Chapter 91 The hero and heroine really meet for the first time

Qiao Jiaojiao thought about it carefully and felt that she must have remembered it correctly.

But the specific reason why Yu Zhaoyi was executed was not mentioned at all!

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Yu Zhaoyi, who is so fresh and beautiful, is still smiling happily and proudly at this moment. Who knows that her death has quietly come...

After taking a look around, Qiao Jiaojiao knew exactly who was present today.

[Tsk, tsk, you really are a monster in the palace! 】

Emperor Yong was making a speech, which was nothing more than praising the peace and prosperity of the country and the people, and then telling everyone not to be restrained.

Soon the singing and dancing started, and it was pretty fun, but it was like this every year, and everyone was tired of watching it.

Emperor Yong looked at it with little interest.

"Your Majesty, I have rehearsed a new dance during this period. Can you take advantage of today's Dragon Boat Festival to dance it for Your Majesty to see?"

A soft voice sounded slowly, and everyone followed the sound and saw Yu Zhaoyi slowly stood up, with a graceful figure and delicate and picturesque eyebrows.

Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and he was indeed interested.

"That's fine."

Concubine Jing was sitting aside, and when she saw Yu Zhaoyi's charming look, she pulled her handkerchief angrily.

However, when her eyes inadvertently fell on the third prince opposite, she suddenly felt discouraged.

Forget it, she has such a son, no matter what, she can't turn over.

The third prince's eyebrows were heavy, and when he saw Concubine Jing's eyes looking over at her, although he had long been accustomed to the disappointment and disgust in them, he still felt an unbearable pain in his heart.

His breathing quickened slightly, and he quickly clenched his hands secretly.

He couldn't make a fool of himself at such a moment, otherwise he would be ashamed of himself without even having to be disgusted by his mother and concubine.

"In that case, I'll go down and change my clothes first."

Exquisite dancing must have matching dance clothes. Now it seems that Yu Zhaoyi is indeed well prepared.

"Go ahead."

There was a hint of expectation in Emperor Yong's eyes, and his brows relaxed a little.

When the queen saw this scene, she was heartbroken.

Her relationship with the Holy Emperor has long been in name only. As long as the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are well, everything will be fine for her.

As for where the man's heart lies, she was hurt too deeply back then and now she no longer cares.

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes slightly and grinned when she saw that the queen was in a stable mood.

[That's right, doggy men are not worth taking seriously! The Queen is truly a role model for women in the world! 】

Yu Zhaoyi retreated quietly, leaving a gust of fragrant wind wherever she passed.

All the courtiers lowered their heads in tacit agreement, not daring to take another look.

In the side hall, as soon as Yu Zhaoyi walked in, a palace maid immediately came to greet her.

After the palace door closed, all the gentleness and gentleness on Yu Zhaoyi's face faded away. She grabbed the palace maid's wrist and asked quickly:

"How's it going? Did you catch it?"

The palace maid was Yu Zhaoyi's confidant, named Liu Lu.

"My dear, I caught you! I have already tied him up and sent him to a hidden place!"

Yu Zhaoyi's eyebrows relaxed, and she felt much more relaxed instantly.

"well."

Liu Lu frowned worriedly, "My Lady, you are in the prime of your life now. Isn't it too risky to do this?"

Yu Zhaoyi was a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what he thought of, and there was a faint trace of infatuation on his face.

"Liu Lu, it's worth taking the risk, otherwise I won't be willing to do it!"

When Liu Lu heard this, she didn't dare to persuade him any more.

"Your Majesty, please change your clothes first, we are waiting for you outside."

Yu Zhaoyi nodded happily after hearing this, "I have practiced hard for so long, and today I can finally dance for him."

The singing and dancing in the palace had stopped, and while waiting for Yu Zhaoyi to change clothes, Emperor Yong suddenly asked on a whim:

"Where is the Meng family's daughter?"

After everyone heard this, they all looked towards the long case at the back.

Shilang Meng was flattered, and Mrs. Meng's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly touched Meng Guxue.

Meng Guxue had already stood up respectfully, "Return to your Majesty, my servant Meng Guxue."

The second prince originally lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful and silent. When he suddenly heard the word "Gu Xue", he immediately raised his eyes and looked over.

The girl has an oval face, a fair face, and curved eyebrows. The most outstanding thing is her eyes, which look very smart.

With snow in her name and a familiar voice, this Meng Guxue must be the girl who holds the formula!

Thinking of this, a hint of interest appeared in the second prince's eyes.

Qiao Jiaojiao was always paying attention to the interaction between the male and female protagonists. When she saw the second prince looking over, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

[These two people don't look very familiar. According to the original progress, when these two people look at each other, their eyes should be drawn! 】

[It seems that the last poetry meeting prevented the two from falling in love, and it was very effective! 】

In fact, this was the first time that the second prince met Meng Guxue.

During Qiao Jiaojiao's full moon and the Lantern Festival, the second prince had a strong premonition that he was about to meet his destined person.

But after returning disappointed twice, this premonition never appeared again.

The second prince now met Meng Guxue for the first time. When he saw her standing there in the distance, his eyes were not surprised at all, but more calculating.

Because he knew in his heart that the three formulas mastered by Meng Guxue were extremely valuable. If used properly, all the wealth in the world would be rolled into his pocket!

When Emperor Yong saw that Meng Guxue was still young, he was a little surprised that she could compose such poems.

"I heard that you composed a poem at the Poetry Club last time. I read it carefully. It is indeed remarkable."

"Today, can you write a poem for this Dragon Boat Festival?"

When everyone heard Emperor Yong's roll call, they were all secretly glad that this problem had never fallen on them.

Meng Guxue was also very nervous, but in an instant, she was overjoyed!

Emperor Yong was simply putting the opportunity to become famous right in her mouth!

She has already said that she is the destined daughter of this world, and fate will always favor her!

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao secretly shook her head.

[Sending sub-questions is simply giving away sub-questions! Let me just say you can't underestimate the heroine. Just like the invincible Xiaoqiang, she stands up whenever she gets the chance! 】

Meng Guxue suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and said, "Return to the Holy Spirit, I am willing to give it a try."

Everyone stared at her after hearing this, which made Meng Guxue's self-confidence and vanity rapidly expand!

That's how it should be. She should have become the center of attention long ago. This day has been postponed for a long time, but fortunately she didn't wait in vain!

The next moment, Meng Guxue opened her mouth and stole another poem.

"The treasure book marks the spiritual day, which is bright and far away from noon. The five stars are fire virtues, and the life span will last forever."

The voice fell sharply to the ground. Meng Guxue's eyes were bright and she felt very proud in her heart.

She remembered many poems about the Dragon Boat Festival. This one was not particularly relevant, but it had a good meaning and she even flattered Emperor Yong without hesitation!

Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

This daughter of the Meng family really has real abilities!

Emperor Yong was overjoyed and immediately waved his hand: "Reward!"

Meng Guxue felt indescribably proud, and she knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Just at this moment, a sound of silk and bamboo sounded outside the hall, followed by a graceful figure.

Chapter 92 Women are tools of superiority

Meng Guxue had just come out of the limelight, and before she had finished enjoying the admiration from everyone, Yu Zhaoyi walked over and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Meng Guxue secretly cursed: "A short-lived concubine is here to join in the fun!"

She had seen Yu Zhaoyi in her dream, at this palace banquet, but not long after, Yu Zhaoyi was executed.

At this time in the dream, her relationship with Shen Lang was already very good, and she also asked Shen Lang about the cause of Yu Zhaoyi's death.

Shen Lang looked calm at that time and just said, "Yu Zhaoyi was arrogant due to favor, lost her sense of proportion, and was sentenced to death by the emperor's father's order. I don't know the inside story."

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at the second prince.

Unexpectedly, this look would meet the eyes of the second prince!

Meng Guxue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a trace of blush appeared on her face.

She had had this stunning man in her dream. After waking up from the dream, her desire for the second prince reached its peak!

This man will be the final winner. Only by being with him can she become a person inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in this era!

Moreover, in the dream, he was very affectionate towards her, and they were so happy together. They were a couple that everyone admired!

Although there are many deviations between reality and dreams, today, the red thread of fate still brings them together!

Shen Lang must have been attracted by her talent and appearance, so he couldn't look away!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue looked at the second prince shyly, feeling extremely excited.

The second prince's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly nodded slightly towards Meng Guxue, and then looked away.

This small gesture gave Meng Guxue great encouragement and made her more confident in her plan.

However, in reality, the second prince had no worries at all.

He is very confident in his appearance, but he can easily win the favor of any woman he approaches intentionally.

The second prince once thought this method was clumsy and did not bother to do it.

