Long Live the Empress

Chapter 273 Looking for the Prince

Along the way, the prince diligently introduced Yue Jinghao to the pavilions and towers in the prince's mansion, as well as various strange rocks. Although these were not as good as the Qiansui Palace, they were also the best decorated among the princes' mansions.

Yue Jinghao agreed with the prince's occasional compliments, but she was already thinking: in her previous life, after the prince broke off the engagement, her reputation was greatly damaged. Not to mention getting married, she didn't even dare to attend the banquet. It was at that time that Wei Zilin showed great courtesy to her, leading her step by step to the conspiracy that had been arranged long ago...

"Princess Jing'an! Princess Jing'an?" The prince was speaking with great joy, but seeing that Yue Jinghao did not respond, he called her a few words.

Yue Jinghao came to her senses and smiled at the prince: "I have been here for such a long time, why don't I see my second sister...ah, I am sorry, it is Aunt Yue..."

The prince had already been immersed in Yue Jinghao's smile, so how could he blame her?

"She's clumsy and gets tired after just a few steps. She probably hasn't even gotten up yet!"

Yue Jinghao nodded, "The Crown Prince is really very kind to Aunt Yue! I can rest assured now!"

"She is my woman, so I must treat her sincerely!" The prince's words were ambiguous. Although Yue Jinghao had become the eldest princess's daughter, he believed that as long as Yue Jinghao was willing, the eldest princess would have a way to make them happy.

Although Fan Huarong was serving beside the prince, he could not get a word in. Looking at Yue Jinghao's stunning beauty and noble status, as well as the prince's attentiveness, Fan Huarong felt so sour in his heart! At this time, they mentioned Yue Jinghong, and Fan Huarong was thinking about how to humiliate Yue Jinghao!

Fan Huarong secretly winked at the maid behind him, and the maid left the crowd silently.

When the maid found Yue Jinghong, Yue Jinghong was limping while sweeping the yard.

"Aunt Yue, you really made it hard for me to find you!"

Yue Jinghong thought that it was another maid coming to humiliate her, so she lowered her head and continued cleaning.

Seeing Yue Jinghong didn't say anything, the maid ran up to her and said, "I heard that my aunt's brother has been confined for several days, and he has nothing to eat or drink. I really don't know how they are going to survive! Master Yue is really cruel!"

No matter what Yue Jinghong felt, she was still thinking about Aunt Su and Yue Tianhong. When she heard the maid say this, her hands stopped involuntarily.

Seeing that her words had an effect, the maid said again: "If this person does not eat, he can survive for half a month, but if he does not drink water, he can only live for seven days at most! Alas... Master Yue is young and strong and can still hold on, but Aunt Su..."

"Stop talking!" Yue Jinghong couldn't stand listening to such unlucky words, so she immediately scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The maid curled her lips and snatched the broom from Yue Jinghong's hand. "When I came here, I saw the prince smiling. I guess he is in a good mood today. If I ask him to speak for the eldest son, he will definitely agree!"

Yue Jinghong's instep hurt so much that, under the persuasion of her maid, she went to ask for an audience with the prince in a fit of rage.

When the maid saw that Yue Jinghong had taken the bait, the stone in her heart fell. If she failed to complete Fan Huarong's instructions, she would definitely suffer physical pain!

The maid suddenly remembered something and called out from behind Yue Jinghong: "The prince is in the back garden right now, Auntie, don't take a detour!"

Yue Jinghong combed her dry hair with her fingers and endured the pain while looking for the prince in the back garden.
