The Crown Princess, Lu Xiaomei, stood outside the study and did not move.
After a while, the Crown Prince's voice was heard, "Why are you standing outside? Come in!"
Lu Xiaomei entered the study and saw the Crown Prince pacing around with his hands behind his back. His face was full of annoyance and anger.
She approached the Crown Prince and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you worried about the Jade Tower?"
"That bastard!" The Crown Prince stopped and said hatefully, "Ungrateful son of a b * tch!"
Lu Xiaomei sighed.
Ever since he became the Crown Prince, his temperament had changed. His temper was worse than before and he would scold people easily. The Crown Prince was a different person now.
Could it be that power could change a person so quickly?
The Crown Prince turned to look at her, "Are you here to plead for him?"
"Your Highness, please calm down," Lu Xiaomei handed him the tea on the table and said softly, "Why is he going to the Imperial Residence of King An? Although the Emperor has wronged Yurong, it shouldn't be this extreme, right? "
She felt that the Ren Public House's reaction was too extreme. This was not Yurong's style of doing things. After all, she had a good relationship with the Ren Public House. They were related by blood. She would not easily betray the Crown Prince.
Moreover, the Crown Prince's throne was stable. No matter how angry Yurong was, she would not harm the Ren Public House.
There might be some misunderstanding. It was fine as long as it was resolved. There was no need to be so angry. Seeing the Crown Prince being so agitated, was there something he was hiding from her?
Logically, the Crown Prince knew Yurong very well and knew she would not act recklessly.
The Crown Prince's eyes flashed and scoffed, "Yurong might be angry at me for not speaking in front of the Emperor."
Lu Xiaomei said softly, "Yurong is a sensible person. She should know that Your Highness's words are useless."
"Hmph, what sensible!" The Crown Prince sneered and sat back on the armchair.
Lu Xiaomei frowned, "Is there something Your Highness is hiding from me?"
She still trusted Yurong because they grew up together. She knew Yurong's personality. Although she was smart, she was also loyal. She would not betray anyone easily. This matter would not make her betray anyone.
The Crown Prince avoided her gaze and shook his head, "I have nothing to hide."
"Your Highness!" Lu Xiaomei frowned, "You and your wife are one. Do you want to hide something from me?"
The Crown Prince shook his head and said, "Anyway, if she leaves us this time, do you think I can bear it?"
"Why is it!" Lu Xiaomei said, "Is it because Your Highness didn't plead with the Emperor? Or does she hate Your Majesty, so she wants to throw the royal court into chaos? "
"Yes! Right, right! " The Crown Prince hurriedly nodded and said, "She must have this idea. She wants the imperial court to be in a mess as revenge against Father!"
"Sigh." Lu Xiaomei sighed. "If I were to encounter something like this, I would be disheartened as well. I would be disappointed in the Ji Dynasty and the Emperor."
"Shh —!" The Crown Prince hurriedly put a finger in front of his lips and glared at her. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lu Xiaomei gently shook her head and said, "I've always been very sad. The Emperor is making things difficult for a woman. It's really disappointing."
"Shut up!" The Crown Prince's expression changed.
He looked left and right and said in a bad mood, "Do you think Imperial Father can't hear you?"
"So what if His Majesty hears it?" Lu Xiaomei snorted, "If he can do it, can't other people say it? As Yurong's aunt, can't I say something fair? "
"You." The Crown Prince helplessly sighed. "Do you think Imperial Father doesn't feel aggrieved? Imperial Father feels aggrieved more than anyone else, but what can we do? It's the Fu Dynasty, the Fu Dynasty that we can't defeat!"
"Even so, we can't sacrifice a woman," Lu Xiaomei said.
The Crown Prince said, "Women aside, even I have to sacrifice myself when it's time. Everything is for the Ji Dynasty!"
Lu Xiaomei shook her head and did not say anything else. She sighed and said, "I'll persuade Yurong."
"Don't persuade her. They've already done it. What's the point of persuading them? It's not like you don't know what kind of person she is. Once she takes action, no one can persuade her. "The Crown Prince said in a bad mood.
"Sigh." Lu Xiaomei faintly sighed. "Could it be that she wants to go against you?"
"That's for sure." The Crown Prince sneered. "Looks like Xu An is starting to get restless!"
"Your Highness, he's the Emperor's grandson." Lu Xiaomei advised. "There's no need to lower yourself to his level. You'll only mess things up."
"Don't underestimate this brat." The Crown Prince sneered and shook his head. "If he really wants the throne, he's no less of a threat than King Ping!"
Lu Xiaomei frowned. "Is it because of Yurong?"
"Yurong is smarter than a monkey. Will she fight a battle she's not confident in?" The Crown Prince's face darkened. He scoffed. "Since she dares to seek refuge in the Imperial Residence of King An, it means that the Imperial Residence of King An has enough confidence."
"I'll persuade Yurong." Lu Xiaomei said. "I'll invite Yurong to the Imperial Residence. When the time comes, you'll apologize to her personally and this matter will be over. Who else is more reassuring than her?"
The Crown Prince slowly nodded.
—
A bright moon hung high in the sky. Its clear light shone all over the Fairy's Capital.
The Crown Prince's Residence was also bathed in its clear light.
The backyard was brightly lit, but it was very quiet. There was a small pagoda in the middle of a flowerbed. Yurong, Lu Xiaomei, and the Crown Prince sat in the pagoda. There were no maids or protectors. Lu Xiaomei personally poured tea and wine.
"Yurong, you're quite bold to come alone!" The Crown Prince sat in the main seat and looked at Yurong casually.
Yurong wore a white tunic and a white veil covered her face. Only her bright eyes could be seen.
She said lightly, "Why wouldn't I dare? The Fairy's Capital is peaceful. Who would dare to assassinate me on the streets? Aunt, you don't have to be so busy. I'll leave after saying a few words. "
Lu Xiaomei said angrily, "Why are you leaving? You're treating me like an outsider!"
Yurong smiled faintly and glanced at the Crown Prince. "Looks like uncle didn't tell you what happened."
The Crown Prince quickly said, "Yurong, are you going to seek refuge with Xu An?"
Yurong nodded. "If I don't seek refuge with someone else, I'm afraid I'll die a horrible death. I have no other choice."
"Yurong, what do you mean?" Lu Xiaomei frowned.
She looked at the Crown Prince hesitantly.
The Crown Prince scoffed. "Don't try to drive a wedge between me and your aunt. You really are going to betray me!"
Yurong laughed softly. "I didn't expect uncle to be so shameless. Don't you know why I betrayed you?"
"Hmph, what do I know!" The Crown Prince said coldly. "I just wanted to test you. I was right!"
"I really have to thank uncle for being merciful!" Yurong laughed coldly. "Test me? To see if I'll die or not? "
"Yurong!" Lu Xiaomei frowned. "Your uncle is going to kill you."
"Ask uncle!" Yurong stared coldly at the Crown Prince.
Lu Xiaomei looked at the Crown Prince with a dark face.
The Crown Prince coughed. "I just wanted to test her. I didn't expect her to seek refuge with someone else!"
Yurong scoffed. "If it wasn't for Chu Li coming in time to scare you away, I'd be dead by now!"
