Jing Le greeted the Second Prince with a smile, acting very familiar with him.
Shadow Three, who was following behind, was also very surprised. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that the little princess and the second prince were very familiar with each other.
He knew something about the power struggle between the Imperial Concubine and the Empress.
What could the little princess and the second prince possibly have to talk about?
He must keep a close eye on things and make sure the second prince doesn't harm the little princess.
"Anle, what brings you here to see your elder brother?"
The second prince looked at the little figure in front of him with great curiosity.
The second prince has been granted the title of prince this year. Although he has not yet married, his mansion has already been built, and this is the first time he has moved in since returning.
She's the same age as Jia Yue, but prettier and has a cute smile.
This is the Second Prince's evaluation of Jing Le.
Although he knew there were some conflicts between the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, it had nothing to do with him.
So there's no need to target Jing Le; he wouldn't do that anyway.
"I've come to thank my second brother for the white tiger he gifted me; I really like it."
Jing Le's white tiger was a birthday gift from the Second Prince to Emperor Jing, a fact that was almost common knowledge.
The second prince, of course, knew as well.
However, he wasn't angry; it didn't matter to Emperor Jing who he gave the gift to.
[I never expected my second brother to have such a good personality; he's nothing like the Empress.]
The Second Prince, who was about to bend down and squat down to talk to Jing Le, was stunned.
The voice in his head was Jing Le's?!
But the person opposite did not open their mouth.
Just as I was thinking this, the voice continued.
[Tsk tsk tsk, it's a bit pitiful; her body will be possessed by someone in the near future.]
[In the end, he even got involved with the female lead, Jing Jiayue, and caused the death of his father.]
What? This king has been possessed?
Is it the kind of possession story from the novel?
Did he also conspire with Jia Yue to kill their father?
How is that possible?
The second prince stared at Jing Le in utter shock, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
He didn't know what to say.
Does he mean he can hear Jing Le's inner thoughts?
Furthermore, is the content inside even true?
Jing Le found it strange that the Second Prince, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly froze.
"Second brother, are you alright?"
Could it be epilepsy? He's having seizures! Is he going to foam at the mouth soon?
"Second brother is alright. Let's go. The chef in my manor is quite skilled. I'll take you to eat something good."
The Second Prince was instantly brought back to his senses by Jing Le's witty remarks.
He was afraid that if he remained stiff any longer, he would really become the epilepsy that Jing Le had mentioned.
Taking Jingle to the kitchen was also a way to get closer to her and find out more information from her.
The second prince had no other hobbies except for food.
These past few days he hasn't left the house; he's been spending all his time in the kitchen.
He ordered the cooks in the manor to prepare some delicious food for him.
"(⊙o⊙) Wow, thank you, Second Brother."
I didn't expect my second brother to be such a foodie. People who love food are usually not too bad. I need to think of a way to help him out.
[To prevent his body from being taken from him.]
Jing Le followed the Second Prince with a smug grin on his face.
But in his mind, he was full of complaints.
While introducing Jingle to the various delicacies prepared by the chefs in the manor, the Second Prince secretly listened to her thoughts.
When she heard Jing Le say she would help her, her heart softened.
Shadow Three followed silently behind them.
...
On the other side.
At the foot of Longhu Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing.
Yuan Zhengqi and his party were passing through this place on their way south, and all the cartloads of silver and grain were being transported south.
Provide relief to the local people.
The remaining grain would only be released from the granaries once it reached the south.
Otherwise, it would take forever to transport all that grain from the capital.
Yuan Zhengqi knew that the Minister of Revenue had problems, but he did not connect it to the Prime Minister.
So he was still thinking about the Minister of Revenue the whole way.
Just then, a group of masked men in black rushed out of the woods.
Having identified Yuan Zhengqi, he brandished his knife and lunged at him.
"Be careful, sir."
Upon seeing this, the attendant immediately drew his sword from his waist and blocked the attack.
He was sent by Emperor Jing to protect Yuan Zhengqi. Unexpectedly, he came in handy in the outskirts of the capital.
"You guys be careful too."
Yuan Zhengqi was sitting outside the carriage getting some fresh air when the villains saw him.
This will allow them to return to the carriage and avoid causing trouble for others.
Emperor Jing sent four highly skilled men, who, along with several escorting imperial guards, quickly subdued the group of men in black.
However, those men in black were all suicide squad members; after being captured, they all hanged themselves.
This also served as a reminder to those heading south.
The road ahead might be even more dangerous, and some people didn't want Yuan Zhengqi and his team to go south for disaster relief.
After Yuan Zhengqi understood, he was so angry that his face turned red.
It wasn't for himself, but for the common people in the south.
He will definitely bring the supplies and silver to the south and will not let the person behind it succeed.
...
Kunning Palace.
The Empress lay languidly on the soft couch, her eyes closed as if she were taking a nap, while Granny Wu fanned her from the side.
"My lord, a letter from outside the palace."
At that moment, a man in black handed the Queen a letter and a wooden box.
His eyes, which had been closed, snapped open instantly, and he took the letter and began to read it slowly.
The only sentence on it was, "Operation tomorrow."
He then picked up the wooden box, opened it, and took a look.
A piece of pitch-black wood came into view.
When the Empress saw this thing, her pupils contracted for a moment, then fell silent again.
After a long pause, she said, "Tell him that I am aware of this."
