The female lead has a noble status and a soft, cute appearance, but she is actually scheming and cunning. She takes revenge on t...
Rong Xi, who was being talked about by the Emperor and Empress, was currently having tea with Rong Qi and a few others at the Feng Prince's residence.
Upon hearing about the incident at Liuyun Palace, Rong Xi knew without a doubt that it was Aqi who had done it.
"Aqi, I must say, what you did was really ruthless. The Liuyun Palace is rumored to be haunted, and you actually had someone dress up as a ghost to play tricks on her. Are you trying to confirm the legend of the Liuyun Palace being haunted?"
Rong Qi took a sip of tea and said slowly, "She can do anything, but the one thing she shouldn't have done was covet someone she shouldn't have coveted. I definitely have to teach her a lesson."
Rong Xi leaned closer to him: "Aren't you afraid that if the third brother finds out about this, he might have some bad intentions?"
"Ha, what bad intentions could he possibly have to hire someone to assassinate me again? Do you think I could fall for his tricks again like last time?"
Rong Xi patted his shoulder and earnestly advised him, "It's better to be careful than to make us worry."
Rong Qi nodded: "Don't worry, you and your aunt should also be careful to avoid the crazy person suddenly waking up and doing something desperate."
"Don't worry, Mother is no pushover either."
Rong Qi thought of what he had said a few days ago and looked at him teasingly: "Have you figured out the identity of the woman you saved a few days ago?"
Rong Xi shook his head: "The people I sent out to inquire didn't find out anything, and the woman wore a veil the whole time, so I suppose not many people have seen her."
Rong Qi looked at him with disdain: "It's been several days and you still don't know which family's girl she is? You're really something. Don't you have a token? Why don't you have someone draw it and ask around?"
Feng Qinghuang listened to the conversation between the two with curiosity. What girl? What token?
"Aqi, what are you talking about? Which family's daughter is she? Is she the Crown Prince's sweetheart?"
Rong Qi glanced at Rong Xi with ill intent, then leaned closer to Feng Qinghuang: "Our Crown Prince went out of the palace on business a few days ago and rescued an injured woman. After healing her, he handed her over to the steward to take back to the palace. The next day, when the woman left, she left behind a note and a hairpin. Jiaojiao, guess what was written on the note?"
Feng Qinghuang racked her brains for a long time: "Does it mean I should repay you with my body?"
Rong Qi chuckled: "Jiaojiao is so clever. The note says: You look a lot like my husband."
Wow, is this love at first sight?
Rong Qi looked at Feng Qinghuang's surprised expression, his eyes shining with delight. She was so adorable.
"If Jiaojiao says so, then it must be so."
Feng Qinghuang looked at Rong Xi and asked, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince treat that girl the same way?"
Rong Xi felt somewhat embarrassed by what Rong Qi and Feng Qinghuang said. He had never been teased like this before.
"I...I just wanted to know if the girl's injuries had healed."
"Oh... I see!"
Feng Qinghuang and Rong Qi looked at Rong Xi with sly smiles, both of them smiling simultaneously.
"Doesn't your hairpin have the character 'elegant' on it? Doesn't that easily exclude many people?"
Rong Xi took out a hairpin from his bosom and examined it carefully.
"Yes, but there are so many people with the character 'Ya' in their names, and it's not just a name; it could mean something else entirely."
Feng Qinghuang looked at the flower on the hairpin and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
"Your Highness, let me see this hairpin."
Rong Xi handed her the hairpin: "What's wrong? Have you seen this hairpin before?"
Feng Qinghuang examined it carefully for a long time, then shook her head: "I haven't seen this hairpin before, but I have seen the same style of flower on the top. And don't you know, the iris is the national flower of Youlan Kingdom. Although everyone in Youlan Kingdom can use flowers as decoration, for clothing and accessories, the craftsmanship and materials of this hairpin are not something an ordinary person can possess. Your Highness, you might want to investigate in this direction."
After listening, Rong Xi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. No wonder we couldn't find any information no matter how much we inquired. They're from Youlan Kingdom. But I'm afraid if their status is too high, it's unlikely we'll be able to find them."
Rong Qi: "What are you afraid of? We haven't even found her yet, and you're already backing down. Besides, can you guarantee that her identity is very important? Or even if she is a person of high status from another country, will your uncle not agree to your relationship? You can't be timid and hesitant, otherwise you might as well not do it at all."
Rong Qi looked at his listless appearance and felt very disgusted.
Upon hearing Rong Qi's words, Feng Qinghuang nodded in agreement: "You are the Crown Prince of a nation, what status wouldn't be worthy of you? Besides, others might be inquiring about you as well, Your Highness shouldn't give up so easily. Just based on the note that girl left, I feel she is not a worldly person, and is a perfect match for Your Highness!"
Upon hearing their conversation, Rong Xi secretly decided to first find out the woman's identity, and then let things take their course. After all, he was the crown prince of a country, and he had more to consider than others.
