Yuan Yao believed that she was poisoned and was hallucinating.
She raised her small hand and pinched her fair and tender wrist hard.
It hurts!
This is not an illusion!
She actually heard someone say that she wanted to marry the Ninth Prince!
The Nine Thousand Years Old is a eunuch!
Does he need to get married?
At this moment, the girl named Yunzhi said, "Sister, is Father really confident about the marriage? What if... he rejects us?"
"Don't worry," the older woman comforted her. "The weather is abnormal this year; some areas are flooded, and some are dry."
If Your Excellency were to allocate a large sum of money for disaster relief, you would surely be happy to form a marriage alliance with our family.
Tonight, you only need to wait on the path that the Ninth Prince always takes back to his villa. When you encounter him, follow the method I mentioned before and have him carry you back to the villa...
Tomorrow, Father can request the Emperor to bestow a marriage upon us.
The girl named Yunzhi hesitated for a moment, then shyly replied, "Mm."
Her sister sighed softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
“I’m not aggrieved,” Yunzhi replied. “Yunzhi is just worried about Princess Yuanyao…”
Yuan Yao: "???"
While watching the drama unfold, I suddenly found myself in the spotlight!
Yuan Yao jumped, clenched her little hands, and pricked up her ears to listen towards the source of the sound.
Yunzhi hesitated and said, "I've heard that the Ninth Prince dotes on Princess Yuanyao, and the two even sleep in the same bed."
If I were to marry into Qianhua Palace, wouldn't that be...
“You don’t need to worry too much about that little princess,” the older sister said. “In the end, she’s just someone the Prince picked up and raised as a pet.”
If you marry into the family, you will be the mistress of Qianhua Palace. Why would you worry about not being able to handle a baby?
If you really find her an eyesore, find a place to send her away to be raised.
"Once the Ninth Prince takes a liking to you, can't you do whatever you want?"
Yunzhi replied, "Sister is right..."
Yuan Yao: "..."
What are all these things??
She couldn't wait to see these two quirky sisters!
He wants to marry her father, but he also wants to get rid of her?
That's so interesting!
The arranged marriage is still far from being finalized, yet they've already started planning how to treat her?
Beside her, a young palace maid looked worried and whispered, "Princess..."
Yuan Yao quickly shook her head at her.
You can't let anyone find out you're eavesdropping!
The palace maid felt wronged for her: "I think this kind of person should be exposed!"
"What's the point of exposing them now?" Yuan Yao said in a childish voice.
The palace maid stomped her feet in anger.
She stomped her foot, and Yuan Yao thought to herself, "Oh no."
Sure enough, the two sisters on the other end of the line suddenly stopped talking.
The girl named Yunzhi said, "Sister, could it be that someone..."
Before the word "eavesdropping" could be uttered, a cat meowed.
Yuan Yao felt dizzy and lightheaded. When she came to her senses, she had already been carried to the high wall outside the palace.
Beside her, the young palace maid looked completely bewildered: "Princess...Princess, just now..."
Why did she vaguely see a dark shadow flash by?
Moreover, the shadowy figure had disappeared, and she had even changed the place she was standing!
Yuan Yao sighed: "What's your name?"
The young palace maid replied, "This servant is Jing'er."
Jing'er?
Yuan Yao chuckled and said, "Your name is quite different from your personality."
Jing'er was stunned for a moment before she realized that the little princess was thinking that she was noisy and in the way!
A blush rose on Jing'er's fair face: "Princess, I'm sorry... Jing'er was just too angry..."
"Alright!" Yuan Yao smiled, "Anyway, we didn't get caught."
The cat that broke the moon got lost just in time!
They were taken away just in time!
but……
Yuan Yao glanced at the sky.
The sun was almost setting, and soon night would fall.
She needed to find the Ninth Prince to save Xie Ning, and also deal with that Yunzhi while she was at it.
Tonight, shall we wait on the only road the Ninth Prince takes back to his villa?
Looks like this is going to be interesting!
Looking at the high palace walls, Yuan Yao said, "Po Yue, take me back."
"yes."
Po Yue appeared, carrying Yuan Yao in one arm and Jing'er in the other, and climbed over another section of the palace wall to return to the temporary palace.
Yuan Yao walked along the lake for a long time before she saw a moon gate.
Voices could be heard coming from inside the moon gate.
Yuan Yao stopped and listened for a moment, and realized that the voice belonged to Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhi said, "We thought it was too sunny, so we agreed to come here to fish in the shade. But before we even caught anything, we saw one person after another crawling in through the inlet..."
"The Second Prince was almost stabbed by an assassin..."
"They have hidden weapons..."
Yuan Yao stood outside the moon gate, utterly astonished.
An assassin actually managed to sneak into the imperial palace?
There aren't many people who can stay overnight at the palace. Could the assassins be after the Ninth Prince again?
She stood by the door and peeked out.
From afar, she saw the Ninth Prince standing by the lotus pond with his hands behind his back.
Around him, besides Xie Zhi, Jiang Chengyan, and Lin Xuan, there were also a few other teenagers whom Yuan Yao didn't recognize...
Just as Yuan Yao opened her eyes wide to recognize people, a voice softly sounded in her ear: "What are you doing here?"
scare!
Yuan Yao turned around: "Yun Chan!"
They appear and disappear without a trace!
It almost scared her to death!
Yun Chan, whose skin was pale, glanced inside and asked, "Aren't you going in?"
"Go!" Yuan Yao said, patting her chest.
She lifted her skirt and stepped through the moon gate.
As soon as the two entered, many people looked over.
The boys she didn't recognize all stared at her with wide eyes and curiosity.
Yuan Yao: "..."
Does she have flowers on her face?
However, these young boys are all very good-looking!
As soon as Xie Zhi saw her, he smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, and waved: "Little Yao'er, over here!"
Yuan Yao's little face was full of curiosity: "What are you doing?"
The Ninth Prince glanced at her indifferently: "Come here."
Yuan Yao obediently walked over and looked up, saying, "Father."
The Ninth Prince bent down and picked her up before looking at Yun Chan: "Is the young prince feeling any better?"
Yun Chan said sullenly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm much better now."
The Ninth Prince withdrew his gaze and said to the group of youths, "You who discovered the assassin have all rendered meritorious service. I will explain this to the Emperor and reward you."
The assassin has been captured; everyone can disperse.
"yes."
A group of teenagers bowed respectfully, glanced at Yuan Yao a few more times with curiosity, and then left together.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" The Ninth Prince glared at Xie Zhi and the others.
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "We'll stay at the imperial palace tonight."
The Ninth Prince coldly said, "Go back to your respective courtyards."
"Yes." Xie Zhi cupped his hands in greeting.
Lin Xuan stared at the water outlet and said angrily, "Your Majesty must punish those assassins severely!"
"You talk too much!" Jiang Chengyan glared.
Lin Xuan, furious, clutched his arm, walked past Yun Chan, and strode away.
Once the three left, the lotus pond became quiet.
The Ninth Prince glanced at Yun Chan and said, "Send the Imperial Guards to guard this place tonight, and have people repair it tomorrow, locking the water inlet with iron netting."
Those assassins were all escorted back to the capital and handed over to the Ministry of Justice.
The attendant acknowledged the order: "Yes!"
The Ninth Prince then looked at Yuan Yao: "You little dumpling, it's almost dark, what are you doing running all this way?"
Yuan Yao glanced at the sky.
Sure enough, it's going to get dark.
Her bright, clear eyes darted around, and she said sweetly, "Daddy, just now, I heard something very interesting behind the rockery. Would you like to hear it?"
