Demon Girl Against the Sky: Phoenix on Fire

Chapter 55 Don't Give Up
"The Shining Inn is open, master..." Xiaoli wanted to say senior brother, but suddenly Bing Lan and master's hands tightly flashed in his mind, he swallowed the word "brother" and changed it to, "Nanfeng and I are fine It’s a good gift, this gold abacus is placed at the door to attract wealth and treasure.”

Holding this heavy abacus, Bing Lan couldn't help but cry. He Yi might not dare to use such a luxurious abacus. Although he hated the gift in his heart, he still had a pleasant expression on his face, "Thank you two senior brothers."

Hearing the word "Senior Brother" from Bing Lan's mouth, the two of them had a certainty in their minds. It seemed that they could still call her Little Junior Sister.

"Hey, Junior Sister, I heard that what is the name of the one in your inn... Oh, membership card, you can order a dish that is not for sale with the card?" Without the shackles of identity, Xiao Li seemed much more relaxed. The word "Junior Sister" Said sneaky.

The implication of his words is: In our relationship, do we have to send a letter of meaning?

But Bing Lan didn't know whether she understood or deliberately pretended not to understand, "Well, that's what I said."

Xiao Li gritted his teeth, and continued to say cheekily, "You said our relationship..."

"What's the relationship between you two?" Chi Yu put down his teacup, looked up at Xiaoli, there was still a smile in his eyes, but there was indeed a chill in Xiaoli's eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Li shook his head again and again.

Binglan lowered her head and smiled, greeted them and turned to leave.

There was silence in the house.

After a while, Bing Lan pushed the door open again and came in, holding two gold-plated membership cards in her hands, and gave one to each of Xiaoli and Nanfeng.

As for why he didn't give it to Chi Yan, everyone knew that Bing Lan was the boss, and with Chi Yan's current status, he didn't need a membership card, just let him know what he wanted to eat.

"Is there any money in this card?" Xiao Li blinked, looking at Bing Lan expectantly.

Bing Lan raised her eyebrows, "Do you think the golden abacus of the two of you is worth how much money I put in the card?"

Yihui Inn implements a membership card system. If you spend more than [-] taels of silver, you will get a white card, and you can enjoy a [-]% discount with this card; If you have silver, you will get a gold card. With this card, you can enjoy a [-]% discount, and you can enjoy the dishes that are not sold by the inn once a week; of course, each card can be recharged, and you can just swipe the card when the time comes.

Xiao Li smiled contemptuously, and quickly put the card into his pocket, he moved quickly, as if afraid of Bing Lan's repentance.

Nanfeng thanked him and accepted it.

A few people were chatting with each other, mainly talking about the examination of the English Rhyme Academy, and it will be the day after tomorrow.

"I'll take a look when the time comes." Bing Lan said.

"We were probably very busy that day, so we might not be able to take care of you." Xiao Li said.

"It's okay, I'm wandering around, just pretend you haven't seen me." She had long wanted to go to one of the four legendary holy places to see and see.

Originally, the inn planned to open for one day, but there were too many people, so it was extended to the next day.

Dongfang Baoying was grounded and couldn't leave the palace, while Binglan took the queen in men's clothes and Dongfang Youlin who insisted on following her around.

Although the palace is big and has many things, it is still not as lively as outside.

"Good daughter, from now on I will sneak out whenever I am bored in the palace, you take me around, the outside is really more interesting than the palace." The queen said with a smile.

Before Binglan could speak, the prince beside him said, "I'm afraid that father can't let you out."

The queen snorted, "I said I sneaked out, as long as you don't tell, your father won't find out."

"Emiang, aren't you pushing me into the fire pit? If my father finds out, I will definitely be skinned." Dongfang Youlin showed embarrassment.

"Come on, let's go over there and ignore him." The Queen said to Bing Lan.

Bing Lan smiled and followed beside the queen.

The three of them walked to the lake outside the city. Because the weather turned cold, there were very few people around.

"I'll sit here and rest for a while, you young people go for a walk." Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the lake, the queen cried out that she was tired, and Binglan wanted to send her back, but she still didn't agree, so she insisted on sitting under a tree to rest, Binglan wants to accompany her, but she also disagrees.

At first, I didn't understand what the queen meant, but when I saw Dongfang Youlin who was talking beside me, I understood that the queen still didn't give up.

"Lan... Binglan, let's walk around, there are guards in the dark, so don't worry about Erniang's safety." Dongfang Youlin's voice was very low, with a humble attitude, as if making a loud noise would scare Binglan away, " I have something to tell you."

