With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Chapter 368 Do you know Grand Tutor Zhu Heng?

Zhaoming spoke decisively, his voice firm and refreshing.

Shu He looked embarrassed and whispered, "Princess, this last box has been reserved..."

The excitement in his bright eyes suddenly disappeared, and then a hint of displeasure appeared. "Reservation? If it's a reservation, then it hasn't been paid for yet. Just reject that person."

"This..." Shu He raised his head slightly, deliberately showing an embarrassed look.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming snorted coldly, "Why, you don't want to?"

Upon hearing this, she quickly bowed and apologized, explaining, "Princess, please forgive me. That person is indeed of a very noble status. I'm just a small businessman. I really can't afford to offend him..."

"Your status is noble?" Zhao Ming sneered, "How noble? Can you be more noble than me?"

Seeing her hesitant and fearful expression, Zhao Ming's eyes showed a hint of contempt, and he said coldly, "Speak! I have your back, what are you afraid of? I want to see who in this capital dares to steal my things?!"

Shu He bent down, hesitating for a while, and finally spoke before Zhao Ming's patience was about to run out, "Yes, Madam Zuo Xiang."

"Madam of the Left Prime Minister?" Zhao Ming was slightly stunned, then sneered, "I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's her!"

"I've heard that she's become increasingly complacent in the past two years. It turns out there's truth to her rumors."

"There are only five boxes of Rejuvenating Cream in total. There are so many nobles in Kyoto, and she dares to pre-order it?! Does she think that other nobles are not worthy of using this thing before her?"

She stood up, took another piece of osmanthus cake from the table, and skimmed it into the lake bit by bit.

Looking at the fish scrambling for food in the water, her previous interest disappeared, and she was left with only contempt and disgust. "A merchant woman can actually be called a noble one day."

"It's true that when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit!"

"Fu Qingrong has become the Princess of Jin, and the Prince of Jin is now highly regarded by his brother, the Emperor, in the palace. Does she think her daughter will definitely become the Queen Mother?"

Liu Xi stood aside, sweating profusely after hearing these words, "Princess..."

This is Kyoto, not Beisha City. Walls have ears. If the discussion about the succession to the throne gets to the palace, the eldest princess's house arrest will probably be extended indefinitely!

Zhao Ming glanced at him with disdain, "What are you afraid of? What can my royal brother do to me now?"

There's no way he could kill her!

Shu He stood respectfully aside, with his head lowered, as if he had heard nothing.

Zhao Ming glanced at her with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Liu, just give me the rejuvenating cream. If the Left Prime Minister's wife dares to cause you trouble, tell her to come to me. I want to see if she has the courage!"

Having said that, Shu He naturally handed the box of ointment to Liu Xi.

The eldest princess looked at the small box of ointment. The white and delicate ointment had a faint medicinal fragrance. Just one sniff made her feel refreshed.

This medicine is so magical?!

"how much is this?"

Shu He didn't say anything and acted as if he didn't dare to ask for money.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming smiled faintly and said, "I heard that the Ninth Prince bought this ointment from you and spent 100,000 taels?"

One hundred thousand taels is such a small amount, it's really shockingly expensive.

Shu He was silent, looking as if he didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming added, "However, you are right. One hundred thousand taels to buy twenty years of youth is indeed worth it!"

Hearing this, Shu He said, "Although the ingredients used in this ointment are extremely rare and hard to find in the world, Princess Yu Tianqi has made great contributions, and I dare not take advantage of her money. Your Highness, if you like it, please give me a small reward."

Zhaoming smiled faintly, and his satisfaction with her increased a little.

He is a very good person who can talk, handle things, and save face for others. She likes dealing with such people!

"I'm not someone who's short of money."

"Liu Xi, I like Mr. Liu very much. Please go to the accounting office to withdraw the money. By the way, please bring me my favorite cloisonné enamel gilded phoenix hairpin. I want to give it to Mr. Liu."

Shu He was frightened and thanked him quickly.

The goal had been achieved, and Zhaoming had no reason to keep her.

Shu He was about to say goodbye when he noticed the princess's expression change slightly. She asked, "Do you know Grand Tutor Zhu Heng?"

Grand Tutor Zhu Heng?

Zhu Zifeng's father?

She replied, "Princess, I'm doing business in Kyoto, so I naturally need to understand the nobles there."

"Grand Master Zhu Heng is a trusted official of the imperial court. He has served for twenty years, maintaining a clean record and maintaining integrity. He is a renowned figure..."

"There's no need to say so many nice words to flatter me. I'm not Zhu Heng." Zhao Ming interrupted her and glanced at her lightly.

Shu He immediately understood that the eldest princess and the Zhu family had fallen out. "Yes, I spoke too much."

Seeing that she was smart and quick to admit her mistake, Zhao Ming finally let go of his displeasure. "I am reminding you out of kindness because you are quite clever."

remind?

Shu He looked puzzled and asked carefully, "What does Your Highness mean?"

Zhaoming leaned back on the couch, holding a peeled tangerine in his hand and looking at it from side to side, looking very lazy and casual.

"Zhu Heng originally had two sons and one daughter. His daughter, Zhu Zifeng, was deeply loved by the Zhu family, especially by her two brothers, who loved her dearly. However, six months ago, Zhu Zifeng died unexpectedly. Her two brothers believed she was murdered, so they searched everywhere for the person who killed her."

After hearing this, Shu He probably understood, but she still pretended not to understand.

"Do you know why the palace asked you to come here today?"

Shu He replied, "It's for the rejuvenating cream."

"wrong!"

She smiled faintly, "It's because I heard a piece of news that said you look very similar to a woman I met in Beisha City half a year ago, or even the same person! So, I was curious and asked you to come here to confirm it. Buying the rejuvenating cream was just a side note."

"But at this point, this news is really groundless and cannot be verified."

Shu He didn't say anything and waited for her to continue.

"This palace has received this news, and the Zhu family should have received it as well."

She looked at Shu He, as if waiting for her response.

After Shu He realized this, he said in confusion, "Princess, please forgive me, I still don't understand."

Zhaoming didn't seem surprised at all that she said that.

"Of course you don't understand. If you do, it means the news is true!"

"Well, I'll just say it."

"Some people say that you are the one who killed Zhu Zifeng. When the two sons of the Zhu family hear about this, they will probably come looking for trouble with you. You should prepare for this matter in advance."

Seeing the fear on Shu He's face, as if he wanted to ask something, she waved her hand.

"Alright, I'm telling you this out of kindness, considering your cleverness. You can handle anything else on your own."

Shu He nodded, "Thank you, Princess."
