Chapter 587 Mo Lingwei Comes to Visit

The door was opened by the concierge. As soon as the door was opened, the tall figure standing outside was seen.

The distinguished prince wore a dark blue robe, and his jade crown was stained with dewdrops at night. Under the early sun, it reflected a cool light.

Under the crown, his sword-like eyebrows and thin eyelashes were covered with dew and frost, just like the pattern on his shoulders.

I don’t know how long Mo Lingwei has been standing here.

The concierge rubbed his eyes, and after seeing clearly that it was really Mo Lingwei, he saluted and asked with a bowed waist: "Prince, why are you here? Are you looking for... looking for the master?"

Originally, the concierge wanted to ask, Mo Lingwei should be looking for the princess, right?

But thinking of the unpleasant things he had heard recently about the princess and Mo Lingwei, he changed the question to his own master.

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips, and there were a few bloodshot in his thin eyes that had not rested well.

"I'm looking for Shen Ningning."

The concierge hesitated for a moment, remembering that the eldest young master had just ordered yesterday that if the prince's men came to look for their princess, they should be turned away first.

But now that the prince came in person, the concierge didn't have the courage to turn them away directly.

He said with some embarrassment: "The princess may not have woken up yet."

"It doesn't matter, then I'll continue to wait, and when she wakes up, you can report it for me."

After Mo Ling finished speaking, he really continued to stand at the door.

The morning sun rose, the sky was full of bright light, and he was covered with dew on his shoulders, his eyes were firm.

Seeing this, the concierge didn't dare to stop anything, so he could only turn around and go back to the mansion quickly to tell his master.

A moment later, Xie Suzhi, who was dressed neatly, hurried to the main gate.

"The prince's arrival, I didn't know, I neglected it." Xie Suzhi bowed.

Mo Lingwei helped him up: "Prime Minister, don't blame yourself. I came here this time to talk to Shen Ningning. If there is nothing else, Prime Minister, go and do your work."

Xie Suzhi's elegant face, expression unchanged, still respectful.

"In this case, Your Highness, why don't you go into the mansion, drink tea and wait slowly."

Mo Lingwei thought for a while before stepping inside.

In the flower hall, Butler Pang brought the best new tea.

Xie Suzhi got permission and sat in the seat below Mo Lingwei.

Facing Xie Suzhi, thinking of the emperor's request to Shen Ningning, Mo Lingwei felt ashamed.

He put down the teacup he had just picked up: "Prime Minister, there are some things I want to explain to you first, so that you don't get misunderstandings when you know it later."

Xie Suzhi's face was indifferent, and the corners of his lips were pursed with an appropriate and decent smile.

"Your Highness, what you want to talk about is the private conversation between the Emperor and my daughter, right?"

Mo Lingwei was shocked and raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "Does the Prime Minister know?"

Xie Suzhi smiled, but his eyes seemed a little dark and cold.

"I didn't know it at first. I am ashamed to say that as a father, I usually say how much I love my daughter, but now that something has happened, I know that she has suffered such a great injustice."

Mo Lingwei lowered his eyes, his cold face, with a hint of apology.

"Father didn't think well. Shen Ningning is kind-hearted, so he agreed to his father's unreasonable request. Before coming here, Father told me that he regretted it. I came here this time to apologize to Shen Ningning."

Xie Suzhi raised his head: "Then what?"

Mo Lingwei was stunned, not understanding what he meant by this question.

The warm and distant attitude that Prime Minister Xie usually showed seemed to be as sharp as a knife at this moment.

"Even if your Highness gets Ningning's forgiveness, what next? Do you want to continue telling my daughter that you like her in your heart, right?"

Mo Lingwei's jawline was tight, and his dark eyes looked at Xie Suzhi.

He said every word firmly: "I do like her."

Xie Suzhi smiled helplessly and shook his head slowly.

"Please forgive me for being rude. Your Highness likes me, but as a father, I don't want my daughter to marry you after she has suffered such grievances."

"I have been in the officialdom for many years. I have always been people-oriented and respectful to the emperor. My family motto is to be loyal to the emperor and defend the country. I must not have any second thoughts. But the emperor was afraid of my merits and contributions, and thought that this was a foreign relative who would threaten the position of the crown prince."

"Even if the misunderstanding is resolved now, Ningning doesn't mind, but if she really marries into the palace, I am afraid that someone will use the fact that the foreign relatives are powerful to attack my daughter if there is a little disturbance in the court in the future."

"So, Your Highness, if you really like her, you should learn to watch her happy and free, that's enough, instead of insisting that she stay by your side. Your position is unshakable. You will need a good queen when you ascend the throne as a monarch in the future, and my daughter Ningning is definitely not suitable for such a hard-working identity."

Mo Lingwei was silent.

The light and shadow shone in through the lotus golden screen. When the wind moved, the green bells under the eaves rang in unison.

After a while, he said, "I believe Shen Ningning has her own judgment and choice. I understand what the Prime Minister just said."

"But as for what Shen Ningning chooses, it doesn't matter. I am still ready to apologize to her and express my feelings. It doesn't matter whether she accepts it or not. I fully respect any decision she makes."

Hearing this, Xie Suzhi raised his chin slightly, and his face looked a little serious.

After a while, he nodded slightly and said to the housekeeper beside him, "Go ask the backyard if Ningning has woken up. If she has, ask her to come to the front hall and tell her that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting."

"Yes." Uncle Pang went quickly.

After a while, Uncle Pang ran back to report, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has woken up and said she will be here soon."

Xie Suzhi took the initiative to stand up: "Your Highness, there are some things I think you two need to talk about alone. In this case, I will not stay. There are still some trivial matters in the palace. I will come back after I finish them."

Mo Lingwei stood up to see him off.

Xie Suzhi walked to the door, and Butler Pang had already harnessed the carriage for him.

"Master, the princess has reconciled with His Highness the Crown Prince. Do you still want to resign and retire?"

"Yes, the emperor's move really makes me feel disappointed. If I continue to serve such a person, I will be sorry for my daughter. My two sons have made contributions in the court. It doesn't matter if I am missing one."

This time he entered the palace to resign.

He had already thought about taking his daughter to travel around the world and take her to relax.

Xie Suzhi bent down and got on the carriage.

In the hall, Mo Lingwei was a little nervous while waiting for Shen Ningning.

Now that the misunderstandings have been resolved and Shen Ningning has no worries, will her relationship with him return to the same as before?

Mo Lingwei paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about how to talk to her later, until Shen Ningning appeared at the door of the flower hall.

"Brother, you keep walking back and forth, don't you feel dizzy?" The girl was wearing a pink and white dress, and her faint smile was as bright and beautiful as the morning dew in spring.

Mo Lingwei was startled, and his heart was slightly happy.

Shen Ningning's attitude was finally not as aloof as before.
