The vicious villain is in luck again

Thinking that Nian Qiu felt that it was not good for Lonicera to be too close to the prince as a palace maid, An Ran added, "I mean I'm not surprised, and there's nothing to think about these things."

She said kindly, "Nianqiu, don't worry."

Nianqiu is just an ordinary palace maid. It would be better if she is not blessed with the luck of honeysuckle and gets less involved in these things.

Nian Qiu left the main hall in a daze.

She really didn't understand the princess's intentions.

Is the princess confident that no one can take the third prince away from her, or is she tolerant of Lonicera, or both?

But no matter what, she had to take some measures.

Nianqiu clenched his fist, and since the princess's side couldn't do it, let's start from Lonicera's side.

As soon as Liao Dong came back from seeing off Gu Chenyu, he was pulled into the room by Nian Qiu.

Nian Qiu pulled her so hard that Lonicera couldn't break free. She pushed Lonicera onto the bed with a blazing look in her eyes, "Did you say anything to the third prince when you sent him off just now?"

Lonicera was startled and confused, "No, I just took him out and came back."

Nian Qiu asked again, "I saw you and the third prince standing at the gate of the palace for so long early in the morning. Why?"

Lonicera was tongue-tied by the momentary questioning, "Me, me, me."

This knot made her feel guilty, "He just asked me about my family's situation in my early years."

Nian Qiu became more and more suspicious. She pressed herself above Lonicera and asked, "Why does the Third Prince ask you?"

The sense of oppression was too strong, Lonicera stretched out his hand to push it away, "Why do you care so much, ah!"

Nianqiu grabbed her by the skirt and lifted her up.

Lonicera's back was hanging in the air, and his hands were waving in panic, "You, you, you, when did you become so strong?"

Nian Qiu tightened his grip on her clothes, but his hands felt a little numb. His original intention of pressing forward and questioning her changed.

Lonicera was just about to let her go, but when she let go, she fell back onto the bed.

She was dizzy from the fall, and when she was trying to get up, she saw Nian Qiu leaning down, his hands roughly and quickly tearing open the clothes on her chest.

Lonicera's pupils dilated and she screamed hysterically, "What are you going to do!"

After a while, she huddled on the bed, shivering under the quilt, half of her bun was messy, and her eyes were red, as if she had just been severely bullied.

"I didn't expect you to be such a woman."

Lonicera's voice trembled, as if she had been greatly insulted.

On the other side of the bed, Nian Qiu was dressed neatly and meticulously.

She sat quietly, turning a deaf ear to Lonicera's accusations, and replied calmly, "You brought it on yourself, you can't blame anyone else."

Lonicera was filled with grief and anger, and beat the bed angrily, "You give me back..."

Nian Qiu glanced over and saw that she was hopeless and timid again.

Weakly retracted her hands back to the quilt, and whispered, "You've seen enough, can you give it back to me?"

Nianqiu spread her palms, and the whistle bounced in her hand. Suddenly it was thrown into the air, fell back, and was thrown up again. It went up and down several times, which made Lonicera's heart skip a beat.

She said quietly, "So you are the Ning Guo Xizuo mentioned in the letter."

"No wonder I never see you in the middle of the night."

Lonicera suddenly became energetic, "What did you say?"

Nianqiu closed his fingers and held the whistle in his hand, "I've made it clear so straightforwardly, but you still don't know my identity?"

Lonicera shook his head honestly, "I don't know."

Nianqiu was more surprised than expected, so she read Lonicera from beginning to end.

"Didn't you receive the recent letter?"

Lonicera was too embarrassed to talk about losing her whistle, so she laughed, "I've been worrying about the princess these days, so I didn't have time to see it."

Nianqiu threw the whistle to her, "Then I'll wait until you read it."

Ling Dong hurriedly caught the whistle, raised his head, and saw Nian Qiu's face right in front of him.

She asked suspiciously, "You really have nothing to do with the Third Prince?"

