Cao Dongyang felt guilty when he saw his mother and sister looking at him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, my hand slipped and I couldn't hold it firmly. You guys continue."

If he had known that they were going to discuss these things, he would not have rushed over to join in the fun.

The eldest princess glanced at him, then looked at Jiang Hao, and sighed slightly in her heart.

Yuqi didn't trust the people in the Ji Mansion, and was afraid that the rumors from that year were true - Yuzhang's affairs were most likely related to him.

It was for this reason that he felt guilty and did not dare to believe that the people in the Ji Mansion would truly treat him.

Seeing that the eldest princess was lost in thought and kept silent, Jiang Hao guessed that the eldest princess might have known something for a long time. So, since it was already known to everyone, there was no need to break the window paper.

The prince brought this upon himself, and it was justice that brought retribution upon himself. Unfortunately, he ruined the deposed prince, killed Empress Ji, the people in the deposed prince's mansion, and the officials who were loyal to the deposed prince and followed him around.

"I suddenly have a headache..."

"Mother, is your headache coming back again?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Dongyang quickly put down the clean chopsticks that the maid had just handed to him and stood up nervously.

The eldest princess was using her illness as an excuse to get away with it, but it was a pity that Cao Dongyang didn't understand.

"Sister, please show it to mother."

Cao Dongyang immediately supported the eldest princess and turned to look at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao stood up calmly and said to Madam Lu, "Please help His Highness go back to rest. His Highness has a headache and does not need acupuncture. Just lie down and take a nap and it will be fine."

Seeing how smart Jiang Hao was, Madam Lu quickly responded with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, my lady. I will help you back to your room right away."

Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't say anything, but just looked at Jiang Hao twice more.

After seeing off the eldest princess, Jiang Hao felt much more at ease. He sat down before Cao Dongyang, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat formally.

Cao Dongyang was worried about his mother's headache, so he asked carefully, "Sister, is my mother's headache really okay?"

"fine."

Jiang Hao responded without even raising his head and continued eating.

Cao Dongyang was skeptical, but since Jiang Hao said it was nothing, he didn't dare to insist that there was something wrong. He looked back in the direction his mother left and sat down hesitantly.

"My cousin, is there really no hope?"

Cao Dongyang still couldn't believe it was true, mainly because his cousin the prince was usually quite friendly to him.

"Ah."

Jiang Hao was still very frugal with words and continued to concentrate on eating.

Cao Dongyang, however, was preoccupied and could not eat.

Jiang Hao, however, had a good appetite. The chef in the Princess's Mansion was even better than the chefs in the big restaurants outside.

……

The eldest princess was just pretending to be sick. When she returned to her room, she didn't look like she had a headache again.

Madam Lu ordered the servants to bring her some water to wash up. After everything was tidied up and she and Madam Lu were the only ones left in the room, she said, "I'm afraid Yuqi is in real danger this time."

Madam Lu didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she said, "Everyone has their own destiny. Fortune and wealth are in the hands of God. Master, please don't worry about these things. Your headache has frightened the prince."

The princess thought of her son's panic when he heard that her headache had come back, and she was very relieved. She smiled and said, "You are right. I have more than just two nephews, Yu Zhang and Yu Qi. Why should I worry about my brother? My brother has many children, each one is more outstanding and capable than the other. The Dali Kingdom will surely last for thousands of years."

Seeing that she was very happy to hear the advice, Aunt Lu agreed, "That's for sure."

"Okay, I don't need you to serve me anymore. Go and see if the girl is willing to stay here for a night or wants to go back. If she wants to go back, don't miss the time..."
