Chapter 506

Han Miao was furious. It was just a whitening and freckle removal recipe. Could it be that Liu Yiyi knew more than the imperial physician in the palace? So she persuaded the Fifth Prince to find the imperial physician and ask him to prescribe some good recipes for her to use in her skin care products.

In fact, even the palace knew about Yiliu skin care products. The relatives of the palace concubines used them outside, and of course they would think of the Empress in the palace. The more beautiful the Empress' face was, the more pleasing His Majesty would be. After these things entered the palace, they were also examined by the imperial physicians. Although the imperial physicians could only taste a limited number of medicinal ingredients and could not identify the prescription, they knew that these things would not harm the Empresses.

But if we ask them to prescribe a prescription, they can't come up with such a good one. Moreover, the medicinal materials they use must be very expensive, as they are used by nobles. How much money can they make if they open a shop?

After getting the prescription, Han Miao ran to the store again and saw several carriages parked opposite. Han Miao was very unconvinced. She had such a powerful backer, the fifth prince was the future emperor, how could she lose to a village girl?

Suppressing Liu Yiyi has almost become her inner demon.

Before they reached the door of the shop, there was a shout outside. The driver suddenly reined in the horse, causing Han Miao and the maid next to them to almost fall out. The driver outside hurriedly apologized to the queen: "I'm sorry, your majesty. Someone suddenly ran over and almost hit us. I had no choice but to rein in the horse and stop."

Han Miao was supported by her maid and lifted the curtain to look outside. As expected, she saw a man lying in front of the carriage. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were wrinkled, and he reeked of alcohol. Han Miao was disgusted and frowned, saying, "Why don't you drag this drunkard away? How dare he block my way!"

As if hearing a familiar voice, the drunkard lying on the ground raised his head and looked towards Han Miao. He suddenly showed an excited look, got up from the ground and came towards Han Miao, shouting: "Miao'er, it's Miao'er, I'm your Big Brother Xie, Miao'er, Big Brother Xie finally sees you again."

A drunkard almost jumped on her. Han Miao, who had just gotten off the carriage, screamed and climbed onto the carriage with her hands and feet to hide in the carriage, shouting, "Quickly stop him! Where did this drunkard dare to bump into me? Beat him out!"

"Yes, your majesty." The coachman and guards who followed the carriage stepped forward to stop the drunkard. One of them kicked him and knocked him out.

The drunkard looked up in disbelief towards the carriage and shouted, "Miao'er, it's me, Xie Boli. Haven't you always called me Big Brother Xie? Miao'er, come out and see me. I really am your Big Brother Xie."

Han Miao suddenly pulled open the car curtain and looked at the person who had fallen to the ground again, trying to recognize a familiar shadow on the drunkard's face: "Are you really Xie Boli? How did you become like this?"

Xie Boli was surprised. It was just that Miao'er didn't recognize him. Miao'er was still the kind-hearted woman she used to be. She was completely different from Guo. He was about to crawl towards Han Miao again: "It's me, Miao'er. It's me, Brother Xie. It's all those evil people who hurt me."

This time, Han Miao really believed that the drunkard outside was Xie Boli, but because she believed it, she couldn't believe it. How could Xie Boli become like this? The smell of alcohol brought her back to her consciousness, and she screamed again: "Stop him! I am the concubine of the Fifth Prince, and I am not someone you, a stinky man, can get close to."

Xie Boli was stopped again. He looked at Han Miao in disbelief with a look of disgust and resentment on his face: "Miao'er..."

Han Miao was almost vomited by the fumes, especially since the drunkard had vomited filth on his body. She was really going to vomit, so she quickly hid in the carriage and urged, "Hurry up and drive the carriage. The drunkard outside has nothing to do with me. I am not someone who can be attached to anyone. Drive him away quickly."

"Okay, Madam." With the Madam's order, the servants of course did not hesitate to beat up Xie Boli who was still blocking the road. Xie Boli screamed in agony, his eyes still fixed on the passing carriage. How could Miao'er, who was kind and gentle, treat him like this? Impossible!

Liu Yiyi happened to see this scene on the street from the upstairs window, and she was dumbfounded. At first, she didn't know that the drunkard lying on the ground was Xie Boli, and it was only after a struggle between him and Han Miao that she confirmed the identity of this man. She didn't expect Han Miao to be so ruthless, and the drunkard couldn't forget her.

She thought that Han Miao's worldview must have been reorganized again, as she certainly could not have imagined that Xie Boli would be so destitute.

Yes, Han Miaoru was just as Liu Yiyi guessed. She didn't even go to the shop and directly asked the coachman to go back to the prince's mansion.

She was still in shock, how could it be Xie Boli? But she couldn't deny that it was indeed Xie Boli, but how could Xie Boli become like this?

Thinking of the fate of Zeng Yuanxin and Zeng Kang, father and son, and looking at Xie Boli like this, Han Miao became more and more doubtful about her own memory. What she feared most was shaking the future of the Fifth Prince. If the Fifth Prince could not become emperor, then she would be just a concubine in the prince's mansion.

