Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

They were supposed to go eat, but the two of them were handing out sachets to everyone along the way, and they walked a long way. Before they reached the dining hall, they met two guards guarding the gate who came to report that someone from the Shi Mansion was here to see them.

"It seems to be the wife of General Zhenbei Hou..." The guard who reported the incident had a hesitant look on his face, unsure. "I've never seen her before, so I don't dare let her in easily. She claims to be General Shi's wife. I observed carefully, and she did come here in the Shi Mansion's carriage or sedan chair, so it should be correct..."

Chu Huanjun frowned after hearing this, feeling that something was amiss. He said, "The wife that Lao Shi married later never went out to see anyone. How come she came to my door today out of the blue? Something's wrong..."

Tao Yao's heart sank - Zhu Fengsheng never liked to meddle in other people's business. If he wanted to come to Prince Yi's Mansion to pick her up, Shi Yiqian would definitely go in person and would never let Zhu Fengsheng go alone.

This time she came, perhaps because something big happened in the Shi Mansion.

Tao Yao was about to speak when she saw Chu Huanjun waving his hand nonchalantly and said calmly, "No."

"Why not?" Tao Yao asked hurriedly.

"Are you stupid?" Chu Huanjun slapped Tao Yao on the forehead. "Isn't it obvious that you have trouble and want my help? This prince is not a leisurely person. I don't have time to wade into these muddy waters."

So, Tao Yao turned around and tried to pry Chu Huanjun's hand away from the wheelchair push bar, saying urgently, "Let go!"

Chu Huanjun refused to listen to her and grabbed her hand, saying, "Why? You little lamb, why are you so anxious to throw yourself into the tiger's mouth? Don't worry, since you are now in my Prince Yi's Mansion, I will protect you. Even the king of heaven can't do anything to you."

Tao Yao finally realized that people like Chu Huanjun would not respond to hard tactics and had to be dealt with softly.

So she instantly put on a gentle smile, squeezed her still-unrecovered raspy voice into a shrill one, and pleaded, "Please, Xiao Chu, for my sake, please let me go see her. Of course, if Xiao Chu could be so kind as to accompany me, I would be so lucky and proud..."

As expected, Chu Huanjun revealed a relieved smile, holding his forehead and said, "There's nothing I can do about you. Forget it! I'm in a good mood today, so let's meet. But you just said you would make an extra sachet for me, but you have to keep it..."

Tao Yao stretched out two fingers and swore, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will keep my word."

Zhu Fengsheng had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and finally when the gate of the palace opened, he was expecting to see Chu Huanjun, but he saw Tao Yao first.

Tao Yao pushed the wheelchair with both hands, and with some difficulty, drove it to Zhu Fengsheng's front. She said calmly, "Madam, you are fine. I'm sorry that my legs are not convenient and I can't bow to you. But what happened at home that bothered you to come all the way to Prince Yi's Mansion?"

I haven't seen Tao Yao for a few days, but she seems like a different person. Although she is in a wheelchair and looks half-disabled, and her figure has become much thinner, her face is radiant, and her black hair is shiny and smooth like a piece of fine silk. Everything she wears is much more exquisite. It seems that she is living a good life in Prince Yi's Mansion.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You look quite thinner... I heard that Minister Zuo hit you hard, and I thought it was an exaggeration. But today, I see you're so badly injured."

Zhu Fengsheng still had that arrogant attitude. He was clearly here to ask for help, but he didn't look like he was asking for help at all.

Tao Yao now has his back against Prince Yi's Mansion, feeling confident. Although he is sitting in a wheelchair, his back is straight, and his aura is no less than Zhu Fengsheng's.

Tao Yao looked at Zhu Fengsheng and the carriage behind her, noting that she had come here in the largest carriage in the palace today. She smiled and said, "Although her injuries were serious, she is fortunately under the careful care of Prince Yi and has the invaluable medicine in the palace. She is almost fully recovered now, Madam, don't worry."

She brought up Chu Huanjun to show that she now has a backer and to curb Zhu Fengsheng's arrogance.

Zhu Fengsheng, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and poked his head in to look inside the palace gate. "Hey, this is strange. I clearly asked the two gatekeepers to invite His Highness Prince Yi, so why are you the only one here?"

Facing Zhu Fengsheng's deliberate neglect, Tao Yao was neither anxious nor annoyed, but replied politely, "I've already asked Madam just now, but what happened at home? His Royal Highness Prince Yi is out today for something, so Madam, you can tell me. I'll pass on the message when the prince returns."

Zhu Fengsheng tutted impatiently, finally unable to pretend to be polite any longer, and returned to his usual sarcastic expression, pointing at Tao Yao's nose and cursing, "Shi Tao Yao, who the hell do you think you are?!

"I'm just staying at Prince Yi's mansion for a few days, but you really think you can rise from a sparrow to a phoenix? How dare you speak to me in front of me! I'm here to discuss something important with the prince, and it's not your turn to interrupt."

Tao Yao sighed, leaned back in a comfortable position, and gave Zhu Fengsheng a lazy smile: "Well, if Madam wants to spend some time, I happen to be bored in the palace and can accompany Madam to spend some time together."

After saying that, she took out the soft pillow from behind her, placed it under her neck, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

During the time she spent with Chu Huanjun, Tao Yao didn't learn anything else, but she did learn about 30% to 40% of Chu Huanjun's shameless and naughty skills. Although she still couldn't compare to Chu Huanjun's spicy and old-fashioned nature, she was more than enough to deal with Zhu Fengsheng, the arrogant wife who had lived in the house for a long time.

Zhu Fengsheng really lost his patience, lifted up his sleeves and lifted up his skirt, and rushed forward as if to force his way in.

Tao Yao was quick-witted and was about to reach out to stop him, but Zhu Fengsheng forcefully opened his arms, nearly causing him and his wheelchair to roll to the ground.

Little did they know that Chu Huanjun had been hiding in a dark corner behind the gate and observing secretly. When he saw Zhu Fengsheng attacking Tao Yao, he immediately flew forward and blocked Zhu Fengsheng with his folding fan.

"Madam, are you not very good at seeing? If you want to break into someone's house, you should first check where the house is and whose house it is."

Chu Huanjun's sudden appearance almost scared Zhu Fengsheng out of his body. He stood there like a wooden statue, and his arrogance and domineering attitude disappeared instantly. He even stuttered when he spoke.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I... pay my respects to Your Majesty..."

Zhu Fengsheng immediately stepped back three feet, prostrated himself on the ground, and paid his respects.

Chu Huanjun stood behind Tao Yao and put his hands on her shoulders. In this situation, Zhu Fengsheng seemed to be bowing down to Tao Yao.

Tao Yao smiled knowingly, knowing that Chu Huanjun wanted to vent her anger, so she gently patted his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "Okay, that's enough. Let her get down to business."

Tao Yao rarely took the initiative. Chu Huanjun was overjoyed. He held her hand without even looking at Zhu Fengsheng: "Get up."

Zhu Fengsheng didn't stand up immediately, but only raised half of his face. Unlike his usual arrogance and arrogance, his face was full of humility and fear. He said softly and humbly, "Your Highness, I have come to ask you to go to Qinglongwu. The general went there early this morning and has not returned yet. I am worried that something unexpected has happened..."
