I never saw my brother say no."

"Nonsense! He is a man." Xie Mingan looked at him coldly.

Shen Ningning was scolded, and she felt more wronged and angry, and retracted her little hand.

Xie Mingan reacted and said silently: "I'm sorry, I won't be mean next time."

"Next time, next time, you always say next time, my brother and third brother are much better than you! They never scold me." Shen Ningning glared at him and turned away.

The bamboo forest is dense and built in a simple and quaint style. There is a winding river carved by people in the forest. The clear water flows through, adding a bit of tranquility to the bamboo forest.

Xie Mingan chased after Shen Ningning. The brother and sister argued all the way. She said hers and he coaxed his.

When passing a rockery, Xie Mingan suddenly pulled Shen Ningning to stop and hid behind the rockery.

"Why..." Before she finished her words, her second brother covered her mouth.

"Hush." ​​Xie Mingan lowered his voice, protected his sister in his arms, and hid in the gap of the rockery.

He pointed to the opposite side.

Shen Ningning looked through the hole in the rockery.

She saw a concubine coming over.

Shen Ningning frowned and felt that this person was very familiar.

Until Xie Mingan lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "It's Concubine Qi."

Shen Ningning opened her beautiful eyes in surprise.

No wonder she couldn't recognize it!

After being struck by lightning, Concubine Qi lost her hair. Five years later, it only grew to the shoulder level.

Her facial features also seemed to have changed a bit. The scars from the lightning were right at the root of her nose.

For the sake of beauty and to avoid being disliked by the emperor, Concubine Qi made many golden masks to cover the twisted scars between her nose.

But this made her less gentle and more sinister.

Her temperament was completely different.

In the past five years, she rarely showed up. Even if she accidentally met Shen Ningning in the palace, Concubine Qi lowered her head and left immediately.

After being honest for several years, the little girl almost forgot about this person.

However, she didn't understand why he had to hide when he just saw Concubine Qi?

Shen Ningning soon understood.

Concubine Qi looked around with a vigilant look.

After a while, she blew a whistle behind her.

Who was Concubine Qi calling?

Shen Ningning held her breath and looked over, and saw a tall man gradually walking on the path leading to the bamboo forest.

The other party was wearing a three-clawed python robe of the prince level, which was dark blue in color, making him look taller and his eyes were as sharp as torches.

Xie Mingan frowned and whispered, "It's the King of Shu."

The King of Shu! Mo Lingwei's uncle.

How could he secretly meet with Concubine Qi in the bamboo forest?

"Jingchun." Over there, the King of Shu called out her name with a loving look in his eyes.

Concubine Qi turned her head and actually threw herself into his arms.

Shen Ningning's pupils shook.

"Hongguang, I miss you so much." Concubine Qi leaned on his arms and choked.

But the King of Shu pulled her out of his arms, but did not let go of her hand. He just said with some emotion: "We haven't seen each other for almost ten years, right? I heard that you are not doing well. I wanted to visit you in Beijing earlier, but Yuehe was not in good health, so I have been delayed until now."

Concubine Qi lowered her hands dejectedly: "I am presumptuous. Why did you come to Beijing to see me? Taking care of the princess is important, and I am not important."

"Don't talk nonsense. Hey, now that I am back, I find that the capital is unfamiliar everywhere, only you make me feel kind."

The two began to reminisce about the past. Xie Mingan's first reaction was that something was wrong. He took Shen Ningning's little hand and motioned them to leave first.

However, when Xie Mingan moved, he stepped on the soil soaked by the stream, making a light "pop" sound.

"Who is there!" The King of Shu shouted.

Concubine Qi quickly jumped away, quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes, and her eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

"Go and see, and you'll know." Concubine Qi lowered her voice.

The King of Shu walked towards the rockery.
