Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl-Chapter 989 - : The Empress ’Ruthlessness 3
Chapter 989: The Empress ‘Ruthlessness 3
Shangwen Hall.
The Crown Prince sat on a chair and read a book, learning the theory of governing the country. He didn’t move the book according to the book, but instead thoroughly absorbed the book and made it his own, using it according to the actual situation in Great Xia.
Qing ‘er and Shuang’ er waited on him from the side. His Highness took the brush while Qing ‘er grinded the ink and stretched her body. Shuang’ er poured a cup of East Sea Ten Thousand Spirit Tea, pastries, and spiritual fruits that she had prepared, and handed them over.
After lunch, he continued reading.
Being born was one thing, but hard work was also another. No matter how good one’s background was, if one did not work hard enough, they would be nothing more than a plaything in the hands of the cunning fox. Not to mention governing the country, even the imperial power would be taken away.
In the afternoon.
“Are you tired, Your Highness?” Shuang ‘er asked. This servant will massage your shoulders.”
The crown prince nodded casually and his gaze fell on the book, focused and serious. Shuang ‘er walked to the back and rolled up her sleeves. She stretched out her jade-like hand and placed it on her shoulder. She pressed it lightly, skillfully and with moderate strength.
” Yes, Your Highness!” Jin Feng walked in and bowed.” Yue Ya requests an audience!”
The crown prince put down the book and revealed a puzzled expression, wondering what she was doing here. Could it be that Ji Xueyan asked him to come? “What is it?” he asked.
“I’m following Miss Ji’s orders,” said Jin Feng.
“Bring her to Xuanhe Hall.”
“Yes, sir!”
The golden phoenix left.
“Aren’t you very busy these days, Miss Ji?” Qing ‘Er asked. We’ve worked so hard for the development of Jixia Hall, and we’ve just opened up a new situation. Logically speaking, we should be busier. Why did Yueya come?”
The Crown Prince’s wise eyes carried a smile.” She must have finished her work and hasn’t seen me for a while. She heard that I happened to be in the Eastern Palace and asked her to pass on a message.”
He got up from the chair and left with them from the back.
Xuanhe Hall.
Yue Ya stood in the hall and waited. When she heard the footsteps behind her, her head was lowered and a light flashed past. She waited patiently. When she saw the Crown Prince, she quickly went forward and bowed.” This servant greets Your Highness!”
“Xue Yan, why are you looking for me?” The Crown Prince sat on the main seat and smiled. ƒreewebɳovel.com
” Miss has been busy with Jixia Hall for some time now. Now that she’s on the right track, the two businesses she opened are self-sufficient and have a certain amount of profit. The money earned is used to feed the disciples in the hall. Her cultivation has progressed at a rapid pace. It’s rare that she has time. She has been preparing ingredients since noon and will personally cook at night. She has ordered this servant to invite you over.”
The Crown Prince had heard of Ji Xueyan’s culinary skills before. She was very good. His smile grew wider.” Tell your Miss that I will be there in a while.”
Yue Ya hesitated. She gritted her teeth as if she wanted to say something.
“Speak!” The Crown Prince said.
” Y-Miss wants you to go over earlier.” Yueya stammered.” You can spend more time together.”
“Alright! You go back first, I will leave after changing my clothes.”
“This servant will go with you?”
The Crown Prince’s expression didn’t change, and his smile didn’t fade. He was suspicious. With Ji Xueyan’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t rush him. Now that she had said it, she even asked her to come along.
He was very vigilant about what had happened during this period of time. He secretly activated that thing to check…The disguise was gone, and the crescent moon was gone. An unfamiliar face appeared. The Qi Restraint Technique was extremely profound. Only when one cultivated it to a high level could one perfectly conceal one’s aura. Then, he disguised himself as a crescent moon to hide from the Flood Dragon Guards, the golden phoenix, and the hidden experts.
Under the inspection of this item, the person in front of him had a monstrous killing intent hidden in his body. His cultivation was very terrifying. He had actually reached the heaven ascension realm. It was terrifying and even stronger than the golden phoenix.
Their goal was obvious. They wanted to take his life, but they did not know who sent them!
Reaching out, Shuang ‘er passed the teacup to him.
Holding the teacup, the Crown Prince’s thoughts spun quickly. Who was plotting to get rid of him? He had yet to ascend the throne, and even if he did, his mother would not kill him. She would only secretly control him and treat him as a puppet.
If he died, they would suffer the greatest loss. No matter how bad things became, they would not kill him and would be excluded first.
Xia Shiyan?
Yesterday, Yan Lihua had just been defeated. Today, the court was going to divide the fruits of victory. Grand Secretary Cui’s man replaced him as the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, his man Su Muqing became the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Pei Caicai’s man became the governor of Anzhou. This position had previously belonged to Xu Guowen, a member of the Sui Family, who was later transferred to Lanzhou.
Apart from that, all the positions of the people that Yan Lihua had dragged in had also been divided. He and Pei Caihua had both obtained a little. It could be said that in this confrontation, they had earned a lot without any effort.
Only Li Yuliang, Bi Fangjie, Pang Yihai, and Wu Jinxiu’s positions remained empty. Countless people were eyeing the four Secondary Rank-2s, wanting to get them, but they didn’t dare to make any moves. The Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs hadn’t relented, and it was inferred that Emperor Xia hadn’t relented either. With Xu Guowen as an example, all factions were very honest.
For the sake of Yan Lihua, Xia Shiyan would not dare to kill him even if he had the courage to do so. Once he found out anything, no one would be able to save him. He was not a pig and would not be stupid. Even if he was willing, his subordinates would not agree. Others would not be courting death by gambling with their lives.
Other than him, he couldn’t think of anyone else who wanted to kill him!
It didn’t matter.
No matter who was plotting, they had already made their move.
The only thing he had to consider was that the woman in front of him had cultivated for many years and had a profound cultivation. If he wanted to get rid of her and lure the person in the dark out, he had to expose some of his strength.
This made him very unhappy.
The more he moved, the less he would be able to do. His mother was also eyeing him in the dark, wanting to eradicate his own forces. Wu Jinxiu’s matter was done by them. If they showed up now, they would only receive a storm-like blow.
