Quick Wear: The Villain's Beloved

Halfway through the banquet, everyone prepared to go to the Begonia Garden to enjoy the flowers.

Lan Qian felt that someone was staring at her from time to time. Even in front of so many people, there was an unconcealable hatred in that gaze. Without looking, she knew it was Princess Ning Xi.

After all, she is a princess who has been spoiled since childhood, but she is so unkind... or she is too disdainful to hide her emotions.

"Tuanzi, what is their plan?"

Lan Qian asked.

Xiaotuanzi was silent for a moment: [It should be the same as the original plot, letting the host...'fall into the water'. ]

In the plot, the original owner probably "accidentally" fell into the water and died at this time. As to whether it was really "accidental" or not, it is unknown. We only know that after the original owner's death, the title of the most beautiful woman in the world fell into the hands of Princess Ningxi.

"Is it."

Lan Qian stood up slowly.

"Fifth sister-in-law."

Princess Ningxi on the other side called her over and walked over: "Sister-in-law, please stay. I have something to tell you."

Princess Duan also stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Since Ning Xi and Fifth Brother's wife have something to say, then this palace and the ladies will go to the Begonia Garden first. What do you think of Fifth Brother's wife?"

Lan Qian glanced at Princess Duan.

Princess Duan was dignified and kind, and there was no sign that she was helping Princess Ningxi plot against her. Lan Qian also wanted to see what they were planning to do, so she said calmly, "Okay."

A group of people left.

Lan Qian and Princess Ningxi were the only ones left. Seeing this, Princess Ningxi finally stopped being nice on the surface and snorted coldly, "An Ran, do you know what I want to say to you?"

She didn't seem to need Lan Qian's answer and continued to talk to herself: "It's nothing, actually. This princess just wants to tell you that you are a princess of a defeated country, and even if the fifth brother is somewhat interested in you now, he will be disgusted with you after a while."

"Princess Ningxi has hysteria?"

Lan Qian glanced at her.

"W-what did you say?"

Princess Ningxi was stunned for a moment, probably because she didn't expect Lan Qian to dare to say that. After she reacted, she was angry: "Lan Qian, how dare you scold me, I..."

"If the princess is suffering from hysteria, she should ask the imperial physician to take a good look. Otherwise, if she goes crazy like this, it will damage the reputation of Xuelan Country."

Lan Qian's expression was calm. After he finished speaking, he ignored her and walked away.

"An Ran, you——"

Princess Ningxi's face looked very ugly, and she could hardly hold back her anger. She had kept An Ran to buy time so that the plan could proceed smoothly, but now she was humiliated by her.

She clenched her hands tightly, almost losing control.

But I don’t know what I was thinking, but I still endured it.

Lan Qian talked to Xiaotuanzi as they walked.

"Are they ready?"

【Yes host. 】

The little dumpling answered obediently.

"very good."

Lan Qian lowered her eyes, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.

Little Dumpling: ...I always feel a little scared.

Princess Ningxi was the only one left at the banquet.

"Princess...Princess, should we follow her?" The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and carefully observed her expression.

"Shut up!"

Princess Ningxi shouted angrily.

His eyes were fixed on the direction where Lan Qian left.

Wait!

In a moment, that woman would die.

Once she dies, there will be no one left by the Fifth Brother's side. No woman... can stand by the Fifth Brother's side!

-

The others had already gone to the Begonia Garden. It was Lan Qian's first time to visit Prince Duan's Mansion, so naturally she didn't know the way. Fortunately, Prince Duan's Mansion had made proper arrangements, and as soon as she left the banquet, a maid came to lead the way.

"Princess Ding, please follow me."

The maid bowed and led the way.

Lan Qian glanced at her calmly.

[Host, this maid was arranged by them, and now they are planning to lead you to the lake.]

"know."

Although the maidservant behaved very respectfully, Lan Qian did not miss the strange look that flashed across her eyes.

Ok……

Little Dumpling was a little depressed.

The host is too powerful, and it feels as if it is completely useless. Although it seems... as if... it is indeed... of no use?

But... it's still very happy to win without doing anything!

hey-hey……

I followed the maid through several courtyard gates and turned a few corners, and finally saw the three words "Haitang Garden" at a stone gate.

But the handwriting is a bit new, and it looks like it was just carved not long ago.

Lan Qian took a quick glance and then looked away.

It was as if nothing was discovered.

"Princess Ding," the maid stopped and bowed, "This is the Begonia Garden. The nobles are all admiring the flowers inside. I am of humble status, so I will not follow you in."

"Go down."

Lan Qian asked her to leave.

