Chapter 248 The Man Behind the Scenes (1)

"Do you admit your mistake?" The Crown Princess came out and stood under the eaves and asked as she saw the rain getting heavier.

Zhu Zhanji still stood up straight and said stubbornly: "I don't know where I went wrong."

"Okay, very good. In that case, just kneel down." Seeing that he was still so stubborn, the Crown Princess simply ignored it. If he wanted to kneel, then just kneel down.

The Crown Princess walked back into the palace angrily, "Where is that maid?"

"I will bring the person here right away."

Wu Yingyue looked at Zhu Zhanji distressedly under the eaves, wondering whether she should go over and hold an umbrella for His Royal Highness. Just as she was about to get the umbrella, Yun Jin came out and called her, "Miss Yingyue, the Crown Princess asked you to go over?"

"Yes." Wu Yingyue could only glance at Zhu Zhanji, then turned around and walked in.

"Crown Princess, the person has been brought here." Yun Jin said.

"Greetings, Crown Princess." Wu Yingyue knelt down.

The Crown Princess looked at her angrily, "What on earth is going on? I just asked you to deliver something to Agui, how did it suddenly become like this? Tell me everything that happened today."

"Yes, I was delivering something to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as instructed by the Empress. When I arrived, I saw the Crown Prince's Consort was also there, and then... I really didn't do anything. Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought me here, and this is what happened today." Wu Yingyue recounted in detail what happened to her visit to Qingyun Palace.

The Crown Princess frowned more and more as she listened. This was different from the countermeasures they had discussed at the beginning. Now they were in a dilemma. "Okay, Crown Princess, you kept saying in front of me that you believed in Agui, and you looked virtuous and generous. I was the one who made the decision for her, but now you turn around and quarrel with Agui?" Seeing that she had been kneeling, the Crown Princess asked her to speak. "Okay, you stand up first. It's really not your fault. Agui was just too impulsive."

"Your Majesty, I don't want the position of a concubine. I only ask to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please forgive His Royal Highness. I'm afraid his body won't be able to bear it if he keeps kneeling like this." Wu Yingyue didn't get up immediately. Instead, she pleaded with Zhu Zhanji. She thought, isn't that how the white lotus characters in TV dramas act? They retreat in order to advance, so that the Crown Princess will look up to her.

"You are a sensible person. It is not the decision of this palace and the Crown Prince to appoint a concubine. It needs to be discussed with the Royal Concubine. This palace specially called you in to explain it to you. It would be great if you can figure it out now. So, I want you to serve Agui so that you can have a chance to meet him. As for the position, it depends on your ability. Agui is not young anymore. When His Majesty was his age, there were princesses and princes."

"I will only follow your orders, Your Majesty." The Crown Princess' words were self-evident, and Wu Yingyue naturally understood them.

"Okay, I'm glad you understand." The Crown Princess was very satisfied to see that she was so aware of the current situation.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fainted." A palace maid came hurriedly to report.

"What? Why don't you call the imperial physician and have His Highness brought in?" The Crown Princess hurriedly stood up and walked out quickly.

Zhu Zhanji was placed in a side hall. Just as the palace servant changed his wet clothes, the imperial physician came.

"Imperial Physician, how is Agui?" the Crown Princess asked anxiously.

"Your Highness, there is nothing serious wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He just fainted from exhaustion. However, he was caught in the rain and I am afraid he will have a high fever at night. He needs to be watched more closely. I will prescribe a prescription for him right away. Please drink a few bowls of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

"I'm sorry to bother you, doctor."
