The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 784: Chapter 740: Then Let Her Disappear_2

She was initially puzzled. Since Huangfu Yuxuan wanted to do this, he certainly couldn’t lure someone into this room himself. So, whom did he ask to do it?

It turned out he sought He Ye.

And it seemed his beloved was not Miss Zhao, and He Ye had messed things up. So he was angry, wanting to vent his spleen on the Prince Ning Mansion?

She felt somewhat displeased in her heart.

If this task had been given to her, she would have completed it flawlessly. But Huangfu Yuxuan entrusted it to He Ye.

Of course, He Ye could have done the job flawlessly as well, had it not been for an unexpected incident.

Why did Huangfu Yuxuan entrust it to He Ye? She only needed a moment to understand. It was to have something on He Ye, so that even if the Prince Ning Mansion stood by He Ye, they would have no choice but to side with him in the future.

In fact, they were already standing on Huangfu Yuxuan’s side. Huangfu Yuxuan’s actions seemed a bit underhanded!

Princess Ning suppressed her displeasure. She understood these were just the means for those seeking power; being part of the Imperial Family, how could she be unaware?

Now, clearly, Huangfu Yuxuan didn’t want to take responsibility. He said he would investigate thoroughly, evidently looking for a scapegoat to take the fall for this matter.

Princess Ning said, ”Rest assured, I, the Princess, will thoroughly investigate this matter. I absolutely will not allow Xiao Xiao to use my Prince Ning Mansion for nefarious deeds! Second Young Master, Miss Zhao, I will handle it right away!”

As she spoke, she walked towards the door, but the servants of Zhao Mansion and Wei Mansion did not let her pass.

Princess Ning turned her head back.

Zhao Hua, with a cold and murderous expression, cupped his hands toward everyone in the room, his voice filled with threat, ”Everyone, what happened today, I hope once you leave this door, you forget everything. If any rumors circulate later, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Someone quick-thinking immediately said, ”Rest assured, Mr. Zhao, we know the importance, we haven’t seen anything today!”

”We absolutely will not say a word. If I do, may I be struck by lightning!”

”Yes, yes, I swear too. Once I leave this door, I will keep it to myself. If I leak even half a word, may I die a miserable death!”

”Today, nothing happened! We’ve been enjoying discussing poetry and admiring flowers at Prince Ning Mansion, totally content!”

”Exactly, exactly, Prince Ning Mansion treated us with great hospitality. We had a wonderful time here, with delicious wine and food, nothing else happened!”

...

Hearing these people one by one make their declarations, each more earnest than the last, Zhao Hua felt slightly reassured.

He glanced at Huangfu Yuxuan again. Although the people here could be made to swear not to spread this matter, there were so many people, and loose lips could be a problem. Furthermore, those intimidated by the Zhao and Wei Family’s power would keep silent, but what about those who didn’t care about their family backgrounds, such as Prince Lu’s son, Prince Xin’s son, and others?

They would love nothing more than for this matter to spread, the more chaotic and unpleasant, the better, right?

There was still no guarantee this matter wouldn’t leak, and the best solution, of course, was only one.

To make the best of a bad situation!

No, it wasn’t even a bad situation. His sister was talented, beautiful, well-read, poised, and elegant, backed by the entire Zhao Family. In the future, she’d make a suitable Empress. How could she not match Huangfu Yuxuan?

However, after such an incident, Huangfu Yuxuan only asked Prince Ning Mansion to find out who was behind it without mentioning how to resolve it.

Even if it were known that someone was indeed behind it, the fact remained that his sister had already been seen embracing Huangfu Yuxuan in public. Regardless of how many schemers there were, the reality was still undeniable. So how would his sister marry in the future?

So, Zhao Hua stared at Huangfu Yuxuan, seeing that he remained silent, and he felt somewhat displeased too. What did Huangfu Yuxuan mean by this? As a man, after such an incident, did he really want to avoid responsibility?

Suppressing his anger, trying to keep his voice calm, he said, ”Young Master Xuan, with such an incident, don’t you have something to say to my sister?”

Huangfu Yuxuan naturally understood what this meant.

He didn’t want to offend the Zhao Family, but if he married Zhao Keyan now, what about Xia Wenjin? What about his throne?

Though he had a thought that to achieve great things and secure the throne, it wasn’t necessarily reliant on the fortune of marrying a particular woman. But he needed countless small possibilities to converge into one big possibility. The Stargazing Method, the precious book left by Master Xu Yun of the Bodhi Temple, was it ever wrong?
