Chapter 982: The Crown Princess' Caution

The maid's forehead was covered with sweat. "If Shu Ren gets hurt, I won't be able to explain to Lord Zhou."

Zhulan was calmer. There was no snake there. The shout just now was planned. If there really was a snake biting anyone, it would be a big deal. "Heh."

Zhulan smiled faintly while drinking her tea, and could still admire the girl who was sweating with anxiety. If she hadn't been cautious, she would have wondered if she wanted to harm her.

The girl was really panicked. It was too late for her to take Shu Ren over after delaying until now. Her face looked extremely pale.

Zhu Lan said, "Since you are worried about not being able to explain yourself, go and ask the guards to come and catch the snake. I can take a look at what kind of snake it is."

Before the maid opened her mouth, Zhulan heard the shouting and looked in the direction of the sound. It was very chaotic. After a while, Zhulan saw Princess Qi coming towards her with a gloomy face, holding the child.

The child in Princess Qi's arms was crying loudly, and his body was soaked, indicating that he had fallen into the water.

The Princess of Chu also looked unhappy, especially after seeing Zhulan, her expression became even uglier.

Princess Chu, "Second sister-in-law, change the child into doctor's clothes first."

Princess Qi was really angry. She held the child with one hand and grabbed Princess Chu's clothes with the other hand. "This princess will remember this today. Let's see what happens."

Princess Chu's face turned pale. Princess Qi threatened her in front of so many people, "I don't understand what my second sister-in-law said."

"Heh, you should be thankful that I still had some sense in not slapping you."

Zhulan thought to herself, this would be more embarrassing for Princess Chu than a slap in the face. If she was slapped, Princess Chu could still defend herself and pretend to be the victim. Now Princess Qi is acting like she's suppressing herself, but I know it was you. The more Princess Chu explains, the more suspicious people will become.

Zhulan silently took a step back. It would be better to hide and write at this time. If she hadn't been cautious, the blame would have been on her. She thought the Princess of Chu just wanted to teach the Zhou family a lesson, but now it seems that it is not as simple as just a lesson.

The Crown Princess held Zhen Yue in her arms and realized that it was not easy. She carried her wherever she went. She felt safest only in her arms. She patted the little girl who was hugging her neck, with a smile on her face, thanking her for being so cautious.

The lady-in-waiting beside the Crown Princess stretched out her hand to take the child, but the Crown Princess shook her head. She couldn't let go of the child. She didn't forget that there was a snake here. No matter whether it was a real snake or a fake one, she wouldn't feel at ease giving the child to anyone without her hands.

Princess Qi left with her people, and Princess Liang also looked unhappy. The two princesses left.

The Crown Princess was also a little unable to hold the little girl, so she said, "Since there is a commotion at my sister-in-law's house, I will not disturb her. By the way, we must catch this snake."

Princess Chu frowned and said, "I will definitely catch him."

The Crown Princess took two steps and then stopped. "Everyone was frightened. Let's leave with me. We haven't caught the snake yet. Let's avoid any more trouble."

After the Crown Princess spoke, the wives of officials who didn't want to stay followed with their children. Zhulan was the first to respond and walked very quickly.

The courtyard that was full just now was soon cleared out, leaving only the servants of Prince Chu's mansion. Princess Chu had a gloomy face and kicked the kneeling maid away, "Waste, what's the point of keeping you around?"

The maid kept crying, "Please forgive me, my princess. Please forgive me, my princess."

After leaving the Chu Palace, Zhulan got on the carriage and patted her chest, "Today is really exciting. My heart is pounding right now."

Mrs. Song really didn't realize that the mistress was too calm at the time. "Today, Princess Chu's plan failed, and she also fell out with Princess Qi."

Zhulan, "The target of the Princess of Chu today should be the Crown Princess, but unfortunately the Crown Princess was too cautious and held the child tightly the whole time, so we had to temporarily replace her."

Speaking of this, Zhulan really admired the Crown Princess. She never let go of her hand for even a single moment. In comparison, if Princess Qi was the same as the Crown Princess, she wouldn't have been tricked. Look at the way the little girl hugged the Crown Princess. It was obvious that the Crown Princess was used to holding children.

And he is really good to the little girl, that's why she trusts him so much and lets him hold her. It is said that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a good relationship. Zhulan has always thought it was a rumor, but today it seems to be true.

The water woman said, "You didn't follow the plan today. The Princess of Chu was targeting the Zhou family and will hate you in the future."

Zhu Lan sneered, "We are all holding a grudge anyway. What's the difference between the Zhou family and me? If we really fall into a trap today, no matter if it's the Crown Princess or the Prince Qi's Mansion, the Zhou family won't be able to bear it. The Zhou family will definitely give an explanation. The lesson that the Prince Chu's Mansion wants to teach is too great."

Although it won't cost her life, her child will be frightened and she will be punished. She cherishes her life very much!

Mrs. Song and Mrs. Shui were silent. The mistress was right. There was indeed no difference.

In the Crown Princess's carriage, she left a maid behind and told her what happened in the courtyard. She smiled and said, "This Lord Zhou's wife is really a killer."

The female official handed the handkerchief to the Crown Princess, "Ms. Yang Shuren has seen through the plans of the Princess of Chu, so she did not leave the courtyard. Now it seems that the King of Chu has also given up on Mr. Zhou."

The Crown Princess smiled faintly, "Lord Zhou helped the Ran family. The King of Chu hates Lord Zhou to death. The Ran family now also hates the King of Chu. I wish the King of Qi would give up Lord Zhou as well."

The female official wanted to say something but stopped herself. The Crown Princess knew what the female official was thinking. The female official was afraid that the Zhou family and the Ran family would be tied together, which would cause trouble in the future. Ran Yan was not a threat to her. Even if there was a threat, that would only be in the future. More importantly, she knew that the Crown Prince did not have Ran Yan in his heart.

And she also needs help. Ran Yan, who has no son, is the most suitable one. If the Ran family and the Zhou family are mixed together, it will be beneficial to her son's future.

Zhulan went home and changed her clothes. She had really been through a lot, so nothing frightened her, except that she was afraid of snakes. She accepted this plot surprisingly calmly, and in the end she was in the mood to watch the live play for a while.

Zhulan leaned against the cushion and said to her daughter, "So I said that places like lakes and rockeries should all be included. These places are always at the top of the list of places where accidents occur in house fights."

Xue Han was worried about her mother, so she had been waiting for her mother in the main courtyard. When her mother changed her clothes and said this, she was a little confused, and then she reacted, "Mom, is there really an accident? Mom, are you okay?"

Zhulan ate grapes and asked, "Does your mother look like she has something wrong?"

Xue Han was silent. It was not like that. She looked more like she was very satisfied after watching the show. Well, I was worried for nothing. Thinking about what my mother had just said, I couldn't help laughing. "So someone fell into the lake this time?"

Zhulan never eats the grape skins when eating grapes, as it is easy for her teeth to get soured at an old age. The ancient grapes were pure, so they were a bit sour. She spat out the grape seeds and said, "My daughter is smart. The prince of Qi's legitimate child fell into the lake."

Prince Qi's legitimate son is three years old, and Princess Qi's eldest legitimate son is six years old this year. Princess Qi was plotted against when she gave birth to her eldest son. The child was in her womb for a long time, and her body was always weak. Princess Qi was also injured, and it took her three years to give birth to her second legitimate son.

Therefore, the healthy second son is the lifeblood of Princess Qi. Today, Princess Qi's lifeblood has been touched. How can Princess Qi not be angry?
