The Crown Prince was in a terrible state of mind. If it weren't for saving face, he would have wanted to vomit all over Suo'etu.
"No need!" the crown prince said, shaking his head.
The prince looked up and saw the pastries that the two maids had brought over. They were very delicate and beautiful, some shaped like oranges and others like peanuts.
I wonder how it tastes? He Xue loves desserts, so if the taste is good, he asked Suo'etu for this chef.
The prince picked up an orange-shaped object, put it in his mouth, and tasted the refreshing aroma of oranges, but it was a bit sweet, which Xue probably wouldn't like.
The prince then tried a peanut-shaped one, his mouth full of peanut particles. It was salty, and he suggested that He Xue try it.
The prince's complexion gradually returned to normal.
"If Your Highness likes these snacks, I'll have someone make another batch!" Soetu said immediately.
"Alright!" the Crown Prince replied. It would be perfect if he could deliver it to He Xue, thus giving him a reason to see her.
Soetu glanced at the Crown Prince in surprise. Didn't the Crown Prince dislike sweets? Why has he changed his mind today?
"Oh, and don't make this too sweet!" the Crown Prince instructed. "Once it's done, just wrap it up! I'll take it with me when I leave!"
"Yes!" Soetu replied. "Your Highness, since these pastries suit your taste, why don't you take this chef directly to Yuqing Palace?"
“Alright!” the crown prince replied without hesitation.
Soetu glanced at the Crown Prince. What was wrong with the Crown Prince today? In the past, the Crown Prince had never accepted anything he gave him.
"Lord Suo, do you believe me now?"
"Your Highness, this is truly unbelievable!" Soetu still found it hard to accept.
"I never expected things to turn out this way!" The Crown Prince felt that he and He Xue were destined by fate, and that the Eternal Heaven was helping them.
"Your Highness, I once read in a book that Miao women are skilled at using Gu poison. Once they use Gu on a man they fancy, that man will be devoted to that woman!"
"You haven't been bewitched, have you? Could it be He Xue?" Suo'etu felt that He Xue was the biggest beneficiary of this matter, and he had every reason to suspect her.
"Such a thing actually exists?" the Crown Prince asked curiously. If he cast such a spell on He Xue, would she only have eyes for him?
But he only thought about it; he would never do anything to hurt Xue!
"I've heard that this kind of Gu is called Lover Gu. Almost everyone in Miao territory raises Gu, so this kind of thing is very common for them. We don't come into contact with Gu, which is why we find it strange!"
Soetu wondered why the Crown Prince's focus was different from his own. Shouldn't the Crown Prince be concerned about whether someone had cast a spell on him?
"Your Highness, could you have been bewitched by He Xue?" Soetu asked bluntly.
The Crown Prince actually hoped that He Xue would use a spell on him, which would show that He Xue had feelings for him.
"Your Highness, to cure the Lover's Curse, all you need is the heart's blood of the person who cast the curse!"
"Why don't we try taking He Xue's heart's blood?" Suo'etu suggested.
"I have said that I cannot harm He Xue, and I know myself whether I have been bewitched or not!"
Who do you think would use a curse on me? Xue? She's just a child; would she really be so cunning?
Soetu couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. "You actually know that He Xue is a child! When you said you liked He Xue, why didn't you think of her as a child?"
"Do you think Suhetai would do such a thing? He absolutely doesn't want to have any connection with Xue or the royal family!" the Crown Prince said. The biggest obstacle to his marriage to Xue was Suhetai.
Suo'etu thought about it and realized that what the Crown Prince said made sense. Could it be that the Crown Prince had suddenly become like this?
Is there any man in the world who cannot be near women? Indeed, there are some who cannot be near women, like monks!
Does the Aisin Gioro family have to produce another monk? Is this kind of thing supposed to be passed down through generations? If it were, shouldn't the emperor be the one to become a monk? How did it end up with the crown prince?
He would rather the emperor become a monk so that the crown prince could ascend the throne directly.
Right now, he not only has to get rid of He Xue, but he also has to find a way to get the emperor to betroth her to the crown prince, otherwise the crown prince might really have to become a monk.
But Xue and the Crown Prince are too far apart in age. Would the Emperor make the Crown Prince wait that long?
Now that the Emperor knows about the Crown Prince's situation, will he already be considering replacing him?
When Suo'etu thought about all this, he immediately felt a huge headache coming on!
