BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35
After what had happened last time, Xiao Mi had given a death order that it was strictly forbidden to let strangers take over shifts. If she found one, they would be expelled immediately. Before serving the food, she would test the poison with silver needles to ensure the safety of the food. Two people had to travel together. Although it increased the cost a little, it was safer.
She had just finished instructing the shopkeeper and was about to go back and rest.
Zheng Fugui rushed over from outside. When he saw her at the counter, he did not think too much about it, let alone think that there was a difference between men and women. Perhaps he subconsciously treated her as one of them.
Before she could speak, he grabbed her small hand and pulled her to the side.
When Xiao Mi came back to her senses and wanted him to let go, he had already let go of her.
“I have good news for you!”
“Do you have the Sky Jade Brew?”
“Not yet! I’ll have one after tonight.”
He told her about the two pots of Sky Jade Jade Brew in his cousin’s hand. He patted his chest and promised to leave some for her until they arrived tomorrow.
Interrupted by him, she forgot that they had been holding hands.
“Thank you for telling me the news.”
Zheng Fugui rubbed his head honestly and realized that he could not speak anymore. He stared at her with a silly smile.
“Have you eaten? If not, I’ll get someone to make you something.”
“Ah! Cousin asked me to pack some food and go back.”
In a while.
He left with the food box. Not long after he left, he remembered something and looked down at his right hand. He seemed to have held her hand just now. He instinctively put his hand to his nose and sniffed hard. There was a lingering fragrance of orchids. “It smells so good!”
In the lobby.
Zhang Ronghua and Shi Wen sat across the table and waited for a long time. He still had not returned. He frowned. “Why are you waiting so long to buy some vegetables?”
Speak of the devil.
“I’m back!”
A shadow rushed in from outside. When he saw his cousin staring at him, he looked puzzled. “Do I have flowers on my face?”
“Did you go to see Ning Xue again?”
“No! There were many people in the Heavenly Fragrance Tower. I waited for a while.”
He placed the food box on the table and took out the dishes inside. There were a total of six dishes. He asked, “Where’s the Sky Jade Jade Brew?”
Zhang Ronghua glared at him. Could he not change his rash personality? He took out two pots of Sky Jade Jade Brew and placed them on the table. He poured a glass for Shi Wen first, then filled it for him. Finally, it was his turn.
“We’re both working in the East Palace. Why didn’t Shuang’er give it to me?”
“We’re both humans. Can’t you improve a little?”
Zheng Fugui did not dare to talk back.
They ate and chatted.
Seeing that the dishes were about to be finished, there was still a little Sky Jade Brew left. He coaxed and pestered Zhang Ronghua to take the rest.
“Drunkard!”
After entering the room, he continued to cultivate the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique.
During this period of polishing, the Black Yellow True Essence had already reached a critical point. After a night of bitter cultivation, he was about to break through again and reach the sixth level of the Celestial Realm.
He got out of bed.
After leaving the room, he practiced the Mountain River World Suppressing Fist in the courtyard. The grand momentum carried the majesty of mountains and rivers. Every punch and move contained great power.
After one round, he retracted his fist and stood up.
Just as he was about to eat breakfast, a Flood Dragon Guard stopped quickly at the door. He looked flustered and knocked on the courtyard door. “Something happened to the Lord!”
Zhang Ronghua put down his chopsticks. “I’ll go take a look.”
“I’ll go with you.”
He reached the courtyard door and opened it.
Without bothering to bow, the Flood Dragon Guard hurriedly said, “Princess Fenghe committed suicide. His Highness wants you to go over immediately!”
“Go!”
Zhang Ronghua’s expression changed. He circulated his movement technique and rushed towards the East Palace. His thoughts raced. Had the mastermind attacked?
They arrived at the East Palace.
The Crown Prince was waiting for him. Seeing that he was here, he ordered him to bring people with him and rush towards the Qinghua Hall in a carriage.
On the way.
Zhang Ronghua found out the whole story from Ma Ping’an. This morning, when the maid knocked on the door and was about to wash her up, there was no movement in the bedroom. After waiting for a long time, there was no reaction, so she pushed the door open and went in to check. She saw that Princess Fenghe had died from having her pulse cut and her blood was on the ground. There was also a blood letter written in her blood on the table.
The content was very shocking. In the past few days of playing chess, the Crown Prince had pretended not to be interested in her in front of outsiders. He only had Ji Xueyan in his heart. Other than her, no one else could enter his heart. However, when there were only two of them present, he took the opportunity to touch her body. Other than the last step, he had done everything else.
Just yesterday, an accidental contact made her discover a huge secret. The Crown Prince was actually a woman!
Although the Nanman Kingdom was small and only a small country, she was also a princess. She was high and mighty, clean, holy, and untainted. Even if she was blasphemed by a woman, she had to die!
She was also afraid that she would die an unknown death which was why she had written this blood letter.
Zhang Ronghua was expressionless. With his understanding of the Crown Prince, he would not do this. Although Princess Fenghe was beautiful and had a regional charm, she was far inferior to Ji Xueyan. There was no comparison.
He had no reason to do so!
Even if he really liked her, he could make her a concubine openly. Even the Grand Tutor would not say anything. As the future Human Emperor, what was wrong with the Crown Prince marrying a concubine?
At most, Ji Xueyan was unhappy and had something to say. This concerned the struggle for power. No matter how unhappy she was, she would not flare up. In her position, when she enjoyed countless top resources, there were some responsibilities that she had to bear. It was useless to escape.
As for being a woman, it was even more of a joke!
Although the Clear Spirit Eyes was blocked by the Dynasty Fate Dragon Qi of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Grand Tutor tested it with the Five Elements Array. If he was a woman, could he hide it from the Grand Tutor?
There were too many inconsistencies. It made no sense.
If the mastermind was behind it, how could he convince Princess Fenghe to commit suicide and write a blood letter to slander the Crown Prince? Wasn’t she afraid that once the lie was exposed, the Nanman Kingdom would be destroyed?
All the members of the imperial family would become slaves. The Empress Dowager, Empress, Concubine, Princess, and so on would be thrown into the Prostitution Bureau of Great Xia until they died!
The men’s outcome would be even worse. There were many tortures in the world that were worse than death, making them regret coming to this world.
No matter how many benefits the mastermind promised, it could not move her!
Zhang Ronghua could not figure it out!
He racked his brains but still had no clue.
But she had succeeded. Her death forced the Crown Prince to the tip of the iceberg, bringing up the storm that had stopped previously again.
The Nanman Kingdom was nothing to worry about. It was just a small country. If he was happy, he would give them an explanation. If he was unhappy, they would have to scram! Otherwise, he would destroy them, but the mastermind would not stop. The other princes would not miss this opportunity. They would pounce on him like mad dogs until they brought the Crown Prince down.
No wonder his face was very dark. In the past, he did not show his emotions, but this time, he made an exception.
