Su Yujiao patiently explained, "It's better to carry it with you at all times."
"Recently, a notorious womanizer has infiltrated the capital, specializing in torturing and killing wealthy and powerful women."
“Those young ladies also had guards and servants to protect them, but they still met with misfortune.”
"The most crucial point is that the serial killer has not been caught yet and is still at large."
"So it's better to be cautious."
"I can wear this vest directly underneath, since it's winter now and I'm not afraid of getting hot."
"The bracelet is also very convenient to wear on your wrist."
"The dagger and spray can both be put in a pocket and don't take up much space."
"If you can't carry this stun gun with you all the time, hide it by your bedside and keep it somewhere you can easily reach it."
"Or you can hang it around your waist; it won't look bad if it's covered by a skirt."
When the two little princesses heard that a serial killer had appeared in the capital, and that their cousin-in-law was so seriously preparing weapons for them to defend themselves, they immediately became nervous.
In the next room, Lu Ziqian also told the Crown Prince the whole story, and the Crown Prince's face was gloomy and serious.
"This was prepared by your cousin-in-law. When you get back, give one to everyone and say..."
"You should also carry these self-defense weapons with you at all times."
The crown prince expressed his gratitude with the gifts, then hurriedly returned to the palace with his two younger sisters.
At this point, potatoes and hot pot were no longer important; the safety of my sister and mother was far more crucial.
"Brother, my cousin-in-law said that a serial killer has appeared in the capital, who specializes in murdering daughters of officials. She has given us a lot of weapons for self-defense."
The Crown Prince nodded: "Indeed, the self-defense item given by my cousin-in-law must be kept close to my body."
"And do not tell anyone around you how these things are used; you must not tell anyone."
"Even personal maids and wet nurses are not allowed."
The two little princesses nodded in agreement, realizing the seriousness of the situation; it seemed that the serial killer was truly terrifying.
My cousin's wife gave me all sorts of good stuff; no one had ever seen it before, and no one knew what it did.
So even if you wear it on your body, no one will notice, which is why these things can save your life in critical moments.
Otherwise, the thieves would have disposed of these defensive weapons before taking them in.
Then my cousin's advice became meaningless.
"Have you all remembered the usage that your cousin-in-law taught you?"
"Hmm, but I wonder how powerful it is?"
The Crown Prince said with certainty, "The things my cousin-in-law gave me are quite extraordinary."
"You should also be careful not to hurt yourselves."
"Um."
The Crown Prince had already learned from Lu Ziqian that Su Yujiao possessed some special abilities.
But the fact that she can dream of predicting the future is quite extraordinary.
Upon returning to the palace, the Crown Prince immediately went to see the Empress and dismissed everyone else, including the Empress's confidants, leaving only the mother and son.
"What happened? Why are you being so cautious?"
"Mother, do you know what's so special about my cousin-in-law?"
The Empress nodded: "I've heard your aunt talk about the dragon robe and Weiwei."
"And there was the time she took out the marriage certificate to help Weiwei out of a predicament."
"All of this proves that she has some extraordinary qualities."
"My mother originally wanted her to marry you, but she refused."
"At the time, the Empress Dowager felt it was a bit of a pity, but she was also afraid that Consort Jing and her son would take advantage of the situation."
"She said no, even an imperial edict couldn't do anything to her."
"She is the true Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, and the Emperor cannot force a marriage between them."
"Only then was the Empress Dowager relieved."
"But it's a good thing that she can reconcile with Qian'er now. These two children still have feelings for each other, and after all the ups and downs, they will eventually come together."
The Crown Prince listened patiently to the Empress before speaking: "My cousin said that all of my cousin's sister-in-law's amazing abilities lie in her ability to have precognitive dreams, which is why she was able to stop those calamities in advance."
"My cousin's wife had another dream last night."
“She dreamed that her son made a mistake and was deposed as crown prince and imprisoned in the deep palace, her two younger sisters were raped and murdered, her mother lost her children and was driven insane, and Consort Jing and her son succeeded and became the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.”
"What?" The Empress's face turned pale, she swayed, and almost fainted.
The Crown Prince immediately supported the Empress: "Mother, don't be afraid. Now that we knew in advance, we won't let this happen."
"This matter is definitely related to that mother and child."
"The fact that they were able to kidnap someone on the day of the princess's coming-of-age ceremony must have been done by someone close to her."
"These are Buddhist prayer beads given to me by my cousin; they contain a hidden secret."
As the prince spoke, he took out a string of Buddhist prayer beads engraved with scriptures from his pocket. Each bead was strung with a red cord so that it could be worn around the neck.
What secret is hidden here?
What is its purpose?
After the Crown Prince explained, the Empress exclaimed in amazement at the miracle.
That night, the Empress suffered a splitting headache and even fainted. The Crown Prince summoned the entire Imperial Hospital.
The Empress remained unconscious, and even Su Yujiao could not revive her.
Therefore, the Crown Prince and the Princess invited a master to chant scriptures and pray for the Empress, and the two Princesses even personally copied the scriptures with their own blood.
After that, the Crown Prince distributed red strings with Buddhist prayer beads to all the servants in the palace, instructing them to wear them around their necks and to sincerely recite scriptures and pray for the Empress every day.
Actually, it contains a recording device.
They were not to be removed without his order, until the Queen awoke.
This request is not excessive at all; in fact, it is a manifestation of the Crown Prince's filial piety.
Moreover, all the concubines in the palace had to cooperate; anyone who dared to refuse was considered disrespectful to the Empress.
Although the empress was out of favor, her status was still undeniable!
Even if Consort Jing was favored by the emperor, she could not wear bright red or a phoenix hairpin!
These are the rules set by our ancestors; who dares to disobey them?
Only after arranging all this did the Crown Prince breathe a sigh of relief. He hoped it would work and that the thieves would be caught soon so he could feel at ease.
As for Jin Mudan, she has rarely entered the palace recently, as she has devoted herself entirely to Mo Lingchen.
Two days ago, Mo Lingchen's grandmother fell ill. The imperial physician was summoned to see her, and it was said that she was old and her time was coming soon.
Mo Lingchen was not giving up and went to ask Su Yujiao again, but the result was the same.
Mo Lingchen's mother died early, and his father married the daughter of a high-ranking official in order to climb the social ladder.
A stepmother is naturally different from a biological mother.
Therefore, Mo Lingchen was raised by his grandmother when he was young, and was only brought to the Mo family after he achieved some success in his studies.
Therefore, Mo Lingchen could not accept that his grandmother was about to pass away, and spent the last two days keeping vigil by the old lady's window to fulfill his filial duty.
Jin Mudan went along too. Mo Lingchen was initially reluctant, but he couldn't persuade her otherwise.
We have no choice but to agree!
As a result, in his eyes, Chu Qinghe was like a different person, personally serving her tea and water by her bedside.
Mo Lingchen saw all of this.
She was genuinely taking care of her grandmother, without complaining at all.
Mo Lingchen watched the woman massaging his grandmother's legs. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she occasionally moved her finger joints, probably because her hands were sore.
The man felt a moment of dizziness. Was this the real her?
She knew that Chu Qinghe was willing to condescend to serve her grandmother because of him.
Otherwise, who would believe that a princess would personally serve a patient?
