Chu Zhao glanced at him and calmly took out his hand: "What does the prince want to say?"

Murong Xiao's frown deepened.

Does this woman dislike him?

In the past, she always chased after him and kept her like a treasure if she picked up any of his hair, but now she won't even let him touch her.

Is she really not the original Chu Zhao?

Or is she playing hard-to-get with him?

Ah!

There are no mirrors in the abandoned courtyard. Has she forgotten what she looks like?

Even if you play hard to get, you still have to look at your face, okay?

Murong Xiao took a deep breath and tried to make his tone as calm as possible: "The grandma who examined you before has disappeared. I have been looking for you for several days but can't find her. I am thinking that maybe you were really found by someone. Framed.”

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant: "So, what is the purpose of the prince suddenly telling me this?"

"It's nothing." Murong Xiao said, "Now that the old lady's condition has stabilized, I also know that you were wronged, so I plan to let you move back to Qionghua Courtyard."

"..." Chu Zhao said nothing and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"What are you looking at?" Murong Xiao asked.

"Look at the sun." Chu Zhao said, "Let me see where the sun comes from today."

"You..." Murong Xiao couldn't help but want to get angry again.

This ugly woman is becoming more sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued now, and she can make his heart ache with anger whenever she opens her mouth.

Chu Zhao, however, still looked calm and calm: "The prince is suddenly so kind to me, is he asking for something from me?"

Murong Xiao hesitated for a moment and said: "The old mother of Chief Minister Liu Zongqian suddenly suffered from a headache and fainted. Several doctors were invited but they were unable to do anything. I want you to go and have a look."

The Chief Envoy was an official sent by the imperial court to a local area. He was not only in charge of the administrative finance and cashier of a province, but also had the important task of supervising the changes of the local vassal king on behalf of the imperial court.

Murong Xiao wanted to rebel, and recruiting troops was a big deal. In order to prevent Liu Zongqian from informing the court, he had been trying to bribe him, but the old guy was very stubborn and did not give him a chance.

Today, I suddenly heard that Liu's mother had a sudden headache and fainted. Murong Xiao immediately thought of Chu Zhao.

If Chu Zhao can cure Liu's mother's illness, why worry about Liu Zong not bowing to him for the rest of his life?

Unfortunately, although his calculation was good, Chu Zhao poured cold water on him as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I won't go." Chu Zhao said, "I am Princess Jingnan, not a country doctor. It is my filial piety to treat the old lady. There is no reason to serve those cats and dogs."

"What do you know?" Murong Xiao immediately lowered his face, "The Chief Envoy is of great use to me. As my wife, it is your duty to help me."

"Really?" Chu Zhao couldn't help but sneer, "If I remember correctly, the prince just said a few days ago that he doesn't need my help, I just need to be honest."

"..." Murong Xiao choked and gritted his teeth in anger.

This woman is really petty. I only said a few words to her that day, but she actually took up the position at this juncture.

If it were any other matter, he could have used force to force her to submit, but in this matter of treating illnesses and saving people, if he forcibly escorted the person over and the woman was unhappy and then killed the person, it would be more of a loss than the gain.

And based on this woman's recent behavior, he had no doubt that she would do this.

"Tell me, what do you need to do before you are willing to go?" Murong Xiao pinched his eyebrows and asked helplessly.

Chu Zhao laughed, with a proud look on his face as he had the upper hand: "Does the prince want me to make conditions?"

Murong Xiao was in a daze for a moment under her proud smile, and somehow he felt that her smile was a little bit pretty.

What the heck.

Murong Xiao himself was startled, and he quickly calmed himself down and said, "Speak quickly if you want anything."

Chu Zhao rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "I want the prince not to release Concubine Su within a month."

"What's the reason?" Murong Xiao asked.

"Does not wanting to see her count as a reason?" Chu Zhao asked back.

Murong Xiao snorted and automatically understood that she was jealous of Su Nuanyu.

