Chapter 571 Provocation
Mo Lingwei rushed back to Zichen Palace, but Shen Ningning was nowhere to be seen.
Qingyuan happened to return from the outside and saw Mo Lingwei coming back. She stepped forward to apologize with a gloomy face.
"Your Highness, please punish me. This servant failed to protect the princess. The emperor just sent Commander Lu here. The princess is not allowed to stay in Zichen Palace, for fear of ruining your highness's good things."
Qingyuan is smart and can explain things clearly in a few words.
Mo Lingwei's eyes became darker and darker: "Where did my father go wrong to come up with such a crooked idea?"
He also wondered why Meng Wan Ning was allowed to enter the palace. It turned out to be his father's support.
He invited Shen Ningning in. Now after hearing such words, Mo Lingwei could imagine how embarrassed she was.
"Where did the princess go?" he asked Qingyuan.
"Princess asked the slave to pack her luggage, take some paper and pen, and go to the Sun Tower."
As soon as Qing Yuan finished speaking, Mo Lingwei stepped forward and hurried over.
He couldn't let any misunderstanding exist between him and Shen Ningning.
However, at this time, before he arrived, the emperor had already sent someone to inform Meng Wan Ning and asked her to go directly to Zhaori Pagoda to apologize to Shen Ningning.
In front of the bright hall full of gods and Buddhas, Shen Ning sat quietly on a futon, with half-copied Buddhist scriptures placed on the table in front of her.
Meng Wan Ning, on the other hand, knelt down in front of her as if she was repenting.
Meng Wan Ning had been here for a while, and as soon as she came in, her eyes turned red in front of Shen Ning Ning, telling her she was guilty of ignorance.
"If I knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess had made an appointment to have dinner with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would not have kept Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince with me. Princess, I would never dare to compete with you. Please forgive me."
What Meng Wanning said just now made Shen Ningning's pale complexion reveal a hint of complexity.
Mo Lingwei said he would come back for dinner, but he went to see Meng Wan Ning temporarily.
Shen Ningning knew that Mo Lingwei didn't really like Meng Wan Ning, and there might be some other reasons for it, but just thinking about it made her feel a strong sense of helplessness in her heart.
The girl couldn't help but think about what the emperor said that day in the bamboo garden -
Prince Mo Lingwei is the future monarch of Cangyun Kingdom, how could he not marry other concubines for her sake.
Shen Ningning couldn't help but feel that the way Meng Wanning was crying in front of her at this moment made her think that she was already in the harem and became one of Mo Lingwei's many concubines.
Such thoughts made her feel suffocated.
She repeatedly asked herself, if one day her husband was going to have dinner with another woman and broke their previous agreement, could she really accept this?
Maybe the emperor was right. She liked Mo Lingwei, but she didn't want to have to accept that her husband had other concubines.
Meng Wan Ning was still crying in front of her, and Shen Ning Ning spoke coldly, with the light sternness of a superior.
"It is very unlucky to cry in front of gods and Buddhas. If you want to cry, go outside."
Meng Wan Ning's crying stopped abruptly.
She silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Your Highness, please forgive me. If you don't like it, I will never dare to have contact with His Highness the Crown Prince again."
"Your affairs have nothing to do with me." Shen Ningning said and calmly began to pack away her pen and paper.
Just as Mo Lingwei had arrived, Meng Wanning's eyes flashed with a chill. She quickly stood up and said first:
"Your Highness, Wan Ning has admitted her fault to the princess just now. Wan Ning only entered the palace to present the prescription, not to compete for favor. I hope Your Highness the princess will not misunderstand."
Her words avoided the point. Although they were true, they made Shen Ningning feel even more distant.
Mo Lingwei almost ran over, and when he arrived in front of Shen Ningning, he was still panting.
He ignored Meng Wan Ning and quickly explained to the girl: "I suddenly received an urgent report from the border at night. I had to deal with it first. She entered the palace later..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Ningning raised her eyes and interrupted him: "Brother, there is no need to explain, these have nothing to do with me."
Meng Wanning secretly paid attention to Shen Ningning's expression.
