Chapter 141 The Woman the Prince is Looking for
Looking at the Crown Princess's back as she walked away,
Concubine Zhang was so angry that her gums bled.
Li Liangdi's ethereal and cold expression could no longer be maintained and her face fell.
Without the Crown Prince's summons, they would not dare to wander around in the front yard even if they had a hundred courages, not to mention that that was the Crown Prince's outer study where he held meetings.
The two returned to their respective residences in disappointment.
Lu Liangyuan and her concubine Qian, who were watching the show through the crack in the door, smiled.
They patted their chests in joy and said to their personal maids,
"See? Fortunately, I didn't go and ask for trouble. Otherwise, if I angered the Crown Princess, I would have a hard time in the future."
*
In the East Palace, the women who seemed to be in harmony were only calm on the surface. The reason was that they all knew it well.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never paid any attention to them, and perhaps he didn't even know their names.
What's more, the prince did not favor any of them, including the crown princess.
But if the ironclad law of unity is broken, no one knows what kind of trouble will arise.
*
The Crown Princess went to the outer study room with full confidence, feeling like an excited and happy little rabbit.
"See Crown Princess."
Eunuch Xiaodouzi bowed to the Crown Princess who was walking towards him excitedly, and immediately got up and ran away.
"Stop! Xiaodouzi, why are you so flustered?"
Before the chief palace maid Xia He could speak, Zhao Yaxue asked anxiously.
"Reporting to the Crown Princess, I have to rush to the Imperial Hospital immediately. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a high fever."
After Xiao Douzi finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for Zhao Yaxue to say anything.
"What? Cousin has a fever again?"
The Crown Princess' body swayed a few times, and was supported by the two senior palace maids beside her. She murmured in disbelief,
"So what should we do tonight?"
The two senior palace maids, Xia He and Qiu Lan, who were supporting her, could no longer maintain the disappointed and miserable expressions on their faces.
They still have dreams in their hearts, and want to take advantage of the Crown Princess's indisposition to show their talents, seduce themselves into the Crown Prince's bed, and become a concubine or something, which would be a great honor for their ancestors.
However, ideals are full of hope, but reality is very cruel, and the two people's swollen hearts were deflated again.
*
In order to avoid being accused of being disobedient and unfilial, the prince secretly took a cold shower to hurt himself.
Because he was seriously injured by the cold, he developed a high fever, so eunuch Xiaodouzi hurriedly went to call the imperial physician.
There was another commotion in the study outside the East Palace.
Finally, after the prince's fever subsided and he fell asleep, Princess Zhao Yaxue, who had been kept out of the door and felt ashamed and annoyed, ran to Kunning Palace in the middle of the night crying and feeling wronged.
*
Kunning Palace.
The empress, who was awakened, came out of the inner room in her middle clothes.
Looking at his crying niece, he was so angry that he pointed at her and scolded her,
"You are so useless! You disappoint me so much!
You said? How many chances did I give you? You couldn't grasp them time and time again, and you just kept crying.
Why did I choose someone as stupid as you to enter the palace?!"
The Queen was still not satisfied after scolding, so she smashed a beloved ornament.
"Aunt! Wuwuwu...My cousin doesn't like Xue'er, what can I do?"
Faced with her aunt's anger, Zhao Yaxue suddenly burst into tears.
Crying and complaining about her grievances.
"He is your husband, and you are his Crown Princess who was married to the East Palace in a grand sedan chair. The Crown Prince is now at the age of full vigor and vitality. If you can't control his heart, can you control his body too?"
"The Queen?"
The queen's personal maid Liu exclaimed and grabbed the queen who was so angry that she lost control and spoke without restraint.
Queen Qin knew that she had spoken out of turn, and under Zhao Yaxue's stunned gaze, who had forgotten to cry, she slowed down her tone and said:
"Xue'er, your aunt is teaching you this! It's said that men are afraid of grinding and women are afraid of seducing. Think about it carefully and go back!"
After the Queen finished speaking, she looked extremely tired and held on to Nanny Liu's hand and returned to the inner room.

The next day, the prince got up from bed feeling dizzy after having a high fever after taking a cold bath.
While drinking the warm rice porridge, I received a secret report from the spy.
After watching the kneeling man in black finish his report, he remained silent.
After a while, the prince asked,
"Are you sure this is the woman the Second Prince is looking for?"
"Your Highness, it is absolutely true.
The Second Prince did not allow the portrait to be leaked, and only verbally described the general appearance of the woman, and was determined to find her even if he had to dig deep underground."
"Do you know why there is such a big fuss?"
"Your Highness, I don't know."
"Well, go ahead! Confuse his vision and disrupt the direction of his search. Continue to monitor closely."
"Yes! I will take my leave now."
The prince watched the people leave, but his heart became heavier and heavier.
Based on the description, he has concluded that the woman the Second Prince Liang Hengrui is looking for is Fang Qingge.
The first thought that came to my mind was whether the Second Prince had noticed the presence of Fang Qingge or the children.
Even if we spare no effort to sabotage and obstruct, Fang Qingge and her son will be discovered one day as long as they are outside.
*
then,
The prince locked himself in his study and did not come out that day.
The counselor Qin Huai came several times but was turned away by Eunuch Fu.
Qin Huai, who didn't understand, couldn't help but ask,
"Eunuch Fu, what happened to His Highness?"
"Shh!"
Eunuch Fu glanced at the closed door and took Qin Huai a few steps away.
"Sir Qin, please don't come over today. His Highness is feeling unwell!"
"Ah? Is it because of that woman again?"
As the Crown Prince's adviser and close friend, Qin Huai certainly knew about this.
Eunuch Fu looked up at him and said nothing more. Then he went back to the study door and waited.
Qin Huai shook his head, put his hands behind his back and walked away silently.
I thought to myself,
"The prince who is pure-hearted and aloof from worldly affairs can't escape the fate of love! I just don't know whether this is good or bad!"
**
Fang Qingge was completely unaware of the undercurrents in the palace.
Half a month later,
The prince quietly jumped into the back garden of Fang's mansion in the middle of the night.
The sleepy Fang Qingge was immediately awakened by the alarm device set by the elf.
"Elf, is that guy here again?"
"Master, yes."
"Is he drunk again?"
"I don't know, Master."
The little elf who was sleeping with the babies yawned, meowed a few times, turned over and fell asleep again.
Fang Qingge didn't want to see this person, but was afraid that he would get drunk and make some noise. After tossing and turning, he finally put on his clothes and found an excuse to go to the back garden.
In the distance, the patrolling housekeeper Zhang was acupunctured by the man in black hiding in the dark. Housekeeper Zhang went back to his room and went to sleep obediently as if he was sleepwalking.
*
under the moonlight,
"Why are you here again?"
Fang Qingge was stunned for a moment as he looked at the prince who had suddenly lost a lot of weight, then asked him while keeping a safe distance.
"Qingge!"
With a soft call, the prince looked at her with burning eyes.