"Okay, I'll just promise you." He nodded calmly, feeling even more certain that Chu Zhao's indifference towards him was just playing hard to get.

The two reached a consensus, and Murong Xiao immediately led Chu Zhao back to the old lady's courtyard. He asked the maids around the old lady to help her change clothes and make up. He also asked someone to prepare a carriage and personally accompanied her to the Liu Mansion.

After the carriage left the house, Chu Zhao leaned on the pillow and lazily lifted a corner of the carriage curtain to look out. As he looked, he silently wrote down the signs along the way.

She had been trapped in the palace for the past few days, knowing nothing about the outside world. She was just thinking of finding some excuse to go out and explore, but she didn't expect that the opportunity would be presented to her.

But she couldn't show it too obviously, lest Murong Xiao would notice the clues, so she deliberately acted uncooperative to evade.

Murong Xiao had no suspicion at all. Seeing that she kept looking outside, he just thought it was because she hadn't been out for a long time, so he said with a straight face: "Don't look now, I have something to tell you."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Zhao asked, putting down the car curtain.

Murong Xiao said: "When you get to the place, don't talk nonsense, and treat Mrs. Liu properly. It would be best if she can be revived. If you can't be saved, don't say anything. As long as she doesn't die, you will always guard her. You, the majestic Princess Jingnan, take care of your subordinates and their families without taking off your clothes. Liu Zongqian can’t accept this favor even if he wants to, do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand." Chu Zhao nodded, thinking that this bitch was ambitious, ruthless, and full of intrigues. He was indeed a good candidate for rebellion.

The carriage turned through two streets and arrived at the residence of the Chief Envoy.

Chu Zhao put on his curtain hat and followed Murong Xiao out of the carriage.

Liu Zongqian, who had received the news in advance and was waiting outside the door, quickly came up to greet her. He bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty and Princess have come to visit my mother in person. I am very grateful."

"Master Liu, no courtesy." Murong Xiao stretched out his hand to support him, "The situation is urgent, so don't use polite words. Let's go in quickly!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Zongqian responded repeatedly and led the two of them in.

But Chu Zhao stood still and said to Liu Zongqian: "I'm injured and can't walk. I wonder if I have someone to help me?"

Liu Zongqian was taken aback, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes. Princess, wait a moment. I'll ask someone to bring it up."

After saying that, he went to give instructions to the servants himself.

Murong Xiao felt that Chu Zhao was too troublesome, so he whispered: "After being raised for these days, it hurts so much that you can't walk. Are you afraid that others won't know that I have beaten you?"

Chu Zhao said: "Didn't the prince want Mr. Liu to accept your favor? Look at the people coming and going on the street. If we stand a little longer, we will be seen by more people. When the news spreads, everyone will Knowing that Princess Jingnan personally comes to treat Mrs. Liu, Mr. Liu will not be able to default even if he wants to."

Murong Xiao: "..."

It's a shame this woman could come up with such a tricky idea.

Why didn't I realize that she had such exquisite thoughts before?

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but take a serious look at Chu Zhao, and then he was surprised to find that if you didn't look at her face, this woman was actually quite outstanding.

Perhaps it was because he had been collecting medicinal herbs in the mountains for many years in the Taoist temple. Chu Zhao was much taller than the average girl and had a very slim figure.

In addition, the old lady knew that she was coming to the Liu Mansion, so she had people choose gorgeous clothes and jewelry for her, which made her look elegant and extraordinary, even more noble than the princesses raised in the palace.

Murong Xiao was fascinated. Compared with the Chu Zhao who was submissive in front of him and tried every means to please him, he didn't believe that this was the same person.

"Why does the prince keep staring at me?" Chu Zhao met his probing eyes and said with a half-smile, "Did the prince finally discover my hidden beauty?"

"..." Murong Xiao was speechless and looked away in disgust. The strangeness in her heart was also disturbed by her.
