The evil woman wears the clothes quickly: the abstinent male protagonist loses control and falls

Chapter 279: The Little Daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion VS His Royal Highness the Noble Crown Prince (68)

Ning Chen waved.

"Okay, you go back."

Since his questions didn't lead to any useful answers, Ning Chen was too lazy to deal with Zhou Liangdi.

Zhou Liangdi's eyes were filled with hurt, but she couldn't show it, so she bowed and left.

Unexpectedly, Ning Chen spoke casually while reviewing the memorials.

"Zhou Liangdi's cooking skills are pretty good today. All the dishes she made are my favorites. Please leave."

Zhou Liangdi's steps were unsteady, her face was dull, the back of her clothes was soaked with cold sweat, and she didn't even know how she walked out of the study.

The Crown Prince's last sentence meant that he had begun to suspect her.

The maid Ruochun beside her looked worried.

"Liang Di, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, what happened?"

After a while, Zhou Liangdi quickly recovered, wiped away her tears, and determination and resentment flashed in her eyes.

"Nothing, let's go back."

In the study, Liu Dequan was not surprised by His Highness's reaction just now. Last time, he just said a word to help Concubine Yu, who was still a good concubine, but His Highness suspected him and he almost lost his life.

It was completely within his expectations that His Highness would be so suspicious of Zhou Liangdi.

However, when he saw Zhou Liangdi leaving in a daze, he could only sigh.

"Liu Dequan, have you spread the news that Gu is sick? Why is it that Zhou Liangdi is here but Yu'er is not?"

Ning Chen's questioning left Liu Dequan no time to lament about Zhou Liangdi's affairs.

Suddenly he was the one sweating profusely.

In a cautious tone, he said, "To answer your question, Your Highness, I did spread the news, and even let the chatterbox who loves to watch the fun beside Concubine Yu know about it. That maid must have been unable to resist and told Concubine Yu..."

As Ning Chen's face became increasingly gloomy, Liu Dequan decisively shut up.

"How about I go and spread the news? Maybe the maid didn't hear it. Otherwise, Concubine Yu cares about Your Highness so much that she is willing to risk her life for Your Highness. She will definitely come when she hears that Your Highness is sick."

These words made Ning Chen look better.

Liu Dequan breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and was about to ask someone to continue spreading the news, and he decided that this time he would have the servant who spread the news stand right in front of the maid's ear and speak.

Ning Chen cleared his throat and said with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"No need, you are right. Why should I, a grown man, bother with a young woman like her? Besides, it was wrong for me to doubt her. I am not thinking about Ning Liangyuan, I just asked a few questions because I am worried that she might be used by the Crown Princess."

Liu De was confused.

What do these sentences mean?

How could he not figure it out?

Then I heard Ning Chen continue to say,

"Go and invite her over. You know what to say."

It seemed like he felt a little embarrassed to bow his head like that.

Ning Chen's eyes dodged slightly.

His tone rose unconsciously due to anger and embarrassment.

"What are you looking at? Can't you hear what I say? You, a slave, are becoming less and less efficient in your work."

Liu Dequan was so scared that his shoulders shrank and he quickly ran out holding his hat.

His face was still confused, but his legs and feet were very nimble.

Zhou Liangdi, who had not walked far yet, saw Liu Dequan running out and her eyes lit up.

"Butler Liu? His Highness asked you to come out..." She looked expectant.

Could it be that His Highness asked Butler Liu to say something to her?
Liu Dequan was even more embarrassed, as he could tell at a glance what Zhou Liangdi was thinking.

"Your Highness asked me to go and invite Concubine Yu. It's cold outside, so Concubine Liangdi should go back quickly."

Liu Dequan actually wanted Zhou Liangdi to give up when she saw the difficulty. Life is so difficult for women in the harem or in the inner chambers. If she could understand this truth, she would be able to protect herself.

Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not show much favor to these women, he will not allow those below him to go too far.

So it is still possible to pray for a safe, healthy and smooth life.

Zhou Liangdi obviously didn't understand what Liu Dequan said, or maybe she understood it but didn't want to pay attention. Although she was smiling, it didn't show in her eyes.

"That's good, then I'm relieved. I was worried that His Highness and Sister Yu would really have a conflict, and it would be difficult for me to get involved."

"General Manager Liu, please go to Yunqing Palace first, don't keep His Highness waiting for too long."

Liu Dequan said yes and left quickly.

After Liu Dequan left, Zhou Liangdi seemed to have lost her soul.

Ruochun was very worried.

"Master, don't be sad. His Highness will see you. You have persisted for so many years. This little while is not a big deal. When the time comes, His Highness will find that you are the one who is most sincere to him!"

Zhou Liangdi wanted to move her stiff mouth corners to smile, but tears came out before her mouth corners.

"Before, Ning Liangyuan suppressed me. Although His Highness didn't say anything, I can see that even though Ning Liangyuan was making a fuss, His Highness saw it. I thought that after Ning Liangyuan died, I would finally have a chance to let His Highness see me, but I didn't expect that Tang Yu would appear again."

"Your Highness has never liked Ning Liangyuan, but now Your Highness really likes Tang Yu."

"Ruochun, do you know? He has always been proud, how could he bow his head? He never bowed his head even to His Majesty and the Queen. But now, look, he actually bowed his head to Tang Yu. I thought he would hate and fear Tang Yu because of Ning Liangyuan's death."

"But what happened? He went to coax her again! He wasn't even angry when he was kicked out of the palace overnight. Doesn't he always hate people who are scheming and malicious? Otherwise, why did I tolerate Ning Liangyuan for so many years!!"

Zhou Liangdi's voice was sad.

Ruochun didn't know how to comfort her.

Her master met the prince in a Buddhist temple that year and fell in love with him at first sight. She was moved for many years and became his concubine, the forbearing Ning Liangyuan.

The master likes His Highness, so naturally she has seen it since she was a child.

But now...

She also had to admit that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed indulgent towards Concubine Yu, and His Royal Highness would always give in whenever she threw a tantrum.

"Forget it, let's go back. I can't cry my eyes out to let His Highness look at me in disbelief, right?"

……

Yunqing Palace.

Xiaoyuan ran very fast with a smile on her face.

"Master, Master, I saw Manager Liu walking quickly towards us from a distance. I guess His Highness asked him to come. As expected, His Highness did not let Zhou Liangdi stay. Hehe! He let her show her courtesy and took advantage of the situation. She deserves it!"

Tang Yu shook his head and laughed.

Soon, Liu Dequan arrived at Yunqing Palace. He wiped the sweat from his head, and his round face became even rounder as he smiled, and his facial features seemed to be squeezed together.

"Your servant greets the concubine, and hopes that the queen is well."

Tang Yu replied calmly, "No need to be polite, Chief Steward Liu. I wonder if Chief Steward Liu has something important to do here? Is it about the Wanshou Festival or the palace banquet? But these matters should be asked to the Crown Princess or Concubine Wan, right?"

Liu Dequan began to sweat again.

This concubine Yu was obviously angry.

He was worried that if he failed to invite Concubine Yu, the Crown Prince would be so angry that he would skin him alive.

"Oh, what are you talking about, Your Highness has been thinking about you since yesterday. You couldn't sleep all night and even fell ill. You kept saying your name in your dreams!"

Liu Dequan continued to talk nonsense.
