Noble Consort Kang raised her hand to touch Prince Jin's cheek. Her eyes were filled with pain, "Child, have you eaten your meal properly recently?

Prince Jin smiled soothingly: "It's autumn and my appetite isn't good. mother doesn't have to worry, I'll just recuperate for a bit."

The Noble Consort Kang said lovingly, "The matter between the crown prince and Prince Duan has already troubled you. The emperor has also assigned you with some tasks, I really don't know when you can rest."

"mother," the Prince Jin gently patted the back of her hand, "To become a great man, one must first have a bitter heart, and starve for his skin. This son of mine hasn't been starved or frozen yet, so I'll just do some small things."

"Sigh," Noble Consort Kang sighed, "Sometimes, I wonder if helping you ascend the throne is right or wrong."

"This son has always wanted to fight for the position of Lord. It has no right or wrong, regardless of whether it is fought over or not, when the Crown Prince and Prince Duan becomes new emperor, we will not have a place for ourselves and our children."

When Noble Consort Kang thought about the matters regarding Mrs. Heyi, she could not help but feel somewhat uneasy. "Prince Duan will know …"

"There will be a day when he will find out the truth. What we can do is to make it so that he won't live to see the truth."

When Noble Consort Kang heard Prince Jin's words, she calmed down a lot, "That's right, we absolutely cannot let Prince Duan live until that day."

"The two most dazzling princes in the palace," Prince Jin said as he curled his lips, "It will soon be a head-on battle."

"It's going to be a head-on battle so soon?"

"The crown prince had already developed feelings for Xue Ronghua, or perhaps, the Prince Duan believed that the crown prince had feelings for Xue Ronghua.

"It would be a great fortune if we did not see the fake faces of the two siblings," Noble Consort Kang smiled sweetly, "My son is smart, how did you manage to do that?"

Prince Jin pursed his lips and said: "I told Prince Duan about Yu Zhu."

Noble Consort Kang paused for a moment, then immediately rebuked, "How can you tell Prince Duan something like this?"

The Prince Jin shook his head, "No, I didn't say that this is my problem. I only told you one story."

"But you can't go and take the risk like that," the Noble Consort Kang frowned, "what if the Prince Duan finds out about the matter of the crown prince fighting with you over the dancers? Wouldn't he be making a big fuss out of nothing?"

"It's fine. If he wants to do it, then do it. I don't care anymore."

The Noble Consort Kang looked at him suspiciously, "You and the crown prince did not get along because of Yu Zhu, then why are you allied with the Prince Duan now, it's also because of her?"

The Prince Jin laughed coldly: "Even without Yu Zhu, I would still not get along with him. To stand on Prince Duan's side today is just assessing the situation.

Noble Consort Kang wanted to say more, but seeing her cold expression, she changed her words, "You just have to decide on your own."

"mother," Prince Jin said, "This son has been in contact with Xue Liuhua for the past few days, and something has happened to the Xue Family."

"Xue Liuhua? What happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion? "

"Xue Longhu's concubine is a small child, her child is gone, and his mother committed suicide."

Noble Consort Kang revealed a look of sympathy, "The late Prime Minister's death is also pitiful."

"But, this son always feels that something is off."

Noble Consort Kang more or less understood a little about the grudge and grudges in the house, "It can't be that Xue Liuhua and Madam Ye did this to him, right?"

"It was indeed Xue Liuhua who pushed the aunt down from the top of the building."

"Sigh," a look of disdain flashed past Noble Consort Kang's eyes, "Looking at her seductive appearance, you can tell she's a poisonous woman."

"Little Zhui, did you finish what I told you to do?" Xue Ronghua leaned on the chair leisurely and asked.

"Of course," Little Zhui laughed happily, "I won't slack off on Miss's matters."

Xue Ronghua smiled, "What did you tell Madam Ye?"

Little Zhui said: "I said, 'Madam, did Master Xue give this to you? I sent it to Miss's room wrongly."