She was judging whether the princess was angry or not? She was looking forward to it, hoping that the princess and the prince would argue again this time.
Because once the relationship between the two becomes worse and worse and they push each other away, it will be difficult to reconcile and it will be difficult to reconcile.
Mo Lingwei wanted to comfort Shen Ningning, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak.
But looking down, he saw that she had packed up the copied scriptures and was placing her hands on the bundle.
"You come back to Zichen Palace with me. No matter what my father said, you don't have to pay attention. I have the final say in this palace now."
Shen Ningning shook her head and stood up with the baggage.
"I have finished copying the scriptures, and my brother also said that in fact, the emperor's uncle's illness can not be cured by praying, but by resting. I can't do anything about this. The matter has come to this, I have done everything I should do, and I still can't do it. Please brother arrange a carriage to take me home now."
Unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist: "You can't leave. You promised me to give me half a month. How many days have it been?"
His handsome black eyebrows furrowed, and his thin eyes rolled with waves.
Meng Wanning stared at Mo Lingwei's hand holding Shen Ningning tightly, her eyes filled with jealousy.
Shen Ningning struggled to break free and staggered back two steps.
She tried to explain calmly: "Brother, nothing can be changed in these half months. In fact, you and I both know in our hearts. If you think that I will not get engaged to Lu Shaoyuan after being together for half a month, then you have misunderstood."
Mo Lingwei was shocked.
Shen Ningning in front of him seemed the same as the girl who took the boat with him yesterday, but also seemed different.
The same thing was that her voice, appearance and smile were the same as usual.
The difference was that the warmth in her eyes yesterday made Mo Lingwei confirm that her indifference was all disguised, and in fact, she also had a place for him in her heart.
But at this moment, Shen Ningning put on that distant and cold look again, rejecting him thousands of miles away.
Mo Lingwei pointed at Meng Wanning suddenly: "You misunderstood me because of her, right? If I get rid of her, can you reconsider?"
Meng Wanning was so scared that her face turned pale, and she knelt down to Shen Ningning in a hurry.
"Your Highness, save me, wuwu, I didn't do anything, I just came in to offer the prescription, and I never wanted to compete with you for the prince..."
"Shut up!" Mo Lingwei was filled with emotions at this time. He felt that Meng Wanning's words sounded like an explanation, but in fact, it would cause more misunderstandings.
Shen Ningning said coldly: "It has nothing to do with her. It was my brother who misunderstood from the beginning. Maybe I shouldn't have entered the palace and given my brother the wrong impression, so this absurdity should stop."
Mo Lingwei's thin eyes gradually turned cold, and his throat rolled up and down.
"How can you give up so easily, Shen Ningning, don't force me to do anything to Lu Shaoyuan, for you, I can do anything."
Shen Ningning looked at him and said with some disappointment: "Brother, don't force me, otherwise you know, I want to hide and not let you find it, you really can't find it."
Mo Lingwei was shocked.
He knew that Shen Ningning was not bragging. There was a fairyland on her body. He had seen her go in with his own eyes and disappeared for a long time before coming out.
I heard that there was food and drink in the fairyland, so she could stay here for a lifetime.
When Mo Lingwei was stunned, Shen Ningning picked up her bag and left beside him.
If he didn't arrange a carriage for her, she would rely on herself and walk out of the palace.
Mo Lingwei's back was lonely and stunned. He didn't catch up and couldn't come back to his senses.
"Your Highness... Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Meng Wanning looked at his expression, which seemed to be spreading from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't help but test it: "You... You don't want to chase? Her Highness the Princess has already left."
"Get lost." Mo Lingwei lowered his head slightly, and a sad voice came out from his thin lips.
Meng Wanning didn't hear clearly, and took a half step forward: "What?"
"Get lost! I told you to get out of the palace and get out of the capital immediately! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences." Mo Lingwei suddenly became angry, and frightened Meng Wanning so much that she fell to the ground.
Then, Mo Lingwei grabbed the scriptures copied by Shen Ningning on the table, and walked out quickly with a dark face.
