After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 135 Getting rid of Miss Zhao

Feng Yang said in a deep voice: "The truth still needs to be verified by Miss Cui herself, but what is more urgent is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen seem to be intent on getting rid of Miss Zhao to prevent future troubles."

"Does Miss Cui plan to protect Miss Zhao?" Feng Yang asked tentatively.

Cui Rongrong raised her lips with a faint smile: "Of course I have to protect her. Zhao Xian'er is still useful to me, and I can't let anything happen to her."

Feng Yang nodded to show his understanding: "I will keep an eye on it for Miss Cui. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes any action, I will try to inform you in advance."

After saying this, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Cui Rong gently closed the window and looked at the flickering candlelight, with complex light flashing in her eyes.

Song Yanyi must be extremely worried now.

The next morning, Cui Rong dressed up carefully and set out on the journey to the palace.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace gate. When she got off, she unexpectedly met Zhao Xian'er who had also just arrived. This saved her the trouble of going to the Zhao Mansion again.

She smiled lightly and walked forward with light steps, the morning light shining on her delicate face.

"Sister Zhao is up so early today. You must be in high spirits. I was delayed yesterday and arrived at the palace late. When I arrived at the Queen Mother's, you had already gone there. I was not able to chat with you. It was a great pity."

"Therefore, I set off early today, hoping to meet Sister Zhao here. Wouldn't it be wonderful for the two of us to go hand in hand to the Queen Mother's bedroom together?"

Although Zhao Xianer had a smile on her face, it did not reach her eyes, and there was a hint of bitterness in that smile.

"I appreciate Sister Cui's kindness. However, I am afraid I cannot walk with you today. The Queen is eagerly waiting for you. As for the Queen Mother, please convey my apologies to her. Tomorrow I will go there in person and accompany her to make up for today's mistake."

Cui Rong curved her eyebrows and pretended to be surprised, with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Oh? The Queen has agreed to lend you a helping hand? This is rare good news."

Zhao Xian'er's eyes flickered subtly. Although the matter had not yet been settled, her words were like an arrow shot from a bow. Even if the Queen was unhappy, she would most likely lend a helping hand reluctantly for the sake of that "secret".

What's more, the Queen hurriedly asked her to leave yesterday, probably to ask Song Yanyi privately...

Thinking of this, Zhao Xianer's fingers quietly tightened under her sleeves, and her nails almost embedded in her palms.

She quickly adjusted her mood and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which did not reach the depths of her eyes. She looked at Cui Rongrong.

"The Queen's thoughts are profound, and I dare not speculate rashly. But no matter what decision the Queen makes, I have no objection and will follow her arrangements."

Cui Rong smiled gently, her words full of tenderness.

"Sister Zhao is very thoughtful. The Queen loves you very much and will definitely make sure everything is arranged perfectly."

"However, when I was chatting with the Queen Mother yesterday, the maid Fangfei came to report that the Crown Prince had left the Queen Mother's place and seemed to be very busy with government affairs, so he got angry at the guards around him. If you meet the Crown Prince later, Sister Zhao, you must be more careful in the Queen Mother's palace to avoid being implicated."

When Zhao Xianer heard this, her face turned pale instantly.

Song Yanyi's anger was not directed at the guards, it was clearly caused by her!

Her eyes swept across the palace gate, and she hesitated for a moment.

If Song Yanyi was really present, she couldn't help but worry whether she could escape unscathed.

After all, the undisguised murderous intent in Song Yanyi's eyes when he saw "Falling Blood" that day in the restaurant still makes her feel frightened.

Cui Rongrong observed Zhao Xianer's reaction calmly. It seemed that Zhao Xianer had caught the hint in her words.

After a moment, Zhao Xianer forced a smile, her voice sounding a little weak.

"Sister Cui, I suddenly feel a little unwell. I will not disturb the Queen today, so as not to pass on my illness to her and make her worry."

Cui Rongrong's face showed genuine concern.

"Sister Zhao, why do you look so pale? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to come and see you?"

Zhao Xian'er shook her head hurriedly. At this moment, she only wanted to escape from this place of trouble as soon as possible, for fear that if she stayed any longer, Song Yanyi would suddenly appear!

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Cui. It's just a minor ailment. I'll just need to ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine when I get home."

She spoke quickly, eager to end this conversation, "The Queen Mother is still waiting for you, sister, please go in quickly and don't keep her waiting for too long."

"Since Sister Zhao said so, I won't force you. But I'm really worried about you looking like this. I'll always feel uneasy if I don't see you return home safely with my own eyes." Cui Rong's tone was sincere and full of concern.

Zhao Xianer refused several times but was anxious to get away, so she finally nodded in agreement.

The two of them got on the carriage together and drove away slowly.

Upon seeing this, the eunuch guarding the gate hurried to the East Palace and reported the scene to Song Yanyi.

Song Yanyi frowned. He had originally planned to take advantage of Zhao Xianer's visit to her mother to resolve the thorny issue as soon as possible, but he never expected that Zhao Xianer would meet Cui Rongrong at the palace gate!

Regardless of whether Zhao Xian'er was really sick, did it on purpose, or had already noticed something, if she accidentally leaked the secret between them to Cui Rong, it would undoubtedly be a big trouble for him.

After all, Cui Rong has been looking for various excuses to delay the marriage. Once Cui Rong hears about this, it is very likely that it will be reported to her father, resulting in the cancellation of the marriage!

Song Yanyi's face was solemn. He absolutely could not accept such a result!

He waved his hand to dismiss the eunuchs, then called Feng Yang and another secret guard and gave orders in a cold tone.

"Get rid of Miss Zhao, and make sure it's done cleanly and without leaving any traces. At the same time, make sure Miss Cui in the car is unharmed, and there must not be any mistakes!"

"If this matter cannot be handled properly, you two do not need to come back to report to me!"

Feng Yang and the others took the order, and in a flash, they disappeared into the depths of the palace.

At this time, in the carriage, Cui Rong and Zhao Xian'er were chatting casually. Zhao Xian'er seemed uneasy and always paid attention to any movement around her.

Cui Rongrong understood that Zhao Xianer was obviously afraid that Song Yanyi would do something bad to her.

Her eyes turned slightly. It had been some time since she left the palace, and Song Yanyi should have known the news.

If he were to take action, his men might already be following him quietly.

Suddenly, two slight noises were heard outside the carriage, as if it was hit by something. Cui Rong's expression suddenly became nervous.

The sound was long and short, obviously some kind of secret code.

Cui Rongrong approached Zhao Xianer calmly, gently held her hand, her eyes full of care.

"Sister Zhao, why are your hands so cold? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhao Xian'er was startled and was about to answer when the carriage suddenly shook. At the same time, something flew in through the window.