"I'm really sleepy, you guys go quickly." The queen said with a smile on the side.

Binglan frowned, her intention of not wanting to go was very obvious, but both of them chose to ignore the sympathy between their hearts.

"Lan'er, actually I..."

"His Royal Highness." After walking a certain distance, Binglan stopped in front of Dongfang Youlin, raised her head and looked at him coldly, "As you think, I have someone I like, so please respect yourself."

Dongfang Youlin sighed heavily, took a step forward, Bing Lan frowned and took two steps back, seeing the obvious disgust on the other party's face, the prince was in a low mood, and an unknown burst of fire burst out, "You didn't have such an attitude towards me before, why is it so now, don't tell me that you like other people, I don't believe it, how can you change your heart in this short period of time."

"You can treat the former Han Ruyu as dead. My name is Binglan. I won't, and it's impossible to like you. If you keep making trouble like this..."

"Brother Prince, who is this?" Bing Lan's words were interrupted by a delicate voice, the familiar four words "Brother Prince", she knew who it was without turning her head, "Han Ruyu! Why are you here? "

The person who came was Han Ruyan. Because he was locked at home by the prime minister to cultivate his magic power recently, he didn’t know anything about the rumors outside. He was only curious as to why the prince didn’t come to the prime minister’s mansion for so long. This time, he begged his father and finally got permission. Go out for half a day.

She liked coming here before, and she came here directly when she went out this time.

After walking a few steps, he saw the familiar figure from the back that he had been thinking about all this time. He was pleasantly surprised. He was about to run over to say hello, but he saw a person standing in front of the prince. Because he was far away, he couldn't see his true appearance.

Approaching, before she finished speaking, she met Bing Lan's eyes, she immediately knew who this person was, she had already left the prime minister's mansion, and she did not forget to collude with her prince brother, how shameless!Han Ruyan's heart was on fire.

"This is not the Prime Minister's Mansion, why can't I be here?" Bing Lan said casually.

"You don't want to give up, do you? Now that you have severed ties with the prime minister's mansion, do you think the marriage contract between you and the crown prince still counts?" Han Ruyan spoke quickly, as if she was about to bite Bing Lan It was broken and swallowed in the stomach.

("What does it have to do with you?" Bing Lan hid her hands in her sleeves, holding a love letter from the crown prince to Han Ruyan.

Under the tree, the queen seemed to have heard the commotion here, opened her eyes, and could only see a girl arguing in front of Bing Lan for some reason, worried in her heart, and hurriedly called the secret guard, "You have good eyesight, can you Can you see what that woman looks like?"

The guard squinted his eyes and said, "Queen, if I read correctly, it should be the prime minister's daughter, Han Ruyan."

Hearing this name, the Queen's heart skipped a beat. She remembered that her son had mentioned her name several times before, and heard the ambiguous rumors between the two of them half a month ago. She had a bad premonition in her heart and hurriedly got up. walked over.

"I have something to talk to Binglan, you go back first." The prince said.

Han Ruyan couldn't hear it, but she was still angry, "Han Ru... oh, no, Binglan, you used to be a guest at home in a black cloak, and your father entertained you with good wine and food, but you actually lied to your father. What a shameless trick, say, what are you doing!"

The more Han Ruyan thought about it, the angrier she became. When her father first learned that the cloaked boy was Han Ruyu, he was so angry that he fell ill, and now he is still resting at home.

Binglan wanted to laugh when she heard that, when did Han Hainuo entertain him with good wine and good food, and asked her to be a guest, it was just a request, "It's nothing, it's just boring."

She was telling the truth.

"Shameless!" Han Ruyan stepped forward, stretched out his hand and waved towards Binglan,
"Yan'er, stop making trouble, go back quickly." The prince turned around, protecting Bing Lan behind him, and grabbed Han Ruyan's wrist.

Seeing the prince's gesture, Han Ruyan was completely angry, and shook off the prince's hand, with a sad expression on his face, "Dongfang Youlin! Have you forgotten what you said and wrote to me? Protect her? What do you think?"

"What words? What words?" The queen happened to come over and heard these words.

Han Ruyan turned his head and glanced at the queen, but he didn't recognize the mother of a nation in men's clothing. He thought she was just an unremarkable friend of the prince, so he ignored her.

"You will regret treating me like this now! Sooner or later, I will let the world know what you have done!" After finishing speaking, Han Ruyan gave Binglan a hard look, and left angrily.

"Lin'er, say it!" After all, she is the mother of a country. Even though she speaks softly on weekdays, she still has an aura of calm and prestige when she gets angry. "What words? What words?"

