The Fourth Prince had completely lost control, shouting and berating, but neither the Crown Prince nor Xiao Jingying paid him any attention.

The Crown Prince said, "Then I'll go first."

The prince couldn't get the arrows himself, so he politely asked someone for help, but no one paid him any attention.

Helpless, the crown prince could only sit in the wooden wheelchair bestowed by the emperor, turning the wheels with some effort, and raising his hand high before finally getting an arrow.

Then, he walked over unhurriedly and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I'm not feeling well, how about we play a game?"

Xiao Jingying gave him a look that said, "Go ahead."

Without hesitation, the prince threw the bottle directly at the jar.

He didn't throw at the top of the list, but at the middle, following the rules, and he hit the target.

Next, as long as Xiao Jingying hits either the left or right ear, or like him, hits the center, he can't lose.

The fourth prince's face had turned ashen; he felt that the crown prince simply wanted to hand over the Grand Council.

Xiao Jingying also began to have doubts at this point. He didn't think that this crown prince would be so stupid.

But there's no reason not to take something that's given away for free.

Little did he know that Minghe, who had been standing beside him, was silently clenching her hands.

Xiao Jingying couldn't possibly miss this shot.

But this time, he was a little more serious.

He even held the arrow in his hand, aiming it at the pot, but in his heart he was thinking, maybe I should just give up.

It's just the Military Affairs Department; he can take it later.

Originally, he only came here today to scare Minghe, but now he's had enough.

Just as Xiao Jingying was about to stop, Minghe suddenly seemed to trip and fall, crashing directly into him.

The arrow, which seemed to be about to be thrown, was knocked to the ground.

With a "thud,"

The entire casino fell silent.

Xiao Jingying instinctively caught Minghe's body, looked at the arrow that had fallen to the ground, and then looked at Minghe with disbelief.

"Your Highness!" Minghe trembled as she looked into his eyes. "This servant only... accidentally..."

As soon as Minghe finished speaking, Xiao Jingying grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the ground.

He wanted to kill Minghe.

Kill him!

Everyone was stunned and still hasn't recovered from what just happened.

Anyone with eyes can see that the lackey did it on purpose.

What does that prove? It only proves that this servant had long been colluding with the Crown Prince.

The fourth prince laughed, a laugh that was both relieved and chilling.

Everyone just stood there, watching Xiao Jingying choke the servant, watching the servant lie on the ground convulsing, his face flushed.

If you strangle him, and then give him to the crown prince, it's the same thing.

Tears welled up in Minghe's eyes, her gaze became unfocused, and she could no longer see people clearly.

But just as he was about to be strangled to death, Xiao Jingying, who had gone mad, suddenly softened.

He released his grip, knelt down in front of Minghe, looked at her, and laughed maniacally.

Minghe escaped death and crawled until she reached the Crown Prince's feet.

Even the Crown Prince doesn't dare to touch Minghe now.

"Your Highness!" Xiao Shan suddenly entered, and was terrified by the scene before him. "The old master... is looking for you."

Minghe dared not look at Xiao Jingying, and simply knelt facing the Crown Prince.

Xiao Jin won.

The others also dispersed.

Only the Fourth Prince remained, clapping and laughing, praising the Crown Prince profusely, "Crown Prince, Crown Prince, I really underestimated you! Tsk tsk, tell me, among all the civil and military officials, who could make Xiao Jingying so embarrassed? You are truly capable! Truly capable!"

Minghe helped the Crown Prince to his feet, coughed twice, and said, "Your Highness, you probably know that my Crown Prince doesn't swear. How can he be so tactless?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's expression immediately changed.

In the end, the fourth prince could only turn and leave.

Minghe looked at the Crown Prince and smiled.

The crown prince looked at the servant who could still laugh and was really puzzled. He asked him, "Aren't you afraid?"

“I was scared,” Minghe laughed, “but isn’t it all in the past now?”

That's all in the past...

Minghe held his hand and whispered, "Things will only get better from now on."

The crown prince smiled and said, "Alright."

Minghe knew that his relationship with the Crown Prince was not innocent either.

The Crown Prince was willing to help him only to avenge himself, and he was willing to follow the Crown Prince only to negotiate for his freedom.

However, the Prince's Mansion has yet to send over Minghe's indenture.

In this situation, you either have to ask for it in person or go to court.

But how could a prince or a nobleman possibly cause such a commotion to the emperor because of a servant's indenture?

Therefore, this matter had to be abandoned.

The Crown Prince laughed and said, "I didn't know that Xiao Jingying was such a scoundrel."

Minghe laughed as well: "He was never a good person to begin with."

The crown prince propped his head up and looked at him. "Minghe, do you like bad guys?"

“…” Minghe didn’t know what to say, and after thinking for a while, she finally said, “I don’t dislike him.”

Crown Prince: "So, it's like you don't dislike me?"

Minghe: "Perhaps, but I've known him for a bit longer, so there's bound to be a slight difference."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince laughed immediately. "So, you're missing your former master?"

“No,” Minghe shrugged. “I’ve never really wanted to be someone’s servant. I miss my old masters.”

The Crown Prince laughed again, then looked at the sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain today... Minghe, can you wait for me at the palace gate today, just like you waited for Xiao Jingying back then?"

Minghe didn't know why he wanted to compete with Xiao Jingying, but she thought it might just be to provoke Xiao Jingying.

Minghe had already received his favor, so naturally she would listen to him.

And so, on this day, Minghe waited quietly at the palace gate, holding an umbrella.

The guards at the gate already recognized him, but what they didn't know was that the person Minghe was waiting for today was no longer that person.

As Xiao Jingying emerged from the palace, he immediately spotted Minghe waiting there.

Minghe was still holding an umbrella, but it wasn't for him.

Xiao Jingying knew, but still walked towards him.

Minghe hadn't expected him to walk towards her, so she instinctively took a step back, stood there, bowed her head, and called out to him, "Your Highness."

The single word "Your Highness" immediately created a distance between the two.

Xiao Jingying finally stopped.

He just stood there, and the carriage was parked not far away.

The servant standing next to him swallowed hard, but dared not say anything.
