Reborn as the Doted Child Bride of the Deposed Crown Prince

He Xue, a modern woman with a keen interest in Qing Dynasty history, felt regret over the fate of the deposed Crown Prince, believing he didn't deserve such an end. If given the chance, she was...

Chapter 406 Tana's Resolve

Everyone who heard He Xue's words suppressed their laughter, after all, the Eighth Prince was right in front of them, and they still had to give him some face.

But the First Prince didn't care about the Eighth Prince's feelings at all, and laughed loudly, "He Xue is right, he's just too idle!"

Seeing He Zhu still standing there dumbfounded, the Crown Prince's expression changed: "He Zhu, do you not want to be the Grand Eunuch anymore? From now on, everyone in Yuqing Palace will listen to the Crown Princess, and I will listen to the Crown Princess too!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me, I will go right away!" He Zhu hurriedly apologized. He really didn't disobey the Crown Princess, but he just didn't realize what was happening for a moment.

The Eighth Prince's face turned red and white as He Xue spoke. "He Xue, I meant well! I'm reminding you because of the friendship we had when we were young, because I saw Second Brother wearing it on someone else's hand."

I was so angry at the time that I accidentally broke it. I specially prepared a pair, hoping you and my second brother can accept them!

As he spoke, the Eighth Prince presented a box to He Xue, looking at her with great sincerity, hoping that she would accept it.

The group, who had been laughing and joking, suddenly fell silent. What was the Eighth Prince trying to do? Was he trying to sow discord between the Crown Prince and He Xue? He was giving the Crown Prince and He Xue a token of their betrothal; if He Xue accepted it, to whom would it be considered a token of betrothal?

Is the Crown Prince really that stingy, giving away the token of love he gave to He Xue to someone else? Couldn't he have prepared a new one?

"Your Highness, Your Highness's Consort, please forgive us. Our master was injured last night and may not have fully recovered his senses yet!" Tana said to the Crown Prince and He Xue.

If she had known that the Eighth Prince was there to sabotage the relationship between the Crown Prince and He Xue, she would have stopped him from entering the palace no matter what.

"Tana, this is none of your business. Go back!" The Eighth Prince looked at Tana with slight displeasure.

Not wanting to put Tana in a difficult position, He Xue smiled and said to her, "It's alright, we won't take anything the Eighth Prince says to heart!"

At that moment, a thought in Tana's mind was confirmed: she was a woman, and women's intuition is sometimes very accurate. She knew that the Eighth Prince had someone he liked, but she didn't expect it to be Xue.

Although the Eighth Prince hid his gaze towards He Xue very well, it ultimately betrayed him.

She initially thought that the Eighth Prince was forced into marriage like her, and she felt deep sympathy for him. She planned to ask him who he liked after some time, and then personally petition the Emperor to allow him to marry that person.

She always tried her best to be a good wife to the Eighth Prince, to be filial to Consort Liang, and to be considerate and understanding towards the Eighth Prince!

But now it seems that the Eighth Prince is not worth it at all. He Xue has already married the Crown Prince, and the Eighth Prince's actions will only bring trouble to He Xue.

She has no feelings for the Eighth Prince and will not fall out with He Xue because of him. Even if she does have feelings for the Eighth Prince, she will not hold a grudge against He Xue.

She could also see that the Crown Prince truly disliked the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince was always jumping around in front of the Crown Prince, and she wondered when the Crown Prince would deal with him. She believed that with her relationship with He Xue, she would definitely not be implicated. At that time, she would be the most powerful person in the mansion.

However, she still hoped that the Eighth Prince would be more ambitious and try to improve his status before the Crown Prince dealt with him. She didn't want to remain a bald prince's wife forever.

He Xue sensed the Crown Prince's anger rising rapidly, and she grasped his hand, "Crown Prince, I believe in you!"

The prince slowly loosened his clenched hands.

[When men get into a green tea b*tch, women are nothing! The Eighth Prince is such a big green tea!] He Xue complained helplessly. [Didn't you see the Crown Prince already explode? Why are you still jumping around like that!]

[He Xue knows I'm angry. Could I ask her to comfort me tonight?] The Crown Prince thought to himself with delight.

He Xue noticed that the Crown Prince had suddenly become very happy again, and was very puzzled. "What's going on?"

"Second Brother, aren't you going to explain this to everyone?" The Eighth Prince continued to press for an explanation, seeing that He Xue wasn't as angry as he had expected.

The Crown Prince sneered: "How could the token of love between me and Xue have ended up in someone else's hands! Eighth Brother, you wouldn't have gotten another fake, would you!"

That was a token of love between me and Hexue. There was only one pair in the world. I planned to put it on Hexue myself on our wedding night, but I was too anxious that night and forgot about it!

"If my eighth brother hadn't mentioned it today, I almost forgot to give it to He Xue! I should thank my eighth brother for reminding me!"

He Xue smiled and echoed, "I am also very grateful to the Eighth Prince. I am truly moved that the Eighth Prince was able to put aside his own family ties and expose my brother, the Crown Prince! Thank you!"

The Eighth Prince's face darkened further. He hadn't expected Xue to be so indifferent, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond. The Crown Prince was even teasing him about what happened last night!

[A fake? What fake?] He Xue was very curious. [What's the Crown Prince in such a hurry? In a hurry to get to the bridal chamber?]

The Crown Prince turned to look at He Xue, "Of course I'm eager to get into the bridal chamber! What else would I be in such a rush on our wedding night?"

He Xue noticed that the Crown Prince was looking at her, and gave him a reproachful look.

The Crown Prince looked at He Xue with doting eyes and smiled affectionately.
