Meanwhile, on the other side.

The wolf suddenly disappeared, and the people in the store were terrified. The news was even sent to a luxurious mansion.

"What did you say?!"

In the audience, the crown prince, Zong Zhengyu, slammed the table and stood up, his voice stern with anger.

That was a purebred war wolf that he had captured from Kunlun Mountain after spending enormous manpower and material resources. Over the past few years, he had spent huge amounts of money and effort to raise this ferocious beast.

This is his pet, but also a symbol of his power, status, and the king who sweeps away everything.

The servant knelt on the ground in fear, trembling all over, "Prince, spare my life... Your servant, your servant..."

"Report——"

At this time, a soldier-like man rushed in from outside the door.

"Your Highness, I think I saw your war wolf carrying a woman out of the city two quarters of an hour ago. The woman was ugly and looked like...Princess Chen."

Zong Zhengyu's eyes darkened.

Princess Chen.

Zong Zhengchen!

Just as he was about to speak, a middle-aged man in a brown robe spoke calmly:

"That wolf is ferocious by nature, and it might eat Princess Chen. It is not a pity for Princess Chen to die. If the wolf escapes, it will be difficult to catch it again. Let it run away."

He is the right prime minister of the current dynasty - Gong Zhenhong from the Gong family.

Zong Zhengyu frowned, his face grim:

"At the celebration banquet, Prince Chen provoked me, and today he provoked my Wolf Warrior again. If I let this matter go, won't he be so presumptuous as to jump over my head next time?"

The voice is extremely cold.

Compared to the Crown Prince's coldness, Gong Youxiang was much calmer, with a cold expression on his face:

"King Chen never does anything without preparation. Since he dares to provoke you, he must have something on you."

Zong Zhengyu suddenly remembered the night after the celebration banquet, when he sent someone to assassinate him...

The killer has not returned yet, he must have been caught by King Chen.

But his wolf...

"I can't swallow this!"

"You have to swallow it even if you can't." Gong Youxiang raised his eyes. "Prince Chen just returned from a victorious battle. The people are in high spirits and he has won the emperor's heart. However, his biological mother died young and his mother's family has no power. He is just favored by the emperor. He is just a small insignificant person and can't make any waves."

Zong Zheng lowered his eyes and slowly clenched his hands.

How dare you, little bastard, challenge his authority as the crown prince!

This account must be settled!

.

Chen Palace.

When Qin Ye came back, it was already afternoon. She happily skipped back home, and when she learned that the prince was in Mingyue Pavilion, she ran over happily.

"Your Majesty~~~"

The voice arrives before the person arrives.

Inside the house.

When Xiao Zhihua saw the woman running towards him, his eyes dimmed. He suddenly stroked his chest and coughed twice, pretending to be weak.

Qin Ye glanced at her:

——The complexion is pale, but the eyes are bright, and the blood color of four important acupoints such as the temples and cheeks is also very good, which clearly indicates that the body is in good health.

——It was she who jumped into the lake to save Zong Zhengchen, and it was also she who fell ill with a cold. How come this fake top-notch person is still so weak?

——There’s no need to pretend to be sick like this. Aren’t you afraid that the fake illness will become real if you keep pretending?

Zong Zhengchen's gaze towards Xiao Zhihua suddenly became complicated.

Over the years, he had always thought that she was delicate and weak, a white lotus in the wind, lovable and in need of care, but he seemed to have never really seen through her...

"Sister Princess... cough, cough... How come you have time to come here today?"

Xiao Zhihua covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed weakly.
