Prince Li looked at her calmly and frowned, "No."
"Yes, I know you. Although you are honest, you would not say such vulgar words in front of so many people. But you deliberately mentioned something about Master Liang having diarrhea. Master Liang is a self-righteous and elegant person. He would never argue with you about such shit and fart, and he didn't want you to continue to focus on this topic, so he chose to shut up. He didn't argue with you at the beginning, but later he lost the initiative. You said you saw what happened on the other side of the river, but in fact you didn't see it, and you were not in the toilet. You were just guarding against Master Liang, so you followed secretly. You saw that Master Liang squatted facing the rockery, so you guessed that Master Liang saw it, right? Because later you didn't say what you saw, but just threatened the prince and Ximen Xiaoyue. You said you saw it, and Ximen Xiaoqing's legs went weak on the spot."
Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at Prince Li while speaking, and she added: "Perhaps Taifu Liang may not have actually seen it, but you said with certainty that you saw it from behind him. If he said he didn't see it, people would suspect that he was on Ximen Xiaoqing's side, and he didn't dare to argue, fearing that you would say something vulgar to hurt his face. So, Taifu Liang is actually innocent tonight."
Prince Li frowned and said, "My aunt has a very rich imagination, but it's not as you said."
"Also, you deliberately messed with the Liang family to cover up for Zi'an so that he could talk to that boy. Everything is enough to prove that you were really helping Zi'an tonight."
Prince Li looked at her expressionlessly, "No."
"Tell me, who asked you to help Zi'an? If you are willing to tell me, I will tell you what is missing from Zi'an's hairpin." Murong Zhuangzhuang knew his weakness.
Prince Li's face darkened slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to know."
"Really? Is the missing thing an emerald or a ruby? It could also be a diamond. At the very least, it should be a red coral, right?" Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at his face proudly.
Prince Li didn't even look at Murong Zhuangzhuang, he turned around and walked away. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and walked back quickly, "Damn it, that Hanshan guy."
Zhuangzhuang exclaimed, looking at him in shock, "What? Imperial grandmother?"
"Otherwise, who do you think can control me? It would be best if Xia Zian is innocent, otherwise I will kill her first." Prince Li said angrily.
Zhuangzhuang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He didn't expect that the Royal Grandmother would let the Third Brother do such a thing. But why did the Royal Grandmother do this? Over the years, she and Aunt Ah She have been on Hanshan Mountain and have not cared about worldly affairs.
Besides, why would she look for the third brother instead of her? She is the eldest princess after all.
But... Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at Prince Li's handsome face that was as irritable as a pickled vegetable. Indeed, he was more suitable. No matter who it was in the court, even the queen was afraid of his style.
"There is a ruby on Zi'an's hairpin!" Murong Zhuangzhuang said quickly when he saw that he was about to lose his temper.
Prince Li heaved a long sigh of relief, as if the puzzle that had been hanging in his mind for a long time was finally solved. "It turned out to be a ruby. I had guessed it was a ruby. The craftsmanship of this dynasty usually matches silver ornaments to inlay, so it is either jade or ruby."
He turned around contentedly, "Aunt, drink the wedding wine slowly, I am leaving."
Murong Zhuangzhuang was stunned. "You're leaving now? I'm afraid this matter is not over yet."
"I don't care. Today is the third day of the lunar month. On the third day of every month, I have to take Ah Jin out for a swim."
"Don't you care about the Royal Grandmother's orders?" Murong Zhuangzhuang walked up to him, grabbed his arm and asked.
Prince Li slapped her hand away, "I only promised your grandmother to help twice, and I would help her when she said something serious, but I think I should help her now while things are not serious, so that I won't have to worry about it in the future. Besides, don't treat Xia Zian as a fool, isn't Ajie still here? With this old fox watching over him, Xia Zian won't suffer any loss. Hanshan only asked me to come because he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything due to his status as the regent. If the prime minister's mansion wants to make a fuss, he will definitely not stand idly by."
After saying this, he walked away leisurely.
Murong Zhuangzhuang felt that he was really cunning. The Queen Mother wanted him to help only when something big happened in the future. But he just helped with two small things and thought he had fulfilled the Queen Mother's instructions.
But she was very excited in her heart. She had told the second son before that the Empress Dowager might secretly pay attention to the affairs of the court, and it turned out to be true.
Murong Jie asked Xiao Tuo to take Guiyuan away, and then called Zi'an over.
"Your Highness!" Zi'an walked over. Actually, she had the ability to resolve the matter, but it would take some effort. She didn't expect Prince Li to lend a hand. The matter was resolved so smoothly, all thanks to him.
Zi'an was grateful to Prince Li in his heart, but he didn't know that he was helping him tonight in order to avoid having to do her a big favor in the future.
Murong Jie was still sitting on the armchair. "Just now, Ximen Xiaoqing said that you two were in love with each other?"
Zian nodded, "That's what he said!"
"Really?" Murong Jie asked in surprise, his eyes slightly darkening.
"Your Highness, do you believe it?" Zi'an saw the anger gathering in his eyes and immediately became serious.
Murong Jie stared at her and shook his head slowly, "I don't believe it. It's impossible. Although Ximen Xiaoqing is a bit mean, he is not blind. How can a good man fall in love with a woman like you? It doesn't make sense."
After saying that, he raised his proud head and stood up, kicking his long legs forward, "Stand back, let me see clearly."
Zi An just thought that he really suspected that there was something going on between him and Ximen Qing, but he actually found ways to ridicule her. He said unhappily, "What are you looking at? You'll still look like this no matter how hard you try. Only a blind person would fall for me."
Murong Jie nodded and said with great satisfaction: "I am very happy that you have self-knowledge. Please continue to maintain this humble attitude."
Zi'an felt a row of black lines falling on his forehead, but she had other things to ask him now, so she didn't bother with him, "Your Highness, has Prince Li ever been injured before? Why did his temperament suddenly change after being injured?"
"Injured? His temperament changed drastically?" Murong Jie thought for a moment and nodded, "Now that you put it that way, it's true."
"When did it happen?" Zi'an's heart sank and he looked at him eagerly.
Murong Jie said, "It happened a few months ago. His dog Dajin went crazy for some reason and knocked him to the ground, bruising his left forehead. He didn't even ask to kowtow when his right side was injured. It was really strange. He couldn't accept only one side being injured before."
Zian was speechless!
Looking at Murong Jie's gorgeous back, she cursed softly, "I was blind. I used to think you were so cold and arrogant, just a ruffian!"
"Does this make me feel itchy?"
Zi'an's head drooped immediately when he heard his light but threatening words from a distance.
She still couldn't afford to offend him.
