Chapter 198 Cricket Fight (1)

Rouyi Hall

Yun Jin was taking the hairpins and rings from the Crown Princess. "Your Majesty, why don't you punish Concubine Guo? She has gone too far in attacking you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"What kind of punishment can be more painful than separating mother and child? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already dealt with the most severe punishment. What can I do if I still insist on not giving in? The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. It would not be good if something goes wrong." How could the Crown Princess not want to teach Guo a lesson? Taking her son away from her would teach her a lesson better than any punishment.

Besides, she was also ready to see what Qingluan was planning to keep secret.

The next day, the Crown Princess called Zhu Zhanji alone and told him what happened yesterday.

"I know you had good intentions at the time, and it wasn't your fault that things turned out this way, but this incident has taught you a lesson. Remember next time, your unintentional kindness may lead to bad results." After the Crown Princess finished explaining what happened, she gave him one last warning.

"I understand, son." Zhu Zhanji nodded silently without saying anything.

"Agui, mother knows that you value brotherhood, but there are some things you must understand. You are not brothers from an ordinary family. You and they are destined to have a different future. In the future, you should not be too involved with them." The Crown Princess saw his lost look and said the words she didn't want to say to him.

Zhu Zhanji didn't know what he heard, and suddenly said angrily: "Is it because of this that mother rarely lets Zhanyong and Zhanzang play with me?"

"I... am not..." The Crown Princess didn't know how to explain this. Zhu Zhanji was brought up by His Majesty and the late Queen when he was born, and even she, the mother, rarely saw him. When she didn't have other children, she naturally missed Zhu Zhanji, but later she gave birth to two sons, and her energy was naturally divided. "Look, almost all of your Royal Grandfather's children were born to your Royal Grandmother alone. They are all brothers and sisters, but you have also seen your uncle and your father since you were a child. For that position, what kind of family affection is there. I can't let you repeat your father's path. You have seen how hard your father has been for more than ten years."

"But mother, I believe my brothers would not do such a thing." Zhu Zhanji naturally knew these things, but he still believed that his brothers would not do such a thing.

"You can't judge a person by his appearance, but by his heart. Your uncle and his friends didn't become like that from the beginning. Okay, don't say anything more."

"Then I will go back first." Zhu Zhanji knew that he would not be able to convince his mother for the time being.

Qingyun Palace

After Zhu Zhanji came back from the Crown Princess's place, he stayed in the study alone, not seeing anyone, and didn't even come out at mealtime. Wu Cheng was anxious outside the door, wondering why the prince had locked himself in the room after visiting the Crown Princess? He had called a few times just now but there was no response. What should he do if something happened?

He anxiously grabbed a eunuch and said, "Go and ask the Crown Princess to come over. Oh, forget it, I'll go there myself." Wu Cheng thought about it and decided to go and ask her in person.

He hurried to Hu Shanxiang's yard. Just as Hu Shanxiang was about to eat, she heard that Wu Cheng wanted to see her. Thinking that there must be something urgent at this time, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and went out.
