Long Live the Empress

Chapter 112 Gentle and affectionate

Yue Jinghong was moved by the prince's words "my woman". She stepped forward and hugged the prince's waist. "It's enough for me to hear your words. It's worth it even if I get beaten by you again!"

The prince also hugged Yue Jinghong's slender waist, "Yue Jinghao is narrow-minded, don't go against her now, you can avenge today later!"

Later? Does this mean that the prince wants to take her as his consort? Yue Jinghong raised her head and looked at the prince with affectionate eyes, "Really?"

The prince nodded quickly, "Of course it's true! It was my mother's idea to break off the engagement with Yue Jinghao this time!"

"The Queen also agreed?"

"My queen mother will never allow a woman with a corrupt conduct to be my Crown Princess! It's just... alas... my queen mother already has a candidate for the Crown Princess in mind..." The prince said helplessly, but when he heard Yue Jinghong's words, it was as if the duck that was already in his hand flew away again.

"Then what should I do?" Yue Jinghong hugged the prince's waist tightly, and her suppressed crying made people feel distressed. "My aunt is a concubine, so I understand the pain of being a concubine. That's why I don't want to be a concubine and live under the Crown Princess's will!"

"I have also told mother, but you also know that I am the crown prince! The crown princess must be someone who can help me... mother has considered it for a long time..." Before the crown prince could finish his words, Yue Jinghong said hastily: "I can also help the crown prince! I have not relaxed for a moment this month, and now I have thought of a way to get rid of the second prince!"

"That's my brother, Jinghong, don't talk nonsense!" The prince's tone was getting colder, but Yue Jinghong persuaded him, "Since ancient times, which emperor didn't ascend the throne by stepping on the bones of his brothers? The prince is kind and cares for his brother, but how can the prince guarantee that the second prince doesn't think the same way? If the second prince makes a move first, the prince will be passive!"

The prince was shocked by Yue Jinghong's words, "No, Second Prince will not do that!"

"Prince, have you forgotten the embezzlement incident at Heba a while ago? If the Second Prince didn't have that intention, why would he take the risk?" Yue Jinghong looked at the indecisive prince, feeling a little disappointed. Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless. A prince like him may not be able to accomplish anything great! But it's better this way. The prince can hold more power if he doesn't do anything!

The prince thought for a long time before he sighed, "Just follow Jinghong's advice!"

Yue Jinghong finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she could accomplish this important task, the Queen would look favorably upon her. Even if she couldn't be made a concubine immediately, she would already be halfway successful!

The two of them talked to each other for a while before Yue Jinghong left reluctantly.

"Someone come!" As soon as Yue Jinghong left, the prince's face was no longer as gentle and tender as before. Instead, it was replaced by a murderous aura.

A man in black responded and knelt on one knee, "I'm here!"

The prince poured the tea that Yue Jinghong had just poured for him onto the ground and said, "Keep a close watch on the Second Prince's mansion. As soon as the Second Prince leaves the mansion, notify Yue Jinghong!"

"Yes!"

Coincidentally, on her way back home, Yue Jinghong saw Fan Ronghua alone in Wanjinxiang looking at rouge. Yue Jinghong asked the driver to stop the carriage and went to the rouge shop.

When I approached Fan Ronghua, I heard Fan Ronghua asking the little maid which color would suit her. The little maid was just a servant, so how could she dare to give advice to her master? She hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything.

Just as Fan Ronghua was about to explode, she saw a delicate hand pick up a box of light pink rouge, "This lady has fair skin, this box is the most suitable!"

Seeing that Yue Jinghong's outfit was well matched, Fan Ronghua believed her words a little and asked the waiter to pack up the box of rouge. "Who is this lady?"

Zhenzhu saluted and said with a little pride, "Our young lady is Yue Jinghong, the second young lady of the Yue Mansion!"

Although Fan Ronghua had never met Yue Jinghong in person, he knew a lot about Yue Jinghong. "Could it be the Yue Jinghong who handed in a blank paper at Fengzhuo Academy?"

Yue Jinghong cursed Fan Ronghua in her heart. Does this guy know how to chat? But there was a trace of regret on her face. "Ah, it's all because of my poor health, that's why..." She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Zhenzhu quickly held Yue Jinghong's arm, "Why is the Second Miss still trying to please the Eldest Miss at this time? It's obvious that the Eldest Miss is jealous of your talent and doesn't want you to steal her limelight, so she drugged the food that day..."

Yue Jinghong grabbed Fan Ronghua's arm in panic, "Miss, don't listen to this girl's nonsense! It's my own health that's not good enough, don't blame others!"