Honeysuckle just wants to look at the sky and sigh.

Oh my god, what did she do to make Nian Qiu misunderstand and keep talking about her and Gu Chenyu?

She put her fingers together and said, "I swear to God, it really doesn't happen."

Nian Qiu reluctantly believed that he could let Lonicera go, "That's good."

She stepped back and sat cross-legged, "I originally didn't want to say anything, but since we bumped into her today, I'll say a few more words."

Nianqiu warned Lonicera, "You should stay away from the third prince in the future."

Lonicera wondered, "Why?"

Nian Qiu said, "The princess likes the third prince."

"What!?" Lonicera yelled, not even wrapping himself in the quilt.

This was something she had never thought about. How could Luo Anran like Gu Chenyu?

"The princess's handkerchief was embroidered by the princess for the third prince a while ago." Nianqiu said, "According to my observation, the piece embroidered by the princess is the third prince's personal belongings."

Lonicera's heart was in turmoil, but she still refused to give up, "How do you know?"

Nian Qiu had already expected that she would not believe it, so he calmly said without even frowning, "The name of the third prince is embroidered in the lower left corner of the princess's veil."

"When I handed the repaired veil to the princess, she also admitted it."

Lonicera took a deep breath, covered her mouth with both hands, and screamed silently.

Shocked, had she been wrong all along?

Did she marry the wrong guy?

Help!

She asked Nianqiu blankly, "So the princess and the third prince are now——"

Nian Qiu replied, "I am interested in my husband."

"So the reason why the princess used to avoid the third prince was——"

"Avoid suspicion and hide people's eyes and ears."

"So the princess went to the Queen's Palace-"

"In the past, the princess and the queen were at odds with each other, so of course she had to pass the queen's test."

"So the Queen sent people to guard us because-"

"I'm afraid that we slaves will talk nonsense."

"So the reason why the princess was so worried the past few days was——"

"Maybe the queen hasn't agreed yet and is worried about the matter with the third prince."

Nian Qiu said, "Didn't you notice that the princess got better after seeing the third prince today? It's just like the rainbow that appears after the rain and the sky clears, it's so brilliant."

"The third prince must have given the princess some reassurance."

She asked back, "Isn't this more reasonable than the relationship you thought about between the princess and the young master after reading too many stories?"

Lonicera has nothing to say.

Damn it, she is just being sentimental.

That's right, how could a high-ranking prince fall in love with a palace maid? So Gu Chenyu must have approached her for the sake of Luo Anran.

Thinking about it, she even offered to embroider a handkerchief for him, which almost made a big mistake.

She thought happily that she didn't have any evil intentions towards Gu Chenyu, and she would definitely read less scripts in the future.

Thinking like this, Liandong took the initiative to approach Nianqiu and said, "It's reasonable, it's too reasonable."

"I was arbitrary before." She held Nianqiu's hand with admiration, "Nianqiu, if I want to be more careful than you, I can't compare."

Late at night, Lonicera and Nianqiu sat opposite each other.

Nian Qiu looked at Lonicera without blinking. His body was also tense, and he asked funnyly, "Why are you looking at me?"

She tilted her head toward the window and said, "Go get the letter quickly."

Lonicera swallowed, walked to the window and blew the whistle.

The little black bird came out of the sky, and indeed it had a small bamboo tube tied to its thin legs.

She poured out a small piece of paper and read the ten lines at a glance, "Hidden stakes, what hidden stakes?"

After mumbling this, Lonicera suddenly reacted and pinched the small piece of paper tightly, "Is it you who is the hidden target?"

Nian Qiu smiled, "Don't I look like him?"

"No." Lonicera circled around her, "Then why didn't you notice my identity when I put on that hairpin?"

"What hairpin?" Nian Qiu turned around and looked at her.

Liandong pulled out the wooden hairpin from the jewelry box and held it under Nianqiu's eyes, "This, the ice-heavy flower lotus pattern on it is unique to Ningguo."

