Chapter 25

The fifth prince froze for a moment, feeling that the prince's words meant something.

Jinxiu yawned in the crowd, her eyes were empty, as if she wasn't thinking about anything.

But when Xiao Yunzhi passed by her, he quickly stuffed something into her hand.

Then he and the princess walked away with the emperor and the others.

[The royal family hunted, the prince was attacked, and the arrow in his chest almost killed him...]

[The identity of the assassin is unknown. After the assassination was successful, all of them committed suicide by taking poison. There was nothing on their body to prove their identity. 】——This is the original text in the book.

Jinxiu rubbed the things on her hands, wanting to laugh.

Where did that guy get his hair?
Could it be that the horse race was just for this thing?
Avoiding the eyes of everyone, Jinxiu covered her hands with her sleeves so that no one could see.

She was very curious - what did Xiao Yunzhi want with this thing?

The emperor was telling his princes countless times about the Xiao family's feats of conquering the country, while the empress quietly pulled the princess aside.

She looked at the princess' stomach with some dissatisfaction: "Why hasn't there been any movement?"

The Crown Princess has a pale face, how dare she say that the Crown Prince hasn't touched her yet...

"And what happened to your face?"

The empress's tone was a bit unfriendly: "As a crown princess, do I need to remind you how important face is?"

The princess gritted her teeth, feeling a little aggrieved.

To her aunt, she didn't hide anything about the hand stove, but she didn't mention the fact that she ate something that shouldn't be eaten at the banquet, so as not to sound like a complaint.

She tossed and turned last night, and finally remembered that the condition on her face was very similar to the effect of the medicine in the hand stove.

"I asked Mammy to look in the carriage, and the hand stove has been placed in the corner..."

She would rather she hadn't figured it out!
Now that she came back to her senses, didn't she shoot herself in the foot with a rock?

The empress was speechless for a while, and began to doubt the IQ of her niece.

Then she suddenly asked again: "Then... that Cheng Liangdi is still alright?"

The Crown Princess was only slightly puzzled for a moment: "What does your empress mean?"

The empress hated iron for being weak: "Are you planning to suffer this crime for nothing?"

"Since you've already been poisoned, why not just get rid of that woman."

The guard on her little finger gave off a cold light: "Is this a trivial matter, do you still need me to mention it?"

The princess bowed respectfully: "Thank you, aunt, for your concern. In fact, Yun Shu has already arranged for someone..."

The aunt and nephew looked at each other and smiled, with similar calculations in their eyes.

On the other side, the prince was also left alone by the emperor to play chess.

"I heard that you recently snubbed the princess?"

He actually didn't want to say this for the queen.

The candidate for the crown princess was chosen by the queen, and she was the daughter of her natal Zheng family.

He was not very optimistic about this daughter-in-law from the very beginning.

The daughters of the old Zheng's family have the same looks, they are lackluster and rather dull.

So when you ask for a marriage, you keep talking about "virtuousness".

Yesterday he saw that the crown princess had something on her face, and that appearance was even more tragic in the world.

In fact, he also felt that the princess concubine who forced the prince to sleep was simply unreasonable, arbitrary and brutal, which did not conform to his image as a Mingjun.

But as a prince, and even a prince, there are some things that he can't help himself.

The emperor smiled warmly and spoke softly——

"The Zheng family has been in charge of the household department for a long time. As a prince, you should understand the significance of financial power to the future heir."

When it comes to business, the emperor has the majesty of the king of a country.

"Your backyard isn't just a collection of beauties."

"The Ministry of Households represented by the Zheng family, the Ministry of War represented by the Sun family, and the Ministry of Punishment represented by the Zhang family, it all depends on how you weigh them."

Xiao Yunzhi restrained his expression, and said respectfully: "Thank you father for your reminder, I understand."

Although the emperor usually looks out of tune, counting decades ago, he also stood out from the bloody battle for the crown prince with his real skills.