But through isolation and cynicism, he suddenly understood.

In this cannibalistic palace, if you want to realize your ambitions and change your situation, you must use all means to increase your bargaining chips!

Women are nothing more than tools for his superiority.

As for Meng Guxue, although she is somewhat talented, she looks frivolous to Zhang Yang.

Moreover, just listening to her words across the wall, it can be seen that this woman is very ambitious and wants a lot.

Such a woman is the easiest to get close to and the easiest to exploit.

Yu Zhaoyi's dancing postures are graceful and gorgeous. Compared with the dignified and restrained movements of the dancers just now, her waist is soft, her movements are bold, and her dance is energetic and dazzling!

Emperor Yong became very interested, tapping his fingers on the long case and playing the rhythm.

The courtiers did not dare to look further. They only felt a light figure dancing in front of their eyes, and they buried their heads lower and lower.

Qiao Jiaojiao found it pleasant to watch.

[This Yu Zhaoyi really has two brushes, but I don't know which dance is better than the beauty dance of Empress Yu Liu? 】

The intensive drumbeats made people's hearts beat loudly. The third prince was so close that he soon felt his energy and blood surging, making him feel slightly dizzy.

The second princess was always paying attention to the third prince's condition, and when she saw his lips turned white, she became heartbroken.

The prince was very kind to his brothers and sisters. Knowing that the third prince was in poor health, he was particularly concerned.

At this moment, Yu Zhaoyi performed the dance, but he didn't even raise his eyes.

But he immediately noticed something strange about the third prince, so he lowered his voice and called, "Third brother?"

The third prince turned his head when he heard the sound, with a hint of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

His body was really useless and he couldn't hold on anymore.

The prince understood the situation, waved to the palace people behind him, and whispered: "Third brother, you go back and rest first. I will explain to my father later."

The third prince nodded gratefully upon hearing this and stood up with the help of the palace servants.

Emperor Yong noticed the movement here, glanced at the end of his eyes, and his good mood immediately disappeared.

This third child is useless. His existence is like a stain, which makes people upset when they see him.

Seeing this, Concubine Jing bit her lower lip tightly, the disappointment clearly showing on her face.

He just couldn't live up to his expectations and couldn't even sit down at a banquet!

The third prince did not dare to raise his head. He did not want to see his father's disgusted eyes, let alone the disappointed face of his mother and concubine, so he left in a hurry with the help of palace attendants.

The Queen Mother noticed this scene and her heart softened.

The third child has been frail and sick since he was a child. It is really difficult for him to come to the banquet today.

This child seemed to be a sensible person, but it was a pity that Concubine Jing couldn't figure it out. She always suppressed and disliked this child, thinking that it was because of him that she was rejected by the Holy Emperor.

No matter how poor the health of the third child is, he is still a prince. If he is raised carefully, he will definitely become a very promising child.

Forget it, if she, a queen, talks too much, Concubine Jing will still doubt her intentions.

After the third prince came out of Funing Palace, his heart suddenly relaxed and he felt that his body was a little weak.

The two little eunuchs beside him have served the third prince since they were young and are extremely loyal.

They looked worried, "Your Highness, can you still hold on?"

The third prince waved his hand weakly, "It's okay, help me go back."

Hearing this, the little eunuch took one side and held the third prince's arm.

"Your Highness, when we came, we followed the Holy Master through Xuandemen. Now if we want to return to Xinghua Palace, it is closer to go to Chunhua Garden."

The third prince's steps were frivolous and he nodded feebly, "Then let's go to Chunhua Garden."

There was no one in Chunhua Garden at this time, so if he lost his composure halfway, it would not be embarrassing.

Seeing that they had entered the garden, one of the young eunuchs immediately squatted in front of the third prince.

"Your Highness, there is no one here, let the slaves carry you back!"

The third prince did not refuse. He leaned down on the back of the young eunuch, with another person protecting him from behind, and took a shortcut all the way back to Xinghua Palace.

As we were walking to Yuhua Lake and approaching a hidden rockery, we suddenly heard a faint cry.

The little eunuch paused suddenly, looking confused.

The third prince motioned to the young eunuch to put him down, and listened attentively, and there was indeed a sound.

"Your Highness, please wait here while I go take a look."

The third prince nodded cautiously and said, "Be gentle."

The little eunuch respectfully accepted the order, his heart lifted slightly.

This is the trail back to Xinghua Palace. Normally no one should walk on it.

The little eunuch tiptoed around the rockery and suddenly let out a low cry.

The third prince suddenly frowned when he heard this. He also gained some strength along the way, so he walked in with the help of another young eunuch.

When they rounded the rockery, they saw that the little eunuch who was the first to explore the road was already there.

The third prince took a few steps forward. When he saw the scene inside the rockery clearly, he forgot to react.

I saw a girl with messy buns, dirty and wrinkled clothes, her mouth stuffed with strips of cloth, her hands and feet tied up, and thrown into the rocks of the rockery.

At this moment, she was looking at them with tears in her eyes, her face full of pleading and fear, and her mouth whining.

Chapter 93 Others think I'm dirty...

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, let's go quickly!"

The little eunuch came to his senses and hurriedly stood in front of the third prince, urging him eagerly.

There have been a lot of scandals in the palace. This girl is not sure which palace she belongs to, or whom she has offended, and is tied up here.

The third prince is already weak in the palace and his body is still weak, so he cannot get involved in any turmoil!

This little eunuch truly cares about the third prince.

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

Hearing this, the girl on the ground burst into tears. She couldn't speak and could only plead with all her strength.

The third prince looked over the young eunuch's shoulder and saw a strong desire to live on the girl's face.

He has also looked at others with such expressions.

Thinking of this, the third prince motioned to the young eunuch in front of him to go away.

The little eunuch was very anxious, "Your Highness, you——"

"Fu'an, get out of the way."

Although the third prince's voice was weak, his tone was firm.

The little eunuch was slightly shaken, but finally gave way obediently.

The third prince walked up to the girl, squatted down, and asked warmly:

"Are you a young lady from the Sheng family?"

The girl on the ground nodded repeatedly and let out a burst of sobs.

That's right, the girl tied here is none other than Sheng Xiuran!

When the third prince saw this, he showed a true expression.

There were either concubines or maids in the harem, but the girl in front of her was gorgeously dressed, very young, and looked strange.

The third prince's thoughts changed slightly. During this period, the only newcomer in the palace was the second prince's concubine and the young lady of the Sheng family.

"I'm going to take the strip off your mouth now, but you can't scream loudly, okay?"

The third prince's face turned pale and his voice was a little weak.

Sheng Xiuran nodded quickly. She also guessed that someone who could be called His Highness, but was so weak, could only be the third prince who was not born well.

The third prince raised his hand and took out the strip of cloth from Sheng Xiuran's mouth. The two young eunuchs immediately came forward and untied the ropes from Sheng Xiuran's hands and feet.

Sheng Xiuran got free and hurriedly sat up. She hugged her body tightly and looked very frightened.

The third prince asked warmly: "Who tied you here?"

Sheng Xiuran couldn't stop crying. She shook her head with fear on her face: "I don't know, I was in Chonghua Palace. A maid came to send a message saying that His Highness called me, so I went out without any precautions."

"Unexpectedly, a cloth bag dropped down from my head. The back of my head hurt suddenly, and I fainted. When I woke up, I was already tied here."

The third prince frowned when he heard this. He thought for a while and whispered: "I will send someone to take you back to Chonghua Palace first."

When she heard that she had returned to Chonghua Palace, Sheng Xiuran trembled all over and grabbed the third prince's sleeve regardless.

"No! Your Highness, I don't want to go back to Chonghua Palace. Can you take me away or send me out of the palace! I don't want to go back!"

The panic and fear on Sheng Xiuran's face was so real that the third prince was slightly stunned.

Didn't it mean that the second brother admired Miss Sheng very much and asked for grace in front of his father before accepting her as his concubine?

Why does it look like that's not the case...

"Third Highness, I beg you, I can act like a cow or a horse for you, don't send me back! Since the person who kidnapped me can catch me once, he will definitely catch me a second time!"

When the third prince saw Sheng Xiuran clutching his sleeve tightly, he felt a headache for a moment.

This was something he didn't expect.

Seeing that the third prince remained unmoved, Sheng Xiuran bit her lower lip suddenly and suddenly lowered her voice and said:

"Your Highness, I know a huge secret. I swear, it is of great importance, and you must want to know it too."

"Take me away. As long as I can leave the palace safely, I will tell you the secret!"

Sheng Xiuran really had no choice. She had seen the second prince's ruthlessness and it was absolutely impossible for her to go back.

