Chapter 286 The Third Prince Behaving Weirdly
Chu Lingyue's appearance was a little bit wrong, Murong Jing frowned before nodding: "I met the third prince in the restaurant last night. Speaking of which, you met him earlier than me."

"Yes."

Chu Lingyue nodded, and then she expressed her feelings from yesterday until now: "Then do you feel... something is wrong with Your Highness?"

Chu Lingyue's words will never be questioned out of thin air. Murong Jing heard the words and thought about it, but she couldn't think of anything wrong, so she could only shake her head: "I never thought of it."

Compared to her, Murong Jing is more familiar with Li Chucheng, and now he has said that he doesn't feel anything wrong, could it be...

"Is it my illusion?"

It was rare to see Chu Lingyue so conflicted, so Murong Jing simply asked directly: "Speaking of which, the Third Prince left after he came to pay his respects yesterday? What did he do in such a short time to attract your attention?"

Does the young master want to learn too?

The daughter-in-law's attention is all on other men, even if that man is her boss, it's still very uncomfortable.

Chu Lingyue didn't know what Murong Jing was thinking, but she was really struggling to understand after Li Chucheng left yesterday, so she simply told the whole thing: "Yesterday the third prince asked me about Lu Mingmei, This is not surprising, I also told him the speculation that Feiyuelou might be involved, but..."

Chu Lingyue hesitated for a while about how to describe the feeling she had yesterday, and then said after a while: "It's just that the third prince's mood seems to be not right, and in the end he even solemnly thanked him...I always feel as if he is deliberately alienating me."

Finally pouring out the entanglement since yesterday, Chu Lingyue felt a lot lighter in her heart instantly, but when she looked at Murong Jing again, her expression didn't even change, she couldn't help frowning: "Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's so strange about this? There are differences between monarchs and ministers, not to mention that you are still a minister's wife. If the third prince gets close to you, I should be anxious?"

Chu Lingyue was stunned for a moment before realizing what Murong Jing meant, and she couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm serious, can you be more serious?"

Seeing that Chu Lingyue was really in a hurry, Murong Jing put away her joking thoughts: "It's just that you have been in the palace for a while, so logically you shouldn't do anything to offend the third prince, right?"

Even if Chu Lingyue did something to offend others unconsciously, Li Chucheng shouldn't be so normal in front of him, right?

Chu Lingyue also couldn't figure this out. The two of them looked at each other for a long time to no avail. Murong Jing simply got up and said, "It's useless to make wild guesses. I'll go and ask about it some other day."

As a prince, Li Chucheng is quite easy to deal with, if you have anything to ask, you don't need to hide it, especially with Li Chujun as a comparison, this is why Murong Jing chose him.

Without further ado, it was rare for Murong Jing not to get bored in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and only stole a scent on Chu Lingyue's face before leaving the inner palace.

It was a coincidence that he was walking all the way outside the palace, thinking about some excuse to ask someone out alone, when he saw Li Chucheng walking towards him talking with Dr. Yushitai not far away.

Naturally, the opportunity won't let it slip away in vain, and Murong Jing didn't care what the two were talking about, and walked over in a few steps: "Wei Chen has seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Li Chucheng was obviously a little surprised to see Murong Jing in the palace at this time, but he understood the direction he came from, and said with a smile: "Master Hou and Madam are really affectionate couples."

I don't know if it was influenced by Chu Lingyue's words just now. Murong Jing always felt that Li Chucheng's expression was a bit wrong when he said this, but it was difficult to say too much because Dr. Yu Shitai was by, so he just said a few perfunctory words: " Your Highness has worked so hard for disaster relief for a long time, and I am grateful for it, so I specially prepared the best Li Huabai, I wonder if Your Highness can give me a chance to express my heart?"

Li Chucheng frowned slightly, and then a smile soon appeared on his face: "I would like to get drunk with Lord Hou, but Master Li..."

Li Zhuo, who had been quiet beside him, suddenly said at this moment: "Hey, what I said is just a sign of the beginning. Your Highness has been working hard on disaster relief for a long time, so you should relax."

Li Chucheng paused for a while, but seeing Li Zhuo's smiling face, he could only hold back his smile and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Li, for your understanding."

"It should be."

After Li Zhuo finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Li Chucheng: "Your Majesty Li might as well come here together, Lord Hou won't mind?"

Murong Jing naturally wouldn't say anything, but Li Zhuo shook his head again and again: "Your Highness and Lord Hou are both young people, I'm an old man and I won't get involved. Besides, my wife is still waiting for me to go back. The old minister thanked His Highness for his kindness."

Li Zhuo has spent his whole life in the officialdom, so he has already mastered such things as looking at people's facial expressions. What's more, although Murong Jing is smiling, his obviously not very friendly eyes make Mr. Li respectful and far away.

