What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 64: Tang Jiaojiao, You’re Really Something

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Tang Jiaojiao, You’re Really Something

Seeing Pingyang Princess again was on the day after the coming-of-age ceremony.

Early in the morning, Tang Xiaobai was taken directly from the classroom and entered the palace with Tang Jiaojiao, ostensibly summoned by Pingyang Princess.

But the Princess did not have the authority to independently summon the daughters of officials.

Moreover, when Pingyang Princess saw them, her face could be described as panicked.

"It’s my fault for implicating you," Pingyang Princess held Tang Jiaojiao’s hand, looking distraught, "I don’t know who spoke irresponsibly in front of Your Majesty, but Father is convinced it was your instigation that made me think of becoming a nun——"

Wasn’t it?

Tang Xiaobai silently glanced at Tang Jiaojiao.

"Even the matter of Ganlu Hall, they think it was you who reminded me..."

Tang Xiaobai sighed, "Parents often behave this way, believing their own children are innocent, and that any wrongdoing is due to someone else’s instigation."

Pingyang Princess paused for a moment, then dismissed those around her and whispered, "Actually... yesterday... someone did indeed teach me..."

The two sisters were equally stunned.

"The matter of Ganlu Hall was also not something I remembered myself; someone reminded me——"

"Who?"

Pingyang Princess shook her head, "I don’t know, but on the seventh day after Fan Chuan’s horse incident, I found a note in my dowry chest saying that the so-called horse incident was plotted by Zhao Jing. I sent people disguised to the Capital Prefecture to investigate, and it turned out to be true..."

Tang Xiaobai grit her teeth; Little Qin was right after all!

"This wasn’t the first note I’ve received either. Last month, there was another about how Zhao Jing got acquainted with Zhen Su... Everything checked out when investigated... I regret my lack of judgment back then, and now that I know, I would never want Zhao Jing again!" She spoke with gritted teeth, fiercely determined.

Tang Xiaobai nodded repeatedly, showing support and admiration.

Pingyang Princess chuckled, hugging her and continued, "Later, that person said Your Majesty would never allow the marriage cancellation, and becoming a nun was the only proper course... So I followed that person’s plan——" At this point, Pingyang Princess’s voice softened, "Who do you think this person is? Why does he want to stop me from marrying Zhao Jing?"

Tang Xiaobai’s eye twitched.

"Maybe he just can’t stand Zhao Jing? What else could it be? If it were me, I’d rather you become a nun than marry Zhao Jing!" Tang Jiaojiao coldly shattered Pingyang Princess’s reverie.

Pingyang Princess pouted, "Becoming a nun is just a temporary solution. In a couple of years, I’ll find an opportunity to return to secular life!"

Tang Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and asked weakly, "Princess, you’re becoming a nun in honor of the late emperor, can you return to secular life later?"

Pingyang Princess froze suddenly.

"Being in honor of the late emperor doesn’t matter much," Tang Jiaojiao consoled, "Even if you’re not doing it in his honor, it’s against Your Majesty’s wishes, so it’s not easy to return to secular life later."

Pingyang Princess: ...

...

"Will Pingyang Princess change her mind?" Once inside the carriage sent by their family, Tang Xiaobai asked worriedly.

On one side is a scoundrel, and on the other becoming a nun. Isn’t there a way out for our little princess?

"No!" Tang Jiaojiao said emphatically, "Now that she’s said it, she’d have no face left if she backed down in this lifetime!"

"Not everyone is as stubborn as you, right?" Tang Xiaobai muttered.

The young lady glanced at her, "Right, you’re just shameless!"

Why is she scolding people?

Tang Xiaobai was just about to retaliate when suddenly the carriage stopped.

The late summer and early autumn heat hadn’t dissipated; the carriage door was still covered with a semi-transparent veil, through which they could vaguely see someone on a high horse blocking their way.

Someone else is blocking the carriage?