She also knew that telling the third prince this secret was not a good idea, but this was her only bargaining chip, and she could only take the risk!

The third prince didn't show much interest when he heard this.

He has nothing to fight for in this palace, and he doesn't know how long he can live. Any secrets are not attractive to him.

Sheng Xiuran gritted her teeth when she saw this, and finally said seriously: "This secret is related to the throne!"

When the two young eunuchs beside him heard this, they suddenly covered their mouths.

This lady from the Sheng family is not afraid of the wind and flashes her tongue. Can she tell such a big lie casually?

"Your Highness, please believe me. I am also trying to survive. If you find out in the end that I lied to you, you can take my life at any time!"

Sheng Xiuran raised her head and begged the third prince with a face full of sorrow, and her tears fell down like beads.

This is her last life-saving straw!

The third prince looked at Sheng Xiuran, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he turned to the young eunuch and said, "Fu'an, I can't move any further. Ask a reliable person to go back and bring the soft sedan up. The sooner the better."

Fu'an was horrified when he heard this. His Highness really wanted to take away Miss Sheng's family?

"Your Highness, this-"

"Go quickly!"

The third prince's tone was serious and he couldn't help coughing heavily.

Fu'an looked horrified when he saw this, "Yes, yes, your highness, please don't be angry, I will go now!"

Fu'an bent his back and ran out in a hurry.

When Sheng Xiuran heard this, she trembled all over and cried: "Your Highness, thank you! Thank you!"

The banquet was going to last for a long time, and there were few people here. The third prince sat and waited quietly with Sheng Xiuran for a while, and then Fu'an's voice came over.

"Okay, stop here and turn your backs."

When the third prince heard the sound, he knew that the sedan was coming. He turned to Sheng Xiuran and said, "Miss Sheng, I will have to share the ride with you, Miss Sheng."

Sheng Xiuran hurriedly shook her head. Her originally bright face had already been stained by dust and tears. At this time, she was still clutching the third prince's sleeve tightly, not daring to let go.

"Xiuran is the daughter of the guilty minister. Your Highness is of high status and is among the best among men. It is Your Highness who has been wronged."

"Among men?"

The third prince repeated this sentence mockingly, and then smiled dumbly.

"Miss Sheng, let's go."

Sheng Xiuran followed closely behind the third prince. When they walked out of the rockery, everyone had already turned their backs and stood far away.

She carefully followed the third prince into the soft sedan, only to realize that the space inside was so narrow that it was impossible to turn around.

Sheng Xiuran's face turned red. After the danger was temporarily relieved, she remembered the defense between men and women.

The third prince was also slightly startled. He had not considered this aspect just now, but now...

"That's all, it's just a temporary measure. Miss Sheng, let's squeeze in together."

The third prince said, giving up half of his body.

It was so stuffy in the sedan that Sheng Xiuran's face was so red that she could almost bleed. She carefully sat down on the lower half of the sedan chair and firmly supported the sedan wall with one hand.

Their sleeves rubbed against each other, and half of their bodies were pressed together.

After a long while, Sheng Xiuran said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I am still intact. I have no other meaning in saying this. I just hope you don't think I'm dirty..."

The once proud and arrogant daughter of the Sheng family suffered a big change and almost died. After losing all her relatives and having to survive, her edges were finally smoothed out.

After saying this, her eyes were slightly sore and she almost shed tears.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the soft sedan was lifted up, and the third prince's low voice suddenly sounded:

"Others think I'm dirty..."

Chapter 94 The Fourth Prince's Birthday Ceremony

There was singing and dancing in Funing Hall.

Yu Zhaoyi's dance was passionate and unrestrained, which made people's hearts rise and fall. Emperor Yong looked at it, but he was distracted.

She also danced like this by the Yuhua Lake across the garden from Funing Hall.

But her dance is graceful and graceful, which makes people addicted to it just by looking at it.

No matter how many people look like her in the world, no one can be as charming as her.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong suddenly felt that the dance in front of him was boring.

Yu Zhaoyi's eyes looked around as her body rotated. She was still dancing well, but she suddenly saw something and her body tilted slightly, almost breaking her movements.

When Liu Lu, who was waiting outside the hall, saw this scene, her heart almost jumped out of her throat!

Thanks to Yu Zhaoyi's solid dancing skills and her timely make-up of moves, she didn't make a fool of herself on such an important occasion.

After the dance, Yu Zhaoyi expressed her gratitude.

Emperor Yong lost his initial interest. He just raised his lips, praised him a few times, and rewarded him with something casually.

Yu Zhaoyi's face was filled with gratitude, but when she returned to the side hall to change clothes, her eyes were red.

While Liu Lu was waiting for Yu Zhaoyi to change her clothes, she said distressedly, "My queen, please don't let your makeup fall into tears."

Yu Zhaoyi's heart was full of grievances, "I have been rehearsing for a long time for today's palace banquet, and even several pairs of shoes have been worn out."

"But Liu Lu, am I not beautiful enough? Am I not a good dancer? Otherwise, why would he see someone else in his eyes and heart!"

Liu Lu pressed the tears from the corners of Yu Zhaoyi's eyes distressedly and said warmly:

"Our queen is like a fairy. Who wouldn't be happy to see her? It's just that it's inconvenient to have so many pairs of eyes looking at her at today's palace banquet."

Liu Lu's words finally comforted Yu Zhaoyi. She thought about it carefully, and then she burst into laughter.

"Liu Lu is right. Have you made an appointment?"

Liu Lu nodded, "Ms. Don't worry, we've made an appointment. I'm very serious about what I said. I think it will be taken seriously."

Hearing this, Yu Zhaoyi's face was filled with anticipation, "Good Liu Lu, you treat me best. I've been waiting for this day for too long."

When Yu Zhaoyi returned to the palace banquet, she looked charming again.

It was already lunch time, and the food was being served like water, and the palace servants were waiting to pour wine and serve dishes at any time.

Liu Yun had been standing behind the second prince. At this time, the little eunuch passing the dishes handed a bowl and plate to Liu Yun's hand and took the opportunity to whisper something.

Liuyun's expression suddenly changed, and after he came to his senses, he quickly pretended to be nonchalant.

She bowed and walked forward, and while serving the dishes to the second prince, she whispered something.

There were people drinking wine all around, and the third prince who was closest had left the table early. Otherwise, Liu Yun would not have dared to take the risk of sending a message at this moment.

The second prince didn't know what he heard. His eyelids suddenly opened, but they quickly closed again.

His face was solemn, with a hint of coldness, and then he nodded gently.

Qiao Jiaojiao has been returned to Mrs. Qiao's arms. She is not allowed to prepare food for the palace banquet. Mrs. Qiao can only choose some soft and bland food to feed Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao ate with gusto. She was not picky about food, and it turned out that the food at the palace banquet was quite delicious!

But while she was eating, her big eyes were not honest and kept turning around.

This time, she just happened to see the second prince's maid and the little eunuch delivering the dishes, muttering and sneaking around and not knowing what they were talking about.

Qiao Jiaojiao thought slightly. Although she didn't know who killed the fourth prince, it was right to pay attention to the male protagonist!

In the original work, the plot of the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet was mainly to gild the heroine Meng Guxue, allowing her to steal the spotlight and smoothly enter the royal family's field of vision.

As for other twists and turns, I didn't mention it at all!

At least from Meng Guxue's perspective, the Dragon Boat Festival banquet went extremely smoothly, but at the end of the palace banquet, the bad news came that the fourth prince had drowned...

[The male protagonist is indeed a bit tricky! Although I don't know if he has anything to do with Si Baitian's death, it's always right to catch him and bite him! 】

When the Qiao family heard this, they all secretly became concerned.

Today is also the birthday of the fourth prince. Emperor Yong didn't care, but Huang Pei was thoughtful and prepared a gift for Emperor Yong early.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Eunuch Huang quietly reminded Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong had just been aroused by Yu Zhaoyi's dance. At this time, he just wanted to go back to the imperial study to talk to Yu Liu as soon as possible, so he said perfunctorily:

"Xiaosi, today is also your birthday. My father hopes that you will think carefully and act diligently in the future, achieve perfection, be diligent and diligent, and be a good and motivated child."

The fourth prince couldn't help being flattered when he heard this.

He immediately stood up from behind the case, walked to Emperor Yong, and bowed uprightly.

"My child dare not forget my father's teachings. Thank you very much, father!"

The five-year-old child knelt there respectfully. Even though he was sad and disappointed, he still couldn't suppress the admiration and admiration for his father in his heart.

Qiao Jiaojiao sighed secretly when she saw this.

