Chapter 633: It’s Actually Him(2)_1
"Watch her closely. If she escapes, none of you will live!"
"Yes!"
The guards at the entrance shivered and immediately lowered their heads to answer respectfully.
Although the Crown Prince’s wife seemed gentle and sophisticated, she was actually a ruthless character who hid a knife within her smile. They all had seen how harshly she dealt with the Prince’s favored concubines, so everyone in the Mansion, from top to bottom, dared not underestimate her...
Helan Xue took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned as if she had thought of something, and asked the housekeeper’s daughter-in-law standing next to her, "Where is the Crown Prince? Why hasn’t he returned yet?"
The housekeeper’s daughter-in-law replied obediently, "The Crown Prince went out early this morning to investigate the case of Empress Mo and Duke Li Guo’s Mansion assisting Princess Zhao Yang’s escape. He planned to return at noon, but before he could return to the mansion, a letter arrived from the Palace. Consort Jin summoned him for a meeting, so he had no time to inform you and went straight to the Palace."
Helan Xue simply hmm’d in response, then turned to a maid standing next to her and said, "You in the green dress, go, order the kitchen to make a pot of ’Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ for the Crown Prince to eat when he returns."
"Yes, the servant will get on it right away," Green Dress bowed and left to carry out the task.
Helan Xue then said to the housekeeper’s daughter-in-law, "Go tell your husband to wait at the palace gate for the Crown Prince. When the Prince comes out, tell him to come home for dinner; tell him I have something to discuss with him."
"Yes!"
