Chapter 492: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 37

Xie Zhao stared at her intently.

Lu Zhihuan felt a little uncomfortable. He raised his hand to touch his cheek and said weakly, "Is there something on my face?"

Xie Zhao said after a while, "No!"

No! No, why are you looking at me like that?

Lu Zhihuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he lowered his head and drank a cup of tea to hide his embarrassment.

How could she know that Xie Zhao was actually testing whether she could still hear his thoughts?

The result...cannot.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage creaked.

Xuancao sat in the carriage at the back, but she didn't expect there was a hot water bottle inside.

It turns out that the little parrot that the young lady sent back belonged to the Prince Regent!

It’s great that I can go back to the palace again.

……

Regent's House

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the palace, and Butler Xu hurried to greet it.

"We sincerely welcome the prince back to his residence."

Xie Zhao was the first to get out of the carriage. Seeing Lu Zhihuan holding the cloak under his arm and about to get off, he frowned and said, "Put it on."

"Oh, okay!" She fiddled with the carriage for a long time before getting out.

It was the first time that Butler Xu saw the prince being so patient.

Seeing Lu Zhihuan coming down, Butler Xu bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Princess."

Hemerocallis: “…”Ha!

Lu Zhihuan: “…”

He greeted him awkwardly, "Butler Xu...Butler Xu."

She scratched her forehead a little embarrassedly, covered her face with half her hand, and secretly looked at Xie Zhao.

This guy's speed is faster than a rocket.

"Let's go!"

Xie Zhao then walked towards the door, and Lu Zhihuan hurriedly trotted after him.

Xie Zhao still had official business to attend to and could not send her to Wutong Courtyard.

He stopped and said, "Let Butler Xu take you back to your yard."

"Oh, no, I can find it."

Butler Xu quickly bowed and said, "Princess, the prince has arranged a separate place for you to stay. It was ready yesterday."

"Okay!" She looked at Xie Zhao, "Then your Highness, please get busy!"

After hearing her response, Xie Zhao nodded and left with Tuying.

Lu Zhihuan looked at his back. He had just recovered yesterday morning, and he had arranged all this so quickly!

She expected to deal with Lin Zhizhong, but she didn't expect him to come to the palace so soon and even enter the house.

A sedan chair was carried to her, "Princess, please get in."

Lu Zhihuan nodded slightly and stepped into the sedan chair.

It took a quarter of an hour to reach the so-called Wutong Courtyard.

What comes into view is an exquisite white marble screen wall carved with auspicious cloud patterns.

Lu Zhihuan walked in and walked around the screen wall. The exquisite courtyard appeared before his eyes.

Butler Xu said respectfully, "Princess, the towering tree in this courtyard is the sycamore tree.

This tree has been a symbol of good fortune since ancient times. Legend has it that the phoenix only roosts in the Wutong tree. This is why our courtyard is named Wutong Courtyard.

Lu Zhihuan watched Butler Xu enjoying the performance with great interest.

She also gave him some face and "appreciated" it.

After pursing her lips, she couldn't help but complain to the system.

[Oh my! He's bald, what's there to see?]

996 pouted in disdain and said pretentiously, "These branches have different shapes, resembling a simple yet vigorous sketch."

Damn it, you’re pretending again.

Butler Xu finally appreciated it and turned around to continue the introduction.

"Princess, look."

"Ah, I see." There is an arch bridge in the middle and lotus ponds on both sides.

Wow! This lotus pond is not frozen.

As if understanding her confusion, Butler Xu explained with a smile, "The skilled craftsmen have put a lot of thought into ensuring the precious koi fish survive the winter safely."

He pointed to the tiny holes at the bottom of the bluestone bridge where bubbles were coming out. "This water is brought in from the Nuanxiang Stream in the palace."

"Hot spring water?" Lu Zhihuan asked in surprise.

Butler Xu nodded. "It's a bitterly cold winter, and other people's ponds are frozen, but ours is nourished by spring water, and that's why the koi are thriving."

After crossing the bluestone bridge, there were many servants standing in front of the courtyard.

Seeing her coming, he immediately knelt down and saluted, "Your servant greets Her Majesty the Princess."

Xuancao also straightened her back. She couldn't show her timidity and embarrass the young lady.

"No need to be so polite!" Lu Zhihuan raised his hand slightly.

Butler Xu said, "Princess, please go inside and rest! I will leave the rest to Miss Xuancao."

Lu Zhihuan bowed slightly, "Then I'll have to trouble Steward Xu. Xuancao is completely clueless about the affairs of the mansion, so I hope Steward Xu will be more tolerant and give more advice."

"Princess, you're welcome."

Only after two maids opened the curtain did Lu Zhihuan walk into the main hall.

After taking off her cloak, she walked to the table and sat down. The maid immediately handed her a cup of warm tea.

Lu Zhihuan sighed, "It's worth all my efforts to capture him. This is what I deserve."

……

Xie Zhao was in the study listening to Tu Bao talking about the follow-up of the Lin family.

Lin Zhizhong had been imprisoned and was about to be exiled. His property had also been confiscated.

Lin's mother was sent to the Jiaofangsi. Logically, since she was old, she should have done some odd jobs like sweeping and washing.

But the prince gave the order, asking her to learn singing and dancing like other court prostitutes to entertain people.

To prevent her from talking nonsense and poisoning her voice.

Xie Zhao listened expressionlessly, and finally just said "hmm".

He picked up the secret letter beside him and talked about the General of Cavalry.

Tuying said, "Your Majesty, you are right. The Tong family did provide a lot of food this time, transporting it in carts and carts."

"Could it be to win people's hearts?" Tu Bao asked with some doubt.

Xie Zhao rubbed his fingers unconsciously twice before saying, "No."

Empress Dowager Tong was under house arrest, and he saw that the Tong family had no hope of monopolizing power, so he decided to burn his boats.

"Have Tulang keep a close eye on who the General of the Cavalry has close ties with. Remember, don't miss any clues."

"Yes." Tu Bao immediately went down to pass on the message.

Xie Zhao stood up, walked to the window, looked at the red plum blossoms in the distance, and said lightly, "Let Tuxiao help Tuhu and find a chance to intercept the Tong family's food."

"Yes." Tuying went out to inform Tuxiao.

Xie Zhao turned around, looked at the piles of memorials on the desk, and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

ten years old.

How many more years will he have to work hard?

He is becoming more and more lazy now. Several ministers have reviewed the memorials together with the emperor.

He didn't even bother to look it up.

Looking at the sky outside, he had to finish these memorials before he could have dinner with her.

After sighing, he sat down helplessly and began to look through the memorials.

From time to time, he would use a red pen to sketch a few times.

Before we knew it, it had darkened and Tuying came in to light the lamp.

Xie Zhao raised his head and asked, "What time is it?"

"Your Highness, it's almost evening." Tuying put down the candle in his hand.

He put the reviewed documents on the table into the tray.

Xie Zhao glanced at the remaining memorials and stood up decisively, "Let's eat first."

"Yes."

Tuying was a little surprised. This was the first time that the prince took the initiative to arrange a meal.