[If Emperor Yong knew that this was the last time he would talk to Sha Baitian, would he still be so businesslike and emotionless? 】

Eunuch Huang came forward respectfully, handed a square brocade box to the fourth prince, and said with a smile:

"Your Royal Highness, this is the birthday gift prepared by the Holy Spirit for you."

When the fourth prince heard this, even though he had tried his best to act dignified and decent, he couldn't help but smile sweetly.

"Thank you, Father!"

The queen looked at the fourth prince sitting down with her heart feeling soft and sour.

This child is actually precocious. He must know everything, but he still has expectations for the Holy One.

"One gift for every year, little four. This is a gift from my mother. I hope that little four will be happy, safe, brave and healthy in the future."

Mother's blessings are always gentle and tolerant. She does not ask her children to be rich or successful, but she only wants the word "safe".

The fourth prince's face turned slightly red. The queen mother treated him like a child when she said this!

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

The prince walked forward and hung a piece of jade on the fourth prince's girdle with his own hands.

His eyebrows were gentle, and his face was full of doting.

Xiaosi is the pistachio of him and his mother, the most precious treasure in the world.

"Brother hopes that Xiao Si will become a good man who will stand upright and upright as soon as possible!"

The prince knew that this was Xiaosi's wish.

But in his heart as an older brother, he hoped that he could protect Xiaosi forever and make him worry-free for the rest of his life.

The fourth prince looked at the jade pendant around his waist and recognized that it was the jade pendant his brother often wore. It was his favorite jade pendant!

Thinking of this, the fourth prince felt happy. If it weren't for being in front of others, he could not wait to throw himself into the prince's arms.

"Xiaosi, thank you, Brother Prince!"

Next, the second prince and two young masters presented gifts, and the courtiers said a lot of beautiful words.

By this time, lunch was also used up.

After Emperor Yong finished his concluding remarks, he left with the palace people in a grand manner just as he had come.

The queen stayed behind to chat with the ladies.

At this time, the fourth prince happily came to Qiao Jiaojiao.

Chapter 95 Prepared a gift for Sister Qiao

"Sister Qiao!"

After Emperor Yong left, everyone felt much more relaxed. Even the fourth prince became lively, with a happy smile on his face.

Qiao Jiaojiao was sitting on the cushions. When she saw the fourth prince squatting down to talk to him, she gave him a rare smile.

[Seeing that your life is in danger at any time, let me give you a good look. 】

Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but twist her lips and smile after hearing this.

Jiaojiao sometimes talks about strategies in a clear and logical manner, like a little adult. As expected, she still needs to be with children to be more childlike.

The fourth prince gently poked Qiao Jiaojiao's little face, and suddenly looked at Mrs. Qiao expectantly.

"Mrs. Qiao, the prince brother said that I can hug my sister after my Dragon Boat Festival birthday. Can I try now?"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately shook her head like a rattle.

[No, no, last time I was in the study, I was not strangled to death by Di Zaiying, but almost strangled to death by you! 】

Mrs. Qiao didn't dare to joke about Jiaojiao's safety, so she smiled and said:

"Your Highness, boys must grow taller before they have strength. I think that by the time you are seven or eight years old, you will be able to pick up Jiaojiao easily, right?"

The fourth prince frowned in disappointment when he heard this, but in an instant he smiled again.

"Mrs. Qiao is sister Qiao's mother. Mrs. Qiao's words are always correct. Then I will wait a little longer. I think I will have a lot of strength at the age of six!"

When Mrs. Qiao heard the Fourth Prince's childlike words, she couldn't help but feel happy for this lovely Fourth Prince.

No wonder the Queen and His Royal Highness both doted on the fourth prince. This child was indeed lovable.

The fourth prince took Qiao Jiaojiao's hand, his eyes sparkling, "Sister Qiao, I have prepared a gift for you!"

Qiao Jiaojiao looked confused.

[Why are you preparing a gift for me on your birthday? 】

After the fourth prince finished speaking, he felt a little shy again.

"When you were one month old, I didn't think carefully enough and didn't bring you a separate gift. After much thought, I decided to give you a gift today!"

"I will not miss every birthday of Sister Qiao from now on. I will give gifts to Sister Qiao every year until..."

At this point, the fourth prince's face turned slightly red and he refused to say any more.

What he was thinking was: until sister Qiao becomes his princess!

In this way, everything he owns belongs to Sister Qiao, so there is no question of whether to give it away or not!

The fourth prince stood up happily and said, "Sister Qiao, wait for me! I have placed the gift in the side hall in advance. I will get it and give it to you right now!"

After the fourth prince finished speaking, he ran out with small steps.

Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment.

[This...this silly Baitian is quite attentive. 】

[Wait a minute, we can't let Shabaitian out of sight! Where is the eldest brother? Where is the second brother? 】

Qiao Jiaojiao turned around and saw that Qiao Tianjing had been taken away by his colleagues. Only Qiao Diyi was still sitting there obediently, with an honest look on his face.

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly babbling at Qiao Diyi and stretched out her hand.

"Brother, brother..."

[Second brother is just right! The second brother is good at martial arts and can go anywhere easily! Second brother, come and hug me, let's catch up with Silly Baitian! 】

When Qiao Diyi heard Qiao Jiaojiao calling him, he quickly went over and hugged her.

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately arched her way out of the hall.

"Okay, okay, little sister, be careful. Second brother will take you out for a walk."

Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing had been paying attention here. When they saw this, they quickly gave Qiao Diyi a wink.

Qiao Diyi nodded cautiously and strode out of Funing Hall with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.

At this time, everyone was standing together looking for their acquaintances. Even Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing handed over handkerchiefs before entering the palace.

Yu Zhaoyi sat quietly in her position for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked out.

After she left Funing Hall, many people in the hall had expressions of contempt on their faces.

Concubine Jing was particularly disgusted with Yu Zhaoyi's coquettish demeanor, and would complain to her handkerchief every chance she got.

"Look at her foxy look! It's just because she looks a bit similar and gets some favors. Her eyes are all the way up to her head all day long."

"I asked someone about her, and it turned out that she was also a dancer. She was very lowly. She just happened to be seen by the Holy One and sent in."

"Look at the dance she just danced, it was really off the charts!"

Concubine Jing lost her favor, and now she seems to be old and wan, so she feels very unbalanced.

The second princess was accompanying Concubine Jing. When she heard this, she couldn't help but frown.

Nowadays, Yu Zhaoyi is favored after all, and what the mother-in-law said is really inappropriate. If someone spreads it to the father's ears, she will definitely be reprimanded.

Thinking of this, she quickly hugged Concubine Jing's arm and said coquettishly: "Concubine, my daughter's birthday is coming soon. Have you thought about any gifts for your daughter?"

This sentence indeed diverted Concubine Jing's attention, and the second princess was slightly relieved upon seeing this.

However, this sentence also brought back her sadness. She and her brother were twins, dragon and phoenix, but her brother...

Alas, I don't know how my brother is doing. His face just looked bad...

On the other side, Qiao Diyi hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and chased him to the entrance of the side hall.

The fourth prince went in by himself, and even the personal eunuch specially arranged for him by the prince was sent away, looking mysterious.

Qiao Diyi was about to knock on the palace door when a scolding voice suddenly came from behind him: "Who is sneaking around here!"

Qiao Diyi turned around and saw that the people coming were Yu Zhaoyi and the maid beside her.

He hurriedly lowered his head and stepped aside in time. It was a serious crime for a foreign man to offend the concubine!

"I have no intention of offending Empress Zhaoyi, Erlang of the Qiao family."

Yu Zhaoyi snorted and entered the side hall impatiently, not even giving Qiao Diyi a chance to speak.

Seeing the palace door slamming shut again, Qiao Jiaojiao was dumbfounded.

[They also said that my second brother is sneaky, and her Zhaoyi looks so hurried, which makes it even more weird, okay! 】

[What gift did Silly Baitian bring? She didn't come out for a long time! Logically speaking, it was time for him to meet Yu Zhaoyi inside! 】

Seeing Qiao Jiaojiao being so worried, Qiao Diyi suddenly had an idea in his mind, wondering if there was a back door to this side hall?

According to the younger sister, the fourth prince drowned in the lake. It would be dangerous if the side hall had a back door leading directly to Chunhua Garden!

Thinking of this, Qiao Diyi hurriedly walked around the side hall, and was soon blocked by a wall.

He looked around and suddenly muttered: "I'll climb over the wall quietly. It shouldn't be a problem if no one sees me, right?"

Qiao Jiaojiao instantly understood what Qiao Diyi meant and nodded quickly.

[Second brother, you are so smart, turn over quickly! It would be terrible if there is a backdoor! 】

Qiao Diyi was a skilled martial artist. Seeing no one around, he jumped over. Qiao Jiaojiao closed her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.

