Chapter 1605: A chill in the prince's heart
Because she cares too much.
She cared about the prince's evaluation of her and her image in the prince's mind, fearing even the slightest flaw.
"I didn't say anything. I explained it to Madam Shao in detail, telling her that it would be much better for Lord Shao to stay in the capital than to be sent out. I just tried to persuade him with kind words, asking Madam Shao to persuade him to give up the idea. I don't know how it could have been spread like that. My Lord, don't you know what kind of person I am..."
The prince looked at her intently, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
He suddenly said, "You accused Qiao of being selfish, unvirtuous and jealous, and even mentioned the incident of her being abducted. But is that true?"
The Crown Princess paused and subconsciously wanted to refute.
The prince said, "Shao Qing has already told me, Princess, please don't lie to me. If even you lie to me, I don't know if there is anyone around me I can trust..."
These words sounded like a sigh, and were filled with unspeakable sadness. The Crown Princess felt a pain in her heart, and she didn't know whether she should be happy that the Crown Prince trusted her, or sad that he would ask her this.
But she couldn't say anything to refute it.
"I, I was so angry with Qiao that I lost my mind—"
"So you really said that?"
"Yes...but, but this cannot be blamed on me. Mrs. Qiao's words were so infuriating! She didn't care about my dignity as the Crown Princess at all. Those words really hurt my heart! My Lord, you know that I have always been kind to others. I don't know why Mrs. Qiao was so crazy!"
"This is the first time someone has made me so angry!"
The prince was skeptical: "What did she say?"
The Crown Princess originally didn't want to say it, because saying it out loud would really make her look useless!
But at this point, I have no choice but to say it.
The Crown Princess' face turned red, and she spoke the story one by one while suppressing her embarrassment. The Crown Prince was also a little angry.
That Qiao family really went too far.
The Crown Princess was right in one thing; she really didn't understand the distinction between superiors and subordinates.
The prince's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think again, Qiao and Shao Qing have always been a loving couple. Qiao dared to say this, could it be that this was Shao Qing's intention?
Yes, most likely...
The prince felt a chill in his heart and was secretly sad.
This means that Shao Qing and I have become alienated, and he is no longer willing to work for me or be loyal to me.
The prince was sad and depressed, yet also felt an incomprehensible sense of powerlessness.
Isn't the Qiao family fine? No real harm has happened, and even their reputation hasn't been damaged in the slightest. Isn't it respectable enough to comfort them personally? Just for this, you are so stubborn!
How could he remain indifferent when his fourth brother saved his grandson's life? If he was truly indifferent, then what would he become?
This matter could have been resolved with the best of both worlds, why did it have to come to this?
The Crown Princess looked at him secretly and saw that the Crown Prince looked unhappy. He was obviously thinking about this matter in a daze - he was not blaming herself, but he also had some opinions about Qiao Xuan.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and boldly said, "My Lord, there is a saying among the people that 'people who leave cannot be retained'. Since Lord Shao is determined to leave, why don't you just help him?"
"He went out for a walk and hit a wall. Naturally, he thought of the benefits of staying in Beijing and the painstaking efforts of the prince to keep him."
