Chapter 38 Secret Collusion



[No, the prince was also kept in the dark. ]

[Who is this secret letter intended for? ]

【Ylangduo. 】

Jiang Yueyang frowned, [Who is it? ]

[The Emperor's Consort Lan, a princess of the Chishui tribe.]

Jiang Yueyang gasped, [What, what do the Chishui people want to do? Could it be...]

The system analyzed: [There should be that intention, but there has been no major action so far. At this stage, it is just information exchanged within and outside the palace.]

[It will be too late by the time they take action. I have to find a way to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.]

Hearing this, the system asked curiously: [Host, don't you just want to eat melons and not meddle in other people's business? ]

Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes slightly, [Then I have to live to eat the melon. ]

[Host, do you really not believe in Daxia's combat power? ]

[Everything has its limits. Besides, I don’t want a war to happen. In the end of a war, it is the common people who suffer.]

These words deeply touched the prince.

He studied Confucianism, did not like killing, and did not want the people to be caught up in the war.

In everything, it is best to accomplish things without bloodshed.

But if someone insists on stirring up chaos in the world, he can also take up sword to defend the country and keep his people of Daxia safe for years.

The system said: [Then how does the host want to remind the prince? ]

【When will they come to pick up the secret letter? 】

[3:30 pm, the library is closing.]

Jiang Yueyang pinched her chin and thought about it. She couldn’t say it directly, nor could she alert the enemy... Got it!

The prince also wanted to know how she was going to remind him, so he waited without moving.

"Ouch!" Jiang Yueyang screamed in a pretentious manner.

Even the prince, who had been well prepared, was a little frightened at this moment.

"Your Highness." Jiang Yueyang raised his hand and pointed at the beam, "I just saw a mouse running over there."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked very cooperatively, "There are rats? No way? The library is cleaned every day. Did Miss Jiang see it wrong?"

Jiang Yueyang shook his head frantically, "I am sure I did not see it wrong, there really is a mouse. Your Highness, please find someone to catch it, otherwise it will damage the books."

The prince nodded, "Hmm... Miss Jiang is right. Books are precious and cannot be damaged by mice. I will ask someone to catch mice later."

Jiang Yueyang was puzzled, "Why do we have to catch him later? Can't we catch him now?"

"Mice like to dig holes and reproduce quickly. There must be a nest of baby mice up there. We can catch them all after they all return to their nests."

Jiang Yueyang didn't hear the hidden meaning in the prince's words and nodded thoughtfully.

[In this way, the Crown Prince's men will probably bump into the people who come to retrieve the secret letter, and they will be caught red-handed.]

The system couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on her, [I'm afraid that she will never admit it. The one who came to get the secret letter was a young eunuch beside Concubine Lan, who is very easy to control.]

[There's no way you can quibble over the words on the secret letter, right? ]

The system said in a long tone: [The text above is not necessarily in Chishui language. ]

Jiang Yueyang was speechless. It was indeed possible.

At this time, the prince said, "Miss Jiang, shall we go down? I just remembered that there is a damaged poetry collection in the library. Miss Jiang, please help repair it."

Seeing the prince was about to leave, Jiang Yueyang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I think we should ask someone to catch the mouse now."

"No hurry." The prince replied as he walked down.

Since Concubine Lan and the others hadn't made any big moves, he wasn't in a hurry. He would first report the matter to his father, and then arrange for someone to keep an eye on Concubine Lan and Marquis Jing'an's family.

He would come early to catch mice, copy a secret letter and wait for them.

What to do next will depend on how my father arranges it.

Jiang Yueyang was very upset when she heard what the prince said. She wanted to say, if you are not anxious, then I am!

"Your Highness, shall we catch them now? I am afraid of rats."

The prince raised his lips when he heard this, "Miss Jiang, please keep your voice down. Don't disturb the adults and students in this building."

Jiang Yueyang suddenly shut her mouth tightly, [Yes, yes, yes, we can't alert others, Concubine Lan's people might be in this building.]

So, she lowered her voice and continued, "Your Highness, I am really very afraid of mice. Can you please…"

"Since Miss Jiang is so afraid of mice, then..."

Jiang Yueyang looked at him with burning eyes, her face full of anticipation.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked away unnaturally, "Then let's go back to Wenyuan Pavilion."

Jiang Yueyang: "..."

The system laughed, [Hahahaha... Host, is this what you call the eunuchs being anxious when the emperor is not? ]

[You are the eunuch. Humph! I don't care. This world is not mine. Let Chishui destroy Daxia.]

Prince: “…”

In the end, Jiang Yueyang still failed to get the prince to catch the mouse now, but instead found a homework for herself.

She looked at the torn poetry collection in her hands, and wailed on the table with despair.

The colleagues in Wenyuan Pavilion all shrank back, then looked back at Jiang Yueyang behind them in confusion.

Pei Yan stood up and walked over and asked, "What's wrong with Master Xiao Jiang?"

"Nothing." Jiang Yueyang moved her head, "I'm just tired."

Pei Yan twitched his lips when he heard that. How could someone so young understand what it meant to be tired?

I'm tired, okay?

Not only do I have to do a lot of work, but I also have to be careful to prevent you from getting into trouble in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Pei Yan complained in his heart, but smiled and said, "If Master Xiao Jiang is tired, why don't you go back to the mansion and rest?"

Jiang Yueyang's eyes lit up, "Can I go back?"

Pei Yan responded, "Your Majesty has pardoned Lord Xiao Jiang and he can return to the palace to work."

"Why is Your Majesty so special to me?" Jiang Yueyang asked in a low voice.

"Well... Your Majesty told me that Lord Xiao Jiang is young and still growing, so he shouldn't be overworked."

[Tsk!] Jiang Yueyang made a dissatisfied sound, [You said it so well, why do you have to make me an official!]

Pei Yan answered her silently in his heart, it’s because of your voice.

Even though she complained, Jiang Yueyang had to thank Emperor Yuan for his consideration on the surface.

"In that case." Jiang Yueyang stood up with the poetry collection, "Then I'll go home. This is the poetry collection that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to repair. I will try to finish it as soon as possible. Lord Pei, please don't assign me any work recently."

"Master Xiao Jiang, you are joking. How dare I assign work to you? If Master Kong has no special arrangements, you can arrange your own time as you like."

[Alas~ This is probably the only benefit of being a crown princess. ]

System: [Are you tempted? The host has already enjoyed preferential treatment before becoming the Crown Princess. If she becomes the Crown Princess, won’t she be able to get whatever she wants? ]

One person has always been in power and still believes that Emperor Yuan's various actions are only because Jiang Yueyang is the Crown Princess chosen by the Queen.

[If the prince wasn't the prince, maybe I would be attracted to him. After all, the prince is really handsome! ]
