C179 (2/2)

When Xiao Qingran first heard this news, she only raised her eyebrows slightly before calmly saying: ”Then congratulations to the princess.”

Before Zhao Ling'er came over, she had thought of countless possibilities, but she didn't expect that she would have such an 'irrelevant' reaction. She frowned and asked, ”Aren't you angry?”

Xiao Qinggran felt that the question was rather laughable: ”Why should I be angry?”

Zhao Ling'er laughed coldly. ”Don't think that I, the princess, don't know that you also like the Duke of Han, right? ”Otherwise, Duke Han wouldn't have been in your room last time …”

She paused for a moment. These words caused her to recall the scene from that day. With an unsightly expression, she changed the topic. ”But don't think about it anymore. That man is already mine!”

”He's yours?” Xiao Qingran was twirling a piece of dessert in her hand. She smirked: ”Did he say that himself?”

Zhao Ling'er's eyes flickered. ”That's right. He said it himself. He has already agreed to marry this princess.”

”Heh ~ Your Highness, lying isn't a good habit.” Xiao Qing Ran stuffed the piece of dessert into her mouth and then patted off the remnants of the dim sum in her hand before sitting up from the hammock. ”If he really agreed to your provocation, you shouldn't have come in front of me right now. If that man had let loose, I'm afraid you would have already sent people to arrest me.”

After all, in this woman's heart, she was relying on Su Qianhan, that great mountain.

”You mean I lied to you? Do you think that I will impersonate your Great Summoning Emperor's decree?! ”

”I didn't say that. Perhaps His Majesty agreed, but it wasn't that easy to get that man to loosen up.” Xiao Qingran used one hand to prop up his chin as he looked at her, ”Although I'm not very clear about the situation in the Residence of Duke Han these past few days, it seems like your days have not been so easy. The Fourth Prince has probably been feeling very bitter recently, right?”

Zhao Jin never thought that things would be so difficult in the beginning. Although he knew Su Qianhan's personality, he didn't expect that this man would be more stubborn than he had imagined. He didn't even listen to what the Emperor had to say, but the conclusion was already set, yet he was stuck in the middle.

Zhao Ling'er's finger trembled. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the person in front of her with a strange expression.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Xiao Qing Ran seemed to have known about this from the very beginning. It wasn't the kind of feeling where information was fluent, but rather the feeling of foresight.

This feeling made her feel somewhat afraid.

Actually, it was true that Xiao Qing had indeed participated in this matter. Su Qianxing and the others were in the dark while he was in the light, so if they really wanted to bite him, they would definitely suffer. Didn't that man want to use this opportunity to create a gap between them?

She only used a small trick to get people to pass on a message to Lan Ying. 'If this princess of the Jin Kingdom can't get Su Qianhan to leave me, then there won't be anything that can stop them from being together in the future' made Lan Ying panic.

Lan Ying was the one who trusted the rumours about the 'Heavenly Maiden' the most. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to kill so many people because of it. Although she was now crippled, she was still able to hope that Su Qianxing was still alright.

As for how to pass the news to Su He and get him to agree to the marriage unconsciously, that was not Xiao Qing Ran's concern. Lan Ying had been in the palace for many years, but she still had some connections in the palace.

”Alright, it seems like Princess has finished her words. If you have nothing else to say, you can leave now.” Xiao Qing Ran crossed her hands on her knees as she raised her eyebrows and smiled: ”However, please give the princess a reminder, the princess can also say this for the fourth prince. It is naturally good to be able to have what you want in this life, no matter what name is required of everyone, but no matter what reason, you can place the bet, just don't forget to protect yourself in the end.”

Zhao Ling'er's body stiffened and she tightened her grip. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and left without a word.

As Xiao Qing watched her leave, the smile in her eyes dimmed little by little as a cold light gradually rose in her eyes. She reached out to hand the items on the table to the person behind her: ”Li'er, go give these items to Han Bing.

”Yes.”

Xiao Qingran's words were heard safely. Just as she had guessed, Zhao Jin had been really worried recently. After hearing what Zhao Ling'er said, she immediately went to find Su Qianxing.

When Su Qianxing heard that the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom had come to pay a visit, he was first shocked before he was shocked. He knew that Xiao Qing and her group had begun to make their move.

”I should have said this before. In order not to arouse suspicion, it's best if you don't come to my manor.” When Su Qian Xing arrived at the main hall, Zhao Jin was drinking tea.

Seeing the person who entered, he put down his teacup while gasping for breath. He was a little agitated, ”You're still talking to me like this even now? You should know what this prince's father means now. What are you planning to do next? When I came out that day, I promised royal father that we would do it. Now that I am riding on a tiger, don't tell me you want me to lose my trust in royal father? ”
