Chapter 528 How to Capture the Crown Prince? Food, and More Food (2/2)



The teacher was giving a lesson, and Pang You sat in the first row, looking focused and attentive, actively asking questions.

This scoundrel is determined and resolute. He studies so hard not only to fulfill his own life, but also to deal with the Qiao family.

However, according to the space manager, she wanted to eliminate these people through fair and square means, rather than "cheating" by using the invisibility function.

Qiao Lian'er felt complicated whenever she thought about it.

However, a little effort is fine, those damned people, she'll send them to their doom sooner or later.

Qiao Lian'er decided to start by offering food as a way to capture the Crown Prince.

However, she couldn't deliver food to the Eastern Palace; that would be too obvious. Besides, aside from banquets and the like, the emperor disliked his ministers getting too close to each other.

Fortunately, she had an invisibility ability, and Qiao Lian'er tracked him into the East Palace. Finally, she encountered Chu Yaoce about to leave.

There was a large horse farm in the western suburbs of the capital, which was run by a wealthy merchant. It housed fine horses from all over the country, and the entrance fee was very expensive. Only nobles or rich people could go there to ride horses.

The crown prince was modest and refined, but horseback riding was one of his great hobbies, and he would go every three to five days.

Qiao Lian'er also went horseback riding.

Now that she holds a business empire in her hands, this exorbitant entry fee is nothing more than a drop in the ocean for her.

Because of his special status, the Second Prince had reserved one of the quiet racecourses for himself. The entrance was heavily guarded, so no one else could get in.

But Qiao Lian'er doesn't need to go in "openly and honestly".

Wearing an invisibility cloak, I walked straight in through the door, leaving a slight breeze in my wake.

The guards here are all top-notch experts. They sensed the wind and saw that Zhu Ye was not moving. They immediately gripped the sword at their waist and looked around warily.

However, they found nothing, which puzzled them.

Someone went into the racecourse for a look but found nothing unusual.

Others were checking the situation around the outer wall.

Seeing their vigilance, Qiao Lian'er thought to herself, "Don't be fooled by the Crown Prince's gentle and refined demeanor; he's actually extremely cautious."

Chu Yaoce had already climbed onto the horse's back and began to ride slowly. Then, he flicked the reins and galloped away, faster and faster, like lightning.

His movements were extremely nimble and agile, like a capable and decisive young emperor.

Qiao Lian'er crossed her arms, watched for a while, and then went into the private tea room.

Tea and snacks were already laid out on the tea table, the aroma of tea wafting through the air, and the sweets smelling delightful. An old man was carefully preparing them on the side.

This old man looks familiar; he seems to be Chu Yaoce's personal attendant.

Qiao Lian'er sprinkled something on a handkerchief and quietly placed it on the old man's nose.

The old man was bewildered. He felt short of breath and dizzy. After struggling for a moment, he passed out.

"Oh, old man, I'm so sorry," Qiao Lian'er said, pulling the man aside to apologize.

Chu Yaoce had ridden for a while, so he dismounted to rest.

His handsome face was slightly flushed and covered in a thin layer of sweat. Even before he entered the room, he asked, "Uncle Chang, is the tea ready?"

He heard no response and couldn't help but wonder. From childhood to adulthood, Uncle Chang had always been very attentive and responsible to him, always listening attentively. This had never happened before.

He sensed something was amiss and became alert, reaching for the short sword at his waist.

He tiptoed into the inner tea room and saw a figure sitting at the tea table. On the table were a plate of red-skinned fruit and a plate of roasted durian.

Chang Bo lay quietly to one side.
