BXBX NOVEL Chapter 34
Zhang Ronghua agreed with this. The men of the Nanman Kingdom were ugly, even Prince Fengyi. A seven-foot-tall man was covered in fur, and so was his face. He had a bearded face. It was a pity for Princess Anhe. She was small, light, and soft. The image could not be imagined again.
“Cousin, you also think Princess Fenghe is very ugly?”
“Are you talking about her?”
“Is there anyone else besides her?”
Bang!
Zhang Ronghua rewarded him with a knock on the head. The latter shrank back aggrievedly, his eyes resentful.
He corrected the statement, “She’s geographically beautiful!”
Zheng Fugui was unconvinced. This was clearly another way of calling her ugly, but he was not allowed to say it!
The game of chess ended.
Princess Fenghe stood up and walked to the guardrail. She looked at the calm lake. In the reflection of the sunlight, the waves sparkled and she could clearly see the fish swimming below. “Fish food.”
The maid handed over the fish food.
Holding the small bowl, he sprinkled fish food in the water. Smelling the fragrance of fish food, a school of fish swam over and snatched it.
Soon.
After finishing the fish food that was thrown down, some bold fish jumped out of the water, made a drift, and fell into the lake.
“Cluck.”
She poured all the fish food into the bowl and smiled like a silver bell as she looked at the fish fighting.
The Crown Prince walked over too and stopped beside her.
“Ah…”
Princess Fenghe was too close to the guardrail, which was low to her waist. She suddenly lost her balance and leaned forward with her upper body, falling into the lake. In their panic, she grabbed the Crown Prince’s hand, wanting to bring him down with her.
Slash!
Her clothes tore and she fell into the water. The Crown Prince was still standing on the wooden bridge, but he was missing a sleeve.
In the lake.
Princess Fenghe struggled. She could not swim. Just as she was about to sink, Qing’er quickly moved. She bent down and grabbed her arm, lifting her from the lake.
“Boohoo…”
With a sob, Princess Fenghe rushed into the Crown Prince’s arms and hugged him tightly.
Zhang Ronghua’s expression changed. “Let’s go!”
By the time they got here, they had separated and stopped in front of the Crown Prince. “Are you okay?”
The Crown Prince winked and said nothing.
After this happened, it was no longer suitable to play. He sent her to the Qinghua Hall and returned to the East Palace.
The Crown Prince voiced his guess. “She’s testing me!”
“Does she suspect you’re a woman?”
“When she hugged me in the chaos just now, her hands were very dishonest. She touched me all over.”
The subtext was where she touched.
Zhang Ronghua could also tell that this was not simple. Why would she fall into the water if not on purpose? “Do you suspect that they’ve joined forces with the mastermind?”
The Crown Prince nodded and voiced his guess. The murderer behind the scenes should have found her when they arrived in the capital and made a promise. That was why this was happening.
“If what I expected is right, she’ll attack next.”
“You want me to go and see it tonight?”
“There’s no point in going.”
For the next two days, Princess Fenghe seemed to have become a different person. She stayed in Qinghua Hall and did not go anywhere. When the Crown Prince came, she chased others out and closed the door to play chess.
It was the same today.
As soon as he arrived, she pulled the Crown Prince into the palace.
Looking at the sky,
Zhang Ronghua frowned. He felt that something was wrong. Her current performance was completely different from a few days ago. He was worried and looked in the direction of the palace again, confirming his guess.
There was another doubt.
No matter what the outcome was, if the Crown Prince did not fall, the Nanman Kingdom would suffer.
If Great Xia was angry, a small country like the Nanman Kingdom could not withstand it at all.
It was as if a line had strung all of this together, but it hadn’t grasped this point! If he could find where the point was, it would resolve all his doubts.
“Cousin, look!”
Zheng Fugui pointed in a direction and followed his finger. Princess Anhe leaned into Crown Prince Fengyi’s arms and went to the garden at the side.
“It’s already like this in broad daylight. To think she’s a member of the imperial family. Isn’t that too indecent?”
“Be careful of accidents.”
“I didn’t say anything!”
Just like the previous two days, as the sun was about to set, the hall door opened and the Crown Prince walked out. Princess Fenghe stood at the door, tears in her eyes. She was heartbroken. Just as the Crown Prince was about to disappear, she suddenly rushed out and pointed at his back. “You’re a big liar. I won’t agree with you!”
The Crown Prince left without looking back.
They left the Qinghua Hall.
Although Zhang Ronghua was curious, he did not ask. The Crown Prince’s voice came from the carriage. “Get up.”
He got into the car, lifted the curtain, and went in.
This was the first time he had sat. There was a lot of space. Rich and dignified, there were soft couches and desks.
Qing’er poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
He took a sip from his teacup. When he put it down, the Crown Prince said, “This time, she should give up!”
“What did you say?”
“At the last game of chess, she revealed her intentions and wanted to marry me as a concubine. I rejected her. Seeing that I was determined, there was no possibility of parting on bad terms. You saw what happened later.”
“Who’s the most likely to marry her?”
“Sixth Prince!”
He explained the reason. The Sixth Prince had already been crippled. The officials of the imperial court wanted to make use of trash and let him marry Princess Fenghe. Although this matter was not settled, they were discussing it in secret.
As for after the marriage, there was no need to consider if the Sixth Prince would use the power of the Nanman Kingdom to rise. The Nanman Kingdom was equivalent to a state of Great Xia. The territory of Great Xia was so vast, and the Nanman Kingdom was far outside the pass. Not to mention that the Nanman King was not a fool, even if he risked the survival of the country to help a useless prince fight for the throne, if he dared to move, Great Xia would kill him in seconds.
“Have the Sixth Prince’s forces really been wiped out?”
“You suspect he’s still hiding power in the dark?”
Zhang Ronghua did not deny it. He felt that it was impossible for a prince to not have any trump cards before he was crippled.
The Crown Prince was silent for a long time. His eyes flickered coldly as he looked at Qing’er and instructed, “Send a message to Aunt and ask her to send someone to find out about the Sixth Prince.”
“What about Princess Anhe?”
“Their relationship developed quickly.”
As if ashamed or resentful, he shook his head. “She’s disgraced the imperial family.”
Zhang Ronghua guessed that even if her chastity sand was still there, it would probably not be clean.
He didn’t ask.
It was better to ask less about the imperial family.
They got out of the carriage at the East Palace. Zhang Ronghua changed his clothes and left with his cousin.
On the way.
“Go to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and buy some side dishes.”
Zheng Fugui was puzzled. “Isn’t Uncle Shi done cooking?”
“Shuang’er gave me two pots of Sky Jade Jade Brew a few days ago. I’ve been so busy that I forgot.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll go now!”
