What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 305 - 301: The Eldest Miss Has Arrived

Ren Zhi Palace, Crown Prince’s Palace.

Li Yao shivered involuntarily with the urge to flee as she stepped over the high threshold of the palace.

"Ah Jie is here!" Through several layers of curtains, the young man’s voice was hazy and smiling, sounding gentle and affectionate.

Li Yao stiffly stood at the door and asked, "For what matter does Your Highness summon a minister?"

The Crown Prince was silent for a moment, then laughed, "Why doesn’t Ah Jie come in?"

Li Yao did not answer.

An eerie sigh sounded from inside the hall: "Ah Jie hasn’t visited me in quite a few days. Are you angry with me?"

Quite a few days?

Li Yao was momentarily dazed.

Indeed.

The last time she saw him was more than half a month ago during the Lotus Moon Banquet.

Lonely in the deep palace, apart from the Imperial Guards and attendants, only the two of them depended on each other.

At first, they didn’t meet often due to unfamiliarity and caution, but at some indistinct point, they began to see each other daily.

Until that banquet half a month ago.

The lotus moon was clear and elegant, the young man’s brows and eyes were enchanting.

His soft and fair hand was holding her hand as usual, his gaze flowing and sidelong, drinking the remains of her cup of wine with a smile.

Li Yao fled in panic.

It was not supposed to happen.

She was his cousin!

Thinking of this, Li Yao’s face turned pale, and she instinctively stepped back.

But she only retreated half a step and could not retreat further.

Li Yao opened her mouth but ended up dryly saying just two words: "No, I’m not."

Footsteps echoed from within the hall.

They were the footsteps of the Crown Prince.

Slow, but clear.

Because of the spacious palace, there was even an echo.

Step by step, passing through many layers of curtains, he approached her.

When the slender figure of the young man was cast onto the screen, he stopped.

But then, strolling leisurely, he walked out from behind the screen, stopping in front of her.

The beautiful and amorous eyes reflected the snow-like gleam of a knife, appearing cold.

He was silent for a moment, then smiled again, his tone as cool as autumn: "I thought Ah Jie finally decided to pay attention to me..."

...

Xin Yi was buried in her family land in Fengxian County, Capital Prefecture, alongside her birth mother.

Due to taking this detour, a few days were delayed, and they arrived in the Capital City on July 25th.

According to regulations, military troops stationed outside entering the Capital must stop fifty miles outside the city and cannot proceed without authorization.

Li Mu and the others had to wait at the Capital outskirts station for the emperor’s Ministry of Rites officials to summon them.

But Tang Xiaobai did not have to; she was an external personnel and could enter the city anytime.

However, to be more refreshed when seeing her family, Tang Xiaobai still chose to rest at the station overnight and planned to enter the city and go home early the next morning.

Yet, the next day, before she was fully awake, someone forcibly roused her: "Miss Tang is here!"

Tang Xiaobai barely opened her eyes before she clambered up: "Ah Jie is here? Why is Ah Jie here?"

"Miss Tang specially came to pick up Second Miss!" a girl’s voice sweetly and crisply, both familiar and strange.

Tang Xiaobai squinted one eye open.

A young girl in a goose-yellow blouse, lively and charming, was holding clothes ready to dress her.

"Cheng Zi?" Tang Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here? Did you take leave?"

Cheng Zi replied with an "Mm," while arranging her clothes with her head lowered and jokingly said, "Upon hearing Second Miss was coming back, I agreed with Tao Zi to come early to pick you up!"

At this point, Tao Zi also came in, holding a basin of warm water, just like every day at home before.

Tang Xiaobai felt heartwarming and smiled: "There’s no need for a pick-up; school is important, no need to take leave for such minor things."

With the thought that her older sister had arrived, Tang Xiaobai rushed through her grooming and dashed out without saying goodbye to the two.

Miss Tang’s exclusive luxurious carriage was parked next to the station entrance, and when Tang Xiaobai came out, someone was already standing beside the carriage.

Li Xingyuan.

Li Xingyuan was particularly tall, bending low by the carriage window to be close enough to talk.

He spoke softly with a wide smile.

When Tang Xiaobai approached, she saw him reach out to lift the carriage curtain.

As the brocade curtain interwoven with gold threads was lifted, the beauty’s face was revealed.

In a whisk, the curtain was pulled tight, concealing the beauty inside once again.

"Jiaojiao..." Li Xingyuan called out plaintively, full of grievance.

Tang Xiaobai couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Li Xingyuan turned his head as if shocked, seeing the young girl smiling at him, his face flushed; he cleared his throat against his fist and said sternly, "Why have you just come out? You’ve made your sister wait so long!"

No sooner had he spoken than an object was hurled out from the carriage; Li Xingyuan instinctively caught it without thinking.

Looking at it, it was a fruit, and he beamed with delight as he took a bite.

"Pah!" Miss Tang inside the carriage angrily scolded, "Since when has my sister been subjected to your scolding!"

"Cannot! Cannot!" Li Xingyuan quickly said, "I’m just reminding her!" Then he said to Tang Xiaobai, "Now that you’re here, hurry up and get on the carriage! Come, let me help you up!" showing great enthusiasm.

But as soon as he extended his hand, it was blocked. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The Crown Prince and Tang Ziqian had also come out.

Blocking him was the Crown Prince, without any sense of reservation, blocking him while simultaneously wrapping his arm around Tang Xiaobai, almost holding her entirely in his arms, full of possessiveness.

Seeing that it was him, Tang Xiaobai did not resist but instead smiled at him, sweetly like a honey that’s too rich to dissolve.

Li Xingyuan couldn’t help but click his tongue and turned to look at the girl’s brother.

This couldn’t go unnoticed, but Tang Ziqian’s face was expressionless, showing no comment.

Li Xingyuan was startled.

When did this happen? Had he missed something?

With Tang Ziqian arriving, Tang Jiaojiao emerged.

The carriage curtains were pulled open by attendants on either side, and against that strikingly beautiful face, the red and green silk, golden hairpins, and jade rings all seemed dull and overshadowed.

Descending from the carriage and standing firm, her snow-white cloak below, exuding an indescribable charm, made Li Xingyuan’s eyes stare blankly.

"Ah Brother!" Tang Jiaojiao saluted, lifted her face, with eyes brimming with tears, nearly crying with emotion.

Tang Ziqian patted her shoulder: "First, take Xiaobai back."

Tang Jiaojiao was most obedient to her brother’s words, despite having much to say, she swallowed it all back, took her younger sister’s hand, and bid farewell to Tang Ziqian.

While boarding the carriage, seeing Li Xingyuan reaching out to help, her face blushed slightly, mindful of her brother nearby, she glared at him, pushing his hand away.

Li Xingyuan hadn’t genuinely expected to assist her, satisfied with giving a pinch while being pushed.

Turning around, he saw the Crown Prince holding the girl’s hand with one hand and shockingly supporting her waist with the other!

"You, you are presumptuous!" Li Xingyuan couldn’t help but point at Li Mu, reprimanding him; he hadn’t obtained such treatment!

Li Mu coldly glanced at him.

The one being presumptuous is you, sir.

Li Xingyuan was about to speak, but Tang Ziqian interrupted him: "Enough, let’s head back!"

Tang Jiaojiao happened to have her back turned earlier, missing Li Mu’s actions, only seeing Li Xingyuan’s fierce expression as she turned around, unsure of his intentions, hindered by her brother.

If her brother had interrupted, it must have been negative.

Tang Jiaojiao angrily glared at him again.

Li Xingyuan: ...