Xue Ronghua clapped her hands and praised: "You are really smart, how's Madam Ye's expression?"

"Madam didn't have any expression, so she just took it."

Xue Ronghua's heart skipped a beat. The only person who had held this Gui Hua Oil Sutra was Xue Liuhua, could it be that Madam Ye did not know that Xue Liuhua had poisoned the pill, and that it was Xue Liuhua's doing?

"Then did she use it in the past few days?"

Little Zhui thought for a while, then said: "Madam is using it, yesterday I even smelled the osmanthus oil on her hair."

That osmanthus oil was a good thing, Madam Ye probably had never used it before, but after being confused for a moment, she did not suspect anything.

"Mn, that's good," Xue Ronghua said. "Help me keep an eye on that side for the next few days."

Since the Madam Ye was not aware of what her daughter had done, then things would be much easier. Xue Ronghua squinted her eyes dangerously. She hadn't been able to take down the mother and daughter pair when it came to the matter of the Aunt Min's pregnancy. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Where's Zhu Tong?"

Little Zhui pointed out the window, "She is picking chrysanthemums in the courtyard."

Xue Ronghua looked at the Xiao Se's Autumn Light in the courtyard. The bright and beautiful flowers that had bloomed under the melting spring light had long withered in the autumn wind, leaving only the chrysanthemums proudly blooming in the cold wind. Sure enough, it fit Huang Ji's poem — — After I blossomed, I killed a hundred flowers.

"Does Zhu Tong really like chrysanthemums?"

Little Zhui laughed, "I think so. Zhu Tong told me before that there are no chrysanthemums in Chiron."

Chu Zongge had also told her before that there were no lotus flowers on the Chiron. Xue Ronghua was at a loss. What kind of place was Chiron exactly?

"Miss, are you thinking about Zhu Tong? Or are you thinking about the Prince Duan?" Little Zhui revealed a sly smile.

"Little Zhui," Xue Ronghua rolled her eyes in annoyance, "You probably have nothing better to do than picking chrysanthemums with Zhu Tong."

Little Zhui immediately replied: I'm just speaking the truth, could it be that Miss doesn't want to go to Prince Duan?

Xue Ronghua stared blankly for a moment before saying, "Why do I keep thinking about him? In the future …"

"Who is thinking of This King?"

A male's voice filled with magnetism came from outside the window. Xue Ronghua turned her head in surprise, it was Chu Zongge.

Chu Zongge wore a green and gray robe, revealing a scholarly elegant aura. He smiled as he sat beside Xue Ronghua, "Are you two talking about this king?"

Xue Ronghua intentionally turned his face away, and no longer looked at him, "Why are you talking about it, just randomly mentioning it."

When Little Zhui saw that the Prince Duan had arrived, she walked out of the room while snickering and looked for Zhu Tong.

"Hmm," Chu Zongge pretended to be happy, "I'm satisfied to be able to lift you up."

Xue Ronghua covered her face and laughed: "What are you looking for me for?"

"That day, after we left the lotus pond, I never saw you again. I wanted to talk to you for a while."

Xue Ronghua smiled sweetly, "You, the fake husband, have done very well."

Chu Zongge replied sternly, "I am not a fake husband."

"How are you not a fake? Didn't we agree on it earlier? "

Chu Zongge suddenly became lost, "The agreement from before …"

"I will help you get the position of the storage monarch," Xue Ronghua said as she looked at him with rapt attention. "You help me take revenge against Meng Qianzhong and Su Rushuang."

Chu Zongge was silent for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile: "You are right."

Little Zhui suddenly ran in hastily and said softly: "Miss, the crown prince has come to our residence!"

Xue Ronghua could not help but be shocked, Crown Prince? What did he come here for, to try to rope Xue Longhu in?

Chu Zongge frowned and thought for a while, "I think the crown prince is here to see you."

"Why do you say that?" Xue Ronghua asked doubtfully.

