“Zian is different from us. Imperial Father is not at ease to let him live outside because of his previous situation. Crown Prince, you can rest assured that soon Zian will be married and leave the palace.” No matter what, Prince Wen was still the same. He doesn’t care. Seeing the Crown Prince still wanted to argue, Prince Wen immediately blocked him by saying: “Crown Prince, I heard that Imperial Aunt was injured. How about we visit her tomorrow?”

The Crown Prince’s provocative words were blocked, so his tongue was twisted for a while. And then said: “Eldest Imperial Aunt had an accident, I’m not in the mood to go out. Imperial Brother Wen, you can ask Zian. He has always been close to Imperial Aunt.”

As soon as the Crown Prince entered the capital, he heard that Lin Chujiu had an accident and her face was ruined. For some reason, he felt a strange pleasure inside his heart.

Without that gorgeous face, he wanted to see if Lin Chujiu can still stay as Xiao Wangfei and appeared in front of others!

The news that Lin Chujiu’s face was ruined seemed to have grown wings. It spread to the upper-classmen in an instant. Xiao Zian brought the Seventh Prince to Xiao Wangfu the next day to visit Lin Chujiu, but they failed to see her!

Prince Wen also went but didn’t see her either.

Hearing this news, Meng Xiuyuan, who was in the academy outside the capital,  rushed to visit, but also failed to see her!

Lin Xiang and Lin Furen also came to Xiao Wangfu on the third day after Lin Chujiu was injured, but Lin Chujiu also refused to see them.

At first, many people were skeptical but seeing Lin Xiang also failed, those people believed that it was true. When the Crown Prince also visited and experienced the same treatment, everyone believed that Lin Chujiu’s face was ruined.

When the news that Lin Chujiu’s face was ruined came out, the happiest person was Mo Yuer: “Lin Chujiu, you finally had such a day. I wanted to see, now that you don’t have such a gorgeous face, can you keep Xiao Wangye?”

Even though the emperor put her under house arrest in the palace, Mo Yuer’s cold and arrogance didn’t change because of her icelike beauty. However, when she heard that Lin Chujiu’s face was ruined, she showed a face that looked very different from her icelike beauty.

Not only Mo Yuer was very happy, but also Lin Wanting. In her opinion, now that Lin Chujiu’s face was ruined, Xiao Wangye would definitely abandon Lin Chujiu. Then, she naturally could replace her and marry Xiao Tianyao.

Just thinking about it, Lin Wanting felt that she was about to fly and her eyes brightly shine. She even secretly began to sew a wedding dress in private.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince has been busy investigating the cause of the death of Princess Fushou Zhang in the past few days and has no time to pay attention to Lin Wanting. Otherwise, he will learn that Lin Wanting was already preparing to marry Xiao Tianyao. He will probably vomit blood in anger after hearing it.

*

The Emperor thought that 1 to 2 days were enough to find out the cause of Princess Fushou Zhang’s death, but he never thought that his spy will take 4 days to find out.

“Your majesty, the male pet who pretends to be a maidservant was found by Xiao Wangfu’s people. He was thrown in the south of the Yangtze River because of his dirty disease. He was cured by Xiao Wangfu and then was sent to the Eldest Princess… …”

“The Eldest Princess has been very close to the people in the Northern Territory recently, and secretly contacted the Zhang family. The Zhang family has a grudge against Xiao Wangfei due to the grain matter, so they took the initiative to contact the eldest princess and ask her to draw Xiao Wangfei outside the capital. The Zhang Family wanted to kidnap Xiao Wangfei and use her to threaten Xiao Wangye.”

“In the afternoon when the eldest princess had an accident, a cargo ship of the Zhang Family sail to the Central Empire. It is reported that before sailing, some people saw the Zhang Family had carried several big wooden boxes, and then one of them got off the ship and headed to the direction of frontline… …”

“There is no doubt that Xiao Wangfei has hurt her face. She is now recuperating in Xiao Wangfu. And that person is indeed Xiao Wangfei.”
