Chapter 91: You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing your child

The trio reunited. Although Zhao Mingzhu was implicated and could not leave the Eastern Palace, it did not pose a problem for her.

Zhao Mingzhu sat on a high stool, leaning against the wall, and threw a leaf card:

"Gu Yu lost!"

Gu Yu and An Yun sat on the other side of the wall and put down the leaf cards in their hands at the same time.

Gu Yu accepted her fate and closed her eyes. Zhao Mingzhu placed the note on her forehead and giggled, "Seal you, you devil!"

An Yun blew the paper on her nose and said, "Mingzhu, you are biased. Why don't you abuse her but me?"

She lost just now, and Zhao Mingzhu asked her to recite a very embarrassing speech, saying something about a big dare.

Zhao Mingzhu moved her buttocks. She had been sitting for so long that her buttocks felt a little sore.

"You are successful in love, and she is unsuccessful in love, so of course you have to take care of her."

An Yun curled her lips and retorted, "What's so special about being successful in love? They say a woman has one foot in the grave after getting married."

Zhao Mingzhu turned around and asked, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

An Yun immediately changed her words: "It means half a foot into the world of happiness."

Gu Yu slowly tore off the note and said speechlessly: "She lied to you, idiot."

An Yun stood up and looked, and it turned out that he was lying to her!

"Mingzhu, you bad thing."

"Little fool~"

Zhao Mingzhu made a face and then grabbed her face: "Oh, even though our Anzai is a fool, he is cute and lovable."

The advantage of sitting on a high place is that it is very easy to see far away. Zhao Mingzhu turned her back:

"When do you think we'll meet next time?"

Gu Yu peeled an orange, which was full of juice: "Next time."

Zhao Mingzhu looked back and wondered why there was nonsense literature everywhere.

“Is this orange sweet?”

Gu Yu nodded and ate another petal: "Sweet, this is the red orange from Bashu."

Zhao Mingzhu was skeptical, took a small bite, and then stuffed the whole thing into her mouth:

"It really is. It's very sweet. I remember the plum apricots there are delicious too."

"Anzi, do you want to eat? It feels the best when you eat it in big mouthfuls."

An Yun had suffered a loss and shook her head repeatedly.

Gu Yu and Zhao Mingzhu did not try to persuade them, and they almost finished the orange one slice at a time.

Seeing the last petal, An Yun looked at it greedily, reached out to grab it, and put it into her mouth to chew it.

Her expression instantly twisted, her facial features lost, and she quickly spat it out.

“Oh, so sour!”

Zhao Mingzhu laughed heartily, pounding the wall with glee, not forgetting to add insult to injury:

"Anzi, you've been fooled again!"

There was also a smile in Gu Yu's eyes: "I specially asked them to prepare limes."

An Yun clutched her teeth, feeling the sour liquid go down her throat and into her stomach: "You guys... are so mean!"

No, she climbed down the ladder: "I'm going to drink some water, you wait!"

Zhao Mingzhu looked at her back and hissed. She had just eaten too much and her teeth were sore. She looked at Gu Yu:

"You're so patient. I thought you'd just let it go when you saw Anzai."

I didn't expect that she would keep eating.

Gu Yu licked his lips: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child."

"Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own." Zhao Mingzhu muttered.

Then he looked at the garden, where Bo Ling's medicine hut was, and pointed: "Are you really finished?"

Bo Ling didn't look like someone who would give up easily, so Gu Yu nodded lightly.

She didn't say anything, but Bo Ling did cheer up again and continued to come to Changle Palace to find her.

But she didn't see him, and she would never see him privately again.

Zhao Mingzhu sighed after hearing this. She had a good impression of Bo Ling detoxifying her, so she jokingly said:

"You said that Bo Ling is like a kind puppy. Others want him but he doesn't have him yet."

Gu Yu listened to her words, her eyes fell on Bo Ling's residence, and she sneered: "Kind little dog, how do you know if he is a man-eating wolf?"

Zhao Mingzhu was greatly surprised: "No way?"

"It's true that Bo Ling can heal people, but can he become my royal brother's confidant just by knowing some medical skills?"

Gu Yu approached Zhao Mingzhu and smiled evilly: "Then you really should go and see him torture people with poison."

Zhao Mingzhu's teasing smile receded quickly like the tide, and her pearly face looked even whiter in the sunlight.

Seeing her expression, Gu Yu sighed softly: "Are you scared so easily?"

"Does Bo Ling know how to use poison?" Zhao Mingzhu asked.

Gu Yu nodded: "Yes, he is a descendant of the Miaojiang witchcraft. Compared with his medical skills, his poison is rare in the world."

Zhao Mingzhu lowered her head and said nothing. Gu Yu came closer and pushed her. Was she really scared?

But Zhao Mingzhu raised her head with a grimace, and Gu Yu was startled.

Gu Yu glared at her: "You are sick."

Zhao Mingzhu smiled and shook her head: "Thank you for the compliment."

This guy is so shameless that he is beyond help. Gu Yu was about to speak when Zhao Mingzhu stretched and said:

"You guys go back. I've been playing for a long time today and I'm a little tired."

