Chapter 927 The discarded poisonous flower reappears in the room
An elderly woman who looked quite old leaned down and asked, "What flowers does the princess intend to use this time?"
Princess Jingle thought for a moment.
"Let's get Father a real bouquet of flowers."
She sighed, her eyes filled with helplessness: "My father loves me the most, and I don't want to treat him like that."
"This plan failed, and the same method cannot be used a second time."
“The Princess Zhenguo is extremely cunning. The princess should remove what should be removed to avoid giving others a handle to use against her. We can wait for another opportunity later.”
Princess Jingle stood up.
"Change your clothes and go to the palace."
In the emperor's bedchamber and study, the emperor was reviewing memorials when Eunuch Qi came to report that Princess Jingle had arrived.
"It's Jing Le. Jing Le hasn't come for quite a while," the emperor said, putting down the memorial in a good mood.
"Let her in quickly. She is my precious daughter. Why do you need to announce her arrival? It's your carelessness."
Princess Jingle said as she entered, "Your subject was afraid of disturbing Your Majesty, please do not blame Eunuch Qi."
The emperor said with a chuckle.
"Bring up the princess's favorite snacks, and also milk tea, and a roasted leg of lamb."
“Jingle, you rarely leave the palace. You must stay here with your father a little longer today.”
Princess Jingle nodded slightly, which was taken as acquiescence.
“It is Jing Le who is unfilial and has neglected her father.”
The emperor knew that Consort Jingyue rarely appeared in public, and Consort De hanged herself. Her brother went to the Kingdom of Danu and became a traitor. It could be said that she suffered one blow after another.
Princess Jingle used to be at least a little more lively, but now she—
"Jingle, don't think about what happened in the past. Your father will love you and find you a good husband."
"Jingle will not marry. In my life, there is only one thing left to do," Jingle said softly, her eyelids slightly lowered.
"what's up."
Jing Le raised her eyes, her gaze filled with affection for her elders.
"It's about staying with Father."
The emperor laughed heartily, his face full of satisfaction.
“Jingle, you are a princess of the royal family. Who can control you? Even after you get married, you can come to accompany your father anytime. Your father cannot delay your life.”
Only then did the emperor notice the old nanny beside Princess Jingle, who was holding something covered with a silk handkerchief, from which a faint fragrance emanated.
"What's this."
Princess Jingle took it, and peeled off the silk handkerchief. It was a bunch of flowers with a strange shape and thick, firm petals, which could not be found in the capital.
"These are flowers that I recently found, and I have come to present them to you, Father."
"Why don't I serve it to Father Emperor?"
Princess Jingle carried the bouquet of flowers into her bedchamber. The original bouquet was still on the windowsill, now dried and withered.
She personally picked the flowers and placed them in the vase.
The emperor followed him in and said, "Although this bouquet of flowers is dried, it still has a pleasant fragrance. It's good to keep it as a souvenir."
Princess Jingle shook her head: "The scents of the flowers are too strong and may cause dizziness. I don't want Father to feel unwell."
He then told someone to take the dried flowers away and throw them away.
The emperor said, "Jingle is still the most considerate of me."
Watching the emperor's genuine doting affection for Jing Le, Qiao Lian'er thought to herself, "This is what a true father and daughter are like. They are bound by blood and their bond will not be eroded by self-interest."
Although the emperor said he would treat her as his adopted daughter, she knew very well that the main reason was because she was useful and could help the emperor solve his problems.
However, although the father and daughter lived a peaceful life, she would not let Jing Le's scheming against her go so easily.
She followed the eunuch to the place where the flowers were thrown and picked up the bunch of dried flowers.
Princess Jingle stayed in the palace for more than an hour, having dinner with the emperor before returning to her residence.
It was already quite late at night. After Princess Jingle finished washing up, she entered the inner palace. As soon as she looked up, she saw something on the dressing table.
Before she could even see clearly, her heart skipped a beat. When she finally looked closely, Princess Jingle was completely stunned.
It was a bunch of dried flowers, the very same bunch she had taken down from the emperor's bedchamber and had the eunuchs take away to throw away.
A sense of unease washed over her, and Princess Jingle took a step back.
"Granny Lin, what's going on? Who brought this bouquet of flowers back?"
When Granny Lin came over and saw it, her expression changed.
"Well, I came back with the princess, so I don't know either."
Princess Jingle's fingers felt cold.
Only Granny Lin went to the palace with her; it was impossible for anyone else to bring back this bouquet of dried flowers.
"Has anyone come from the palace?" she asked the maid.
"No one else has been here. Apart from a few servants who attend to the princess, no one else has entered her bedchamber."
Princess Jingle looked very unhappy.
Granny Lin turned to the maids and scolded, "Someone must have slipped in here when you weren't looking. Otherwise, how do you explain this bouquet of flowers?"
"The princess has only been gone for a short while, and you have already become so careless."
The maids were so frightened that they knelt down.
"We can guarantee that after the princess left, we kept a close watch on the palace the whole time, and there were guards at the courtyard gate. There was absolutely no chance for anyone else to get in."
Princess Jingle stiffly raised her hand, signaling them to step back.
She slowly sat down, holding onto the chair, her mind wandering, a morbid fear on her face.
"I know who it is."
"Does the princess mean—"
"It is rumored in the inner circle that she has some special abilities. I didn't believe it at first. I thought she was just a flesh and blood body, limited by that body. Could she possibly jump to the sky?"
"Now it seems that although she can't jump to the sky, she can certainly appear and disappear without anyone noticing."
"The fact that she sent this bouquet of dried flowers again shows that she already knew what I was doing. She even went to the palace with me today and brought the dried flowers back. She is warning me not to go against her."
"The princess has said so much, but who exactly is she—"
Granny Lin had a guess in her mind, but she wasn't sure, as it was too mysterious.
"Princess Zhenguo, Qiao Lian'er." Princess Jingle felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this name.
Granny Lin was startled: "It really is her! How... how did she do that?"
"No matter how she did it, it's her." Princess Jingle seemed to have lost most of her strength. She sat down, holding onto the armrest, and stared blankly at the bouquet of dried flowers.
"I wonder if you still remember the incident when Prince Jin sent people to Xuan County to destroy the dikes and flood the fields."
"Yes, it almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, the Crown Prince pleaded with the Princess Zhenguo, and the Emperor spared Prince Jin."
"Strangely enough, just as Prince Jin's men were setting off, Princess Zhenguo happened to request the Emperor to send people to inspect her territory and administration. The two groups ran into each other, and in fact, in the same place."
"This means she knew about Prince Jin's plan. She infiltrated Prince Jin's residence, yet no one could detect her presence. That's what makes her so terrifying."
