Chapter 443 Jiaojiao Takes Action (Eleventh Update)
The Crown Princess was repeatedly ignored by Gu Jiao, which would make even a clay figure angry. Not to mention that Gu Jiao made a big fuss about her in Princess Xinyang's residence. What's even more infuriating is that she promised Princess Xinyang not to spread the news, only to find out later that Princess Xinyang was protecting her so much because Princess Xinyang probably already knew and accepted her as her daughter-in-law.
He even lied to her, saying he was the doctor who treated her illness!
After careful consideration, the Crown Princess realized that her anger stemmed not from anything Gu Jiao had done, but from the fact that Gu Jiao had done nothing yet gradually replaced her in Princess Xinyang's heart and stolen what was rightfully hers.
–––Princess Xinyang's protection, and Aheng's affection.
The Crown Princess put the scissors back into the basket Chunying was carrying, walked over, stood beside Gu Jiao, and asked calmly, "Do you know Xiao Liulang's whereabouts?"
Gu Jiao cut a flower and said indifferently, "What business is it of yours where my husband is? Are you obsessed with someone else's husband?"
"You!" The Crown Princess's expression changed!
Gu Jiao: "Get out of the way."
"Do you know who is trying to kill Xiao Liulang? Only I can help him!" The Crown Princess never intended to take Xiao Liulang's life, nor did she want to watch him die.
Gu Jiao turned around and gave her a sarcastic look: "Do you know? Belated affection is worth less than grass."
I feel so sorry for Xiao Heng. What was he doing back then?
Who was ultimately responsible for Xiao Heng's tragedy?
There are two kinds of people in this world that are most annoying. One kind is those who are extremely wicked and have a clear purpose to harm others, like Prince Ning. The other kind is those who are not guilty enough to die, and whose initial intention was not to cause any deaths, but they still cause a lot of trouble. Apart from themselves, others can be implicated and die because of them.
The former can be dealt with according to the law, which is very satisfying, but the latter cannot be killed, and it is painful to endure, like a fishbone stuck in one's throat.
However, she had heard that the laws of Zhao Kingdom were different from those of her previous life, and she wondered what crime it was for the Crown Princess to seduce Prince Ning.
The Crown Princess was completely speechless and couldn't utter a single word.
She seemed to understand, yet she also seemed not to quite understand.
She had no feelings for Xiao Liulang, only for Xiao Heng.
So Gu Jiao meant that she admitted Xiao Liulang was Xiao Heng, and that she had revealed that she still harbored inappropriate feelings for Xiao Heng.
How dare she say such a thing?
Isn't she afraid of revealing Xiao Heng's identity?
Or did she already realize that Xiao Liulang was Xiao Heng?
Of course, the most heartbreaking line is "belated affection is worth less than grass." How dare she... how dare she humiliate her like this!
Gu Jiao didn't care what the Crown Princess thought, and left without looking back after picking the flowers.
The group had lunch at Renshou Palace, and Gu Jiao's flower cakes were quickly devoured.
In the afternoon, the three of them still went to raid a bird's nest, the kind that was hoisted up by the guard A with a rope.
Gu Jiao's next plan is to expose the relationship between Prince Ning and the Crown Princess. The Princess Ning's attitude is somewhat intriguing, seemingly aware of the situation yet also seemingly unaware. In any case, Gu Jiao does not intend to start with the Princess Ning.
The crown prince should be the first to experience the soul-crushing attack.
Prince Ning has been recuperating from his injuries these past few days, but that's alright; some things can be fabricated out of thin air.
After the first class in the afternoon, Gu Chengfeng went to the outhouse.
Suddenly a gyrfalcon flew over and landed on his shoulder. One wing covered its head in disgust, while the other wing patted the back of his head.
Then, it arrogantly extended a bird claw.
Gu Chengfeng: "..."
Honestly, this girl might as well catch him herself. Why does she always make a bird run errands?
As usual, a note was tied to Xiao Jiu's leg, and as usual, a bloodstained knife was drawn on the note.
"Eastern Palace, come quickly."
Gu Chengfeng's lips twitched.
He vowed that if this was about moving the Crown Prince's treasury, he would have to take half!
Unfortunately, Gu Chengfeng was disappointed; Gu Jiao did not go to rob the Crown Prince.
Gu Jiao: "Have you ever met the Crown Princess?"
Gu Chengfeng: "Why are you asking this?"
Gu Jiao: "Have you ever heard her speak?"
Gu Chengfeng: "Something's not right with you."
Gu Jiao: "Fine, let's listen to it again, whether we've heard it before or not."
Then Gu Chengfeng was grabbed by a small hand and taken to the East Palace.
Gu Jiao went in openly and honestly, while Gu Chengfeng was thrown in by her openly and honestly.
Whether Gu Chengfeng is discovered by the experts of the Eastern Palace or not depends on his own abilities.
Gu Chengfeng, who almost fell flat on his face, gritted his teeth. "That brat!"
"What are you doing here?" The Crown Princess looked coldly at Gu Jiao, who was being led in. Gu Jiao was kneeling in the warm pavilion arranging flowers, and the table was covered with scattered flower branches and petals.
Gu Jiao sat down cross-legged opposite her and said, "Let's talk."
The Crown Princess cut a peony blossom: "What is there to say between you and me?"
Gu Jiao hummed in response: "There's nothing to say."
Crown Princess: "..."
"I've never seen anything like this before..." The Crown Princess racked her brains but couldn't find a suitable word to describe Gu Jiao. She cut another flower and said to Gu Jiao, "I don't care what you've heard outside, I wasn't the one who harmed Xiao Liulang. I didn't send anyone to arrest him, and I hope to find him as soon as possible. However, the turmoil hasn't subsided yet, so it's not a bad thing for him to hide for the time being. But he can only hide for a while, not forever. You should think of a way to get rid of him completely."
“Very good, continue,” Gu Jiao said.
The Crown Princess was taken aback.
She had some doubts about whether Gu Jiao had actually understood the hidden meaning in her words.
She looked at Gu Jiao, who didn't seem to be listening attentively, but Gu Jiao clearly expressed her hope that she would continue.
The Crown Princess frowned slightly: "If you don't want to hear it..."
Gu Jiao said, "I'd like to, tell me more."
To make sure Gu Chengfeng hears it more accurately.
Gu Chengfeng on the rooftop rolled his eyes!
The Crown Princess continued speaking, and Gu Jiao rarely responded, or rather, her responses were quite strange.
"Your tone is wrong. Say it again, say it more sadly. I want to hear your sad voice."
"You should have said that in a cheerful tone. Say it again."
Crown Princess: ...Why do I feel like something's not right?
The Crown Princess is a very intelligent person, but even the most intelligent person has their own mental boundaries. Once they go beyond those boundaries, their subconscious will automatically ignore or accept the strange things that they cannot understand, and even find reasonable explanations for them.
The Crown Princess said coldly, "Are you here to amuse me, or to stall for time for something else? You wouldn't happen to want to see the Crown Prince, would you?"
Gu Jiao clapped her hands and stood up: "Alright, alright, since you're so worried, then I'll leave."
Anyway, the Crown Princess's mini-lesson is almost over.
Gu Chengfeng is about to graduate.
Four votes short of 100, please let's break 100!