Zhao Mingzhu climbed down the ladder. She took the time to look back and remind him, "Come back tomorrow, or I'll be bored to death."

"By the way, I've never seen Bo Ling before. Where is he hiding to do his work?"

Gu Yu rolled his eyes in response.

"I don't know. He and Changshu often hang out together."

Zhao Mingzhu hummed a little tune and turned left and right before returning to Tingchaoyuan. She asked Qiaoer to prepare half sweet and half savory snacks.

Qiao'er was a little confused after hearing this: "Why are we eating everything mixed up today?"

Normally, the Crown Princess only eats one kind of food, saying that she is afraid of becoming as fat as a grown pig and being dragged to the slaughterhouse if she goes out.

"I calculated with my fingers and it's a good day to eat two meals a day." Zhao Mingzhu sat down and poured herself a cup of scented tea.

At this time, help Shuangyun and Changshu bring back the peonies.

"Princess."

Zhao Mingzhu smiled and nodded. When Changshu passed by her, she asked, "Changshu, who named you or your brother?"

Changshu replied, "Your Highness gave me the name."

Zhao Mingzhu said "Oh" and suddenly asked, "Is that the name of the tree branch too?"

Changshu shook his head: "That's not it, it's Bo Ling."

Zhao Mingzhu pursed her lips, and Changshu suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Crown Princess? Your subordinate..." Changshu was sweating profusely. He had made a big mess!

Qiao'er came up with some snacks and saw Zhao Mingzhu holding up a plate: "Changshu, if you don't want to get yourself into trouble, come with me to find Bo Ling."

Now that things have come to this, the tree should grow.

He followed Zhao Mingzhu to the pharmacy, where Bo Ling, with his face covered in soot, met the two of them.

He was the first to see the snacks and quickly took them and started eating: "Crown Princess, you are really something. You just came, why did you bring anything with you?"

Changshu tried to look at Bo Ling, but he lowered his head and blocked his gaze.

Zhao Mingzhu watched him wolf down his food and asked with a smile, "Bo Ling, His Highness said you are in charge of Fulu Hall and asked me to find you."

Bo Ling blurted out: "What do you want me for?"

Then Changshu looked like he was waiting to die. Bo Ling choked on the snack. He pounded his chest and gulped down a pot of water before he could swallow it.

Zhao Mingzhu knew about this and came to question him. He said, "Ahem, Your Highness, you are talking nonsense. I am only holding this position temporarily."

Changshu: It’s completely over.

Zhao Mingzhu nodded: "First, return the deed to me. Second, return the deed to me."

Looking at Changshu shaking his head at him and looking disheartened, Bo Ling realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He was tricked!

Bo Ling painfully took out the property deed and said weakly, "Crown Princess, it's so hard for us as your subordinates!"

But Zhao Mingzhu ignored his difficulty: "How to remove the poison?"

"This..." Bo Ling swallowed and repeated what he had told Gu Qingheng before.

Zhao Mingzhu took the house deed and left.

Bo Ling turned around and glared at Chang Shu: "You were discovered? Why didn't you warn me?"

Changshu retorted: "I warned you, but you almost blinked. You were so busy eating that you didn't notice anything at all."

"You were discovered first, it's all your fault." Bo Ling looked at the plate of pastries and sat down with despair.

Changshu had no objection to this: "I will go to His Highness to apologize."

Bo Ling slapped his forehead: "What is going on?"

No one would have expected that Zhao Mingzhu usually looked innocent, but when it came to tricking people, she was so unexpected.

He thought that on the day the truth was revealed, at least their children would be running around.

But now...

Changshu dragged him to the study: "Stop shouting, let's go find His Highness."

"Ask His Highness to comfort the Crown Princess more. She doesn't seem like the type to hold grudges."

Bo Ling laughed at this and was too lazy to talk to this wooden man who had never been close to a woman, so he let him drag him to see Gu Qingheng.

He doesn't hold a grudge... He cheated people out of 500 gold, fed them a poisonous insect, and also cheated them out of a house.

If it were him, he would have wanted to kill someone.

Changhe stood in front of the door and looked at them: "His Highness is reading a secret letter. Do you have something to report?"

Changshu asked, "Is the Crown Princess in there?"

Chang He shook his head: "The Crown Princess didn't come to the study, what on earth are you doing here?"

Bo Lingyan lay there, ready to face the storm: "Ask your brother, it was all his fault, I was just innocently implicated."

Changhe frowned and looked at Changshu: "What happened?"

Changshu organized his words and said hesitantly, "The Crown Princess knows that I am a branch."

"She also knows that I sold her the poisonous insect from Fulu Hall, and that I tricked her into buying a house in the capital." Bo Ling added.

Chang He was so disappointed that he said, "You! How could you let the Crown Princess know about this!"

"Now His Highness..."

The door creaked open, and Gu Qingheng's face was as gloomy as water, which made the three of them feel a chill down their spines.

He was angry.

"Where's the Crown Princess?"

Changshu said stubbornly, "We should be back at Tingchaoyuan."
