Chapter 77 You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child

When Shangguan Huai saw her, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed.

The woman smiled at Shangguan Huai and waved the candied haws in her hand at him.

Shangguan Huai looked at her lovingly.

Seeing that Shangguan Sui had been silent for a long time, Xiao Ziyuan approached and asked, "What's wrong, Fifth Princess? Did something happen?"

Shangguan Sui blinked.

"Nothing happened, just..."

"I think I'm going to have a third sister-in-law soon."

Xiao Ziyuan frowned slightly and glanced outside.

There was no emotion on his handsome and childish face, as if he had known it for a long time.

Shangguan Sui frowned, "You knew this a long time ago?"

Xiao Ziyuan nodded.

"I've met her twice before. The Third Prince often takes her out to play."

Shangguan Sui's face was full of curiosity. "Then do you know who she is?"

Xiao Ziyuan blinked his long eyelashes, recalling the news Wu Zhu had delivered a few days ago.

"That woman's name is He Bixiao, and she is a disciple of Mount Emei."

"She came back from Mount Emei with the Third Prince."

Crane Bixiao...

Hearing this name, Shangguan Sui's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

[How could it be her...]

[I never thought that even though the plot had deviated so much, they could still meet and fall in love.]

[In the original book, their love story was very tortuous, and they didn't end up together...]

Shangguan Sui looked at the two people with affection in their eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

[But He Bixiao's background meant that it would be difficult for them to be together...]

[I also want to help Brother San, but I really need to think carefully about this matter.]

After sending Shangguan Sui back to the palace, Xiao Ziyuan also immediately returned to the Princess's Mansion.

"Mom, I'm back."

When Song heard the voice, she immediately put down the brush in her hand and her expression became very gentle.

She stood up and walked towards Xiao Ziyuan.

Song was wearing a sapphire blue silk dress today, and her black hair was tied up in an exquisite bun.

Her complexion was very rosy and she walked with a light step.

The gold hairpin on her head swayed gently with her movements, making a clear and pleasant sound.

You can tell at a glance that he's been having a good time recently.

Xiao Ziyuan said, "Mother, I have something I want to ask you."

Song smiled, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ziyuan told the whole story of Shangguan Sui's plan to open a women's medical school.

Song just heard it and agreed immediately without any hesitation.

"Tell the Fifth Princess tomorrow that I will take care of this matter."

Post station.

Xiao Yun took the spiral ink and drew her eyebrows in front of the mirror.

After finishing her makeup, she looked at herself in the mirror carefully.

Hsiao Yun curls her lips in satisfaction.

She is really beautiful.

How could the Third Prince possibly reject such a charming and beautiful woman like her?

The maid Chun'er came closer and bowed slightly.

"Miss, I have already found out about Miss He's background that you asked me to look up."

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up and he urged, "What did you find out? Tell me quickly."

Chun'er nodded and reported in detail.

"He Bixiao's biological father was called He Kongshan. Sixteen years ago, he was the governor of the southwest. He made a mistake and was killed by the emperor."

"At that time, because it was the Queen Mother's birthday, the Emperor spared the family of Hekong Mountain, so He Bixiao did not die. Later, no one knows what happened, she actually went to Mount Emei."

Xiao Yun raised her eyebrows.

She remembered that this incident also appeared in the original book.

He Bixiao later learned about her own life experience, and she knew that her father He Kongshan had indeed made a mistake.

But she really couldn't do it and continue to be with the son of her father's murderer without any grudges.

In the end, He Bixiao returned to Mount Emei alone.

A year later, during the rebellion of Zhenbei Hou, Shangguan Huai was also killed by Shangguan Lin.

Xiao Yun's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her mind began to think frantically.

Now the plot development is different from the original book.

What if He Bixiao didn't know his own life experience like in the original book?

Even if she was sure of winning the Third Prince's favor, the Third Prince was currently in love with He Bixiao.

There is really no place to display my charm.

No, she must tell He Bixiao her life story.

In this case, He Bixiao will definitely choose to leave the Third Prince.

The Third Prince will surely be heartbroken by then, and if she takes advantage of this opportunity, she will surely be able to capture the Third Prince in one fell swoop!

Xiao Yun's lips curled up, and he already had an idea in mind.

At this moment, the sound of golden clouds cracking was heard outside the door.

Before she could answer, Jin Yunlie pushed the door open.

Jin Yunlie sat down at the table with a frown on his face. "Get up."

Xiao Yun asked, "Fifth Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Jin Yunlie took a deep breath, his eyes still full of disbelief.

"For some reason, the spy we planted in the harem of Dayue Kingdom was discovered! How can I not be anxious?"

Xiao Yun slowly poured a cup of tea for Jin Yunlie.

"Fifth Prince, don't worry. Since you are afraid that Cai Zhen will reveal too much, why not just kill her directly?"

"She was just detained in the Ministry of Punishment today. I guess she hasn't gotten anything out of him yet."

"If you don't kill him now, it will be too late to kill him later."

Jin Yun's long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow under his eyes.

"I have considered what you said, but the only spy we have left in the harem of Dayue Kingdom is a little eunuch."

"If he is exposed for killing Caizhen, then we will really be left with no one in the harem of Dayue Kingdom."

"You know, it's very strenuous to place our people in the harem of Dayue Kingdom!"

Xiao Yun curled her lips slightly, "Your Highness, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."

night.

Shangguan Lin came to the Concubine Chen's palace to have meals as usual.

Seeing that Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Sui had almost finished eating, Concubine Chen spoke up and talked about Cai Zhen.

"Your Majesty, today Concubine De caught a maid stealing things in her palace."

Shangguan Lin drank the tea nonchalantly.

The voice was calm: "She is just a maid who stole something. Give her a dozen lashes and throw her out of the palace."

The Concubine Chen did not answer, but continued slowly.

"That maid, named Caizhen, is most likely a spy from the Yuan Dynasty."

After much thought, the Concubine Chen decided that the matter of Cai Zhen concerned both countries, so she had to tell Shangguan Lin the truth.

Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Sui looked up at the same time when they heard this.

Shangguan Lin:?! Traitor!

Shangguan Sui was very surprised, and his almond-shaped eyes became sparkling.

[Wow, my mother is awesome! She actually caught Caizhen! ]

The Concubine Chen nodded and continued speaking slowly.

"Caizhen has admitted that she is a spy, but she has not revealed a word about other things."

Shangguan Lin snorted, "You are really loyal to the Yuan Kingdom."

Shangguan Sui sipped his bird's nest and snow pear tea while thinking about the plot of Cai Zhen.

[In the original book, Caizhen framed Concubine De for practicing witchcraft, and then went to report Concubine De.]

[Dad was furious and killed Concubine De. After Concubine De died, she never appeared again.]

Shangguan Lin's eyes widened when he heard this.

What? He killed Concubine De!