Binglan is very clear, she is not interested in listening, not to mention, there is something urgent to do now.

"Godmother, it's getting late, I'll go back to the inn first, and I'll rest assured that the prince will send you back later." After speaking, Binglan smiled at the queen, walked around the two of them and left.

He opened his mouth, but the queen didn't say a single word, anyone could understand the scene just now, her son was covered with flowers and grass everywhere, and she really didn't have the face to say anything to Bing Lan.

"If you don't tell me, I'll ask in person!" After the figure of Bing Lan was out of sight, the Queen withdrew her gaze, and her eyes fell on the Prince again.

Seeing that the queen was really angry, Dongfang Youlin told the queen the contents of the letter, but concealed the fact that he threw Han Ruyu into the Huolingniao cave.

"You, you are really... really confused!" The Queen's breath became heavier, "I can't control it anymore!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Dongfang Youlin clenched his fists, turned around and punched the tree trunk, and the fallen leaves that were already crumbling scattered all over his head and face.

suburban yard

The cook was tidying up in the kitchen, when she heard footsteps outside, she hurriedly put down her things and came out.

"Miss, you're back, haven't you eaten yet, I'll make it for you."

"Don't worry, I ate outside." Bing Lan waved her hand, "You go and call Ting Ge and Ning Gu."

The cook replied, turned and left.

Soon, the two came over.

Bing Lan took out the two pieces of paper from his pocket.

"Distribute the contents of these two pieces of paper. I need the news to reach the ears of everyone in Nanqi before the sun goes down tomorrow."

"Yes."

The two took the paper and went out in the dark.

"This is my wedding gift for you two." Bing Lan murmured in a low voice, and the cold moonlight shone on her body, making her look hazy.

As expected, Ning Gu and Ting Ge fulfilled their mission. It was still dark the next day, and the heavy news of "His Royal Highness and the Miss Xiangfu's conceived knot" was like a stone falling into the river, rippled and circled. Diffusion, spread to everyone's ears.

The people in the prime minister's mansion soon learned of the news.

The prime minister's wife could only sigh incessantly at the crying pear blossom and rainy daughter. The rumors outside became more and more ugly. Yan'er was still a girl who hadn't left the court. How could she bear such rumors? She hadn't read the two letters yet. , so I don't know how the rumor came out, the top priority now is to hide it from Han Hainuo.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. A few hours later, Han Hainuo also found out about this, and went straight to Han Ruyan's yard angrily. The prime minister's wife was protecting her daughter. The news came, and an imperial decree called Han Hainuo into the palace.

The speed of the news spread even faster than the wind, no one in the palace wanted to deliberately hide this matter.

Dongfang Youlin knelt on the ground, the emperor sat on a chair, and the queen stood to one side.

"Say! What's going on!" The emperor slapped the table hard, and the shelf with the writing brush on it trembled. There were two pieces of evidence next to his hand, but they were plagiarized versions.

"The child was young and frivolous at the time, and he did something wrong." Dongfang Youlin thought that Han Ruyan spread the news on purpose, and now he even has the intention of killing her.

"It said in the letter that Lan'er's face was destroyed, is it related to you?" The Queen asked with a trembling voice.

Dongfang Youlin did not speak for a long time, and acquiesced.

The emperor said "ridiculous" three times in a row. He was not angry that his son had done something wrong, but angry that he left something behind.

"Father, mother, the child really knows his mistake."

"What's the use of knowing a mistake? It's already happened." The queen sighed, then turned to look at the emperor, "What should I do about this?"

The emperor fixed his eyes on the two pieces of paper at hand, and then said bluntly, "There is no other way, I ordered to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister."

"no!"

"No!"

The queen and Dongfang Youlin shouted in unison.

In the entire palace, apart from state affairs, as long as the queen mother does not object, what the father says is of course an imperial decree. If the queen mother objects, everything will be according to her. Dongfang Youlin looked at the queen, eager to let her persuade the emperor.

"Letting Lin'er marry Han Ruyan is not in her favor? In order to force her son to marry her, she did not hesitate to tarnish her own reputation and did such a despicable thing. Her character is low. I can't let her be my daughter-in-law. "Seeing the emperor's expression was a little moved, the queen continued, "Think about it, the son is the future prince, and the wife is the future empress of the world. This person must be worthy of this title. Han Ruyan's character is low, and she is not worthy of it!"

The emperor frowned, this matter is really difficult, "But this rumor is not groundless, but well-founded.")
