Chapter 167
Just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys
At this time, Poria came over from the small kitchen carrying pear soup.
"Your Highness, I think those people deserve what they deserve. However, His Highness the Crown Prince broke up with the people in that palace today. Did he offend the imperial concubine too much? Will it be detrimental to him then?"
She was more worried about this. After all, Xia Chengyun killed not just a palace maid, but Shi Qingjun's dowry palace maid, and he used such provocative methods.
"Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince is like this today, is it because of you?"
Except for Xia Hanyu, Fuling really couldn't think of a reason for him to do this.
What's more, there are rumors outside that the palace maid wanted to conspire to harm Xia Hanyu. Many people are even saying that it was the imperial concubine who wanted to harm the eldest princess. She even did it when the eldest princess fell into the water and became ill.
Xia Hanyu ticked the hook and said "hmm" without saying much.
Even though Cheng Yun was only looking for a maid from Shi Qingyun's palace, he actually put the blame on her for this accident so that she could not defend herself.
In this way, even if Shi Qingyun really wanted to do something to her, he wouldn't dare to do anything to her. This would be settled once and for all.
It seems that her brother is not completely brainless. In that case, what he did in the past was really just being encouraged?
Xia Hanyu didn't believe it.
Fuling saw that she was deep in thought, so she didn't bother her and just put the pear soup next to her.
Fortunately, Xia Hanyu came back to her senses after a while, picked up the pear soup and drank it in small sips.
She doesn't like to eat boiled pears, but she likes to drink soup made from pears.
"Your Highness, there are still rumors outside..."
Fuling hesitated for a moment and decided to convey some other information she heard outside to Xia Hanyu.
"What other rumors are there?"
Xia Hanyu lowered his eyes and asked her calmly.
Fu Ling pursed her lower lip, with a look of anger on her face, "How dare they say that His Highness the Crown Prince is ruthless and cruel at such a young age... He is not worthy of being the Crown Prince at all."
However, after hearing this, Xia Hanyu sneered, "If Chengyun is really cruel, then these are not the only people who will die today."
Everything he did today was the result of his careful consideration. Xia Hanyu didn't think what he did was cruel. On the contrary, he was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, which was a very good thing.
With this thought in mind, she whispered: "Go and take out the ring that I have carved before and send it to the carrier."
If he does good deeds, he will naturally be rewarded.
"only."
Poria thought of something, a big smile appeared on her face, and she walked aside. After a while, she took out a ring and walked outside.
She had always hoped that the sibling relationship between His Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince would get better, and she was naturally happy now. She felt that the Empress would also be happy in heaven.
After Poria cocos left, Bai Zhi on the side took the finished snow pear cup from Xia Hanyu's hand.
Xia Hanyu: "Bai Zhi, do you think Cheng Yun's methods are cruel?"
Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment and then said truthfully: "Your Highness, I don't think this is cruel, and His Highness the Crown Prince is doing this to protect you."
Although Bai Zhi had always felt that Xia Chengyun was inhumane and unreasonable, and was not worthy of the eldest princess's treatment of him. But after these days of getting along with him, she felt that he did not dare to be a pitiful person, and since he was with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
He is very well-behaved and has never harmed anyone. He even takes the initiative to help the tenants with farm work and socialize with their children. He is not a born evil person. He just lacks someone to teach him.
And if she were the prince today, she might do the same thing, but she wouldn't do it better than the prince.
"Yes, he is trying to protect me." Xia Hanyu was slightly lost in thought, but in the end he just smiled.