After landing, there was a small bamboo forest.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked up and saw a lake not far away!

Chapter 96 Tracking and Tracking

【Oh my God! As expected, the back door of the side hall leads directly to Chunhua Garden! This should be Yuhua Lake! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao knew that many ladies and ladies attending palace banquets like to gather by Chunshui Lake. There is no one here, so it must be Yuhua Lake.

Qiao Diyi quickly glanced into the lake, fearing that the fourth prince's little body was already floating above.

Fortunately, the lake was calm and there was nothing there.

So, the fourth prince is still in the side hall?

I didn't hear any movement from the front, so Yu Zhaoyi was also in the side hall at this time?

What are they doing inside?

Not only Qiao Diyi was confused, but Qiao Jiaojiao was also confused.

It is true that there were too few scenes for Yu Zhaoyi in the original work, and her death was unclear, so Qiao Jiaojiao could only figure it out on her own.

In the side hall, the fourth prince was nestled in a small cabinet, holding a brocade box in his arms, his face full of shock.

And Yu Zhaoyi was changing clothes with Liu Lu's help.

Liu Lu's worried voice was still nagging: "My Lady, you are now in a state of divine favor. After much thought, I still feel that you are taking too many risks."

"If you want to know something, my dear wife, I can ask it on your behalf!"

While Yu Zhaoyi was changing her clothes, a sarcastic look appeared on her charming face.

"Holy favor is strong? Liu Lu, it's okay for others to say such things. Don't you still know my situation?"

"He lay on me all day long calling other people's names, and I almost vomited to death!"

"Does he still think I care so little about his favor? A dog man who never forgets the dead, I -"

"Oh my God, please stop talking!"

When Liu Lu heard this, her face turned pale with fright.

She knew that her master had a background as a dancer, was a little informal, and acted carelessly, but such bold remarks were not enough to kill the nine tribes!

When the fourth prince heard this, he was so shocked that his eyes widened and his heart was beating fast!

He had just taken the gift for Jiaojiao and was about to leave, but Yu Zhaoyi burst in and said:

"Liu Lu, give me the palace maid uniform you prepared!"

The fourth prince was startled when he heard this. Why did Yu Zhaoyi change into the maid's clothes?

As a result, while he was in a daze, Yu Zhaoyi had already started to take off his clothes. He could only hide in the cupboard and wait for Yu Zhaoyi to finish changing before leaving.

Who knew that he would hear such rebellious remarks!

"Good Liu Lu, don't be afraid. I won't say anything else. Let's move faster and don't keep Shen Lang waiting."

Shen Lang! ?

The fourth prince opened his mouth slightly.

The Shen Lang that Yu Zhaoyi said was definitely not the father. The prince's brother kept himself clean and would not be involved with the palace concubine.

The third brother was feeling unwell and left the party early, but it could not be ruled out that it was him.

The other one is...the second brother!

Liu Lu sighed secretly, knowing that she could not stop Yu Zhaoyi.

"Your Majesty, just do it. You saved this slave's life with your kindness. Now you will do whatever it takes to help your Majesty get what you want!"

After Yu Zhaoyi was fully dressed, she couldn't help but feel moved when she heard these words.

"Good Liu Lu, apart from Mr. Shen, you are the only one who treats me best in this deep palace. If I can leave the palace, I will definitely take you away!"

Liu Lu didn't dare to expect anything after hearing this, but she still smiled and said, "Thank you for your grace."

Yu Zhaoyi turned around and asked, "How is it? Does it look like it?"

Liu Lu nodded, "As long as you don't show your face, there won't be any flaws."

Yu Zhaoyi felt relieved and pulled Liu Lu toward the back door.

"Liu Lu, please lead the way quickly. That person has been tied up for so long. It's best not to let her cause any trouble."

Liu Lu comforted Yu Zhaoyi, "The queen is at ease. I ordered someone to dump her in a very secluded place. No one dares to go to Yuhua Lake, so it won't be a problem."

Squeak——

The door to the apse was opened, and the voices gradually became distant.

The fourth prince suddenly got out of the cabinet, his face turned pale.

Someone actually dared to have an affair with the palace concubine!

If...if that person was the second brother, did he expose this matter and the status of the crown prince brother would no longer be threatened?

In fact, children's minds and senses are the most sensitive.

The fourth prince had always felt that Emperor Yong treated the second prince in the most special way, and looked at him with the gentlest eyes.

My father has never looked at his second brother with the same eyes as him and the prince brother...

The fourth prince knew that he was single and weak, so he originally wanted to go to the prince first.

But when he quietly opened the apse door a crack and found that Yu Zhaoyi and the palace maid had gone further and further away, he realized that time was running out.

If he goes to see the prince brother now, he will definitely not be able to catch up with Yu Zhaoyi and the Shen Lang she talks about.

He didn't want the prince's brother to be suppressed by his second brother anymore.

The crown prince is the most outstanding prince. The only one who can inherit the throne and bring well-being to the people of the world is the crown prince!

Thinking of this, the fourth prince pinched the jade pendant around his waist and felt infinite courage in his heart.

As long as everyone gets the stolen goods, he will make a big fuss, and Yu Zhaoyi and Shen Lang in her mouth must be punished!

Thinking of this, the fourth prince touched the gift in his arms and thought to himself:

"Sister Qiao, just wait for me. When I finish helping the prince brother, I will give you a gift!"

Thinking of this, the fourth prince put the gift aside with great care, then opened the back hall door and chased him out.

Qiao Jiaojiao and Qiao Diyi have already seen the sneaky Yu Zhaoyi.

Qiao Jiaojiao was debating whether to follow Yu Zhaoyi or go into the side hall to find Sha Baitian. But before she could come to a conclusion, she saw Sha Baitian sneaking out and chasing her out.

He used the bushes, rockeries and stone pillars to hide and hide along the way. From the looks of it, he actually followed Yu Zhaoyi in a decent manner.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this scene, she suddenly felt blessed.

[Could it be that Sha Baitian met with misfortune because she followed Yu Zhaoyi? 】

[There really is something about Yu Zhaoyi! I'm afraid the cause of her death is not simple! 】

Qiao Diyi didn't need Qiao Jiaojiao's reminder and followed him quietly.

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded immediately when she saw this.

[Yes, the second brother will follow quietly without showing up, so that the murderer of Sha Baitian can be found out! Let's have a mantis stalk a cicada, with the oriole behind! 】

Three waves of people were rushing in the same direction. On the other side of Chunhua Garden, Meng Guxue stood at the arch entrance of Yuhua Lake, squeezing her hands nervously.

After the palace banquet just now, she originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Shen Lang, but as soon as Emperor Yong left, Shen Lang also left in a hurry, leaving her with a good meal!

She thought about it, and during the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet in her dream, Shen Lang once took her to the Yuhua Lake to see the statue of the Yuliu Empress.

In reality, although the two of them have not yet crossed paths, Shen Lang will definitely go to see the statue.

If I go to Yuhua Lake in advance to wait for him, wouldn't it be possible to have a peaceful and detailed talk with him while there is no one around?

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue no longer hesitated and hurriedly walked through the arch and walked inside.

Chapter 97 Your circle is so chaotic

(ps: For the next big plot, please keep in mind, dear, the fourth prince is only five years old. All choices a person makes are based on his own views and experiences. He is still young and will grow up. He will not do anything bad, dear. Don't criticize him from God's perspective, I will be sad)

The second prince was very upset now.

Because at the palace banquet just now, Liu Yun said that the man wanted to see him.

In order to force herself to see her, she even used his token to kidnap Sheng Xiuran from Chonghua Palace!

He suffered some losses due to Sheng Mingcheng's lawsuit a few days ago. If it weren't for the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, he would still be grounded at this time.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't bear it at this time and actually made some small moves behind her back.

The second prince personally returned to Chonghua Palace, and sure enough, Sheng Xiuran was no longer in the side hall, but a note was left on the table, marking a location in Chunhua Garden.

The second prince looked sinister and slowly crumpled the note in his hand into a ball.

He had long expected that betting on women would have backlash sooner or later, so he had arranged the escape route and ending they deserved.

I just didn't expect that she would be so impatient that she would overreach her ability to ruin his plan.

She is indeed a folk dancer, she doesn't know what the rules are!

Liu Yun stood respectfully beside the second prince and said with a worried look on his face: "Your Highness, what should we do now? I will send her away on your behalf!"

The second prince slowly shook his head, "She has made such thorough preparations and will not give up until she sees me."

The worry on Liuyun's face deepened when he heard this, "I'm afraid that she will do something stupid and affect your great cause, Your Highness. After all, she is now a palace concubine and is quite favored."

