My husband is a traitor

Chapter 25 Showdown, Recognition

When Jiang Linlang came to the front hall, she saw a moon-white robe standing in front of the hall, as if admiring the calligraphy and painting on the wall, with her hands slightly folded behind her, her back straight and straight.

If Rong Jue is a deadly poppy, like a demon, then the most noble prince in the northern kingdom in front of him is like a noble and holy orchid, gentle like a spring breeze, like a summer flower.

When she first arrived in Lin'an, she was attracted and moved by this gentle and kind boy.

Swiping away the messy thoughts in his head, Jiang Linlang smiled decently, and called out briskly, "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang."

In fact, Qi Rui had already heard Jiang Linlang's footsteps when she came in, even though her footsteps were almost too soft to hear when she was practicing martial arts.

He was suddenly nervous, and he unconsciously shook hands behind his back, and his back froze for a moment.

Turning around with difficulty, Qi Rui had an unchanging gentle smile on his face, his brows and eyes were extremely gentle, when he looked at you, it seemed that you were his all.

Once, she was addicted to this pair of gentle eyes.But later I realized that he was so gentle to everyone.

She's just, a little bit special.

"Lin Lang..." Qi Rui had a pair of warm and affectionate eyes, the brilliance flowing quietly in them, like gentle water, it was difficult for people to move away.

And his eyes, which were already warm, were even more gentle when he saw Jiang Linlang.

Jiang Linlang slightly drooped her eyelashes to hide the sudden suddenness in her mind.

Looking up again, it was clear, she smiled faintly, "Why is His Highness Xiao Wang coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion when you have time?"

Qi Rui has always been the emperor's favorite son. Recently, several highnesses in Beijing have been in the limelight, and the queen who has always loved Qi Rui is willing to let Qi Rui go through hardships.

But she heard that Qi Rui has been very busy recently.

Hearing Lin Lang calling him "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang", Qi Rui's pupils shrank slightly, and the bitterness extended to the bottom of his eyes and the tip of his tongue.

It was as if, returning to the initial acquaintance, he was polite and unfamiliar.

"I..." He didn't know what identity and position he could use to find her, he could only silently care about her recent situation by inquiring about her news...

"Would you mind going out for a walk with me?" He broke into a wry smile, his voice soft and imperceptible.

Jiang Linlang sighed, the most worrying thing still happened.

In relationships, Jiang Linlang has always been stingy and sincere because she is afraid of being hurt.

For Qi Rui, she really fell in love with him, but facing the queen behind him, Gu Mingzhu beside him, she chose to back down.She can't afford to gamble, she cherishes her life more than love.

"Well, there are some things that I need to clarify with you face to face." She glanced at the guard outside and Xiaoqiao with a nervous face, and finally responded calmly.

Qi Rui was overjoyed, but when he saw Jiang Linlang's calm face like water, he felt uneasy, and his lips parted.

"Ma'am, this is..."

Walking out of the hall, the housekeeper stepped forward with a complex expression, glanced at Qi Rui beside Jiang Linlang, and then looked at Jiang Linlang questioningly.

"Butler, His Royal Highness Xiao Wang and I are going out for a while, and we will be back soon." When Jiang Linlang saw the butler, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she added with a smile, "I will tell Rong Jue later, um ?”

So you don't have to pass the complaint, understand?
After understanding and understanding Jiang Linlang's meaning, the butler was slightly taken aback, then cupped his hands and said, "The old slave sent some people to protect Madam..."

"No need, this king will ensure the safety of the princess and bring her back safely." Qi Rui looked at the butler, although his tone was gentle, but Jiang Linlang could hear his alienation and even a bit of majesty and indifference.

After all, he is also the prince born in the first place.

The butler lowered his head slightly, but he was neither humble nor overbearing, and frowned slightly. He was not very satisfied with Qi Rui's address to Jiang Linlang, but he dutifully bowed his hand, "Then I will thank you, Your Highness, to protect our wife."

After Jiang Linlang and Qi Rui left, a hidden guard appeared behind the steward, with a low voice, "Steward, master is now retreating, if he knows..."

But the housekeeper looked at Jiang Linlang's leaving back, shook his head slightly, and said firmly, "Madam knows how to measure."

At such an old age, he can still tell a certain degree of accuracy when looking at people.

……

"I still remember the scene when we first met..." Looking at Jiang Linlang standing in front of the Wangjiang Pavilion, Qi Rui couldn't help but a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

"Qi Rui, I'm not here to catch up with you."

Jiang Linlang threw a handful of fish food casually, tightened the cloak around her body, and turned around. Although her bright eyes were smiling, her face was very serious.

With Qi Rui's tense and uneasy expression on her face, she said calmly, "I remember that you gave me a helping hand when we first met. I just returned to the capital and I don't know the place well, so you helped me a lot. I also remember that we went out together in disguise to drink, watch cricket fights, watch operas, listen to music, and play chess together...

You are kind to me, I remember it all.But I also remember that I said at the beginning, if you can't choose to see the true face of your mother, queen and your cousin, please don't provoke me again.

I know very well that you value love and righteousness, and they are your closest relatives, so you naturally help them.So, I forgive you for being soft, but I can't bear to walk towards you.I can't afford to lose. "

"Stop talking!" The blood on Qi Rui's face faded little by little, and he lowered his head in pain, "It's not that I don't believe you...I know, the queen mother doesn't like you, Mingzhu is very headstrong...but, I thought I If you work hard, you will be able to shake hands and make peace. I thought I could get the best of both worlds... For this reason, I actively behaved in front of my father, thinking that when I came back, I could ask my father to order a marriage... Blame me, blame me for coming back It's a step too late...otherwise you wouldn't be forced to marry Rong Jue!"

"There is no best of both worlds in this world. There has always been a choice. Qi Rui, I am married to Rong Jue, you should see the facts. I liked you before, but from now on, we will only be ordinary friends. "Jiang Linlang looked at Qi Rui, who blamed himself and suffered like this, and couldn't help but darken his eyes, and sighed.

A filial son like Qi Rui, a gentle and considerate brother, has not seen the true colors of his queen mother and cousin at all.She was so naive as to think that she could ease her relationship with them!

Oh, the queen poisoned her, there is no way to solve this hatred!

After Jiang Linlang finished speaking, she passed Qi Rui and planned to go back.

Unexpectedly, Qi Rui's eyes turned red suddenly, he grabbed Jiang Linlang's wrist, and hugged her from behind.

"No—Lin Lang, I know you didn't do it voluntarily! Rong Jue is not a good person, he treats you badly. Just wait a little longer, I will definitely rescue you and never let him hurt you!"

Jiang Linlang froze suddenly, not because of Qi Rui's words.

But -

"Oh, how can His Royal Highness Xiao Wang save me, my wife?"
