Crown Prince Manor.
In the main hall, the Crown Princess Consort and Zhu Gaochi were eating at a table.
"Did Zhan Xin write back?”
Zhang shi looked at him and asked,"
"No, I haven't."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head.
Immediately, Zhang shi's expression turned somewhat ugly.
"Why didn't you write back after so long? Did you hide it?”
Zhang shi looked at him with a face full of complaints, venting all the depression in her heart on him.
"Sigh, don't slander my innocence.”
Zhu Gaochi quickly said. What did this have to do with him? Wasn't Zhang shi still in charge of this residence? If there was really a letter, how could she not know?
"Humph."
Zhang shi coldly snorted.
"Let me tell you, if I find out that you hid the letter behind my back.”
As she spoke, she flashed the long sword at her waist.
Instantly, Zhu Gaochi's face darkened.
"How dare I?"
Zhu Gaochi smiled awkwardly.
Last time, Zhang shi had specially shown him that sword. At that time, he had been frightened. If Zhang shi was really angry, she would stab him.
Fine, let's prepare for the funeral. That sword was so sharp that even in Zhang shi's hands, it could easily cut through stones.
Yes, it wasn't cut open. It was sliced open as easily as cutting tofu.
Of course, he also knew that Zhang shi was just putting on an act for him to see. Their relationship was not as good as brandishing knives and swords.
But when he thought of the things Zhan Chen had left for Zhang shi, a peerless sword and a pile of pills.
Looking at himself, he only had a few pills. Just thinking about it made his heart ache. Why was the difference so big?
"I don't think you would dare."
Seeing that he was so honest, Zhang shi did not find trouble with him anymore.
She looked at the snow-white sleeves around her waist and thought that it was a self-defense gift from her son. She could not help but smile.
It was good to have a son who cared so much about him. He did not dote on him for nothing.
Zhu Gaochi seemed to have thought of something.
"Oh right, don't forget to take your medicine.”
As he spoke, he greeted the servant. Soon, the servant came up with a plate with a jade box on it.
Zhang shi opened the jade box and picked up a pill, preparing to put it into her mouth.
However, when he saw Zhu Gaochi's envious gaze, he stopped.
"Want to eat?"
Zhu Gaochi nodded, then shook his head in a hurry.
This was a pill given to her by Zhan Chen, he didn't have the guts to eat it. As for giving it to the second brother, he had no choice. He couldn't just watch him die.
As a result, the only pill left was the Vitality Pill. Fortunately, Zhang Shi didn't care about these things. If there were, then there were. If there weren't, then there weren't.
"Go and send one to the crown prince.”
Seeing him like this, Zhang shi instructed the maid at the side.
Don't misunderstand, she wasn't doubting the pill. She just wanted to tease him.
The moment Zhu Gaochi heard, he hurriedly took the medicinal pill.
He couldn't be blamed for stealing it. It was Zhang shi who wanted to give it to him. He had already rejected it, but he couldn't resist Zhang shi's good intentions.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi eat the pill with satisfaction, Zhang shi also took the pill and then shouted to the servant.
"Give half of the pills to the Crown Prince.”
She rolled her eyes at him.
"No, there's no need."
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly waved his hand. He only needed to eat one. If he really ate more, it would be hard to explain.
"That pill is for you women to replenish your blood. I was just craving to try it. It's useless for me to eat it.”
He endured his heartache and explained.
Different from Zhu Zhan Xin secretly giving her some, he directly gave it to Zhang shi, saying that it was paid for by the palace's Pill House.
In any case, she had eaten this thing a lot in the past, so Zhang shi would definitely not doubt it.
"Replenishing blood?"
Zhang shi's expression suddenly became somewhat strange as she sized him up.
"That's true. You don't need to nourish your body.”
Then, Zhang shi nodded to the servant, and the servant left.
After eating, Zhang Shi returned to Zhan He's courtyard. She didn't ask Zhu Gaochi what had happened recently.
She did not want to get involved in this now. After calming down, she also noticed something strange.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Gaochi was still able to remain so calm. Either he still had a backup plan, or he was playing a game.
Her husband was never as simple as he looked. That silly look was just for show.
If they believed it, they would be fooled.
Previously, her actions were also probing. It could be seen that he was in a good mood and was not that worried.
This made her feel at ease.
Therefore, one must not underestimate her. How could someone who could become the Crown Princess Consort and manage the harem not be scheming at all?
It was just that she was usually too lazy to show off.
"Sigh, I wonder how Second Brother is doing.”
Zhu Gaochi sighed.
Now, he was worried about Second Brother's condition.
He was the main character of this scene!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. His expression froze as he walked to the window.
As soon as he opened the window, a piece of paper fell out. He looked out and saw that there was no one else.
Zhu Gaochi was already used to this. He had long been used to the elusive appearance of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
After opening the note and reading the contents, he could not help but be shocked. The news on it was really too shocking.
Of course, he did not doubt the authenticity of this news.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards would never pass this information to him without confidence.
The news was about Jianwen's remaining members.
That's right, if Jianwen could sneak into their territory, why couldn't they?
Don't joke around. The Embroidered Uniform Guards were in their hands. If they couldn't even compare to this, then there was no need for them to guard this dynasty.
In terms of intelligence gathering, there was really no one in the Brocade Guard who could compare to them.
"It seems that there are indeed too many Rats in the court.”
Zhu Gaochi's expression was somewhat solemn. At this moment, a trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes.
He, Zhu Gaochi, said that he was benevolent, but that depended on who he was dealing with. These guys were disrupting the world and trying to shake the world. If he still showed mercy, he would not be benevolent but stupid.
As for the Han King, he had also received a letter from an unknown person.
After reading the letter, his expression turned grave.
"What's wrong?"
The Han Princess Consort looked at him worriedly.
"It's okay. Just pretend that you didn't see this today. Do you hear me?”
The Han King warned her solemnly.
The Han Princess Consort nodded. She was not stupid. The Han King must have his reasons for doing this.
She believed that her man would never harm her.
"Good girl."
The Han King smiled and pinched her face.
"You may leave."
The Han King coaxed her, and the Han Princess Consort left obediently.
After she left, the Han King's expression immediately turned cold.
"You've finally taken the bait, rats.”