The second prince squeezed the paper ball in his palm, looked calm, and suddenly asked: "Has all the messages she sent during this period been sorted out?"

Liuyun nodded cautiously, "Everything is sorted. I have completely figured out that person's nighttime routine and habits."

The second prince nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said in a calm tone: "In this case, she is of no use. Liu Yun, please bring me the medicine."

Liuyun trembled slightly when he heard this, and for a moment he couldn't tell what he was feeling.

That man actually dared to miss His Highness, and even deliberately planned to kidnap Sheng Xiuran and force His Highness to do so. He deserved to die.

But His Highness was so decisive in killing him, which made her feel a little scared.

Liu Yun did not dare to show any abnormality, so he went out to get the medicine obediently. When he came back, he handed the second prince a small porcelain bottle.

"Your Highness, the medicine has been brought."

The second prince's eyes were clear and cold, and when they fell on Liuyun's head, he seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

"Liu Yun, you are different, don't think too much."

After the second prince finished speaking, he strode out without any entourage.

Liu Yun froze on the spot for a moment, her heart beating violently. Her face felt hot as she recalled what the second prince had just said.

She knew that she shouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts, as long as she could stay by His Highness's side, that was enough...

The second prince walked from Chonghua Palace to Chunhua Garden, first around Chunshui Lake, and then came to the arch.

He rubbed the small porcelain bottle in his sleeve and took a breath.

The next moment, he followed the position marked on the paper and walked quickly inside.

Meng Guxue was sitting on the steps not far from the statue of Empress Yu Liu, holding her chin and waiting.

There is shade here, which makes it cooler.

Although the weather in May is not hot yet, the sun is already scorching people.

Meng Guxue was bored and could only repeat the opening remarks she had arranged over and over again, preparing to take down the second prince in one fell swoop!

She was cheering herself up with confidence when she looked up and suddenly saw a figure passing around the corner.

She didn't see it clearly for a moment, but she recognized the color. The second prince was wearing azure today, that's right!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue suddenly stood up.

Sure enough, she waited!

Unfortunately, the position she was sitting in was not very good. The shade of trees and statues might have blocked her figure, so the second prince did not notice her.

But it doesn't matter, wouldn't it be nice if she catches up? This Chunhua Garden is so big, are you worried that you won't be able to have a "chance encounter"?

Meng Guxue lifted up her skirt and ran expectantly in the direction where the second prince disappeared.

————

Qiao Diyi hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and followed the fourth prince all the way to the depths of Yuhua Lake.

The fourth prince was also quite capable. He hid here and there with his small body, but didn't make a sound.

Yu Zhaoyi and Liu Lu were guilty of being thieves, so they hurriedly hurried along and didn't realize that the fourth prince was following them.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw the fourth prince working so hard.

[This silly Baitian didn't know what she heard in the side hall, so she followed him with all her strength. 】

[He didn't know, he followed him to the Hall of the King of Hell. 】

Qiao Diyi: "..."

I never realized before that my little sister is also good at sarcastic remarks.

What a loss to say...

After walking around for a long time, the fourth prince suddenly arrived behind a rockery.

It was covered by green bushes, and he was wearing dark clothes. He squatted down inside and couldn't find it without reaching out to explore.

Qiao Diyi knew that he had arrived at his destination. He looked around and found a dense tree behind the rockery. He jumped up slightly. When he landed, the branch didn't even sway.

Qiao Jiaojiao was secretly speechless.

[Here I go, is this ancient Qinggong? Absolutely! 】

[Thankfully, it was my second brother who brought me here, but no one else would be able to do it so unknowingly! 】

Hearing this, Qiao Diyi couldn't help but feel a little proud.

That is!

He is born to practice martial arts, and his father has said that he will definitely be better than his master in the future!

From Qiao Jiaojiao's position, the rockery just blocked her body, but if she poked her head slightly, she could see the scene in the rockery through the gaps in the dense leaves.

[Wow, this voyeuristic angle is amazing! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao looked amazed. She had already seen Yu Zhaoyi and Liu Lu hiding in the rockery, but for some reason, the two of them looked a little panicked.

"Liu Lu, are you sure you remembered the place correctly? Where is Sheng Xiuran?"

Liu Lu had a look of fear on her face, "Your Majesty, I definitely remember correctly. I was the one who sent Sheng Xiuran here!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked. She didn't expect to hear Sheng Xiuran's name here!

[Wasn't Sheng Xiuran given by Emperor Yong to the second prince as his concubine? According to Yu Zhaoyi, she actually kidnapped Sheng Xiuran? As a result, Sheng Xiuran disappeared inexplicably again? 】

[Eh-wait! What was she doing to tie up Sheng Xiuran? Could it be... could it be that Yu Zhaoyi dressed like this to meet the second prince? So this Yu Zhaoyi belongs to the second prince? 】

[Wait, I think I understand! With the second prince's level of caution, he would definitely not take the risk of having a private meeting with the concubine in the palace. Could it be that Yu Zhaoyi kidnapped Sheng Xiuran in a trick to force the second prince to come to see her? 】

Qiao Jiaojiao felt that she had discovered the truth!

Qiao Diyi was already confused by what Qiao Jiaojiao said. He decided to be a tool and do whatever Qiao Jiaojiao said in his heart later!

Qiao Jiaojiao continued to speculate.

[This Yu Zhaoyi has such good intentions, could it be that she really likes the second prince? 】

[This is not impossible. After all, in ancient romances, the male protagonist was originally a heart-throb, and he was very handsome! 】

[However, wouldn't it be too exciting to play this kind of "little mom" literature? 】

[Moreover, the male protagonist looks like Princess Yuliu, and Yu Zhaoyi also looks like Princess Yuliu. Yu Zhaoyi still likes the male protagonist, don't you think you deserve to be panicked? 】

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, your circle is really chaotic——]

Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking wildly when an azure figure suddenly walked from the other direction.

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.

[The one Yu Zhaoyi made an appointment with is indeed the male protagonist! There's something good to watch! 】

Chapter 98 Oh my god, Shura Field!

Shen Yuanbai's eyebrows deepened, and he was very dissatisfied with Yu Zhaoyi's manipulation of him.

If such a disobedient chess piece is not dealt with as soon as possible, it may cause endless trouble in the future.

"Empress, what should I do now?"

Liu Lu was completely panicked. No one should come to this place. How did Sheng Xiuran escape?

After she escapes, what should she do if her kidnapping is revealed?

The only good thing now is that when she ordered people to kidnap Sheng Xiuran, she did not reveal her identity.

In this way, the matter must not involve the empress.

Yu Zhaoyi was also panicking, but as soon as she thought that Shen Lang was coming soon, she managed to calm down.

"Liu Lu, don't say anything later, just let me do it."

If Shen Lang knew that she had lost Sheng Xiuran, he might turn around and leave.

Sheng Xiuran's matter can still be remedied, but she wants to know Shen Lang's thoughts now!

God knows how jealous and broken she felt when the dog emperor told her with great interest that Shen Lang had become enlightened and that Shen Lang admired Miss Sheng's family and wanted to take her as his concubine!

That young lady from the Sheng family is already the daughter of a criminal, and her brother framed Shen Lang. Why does Shen Lang have a soft spot for her?

It was for him that I gave up everything outside and came to the palace to be a caged bird, acting as someone else's substitute and being pressed down by the dog emperor again and again to get everything he wanted!

She was unwilling to give in, she didn't want to endure it any longer.

For a clean and noble young man like Shen Lang, he doesn't have to love anyone, so she won't have any extravagant desires.

But he really fell in love with someone other than her, which she couldn't bear!

Moreover, in order to let him watch her dance openly, she practiced so hard, but when she performed the dance, Shen Lang actually nodded to a little girl sitting next to him!

She had just found out that the little girl was called Meng Guxue, and she was full of talents that a humble dancer like her could not compare to.

However, this is unfair. When Shen Lang wanted to take advantage of her, he didn't mind that she was a dancer!

The successive appearances of Sheng Xiuran and Meng Guxue broke Yu Zhaoyi's guard, and she was now jealous of them like crazy!

There were steady footsteps outside the rockery, and Yu Zhaoyi quickly suppressed the distorted look on her face, revealing the sweetest smile.

The second prince walked into the rockery, looked around, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"Where's Sheng Xiuran?"

When Yu Zhaoyi heard the second prince ask Sheng Xiuran, she trembled slightly and her pretty face turned pale.

In the bushes beside the rockery, when the fourth prince heard this extremely familiar voice, he immediately covered his mouth tightly with a look of horror on his face!

Second brother!

It's really the second brother's voice!

It was indeed the second brother who had a secret meeting with Yu Zhaoyi!

