Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Useless

After drinking a third of the tea, the Saintess could not endure it anymore and begged for mercy.

Zhang Ronghua pretended not to hear and continued to drink his tea.

After drinking the cup of tea, he handed it to his cousin and stopped in front of her again. He waved his hand and temporarily relieved the pain in her body. “Tell me!”

“Old Man Seven Absolutes.”

“Where?”

“He should be in the capital. I’m not sure where he is.”

Seeing that Zhang Ronghua did not believe her and was about to attack again, the Saintess hurriedly corrected her words, “According to our agreement, when the plan succeeds, he will take the initiative to find me.”

This was all they found out.

Although the matter of the Tenth Prince had been sealed, so many people were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The soldiers of the Five City Defense Divisions had been sealed. Only they knew if they would secretly tell others.

Coupled with the palace, it was impossible for the mastermind to not know the many actions of the Xia Emperor.

At this moment, Old Man Seven Absolutes was probably hiding deeper than a rat. How could he show his face if he found a rat hole to hide in?

“I’ll leave it to you.”

After saying that, Zhang Ronghua left with his cousin.

He returned to Xuanhe Hall.

His cousin was waiting at the door. He entered the hall and told him the news.

“The reputation of the imperial family has been completely lost by this trash!” The Crown Prince slapped the table in anger.

“What happens next is no longer something you can interfere in. You performed well this time. You’ll be promoted to the deputy commander of the Flood Dragon Guard.”

He looked at the door.

“Let your cousin in!”

“Come here.”

Hearing his cousin’s voice, Zheng Fugui ran in. Although he was rash, he still bowed and cupped his fists, “Zheng Fugui greets Your Highness!”

“What reward did I hear you ask about just now?”

“This, this…”

Seeing him touch the back of his head in an honest manner, the Crown Prince smiled in a rare manner.

“You’ve also contributed to this matter. Tell me! What do you want?”

“I want to enter the Flood Dragon Guard.”

“Your cousin can authorize that. Make another request.”

Growl!

His stomach let out a disappointing cry. He had been busy since noon and had lived until now. The sky was almost dark and he had not even taken a sip of water. When he thought of the delicious food of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, he blurted out, “I want to eat the feast of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.”

“Haha…” The Crown Prince was amused.

He looked at Qing’er.

“Book the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and let them eat to their heart’s content tonight.”

After a pause, he spoke again.

“Although you’ve just entered the Flood Dragon Guard, your cultivation is good. Coupled with the credit of this time, I’ll promote you to captain.”

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

When he left the hall, he was still smiling from ear to ear. The captain was in charge of 50 subordinates. Was this considered reaching the heavens in a single step?

He changed into the flood dragon armor and hung the flood dragon sword. He was wearing black armor and looked very energetic and imposing.

He spun in front of Zhang Ronghua and grinned, “Handsome?”

“Second in the world.”

“Who’s first?”

“Of course it’s me.”

“Then I have no objections.”

As he spoke, he left the East Palace and walked towards the Heavenly Fragrance Building.

Halfway there.

Zheng Fugui recalled something else and asked, “What should we do with them?”

“This concerns the reputation of the imperial family. The Tenth Prince will be given a cup of poisonous wine. The others will be secretly executed.”

The result was similar to Zhang Ronghua’s guess.

As the Crown Prince entered the palace overnight and sent over the evidence he had grasped, the poisonous wine in the palace had already been sent to the Tenth Prince. He had to drink it even if he did not want to.

The others, including Concubine Wan’s family, were secretly executed.

Old Man Seven Absolutes was captured by the people of the True Dragon Hall. The True Dragon Hall was one of the four great departments of the Great Xia Empire. It was specially used to deal with demons, ghosts, and sects. It had monstrous power and was in the hands of the Xia Emperor.

They arrived at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.

The shopkeeper was a beautiful woman called Xiao Mi. She was about 26 or 27 years old. Her entire body emitted a ripe smell, like a peach, causing people to want to take a bite.

She quickly walked forward and bowed, “Greetings, Lords!”

“Is the food and wine ready?”

“The chef personally took action. It’s already done. We’re just waiting for you.”

They went straight to the third floor, in the largest and most luxurious single room.

Xiao Mi clapped her hands and the maid served the delicious food one by one. She placed them on the table. There were a total of 21 dishes, all made from the meat of demon beasts. Their appearance was exquisite and the fragrance assaulted the nose.

She placed another pot of wine on the table and introduced, “This is the Sky Jade Brew sent by the East Palace. They asked me to hand it to the two lords.”

She kept her gaze on the wine pot.

The golden wine pot was adorned with mountains, rivers, sun, and moon. It was very beautiful.

Zhang Ronghua noticed it. “You want to drink it?”

Xiao Mi hesitated and gritted her teeth. In the end, she could not resist the temptation and nodded lightly.

The reputation of the Sky Jade Brew was too great. It was even a spirit wine that was priceless and extremely rare. It was specially provided for the members of the imperial family to enjoy. Even a prince could only drink a pot a month.

It could not even be seen on the market. Even if she had run the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant for so many years, she had only heard of it and had never drunk it.

Now that the opportunity was in front of her, desire overcame reason, so she spoke presumptuously.

She said, “A glass of wine for 1,000 taels!”

“Money is not omnipotent. There are many things in this world that money can’t buy,” Zhang Ronghua said.

“I misspoke! I won’t disturb the two lords’ meal. I’ll wait outside. Call me if you need me.”

The door closed.

Zheng Fugui was still red in the face and did not say a word from the beginning to the end. He was still very nervous.

Zhang Ronghua teased, “Don’t tell me you fancy her?”

“Nonsense!”

“You better not have such thoughts. If Uncle finds out that you’re looking for someone 11 years older, he’ll break your legs.”

He took the wine pot and poured two cups. The wine was golden in color and contained dense spiritual energy. It was fragrant and dense.

Zhang Ronghua took a sip and put down the wine glass. He sighed, “A glass of wine is comparable to a low-grade Profound-rank medicinal pill without any side effects. Coupled with the lingering taste, no wonder it’s so famous.”

Halfway through, he stood up from his chair. “I’ll go relieve myself.”

Seeing his cousin leave, Zheng Fugui felt guilty. He secretly poured a glass of wine and arrived at Xiao Mi’s place. He blushed and stammered, “Here!”

“That lord knows?”

“He’s my cousin. Hurry up and drink it. When he comes back from the toilet, you won’t have the chance.”

“I’ll give you money.”

“I don’t want money! Hurry up.”

Xiao Mi still could not help but take the wine glass and drink it in one go. Feeling the delicacy of the Sky Jade Brew, she sighed, “Money is indeed not omnipotent.”

She added, “Thank you!”

When Zhang Ronghua returned, he saw that his cousin was restless and lowered his head to eat. He asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“This dish is too delicious. Cousin, eat more.”

Zhang Ronghua did not think too much about it and continued to eat.

After drinking the Sky Jade Brew, the dishes were also finished.

This meal was very worth it.

After leaving the restaurant, he walked towards his new home.
