I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

Hai Yanqing took two steps back when he saw her ferocious look as if she was about to eat someone, coupled with her extremely ugly face that was both funny and weird.

He reached into his sleeve and found a translucent black bracelet on his hand, emitting a crystal clear light.

"If you don't want this bracelet anymore, I can destroy it or give it to a beautiful woman." He held up the bracelet, which felt cold to the touch. He gently turned it towards the sunlight that came in through the skylight, and the room was immediately filled with colorful lights.

"It's really... top-notch." Hai Yanqing exclaimed in admiration.

Jiang Xingkuo closed his eyes, his thoughts swirling.

What did he want? He refused to marry the princess because he wanted to make a difference in the court.

So……

"The prince invited a miracle doctor to treat the princess." Jiang Xingkuo opened his eyes.

"Oh?" Hai Yanqing smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Dr. Ji is very skilled. Just by taking the pulse, he was able to diagnose a disease that even the palace doctors have never been able to diagnose." Jiang Xingkuo stared at him.

"And then?" Hai Yanqing took back the bracelet and played with it carefully in his hand.

Jiang Xingkuo suddenly grinned, which startled him. "Although Huanyan can't be cured, if she keeps on breathing, she won't die for at least ten or eight years."

"...What do you want to say?" Hai Yanqing's right eyelid twitched, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"When the time comes, it would not be a bad idea to find the princess a marriage that she likes the most, just to cheer her up. Who knows, once she's happy, her face might get better! And she can live another ten or eight years." Jiang Xingkuo smiled, his eyes curved into a bright moon.

This is going to kill me.

Hai Yanqing remained silent for a long time before he said, "Who are you?"

How long had this ugly girl known An Huanyan, and she was so calculating and planning everything for her? Even though he often went to the palace, he had never seen her or heard of her.

Jiang Xingkuo's eyes lit up, she knew that she won!

She pretended to be confident and straightened her back: "Let's put it this way. All you want is for the princess to stop having feelings for you, so you don't have to marry her."

"Can you do it?" Hai Yanqing's expression relaxed a little.

"I know that Huanyan has been weak and sickly since she was a child. As the only princess in the royal family, she is the apple of everyone's eye. Your Majesty and the Queen depend on her in every way. You are worried about this."

Hai Yanqing glanced at An Huanyan lying on the bed without saying anything.

"But I have my own way to make Huanyan no longer fall in love with you."

"any solution?"

Jiang Xingkuo was secretly delighted, but replied calmly, "This is not something the Second Young Master should worry about. I can only say that if Huanyan wants to marry someone who has hurt him before, I will also interfere. Don't worry, give me the recipe, and you can achieve great things in the court."

Hai Yanqing's eyes flickered slightly.

There were voices and footsteps outside the house.

Jiang Xingkuo also became irritable: "Hurry up, Second Young Master. The Crown Prince is back. I'm keeping my word, you can take the bracelet first. Otherwise, if the palace maids and the Imperial Hospital are tortured, even if you can protect yourself, you will get into trouble."

"Miss Jiang, Second Young Master, the Crown Prince is already waiting outside."

Yutai's voice came from outside the house.

Jiang Xingkuo looked at him, anxious.

Fortunately, Hai Yanqing hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and held it between his fingers.

Jiang Xingkuo was overjoyed. He quickly took the paper and put it back in his arms.

The door opened and Jiang Xingkuo couldn't help laughing.

The prince and Hai Yanqing looked at her in surprise.

Jiang Xingkuo's expression changed instantly, and he said seriously: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I accidentally hit my own funny bone just now."

"Oh? Miss Jiang is also a martial artist?" The prince was very surprised.

"Haha... I'm just talking nonsense..." Jiang Xingkuo spoke up awkwardly.

Haven’t you ever eaten pork but seen a pig run?...Martial arts novels were her favorite back then.

"Wu Ye, what was the name of that palace maid just now?" The prince turned slightly and asked Wu Ye, the guard beside him.

"Your Highness, my name is Zihao, and I have been serving the princess for ten years." Wu Ye held the knife with an expressionless face.

"Well. That Zihao, she... committed suicide. She died a tragic death." The prince's eyes lingered around Hai Yanqing.

Jiang Xingkuo clasped his hands.

"Don't you want to know how she died?" The prince drank his tea leisurely.

"How did he die?" Jiang Xingkuo asked suddenly.

This caused Hai Yanqing to give him a warning look.

Jiang Xingkuo quickly lowered his head and pretended that he didn't exist.

"She confessed before she died." The prince paused for a moment and pointed at a eunuch at random, "You go ahead and tell me."

Jiang Xingkuo's heart felt itchy as if it was being scratched by a claw.

"Yes. Zihao admitted that she was the one who drugged her because the princess had beaten and scolded her before, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she poisoned her."

The prince put down his teacup and raised an eyebrow.

"Uh huh... it's totally fabricated! Made up out of nothing! Her Royal Highness the Princess is tolerant and generous..." The eunuch was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Get to the point." The prince pinched his temple.

"Yes, yes, yes. We interrogated her again to see if there was anyone behind this. She didn't say anything. We wanted to continue interrogating her, so she hit her head against the wall and committed suicide. There was blood all over the floor..."

Jiang Xingkuo raised his head, feeling mixed emotions.

Hai Yanqing exchanged a few polite words with the prince as usual and then left.

The prince looked at his departing back, thinking hard.

"Your Highness, I have the prescription. Can you send it to Doctor Ji as soon as possible?" Jiang Xingkuo handed him the prescription with an anxious look on his face.

The prince took the prescription hesitantly, and seeing her urgency, he handed it to Wu Ye beside him and said, "Send it to Doctor Ji immediately."

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Jiang Xingkuo waved secretly to drive him away.

Wu Ye took the prescription and trotted out, while Jiang Xingkuo stared at him intently.

"Where did you find it?"

The prince's question made her stiffen.

"In...in...that...I stole it." Jiang Xingkuo made up an excuse.

"Oh? Where did you steal it?" The prince looked at her with interest.

"In... in Zihao's room! I took the opportunity when you guys kidnapped her to steal from her room!" Jiang Xingkuo forced a smile.

The prince's eyes skipped over her and lingered around her.

"The people in the palace will go to search it themselves." There was a hint of inquiry in the prince's eyes.

Jiang Xingkuo swallowed nervously, but still pretended to be calm and said, "I can't wait any longer. Your Highness, human life is at stake! Don't you want Huanyan to wake up sooner?"

The prince retracted his gaze and nodded slightly, but then raised his eyelids to look at her: "You and Huanyan have only known each other for a short time."

"Yes, although the princess and I have known each other for a short time, we feel that we met too late and we hit it off right away. Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty had heard of Fang Xuanling a long time ago, and the two hit it off right away. Later, Fang Xuanling followed Li Shimin to travel all over the country, survived many dangers, and became the Minister of the Chancellery, helping him to establish great achievements. Your Majesty, although the princess and I don't have that kind of thought, this kind of friendship is the same."

Jiang Xingkuo gritted his teeth and brought up an anecdote.
