The Crown Princess had her mouth covered by the Fourth Prince's hand, unable to utter a word. She leaned back in the Fourth Prince's arms and cried, looking extremely sad.

But the Fourth Prince felt annoyed. If Lu Ruoyi was making such a fuss and was discovered, they would all be finished. She was of little use to him now, so it was time to find a way to get rid of her.

An idea has been brewing in the Fourth Prince's mind for a long time, and today is a good time to bring it forward.

He said gently, "Yier, don't cry. Your crying breaks my heart."

Lu Ruoyi was comforted by these words. She turned around and threw herself into the Fourth Prince's arms, punching his chest with her fist. "You make me so sad, so sad!"

The Fourth Prince looked up at the sky, feeling extremely irritated, but he said, "I'm sad too. I want to be with you, but as long as the Crown Prince is around, it's impossible for us to be together in this life."

Lu Ruoyi paused for a moment and continued crying.

"Yier, I have a way to bring us together, but I need your cooperation."

"any solution?"

The Fourth Prince lowered his voice and said, "As long as the Crown Prince is no longer the Crown Prince, he can no longer occupy you, and I can be with you."

Lu Ruoyi's heart skipped a beat. Since he was no longer the crown prince, she would no longer be the crown princess. She found it a little hard to accept.

Seeing that Lu Ruoyi didn't say anything, the Fourth Prince hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Don't you want to be with me anymore?"

"Of course I did..."

"This is the only way to be with me. If you do it, we will be together forever. If you don't, from today on, we will be completely separated. You can live a good life with the prince!"

"no I do not!"

Lu Ruoyi hugged the Fourth Prince tightly. The Fourth Prince smiled triumphantly, held Lu Ruoyi's shoulders, looked directly into her eyes and said, "Then do as I say. From now on, we'll be together forever, okay?"

His dark eyes locked tightly on Lu Ruoyi, engrossed her in them.

Lu Ruoyi nodded slightly, "Okay."

"I'll give you a bundle. Find a way to put it in the prince's study. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

Lu Ruoyi felt something was wrong, "What's in the bundle?"

"It's some evidence that the Crown Prince has made a mistake. At most, it will make Father think that he has made a mistake and remove him from his position as Crown Prince."

The Fourth Prince spoke calmly, but Lu Ruoyi was terrified. "Will someone die?"

"Absolutely not. The Crown Prince is my father's biological son. My father will never touch him."

"What about me? Will I be okay?"

The Fourth Prince said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. I'll arrange for you to go to a Taoist temple for retreat. Once the storm has passed, I'll bring you to my house. If you don't want to, I'll place you outside and we'll live as a married couple."

Lu Ruoyi was somewhat tempted, but still felt uneasy. When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. Even the prince is in trouble, so how can she, the crown princess, be safe?

She hesitated to speak, and the Fourth Prince became anxious and pretended to be sad. "Since you don't want to, let's just say we are not destined to be together in this life. Yi'er, let's never meet in private again."

"No, no, let me think about it again!"

Lu Ruoyi pondered for a long time, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Really? Yi'er, you're so kind. We'll be together soon!"

The Fourth Prince hugged Lu Ruyi and kissed her twice. Lu Ruyi said worriedly, "You must keep your word!"

"of course."

While the two were plotting among the flowers, Qingyin was quietly listening outside. The more she listened, the more desperate she felt. If something happened to the Crown Prince, how could the Crown Princess be safe? These servants would also be beheaded along with them. Your Majesty, you are really confused!

Qingyin thought of her brother and said to herself, "My queen, I won't listen to you this time. You'd better take care of yourself."

After a while, the Crown Princess came out first and left with Qingyin. After a while, the Fourth Prince also left.

Although the flower fight was over, the banquet had just begun. The girls were taken to the South Pond to eat, drink and have fun.

The banquet was designed very thoughtfully. Some water was diverted from the South Pond to form a circle. Wine, food and snacks were placed on the water on plates, and moved with the flow of the water. The girls sat around and ate whatever food flowed to them. It was very interesting.

Zhao Yuanqing sat there lazily and didn't see the Crown Princess for a long time. Where did she go?

After a while, the Crown Princess appeared, followed by Qingyin. Qingyin saw Zhao Yuanqing from afar and nodded at her, as if she had seen her savior.

Zhao Yuanqing said to Meng Jiu, "Qingyin seems to have something to say. Find a way to meet her."

"Yes."

Qingyin said to the Crown Princess, "Your Majesty, I have a stomachache and want to go to the toilet."

"Go."

Qingyin went to the toilet, and Meng Jiu followed her. When they were alone, Qingyin quickly told Meng Jiu the news she had just heard, "The Crown Princess is confused. You must stop her!"

Putting something in the prince's study? Meng Jiu's expression also became serious, "I understand. Keep an eye on the Crown Princess and report to us at any time."

After the two men dispersed, the banquet continued for more than an hour. The Princess, who was preoccupied with many things, quickly dismissed the party, and the ladies began to leave.

Zhao Yuanqing also boarded the carriage. Meng Jiu told her what Qingyin had said, "Princess, it looks like the Fourth Prince wants to frame the Crown Prince."

Zhao Yuanqing cursed, "Lu Ruoyi, what a fool! If the crown prince is crippled, she won't be any better off. Is she stupid?"

Such a serious matter must be told to the prince.

As they walked, Meng Jiu opened the curtain and looked back, "Princess, someone is following us."

"Who?"

"Looks like a young fellow."

Zhao Yuanqing looked back and saw a young man of about sixteen or seventeen dressed in shorts following their car, running breathlessly.

"Stop the car and see what he wants to do."

"Yes."

The carriage stopped, Meng Jiu jumped down, and grabbed the man by the collar. "Why are you following Princess Shanzhen? Who sent you? Tell me!"

The person who came was Cangli, a waiter from Heniantang. Meng Jiu threatened him a few times and he immediately confessed.

He was ordered by his boss Chai Dong to wait in Furong Garden to pick up Princess Shanzhen's Tianshan Snow Lotus. However, after Princess Shanzhen came out, she got into the car and left. Cangli had no choice but to run after her, hoping that Princess Shanzhen would drop the snow lotus on the way.

Zhao Yuanqing asked in confusion, "How did your boss know that the flower I wore in my hairpin today was the Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

Xanthium shook his head. "I don't know what to do with that. Princess, please be magnanimous and forgive me. I haven't done anything wrong. I won't pick your flowers anymore, okay?"
