Chapter 422 Unbelievable
Li Chu walked out of Wangyuexuan with a gloomy face and went straight back to his study. His cold face seemed to be covered by a layer of frost, which made people feel intimidated.
At the same time, the news of Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao's heated argument spread like wildfire throughout the palace. People were talking among themselves, all of them surprised by this sudden incident.
What was even more unexpected was that shortly after Li Chu left Wangyuexuan, Dugu Jingyao immediately sent his personal swordsman to invite Murong Linzhi to come.
When Li Wanqing heard the news, she was genuinely shocked. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of disbelief as she murmured softly, "Oh? His Highness actually had a fight with the Princess? This is truly a rare occurrence!"
Cuizhu, standing nearby, was equally moved, yet secretly relieved. She quickly said, "That's right, Madam. This situation is truly rare. But then again, this isn't a bad opportunity for you, Madam. His Highness and the Princess are currently at odds, so you could take this opportunity to get closer to His Highness. This way, you'd have more opportunities to appear before His Highness."
Wutong listened to Cuizhu's words and nodded in agreement, echoing, "That's right, madam. In my humble opinion, it's unlikely that His Highness and the Princess will be able to reconcile anytime soon. Therefore, madam, you should seize this opportunity to interact more with His Highness and leave a deeper impression on him."
Li Wanqing felt something was amiss, so she said, "Don't worry, let's wait and see. Isn't there Zheng Wan? I'd like to see what she does. Wutong, go see what's going on at Luting Pavilion and report back."
Wutong responded and went out to inquire around Luting Pavilion.
At Luting Pavilion, Zheng Wan, upon hearing this, stood up in shock and said, "How could this be? Your Highness has always valued the Princess, and the Princess has always been sensible."
Bai Lu said, "My lady, I have heard that the princess and His Highness had a quarrel because His Highness had promised her that he would take good care of the King of Yunnan before he left for the battle. However, the King of Yunnan was seriously injured and unconscious, while His Highness was fine."
Zheng Wan finally understood what was going on. "It's not the princess' fault. After all, her mother died young. If her father had passed away as well, she would have been devastated. But the King of Yunnan is fine, so I guess they'll be able to reconcile soon."
Bai Lu and Mang Zhong nodded, and Zheng Wan then said, "I'll go see the princess. If I can help His Highness and the princess reconcile, I'm sure both the princess and His Highness will remember my achievement, and it will also make a better impression on His Highness."
Upon hearing this, Bailu and Mangzhong felt that their lady had finally come to her senses. They were very pleased and followed Zheng Wan to Wangyuexuan.
Wutong, who was watching outside, saw Zheng Wan and others coming out of Luting Pavilion, and observed them heading towards Wangyuexuan, taking a shortcut back to Biluoyuan.
Li Wanqing saw that she was out of breath, but she was not anxious. She just asked calmly, "But is there any movement from Zheng Wan?"
Wutong took a deep breath and said, "Madam, you're as good as a god. Madam Zheng and the others are heading towards Wangyue Pavilion."
Li Wanqing snorted coldly, "Huh, this Zheng Wan, everyone says she's simple and straightforward, but I don't think so. She wants to take this opportunity to reconcile His Highness and the Princess, so that she can leave a good impression on His Highness."
Cuizhu said indignantly, "Since she can do it, Madam, with your intelligence and talent, how can you be any worse than her? Why don't you go and see the princess too?"
Li Wanqing waved her hand and said, "She has a good idea, but it's not certain whether it will come true. I won't join in the fun."
Sure enough, as Li Wanqing expected, although Zheng Wan went to see the doctor and tried to persuade him, it had no effect.
Although Feng Shengyi found the two maids who delivered the message to Linglong Pavilion, they were already dead when he found them.
Li Chu frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Have you found out the cause of death?"
Feng Shengyi replied, "Your Highness, we have already sent people to investigate, and they all died by hanging."
Li Chu snorted coldly, "You're such a good fellow! You dare to reach into my palace! If I catch you, I'll chop your claws off!"
Feng Shengyi felt very guilty and said, "It's all because of my incompetence..."
Li Chu said, "I can't blame you. It seems that this person had a backup plan when he released the news. Well, you should keep a low profile and investigate. Now that the prince and the princess are not on good terms, if that person is patient, he won't be exposed so easily. If he is impatient, he will be exposed soon."
Feng Shengyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise."
Li Chu did not mention the matter again, but said: "I think it is getting late. Mrs. Zheng went to the princess to persuade her today, so let's go to Luting Pavilion for dinner!"
Feng Shengyi wanted to dissuade him, but Li Chu said, "Hurry up and inform Mrs. Zheng."
Since the master doesn't allow him to persuade him, then forget it. Feng Shengyi had no choice but to agree and went to Luting Pavilion.
