Chapter 35 Dealing with the Fake Princess
Prince Qing hurried back to the mansion, having just washed off the smell of blood, and searched the entire Lifeng Hall but couldn't find Xiao Tangbao.
His face was ashen and he remained silent. He rushed to the yard and was about to call a secret guard out to ask, when he suddenly saw thick smoke over the Yiwei Hall?
"Oh no! Something must have happened!"
He muttered to himself, not bothering to look for Tang Bao anymore, and ran to the east side of the palace.
But when I kicked open the door of Yiwei Hall, I saw a bunch of ignorant people happily grilling fish in the yard? ! !
How can this be possible...
It’s just nonsense!!
Are they crazy? Creating so much smoke in the middle of the night, aren't they afraid of attracting the fire-snatching troops?!
Someone just died in the mansion, and the princess of Prince Qi's mansion is still in his mansion...
There's already a lot going on in the palace today. Are these people worried that he's too idle? Aren't they worried that he's already in enough trouble?!
“…” Prince Qing was furious and picked up a stick.
Today... he must break the legs of these idiots!
"Daddy!?" Xiao Tangbao was the first to see Prince Qing.
As soon as she spoke, the originally bustling yard instantly became quiet.
In an instant, the guards all knelt on the ground, and there was dead silence all around.
The cold wind blew, and the bone-chilling chill made everyone shiver uncontrollably.
Xiao Tangbao stood up quickly, holding a large fish in her hand, and ran towards her father. "Daddy, do you want some fish? This freshly grilled fish smells delicious!"
"..." Looking down at the milk ball on the ground, Prince Qing's brows were still furrowed, but the hostility in his eyes had dissipated a lot.
It had to be his cub. He stood at the door for so long, but a group of ruffians who knew martial arts didn't notice him. It was his cub who saw him first.
Is this what it means to be in sync with each other?
This feeling of blood connection is quite nice.
After throwing away the stick, he didn't worry about the little guy getting his clothes dirty, and picked him up.
"Do you like grilled fish?"
The little guy shook his head, "Tang Bao has never had grilled fish before, so I don't know whether I like it or not."
"The department guards saw that Tang Bao was frightened today, so they fished it out of the lotus pond and used it to comfort Tang Bao!"
When the guards heard this, they felt warm in their hearts and felt like they were alive again.
Even at this time, the little princess still didn't forget to plead for them!
The little princess is truly the cutest, kindest little darling in the world!!!
"..." Prince Qing looked at the people kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did you catch this fish from the lotus pond?"
"..." The captain of the guards didn't know what his prince meant, and nodded stiffly, "Your Highness, this fish was caught by our subordinates while we were retrieving the corpse. We..."
"Enough!" Prince Qing's temples were throbbing, and he snatched the fish from Xiao Tangbao's hand and slammed it to the ground.
He held his forehead, frowned, and shouted, "Someone just drowned in that pond. How dare you give the princess something you fished out of the dead pond to eat?"
Stupid things! A bunch of idiots!!
Little Tangbao ignored his angry father, stared pitifully at the grilled fish on the ground, and burst into tears with a "wow".
"Fish..."
"There are no more fish..."
“Wow—!!”
The little guy cried heartbrokenly, and everyone's heart was ached.
What a cute and warm-hearted little princess! What if she cries herself to death?
How about they go to the river and catch a few for the little princess?
Seeing the little girl sobbing, Prince Qing pretended to be calm, wiped away Tang Bao's tears, and held her while they sat down by a fire.
"Fish... We're out of fish, so we can eat chicken. How about we roast a chicken?"
He stared at the little ball of milk in his arms without blinking, and with a push of the internal force in his palm, the pile of firewood in front of the two of them, which was about to go out, suddenly reignited.
"......?" The little guy's attention was instantly diverted.
She stopped crying and sobbed, staring at the fire in front of her.
Upon seeing this, Prince Qing immediately used some of his internal strength, and the weak little flame suddenly expanded with a "whoosh!", as if by magic.
"Wow!" Little Tangbao clapped his hands in delight. His gray eyes, washed by water, stared at the fire, blinking with clarity. "Daddy, Daddy is great! Daddy is awesome!"
The palace's secret guards are used to sleeping in the open air, and everyone is good at surviving in the wild.
A secret guard heard the conversation between the father and daughter from afar and immediately went to catch the chicken.
In front of all the guards, as if to provoke, he quickly put up the prepared chicken for Prince Qing and his daughter.
At this moment, Prince Qing no longer cared about the Qianhuo Army... He turned the wooden stick and personally helped Xiao Tangbao roast the chicken.
A few tactless guards also wanted to cheer the little princess up, so they stood up and demonstrated their "fire control skills" in various ways.
In just a short while, the Yiwei Hall, which had suddenly become quiet, became lively again.
…
Chuntai led the team to the Prime Minister's Mansion with drums and gongs beating, gradually attracting the attention of the people.
As if it wasn't lively enough, people in the team would occasionally throw handfuls of copper coins onto both sides of the street.
Seeing that more and more people were on the street, Chuntai glanced at Yun Yanyao who was tied tightly on the cart, and hung a wooden sign engraved with "I am the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zhao, and I am the child born out of wedlock" around her neck.
Chuntai winked at the people around him, and the guards dressed as servants immediately started shouting at the top of their lungs as they walked...
"Prime Minister Zhao Kangnian is hypocritical, arrogant, and full of wicked ambitions! He is corrupt and supports traitors, and he is so bold as to plant spies in Prince Qing's palace!"
"Zhao Kangnian learned of Prince Qing's secret and arranged for his eldest daughter to commit adultery with a convicted slave! He also ordered his eldest daughter, Zhao, to use her unborn child to frame Prince Qing, intending to confuse the bloodline of the Daliang royal family!"
"Zhao Kangnian's evil scheme was exposed. Not only did he not stop, he also took advantage of Prince Qing's serious illness and repeatedly pressured Zhao to move into Prince Qing's mansion with his daughter, causing unrest in the palace all day long!"
"God has mercy on us. His Royal Highness Prince Qing is gradually recovering. This is why we were able to deal with the Zhao family and prevent the Daliang royal family from becoming a laughing stock among the other nations!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Qing was kindhearted and did not punish the innocent child, simply waiting for the Zhao family to take her away. However, Zhao Kangnian relied on his immense power to force His Royal Highness Prince Qing to adopt the illegitimate daughter as his adopted daughter!"
"The Zhao family is simply too much and lawless!!"
The secret guard angrily struck the gong, and the sound became louder and louder.
As the people's discussions gradually died down, the secret guards of Prince Qing's Palace began a new round of roars...
"Zhao Yanyao, the daughter of adultery, is young but vicious and her bad habits are hard to change. She has tried to murder Prince Qing's daughter several times but failed. Today, she actually killed the tutor of Prince Qi's mansion in public."
"Zhao Yanyao has been causing trouble repeatedly, and now he's even murdered someone in Prince Qing's residence. What are his Zhao family members trying to do? Are they trying to sow discord between the two princes? Or are they plotting to discredit the royal family and ultimately overthrow the Daliang Dynasty?"
These secrets that are constantly poured into the ears of the people are actually a mixture of truth and falsehood, but they are terrifying when you think about them carefully.
These are the words that Prince Qing wants the people of Daliang to hear, and even more so, he wants Emperor Liang in the deep palace to hear them.
Although a single move can affect the entire body, some malignant tumors must be dug out, otherwise, in the end, it will not only be the royal heirs who will suffer!