Qiao Jiaojiao was listening with a serious look on her face, when suddenly she caught sight of a sneaky figure at the end of her eyes, and she was so shocked that she almost made a sound!

【Ah ah ah! Meng Guxue! The one with the cat's waist is Meng Guxue, right? 】

[Oh my god, what kind of Shura field is this? Meng Guxue is also following the second prince! 】

[This second prince relies on women everywhere, and today it's time for him to feel what it feels like to be bitten back by a woman! 】

[Meng Guxue, please be more angry and hide it more tightly. I'll let you see the hero's true face later! 】

Meng Guxue hid behind a tree and poked her head around, her face full of confusion.

Hey, why did you disappear when you got here?

Just now she actually had a chance to catch up with the second prince.

But when she saw the second prince walking further and further off the road, and his steps were a bit hurried, she couldn't help but have a ridiculous idea in her heart.

He didn't bring anyone with him and he left in such a hurry. Could it be that Mr. Shen had an appointment with someone?

Some time ago, she heard that he had accepted Sheng Xiuran, which made her feel jealous for a while!

Although in the dream, Shen Lang could not touch any other woman except her, otherwise he would suffer from physical discomfort.

But now there is a discrepancy between reality and dreams. Who knows if Shen Lang still has a problem that prevents him from touching other women?

The sixth sense told Meng Guxue that in such a hidden place and secretly, the second prince must have made an appointment with someone, and the date was most likely a woman!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue felt jealous and decided to follow him all the way to find out.

She knew that the second prince was capable, so she deliberately did not rely on him for too long.

In the end, I don't know if she was too far away, and she lost sight of the second prince in the blink of an eye.

Meng Guxue was feeling annoyed when suddenly a gentle female voice rang out.

"Mr. Shen, do you really care so much about Sheng Xiuran? Why don't you ask me why I'm looking for you."

Meng Guxue was hiding behind a tree. When she heard this voice, she was so shocked that she lost control of her expression!

Because she had only heard this voice at the palace banquet. Isn't it Yu Zhaoyi, the favorite concubine of Emperor Yong?

Meng Guxue suddenly got goosebumps all over her body. She secretly prayed in her heart that the Shen Lang Yu Zhaoyi mentioned was not the second prince.

But soon, another deep voice broke her fantasy.

"Sheng Xiuran was given to me by my father. She cannot disappear for no reason."

Meng Guxue felt weak all over. At this moment, she suddenly felt confused as if the male protagonist's filter was broken.

In the dream, Shen Lang was so clean and self-sufficient. He never had anything to do with other women!

She also asked Shen Lang about Yu Zhaoyi's death in her dream. His expression was so plain, as if he was talking about a stranger.

As a result, in reality, Shen Lang and Yu Zhaoyi not only knew each other, but also sounded close to each other!

"Is it just because she was gifted by the Holy One? But Mr. Shen, didn't you ask for this grace yourself? Aren't you Miss Xinyuesheng?"

Yu Zhaoyi's voice continued to sound, full of urgency, as if she was eager to know the answer.

The second prince frowned slightly, as expected, this chess piece had some delusions that it shouldn't have.

"That's just a stop-gap measure on my part. I don't have any thoughts about her. Where did you get her?"

When Yu Zhaoyi heard this, her heart suddenly relaxed, and she showed a relieved smile.

"That's good, that's good."

The next moment, she raised her head with hope and said softly: "Mr. Shen, I don't want to serve that dog emperor anymore. Can you take me away?"

"No, I don't dare to expect you to take me away. Can you send me out of the palace? Just come and see me when you remember."

This was said in an extremely humble way, which shows her obsession with the second prince.

The second prince was silent for a long time, and suddenly said calmly: "The concubine cannot leave the palace unless she dies."

Yu Zhaoyi's whole body trembled when she heard this. She hurriedly grabbed the second prince's sleeves and begged.

"Mr. Shen, isn't there that kind of fake death medicine? Can you let me take one and then take me out? I really don't want to be a substitute anymore. That dog emperor makes me feel sick!"

"Mr. Shen, please help me!"

Chapter 99 He loves his prince brother so much

The second prince resisted and did not pull his sleeve back from Yu Zhaoyi's hand. When he heard her take the initiative to mention the fake death medicine, the second prince's eyes flashed slightly.

"Do you really want to leave?"

Yu Zhaoyi nodded immediately, and she gave her wealth, life and sincerity to the second prince in front of her without hesitation.

The second prince pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It's not impossible."

This sentence made Yu Zhaoyi's eyes light up.

"Mr. Shen, how about we hurry up? I really don't want to stay with the Dog Emperor any longer."

Qiao Jiaojiao secretly shook her head when she saw Yu Zhaoyi looking at the second prince as her savior.

[This silly woman, how can the Second Prince have any fake death medicine in his hand? Even if he did, he wouldn't give it to you. 】

[If you dare to take his medicine, you will never open your eyes again once you close them! 】

When Meng Guxue heard this, she quietly covered her mouth.

This Yu Zhaoyi was obviously the favorite concubine of Emperor Yong, but she was obsessed with Shen Lang!

Will Shen Lang really rescue her?

If Shen Lang really keeps such a vixen by his side, wouldn't her status be in danger?

Until this moment, Meng Guxue was still struggling with love.

"Okay." The second prince responded calmly.

Yu Zhaoyi was very happy. At this time, she pulled Liu Lu aside and asked expectantly: "Mr. Shen, Liu Lu treats me very well. Can you take her out with you?"

Liu Lu didn't expect that Yu Zhaoyi was really willing to take her away. Her heart suddenly felt sour and her eyes were red.

But she was never obsessed with the second prince. She was much calmer than Yu Zhaoyi.

The trick of fake death medicine is really too dangerous. If the fake trick comes true, nothing will really happen.

The second prince has decided to get rid of Yu Zhaoyi, so naturally he cannot keep the maid who is extremely close to her.

He nodded slowly, "It is much more convenient for the palace maid to leave the palace. She can leave the palace in advance and wait for you."

"Liu Lu, that's great!"

Yu Zhaoyi's eyebrows were curved, and her face already had good expectations for the future life.

"Mr. Shen, when do you think it's best for me to leave? Do you need me to poison that dog emperor before leaving?"

"It's a pity that I can't contact the prince. Otherwise, I would have killed the prince as well, so that Mr. Shen can rest easy!"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she knew something was wrong.

[That silly and sweet mind is already outstanding among children, but I can't help but love his prince brother so much. 】

[He will definitely show his emotions this time! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao's mind had just reached this point when she heard the crunching sound of branches bending in the bush where Sha Baitian was hiding.

The second prince was horrified when he heard the sound. At this critical moment, he immediately shouted:

"Yu Zhaoyi, how can you say such rebellious words! Those are my father and brother, and I will never allow anyone to harm them!"

Yu Zhaoyi obviously heard the strange noise. Her heart trembled suddenly, and she immediately fell to the ground, confessing quickly:

"Second... Your Highness, I... my concubine was obsessed with things for a moment. I shouldn't have done so. Please spare my life, Your Highness!"

Meng Guxue was stunned when something unexpected happened, and she stood motionless behind the tree.

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but admire the second prince.

After he found out that someone was eavesdropping, he did not immediately arrest the person. Instead, he sternly reprimanded Yu Zhaoyi and expressed his position with righteous words.

In this way, no matter whether the eavesdropper can be eliminated or not, even in the worst case scenario, if today's private meeting is exposed in front of Emperor Yong, he will have room to argue.

Such a mind and such a reaction are really scary!

And this Yu Zhaoyi is also very clever as long as she is not facing the second prince.

She was sincere to the second prince, responded instantly, and put the blame on herself!

[Tsk, tsk, he is indeed the male protagonist who has the last laugh. He is so smart and cunning! 】

[Looking at Meng Guxue's trembling and confused look, she could at best give the male protagonist some money-making cheats. Compared with the male protagonist, her mental state is simply beaten. 】

The second prince listened carefully for a while, but there was no more movement in the bushes.

His eyes flashed slightly, it seemed that the person hiding in the dark was still weak, otherwise he would have jumped out to identify him!

I don't know how much that person listened to. Since he didn't dare to come out, he might as well take this opportunity to remove himself completely!

Thinking of this, the second prince lowered his eyes and looked at Yu Zhaoyi on the ground, and said coldly:

"Yu Zhaoyi, I thought that you and my mother and concubine look somewhat similar, so I took great care of you despite the world's disapproval. Who would have thought that you would have such a vicious heart and want to murder my father and brother! "

"I tell you, if you continue to speak so openly, I will definitely twist you in front of my father and deal with you impartially!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately looked comforted and said silently to the frightened Yu Zhaoyi: "Find a way to deal with him."