Having said all this, Li Chucheng could only let go, and turned to look at Murong Jing after Li Zhuo's leaving was gone, "Your Majesty is free, it seems that yesterday's drink was not enough. "

No matter how good-tempered he is, he is still a prince. Just now, Murong Jing's almost semi-forced Li Yao's behavior to leave Li Yao to be alone with him still makes him a little unhappy.

It's just that Murong Jing obviously doesn't care much about his emotions, what he cares more is that Li Chucheng just invited Li Zhuoshi to avoid being alone with him.

Coupled with the flash of defense in Li Chucheng's eyes when he saw him just now, and the alienation that Chu Lingyue said, Murong Jing simply turned sideways and said, "Do you want to go with me, Your Highness?"

Seeing that the drinking could not be avoided, Li Chucheng took a deep breath and smiled: "I still have some trivial matters to report to my father about the disaster relief. Lord Hou, go first, I will be there later."

Li Fengyi has always tabooed that princes and military generals get too close, and it is really not a good idea to go to restaurants together, so Murong Jing didn't force it: "The minister is waiting for His Highness at the Zuixian Tower."

Murong Jing went out of the palace after saluting, Li Chucheng looked at the back of the person leaving, and then looked at the direction of the Palace of Compassion and Ning where he had come before, sighed secretly, but went in the opposite direction of the imperial study.

No matter what happened, Chu Lingyue couldn't be blamed for that incident. His previous reaction was a little overdone, and it's no wonder that Murong Jing, a wife-protecting madman, came to him to ask him for clarification. .

In the Zuixian Tower, Murong Jing didn't wait long, when Bai Zhi just brought over the Li Huabai he got a few days ago, Li Chucheng opened the door and came in.

"I see..."

"It's just you and me, don't be too polite."

Li Chucheng waved his hand to signal Murong Jing to sit opposite, and looked at the two jars of wine on the table: "Did you really go and get two jars of pear blossoms for nothing?"

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Murong Jing filled the cup and handed it over, said with a smile: "I don't have the guts to lie to Your Highness."

Li Chucheng didn't think about whether there was any deep meaning in his words, he just took the wine glass and smelled it, and the smile on his face deepened: "The wine tastes mellow but not strong, it is indeed a good wine."

"Of course, I asked for it from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion a few days ago. If it wasn't for Ling Yue, the Marquis of Weiyuan wouldn't necessarily give it to these two small altars."

Murong Jing deliberately mentioned Chu Lingyue in his words. If Li Chucheng would usually joke with him, but today he avoided the topic intentionally or unintentionally. It seems that it really lives up to its reputation.”

"Yes."

Murong Jing echoed a few words, but Li Chucheng was reluctant to say that he was not easy to press, so he could only change the subject: "By the way, what happened to your Highness when you went out to relieve the disaster? Can you share it with me?"

There was nothing unusual before he left, so it should be that something happened during the disaster relief that made him alienate Chu Lingyue.

Li Chucheng didn't answer the words. At this point, no matter how stupid he is, he should know what Murong Jing's purpose is today. Although it can be regarded as an old story, looking into Murong Jing's eyes, Li Chucheng But Cheng couldn't say no for a long time.

The room fell into silence for a while, and Murong Jing didn't urge her, just sipped at Li Huabai and watched the people coming and going outside the window, and it took a long while before Li Chucheng said: "It is true that something happened."

Ever since he heard about that incident that day, he knew that he would never be able to hide it from Murong Jing and his wife, but he didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly.

However, he never thought about how long this matter could be kept from the two of them, so he hesitated for a while and said: "The disaster relief was quite smooth, but on the way back, the shadow guard rescued a group of bandits. woman."

Having said that, Li Chucheng paused for a while, but Murong Jing didn't urge him, but poured another glass of wine for someone and listened quietly.

Li Chu accepted his thoughts, and then continued: "The woman also escaped from the famine, so I told her about the imperial government's disaster relief appropriation, but she seemed more interested in my identity than the disaster relief appropriation. "

Murong Jing frowned slightly, and couldn't help interrupting: "This woman...knows Your Highness?"

Li Chucheng glanced at Murong Jing, not at all surprised that the other party could guess this, just nodded and said: "That's right."

Murong Jing didn't speak anymore, but her eyes instantly became dark.

Since he knew the third prince, this woman must be an old man in the palace. Thinking of the chaos in the palace more than ten years ago, he had already vaguely guessed the reason why Li Chucheng distanced himself from Chu Lingyue.

Li Chucheng only took a deep look at the person opposite, and seeing that the other person stopped talking, he continued: "I have been living in the palace and seldom show up. Since this woman says she knows me, she must be an old person in the palace. After saying this, she stopped talking, and I couldn't force her to do so, so I could only take her for a while."

Murong Jing raised her eyebrows: "For a stranger of unknown origin, Your Highness is really relieved to allow him to be by his side."
