Xiao Cui scratched her head and continued, "Princess, the palace is in chaos right now. I heard that His Majesty's condition is very serious, and the doctors in the palace are all very nervous. It seems that they have prepared everything, just waiting for the emperor to die when he can't breathe.

The prince originally didn't want to go to the palace to serve the sick, but the empress dowager had sent people to invite him many times. If he didn't go, people would definitely gossip about him behind his back, causing a lot of criticism. So, the prince had no choice but to hurry to the palace. "

After saying this, Xiao Cui seemed to suddenly remember something important, and quickly turned around and ran to the small kitchen.

After a while, she came back hurriedly with a bowl of warm lean meat porridge.

As she handed the porridge to Jiang Tangxi, she said, "Princess, this is the lean meat porridge that the prince personally cooked for you before he left. The prince repeatedly told me to watch you finish eating."

Xiao Cui looked at Jiang Tangxi with a gleam in her eyes, and kept saying in Jiang Tangxi's ear: "Princess, the prince is so good to you. Look, it's already this late, and he's still thinking about making porridge for you. You must cherish the prince, and don't let him be snatched away by those women with bad intentions. You don't know, those women outside are staring at the prince, we must keep a close eye on him."

As Xiao Cui spoke, she kept gesturing, looking like an anxious old woman imparting some important experience to her daughter.

Jiang Tangxi drank his porridge in silence and shook his head! !

After Jiang Tangxi finished drinking the porridge, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, then looked at Xiao Cui and asked, "Xiao Cui, what happened to the restaurant we were in that night? How did you deal with those troublemakers in the end?"

When this matter was mentioned, Xiao Cui's face suddenly became a little ugly.

She stammered, "Princess, the prince did not let those three men off easily during the two days you were unconscious. The prince arrested them and tortured them severely. At first, those men were very stubborn and refused to say anything. Later, the prince got anxious and did it himself. You didn't see it, but the prince cut them with a knife, and each cut was very deep, but he would not let them die. Every day after those men fell asleep, the prince would have someone feed them tonic medicine, so that they could not die even if they wanted to."

"Finally, I heard from Yin Zhou that those big men couldn't stand it anymore and told him everything. They said that the people in the palace spent a lot of money to find them from outside the domain, and they knew in advance that the prince would definitely go to that restaurant, so they deliberately took the opportunity to cause trouble. The prince said that the princess should not go out during this period of time, because it is not peaceful outside!"

Jiang Tangxi frowned and then asked, "Are those black-clothed puppets related to those big men?"

When Xiao Cui heard the words "black-clad puppet", she said in bewilderment: "Princess, what black-clad puppet? I have never heard of it. I just know that it snowed heavily that night, and then there were lightning and thunder, and a strong wind. Then the news of our assassination came, but this black-clad puppet, I really don't know anything about it. What is a black-clad puppet?"

Jiang Tangxi understood now that Xiao Yuchen wanted to keep the secret as long as possible. She also instantly understood why Xiao Yuchen locked up Tuoba Yanxi.

"Oh, those assassins, dressed in black. I call them black puppets!"

"Oh, then they were basically all dealt with by the prince. I heard that not a single one was left alive!"

Jiang Tangxi was silent for a while, then said, "Xiao Cui, your prince hasn't come back yet, right?"

Xiao Cui quickly replied: "The prince said that he might be back very late, but he will definitely come back."

Jiang Tangxi nodded and continued, "Then go and bring Tuoba Yanxi to me. I have something to ask her."

When Xiao Cui heard this, she turned pale with fear and waved her hands quickly, saying, "Princess, this won't do. The prince has locked Tuoba Yanxi in the side yard next to you, and the prince has specifically instructed that Tuoba Yanxi must not be allowed to get close to you. If the prince knew that you secretly met Tuoba Yanxi, Xiao Cui's head would be in danger."

Jiang Tangxi looked at Xiao Cui, who was so frightened when she heard Xiao Yuchen's name, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She smiled and said, "Xiao Cui, look at you. How can Xiao Xiaoyu be so scary? Why are people in the palace so afraid of him?"

Xiao Cui's eyes widened, and she said to Jiang Tangxi seriously, "Princess, you are the only one in the whole palace who is not afraid of the prince and dares to go against him. That's because the prince has you in his heart and he is happy to pamper you. But it's different for others. The prince's reputation as a living devil is not for nothing. He is scary when he gets angry."

Seeing that Xiao Cui refused to change her mind, Jiang Tangxi had no choice but to use his trump card.

She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Xiao Cui, then tell me who is the most powerful person in this palace now?"

Xiao Cui answered without hesitation: "Of course it's you, Princess. This is what the prince said himself, and he also said that your orders are above his."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Cui realized what Jiang Tangxi wanted to say. She asked Jiang Tangxi in embarrassment: "Princess, do you really want to see that princess?"

Jiang Tangxi nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I must see her."

Xiao Cui said helplessly: "Well, you can meet him, but he must meet under my and Yuzhu's noses, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the prince."

Jiang Tangxi didn't want to make things difficult for them, so he agreed.

After a while, Tuoba Yanxi was brought to Jiang Tangxi's yard.

As soon as Tuoba Yanxi entered the room and saw Jiang Tangxi sitting on the bed, she burst into tears instantly.

She ran towards Jiang Tangxi crying and hugged Jiang Tangxi's thighs, saying non-stop: "Sister, please punish me, it's my fault that I didn't protect you well, I deserve to die!"

This left Yuzhu and Xiaocui who were standing beside them completely confused.

What's going on?

No one expected what happened that night!

Besides, she is a princess, why should she treat the princess like this?

No matter how favored the princess is, she is just a princess. How can she make a princess apologize like this?

The more Yuzhu watched, the more strange it seemed to him. He looked at Tuoba Yanxi crying and shedding tears and snot, and suddenly he felt that this scene was very familiar, just like when he failed to protect Xiao Yuchen.

The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed, and he muttered to himself: Could it be that this is really because these two have a good relationship?
