Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (22)

He Zhi was completely confused.

So does the young master want His Highness to summon him for the night or not?

Yann Ge’s brow slightly furrowed.

If she really likes him, she should summon him for the night.

This is the simplest way for people like them to express affection.

But he’s been in the palace for so long, and she has never summoned him for the night.

Chuzheng bestowed so many things, Yann Ge went to express his gratitude.

Only to be informed that Chuzheng had left.

-

A remote Cold Palace.

Ning Yao was speaking in a corner with a woman.

”Is everything done?”

”Your Highness, rest assured, everything is ready, just waiting for your order.”

”Act in five days,” Ning Yao nodded, ”You did well this time. Once the Wen Family collapses, she’ll have nothing more to do with it. Your achievement, I won’t forget.”

The person was delighted, ”Thank you, Your Highness!”

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

”Who’s there?”

That person immediately dashed out and came back moments later with a cat in hand.

”Your Highness, it’s just a cat.”

Ning Yao frowned, ”Act cautiously, wait for my message.”

The two quickly parted, and the Cold Palace returned to silence.

In the corner, a shadow flitted past.

-

For several days in a row, Chuzheng was as elusive as the Divine Dragon.

Yann Ge could only see her in the morning.

”What has she been doing these two days?”

”Replying to the young master, Her Highness’s whereabouts are uncertain, but I saw her in contact with the Imperial Guard Army.”

”Is that so.” Yann Ge was pensive.

He Zhi: ”By the way, young master, I also discovered something.”

Yann Ge: ”Speak.”

He Zhi leaned in and whispered in Yann Ge’s ear.

”Is the relationship between her and the Third Princess not the best?”

He Zhi shook his head, puzzled: ”But since the Grand Imperial Princess’s resurrection, their relationship seems to have broken down.”

Yann Ge leaned his chin on his hand, ”So now it is a contest between her and the Third Princess?”

”The target of the Third Princess is the Wen Family.”

In Yann Ge’s clear eyes, a trace of understanding spread: ”That’s her maternal family. When the Wen Family collapses, she’ll collapse with it, posing no more threat.”

”So young master, shall we...”

Yann Ge raised a hand: ”Let’s wait and see.”

-

Chuzheng and Yann Ge finished breakfast.

Yann Ge was exceptionally silent and didn’t eat much, seemingly unhappy.

”Are you sick?”

Chuzheng reached out to feel his forehead.

Yann Ge avoided it.

Chuzheng’s hand came up empty.

”...”

Hey!!

What are you dodging for!

Did I allow you to dodge?!

Chuzheng roughly pulled him over, covering his forehead with her palm.

No fever.

”Why aren’t you eating anything?”

Really think you’re a little princess!!

Alright, the boys in this world are just this delicate, just a little princess.

”Your Highness, did I do something wrong?” Yann Ge lowered his head, his voice muffled.

”???”

What nonsense is this!

Chuzheng praised him, ”You did very well.”

Yann Ge: ”Then why has Your Highness been avoiding me these past two days?”

”...Aren’t I here now?” We see each other every day, okay? Good Person Card, are you forgetful?

”Your Highness only sees me now and then disappears for the rest of the day,” Yann Ge looked up with eyes full of helpless panic, ”Does Your Highness dislike me?”

”I do not.”

”I want to see Your Highness...” Yann Ge held her hand, his head slightly bowed, grievance almost overflowing from him, ”I’m so bored here alone.”

”I’ve been busy these past two days,” Chuzheng patiently explained, ”If you’re bored, let He Zhi take you out of the palace for some fun.”

Chuzheng removed the Palace Plaque of Ziwei Palace and gave it to him.

”Be good, don’t act up.”

Yann Ge held the Palace Plaque, watching Chuzheng leave.

He twirled it around his fingers twice, signaling to He Zhi.

He Zhi stepped forward: ”Young master.”

Yann Ge asked quietly, ”When was the Third Princess’s action planned?”

”It should be tomorrow.”

Yann Ge’s gaze dropped to the Palace Plaque.

His slender fingers brushed over the character ”筝” on the plaque.

He handed the plaque to He Zhi: ”Give this to the Third Princess.”

”Young master...”

He Zhi was a little startled.

Is he going to help the Third Princess?

”What are you afraid of, this Palace Plaque is just icing on the cake, increasing the Third Princess’s odds. After tomorrow, even if she doesn’t die, she won’t have a good ending. This counts as my revenge, doesn’t it?”

”Your Highness... May I speak candidly?”

Yann Ge remained silent.

He Zhi assumed he agreed, carefully choosing his words: ”I think the Grand Imperial Princess is nice, not someone who would do such things.”

Yann Ge’s voice was slightly cold, ”What, it’s only been a few days, and you’ve been bought off?”

”Your Highness, I haven’t been.”

”Go.”

He Zhi hesitated, but eventually left with the Palace Plaque.

Yann Ge returned to his room, supposed to settle down and wait.

But he couldn’t calm himself, restless.

Yann Ge paced the room.

Yann Ge, why did you enter the palace?

Wasn’t it to see her die?

Now with such a good opportunity, how can you let it go?

He leaned against the desk, speaking to thin air: ”Go retrieve He Zhi.”

There was no response, only a gentle breeze blowing by.

Yann Ge fell back into the chair, fingers resting on the strings of the zither on the desk, gently plucking twice.

It’s not that he’s soft-hearted.

He just wants to avenge personally.

If she survives again this time, it means she should die by his hand.

Yann Ge wanted to retrieve the Palace Plaque, but it was too late, He Zhi had already delivered it.

It was the first time Yann Ge thought He Zhi acted quickly.

He Zhi: ”...”

Yann Ge instructed He Zhi to dress him to leave the palace.

-

”Your Highness, this is from today, given by the Third Princess,” the Head of the Imperial Guard handed something to Chuzheng.

Chuzheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Third Princess only bribed a slightly influential member of the Imperial Guard Army.

The Head of the Imperial Guard had been watching closely, and after they met, he brought the item before Chuzheng.

”This is something you should never be without, how could they have taken it?”

”A lapse,” Chuzheng said calmly.

The Head of the Imperial Guard warned, ”Be careful, losing this is no small matter.”

”Hmm.”

Chuzheng gave some instructions and left discreetly.

Chuzheng returned to the palace, glanced in the direction of Jiangyue Pavilion, silently going back to her sleeping quarters.

”Your Highness, you finally returned. Yann Shijun has been kneeling outside your room for two hours.” Mu Mian hurried over, ”Where did you go?”

Chuzheng had already seen the person kneeling outside her room.

She walked over, and Yann Ge raised his head, his face a little pale, his body swayed slightly, ”Your Highness.”

”Why are you kneeling here?”

”Your Highness, I...”

”It’s my fault,” He Zhi, who was kneeling beside him, hurried to speak, ”Today, the Attendant Lord said he was bored and wanted to go out for a walk. Who knew he would run into trouble on the street, and when he returned to the palace, he found the Palace Plaque missing.”

Chuzheng’s gaze was indifferent, ”You both go down.”

He Zhi looked worriedly at his master.

Mu Mian sensing the strange atmosphere, tugged He Zhi, signaling everyone around to withdraw.

The surroundings quieted down.

The Good Person Card cannot be hit.

Cannot be hit!

Cannot...
