Chapter 766  : Testing the Crown Prince with Killing

Shang Lin understood that if the Crown Prince had a massive amount of power in his hands, the princes would not be able to eat well or sleep well. Even the Xia Emperor would be wary.

Vermilion Bird Lane, Zheng Manor.

When Zhang Ronghua returned, the guests had already left. Only the two families and Yang Hongling were left.

In the backyard.

Zheng Rou was reluctant to part with her. She held Yang Hongling’s hand and clapped her hands.” Come and visit us often when you have time.”

“Yes.” Yang Hongling agreed.

“You must send him to the gate of the School of Fate,” Zheng Rou instructed as she looked at Zhang Ronghua.

Zhang Ronghua knew what his mother meant. She wanted them to spend more time together. He bade farewell and left.

They left the mansion.

Zhang Ronghua was driving the ancient carriage, and Yang Hongling was sitting on the side. They were less than a fist away from each other, and they could clearly smell the fragrance of Hundred Spirits coming from her body.

“Slow down.”

“What’s wrong?

“The surrounding scenery is not bad,” said Yang Hongling naturally.

Slow down.

“Will Chang ‘an bring Xiao Mi back tomorrow?” Yang Hongling asked again.

“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.

” There’s still one more day off. I have to go early in the morning.”

He was referring to his home in Riches Lane.

“Lovers finally get together. They can be considered to have made it through.” Suddenly.

” Oh?” Yang Hongling’s beautiful eyes lit up. She pointed to the side.” Candied haws!”

He saw an acquaintance, Old Nine.

The carriage stopped.

Old Jiu was shocked. He was about to retreat to the side, not daring to disturb the people on the carriage. He raised his head and saw a pair of familiar faces. He stopped and bowed respectfully.” Greetings, Young Master and Young Miss!”

“I’ll take it,” Zhang Ronghua said.

He took out two taels of silver and threw them over.

” Thank you, Young Master!” Old Nine was excited. He hurriedly handed the candied haws over.

“Prepare two sweet ones next time,” said Zhang Ronghua.

“This old man will definitely do as you say.”

He handed the shelf over. Yang Hongling caught it and took one out. She handed it over.” Here!”

Zhang Ronghua smiled bitterly. He didn’t want to take it, but it was too sour. He still took it and took a bite. Two words -really sour! Other than them, whoever bought it would be a fool.

He drove the carriage forward and rushed towards the Fate Academy.

Zheng Manor.

As time passed, a person who was both expected and unexpected appeared. Eight Divine Heavenly Dragons pulled the carriage, and the word ” Emperor ‘ was carved on each side of the carriage, representing the identity of the owner. It was the carriage of the Crown Prince. A Flood Dragon Guard was guarding the carriage, and the person in the lead was the new Eastern Palace garrison Lieutenant General, Feng Jianxiu. He stopped at the door.

The Flood Dragon Guards set up defenses and sealed off the surroundings, forbidding any outsiders from approaching.

Seeing this scene.

A guard hurriedly ran into the manor to inform Zheng Shan and the others.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Qing ‘er and Shuang’ er came out. Qing ‘er got down from the carriage and put down the small stool. She waited respectfully at the side. The latter stretched out her left hand, which was at the same height as the door of the carriage, to prevent him from accidentally touching it when he came out. Her right hand held the curtain.

The Crown Prince came out from inside. With the support of Qing er, he stepped onto a small stool and got down. He gazed at the manor before him with a gentle expression and a smile on his face.

At noon today, he recovered and went into the palace to visit his father and mother. He had dragged it out until now. After coming out of the palace, he brought people over.

As their status increased, they wanted to buy people’s hearts and tie themselves to their big ship. No matter how busy they were, they had to come over for a big event like marriage. Otherwise, there would be a gap and Zheng Fugui would think too much. However, he did not mind, but Zhang Ronghua was very important. Times were different now, and the promotion was set in stone. It depended on whether he was transferred outside or continued to stay. He had already ordered that when the holiday ended, the officials would make trouble in the court. No matter what, he had to stay in the capital. He would be transferred to a more important department to strengthen his power and nurture his confidants.

This matter seemed to have ended, but in fact, it had just begun.

Unless he was willing to become a puppet and hand over the power, he would have to fight for it! After suffering such a huge loss, he had to take this as a warning. Either he didn’t make a move, or once he made a move, he had to be 100% sure, not even 90%. He couldn’t afford to lose!

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out. Zhang Qin, Zheng Shan, Zheng Fugui, and the others hurried over from the manor. They cupped their fists and bowed.” Greetings, Your Highness!”

The crown prince glanced around and didn’t see Zhang Ronghua. He didn’t ask immediately. He smiled and nodded.” Let’s talk inside.” He strode into the courtyard, and everyone followed him.

In the lobby.

The Crown Prince sat at the head of the table. Zheng Fugui served him tea and waited by the side. He took a sip of the tea and placed it down.” Bring the gift over.”

Qing er stepped forward and stretched out her jade-like hand, taking out eight purplish-red jade boxes. They were all luxurious and extraordinary. She opened them one by one, revealing the items inside.

Top-grade agate, jade heart necklace, jade ruyi…

Every single one of them was a priceless treasure.

“This is my intention.”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Zheng Fugui hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The Crown Prince said,” After you get married, you have to be more steady when you do things. Think more when you encounter things and make plans before you act. Don’t fall behind in your studies. Read more military books. Ask if you don’t understand anything and work hard to enrich yourself.”

“I understand!”

“Yes.” The Crown Prince nodded.

“Where’s Qinghn?” he asked.

Looking at the sky, there was still some time before it turned dark. The Crown Prince decided to wait.

This wait lasted for more than an hour.

As the sun set, darkness and day alternated. Just as they were about to replace each other, the sky darkened.

I’ll go to the Eastern Palace tomorrow after Qing Lin returns,” the Crown Prince said, standing up from his chair..
