Chapter 189 Stinky Egg

The crown prince was punished by being confined to his quarters and ordered to copy books in the Eastern Palace.

The brushstrokes were completely gone, and the floor was covered with crumpled paper.

Even the calming incense couldn't calm him down.

"Where exactly did things go wrong? How come we don't have a single clue!"

The crown prince, having experienced few setbacks, thought he could handle everything with ease, but he never expected to stumble on the matter of Gongye Changfeng. Not only did the man die, but not a single clue was found.

Could he be the person behind Gongye Changfeng?

The Crown Prince swept the things off the table, his face grim: "Jingyu."

"Your subordinate is here." The man wearing a metal mask appeared outside the door without anyone noticing, waiting for the Crown Prince's orders.

The crown prince looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but then swallowing back the words that were about to come out. "Never mind, it's none of your business."

The Emperor said it absolutely could not be that person, and he was not allowed to send anyone to the southwest to verify.

He wanted to break the deadlock, but doing so would surely incur his father's wrath...

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Good news!"

Li Fu ran in excitedly: "His Majesty summoned His Majesty, saying that there are new developments in the case of Gongye Changfeng."

"really?"

"Absolutely true!"

Li Fu was happy for the Crown Prince, "It seems the rumors are true!"

"What rumor?" the crown prince asked, puzzled.

"It's like the Wenyang Marquis's family has produced a little lucky charm; everyone who encounters her can turn misfortune into good fortune. Not long ago, this servant met Miss Qiuqiu and the princess in the imperial kitchen, so I got close to her and said a few nice words. Hey, it really came true!"

"It's said that Miss Qiuqiu cried and made a scene in the palace, which inadvertently led His Majesty to discover a new clue. Isn't that amazing?"

The Crown Prince originally wanted to slap these words down as nonsense, but since the Eastern Palace had been shrouded in gloom recently, if this statement could cheer them up, then he might as well secretly believe it this time.

"Jingyu, send some more trinkets to Qiuqiu in the name of Donggong as a thank you gift. Li Fu, help me change my clothes."

Li Fu's words were like a pebble dropped into the Crown Prince's heart, creating ripples that spread throughout his mind. He couldn't help but think of Qiuqiu the whole way.

Thinking about it carefully, this little girl does seem to be somewhat different from ordinary children.

"Your Highness, are those the princess and Miss Chuchu?"

The prince snapped out of his reverie and looked in the direction Li Fu was pointing. Sure enough, two little ones were hidden among the double-petaled chrysanthemums.

"Why isn't there even a maidservant to serve us?"

The prince turned on his toes and walked towards them without realizing it.

It wasn't that there were no palace maids to serve them, but rather that these two little devils wouldn't let anyone follow them. Qiuqiu furtively looked around, with the noble Princess Funing keeping watch for her.

[Hehe, you stinky egg, when the bad guy comes out I'll shove it in his mouth!]

Revenge from Chuchu!

Fu Ning squatted beside Qiu Qiu, watching her rub stinky eggs. After holding it in for a while, her face, which had recently become much paler, slowly turned red. She stretched out her chubby, short fingers and plugged her nostrils. Feeling a little better, she opened her little mouth a crack and took a sniff…

“Σ_(」∠) Ugh!”

This is a special stinky egg made by Chuchu, guaranteed to be incredibly powerful!

Chiu Chiu collects items from different places, soaks them in water, and then kneads them into mud. After Master Chiu kneads them forty-nine times, they become stinky eggs. Throw one at someone and they'll stink for half a month!

Chuchu got more and more excited as she rubbed, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Hehe~"

The best way to protect friendship is for her to laugh and joke, and for Fu Ning to be the best little black-faced princess.

So from the Crown Prince's perspective, this is a real-life version of being clueless and unhappy.

And...

"Chirp, what are you playing?!"

A strange smell entered the prince's nostrils, and he backed away warily. Was the brainless guy playing with shit?!

Chuchu, who was focused on making the pills, asked in confusion, "Huh?"

【I'm making stinky eggs!】

The family members who can read minds are not here. Princess Fu Ning is very aloof, and no one is there to help Qiu Qiu explain.

The crown prince said earnestly, "This kind of thing is not to be played with."

Chuchu: I think he suspects me of playing things I shouldn't be playing, but I have no proof!

"No one likes a smelly little kid."

The prince thought that other people used to coax and deceive children, and he wanted to save the wayward children, but they didn't appreciate it and even got angry.

"Hmph!" Chiu Chiu rolled her eyes at him, then stomped her foot angrily. "Beautiful!"

"What are you so beautiful about? A kid who plays with...plays with that kind of stuff and thinks he's beautiful?"

[You have no taste! A beautiful and kind-hearted lucky charm like me is a rare find these days!]

What exactly is he unhappy about with me?

Just say it, I'm not going to change it anyway!

Chiu Chiu's arrogant demeanor made the Crown Prince laugh in exasperation. He tapped Princess Funing's nose: "Don't play these games with her."

If you can't control other people's sisters, why can't you control your own?

Fu Ning didn't heed a word of the Crown Prince's instructions; instead, she suspected her brother of sowing discord.

She and Qiuqiu are the best of friends in the world!

Fu Ning was indignant and threw a rotten egg at her brother...

"Fu Ning!"

The Crown Prince was furious, truly furious!

"you……"

Shh! X2

He, the dignified Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was actually booed by someone so easily!

For some reason, the Crown Prince felt particularly childish today and wanted to argue with them.

In late autumn, the signs of winter were already palpable. Petals fell from the branches, leaving only the double-petaled chrysanthemums clinging to life. Under their cover, Chiu Chiu and Funing could easily hide themselves.

But adding a crown prince would not work.

Two muddy handprints landed on the prince's wrists...

Crown Prince: "???!!!" Are you serious about taking that step forward?!

With all her might, Qiuqiu pulled the prince down to squat down with her.

Crown Prince: Another strong female baby?

While the "naive" crown prince was still in shock, the two little dumplings had already started launching stinky eggs.

"Whoosh!"

“Swoosh!”

Several stinky eggs were launched at Zhao San and Yun Zihan in succession, determined to hit them and teach the two bad guys a lesson.

The experts in the palace were no pushovers either; they noticed the movement at the double-petaled chrysanthemum the instant the stinky egg was launched.

The Crown Prince's warning look made them dare not make any further moves, and they could only let the stinky eggs hit them.

This taste... it's deadly!

"vomit!"

I feel nauseous!

"Big brother, save me! I can't take it anymore... Ugh, ugh... Just kill me with one blow! Ugh!"

Yun Zihan fared even worse; the moment he opened his mouth, the stinky egg that Chiu Chiu fired landed right in his mouth. He vomited so badly that he almost brought up bile.

Life is worse than death!

The Crown Prince suddenly realized: "Your punishment is quite good. I'll discuss it with the Ministry of Justice later, and we'll use your stinky balls next time."

Having already gotten her revenge on Yun Zihan and the others, Qiuqiu stood up, clapped her hands, and was about to leave. Fu Ning swayed along beside her.

Two little bundles, one short and one tall, one chubby and one thin, waddled like two little ducks.

They're quite cute.

The crown prince felt that it might be better if they didn't follow him.

After all, they really do smell bad.

Chiu Chiu and Fu Ning, sensing something amiss, turned around in unison and glared disapprovingly at the Crown Prince:

What are you doing following us?!