Tears welled up in Yu Zhaoyi's eyes, she nodded silently, and then cried in a low voice:

"Your Highness, spare your life, I don't dare, I don't dare!"

The second prince rolled his sleeves angrily, "Yu Zhaoyi, just take care of yourself!"

After saying that, the second prince sullenly walked away angrily, as if he didn't even hear the flaw just now.

Meng Guxue heard the second prince's intention to leave, and was so frightened that she turned away and walked away quickly.

She didn't know why, but she felt endless fear in her heart. She always felt that if she was caught eavesdropping, she might die!

The second prince turned around and walked out of the rockery. He originally wanted to hide in the dark, but he felt relieved to leave after seeing Yu Zhaoyi deal with the man.

As a result, when he raised his eyes inadvertently, he actually saw the hem of a skirt flashing past!

The second prince was shocked. It turned out that there was more than one person eavesdropping in the dark!

His heart was beating fast. He was really too careless this time!

Not only was Yu Zhaoyi not dealt with it, but two tails were also missing!

This was the reason why he didn't want to meet Yu Zhaoyi in the palace. It was too dangerous and there were so many eyes and ears!

But Yu Zhaoyi caught Sheng Xiuran and caused such a drama!

The second prince felt a sense of panic for the first time in a long time, but he was mentally strong after all. After taking a breath, he made a decision.

Yu Zhaoyi has the secret here, so he will capture the escaped woman first!

Look at the color of the skirt. If he guessed correctly, the eavesdropper should be Meng Guxue of the Meng family, right?

If it was really her, there would be no rush to get rid of her. After all, she still had three crucial formulas in her hands!

Thinking of this, the second prince increased his speed slightly and chased after him.

On this side, Yu Zhaoyi stood up with lingering fear. Thinking that there were people hiding in the bushes who might threaten her and Shen Lang's lives, her eyes suddenly focused, and a trace of sternness appeared on her face.

The next moment, she lifted up her skirt without warning, ran to the cluster of trees nimbly, and violently opened the leaves, revealing a young and tender face behind them.

Chapter 100 Silly Baitian who is as light as a feather

"Fourth Prince!?"

Yu Zhaoyi spoke in a low voice, panic and astonishment mixed on her face.

She never expected that the one hiding behind the trees would be the young Fourth Prince!

The fourth prince raised his head and looked at Yu Zhaoyi coldly, his heart filled with fear.

As the pillow of her father, Yu Zhaoyi actually had a crush on her second brother, and even tried to harm her father and the prince's brother!

Such a conspiracy, such a vicious plot, she will never be allowed to succeed!

Even though his heart was filled with shock and panic, the fourth prince still managed to maintain some composure while tightly holding the jade pendant around his waist.

Nothing can happen to him!

If something happens to him, no one will uncover Yu Zhaoyi's conspiracy, and then the father and the prince's brother will be in danger!

Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly, and while Yu Zhaoyi was stunned, he thrust his head into Yu Zhaoyi's stomach!

Yu Zhaoyi was unprepared for a moment and was knocked back continuously. She almost fell due to severe pain in her abdomen. Fortunately, Liu Lu helped her in time.

Liu Lu was already about to cry.

The person who was eavesdropping was the fourth prince. The empress and her were really dead!

"Empress, what should I do?"

The fourth prince found an opportunity and ran back and forth with all his strength, shouting loudly: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"

Liu Lu's face suddenly turned pale when she heard the fourth prince's loud shouts, and she was immediately devastated.

It's over...it's really over...

Yu Zhaoyi trembled all over, no longer caring about the pain in her abdomen, she gritted her teeth and chased after him.

No, it would not be a pity for her to die, but she must not harm Shen Lang!

She was an adult after all, and she danced all year round. Her body was much lighter than ordinary people, and she soon caught up with the short-legged fourth prince.

The next moment, she rushed forward regardless, pushed the fourth prince to the ground, and tightly covered his mouth with her right hand!

"Fourth Prince, please stop shouting, there is no one here!"

"Uh-huh!"

The fourth prince struggled violently, and his tender little face was rubbed red on the ground.

He was panic-stricken, and at this moment he vaguely felt that he would not survive.

He knew that the most indispensable thing in the palace was scandalous activities, and it was normal to silence people.

At this moment, he thought of his mother, his brother the prince, and his sister Qiao who was still waiting for his gift.

"Fourth Prince, you shouldn't be here!"

Yu Zhaoyi actually couldn't bear it in her heart. This fourth prince was harmless to humans and animals in the palace and was very friendly to everyone. When he saw her on weekdays, he would call her "Yu Zhaoyi" with a smile.

She didn't want to hurt innocent people, but her fault was due to fate. The fourth prince happened to appear here!

When the fourth prince heard this, he knew that he had no way to escape. At this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was:

No, even if I die, I still have to leave a clue to the prince brother!

If I die, the queen mother will definitely be heartbroken. If something happens to the prince's brother again, the queen mother will really not be able to survive!

Thinking of this, the fourth prince hit his head on the ground. Taking advantage of Yu Zhaoyi's astonishment, he opened his mouth wide and bit Yu Zhaoyi's palm fiercely!

He exerted all his strength, and he didn't feel relieved until there was a smell of blood in his mouth.

Great, he left very deep tooth marks on Yu Zhaoyi's hand. He was still young, and there were not many people in the palace with such tooth marks.

My brother is so smart, he will definitely be able to find out who Yu Zhaoyi is, and then he can solve this threat!

My brother is safe, that's good...

Up to this point, the fourth prince had tried his best to do everything he could.

After all, he had just celebrated his fifth birthday, and he was already a little exhausted.

Yu Zhaoyi felt severe pain in her palm. She never expected that the fourth prince had such a mind. She thought he was in a hurry and had no choice but to bite her instinctively.

Seeing that the strength of the fourth prince's struggle had become weaker, she thought to herself: He is still a child after all.

Liu Lu was too frightened, and now she hurriedly rushed over. She knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, we... what should we do?"

Yu Zhaoyi changed her hand and continued to cover the fourth prince's mouth tightly. She looked around in a daze, and suddenly her eyes settled on Yuhua Lake not far away.

"Liu Lu, this fourth prince can't survive, otherwise we will all die!"

Liu Lu was so frightened that she burst into tears when she heard this.

She...she didn't dare to kill anyone, not to mention that the person in front of her was the fourth prince, who was extremely noble and still so young.

Yu Zhaoyi was also afraid, but she was even more afraid that the second prince would suffer as a result.

"Liu Lu, we don't have to do it ourselves, just throw...the fourth prince into Yuhua Lake..."

When the fourth prince heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. He wanted to struggle, but Yu Zhaoyi used all his strength to restrain him.

On the tree behind the rockery, Qiao Diyi was almost dying of anxiety!

When the fourth prince was discovered by Yu Zhaoyi just now, he wanted to take action, but Qiao Jiaojiao's heart rang out.

[It turns out that Sha Baitian is so dead...]

It turned out that there was such a big inside story. Silly Baitian obviously fought hard. He did all this for his father and brother.

However, the original work didn't even mention this, and wrote him as a minor supporting character as light as a feather, as a tool to promote the plot!

[No wonder Yu Zhaoyi was found out later. This bite that Silly Baitian took must have been crucial. 】

[But the charge the Dog Emperor charged against Yu Zhaoyi was not for murdering the prince, but for being arrogant because of his favor. Is it because of insufficient evidence? 】

[Or is it because the Dog Emperor knew that this matter involved his beloved second son, so he would rather not clear up the name of the dead fourth prince than preserve the reputation of the second prince? 】

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao's heart was filled with tears. While she spurned the Dog Emperor, she also felt that it was not worth it for Silly Baitian who died young because of it.

[He is still too young after all. Although he is already very smart and incredible, the protection of the prince and the queen still makes him underestimate the dangers of the human heart. 】

[If his scheming was deep enough, he wouldn't have accidentally touched the branch because of his emotions and exposed himself. 】

[I still hope that the second brother can take action later. Although it is pitiful to be so stupid and stupid, he must grow up as soon as possible. 】

[Emperor Yong was more ruthless than I thought, otherwise Silly Baitian would not have died so insignificantly. 】

[Only by letting Sha Baitian truly experience a life-and-death crisis, can he see clearly the dangers in this palace, thoroughly see Emperor Yong's eccentric face, and no longer have any expectations for him! 】

[UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuoriuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuWuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu suddenly i feel so cruel and stupid, i'm doing my best for you, don't blame me. 】

[I have found something that can save you in the Gongde Mall in advance, and I have made many preparations. I will definitely not let you really go to see the old King of Hell! 】
