Su Moqing frowned, "Sit down, don't act like a resentful woman in the boudoir, you are the Fifth Princess!"

Xie Yue'er's eyes suddenly became clear, she slowly sat down and said no more.

The emperor finally understood what was going on.

Turning back to ask Prime Minister Xie, "Prime Minister Xie, returning home is a big deal. Xie Chaochao is also your daughter. How could you run to the palace just because Xie Yue'er got hurt? And make the whole family unhappy? I hope this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

Prime Minister Xie stood up immediately and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and rubbed his temple, "You all go down, thank you Prime Minister for staying."

Everyone slowly left, leaving only Prime Minister Xie and the Emperor in the hall.

After a moment, the emperor finally spoke.

"You have made a great contribution to the fact that he has been well taken care of, Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Xie couldn't guess what the emperor meant by this.

He bowed and said worriedly, "I am very terrified. Please understand, Your Majesty."

The emperor was looking down from high above, his imperial demeanor was unmistakable and no one could underestimate him.

"Isn't it good enough to send the sheep to the sheepfold with my own hands? I specially asked the Fifth Prince to marry her, but you played a trick of replacing the prince with a cat instead."

"What crime should be committed!"

Xie Chengheng knelt down, sweating profusely!

"I know I was wrong! It was really my daughter who threatened to commit suicide in order to force me to marry her... I..."

"Forget it. I have arranged for someone to monitor you. If you find any mistakes, you will be killed without mercy."

"Yes!" Prime Minister Xie kowtowed heavily.

……

Royal Garden.

The group walked slowly. Madam Chu held Xie Yue'er's hand and laughed and chatted with the Fifth Prince, completely ignoring Xie Chaochao and Chu Heng behind them.

She didn't want to care, and Xie Chaochao didn't want to say anything either.

But apparently, with her around, the cynicism will never go away.

"Oh, you are worthy of being my daughter's chosen husband. This time he came back with a carriage of cloth, gold, silver, jewelry, and food."

Su Moqing said calmly, "This is common sense, as long as mother likes it."

"I like it, of course I like it." Madam Xie glanced at Xie Chaochao coldly, but because of Chu Heng, she couldn't look at him coldly, "General Chu, may I ask, when you come back this time, will you..."

"Ten rolls of silk and brocade, two boxes of pure gold and silver jewelry, and one hundred dan of grain..."

After Chu Heng finished speaking, he heard Su Moqing sneer, "That's all?"

Chu Heng smiled and said, "Belong to Gan Anguo."

One word from Gan Anguo made all three of them shut up.

Everyone knows that Gan'an is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Back then, the Chu family army conquered half of the country, and the tributes they offered were all of the best quality, things that could not be bought with money.

One horse is worth a hundred horses and is a priceless treasure.

The three of them didn't say the second half of the sentence, just swallowed their anger. Su Moqing, who was embarrassed, laughed awkwardly, "I see, I really underestimated General Chu."

Chu Heng said calmly, "Does the Fifth Prince think highly of me? Then you can't just propose marriage when I do."

The situation between the two sides is tense.

Just then, the chief eunuch beside the emperor came over and asked Chu Heng and Su Moqing to come for an audience.

In the huge garden, only Xie Chaochao, Xie Yue'er and Madam Xie were left, and the atmosphere became even more suffocating.

Xie Chaochao sat on one side, raised her hand to block the sunlight, took out a small jade bottle from her arms, scooped out a small piece and smeared it on the back of her hand. It was fragrant and white, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Xie Yueer saw it and asked loudly, "What are you painting?"

Xie Chaochao stared at the back of her hand and applied it evenly. "This is the ointment my husband's cousin gave me. I applied it for two days and found that my skin got better and the scars faded. Now that I can get married, I naturally have to take good care of myself."

"Otherwise, if such a big scar remains on your body, it will be unpleasant for you and others to see."

She seemed to be hinting at something.

Xie Yue'er was so angry that the wounds all over her body were aching!

He walked over and snatched the ointment away, saying, "How can you share such a good thing?"

"Do you like it?" Xie Chaochao said unhappily.

"Of course I don't like yours, but there are no bad things in the Chu family."

Mrs. Xie spoke coldly, and walked to the side with Xie Yue'er to dig out a large piece of it and smear it on the wound on her face.

Xie Chaozhao watched silently with a faint smile on his face.

It was midsummer, the sun was shining brightly in the garden, and a few people were admiring the flowers in the pavilion in the back garden. Gradually, countless bees flew over.

Mrs. Xie slapped the bees with her hands, angering them and immediately they became like a hornet's nest.

Xie Chaochao was not spared and jumped into the water immediately.

The whole backyard was in chaos.

Xie Chaochao didn't expect the water to be so deep. She couldn't swim and kept calling for help. When she was about to collapse, a figure jumped down from the stage and lifted her to shore.

"Madam! Chao Chao!"

Xie Chaochao vomited a large mouthful of water, opened her eyes, and saw Chu Heng's worried face. Before she could say anything, he held her tightly in his arms. She could feel his slight trembling all over.

"I'm so glad you're okay...I'll take you to the Imperial Hospital."

He picked up Xie Chaochao horizontally, raised his legs and walked away quickly.

……

Xie Chaochao woke up and found himself in Chu Mansion.

There was a voice at the door, and Pei'er, with swollen eyes, tiptoed in. Seeing her wake up, she was very happy, "Madam, you are finally awake!"

"I'll tell the young general right away."

She ran out excitedly to tell everyone.

After a while, there were chaotic footsteps outside the door.

Chu Heng was the first to rush in. He grabbed her cold hands and rubbed them, "Are you cold? I'll ask them to add another quilt."

Xie Chaochao shook her head. She directed and acted in this play herself, but she didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Mrs. Chu's eyes were red. She ordered people to prepare medicine, feeling distressed. "Chao Chao, what happened? How did you get stung by a bee? Luckily you jumped into the water immediately. Otherwise, your mother and sister would have been in trouble. I heard that their faces were swollen like a water tank."

Xie Yue'er was like this in her previous life, and even if you haven't seen it, you can imagine it.

In order to prevent Xie Yue'er from realizing that the medicine was prepared by Liu Fengling, she specially asked Long Bo to help change the smell and let Pei'er take this medicine. However, she did not expect the drug to be so powerful that she was not spared.

"I don't know. The bees that were waiting here just came. But luckily I'm fine. You don't have to worry."

Mrs. Chu touched her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to prepare a brazier.

……

In the evening, Xie Chaochao put on his clothes and sat in the yard looking at the moon.

It was unknown what the Emperor talked to Chu Heng about. Since he came back, he had been discussing with General Chu in the study, and would occasionally come back to see her.

But now, she was not waiting for Chu Heng.

After thinking for half an incense stick of time, a figure sneaked in. Seeing someone sitting in the yard, he was so scared that he quickly hid behind a pillar.

Xie Chaochao drank a sip of tea and said indifferently, "I see you, come out."

A figure walked out of the darkness.

Liu Fengling looked at her with a dark face, and said with a half-smile, "Cousin, are you okay?"

"Thanks to you, I'm fine."

Xie Chaochao found that he was relying on others for favors day by day. Nothing good happened to him, only rubbish. He had to go against his conscience and he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"How can it be my blessing? I didn't do anything."