[Host, why did you let her go? ]

Xiaotuanzi was puzzled.

It thought the host would do something and was ready to watch the show.

"She's just a maid." Lan Qian walked in calmly. "Besides, Mu Qiu has been following behind us. He will know how to deal with it."

【Mu Qiu? 】

The little dumpling looked around and indeed found his trace.

[Host, how do you know that Mu Qiu has been behind? ]

As the chief of the secret guards of Prince Ding's Palace, Mu Qiu's tracking and concealment abilities are naturally first-rate. Even as a system, it needs careful investigation to discover him.

Lan Qian's eyes formed an imperceptible arc.

"you guess?"

Little Dumpling: ...

The location of this garden is remote, and the scenery inside is a bit shabby. It seems that no one has come to clean it for a long time. Lan Qian walked along the path in the garden, and soon saw a lake.

"right here?"

The place where the original owner died.

【Yes. 】

The entire lake is not very big and is surrounded by a fence, but the fence is very old and seems like it will break if you are not careful. The water surface is emerald green and it is difficult to tell how deep it is.

Just as Lan Qian walked to the lake, a man in black suddenly appeared.

He took action without saying a word.

Seeing that the man in black was approaching, there was no sign of panic on Lan Qian's face, which made the man in black very confused.

Are you scared?

This is good, a quick victory.

But just as he thought this, he felt his eyes blurred.

The next moment, a powerful attack came, he was unable to dodge, was knocked out and seriously injured.

"princess."

Mu Qiu bowed respectfully.

"Are you hurt?"

Even he could not have imagined that the people in Prince Duan's Mansion were so bold as to murder the princess in broad daylight. If anything happened to the princess, how would he go back and face the prince?

"nothing."

The voice was calm and peaceful, and it didn't seem like the person was frightened.

Mu Qiu felt slightly relieved.

"It is not advisable to stay here for long. Please return home as soon as possible, Princess."

This attack failed, and he didn't know whether Prince Duan's Mansion had made more preparations. He was alone, and if Prince Duan's Mansion had any backup plans, he might not be able to protect the princess from harm.

Lan Qian glanced at the man in black on the ground, and then glanced at the deserted garden:

"It's time to go back."

[Host, why do I hear... you seem a little disappointed? ]

The little dumpling was puzzled.

Lan Qian sighed silently, and answered as she walked back, "I thought there was going to be some big move, but I didn't expect they only sent a man in black."

He's too weak, she doesn't even need to do anything.

Apart from this man in black, there doesn't seem to be any other backup plan.

Little Dumpling: ...

[Host, is it possible... that you are too strong? ]

After all, in the eyes of others, Princess An Ran was just a delicate princess raised in the deep palace, and sending one person to deal with her was more than enough. Besides, who would have thought that Prince Ding would send someone specifically to protect her?

Lan Qian left Prince Duan's Mansion.

Half an hour later, Princess Ningxi heard the news. She was admiring the flowers in the Begonia Garden, and she could hardly control her expression in front of everyone.

"what happened?"

She moved away from the crowd and came to a secluded place.

The look on his face was very ugly.

"Princess, the person we sent is seriously injured and unconscious, but Princess Ding is unharmed and has already left Prince Duan's Mansion." A palace maid reported to her.

"How did you leave?"

Princess Ningxi's voice was angry.

"The guard at the door said..." The maid looked at her carefully and hesitated, "Mu Qiu, who is beside Prince Ding, is with Princess Ding."

As the confidant of her master, the palace maid naturally knew her princess's thoughts about Prince Ding and her jealousy towards Princess Ding. Now seeing Mu Qiu in Prince Duan's Mansion was enough to prove how much Prince Ding valued Princess Ding, and how angry this made the princess.

Sure enough, Princess Ningxi's face became increasingly gloomy.

Suddenly she thought of something and asked:

"Where's Xiaohe?"

Xiaohe was the palace maid who led the way.

"Xiaohe..." The maid hesitated, "I don't know where she is."

The entire Prince Duan’s Mansion was not found.

"An, Ran!"

The sound of gnashing teeth was distorted with jealousy.

"This princess underestimated her!"

The plan this time was to lure An Ran to the abandoned garden and push her into the lake to ensure that she was killed. If anyone investigated her death, they would say that she got lost and accidentally fell into the lake.

There is no evidence and it won't involve her.

I originally thought that I could easily deal with that woman, but I didn't expect that she would be so protected by the Fifth Prince!

What a great skill!

Princess Duan, who was not far away, noticed the commotion here, frowned, and realized that something unexpected might have happened. She called the maid beside her and whispered something to her.

Then the maid left quietly.
