If the Crown Prince knew what Consort Hesheli was thinking, he would definitely scoff. Did Consort Hesheli think that her father trusted him too much?

The Emperor's concubines always meet with him, the Crown Prince. Do they think he's living too long?

Doesn't Consort Hesheli know what it means to avoid suspicion? If it weren't for his mother's sake, he wouldn't have met Consort Hesheli today.

What a brainless man! If he didn't know that Consort Hesheli was his mother's sister, he would have suspected that Consort Hesheli was a spy sent by someone else.

"Consort, they are all my brothers. You are overthinking it!" The Crown Prince didn't say much, but simply stated his attitude.

Consort Hesheli was very anxious when she saw how much the Crown Prince trusted the First Prince and his brothers. "Your Highness, although you treat them as brothers, they may not treat you as brothers."

Even assuming they don't have ulterior motives, what about the people behind them? They might start to have second thoughts themselves, after all, everyone looks out for themselves!

The Crown Prince remained silent, feeling that he shouldn't have met this concubine. To paraphrase He Xue, he must have been out of his mind back then, and he didn't even know if He Xue had entered the palace.

Seeing that the Crown Prince remained silent, Consort Hesheli assumed that he had taken her words to heart and continued, "Your Highness, you are now approaching the age to marry a Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess's family background must not be too low; she will be an asset to you in the future, not a burden!

"I've heard that you're paying extra attention to Suhetai's daughter. I think it's unnecessary. Suhetai's daughter is still young; no one can control what happens to her in the future!"

When Consort Hesheli mentioned Hexue, the Crown Prince's face was beyond dark. Unfortunately, Consort Hesheli didn't notice the Crown Prince's expression at all and kept trying to persuade him.

When He Xue arrived at the Crown Prince's study, she saw that the door was closed. She knew that the Crown Prince's desk was next to the window, so she bent down and walked towards the window.

She went to the window, just about to stand up and scare the prince, when she heard a voice coming from inside. Upon closer listening, she realized it was a woman's voice. She was quite curious and wondered who was in the prince's study.

"Even if you get closer to Suhetai's daughter, Suhetai will not provide you with any assistance. Suhetai is only loyal to the Emperor."

So you shouldn't waste your energy on Suhetai's daughter!

He Xue was stunned by Consort Hesheli's words, and was completely dumbfounded, looking somewhat lost and disoriented. "Was all the kindness my brother Crown Prince showed her before just to take advantage of me?"

He Xue's mind was in complete chaos. She didn't want to see the Crown Prince anymore. She had left Xia Bing and Nan Xing at the door when she came over. All she wanted to do now was leave Yuqing Palace.

On the way, Xue encountered He Zhu, who was rushing over.

When He Zhu saw He Xue like this, he thought that He Xue and the Crown Prince had quarreled!

But then he thought about it and realized something was wrong. Given how much his Crown Prince valued Princess He Xue, even if Princess He Xue wanted the moon, the Crown Prince would definitely find a way to get it for her. So he definitely wouldn't quarrel with Princess He Xue. What was going on?

"May Princess He Xue be blessed with good fortune!"

He Xue looked up and saw that it was He Zhu. She handed the cross-stitch to He Zhu and said, "He Zhu, please give this to the Crown Prince for me!"

He Zhu took the cross-stitch. "Yes, Princess! Princess, haven't you seen His Highness the Crown Prince?"

He Zhu felt this shouldn't be the case, since the Crown Prince was in his study.

"I have something to do, so I'll head back first!" After saying that, He Xue walked straight out of Yuqing Palace.
