Doctor Sun's legs went weak, and he knelt down: "Yes, it was my slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Go on." Prince Nangong Leng's thin lips lightly parted, his pair of black pupils frighteningly deep.
After Doctor Sun had left, Housekeeper Xiao, who was by the side, brought a bowl of hot tea to Nangong Leng: "Your Highness, are you planning... to keep the young lady here?"
Nangong Leng's slender hand gently stroked the pattern on the cup lid, his eyes as vast as the sea under the moonlit night, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
After a long time, a domineering and cold voice resounded in the camp: "She has always been mine."
"But do you forget how the young lady used to treat you, Your Highness?" Housekeeper Xiao, who watched Nangong Leng grow up, naturally knew the story between him and Lin Huijin very well.
"You were so good to her before, but what about her? Not only did she secretly interact with other princes behind your back, but she was always sarcastic towards you, and her words were filled with contempt for you. You like the young lady, but she doesn't like you at all, does she?" Housekeeper Xiao was genuinely distressed. Ever since the prince woke up from his illness three years ago, his personality had greatly changed.
He went from being a kind-hearted and gentle prince to a ruthless, decisive, and fearsome wolf. His thoughts also became increasingly difficult to guess. According to his current ruthless personality, he should kill Lin Huijin, who betrayed and abandoned him. However... why does the prince want to keep Lin Huijin?
"Uncle Xiao, I know. But she has always been mine." Nangong Leng had been accompanied by Housekeeper Xiao for many years. He treated Xiao like an elder and was therefore very polite to him. However, his words were firm, and no one could easily shake them.
"Having followed Your Highness for many years, this old servant knows how much you liked the young lady back then. But even if you still like her, she is now the consort of Prince Jin and has become another man's woman. Do you intend to take her from Prince Jin?" Housekeeper Xiao shook his head repeatedly, his brows deeply furrowed.
"That's exactly my intention," Nangong Leng's tone remained indifferent.
For a while, Housekeeper Xiao didn't know what to say. He could only sigh and shake his head. The prince had overcome every obstacle, but why couldn't he get past this beauty?
"Your Highness, Prince Jin is here. He says he's here to find his consort." At this moment, Xiao Buli, who had a baby face, walked in and reported.
"Let him in," Nangong Leng said as he lifted the tea lid, releasing a fragrance of fresh tea. The green leaves floated in the white porcelain cup, full of spring.
The tent, adorned with tiger stripes, was lifted, and a handsome man in an exquisite brocade robe, exuding nobility, walked in. However, when he saw the man in a black robe and silver mask sitting composedly at the main seat, Nangong Xuan, who had just stepped into the camp, paused.
Rumors about the Evil Prince had been circulating in the capital for three years, such as his bravery in battle, wisdom in planning, ruthlessness, and brutality... He didn't think these words could apply to the mild-mannered, weak third prince.
But when he walked into the camp, a domineering aura immediately overwhelmed him. Is this really the Nangong Leng who was disliked by the Emperor and bullied by other princes, yet did not dare to retaliate?
