Chapter 888 - Won’t Be Able to Hide It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Jinlu felt a chill from the Crown Prince’s words and stood there with a conflicted look on his face.

It was wrong for the Crown Prince to say it, but it was also wrong for him to say it himself?

“If this can’t be done... Does Your Highness mean that I should let eacher and Eldest Senior Sister do whatever they want?” Jiang Jinlu frowned. “But if it’s the Emperor’s decision that affects millions of people, how can I just stand by and watch?”

“Think about it yourself.” Zhao Xuanjing did not explain it to him.

He was going to chop someone’s head off in the future, not the one who had his head hanging out.

What did it have to do with him as the Emperor?

Fifth junior brother was wrong again.

As expected, he was still too young. His junior brother’s talent was not inferior to Wen Lancheng’s, but different from Wen Lancheng’s. Wen Lancheng was born in a noble family and had always been the focus of local officials and famous families, while his junior brother was born in a poor family. Despite his enthusiasm, he did not have much experience, especially when it came to dealing with those in power.

Jiang Jinlu looked at the Crown Prince and fell silent for a moment.

He was a person who was good at thinking and was not a fool.

The Crown Prince was the Emperor. If he said that he was wrong, then there must be something wrong with his way of doing things. However, what should he do?

At this moment, Xie Qiao was already sitting in the hall. Li Shiyan had a loving expression on his face.

There was no one around, he said, “I didn’t have a fixed residence earlier, so I couldn’t receive your letter. As a result, I didn’t know how you have been doing these past few years. It wasn’t until a while ago that I stayed here for a long time that your Eldest Junior Brother sent a pigeon letter over...

“I heard that you and the Crown Prince are engaged?” Li Shiyan asked.

In the letter, it only informed him that the Crown Prince was engaged. The lady was the famous eldest daughter of Xie Niushan, Xie Qiao.

“Yes.” Xie Qiao nodded. “The Crown Prince is a good person. I’m very satisfied.”

“It’s good that you’re satisfied... I’ve traveled around these years and met many young men. They’re all pretty good-looking. However, compared to the Crown Prince, their intelligence and talent are indeed lacking. If you want to talk about the Crown Prince’s shortcomings...

“These years, he’s been a little colder compared to the time when he was young. I’m afraid that he’ll suffocate you after you guys spend time together,” Li Shiyan added.

Before the Crown Prince’s hand was injured, he was a warm and gentle youth.

“Teacher, with my health, I don’t like a man who’s too noisy and loud. I can’t stand the noise.” Xie Qiao smiled, “His Highness is just right. He’s good-looking and pleasing to the eye. He can just stand there without saying anything. I can admire him all day.”

Li Shiyan shook his head helplessly.

This girl had liked good-looking people since she was young.

The first time she saw him, she said that he looked like an old immortal.

There was also that old Taoist master, Mo Lingzi. He had seen him decades ago. At that time, he was an extremely sloppy and unkempt fraud. No one would suspect him if he pretended to be a beggar. However, under Xie Qiao’s request, he had also become a Taoist immortal who could scare people.

She had high requirements for looks. Therefore, when he took in disciples these years, he could not help but find some good-looking ones…

They were indeed pleasing to the eye and comfortable to look at.

“Then does he know that you are Xie Qiao?” Li Shiyan suddenly asked again.

Xie Qiao was embarrassed when she heard that.

She smiled shyly. “I don’t know, Teacher. Everyone knows that Xie Qiao is not in good health. In the future, when I marry someone, I will use this as a reason to not see him every day. When I have time, I will use the identity of Mo Chusheng to make some money. That won’t be a problem.”

“Girl, don’t let the eagles peck your eyes while you capture them. His Highness is smarter than you think. It’s fine if he can’t find out before you two get married, but if you get married.... you won’t be able to hide it.”