"Xue Longhu has always had a wait-and-see attitude towards princes, and would not have any personal relationships with anyone, so the Crown Prince is not here to look for Xue Longhu, but you."

Little Zhui said anxiously: "Prince Duan is right, Master is calling Miss over."

Xue Ronghua couldn't help but clench the corner of her clothes. Could it be that the crown prince was really interested in him? That would be big trouble.

Chu Zongge comforted his gently: "If I'm not wrong, the crown prince is trying to lure you to betray me."

Xue Ronghua's face darkened.

"This is only the second move," Chu Zongge laughed lightly, "I'm afraid that his first move is to borrow the power of the Empress Chen to marry Xue Liuhua, and then bring the Prince Jin over to his side. Now, the Noble Consort Kang behind the Prince Jin will have her own power, and Xue Longhu also has his own power."

Xue Ronghua laughed coldly: "This plan is good, but whether or not we can finish it all depends on us."

Xue Ronghua elegantly turned around and followed Little Zhui.

The Crown Prince took a sip of his tea and laughed, "Prime Minister Xue has really raised two good daughters. One of them became the quasi wangfei of Prince Duan, and the other one is almost a wangfei of Prince Jin."

Xue Longhu smiled apologetically: "The crown prince is too kind, about Liuhua becoming the concubine of the Prince Jin, I haven't said a single word."

"Sigh, didn't Prince Jin come to the Xue Manor every day for the sake of the Young Miss Xue?"

"Prince Jin and Liuhua were just chatting about singing and dancing, he didn't have any other thoughts."

The Crown Prince laughed, "Prime Minister Xue looks down on Young Miss Xue too much. When mother told me that Prince Jin was dancing the Spring Dancing song in Young Miss Xue, even his eyes were silly."

"Really," A slight smile appeared on Xue Longhu's lips, "Then, how does the crown prince feel about Liuhua's jump?"

The Crown Prince was stunned, "This..." Unfortunately, I did not go to the Hundred Blossom Banquet nor did I see the Young Miss Xue dancing. "

Xue Longhu sighed softly, "It's such a pity."

The Crown Prince asked, "Is the quasi wangfei in the palace now?"

"She's in her room."

The crown prince smiled and said, "Prince Duan specifically entrusted me to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a look at the wangfei."

Xue Ronghua was living a good life in her own residence, so she still needed Prince Duan to entrust the crown prince to take a look. Xue Longhu laughed coldly in her heart, and then called the two servants over to call Xue Ronghua over.

"Prince Duan has always been whispering in my ears about how good the future wangfei is. I really want to meet her today."

Xue Longhu drank his tea calmly.

After a long while, the one who came to the study room was not Xue Ronghua, but Xue Liuhua.

Xue Liuhua bowed towards the crown prince, smiling like a flower, "Greetings, crown prince."

"The crown prince doesn't want to see her." Young Miss Xue is good, but what about quasi wangfei? "

A trace of ruthlessness flashed past Xue Liuhua's eyes, and she laughed: "The quasi wangfei is still behind, does the crown prince need to see his sister urgently?"

The Crown Prince smiled, "There's no rush."

Xue Longhu glanced at her, and asked: "How is Madam? He has been lying in his room the past few days, is he sick?"

"It's all an old sickness. Mother often has a headache."

"Should I call a doctor to diagnose it?"

"Mother said there's no need to worry. She can just eat a few pills to protect herself."

The Crown Prince smiled and said, "The relationship between the Prime Minister and his wife is very good. I believe that in the future, the future husband and wife relationship between the future princess and Prince Duan will also be harmonious."

Xue Liuhua's face stiffened, "This little sister wasn't born of a mother …."

Xue Longhu glared at her, and said: "Ronghua is warm and dignified, treating people kindly, and will help Prince Duan take care of all the affairs of Prince Duan Palace."

The crown prince smiled and looked at Xue Liuhua, "How has Young Miss Xue been recently? Just now, the prime minister said that the two of you often talked about singing and dancing."