"Sister, has our Duke Yan Mansion really fallen?" How dare people keep blocking the way?

Tang Jiaojiao’s face darkened, she snapped, "Can’t you drive? Are your hands broken?"

The coachman quickly responded in obedience and continued forward.

The person in front guided the horse to one side to make way.

However, as they passed by, they heard that person on the horse sneer: "Tang Jiaojiao, you’re very good!"

The carriage didn’t stop, quickly leaving the person behind.

Tang Jiaojiao leaned comfortably against the carriage wall, chuckled, "Of course, I’m very good! I’m not bad at all now!"

Tang Xiaobai looked back, "Does Zhao Jing also think that you incited the Princess yesterday? Maybe he complained to Your Majesty!"

"He can think whatever he wants!" Tang Jiaojiao sneered disdainfully, "Without Pingyang Princess’s protection, he won’t last long!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Will he retaliate against us?" Tang Xiaobai felt a bit worried.

"Just him?" Tang Jiaojiao dismissed it lightly.

Tang Xiaobai gave her a sideways glance and quietly asked, "So, Sister, what secret do you have that Zhao Jing is holding onto?"

...

Upon reaching outside Jingfeng Gate of the Imperial City, Zhao Jing had just dismounted when he encountered Prince Jin Li Shu walking out. He hurried forward to salute.

Li Shu glanced at him coldly, strode forward, and Zhao Jing understood, following promptly.

"The eldest daughter of Duke Yan isn’t as obedient as you said——" Although Li Shu’s tone was calm, there was a hint of annoyance.

Earlier, Zhao Jing had said Tang Jiaojiao admired him, and that as long as he spoke, he could stop Tang Jiaojiao from obstructing the marriage between Li Yao and Zhao Jing.

Not only did he speak, but he had even praised Tang Jiaojiao, but Tang Jiaojiao promised well on the surface while secretly encouraging Li Yao to avoid the marriage by becoming a nun.

Zhao Jing said quietly, "It was my oversight; I didn’t expect Miss Tang to have such machinations."

Li Shu looked at him, "What purpose do her machinations serve you?"

Zhao Jing paused and said, "She’s always despised my humble origins, and truly that day at Jinchang Village, I did offend her."

Li Shu frowned, "Short-sighted woman!" Is she fit to be a Princess Consort?

"Though Duke Yan is prosperous, his daughter is vulgar and unable to appreciate kindness, unworthy of Your Highness’s favor."

Li Shu sneered, "When did I ever favor her?"

"Indeed," Zhao Jing agreed without batting an eye, "She’s unworthy." But he caught a glimpse of slight irritation and unwillingness in Li Shu’s eyes.

Zhao Jing understood clearly.

Tang Jiaojiao’s lack of appreciation was true, and her breathtaking beauty couldn’t be denied either.

He thought for a moment and said, "When I was in Jiangnan, I heard the daughter of the Suzhou Inspector, Ye Liangsi, is exceptionally beautiful and of a gentle character——"

Li Shu glanced at him coldly, "What do you think I am?"

Zhao Jing stared at him intently, said softly, "Your Highness, with your dragon-like appearance and phoenix-like grace, only one of extraordinary beauty can be your match."

"You’d best think about your own way out!" Li Shu sneered, brushing away his sleeves and leaving.

Zhao Jing slowly straightened, the gloom in his eyes thickening.

On the day of the horse incident outside the city, had it not been Li Shu who saved Tang Jiaojiao, he realized he had underestimated her.

Tang Jiaojiao, in her past life, was ruined and humiliated to death by Li Shu, and if, like him, she had reincarnated with memories, past love would be replaced by deep-seated hatred, and she would no longer heed Li Shu’s instructions.

He didn’t care whether Tang Jiaojiao’s feelings for Li Shu were of love or hate, but she shouldn’t attempt to break his marriage with Li Yao!

If Tang Jiaojiao didn’t stop, then don’t blame him for being ruthless!
