Chapter 1272 Double Standard 4 Princes
Madam Wan Du was left in the Wan Du Sect to handle matters, so no one informed the little princess at all.
After Yan Li and the others returned to the capital, they prepared to start reorganizing the situation and did not want to delay any further.
It happened to be the emperor's birthday, so the prince and his entourage decided to get things done on that day.
At this time, the little princess was still waiting for the crown prince to be poisoned and the other princes to die suddenly so that she could realize her dream of becoming the queen.
Yan Li also received an invitation on the emperor's birthday. Since this was the day the prince was preparing to completely clear away all obstacles, Yan Li would naturally be there.
At the birthday party.
When the prince walked in with Yan Li, the little princess's eyes kept lingering on the prince.
She couldn't understand why the poison hadn't taken effect on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even though three days had passed since he ate those snacks.
Although he looked in good spirits today, the little princess couldn't help but frown.
She even wondered if the plate of snacks had been replaced by someone?
"Brother Crown Prince, why haven't I seen you out for the past two days?" The little princess walked towards the Crown Prince and asked tentatively.
"Of course you are busy preparing birthday gifts for your father. Haven't you prepared anything?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at her.
"Of course there is." The little princess said immediately after hearing this.
Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ignored her and walked towards his seat.
The little princess looked at the Crown Prince's back as he left, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.
It was not only because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not look like he was poisoned at all, but more importantly, he had become much more distant from her.
Did he already know that I had poisoned him?
The little princess was wondering in her heart, and her eyes looked towards the entrance of the banquet.
She thought that her master should be back today to attend her father's birthday banquet, and then she would let her take a good look to see if the prince was poisoned.
Who would have thought that when the little princess looked towards the entrance, she actually saw the fourth prince, who had been disabled for many years, walking in!
And isn’t the person following the Fourth Prince the ancestor of the Wan Du Sect?
This old ancestor himself had seen it once from afar!
What shocked the little princess was why the ancestor of the Wan Du Men was with the Fourth Prince?
And was the Fourth Prince suddenly able to stand up because he often treated him in secret?
It was not only the little princess who was surprised to see the Fourth Prince come in. Everyone present, except Yan Li and the others, felt incredulous.
After looking around, the Fourth Prince found that there was no seat for him, so he cast a cold look at the eunuch beside him.
"Fourth Prince, since you haven't attended the palace banquet for a long time, so..."
"So there is no place for me at this banquet?" The Fourth Prince interrupted the eunuch, his tone very cold.
Some people who wanted to see the joke felt a chill in an instant.
Yan Li: ...
It seems that the fourth prince is indeed born to be an emperor.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you give fourth brother and his friends more seats?" the prince ordered in a cold voice.
"Yes, yes, I'll arrange it right away." The prince immediately went to make arrangements upon receiving the order.
Feng Ying, who was sitting in her seat, regretted so much when she saw the high-spirited Fourth Prince at this moment.
Her eyes kept lingering on the Fourth Prince, and she was thinking about the possibility of saving the engagement.
"Sister Yan, I heard that you always feel sleepy after attending a banquet? I brought you some snacks." The Fourth Prince's expression immediately changed when he looked at Yan Li.
From the original killer god to the boy next door.
"Xiao Si is still thoughtful." Yan Li sighed as she looked at the pile of snacks on her desk.
Xiao Si was what Yan Li called the Fourth Prince, but it made him very happy.
Everyone:...
The Fourth Prince has been staying in his mansion all year round. When did he become so familiar with Miss Yan?
Soon, the eunuchs added seats for the Fourth Prince and the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.
"Sister Yan, I'll go back to my seat first. Just call me if you need anything." The Fourth Prince said to Yan Li and walked towards his seat.
Yan Li: ...
I didn’t expect this little crybaby to be so heartwarming!
"Fourth brother, what's wrong with your leg?" the little princess couldn't help but stand up and ask.
There was a hint of sinister concern in her eyes.
"I was cured accidentally. Qi'er will be happy for me, right?" The fourth prince put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the little princess.
"Of course. Ever since my brother got into trouble, Qi'er has wished for his recovery every moment. Now, my wish has finally come true." The little princess nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
When the Fourth Prince heard this, a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.
"Qier is thoughtful." The Fourth Prince said coldly.
At this moment, the emperor arrived with his favorite concubine, Li Guifei.
When the emperor saw the Fourth Prince sitting there, he was startled. His first reaction was that the Fourth Prince came because of the broken engagement.
The emperor had been thinking about how to appease the Fourth Prince so that he would not make a scene at his birthday banquet because of the broken engagement.
Just when the emperor was struggling, the Fourth Prince stood up with the crowd!
He actually stood up!
The emperor could not hide the shock in his eyes!
Except for Yan Li and the ancestor of the Wan Du Sect who were sitting, everyone else stood up and saluted the emperor!
"Fourth Prince, your leg?" The emperor walked up to the Fourth Prince with shock in his eyes.
"In reply to your Majesty, my leg has been healed." The Fourth Prince replied calmly.
"I wonder which miracle doctor treated him?" The emperor was undoubtedly happy to see the Fourth Prince stand up again.
"It was Sister Yan who treated her." The Fourth Prince's words made everyone's eyes fall on Yan Li again.
Yan Li: ...
Before I knew it, I had become the focus of everyone's attention again!
So helpless!
"Miss Yan's medical skills are so superb." Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at Yan Li with admiration in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise." Yan Li said very modestly.
"Since the Fourth Prince has recovered, Miss Feng, do you still want to cancel the engagement?" The emperor said, looking at Feng Ying.
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Father, you issued an order to cancel the engagement several days ago. How can you say it can be cancelled now?" Just as Feng Ying looked at the Fourth Prince shyly, the Fourth Prince's cold voice resounded throughout the venue.
Everyone was very surprised to hear this. Only then did they know that the engagement between the Fourth Prince and Feng Ying had been cancelled, and it was the emperor who issued the decree.
"Fourth Prince, if you still want to continue the engagement..."
"Is the string of Ice Sea Beads on Concubine Li's neck comfortable to wear?" Before the emperor finished speaking, the Fourth Prince looked at Concubine Li with a cold gaze.
The emperor was a little embarrassed when he heard this!
He knew that the Fourth Prince already knew that he had agreed to cancel the engagement with the Feng family in order to get the string of Ice Sea Condensed Beads to please Concubine Li.
"This is a reward from the emperor, so of course I feel comfortable." Concubine Li said provocatively.
"Father, I heard that this string of Ice Sea Beads was the compensation given by the Feng family to me for canceling the engagement. It would be inappropriate for her to wear it around her neck now, right?" the Fourth Prince asked in a cold voice.