Xie Boli's entanglement with Han Miao happened in the center of the city, and many people saw it, so these words reached the ears of the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince clenched his fists. Although he believed Han Miao's explanation on the surface after Han Miao married into his family, he couldn't get over it in his heart. It was just that the prescription Han Miao came up with was too good, and he still needed Han Miao, so he turned a blind eye to what happened in the past.

But now, hearing the discussions outside, the Fifth Prince felt that his head was turning green. Others looked at him strangely, and those brothers were laughing at him. He issued an order to his mansion that Concubine Han was not allowed to leave the mansion at will without his permission. So when Han Miao came to her senses from her loss and panic, she found that she had lost the freedom to enter and leave the mansion.

This was just the beginning. Later, she found that the account books sent by the shop were getting more and more perfunctory. The account was obviously problematic, and she couldn't mobilize the manager of the shop. Han Miao was extremely helpless. She knew that all this must have been arranged by the Fifth Prince, but how could she resist? Not only could she not resist, but she also thought about how to win back the Fifth Prince's heart. The Fifth Prince's favor for her was her only way out.

As for Xie Boli, who was targeted by the Fifth Prince, how could he have a good ending? If Jing Lie hadn't kept people paying attention to Xie Boli, we might not even know what happened to him.

"He was beaten and thrown out of the capital with a broken leg?" Yuan Jing asked in surprise, "Did the Fifth Prince do it? He was a Juren after all. The Fifth Prince was really cruel. After all, wasn't it Xie Boli who was deliberately kept hanging by Han Miao?"

Xie Boli felt sorry for his original body, but he did not feel sorry for Han Miao. It was Han Miao who gave Xie Boli hope.

Jing Lie sneered: "I think the fifth prince and Han Miao are a good match. They are the same kind of people. The reason why he still keeps Han Miao is because Han Miao is still useful to him."

That being said, Yuan Jing had no sympathy for Xie Boli's situation. Xie Boli was also half responsible for the death of his original body. He would only applaud such an end. First, Han Miao's disgust and hatred made him despair, and then the Fifth Prince had his legs broken, which completely ended his hope. Originally, no matter how miserable his situation was, at least he had the title of Juren and was a good reader. He might have a chance to take part in the joint examination and become a Jinshi. But now his legs were broken and he was no longer qualified to enter the examination room. I'm afraid Han Miao hated both the Fifth Prince and Han Miao.

"Does he know that it was done by the Fifth Prince's men?"

Jing Lie raised his eyebrows at Yuan Jing, and Yuan Jing laughed. It seemed that Jing Lie did not miss the opportunity to provoke Xie Boli. Would Xie Boli launch a decisive counterattack?

If the news of breaking a scholar's legs were to spread, the Fifth Prince would probably lose the hearts of many scholars.

The situation in the capital was becoming increasingly tense. On this day, it was heard that the old emperor was furious in the court and ordered the fifth prince to be detained in the mansion under house arrest. Several other adult princes were also reprimanded by the emperor.

Yuan Jing lived a very leisurely life, writing storybooks, listening to storytelling, and even listening to things in the palace as if they were storytelling. But he was too leisurely, and probably God couldn't stand it, so the old emperor sent someone to bring him into the palace.

Jing Lie said nothing and calmly watched Yuan Jing follow the eunuch into the palace. Of course, Yuan Jing knew very well that if anything happened to him in the palace, Jing Lie would definitely rush into the palace.

After entering the palace, the eunuch who led the way told Yuan Jing that the emperor was ill and wanted to see Yuan Jing, so they went out of the palace to invite Yuan Jing in, hoping that Yuan Jing could persuade the emperor not to be angry because of the princes.

Yuan Jing smiled in his heart. He would not get involved in these things. What the emperor and these princes wanted to do had nothing to do with him.

When he arrived outside the emperor's bedroom, Yuan Jing was surprised to find that the first, third, fourth and sixth princes were all there. Except for the fifth prince who was confined to the palace, all the adult princes were present. The second prince died young.

The princes were also surprised to see the emperor's trusted eunuch personally come out to welcome Yuan Jing in. Their father valued the fourth young master Zeng so much? His sons didn't want to see him, but he called an irrelevant person into the palace.

These princes didn't think highly of Zeng Yuanjing. His affairs were spread all over the city. Even if they didn't want to hear it, their romantic affairs were well known. Besides, he had turned down the title twice. So what was the point of winning over such a dandy boy?

But now some of the princes are reflecting in their hearts, have they underestimated the Fourth Young Master Zeng? Some of the rumors they didn't believe before, but this time they believe it a little. The Fourth Young Master Zeng has a good face, but they didn't expect that their father is really obsessed with this face. Maybe they shouldn't ignore the Fourth Young Master Zeng too much.

No matter what they were calculating in their hearts, did it have anything to do with Yuan Jing? He stepped into the old emperor's bedroom, and was greeted by a strong smell of medicine and an old man's breath. Without the help of his divine eyes, Yuan Jing knew that the old emperor would not live long, and the fight between the princes was about to enter its most tense moment.

"Cough cough..." The old emperor started coughing.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Young Master Zeng is here."

"Yuan Jing, come here, let me take a good look."

Yuan Jing walked over calmly and stood in front of the old emperor's bed, letting him see enough.