"You looked at it every day at that time, didn't you feel something was wrong?"

Nian Qiu took it, a strange color appeared on his face, which seemed to be somewhat unexpected.

She looked at it carefully under the candlelight for a while, and then said: "First, although I am from the Ning Kingdom, I have been living in the Ying Kingdom as long as I can remember. I have no knowledge of the affairs in the Ning Kingdom. I am just lurking as a hidden danger.

"

"Second." She returned the hairpin to Lonicera, "I thought this was given to you by the third prince."

She hesitated and then said: "No, he gave you medicine..."

"He only gave me medicine, and the hairpin is my own." Lonicera was speechless, "You must be thinking too much."

Nianqiu remained silent.

Liao Dong muttered a word or two and then put the matter behind her. She clapped her hands happily and said, "Hey, if you are also from the Ning Kingdom, I can go to the Eighth Prince openly."

She entered the side hall humming a song in a good mood.

When Baichuan heard her singing, a smile appeared on his face, "Why are you so happy today?"

Lonicera ran up to him, held her face in her hands cutely and cleverly, winked, and smiled.

Baichuan's face suddenly turned red.

After teasing him, Liandong jumped up and down and ran to Ji Qinghan, "Eighth Prince, I have made it clear that the princess's sweetheart is not you."

"I apologize for telling you that the princess likes you."

"Sorry, I thought too much before,"

She twisted her body, immersed in her own thoughts, and did not notice Ji Qinghan's face suddenly darkened.

"But that's fine. In terms of status and character, the princess is really not suitable for you."

"You can have one less fetter and focus on returning to your country without any worries."

"Just in time, I received a letter from my father. He has activated a hidden stake that has been lurking in Ying Kingdom for many years." She babbled, "In addition, there are also new people who have successfully sneaked into the palace, but I don't know about it yet."

"In that case, who do you think is suitable?"

Lonicera was interrupted all of a sudden and did not recover.

She looked at Ji Qinghan blankly, "Ah?"

Ji Qinghan looked at her quietly, with clear eyes.

But Lonicera didn't know what was going on, and saw something dark in those clear eyes.

Her intuition was strange, but from the outside, he seemed normal and calm, as if he was just asking casually.

Because she had just dispelled the illusion that An Ran liked him, she said quickly, "Gu Chenyu."

Ji Qinghan moved his hand hanging by his side, while Baichuan, who was shouting in his heart that he was going to interrupt Lonicera, immediately stood on the spot, unable to even open his mouth.

He looked at Lonicera anxiously, his eyes almost twitching, but she didn't notice it at all, and nodded quite contentedly, "They both have each other in their hearts, and their identities are similar. I think they are very good."

When Ji Qinghan heard the first half of the sentence, his pretended indifferent face finally lost its calmness.

"It doesn't look good to me!"

His tone was a little more aggressive, like a huge boulder rolling down a high mountain. The feeling of rampage was different from usual, which made Lonicera look at him more.

She didn't know it by looking at it, but she was shocked when she saw it.

Ji Qinghan's expression can no longer be described as gnashing of teeth. He is more like a furious lion who is trying hard to hold back but still can't help but be furious.

"Eighth Prince?" She subconsciously lowered her voice.

"Get out." His tone was cold again.

No matter how slow and bold Lonicera was, she knew that she shouldn't get into trouble at this time, so she quickly closed her mouth and retreated numbly.

In the room, Baichuan could not move, only his eyes were spinning.

After he saw Lonicera go out safely, his heart dropped back.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, there was darkness in front of him.

Ji Qinghan stood in front of him, his face so serious that it was dripping with tears, looking like a beast about to open its bloody mouth to its prey.

Baichuan's heart lifted again.

Ji Qinghan took back a silver needle.

Baichuan couldn't move yet, but he relaxed and said, "Master, master."

However, his master ignored him and stood there without knowing what he was looking at, with a hint of resentment between his brows and eyes.
