(s: For the next big plot, please remember that the Fourth Prince is only five years old. All the choices people make are based on their own values and experiences. He is still young and will grow up. He will not do bad things. Darlings, please don’t criticize him from a God’s perspective, or I will be sad.)
The second prince is very upset now.
Because just now at the palace banquet, Liuyun said that the man wanted to see him.
In order to force himself to see her, she even used his token to kidnap Sheng Xiuran from Chonghua Palace!
He had suffered some loss a few days ago because of Sheng Mingcheng's lawsuit. If it weren't for the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, he would still be under house arrest.
Unexpectedly, she couldn't bear it anymore and started doing something behind my back.
The second prince went back to Chonghua Palace in person, and sure enough, Sheng Xiuran was no longer in the side hall. Instead, there was a note left on the table, marking a location in Chunhua Garden.
The second prince had a sinister look on his face and slowly crumpled the note in his hand into a ball.
He had long anticipated that placing bets on women would backfire sooner or later, so he had already arranged a way out and an ending for them.
But he didn't expect that she would be so impatient as to overestimate her own abilities and ruin his plan.
She is indeed a folk dancer who has no idea what the rules are!
Liuyun stood respectfully beside the Second Prince, and said with a worried look on her face: "Your Highness, what should we do now? Let me send her away for you!"
The Second Prince shook his head slowly. "She has made such thorough preparations. She will not stop until she sees me."
Liuyun's worry deepened when she heard this. "I'm afraid she will do something stupid and affect your great cause. After all, she is now a concubine and is quite favored."
The second prince pinched the paper ball in his hand, his expression indifferent, and suddenly asked: "Have you sorted out all the information she has sent over this period of time?"
Liuyun nodded carefully, "Everything has been sorted out. I have completely figured out that person's nighttime routine and habits."
The Second Prince nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, and said calmly, "In that case, she is of no use. Liuyun, bring me the medicine."
Liuyun trembled slightly when he heard this, and for a moment he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
That man actually dared to covet Your Highness and even deliberately kidnapped Sheng Xiu Ran to force Your Highness. He really deserves to die.
But His Highness's decisiveness in killing made her feel a little frightened.
Liuyun did not dare to show any abnormality and went out to get the medicine obediently. When he came back, he handed a small porcelain bottle to the Second Prince.
"Your Highness, the medicine is here."
The second prince's eyes were clear and cold, and when they fell on Liuyun, it was as if he could see through her thoughts.
"Liuyun, you are different. Don't think too much."
After the second prince finished speaking, he strode out without any followers.
Liuyun froze in place for a moment, her heart beating violently. Her face felt hot when she recalled what the Second Prince had just said.
She knew that she shouldn't have any extravagant thoughts. As long as she could stay by His Highness' side, that was enough...
The second prince walked from Chonghua Palace to Chunhua Garden, first bypassing Chunshui Lake, and then came to the archway.
He stroked the small porcelain bottle in his sleeve and let out a breath.
The next moment, he walked quickly inside according to the location marked on the paper.
Meng Guxue was sitting on the steps not far from the statue of Niangniang Yu Liu, waiting with her chin in her hands.
There is shade here, so it's cooler.
Although the weather in May is not hot yet, the sun is already quite scorching.
Meng Guxue was bored to death and could only repeat his own opening remarks over and over again, preparing to take down the second prince in one fell swoop!
She was cheering herself up with confidence when she looked up and suddenly saw a figure passing by the corner.
She didn't see it clearly at first, but she recognized the color. The Second Prince was wearing a dark blue suit today!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue stood up suddenly.
As expected, she got what she was waiting for!
It’s a pity that she was sitting in a bad position. The shade of the trees and the statues may have blocked her figure, causing the second prince to not notice her.
But it doesn't matter, she can just chase him, right? Chunhua Garden is so small, is there any fear that there won't be an "accidental encounter"?
Meng Guxue lifted her skirt and ran in the direction where the second prince disappeared with full of anticipation.

Qiao Diyi held Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms and followed the Fourth Prince all the way to the depths of Yuhua Lake.
The Fourth Prince was also quite capable. He hid here and there with his small body and did not make any sound.
Yu Zhaoyi and Liu Lu were so guilty that they hurried all the way without noticing that the Fourth Prince was following them.
Seeing how hard the Fourth Prince was working, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh secretly.
[This naive girl didn't know what she heard in the side hall, and followed with all her might. ]
[He didn't know that by following, he ended up in Hades' palace.]
Qiao Diyi: “…”
I didn’t realize before that my little sister is also good at making sarcastic remarks.
What a hurtful thing to say...
After wandering around for a while, the Fourth Prince suddenly hid behind a rockery.
The place was blocked by lush green bushes, and he was wearing dark clothes. If he didn't reach out and feel around, he wouldn't be able to find anything if he squatted inside.
Qiao Diyi knew that he should have reached his destination. He looked around and found a big, dense tree behind the rockery. He jumped up lightly, and when he landed, the branch didn't even shake.
Qiao Jiaojiao was secretly shocked.
[Oh my god, is this the ancient Qinggong? Absolutely!]
[Luckily, my second brother brought me here. No one else would be able to do it so stealthily! ]
Upon hearing this, Qiao Diyi couldn't help but feel a little proud.
That's it!
He is born to be a martial artist. His father said that he will surpass his master in the future!
From Qiao Jiaojiao's position, the rockery just blocked her body, but if she leaned forward slightly, she could see the scene inside the rockery through the gaps between the dense leaves.
[Wow, this peeping angle is amazing! ]
Qiao Jiaojiao was amazed. She had already seen Yu Zhaoyi and Liu Lu hiding in the rockery, but for some reason, they both looked a little panicked.
"Liu Lu, are you sure you remembered the right place? Where is Sheng Xiuran?"
Liu Lu looked terrified, "My Lady, I definitely didn't remember it wrongly. I had Sheng Xiuran thrown here!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked. She didn't expect to hear Sheng Xiuran's name here!
[Wasn't Sheng Xiuran given to the second prince as a concubine by Emperor Yong? From what Yu Zhaoyi said, she actually kidnapped Sheng Xiuran? And then Sheng Xiuran disappeared inexplicably again? ]
[Eh - wait! Why did she tie up Sheng Xiuran? Could it be... could it be that Yu Zhaoyi dressed like this to meet the Second Prince? So this Yu Zhaoyi is the Second Prince's person? ]
[Wait, I think I understand! Given the Second Prince's cautiousness, he would definitely not risk meeting with the imperial concubine in the palace. Could it be that Yu Zhaoyi wanted to force the Second Prince to meet her, so she used a trick to kidnap Sheng Xiuran? ]
Qiao Jiaojiao felt that she had discovered the truth!
Qiao Diyi was almost confused by Qiao Jiaojiao's words. He decided to be a tool and do whatever Qiao Jiaojiao said!
Qiao Jiaojiao continued to guess.
[This Concubine Yu is so well-intentioned, could it be that she really likes the Second Prince? ]
[This is not impossible. After all, in the old romance novels, the male protagonist is a popular figure and he is also very handsome! ]
[However, isn’t it a bit too exciting to play with this kind of “stepmother” literature? ]
[Also, the male lead looks like Princess Yu Liu, and this Concubine Yu also looks like Princess Yu Liu. Doesn't it feel uncomfortable for Concubine Yu to fall in love with the male lead? ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, your circle is really messy——]
Qiao Jiaojiao was lost in thought when a dark blue figure suddenly came from another direction.
Qiao Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.
[The person Yu Zhaoyi is dating is indeed the male lead! There’s something interesting to watch! 】
