He slowly turned around and saw that hateful face. “General Xiao? Why are you here?” After asking, he reacted. “Are you the one the Imperial Court arranged to send food this time?”
As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept across Xiao Ran’s injured leg. It was obvious that he did not know that Xiao Ran had recovered.
Xiao Ran’s heart skipped a beat. She tilted her shoulder and immediately pretended that it was inconvenient for her to walk. “Yes.”
Gu Chang’an helplessly reached out to support her. His wife was playing. Other than helping her, what else could he do?
Xiao Ran and Gu Chang’an were here to look for Xiaoxiao. Seeing that the Crown Prince had ill intentions, they naturally had to ask, “What is the Crown Prince doing?”
The Crown Prince had not studied for nothing all these years. He knew better than anyone the principle of striking first at critical moments. Hence, his face was filled with righteous indignation. “As everyone knows, the land at the border is not suitable for farming, but there are some ignorant and incompetent people who want to use Third Brother’s name to coerce the commoners to farm for her.”
“She’s simply fooling around! The lives of the commoners here are already difficult, and she’s still bullying others like this. I naturally can’t ignore her. Such a person who uses her power to intimidate others needs to be severely punished.”
He had also thought about it later. After discovering that the village girl had actually planted watermelons indiscriminately, he would take over those watermelon fields on the grounds that this person was shameless and ignorant. In this way, the rare items would naturally fall into the hands of the Yan Family.
Xiao Ran was new here and definitely didn’t know anything about what had happened. She would do whatever he said.
Xiao Ran smiled, but her eyes were cold. “Oh, is that so?”
She patted her husband’s hand, which was tightened a little tightly on her arm. Then what do you think should be the appropriate punishment, Your Highness?”
The Crown Prince snorted and habitually glanced at Shao Lin to let him speak. The latter cleared his throat and said, “This is the military camp, so it’s natural for her to be punished according to military law. With what she did, she should be punished with 50 military strokes, right?”
Her husband’s hand was tightened, but Xiao Ran could empathize with him Would their daughter really be bullied by the Crown Prince if they didn’t come? They couldn’t even bear to say harsh words to their precious daughter, let alone be beaten up?
This b*stard advisor was bold enough to ask for 50 military rods that could kill her 10 times.
Very good, they would remember this lackey.
Coincidentally, Xiaoxiao found out that her parents were coming and ran over excitedly to welcome them. Then, she saw the Crown Prince’s long face.
They clearly had the same father. Why was it that Little Big Brother was handsome and good-looking, while the Crown Prince only had the face of a stepmother? He looked like everybody owed him millions of taels of silver. They didn’t know what was wrong with Noble Consort Ji, but she didn’t dote on the handsome man she gave birth to and actually liked this sulky type. Xiaoxiao hated the Crown Prince too much, so she greeted him perfunctorily and looked at her parents. She blinked and said, “Greetings, Chef Gu. Greetings, General Xiao. I heard that the two of you want to see my vegetable garden?” It was fine with General Xiao, but Chef Gu? Gu Chang’an was between laughter and tears, but the anger in his heart dissipated a little.
Her daughter’s eyes flickered. It was unknown if she wanted to show off more results to the two of them or if she wanted to be naughty. The two of them followed her instructions and did not expose their relationship for the time being. They nodded. “I’m indeed a little curious.”
Xiaoxiao immediately smiled. “Then I’ll show you around! I planted a lot of things!”
This was the first time the Crown Prince had seen her smile like this. For a moment, he felt that this village girl did not look bad. Other than her thick bangs being an eyesore, she had a pair of big and round eyes, a small nose, red lips, and white teeth. Her skin was not as dark as the ordinary people at the border. Her fair skin that was not covered by her clothes seemed to be worthy of being “as fair as cream”?
He suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes because he had not been close to women for many days.
As usual, Shao Lin wanted to make his presence known. “How bold and unruly.
Why did they stop His Highness the Crown Prince from entering?”
Xiaoxiao looked puzzled. “Why is the Crown Prince going in?”
The Crown Prince took a deep breath. “I’m doing what General Xiao and her husband are doing.”
Xiaoxiao scrunched up her face. “Chef Gu and General Xiao came to study the vegetables in the field and see if they could make anything delicious to add to the soldiers’ meals. Are you the same? But do you know how to cook? Didn’t the chef you brought get executed because he betrayed the country? Did you bring another chef? Or are you also a culinary enthusiast? Do you know how to make egg fried rice? Do you know how to cut potato shreds?”
This series of words came out of her mouth like a series of bullets. The most hateful thing was that the Crown Prince could not answer a single word. He simply changed his reason. “I came to look for you to get the ancient books that recorded Clairvoyant. This time, don’t say that you got the wrong one again!” He couldn’t hold back his anger. It was an accident that she took the wrong book once, but she gave him the wrong incomplete book twice. If he still didn’t realize that she did it on purpose, he wouldn’t be the Crown Prince anymore! Xiaoxiao was vexed. “Ah, but I’m in the midst of research and don’t want to give it to you.”
How dare she! She was simply bold! If he did not let her see his methods, this short-sighted village girl would probably not know how many eyes he had.
The Crown Prince glanced at Shao Lin again. The latter understood and immediately put his hands on his hips. “This is your fault. How can you take someone else’s things for yourself so naturally?”
Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Oh? What do you mean?”
Shao Lin said, “When we went back, we suddenly remembered that there was a book in the Crown Prince’s residence that recorded the method of making Clairvoyants. Later on, it was stolen by a servant at home and disappeared without a trace… His Highness doesn’t intend to hold you responsible. You just have to return the things obediently now.”
Good lord, did this mean that the book that recorded the Clairvoyant came from the Crown Prince’s residence and was stolen by her? He was clearly planning to snatch it if he could not get it.
Even if her parents weren’t around, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t let him show off. Moreover, her backers were beside her now. Xiaoxiao tilted her head. “You must be mistaken. My mother gave me this book.”
Shao Lin immediately said, “Then your mother must be that thief! The Crown Prince is kind and didn’t intend to argue with you. If you’re stubborn, we can only take you and your mother down and punish you for stealing! How many lives do you have to steal from the Crown Prince!”
They didn’t see that Xiao Ran’s smile was gone and she was filled with a murderous aura.
Good, very good.
What they saw today was enough to prove how the Crown Prince and his subordinates bullied Xiaoxiao when they were not around!
Shao Lin was still nagging. “Besides, I can tell at a glance that this Clairvoyant is used in the army. You, a commoner, hid this thing and refused to return it to the Crown Prince. Who are you thinking of giving it to? The Xiongnu or the Southern Barbarian? This is a crime of colluding with the enemy!”
Xiaoxiao sighed. “You’re scaring me like this. I…”
Before she could finish speaking, the guards suddenly knelt down in unison..
“General, we can guarantee that Miss doesn’t have that intention!”
